A
Having spent a fashionable day in Shoreditch — whether at a gallery opening or a tech start-up, you are
desperately in need of decent food to keep going. Fortunately, Shoreditch has a lively food scene and our local
insiders have picked their favorite restaurants for you.
Gloria
This local favorite is impossible to miss with its bright, eye-catching wall design on Great Eastern Street. It’s
one of the most popular spots for social media influencers. This Italian restaurant serves delicious dishes. Its menu
also has fun choices, including creative cocktails and wonderful seasonal specials — don’t miss the 10-level
lasagna (烤宽面)! The inside atmosphere feels like a classic Italian eatery, adding to its charm.
Rochelle CanteenRochelle Canteen offers a distinctive London dining experience with dinner cooked by famous British chefs in
an old repurposed candlelit bike shed (车棚), creating a sense of peace and comfort. Led by Margot Henderson,
who is well-known for French House, the restaurant gains great favor, focusing on simple, seasonal ingredients
instead of modern trends. The roasted quail (鹌鹑) is a must-try.
Butchies Shoreditch
Butchies Shoreditch started as a food truck in 2013, born from a couple’s dream to make the best
fried-chicken sandwich in the city. Since then, it has gained a strong fan base for having “London’s best chicken
burger”. The food is simple but delicious: juicy chicken with just the right crunch, paired with a fantastic house
sauce.
21. What makes Gloria easy to spot in Shoreditch?
A. Giant restaurant signs. B. Italian architectural style.
C. Striking outside decoration. D. Colorful food display windows.
22. What do we know about Rochelle Canteen?
A. It merely serves instant ingredients.
B. It follows the latest food trends.
C. Its chefs once worked in a bike shed.
D. It presents a calming atmosphere.
23. What do the three restaurants have in common?
A. Long-established. B. Well-received.
C. Modernly-equipped. D. Reasonably-priced.

Every fall, billions of birds set off on their long southward journey to overwintering regions. Their journey is
extraordinarily dangerous and exhausting. They can be blown off course in bad weather or crash into tall buildings.
The incredible phenomenon of birds’ mass migration tends to escape our attention, as most migrating birds
travel at night while we are sound asleep. This nighttime journey offers distinct advantages. They can rely on the
stars as they find their way and use the cover of night to hide from natural enemies.
Increasingly, however, urban light pollution poses a threat to migrating birds, misleading their flying direction
and causing crashes into buildings. As global light pollution worsens by about 10 percent each year, birds are
facing a severe survival crisis. The 2025 American Birds report identified one-third of all native bird species ashigh or moderate concern.
Unlike other challenging conservation issues, light pollution is one we can all address easily in our own yards
— simply by flipping a switch. Cities such as Flagstaff, Arizona, offer a model for communities looking to adopt
policies that dramatically reduce artificial light pollution and preserve the night sky. By turning off unnecessary
lights, directing light downward and using “warmer” colored lights, we can significantly reduce negative impacts
on these migrating birds.
Thanks to weather radar and recent technological advancements, scientists can now track bird migrations in
real time and forecast their routes in advance. Drawing on the released migration schedules and routes, each of us
can do our part: switch off outdoor lights, gather to observe the night sky, document sightings in detail and upload
them to eBird, a free citizen-science platform where your participatory information can aid global bird protection
and scientific research.
It’s time to act now and guarantee that future generations can still witness the wonders of bird migration and
the beauty of the starry night sky.
24. What is one benefit of birds migrating at night?
A. Star guidance. B. Less noise. C. Human absence. D. Easier flight.
25. What are ordinary people expected to do for migrating birds?
A. Avoid shining lights into the sky. B. Monitor migration routes.
C. Eliminate indoor artificial lights. D. Categorize native bird species.
26. What’s the function of eBird according to the text?
A. Issuing bird-watching locations. B. Performing live bird broadcasts.
C. Funding global bird-related projects. D. Collecting bird observational data.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Dark Sky, Alarming Future B. Guard Wings Against Urban Light
C. Light Pollution: A Growing Concern D. Bring Birds Lost in Chaos Back Home
C
In the UK, climate extremes damage fields, with 84% of farmers seeing lower crop output. Labour shortages,
rising costs and resource pressure further cloud the outlook of British agriculture.
However, as agricultural problems multiply, creative responses arise. Virtual reality (VR), the same immersive
tech usually associated with gamers, is quietly becoming a lifeline for the global food system, helping buildfuture-ready farms.
Farm work mostly involves operating tractors, but this can be stressful for inexperienced workers, given
tractors’ large blind spots and narrow, muddy rural roads. One critical application of VR lies in enhancing driving
safety through targeted danger training. Traditional training often relies on images and simplified explanations,
resulting in a significant safety gap.
