Plastic pollution has long threatened the beaches and rich sea life of Lamu, slowly damaging fishing
grounds, tourism, and the ecosystem. Among the piles of bottles, nets, and abandoned boats, one man chose to act
rather than look away.
Mansoor Athman, a 47-year-old resident of Mkomani, has spent much of his life on the Indian Ocean. In
2009, troubled by the growing tide of plastic waste covering the shoreline, he began collecting waste jerrycans,
bottles, and nets from beaches and shallow waters. What started as a single effort soon turned into an
extraordinary vision. Using raw plastic waste, Mansoor built a floating house and boats stayed near the Lamu
Island Forest Office, proving that rubbish could be transformed into something useful.
The floating home, made from over 1,000 jerrycans, has become both his shelter and his workshop. Living
on the water allows him to interact daily with fishermen and sea users, and share his message about protecting the
ocean, noting that plastics not only enmesh sea life or prevent their digestive systems from functioning normally,
but also carry harmful substances to higher-level creatures, eventually endangering the balance of the whole
ocean’s ecosystems. At first, his routine of walking around beaches with a bag of plastic caused people to laugh at
him. Some people thought he was mad or homeless. Yet his persistence (坚持) slowly replaced doubt with respect.
Mansoor’s mission once strained (使受到压力) his family life, but today his wife Fatma Omar and their
three children fully support him. They understand that his nights spent at sea serve a greater purpose. Locals now
bring plastic waste directly to him, confident that it will never return to the ocean.
Though Mansoor is limited to a primary education, his creativity is endless. Inspired by his late father, a
ship engineer, he believes innovation can rise even from hardship. His floating home stands as a quiet but
powerful reminder that change often begins with one person showing great determination.
24．What first motivated Mansoor to collect plastic waste?
A．A government program about plastic waste.
B．His family’s encouragement to recycle plastics.
C．His interest in building floating plastic houses.
D．The trouble caused by the ocean plastic pollution.
25．What does the underlined word “enmesh” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Trap.
B．Defend.
C．Ignore.
D．Adapt.
26．What was people’s attitude towards Mansoor’s acts in the end?
A．Doubtful.
B．Unconcerned.
C．Curious.
D．Supportive.
27．What does Mansoor’s story mainly show?
A．A determined person can fuel change.
B．Formal education is necessary for success.
C．Plastic houses are excellent in some aspects.
D．Government policies are the ideal solution to pollution.

New research from Syracuse University, New York, has found that weight training can reactivate fast motor
neurons (运动神经元) that decline with age, potentially preventing falls for the elderly.
The study, published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, notes that falls are the leading cause of
injury in adults aged 65 and older. Every year, millions of elderly people fall and get head injuries or long-term
disabilities. In serious cases, these accidents can even cause death, bringing heavy pressure to both individuals and
global healthcare systems.
The reason for this is that our muscles gradually weaken with age, which in turn slows down the
neuromuscular response. This is called neuro-muscular decrement (功能衰退), and is common for adults in their
70s and 80s. It slows down their reaction time and reduces their muscle control — reasons that directly make it
more likely for them to lose balance and fall.
However, in a recently published study that specifically explored the effects of resistance training on nerve
conduction velocity (NCV), a measure of how quickly electrical signals travel along a nerve. With a group of 48
adults between the ages of 18—84, researchers recorded NCV in the forearm, both before and after four weeks of
handgrip resistance training. The results showed that every senior improved their nerve conduction after taking
part in weight training.
“When nerve conduction for fast-twitch fibers (快肌纤维) is damaged, your power and the speed activated
by these fibers will decrease,” says researcher Jason Fried. “These neurons are supposed to drive fast-twitch
muscle fibers. If you cannot reactivate these neurons, you won’t be able to regain that fast movement speed — and
this has important implications, because it can prevent a simple slip or trip from turning into a bad fall.”
28．Why are elderly people over 65 likely to fall?
A．Their fast-twitch fibers are mostly lost.
B．Their bones are weaker than young people’s.
C．They have decreased neuro-muscular function.
D．They are more likely to do intense weight training.
29．How did the recent study obtain its result?
A．By comparing data.
B．By interviewing seniors.
C．By analyzing medical records.
D．By reviewing previous studies.
30．What does the damage of fast-twitch nerve conduction result in?
A．Increased risk of heart disease.
B．Slower recovery from injuries.
C．Improved neuro-muscular response.
D．Reduced muscle power and activation speed.
31．What is the positive significance of this research?
A．To promote weight training.
B．To uncover the secret of aging.
C．To give guidance to the weightlifters.
D．To offer a way to prevent the elderly falling.
D
You might be leaving some happiness on the table by doing your everyday activities all by yourself.
Happiness, it seems, is not just a state of mind — it’s a shared enterprise. A new study has found that almost any
activity, from the ordinary to the profound, becomes more enjoyable when done with others. Whether pumping
gas, or cooking dinner, the company of another person appears to make life’s routines a little brighter.
The study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, drew on data from more than
40,000 Americans who collectively reported over 100,000 daily activities. “Participants consistently rate every
common daily activity as more enjoyable when they’re interacting with somebody else,” said Elizabeth Dunn, the
study’s senior author. Even seasoned experts on social behavior were taken aback by the consistency of the
findings. “I was surprised by the extent and extremity of the effects,” admitted Nicholas Epley, a behavioral
scientist who was not involved in the research.
Unsurprisingly, the biggest boosts were linked to activities already social by nature — eating, drinking,
walking, running, and playing games. Yet even solitary (独自的) pursuits such as reading, or crafting also saw a
happiness bump when shared. While in-person interactions provided the strongest benefits, even phone calls
produced measurable mood improvements. Dunn notes that if it can’t be in-person, having some element of voice
seems to be important.
The study did not include personality data, leaving unanswered how individual characteristics might
influence outcomes. Previous studies, however, suggest that social connection reliably enhances wellbeing across
personality types. Researchers identify “undersociality” — the tendency to underestimate how warmly others will
respond to social initiatives — as a primary barrier to seeking connection.
The practical implications are clear; we should intentionally create more opportunities for social
engagement. Simple strategies such as working alongside friends at coffee shops or conversing by phone while
completing chores can transform ordinary activities into sources of joy. Ultimately, the research convincingly
demonstrates that happiness arises not merely from what we do, but fundamentally from who we do it with.
32．How was the research mainly conducted?
A．By analyzing massive activity reports.
B．By conducting laboratory experiments.
C．By comparing different personality types.
D．By interviewing experts in social behavior.
33．What did the study find about social interactions?
A．They require face-to-face communication.
B．Their effects vary greatly among individuals.
C．They enhance enjoyment of various activities.D．They bring greater joy in independent activities.
34．Why does the author mention previous studies in paragraph 4?
A．To stress the limitation of the new study.B．To introduce a different research method.
C．To provide supporting evidence for a claim.
D．To question the findings of the new study.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Alone or Together: A Social Dilemma.
B．Social Activities: Relationship Builder.
C．Personality Differences: A Factor in Social Joy.
D．Shared Moments: The Social Key to Happiness.

