A
WALK FOR GREEN
How often do you walk around the campus instead of getting straight onto the shuttle bus? The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative.
Programme
Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”.
Participation
To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points (and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded.
Walking Journey Points
Important Notes:
1. Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.
2.A maximum of six points will be awarded each day.
Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today!
21. Where does “Walk for Green” start?
A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. LWS Building. D. MTR Station.
22. What are participants required to do?
A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Complete a round trip.
C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Choose a pre-set route.
23. How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building?
A. 1. B.2 C.3 D.6.
B
For a long time, scientists believed the beautiful songs of birds were purely a product of instinct (本能). Peter Marler, a pioneering British animal behaviorist, revolutionized this view through his research into how bird actually learn to sing, earning him the title “the father of birdsong.”
Marler’s fascination began in his youth, observing chaffinches (头燕雀) in the English countryside. He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. This curiosity defined his career. In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real. His famous study of the white-crowned sparrow in California clearly showed distinct dialects between northern and southern populations.
The central question remained: were these dialects inherited or learned? To solve this, Marler designed a series of experiments that would later be regarded as models of clarity, He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. This was decisive evidence that birdsong is a culturally transmitted behavior.
Initially, his theory faced doubts from a scientific community that favored instinct-based explanations. The mainstream view still favored instinct, and some dismissed his work as an exception rather than a rule. Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies, Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. By transforming lines of numbers into meaningful maps of sound and behavior, he gave the world new eyes to see what had always been hidden in plain hearing.
The impact of his work extended far beyond ornithology (鸟类学). It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes.
24. What did Marler find while observing chaffinches?
A. Seasonal variations in dialects. B. Regional differences in birdsong.
C. Slight changes in bird population. D. Common features in bird species
25. What do the underlined words “culturally transmitted” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Found in human language. B. Spread within a single family.
C. Passed down through genes. D. Learned from others in a community.
26.What can we infer about Marler?
A. His findings were soon accepted. B. He truly respected others’ opinion.
C. He was a patient and careful scientist. D. He was the first to study bird behavior.
27. Why was Marler’s theory significant?
A. It supported rare bird protection. B. It proved the once-popular theory.
C. It made bird research more popular. D. It promoted the study of human speech.

How fast do you listen? Hollywood actor Glen Powell likes lx listening speed, saying, “I want to hear people talk at a normal human rate,” while American comedian Bowen Yang believes 1.8x is the perfect pace. Their debate went viral earlier this year in an advertisement for a streaming platform, which was criticized for suggesting that people who listen quickly are unusual. The controversy reflects a broader change in how people consume digital media.
Surveys support this observation. A survey showed that 31% of Americans aged 18-29 listen faster than 1x, compared with only 8% of those over 45. To meet this demand many platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Netflix and YouTube now provide fast playback (播放) options. Some even allow speeds up to 4x for premium users.
The appeal is easy to understand: faster playback can save a large amount of time. YouTube once reported that its viewers together saved more than 900 years per day thanks to this feature. For busy students and workers, such efficiency is attractive.
But does speeding affect comprehension? The average person speaks at a rate of about 150 words per minute, but most brains are capable of processing information faster than that, says Marcus Pearce, a cognitive scientist at Queen Mary University of London. A recent meta-analysis led by academics at the University of Waterloo in Canada found that up to 1.5x there was not much of a difference in performance, although scores started to decrease noticeably as playback speeds approached or exceeded 2x.
The practice has also raised different opinions. From the platforms’ perspective, faster speeds mean users consume more content, which increases advertising income. But many performers argue that something artistic is lost. Reading aloud involves pacing, tone and pause, and rushing may damage the quality of a performance. Imagine the famous monologues (独白) in Hamlet delivered at double speed — much of the meaning would disappear.
Despite the disagreements, fast playback has become part of daily life for many people. For them, to speed or not to speed is no longer a real question.
28. What can be learned about the controversy from paragraph 1?
A. An advertisement is well received. B. People prefer different listening speeds.
C. Digital media is a topic of much debate. D. Streaming platforms are part of daily life
29.Why did many platforms introduce faster playback options?
A. To attract more elderly listeners. B. To respond to the users’ needs.
C. To help people’s comprehension. D. To cut content production costs.
30. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Hamlet?
A. To stress fast speed harms art. B. To show people favor classic works.
C. To prove actors dislike fast playback. D. To suggest modern audiences lack patience.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The need for fast playback B. The argument over an advertisement
C. Higher speed, more profit D. Speedier streaming, less meaning
D
I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you,” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U. S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent you never know.”
In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank-yous are just flushing money down the toilet.
Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health.
What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This ideal isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit.
So perhaps all of our pleases and thank-yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a few extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all. but ourselves.
32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story.
C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept.
33. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show?
A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels.
C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationship
34. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of?
A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity.
C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen.
35. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life.
C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D.AI learns empathy from human behavior.

