If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the
roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg
mountains spill outward like an unfolding story.
We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d
wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung
in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was
pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats.
The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare
region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels
like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the
region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) poaching statistics in the country.
Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and
sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed
only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its
mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were.
Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a
night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning
sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no
newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick
all the boxes.
24．What did the author witness about the lions?
A．Their playful race.
B．Their staged show.
C．Their fierce conflict.
D．Their hunting attempt.
25．What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．A key concept.
B．A public image.
C．An ignored idea.
D．An active practice.
26．Which of the following best describes Damien?
A．Calm and distant.
B．Informed and passionate.
C．Energetic and creative.
D．Disciplined and ambitious.
27．What does the author think of the safari?
A．It displayed racial harmony.
B．It had a disappointing ending.
C．It revealed why she loved nature.
D．It satisfied what she could hope for.
C
Every year, monarch butterflies travel thousands of kilometers as they migrate from Canada to Mexico in
the fall, just to head back north again in the spring. This is possible thanks to the natural structure of their wings,
which makes them lightweight, flexible, and excellent at flying — a unique combination the researchers wanted to
copy in their robots.
Despite their small size, the natural design of monarch butterfly wings is very complex, evolving to stand
extremely long journeys. One of the fundamental principles that make these wings so efficient during flight is that
they don’t just create thrust (推力) by actively moving, but also by passively bending their natural shape, which
allows them to ‘glide’ without spending additional energy.
To achieve this, the research team, led by Oliver Gutfleisch at TU Darmstadt, built the robotic butterfly
wings by putting magnetic particles (磁性粒子) into a flexible plastic material. “The wings are made from a
magnetic composite material that responds to external magnetic fields,” said Kilian Schāfer, co-author of the
study. “When a magnetic field is applied, the magnetic particles cause the wings to bend, copying the movement
of real butterfly wings.”
Using 3D printing, the researchers created 12 different wing designs with different sizes to test their
behavior using a mix of experimental tests and computer simulations. Some of the designs also recreated vein (翅
脉) patterns in their design that copied those found in monarch butterfly wings to test if these structures could
improve their performance. What they found was that larger wings — about 28 mm long — with vein patterns
were less rigid and easier to bend, making them better at adapting their shape during flight.
In their tests, the scientists also found that butterflies that were 3D-printed using higher energy laser (激光)
settings were thinner and better at bending. However, they were also more delicate and easily damaged. “The
biggest challenge was creating thin, flexible structures with vein patterns that were still functional while being less
than a millimeter thick,” said Schāfer. “Ensuring that these features were preserved required fine-tuning
3Dprinting process, particularly the laser energy settings, to achieve the desired mechanical properties.”
28．How did the researchers make the robotic wings fly?
A．By applying external magnetic fields.
B．By using the restorative force of the plastic.
C．By filling them with air pressure.
D．By attaching tiny mechanical motors.
29．What did the scientists find about the 3D-printed robotic wings?
A．All wing designs showed identical flight behavior.
B．Smaller wings kept robots’ energy requirement low.
C．Larger wings with vein patterns performed the best.
D．The vein patterns made wings rigid and worse for flight.
30．What is the message implied in the last paragraph?
A．3D printing helped produce stronger robotic butterflies.
B．Adjusting laser energy could make ideal robotic butterflies.
C．Magnetic material made flying robots unable to function well.
D．Higher energy settings ensured wings were more adaptable.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Monarch Butterfly Migration Is Simply Magical
B．Butterflies Lead to Artificial Colors for 3D Printing
C．Butterflies’ Movements Reveal Earth’s Magnetic Field
D．Monarch Butterflies Have Inspired the Robotic Wings
D
Fifteen decades ago, Francis Galton first came up with the term “nature versus nurture”, and this debate
over the factors shaping human identity has long been a central topic in human sciences. Do our genes determine
our life paths, as hereditarians ( 遗传论者) argue? Or are we born as empty paper, shaped merely by the
experiences we have in our families and the wider world? Today, however, a new branch of science is ready to
overturn the debate. Through this new perspective, nature and nurture are hardly separable at all — genes and the
environment do not act independently, but instead interact closely and even shape one another in tangible ways.
Genes do not shape our identities merely on their own within our bodies; instead, they function partly by
molding the environments we choose or create. A striking finding of this research is that our environment is, in
part, shaped by the genes of the people around us. Initial research suggests that your partner’s genes influence
your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do. A few students with a genetic trend
for smoking in a high school seemed to cause smoking rates to skyrocket across the entire grade — even among
students who have no direct contact with these students — like a gene-driven wildfire spreading through social
networks.
Genes alone aren’t enough to determine these outcomes and neither is environment. Nature and nurture
both shape each other, with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and nurture influencing the way our
nature expresses itself. The more opportunities and information the environment provides — the more varied
environments become — the bigger the role that genetic variation plays in distinguishing us into different groups.
Nature and nurture aren’t separate forces — they’re a Möbius strip (莫比乌斯环), endlessly circling back
on each other. This interdependence means their interaction is fluid and reciprocal, a core insight of
sociogenomics that bridges genetic and social science.
32．Why did the author mention the “nature versus nurture” debate in paragraph 1?
A．To emphasize the dominant role of family experiences.
B．To introduce a long-standing core topic in human sciences.
C．To highlight the weakness of early hereditarians’ arguments.
D．To lay a contrastive foundation for a new scientific perspective.
33．What can be inferred from the example of students?
A．Smoking behavior spreads mainly through direct persuasion.
B．Genetic tendencies can indirectly change group behavior.
C．School rules fail to control students’ genetic instincts.
D．Only smokers’ friends adopt the same genetic risks.
34．What happens when environments become more diverse according to paragraph 3?
A．People rely less on their genetic traits.
B．Genetic differences play a smaller role.
C．Genetic differences become more influential.
D．Nurture becomes more important than nature.
35．What does the author mean by comparing nature and nurture to a “Möbius strip”?
A．They depend entirely on physical conditions.
B．They have a one-way influence on each other.
C．They form a complex, continuous cycle of impact.
D．They are two separate parts of human development.