As a student of Chinese language and culture, I was introduced to many fascinating aspects of the country’s
culinary (烹饪的) heritage. One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Brıdge Rice Noodles,
a specialty from Yunnan Province. In 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish
firsthand. 36
Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant and settling down, I felt anticipation that only a long-awaited
experience can bring. 37 Each ingredient was presented separately, allowing me to assemble my bowl
according to my preference. The waiter placed a large bowl of hot broth (肉汤) in front of me, followed by thinly
sliced meats, fresh vegetables, quail eggs, tofu skin, and herbs. Then, the most exciting part came: white, smooth,
and silky rice noodles.
Following the traditional method, I first added the raw meat slices into the hot broth, watching them cook
instantly. Then, I added the vegetables, tofu and eggs, letting them blend into the broth. 38 As I lifted the
noodles with my chopsticks, their delicate texture was evident — soft, yet firm enough to hold their shape.
39 The broth, made from slow-simmered chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting.
The rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of
fresh ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming
together harmoniously.
Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and
reaffirmed (再次确定) the deep bond between food and culture. This dish, with its rich broth, silky noodles, and
heartwarming service, is a representation of the beauty of Chinese cuisine. 40
A．The first bite was an explosion of flavors.
B．The dish was served in a traditional manner.
C．The experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
D．While studying in Beijing, I often heard about the dish.
E．Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl.
F．What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt.
G．And now, it holds a special place in my personal journey as well.

The orphanage (孤儿院) stood at the edge of town where the pavement ended and the dust started, with tall
walls painted the color of old gray and windows that were rarely opened, and inside it, the air was filled with the
quiet calm of daily routine, including the sound of footsteps in the hallways, the rustle of pages being turned, and
the faint echo of an unfinished piano lesson.
When I arrived that summer as a volunteer, I was told to “brighten things up”. No one explained what that
meant. On my first day, I wandered from room to room, wiping tables, straightening books, and feeling strangely
unnecessary. The children moved quietly past me, polite but distant, their eyes lowered as if waiting for
permission to breathe. I wondered whether anything I did would matter here.
Then I found the wall behind the dining hall — a long stretch of concrete, sun-faded and scarred with years
of rain. It faced the morning light but gave nothing back. Something in its emptiness mirrored the quiet inside the
orphanage.
One afternoon, while sweeping nearby, I noticed a boy standing close to it, tracing invisible shapes on the
surface. His name was Kai, a silent child with brown-colored hair. He didn’t look at me; he only studied the blank
wall as if he could see something I couldn’t. That moment stayed with me through the night.
The next morning, unsure what else to do, I brought my paints. The first yellow stroke ( 笔画) looked
shockingly bright against the gray. Then came another, and another. As I worked, I sensed movement behind me.
Kai approached, dipped his palm into green paint, and pressed it beneath the branch I had drawn. His quiet
certainty told me I wasn’t working alone anymore.
The following days changed everything. Children who rarely spoke began adding their own marks — tiny
hands shaping forests, rivers, suns, and soaring birds. Laughter returned in small bursts, shy at first, then growing
louder. Although the wall wasn’t entirely covered, it was full of color and alive.
