At the point where charity meets sustainability, Wendy Schmidt stands out for her innovative approach to addressing global challenges. Her work goes beyond traditional charity, rooted in a method that considers the interconnections within ecological, social, and economic systems.
Her work began somewhat unexpectedly through her career as a room designer. It was here that she became intensely aware of how design choices impact resource use and waste generation. This awareness grew into a genuine commitment to addressing broader environmental challenges and led to the creation of the Schmidt Family Foundation and initiatives aimed at encouraging systemic change.
One of the core principles guiding Schmidt’s efforts is “venture philanthropy (风险慈善),” which focuses on original, creative solutions to environmental problems. For instance, the 11th Hour Project’s work in the Democratic Republic of Congo helps protect gorilla habitats while providing alternative livelihoods for local communities by supporting the construction of micro-hydropower(微型水力发电) systems.
To deepen public engagement, Schmidt advocates using new media and immersive experiences. She believes technologies like virtual reality (VR)offer unique opportunities to engage the public in ways traditional media cannot. Schmidt hopes to change how people relate to the natural world. In line with this vision, in April 2024, Schmidt co-launched Agog: The Immersive Media Institute, which supports creators and nonprofit leaders in using extended reality technologies to inspire empathy and social transformation.
Throughout her work, she had a strong commitment to ensure that the benefits of technological advancements and environmental initiatives are accessible to all. By integrating traditional knowledge and contemporary science, she tries to create solutions that are both innovative and deeply rooted in respect for the natural world.
24.What makes Schmidt’s work different from traditional charity?
A. Her knowledge of ecology. B. Her strong desire for global changes.
C. Her involvement in local communities. D. Her comprehensive approach to sustainability.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Schmidt’s journey into charity. B. The threat of pollution.
C. Schmidt’s goal for sustainability. D. The significance of recycling.
26. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning the 11th Hour Project in paragraph 3?
A. Schmidt’s personal business expansion goals.
B. Schmidt’s innovative solutions to complex issues.
C. The necessity of investing in big industrial projects.
D. The difficulty in building micro-hydropower systems.
27.What does Schmidt hope to do by using new technologies according to paragraph 4?
A. Set up nonprofit institutes. B. Reshape people’s bond with nature.
C. Replace traditional media. D. Increase public interest in entertainment.
C
Plants can be grown in flexible ways. Besides planting seeds, a special method allows growing new plants from parts of other plants, like rose stems or potato tubers—these copies like the mother plant are called plant clones.
The technique to make plant clones is known as micropropagation (微繁殖). It uses tiny pieces of plant tissue, called explants (外植体) , from a “mother plant” and raises them in a clean lab with nutrient-rich media, under controlled light, temperature, and humidity. The key lies in the ability of a single cell to develop into a whole organism, and dedifferentiation (去分化), where mature cells return to a dividing state before forming new tissues and organs.
Suppose you have a favorite garden plant with unique, attractive flowers but it produces no seeds. In nature, some plants depend on bees, insects, or birds to develop seeds—without these helpers, they may die seedless. To grow it, you can try micropropagation. Beyond resolving the seedless plant problem, it can also efficiently reproduce economically important species like bananas, saving time and cost. Moreover, it enables the production of virus-free plants and helps reproduce stress-tolerant varieties that otherwise struggle to produce seeds.
You might be curious about the materials and experimental setup required for this modern technique. The process needs a mother plant, suitable explants, and a nutrient medium. After being cleaned, explants grow into complete plants in a room with a controlled environment. Later, they are hardened and relocated to greenhouses or fields. Additionally, simple micropropagation, such as using stem cuttings of roses, lets people grow plants at home without seeds, offering a convenient way to reproduce beloved plants.
28. What can people do with the special method according to paragraph 1?
A. Produce plant seeds. B. Change plant colors.
C. Grow new identical plants. D. Protect rare plant species.
29.What does the underlined word “them” stand for in paragraph 2?