Understanding Risk Awareness
Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major
life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. 36 For
instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference
is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in
which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts.
37 Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety
first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal
rules. 38 In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have
fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks
to maintain their present situation and protect property.
Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. 39 Shocking stories about rare
but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by
providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. 40 Understanding the mind
behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health.
A．Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes.
B．In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day.
C．This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources.
D．People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk.
E．Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks.
F．Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations.
G．Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking.

Traditional Chinese herbal medicine, a time-honored practice 56 (originate) from more than
5,000 years ago, is a vital part of Chinese culture. Based on the concept of “harmony between humans and
nature”, it holds the view 57 each herb has its own unique property to balance the body’s inner energy,
or qi. 58 Western medicine, which often targets symptoms directly, Chinese herbs aim to restore the
body’s natural balance and cure illnesses from the root 59 they take more time to show effects.
In ancient times, doctors journeyed into remote mountains to gather wild herbs. Today, these herbs are not
only grown on professional plantations but also are exported across the world because over time, more and more
people 60 (witness) herbs selected carefully for their properties work well in relieving certain
conditions. A single herb can work alone, or it can be mixed with others to make a 61 (tailor)
prescription (药方) — a process that requires rich experience to ensure safety and 62 (efficient).
Many herbs are frequently used in daily life: they 63 (boil) into tea to clear internal heat or added
to soups to boost immunity (免疫力). There is 64 growing global interest in herbal medicine, as more
people recognize its mild yet lasting benefits. Researchers in this field are now conducting studies to clarify its
scientific principles, linking traditional wisdom with modern science. Hopefully, people will 65
(thorough) understand the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.

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。
When I was chosen by my headteacher to present our class project at the annual school event on behalf of
my class, I felt both honored and anxious. Speaking in front of such a large audience had always been my biggest
fear. Although the project, which focused on reducing plastic waste on campus, meant a lot to all of us, I was still
worried that my nervousness would ruin everything.
During the first practice session, I struggled to get through the speech. My voice shook, and I
mispronounced several words. Worse still, I forgot some key points, which left me feeling both frustrated and
embarrassed. Seeing my struggle, my best friend Lily volunteered to help. Every afternoon, she stayed with me
after school, patiently listening to my rehearsals and giving suggestions. “Take it slow. You’re doing better each
time,” she would say, encouraging me with her calm smile. Slowly, I began to feel more confident.
A week before the event, our headteacher organized a full rehearsal in the auditorium. Standing on the huge
stage made my stomach flip, and I felt as if the bright lights were burning my face. Halfway through the speech, I
completely lost track of my lines and froze in panic. My heart was pounding, and I thought I would never
continue. Just then, I noticed my classmates in the front row, smiling and mouthing, “You can do it!” Their warm
support helped me regain focus, and I managed to finish the rehearsal, even if it wasn’t perfect.
The night before the event, I lay in bed, filled with worries about everything that might go wrong. I
imagined forgetting my lines, stumbling over words, or even tripping on the stage. The next morning, just before I
stepped onto the stage, Lily quietly slipped a small note into my hand. It read simply, “We believe in you.” Her
words made my heart race, but in a good way. I realized that I wasn’t alone — I had the support of my friends and
classmates, and that gave me courage.