Nearly 100 bookworms (书迷) walked through the U. S. national Arboretum on Aug, 24, among the sounds of dogs barking, feet marching and police sirens (警笛声) ringing out from a distance. Many walkers didn’t care about those sounds. 36 This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C., a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.
Since starting in march, Book It Around D.C. has grown, bringing together audiobook listeners who said they felt happier or safer in a group. They also said it not only was a pleasure in reading but also brought them a sense of belonging — even if they didn’t talk to each other. “ 37 ” said Bailey, who listened to “The Book Club for Troublesome Women’ by Marie Bostwick.
38 This is especially true because a recent study showed that fewer Americans than before read for pleasure. in addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country. Many readers have found communities on social media, some of Book It Around D.C.’s members discovered the group through Instagram.
On the morning of Aug. 24, Kit Ballenger, a librarian who lives in Montgomery County, set up a foldable table in a parking lot in the southern part of the National Arboretum. 39 They each wrote their first name and current audiobook on a white sticker they stuck to the front of their shirts.
The group began walking a few minutes later — some quickly, others slowly — while many walkers opened audiobook apps on their phones. Some walkers used the roughly 90-minute outing to make friends, chatting about their jobs, their favorite books and their go-to grocery stores. 40 After a quiet walk, the lawn filled with chatter (闲聊)
A. Books are just like our close friends。
B. They were trying to focus on exercise itself.
C. Bookworms say they are seeking like-minded people.
D. People of all ages carried head phones as they approached the table.
E. This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward.
F. The walkers passed trees, paths and gardens, many stopping to take pictures.
G. Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones

The girls sat under their sign in the park, which read “Decorate Your Bike Here!” Park managers had set up a Bike Parade. Bella and Mia planned to earn money by decorating kids’ bikes for the event.
Mia’s dad, an inventor, had given them a basket of bells, whistles, gadgets (小配件) and spare parts. Bella who loves painting, brought paints, brushes, stickers, feathers and other decorations. They had already decorated a few bikes, but Bella felt frustrated.
“Your mechanical things are better,” Bella grumbled to Mia, watching her friend easily assemble the parts of a fancy bell. She held up her own works — colorful flags and a dragon-painted horn — and sighed, wishing they had more use. “The horn sounds like an annoying goose, not a dragon!” she complained. Mia laughed out loud, truly delighted by the funny sound and confidently told Bella the customer would find it charming.
Just then, Bella looked at the bike bell she’d been trying to assemble. “See? Every mechanical thing I try fails! she murmured. Mia leaned over to offer suggestions. Bella tried again, but the pieces still wouldn’t work. Her frustration grew. “I don’t know what I’m doing!” she cried, throwing the bell onto the grass and sitting back beside it, defeated. “Try again, Bella! You can do this,” Mia encouraged gently. Bella kept her eyes shut, hoping no customers would come and pretending she wasn’t a total failure.
But soon a shadow blocked her sun. Her brother Leo and his friend Izzy stood there. “Your bikes need decorating!” Mia announced before Bella could speak. “That’s why we’re here!” Izzy smiled. Bella’s mouth fell open in surprise, but she quickly closed it, afraid to look silly.
After discussing ideas, Mia sent the boys away. She grabbed Bella’s arm and said, “We’ll make these the coolest bikes. You do Izzy’s, and I’ll do Leo’s. Come on!”

One possible version:
Hello, everyone,
Have you ever left class with doubts still in your mind? If so, the best way to deal with them is by asking questions. It not only clears up confusion but also develops critical thinking.
Here are my suggestions for raising questions effectively. We can start before class by reviewing materials and writing down unclear points. Then, during class, it’s important to listen carefully and relate the content to our existing knowledge. Also, instead of merely asking for facts, we should use “why” and “how” to explore reasons and processes. This way, our questions will become more meaningful and thought-provoking.
Every question is a door to discovery. Let’s learn by asking!
Thank you!

“I can’t!” Bella frowned, her heart sinking. She pictured Izzy’s disappointed face if the bike turned out messy. Mia patted her gently, “Focus on what you do best: art!” Bella hesitated, and then picked up her brush. Slowly, her worries faded as she turned Izzy’s bike into a masterpiece, sticking stickers and weaving feathers to create a dragon-themed design. Meanwhile, Mia worked quickly on Leo’s bike, attaching bells on a handlebar. Kids nearby even stopped to watch, pointing at the bikes with wonder. Satisfied, the girls stepped back to admire their work, eager for Leo and Izzy’s reaction.
When Leo and Izzy returned, their eyes widened. Izzy gasped, “It’s like a fire-breathing beast!” His bike shone with Bella’s art: a fierce dragon horn and feathers fluttering in the wind. Leo’s bike was full of Mia’s gadgets — a whistle and LED lights. “This is totally new and awesome!” Leo exclaimed, jumping on the bike. Bella smiled brightly, her earlier frustration gone. Mia winked, “Told you. Together, we make the perfect team.” As the boys rode off, Bella felt a warm sense of pride. She knew her skills had decorated more than just bikes — they’d brought joy to others.