The University of Nottingham created a tractor VR danger test using real 360° footage, placing learners in
high-risk circumstances, such as hidden cyclists or unexpected sharp turns on rough roads. Trials with over 100
drivers showed this immersive training sharpens danger awareness and reduces accident risks.
VR also trains future vineyard workers without damaging vines (葡萄藤). Wet-day practice exposes living
vine cells, allowing diseases to take hold. New Zealand’s MaaraTech Project has developed a system enabling
trainees to practise cutting vines indoors or on rainy days. Sensor-equipped scissors guide users in correct cutting
force and angle, guaranteeing accuracy rather than mere speed, for neater cuts ensure healthier vines and better
grapes. VR training helps new workers gain confidence and enables them to become qualified laborers in a short
time.
Besides, Oregon State University’s project offers virtual farm trips via smart devices, while an Indian
university uses VR centres for interactive lessons on crop growth, animal care and modern production systems.
These projects enrich young people’s understanding of farming. Above all, they give them a head start, sparking
their curiosity and contributing to their engagement in agricultural fields — long before they step onto a real farm.
28. Why does the author mention British agriculture?
A. To analyze labor gaps. B. To stress farming crises.
C. To introduce VR’s role. D. To state causes of crop failures.
29. What is the major problem with traditional tractor-driving training?
A. It fails to make blind spots clear.
B. It barely offers hands-on instructions.
C. It overlooks the importance of safety rules.
D. It can’t fully prepare trainees for real dangers.
30. Which word best describes the performance of the sensor-equipped scissors?
A. Precise. B. Flexible. C. Durable. D. Speedy.
31. In what way do VR farming projects mainly affect the youth based on paragraph 6?A. Career motivation. B. Skill acquisition.
C. Virtual interaction. D. Farm work efficiency.
D
From smartwatches to single-use devices measuring our heartbeats and blood sugar, the wearable healthcare
electronic network enables real-time physiological monitoring, human-computer interaction and timely health
support, offering continuous tracking that was once the stuff of science fiction.
While these small wearable monitors seem lightweight and insignificant, researchers from the University of
Chicago discovered, after conducting a life-cycle assessment, that they have a surprisingly large environmental
cost. A single blood sugar monitor has a 2 kg carbon footprint, equal to driving a gasoline car roughly five miles.
The real challenge lies ahead. These devices are growing inseparable for patients, athletes and the elderly. The
study projected that global device consumption will rise 42-fold by 2050, with an annual output of nearly 2 billion
units. This is the “ butterfly effect ” of wearable tech. What starts as a little breakthrough in a lab becomes a flood
of annual CO emissions, matching those from Chicago’s transport system. Their reliance on harmful chemicals,
2
plastic materials and critical metals accounts for serious environmental damage and growing e-waste.
The study shows over 95% of environmental impact comes from circuit (电路) boards and semiconductors.
The use of gold and batteries creates a concentrated pocket of environmental cost. Researchers modeled three
targeted solutions. Adopting plastics that can be used repeatedly only cuts warming impact by 1.8% to 2.6%, as
circuit boards mainly made of glass fiber, copper and resin are dominant, while using ordinary metals in place of
gold cuts impact by 30%. Using pluggable interfaces, patients could reuse the expensive, long-lived internal
circuits while only replacing the single-use parts, which could reduce impact per use by up to 62.4%.
The study calls for a systems engineering approach that combines life-cycle assessments and growth forecasts
to avoid sustainability crises. With medical wearable devices widely used, this research offers a blueprint for
eco-friendly innovation.
32. What fact does paragraph 1 indicate?
A. Medical errors are on the decline.
B. Fictional ideas can be readily applied.
C. Digital devices guarantee physical health.
D. Wearables are reshaping health monitoring.
33. What does the underlined expression “butterfly effect” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Smart inventions, massive convenience.
B. Brief use, negative consequences.
C. Tiny devices, substantial carbon footprint.
D. Multitasking devices, high demand.
34. Why does using recyclable plastics cut warming effect slightly?
A. Plastic has a short service life. B. Plastic accounts for a small share.
C. Plastic affects metal materials. D. Plastic is too expensive to produce.
35. Who is the text mainly intended for?
A. Ecologists. B. Healthcare workers.
C. Tech designers. D. Sci-fi lovers.

I felt stuck after a painful break-up in my mid-20s, burned out from my job as a prison counselor. I replayed
the past repeatedly in my mind, questioning my own worth and sinking into despair. It was months before I realized
it was a waste of time to drown in anger and sorrow. 36
I started keeping a journal to pour out the messy feelings. This slowly eased my mind, as if a heavy load was
removed from my heart. 37 . Nevertheless, I wouldn’t let it consume me, reminding myself I didn’t deserve
to be trapped by someone else’s choice.