A. Explants. B. New plants. C. Seeds. D. New cells.
30. What can we know about the process according to the last paragraph?
A. It is hard to reproduce roses at home.
B. Plants grow better indoors than outdoors.
C. The growth of explants needs special care.
D. Simple micropropagation needs complex procedures.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Micropropagation: Its Trouble and Cost B. Explants: From Leaves to Plants
C. Plant Cloning: Its Benefits and Procedure D. Nutrient Media: Energy for Plant Growth
D
Nowadays, there are pet pampering (宠爱) packages at hotels, menus with dog-friendly roast dinners and animal-friendly charter flights. This is the “pawprint(爪印) economy” — and it’s booming. Pet travel isn’t just a trend, it’s something of a transformation. The benefits are real for both parties: strengthened bonds, shared experiences and opportunities to build skills and confidence.
But there’s a growing gap between what the industry is offering and what people and pets need. Here’s where the disconnect emerges. While providers advertise “pawsecco” and pet spas, research has shown that people prioritise practical care over “extras”. Studies identify six key qualities that people are looking for: service design, activity support, safety, pet-friendly staff, transparent policies with fair fees, and lastly, amenities(便利设施). Crucially, green spaces drive pet travel planning, boosting wellbeing for both human and animal. After all, this is the real reason why people choose to travel with pets.
Yet many people with pets say they don’t believe any accommodation is truly pet friendly, signalling a trust gap. Many properties advertise as “pet friendly” but place restrictions, surprise fees or go no further than simply allowing pets to stay. Part of the problem seems to be one-size-fits-all thinking. Research identifies three distinct groups of people travelling with dogs. There are those seeking basic, convenience-focused accommodation. High-quality experience seekers are willing to pay for luxury. And activity-loving travellers prioritise outdoor adventures. A chihuahua on a city break has different needs to a labrador on a hiking trip, yet many providers offer generic(通用的) packages that delight no one.
The evidence from both researchers and industry is clear: people will pay more to travel with packages that delight no one.
The evidence from both researchers and industry is clear: people will pay more to travel with their pets. For tourism providers, the opportunities are significant. The travel industry faces a choice: continue offering superficial “pet-friendly” experiences or genuinely adapt and ease the stress for travellers and their pets. The evidence shows that pet-friendly facilities, support with activities, and attentive service outweigh add-ons. Delivering this means providing transparent online information so travellers can assess facilities and policies confidently, designing spaces that genuinely welcome pets, and training staff to deliver a knowledgeable service.
32.What is the first paragraph intended to do?
A. Show the rise and advantages of pet travel.
B. Compare traditional and modern pet care.
C. Promote animal-friendly hotels and flights.
D. List reasons why pets travel with owners.
33.What is the real reason for pet travel planning according to paragraph 2?
A. Advertising extra services. B. Construction of green spaces.
C. Enjoying extra services. D. Access to green spaces.
34.What is the disadvantage of one-size-fits-all thinking?
A. It ignores pet safety rules. B. It causes environmental pollution.
C. It fails to meet different needs. D. It promotes irresponsible pet ownership.
35.How can the travel industry offer genuine pet-friendly experiences according to the evidence?
A. By reducing travel costs. B. By advertising for good pet trainers.
C. By providing luxury facilities. D. By offering satisfactory service.

When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir(合唱团) helped her fit in the new environment. 36 With her tireless efforts, the Choir with No Name (TCWNN) was officially born.
The link between homelessness and mental illness has been widely documented. Clearly, the challenges facing people experiencing homelessness extend beyond finding shelter. 37 Fortunately, according to its most recent annual member survey, 88% saw mental health improvements after they joined the choirs.
38 They are experiencing homelessness among some of the most isolated in our communities. “Our choirs aim to be the opposite of that experience, where everyone is seen and heard, and where they can leave their troubles at the door and have fun!” says its chief executive Dr Kate Wareham.
