I always listen to my local public radio station while I’m driving. My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead. But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.
There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas（野猪）that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar（美洲虎）, a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.
As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with? The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading（入侵）the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf.
As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.
I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.
24. What is the morning news about?
A. Dangers of local wildlife. B. Efforts to reintroduce wildlife.
C. Issues of human-wildlife coexistence. D. Distribution of wildlife around the world.
25. Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author?
A. To meet basic needs. B. To protect the desert.
C. To oppose golf playing. D. To attack human beings.
26. What do we know about the Mexican wolves?
A. They are bound to go extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival.
C. Their number has greatly increased. D.10% of them have been reintroduced.
27. What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. Unclear. B. Negative.
C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
C
Authors are upset after tech companies started using their books to train artificial intelligence without letting them know or seeking the ir permission. They worry about copyright and loss of income, among other issues.
According to CNN, the system is called Books3, and according to an investigation by The Atlantic, the system is based on a collection of pirated（盗版的）e-books including all genres, from fiction to poetry. Books help generative AI systems with learning how to communicate information.
The Atlantic article notes that some of the text that’s training AI on how to use language is taken from Wikipedia and other websites. But high-quality generative AI requires higher-quality input than what is usually found on the internet— that is, it requires the kind found in books.
Many authors apparently don’t view the use of their books to train artificial intelligence as an honor. Rather, it’s a shortcut that robs them of their due, they say. CNN reported that Nora Roberts, who writes romantic novels, has 206 books in the database —“second only to William Shakespeare.” “The database is all kinds of wrong. We are human beings, we are writers and we are being exploited by people who want to use our work, without permission or compensation（赔偿金）, to ‘write’ books, scripts, essays because it’s cheap and easy, “she said in a statement to CNN.
Not everyone is upset, however, by use of their work to train AI. I an Bogost, author of some popular books, wrote a column for The Atlantic. Bogost claims that successful art is beyond its creator’s plans, noting that an author cannot accurately predict a book’s audience. “To complain this unexpected use for my writing is to decline all of the other unpredictable uses for it. Speaking as a writer, that makes me feel bad.”
28. What contributes to some authors’ dissatisfaction with Books3?
A. It is unable to train AI. B. It uses their works illegally.
C. It fails to improve their income. D. It sells books without permission.
29. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3concerning Books3?
A. The reason it was created. B. The high quality it possesses.
C. The benefit it has brought. D. The bond it has with Wikipedia.
30. What does the underlined word “exploited” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Made fun of. B. Caught up with.
C. Taken advantage of. D. Looked down upon.
31. Which statement would I an Bogost probably agree with?
A. It’s necessary to predict a book’s audience.
B. Being involved in Books3 is hardly an honor.
C. Good art should be limited to creators’ plans.
D. It’s acceptable for books to be used to train AI.
D
Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics typically arrive at recycling plants mixed together in the same bin. But because they are made of different monomers（单体）, they must be sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products.
“Until about a year ago, everybody thought the only thing you could do is take a plastic, break it back down to a monomer and then re-form it,” says Sanat Kumar, a chemical engineer at Columbia University. To seek new solutions to old recycling problems, his team had to solve a fundamental chemical difficulty: when different plastics are melted together, their various monomers tend to separate from one another. They have developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be recycled together. Their findings, reported recently in Nature, could give new life to many items that end up in landfills.
The new process solves this problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic cross-linkers（交联剂）to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, which creates a bridge, allowing the oil and water to mix together and form a stable liquid, these cross-linkers（when applied under heat）form covalent molecular bonds（共价键）that attach the diverse monomers together. These materials can then be melted and remade again and again because the cross-linkers can break and re-form their bonds.
The researchers hope the technique could eventually help handle more plastic waste—but it’s not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities. Still, Kumar wishes it would be one way to help recyclers address the plastic waste crisis. “The plastics problem is huge,” he says, “and you’re going to have to look for multiple solutions.”
32. The difficulty of recycling different plastics together lies in how to ________.
A. re-form them more quickly B. prevent various monomers being apart
C. break them down thoroughly D. separate various monomers successfully
33. How does the author explain the new process?
A. By listing facts. B. By quoting a report.
C. By providing examples. D. By making a comparison.
34. What can be inferred about the new technique from the last paragraph?
A. It still needs some improvement.
B. It will solve the plastics problem.
C. It has already gained great popularity.
D. It has been affordable for most plants.
35. What can be a suitable title for the test?
A. Monomers Are Still Important for Plastics Recycling
B. The Use of Cross-linkers Outperformed Other Chemicals.
C. Multiple Solutions Are Needed for Mixed-Plastics Recycling
D. New Chemical Process Offers Hope for Mixed-Plastics Recycling

