To truly help our planet, we need to connect with it. And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified
expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers.
Big Butterfly Count
Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation
is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators.
Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker
or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in.
The Great UK WaterBlitz
This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next
one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help
in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more
information, along with your own water testing kit.
The Big Garden Birdwatch
Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers
to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than
600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more
details.
Nature’s Calendar
This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change isaffecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area
you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the

The eyes of an artist are special. They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their
imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives
with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement.
“Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself
through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and
creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her
eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on
her communication device.
Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon
the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.”
Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she
was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be
creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice
gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a
gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful indifferent ways. That’s what we want to show.”
Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as
a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine.
4. What’s special about Emily Shifflet?
A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents.
C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes.
5. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox?
A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter.
C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome.
6. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online?
A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities.
C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life.
7. What does the text indicate?
A. Art originates from life but is higher than life.
B. Technology has made our life worth living.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. Technology breaks down barriers.
C
Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve
diagnostic accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52%
of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment.
“While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening
patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the
benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient
decision making is required.”
In this study, participants were placed into settings as mock patients and asked whether and under what
circumstances they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
In the first phase, researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to
current and future AI technologies. In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic,
racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey.
Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference and
about 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed that their primary care physicianfelt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the
significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision.
Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants
selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI,
as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need
specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses.
“I really feel this study has the importance for national reach. It will guide many future studies and clinical
transitional decisions even now,” Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure
that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as
they play an increasing role in the future of health care.”
8. What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2?
A. Further clinical research is required.
B. Its benefits remain to be confirmed.
C. It can ensure a good listening patient experience.
D. Physician involvement will increase patients’ acceptance.
9. What may affect participants’ preference for AI treatment according to the research?
A. Their sensitivity to AI’s value.
B. The questions they were asked.
C. The access to the physicians.
D. Their personal backgrounds.
10. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Attempt. B. Responsibility.
C. Impression. D. Opportunity.
11. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients
B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI
C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems
D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI
D
When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline,
writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual,
wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by globalevents, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera
outbreak — The Plague (1947). Who would write the first great novel of the latest era?
Two of America’s novelists, Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez, have recently published novels that try to
carry this tradition. The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has
all the concerns of a middle-aged, middle-class American living in the 21st century. She ends up in an apartment
alone, but her real crisis is literary. Suffering from writer's block, she concludes that “the traditional novel” has lost
its “urgency” now. Mr Cunningham's Day, coincidentally, is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is
now outdated. It tells the story of a young family in New York — Dan, an ageing singer, and Isabel, a photo editor,
have two young children. His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the
relationships of several other people they know. Day is alive with all of the small thoughts, looks and feelings that
the global financial crisis caused.
Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries, the impacts of current events on novels have so
far been weakened. With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham’s
books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory. Despite
their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground. As people’s depression gradually gave way to
the optimism of the digital age, they soon slipped right back into normality. The same is proving true for fiction.
Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers
of literature, how much stayed the same.
12. Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1?
A. To set a standard. B. To raise a question.
C. To clarify a confusion. D. To illustrate a phenomenon.
13. What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common?
A. Both belong to traditional novels. B. Both present characters faced with crises.
C. Both are written in first-person perspective. D. Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment.
14. What is the significance of Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham's books?
A. They adopt novel subject matters.
B. They highlight changes in family relationships.
C. They serve as records of a special but passing period.
D. They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries.
15. Which best describes the author’s attitude towards the two novels?
A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.

There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience,
and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with
chaos, controversy, and conflicts.___16___It shines our way through darkness.
Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus
Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within
ourselves.___17___And how?
Embarking on new experiences is 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 are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to
different views.___18___It is not emotion-based either. 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?___19___
The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever
is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why.
Rome was not built in a day.___20___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. Individuals need to bring it out.
B. It isn’t something you are born with.
C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
D. Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination.
E. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors.

47. 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 the summer of 2019, and I was part of a team of eight climbers attempting to reach the top of Mount
Rainier in Washington State. We had been training for over a year, preparing for the physical and mental challenges
of the climb. Our team, composed of experienced mountaineers and a few beginners like myself, had grown closeduring our training sessions. We relied on each other for support, encouragement, and motivation. If someone was
struggling, the rest of us would step in to help, whether it was carrying extra sports equipment or offering words of
encouragement.
The first two days of the climb went smoothly. We made good progress, reaching Camp Muir at 10,000 feet
without any major issues. The weather was perfect, and our spirits were high. On the third day, we began our push
for the peak. The plan was to start early in the morning, around 2 a.m., to take advantage of the colder, firmer snow.
We roped up and began the climb, each of us focused on the task at hand.
As we approached Disappointment, Cleaver, a steep and dangerous section of the climb, the weather began to
change. The wind picked up, and the temperature dropped significantly. We could barely see more than a few feet in
front of us because of the dense fog, and the snow underfoot became unstable. Despite the challenging conditions,
we carried on, determined to reach the peak.
Then, disaster struck. One of our team members, Sarah, lost her footing and slipped. The force of her fall pulled
the rest of us off balance, and we all fell, sliding down the slope (斜坡). I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I hit a rock,
and I knew immediately that something was wrong. The rest of the team quickly regained their footing and managed to
stop our slide, but I was unable to stand.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“I think my leg is broken,” I said painfully.