Not only is everyone welcome, but they also benefit from support that they may not find else where. “Our choir directors are experts in teaching group singing in a way that ensures everyone is supported to flourish, both personally and musically,” says Dr Wareham. “ 39 Better still, they encourage them to take the leap and sing a solo.”
Jane, who has been singing in the Liverpool choir since 2015, says her life has been transformed. In the early days when she was living in a hostel, she had withdrawn into herself. But weekly choir rehearsals offered her a routine among the chaos, which provided hope during dark times. From her perspective, if her life was a ladder, coming to choir was the start of her climbing up that ladder. 40
A. Nevertheless, getting people through the door can be a struggle.
B. They are also likely to experience poor physical and mental health.
C. Mental health concerns are common among a wide range of countries.
D. Those directors understand how group singing can build confidence over time.
E. Slowly but surely, she got to where she is today—a confident and outgoing person.
F. Inspired, she decided to start one to provide comfort and confidence to those in need.
G. Consequently, she worked with those who are less confident to help them find their voice.

“Alex, are you up yet?” The sudden knocking on Alex’s bedroom door grew louder. It was 6 a.m. on Saturday. His older brother Ben was already dressed and eager to go fishing. Alex complained quietly. He didn’t even get up this early for school.
For as long as Alex could remember, Ben had been the golden child — taller, more athletic, more popular. Though only one grade ahead, Ben carried himself with the confidence Alex envied. Their father always seemed to favor Ben, praising his achievements while barely noticing Alex’s efforts. Yet sometimes Alex caught sight of exhaustion in Ben’s eyes when their father went on about his achievements.
Alex wanted to prove himself to Ben, to show he was just as capable. So when their father suggested a fishing trip together, Alex agreed. He had fished often with his dad and was a strong swimmer — this was his chance to shine. But then Ben announced they would be fly fishing, something completely new to Alex.
When they reached the stream, Ben began setting up his fly-fishing equipment, his hands moving expertly. Feeling incompetent, Alex scanned the ground for rocks to skip. When Ben asked him to tie the fishing knots, Alex finally admitted, “I don’t know how. I’ve never done this before.” “You said you went fishing all the time,” Ben said, and then proceeded to explain everything slowly. “Got it? Is that simple enough for you?” Alex turned away. Ben could be really mean sometimes.
Ben climbed onto a large rock and began demonstrating how to cast. Suddenly, something pulled hard on Ben’s line. The rod (鱼竿) bent sharply. “Hey! I think I’ve got something!” A split second later, Ben lost his balance and slipped. Before Alex knew what was happening, Ben fell into the stream with a cry and got pulled downstream by the current. For the first time, Ben looked scared.

Dear Eric,
Glad to know you’re interested in China’s culture of respecting the elderly, I’m writing to share with you a plan I have made to improve our community’s public space for the elderly.
My plan covers several practical points, ranging from adding non-slip mats and support bars in walkways and rest areas to setting up comfortable chairs at short intervals and a small reading corner with large-print books. These designs are based on the physical conditions of the elderly such as reduced mobility and weakened eyesight. Consequently, the plan can keep them safe and cozy.
Any similar elderly-friendly designs in your country? Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Alex carefully moved around the large rock, his heart pounding. He saw Ben soaking wet and shaking, holding tight to a small rock downstream. “I can’t swim!” Ben shouted, his voice trembling with fear. Alex didn’t hesitate—he jumped into the cold water right away. He was a strong swimmer, so he fought against the current with steady strokes, getting closer to Ben quickly. When reaching his brother, he put a firm arm around his chest, using all his strength to pull him back to the bank.
Lying on the ground in the sunshine, they finally regained their breath. Once Ben stopped shaking, he turned to Alex, his usual confident look gone. “Thank you,” he said quietly, his eyes showing how grateful he was. Alex nodded and smiled, realizing Ben wasn’t the “perfect” brother—he was just a kid who got scared sometimes. In that quiet moment, the awkward distance between them melted away, and they both felt something warm and new started to grow between them.