How to give effective feedback（反馈）
In the ever-evolving landscape of personal and professional growth, feedback serves as a compass（指南针）guiding our journey towards improvement. 36 Constructive feedback should follow several principles.
37 It’s not unusual to tell someone about something that upset or pleased you six months later. It’s also easy for people to start from the point of view of “everything you do is rubbish”, especially when things are not going well. But don’t. Think about exact and precise occasions and behavior that are still fresh in both the giver’s and receiver’s minds.
Lay stress on behavior, not personality. Your feedback should target how they act, what effects it has on you or how it makes you feel. Remember that you are making no comment on what type of person they are, or what they believe or value. 38
Focus on improvement rather than criticism. It is expressed in a manner that encourages growth and avoids being negative. To take it a step further, it also provides suggestions for change. 39 It involves putting constructive criticism between positive or encouraging comments. For example, when discussing a project with an employee, start by praising their hard work, then add the areas for improvement, and conclude with encouragement.
Offering effective feedback to others is a win-win act. 40 Both of you get a slice of personal development. To develop better feedback skills, you need to keep practicing and make it a habit. Anyway, practice makes perfect!
A. Be timely and specific.
B. Adopt a tolerant attitude.
C. It’s just like sharing a pizza with a friend.
D. So giving feedback is like making sandwiches.
E. But you can get better at it after reading the principles.
F. However, it can be difficult to give feedback effectively.
G. This reduces the risk of making the receiver feel attacked.

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 a warm Sunday. 16-year-old Stella settled down with a book, enjoying her quiet moment when her friend Bog came over with his 6-year-old sister. “Stella, please! I need you to help to watch Hazel! I have a lecture to attend this afternoon,” Bog begged.
Stella frowned, not thrilled with the idea of babysitting a little girl. However, Bog didn’t offer her any other choice. He dropped Hazel off with Stella and quickly ran away before she could react.
With a heavy sigh, Stella unwillingly turned her attention to Hazel. “Fine, just stay there and don’t cause any trouble,” she grumbled（嘟囔）. To her surprise, little Hazel smiled and obediently sat by the table, drawing quietly without making a single noise.
For the next hour, Stella was quietly engaged in reading without being disturbed by Hazel. Gradually, her annoyance disappeared and she got accustomed to the company of Hazel. After a while, Hazel cautiously approached Stella, holding a picture. “Look, it’s you and me,” she said in a low voice. It was a simple drawing of two girls, hand in hand, smiling.
Stella’s heart softened as she looked at the drawing. She felt guilty about treating Hazel impatiently. Setting her book aside, Stella smiled warmly and said, “I love it. Thank you!” Then Stella began to join Hazel to create it together.
Just as they were lost in a world of colors, a sudden phone ringing broke the warm atmosphere. It was a phone call from her friend, reminding her about the long-awaited plan to go skating on the ice rink（溜冰场）. Stella’s heart sank because she had forgotten all about it. She was torn between the desire to go skating and her duty to look after Hazel. She was also worried that taking her to skate would prevent her from enjoying gliding（滑）freely on the ice.
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。
As Stella hesitated, Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes.

Dear editor,
I'm Li Hua, a student of Class 1. In today 's competitive world, it's not unusual for young people to suffer from mental problems. So I am fully in favor of establishing a Mental Health Club in our school.
For one thing, it provides a safe and supportive environment for us students to pour out our hearts freely. For another, in the club, we can gain professional guidance on how to cope with stress, emotions and relationships with others, which will in turn improve our well-being. Furthermore, a Mental Health Club will help foster a culture of understanding and break down the invisible prejudice against mental problems.
Personally, I think mental health is of equal importance to academic record. Hope that the Mental Health Club will be set up as early as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

As Stella hesitated，Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes.“Can I come with you?" she asked eagerly. Stella's heart melted again at the sight of Hazel's twinkling eyes and she couldn't bear the thought of disappointing Hazel. “Of course," she said softly with a warm smile. Hazel's face lit up with sheer delight as she jumped with excitement. Then, they quickly gathered things and headed to the ice rink. Upon arriving, Stella introduced Hazel to her friends, who welcomed her with open arms. They patiently helped Hazel put on skates and encouraged her to follow them onto the ice.
Hazel admiringly watched Stella and her friends gliding on the ice. Then she tentatively stepped onto the ice. Sensing Hazel's fear, Stella skated closer to help her. With patience and care, she gently guided Hazel how to find balance and glide on the ice. Step by step， they moved forward. Stella's gentle encouragement and support helped Hazel gain confidence. The initial fear gradually gave way to excitement as Hazel glided more smoothly. Watching it, Stella felt a sense of fufillment welling up inside her. They had a fantastic time on the ice and gradually formed a bond going beyond being temporary companions.