I filled my days with what revived me. I registered for a graduate course, devoting evenings to reading.
Learning renewed my sense of growth, not mere survival. I refined my resume, seeking a job for a fresh start.
38 Every drop of sweat lessened my stress, strengthened my body and sharpened my mind. A year later, I
secured a satisfying HR position.
When hurt by others, we often tend to “cancel” them by bullying or speaking ill of them, attempting to regain
psychological balance and a sense of justice. 39 Hatred imprisons our hearts, stopping us living happily.
Rather than let past wounds weigh us down, we should choose to free ourselves to move forward.
Distraction is the best medicine. It is pointless to direct energy toward past pains. 40 When staying
committed to our own growth and goals, we naturally leave no space in our hearts for hatred or unhappiness.
A. I even took up running after work.B. I was resolved to pull myself out of the dark.
C. What counts most is to gain emotional freedom.
D. Only in this way can we truly excuse unfair treatment.
E. Yet such behavior only makes things worse ultimately.
F. There were nights when I still felt the weight of what had happened.
G. Instead, we should channel it into shaping a more decent version of 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。
Jake lived with his mother in a small apartment in a city of the UK. His father had battled cancer for years and
passed away last year, leaving him a bike as a precious memory. For Jake, this bike was not just a means of
transport — it was the only way for him to get to school every day, and also a warm reminder of his father.
To support Jake through high school, his mother worked hard, taking on three part-time jobs: cleaning hotel
toilets, washing dishes in a restaurant and delivering leaflets around the neighborhood. She came home late every
night, tired out, but never complained. Deeply understanding how tough his mother’s life was, he never asked for
anything extra and kept studying hard.
One Friday afternoon, Jake locked his bike outside a bookstore and stepped inside. When he came out, the
bike was nowhere to be found. He searched the streets crazily, but all his efforts were useless. His heart sank. Hewas afraid to tell his mother the truth, aware that her tight budget simply couldn’t afford a new bike.
He was wandering aimlessly along the sidewalk when Mr Smith, a retired teacher, passed by him on a bike.
Jake’s eyes widened because the bike looked almost identical to his lost one. He ran after Mr Smith until he parked
his bike at the gate of a big house and went in without locking it. He looked up and down the bike only to find it
wasn’t his at all. Overwhelmed by desperation, Jake hesitated for a second, then jumped on the bike and rode home
as fast as possible.
His mother didn’t notice anything different. But Jake lay awake all night long, feeling guilty. He knew he had
made a terrible mistake, so he made up his mind to return the bike the next morning and buy a second-hand one
with his saved lunch money.
The next morning, Jake got up early and rode the bike back to the gate of the big house, his heart pounding
with nervousness.

Grow Against All Odds
As shown in the picture, a delicate seed forces its way through the rocky soil, striving to grow into a towering
tree. Its roots stretch deep into the hard earth, while its shoots reach eagerly toward the bright sun. All this vividly
shows that even the weakest life can break through tough barriers.
This natural scene conveys a profound lesson: Success belongs to those who persevere. In my own life, I often
face obstacles such as setbacks and self-doubt, which could defeat me unless I get them over. I never give up,
keeping striving persistently for my dream, just as the seed does.
Life is a mixture of light and shadow. Whatever challenges come, never shrink or hesitate. Grow against all
odds, and you will eventually touch the sky.

Just as he parked it, Mr Smith walked out. “Sorry, Sir. I... I was the one who rode your bike away without
permission.” Jake lowered his head, apologizing in a trembling voice, his face pale with fear and deep guilt. Mr
Smith patted him on the shoulder, asking him to calm down and tell the whole story. Choked with tears, Jake
poured all out — his father’s death, his beloved lost bike and his wrong choice driven by helplessness. Mr Smithlistened quietly, his eyes full of sympathy. He didn’t blame Jake at all. Instead, he determined to give him a big
surprise.
“Young man, the bike is yours now. Here is the key,” Mr Smith said gently. Jake lifted his head in shock
and refused immediately, saying he had made a big mistake and didn’t deserve such kindness. But Mr Smith
insisted, “Honesty and the courage to correct mistakes matter a lot. Just keep it.” Holding the key tightly in his
hand, Jake bowed deeply to express his sincere gratitude. On his ride home, the fresh wind brushed his face softly,
filling his heart with warmth, strength and hope. He made a firm resolution that when he grew up, he would pass on
this kindness to people in need, just as the warm-hearted man had done for him.
