Improving fitness was Dion Leonard’s inspiration for starting marathon recreationally together with his wife Lucja, and then as race competitors. After finishing sixth in a South African race, he traveled to China to compete in a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert. On the first day, he noticed a small stray (流浪的) dog wandering around the campsite, where amused competitors fed her with their own limited supplies. On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other, and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi.
Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor, ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations. However, disaster struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to leave China.
Despite the language barrier and the city’s 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage, inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer together as well.
The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.
24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Dion quickly formed a bond with Gobi. B. The organizers provided limited supplies.
C. Gobi amused runners by chewing equipment. D. Dogs were encouraged to accompany runners.
25. Why did Dion launch a crowdfunding campaign?
A. To finance his search for Gobi. B. To help rescue other stray dogs.
C. To cover the cost of bringing Gobi back home. D. To obtain an approval for Gobi to leave China.
26. Which of the following best describes Dion’s books?
A. Critical and cross-cultural. B. Motivational and time-honored.
C. Innovative and fantasy-rooted. D. Heartfelt and multi-dimensional.
27. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Animal protection is always on the way. B. A friendship can go beyond boundaries.
C. Traveling a thousand miles makes a man. D. Differences can be bridged with joint efforts.
C
Our solar system is peppered with large rocks, called asteroids. If a big asteroid strikes Earth, there are many possible outcomes. The space rock could drop into the ocean and not harm anyone. Or it could wipe out a city. People have a hard time understanding the chances of an asteroid strike. So a research team calculated the likelihood and compared it with other events — with some surprising results.
“A large or medium asteroid hitting Earth would be noticed worldwide,” says Carrie Nugent, a planetary scientist at Olin College. While killer asteroids have hit before, such as the one that finished off the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, Nugent says a similar situation is not expected to occur in the future. “We try to put this event, which is actually a preventable event, in context with other preventable events,” she adds.
Using a computer program, Nugent and her team modeled a group of asteroids similar to real near-Earth objects (NEOs). They fed them into a program called JPL Horizons. Anyone can use that program to look up predicted locations for objects in the solar system. For this project, her team determined whether each modeled asteroid would cross paths with Earth.
That allowed the team to estimate the frequency of asteroids bigger than 140 meters across, which is around the size of a large ship, Nugent says. An asteroid of this size would hit Earth roughly every 11, 000 years.
However, that number is still hard to understand. So Nugent compared the chances of an asteroid hitting Earth with other events that people may experience as follows.
One-In-X Chance Event Happens to an Individual, or the Planet, Over a Human Lifetime
Books and movies often describe asteroid run-ins as unstoppable events. “The truth is actually entirely the opposite,” she says. NASA’s DART Mission in 2022 hit an asteroid that wasn’t in danger of hitting Earth. The test changed the asteroid’s path. This showed that people might be able to avoid such a crash one day. So, it’s important to do research, such as sky surveys, that locate these objects.
28. According to paragraph 2, what does Nugent think of asteroids striking Earth?
A. It’s hard to predict it. B. It’s urgent to prevent it.
C. There’s no need to worry about it. D. There’ll be disastrous outcomes.
29. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Computer modeling. B. Frequency estimate.
C. System operation. D. Project assessment.
30. Which of the following events is least likely to happen?
A. Coyote attack. B. Elephant attack.
C. Carbon monoxide poisoning. D. Asteroid impact.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To introduce various asteroid research methods.
B. To applaud NASA’s asteroid research findings.
C. To draw media attention to asteroid research.
D. To stress the importance of asteroid research.
D
In the early hours of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese was attacked violently near her New York apartment despite neighbors hearing her screams. The case made headlines in The New York Times, which reported that 38 witnesses heard the attack but took no action.
To figure out the reason, social psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latané conducted two classic experiments. Their first experiment showed that the more bystanders there were, the more an individual’s sense of responsibility diffused — 85% of participants helped in a one-on-one situation, while only 31%did so in a group of six. In their second smoke experiment, 75% of people alone sought help when smoke filled the room, but just 10% did so with passive bystanders around.
They pointed out that the bystander effect mainly springs from people’s failure to interpret a situation as an emergency due to others’ inaction. The second reason for the bystander effect is that when multiple bystanders are present, each person feels less personal commitment to act, as they assume others (especially those with professional skills like doctors or police) will intervene. This phenomenon is more common in urban areas with many strangers, unlike in small communities where people feel a clear sense of responsibility to help others they know.
Recent research has cast doubt on the universality of Darley and Latané’s classic bystander effect theory. Using real-world CCTV footage from three pairs of culturally diverse cities — Lancaster, Amsterdam, and Cape Town — Dr, Richard Philpot of Lancaster University and his team analyzed 212 violent incidents.
Their findings showed that bystanders intervened in 91% of cases, and in direct contradiction to the original theory, the presence of more bystanders actually increased the likelihood of intervention, with multiple people often stepping in together. The consistent types of intervention across different cities suggest we are born with the wish to help others, driven by social conventions and a desire to understand, protect, and assist others.
32. What does the underlined word “diffused”‘ in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Weakened. B. Shifted. C. Continued. D. Increased.
33. The bystander effect occurs primarily because people ______.
A. are unwilling to help strangers B. are influenced by urbanization
C. are discouraged by professionals D. are unable to recognize an emergency
34. Which statement does Philpot probably agree with?
A. Protecting others should be advocated.
B. Bystander responses rely on intervention types.
C. The tendency to help is rooted in human nature.
D. Cultural differences lead to the bystander effect.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Cold Shoulder B. The Blind Eye
C. A Willing Heart D. A Still Tongue

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. 36 She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do. 37
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness. Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look — specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. 38 There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
39 It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, "I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human. ”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. 40 It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach1 out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

Sitting atop the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Yunnan Province, Azheke is a remote village populated by over 400 residents from the Hani ethnic group. The name of the village, Azheke, translates to “a place 56 bamboo grows” in the Hani language.

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。
I lived in an old apartment complex where the walls were thin. For weeks, my new neighbor upstairs was keeping me awake every night between ten and midnight. What I heard was slow, forceful footsteps mixed with crying, as if someone were pacing with the weight of the world on shoulders. To cope with the noise, I would sink into the old rocking chair (摇椅) by the window. The rhythm somehow quieted my mind.
But tonight, the noise was just unbearable. I posted in the building’s group chat, “Can the 3C neighbor keep it down after 10?” Almost immediately, Lena, a cashier at a local market, replied, “Same here. Haven’t slept well for weeks.” And Tom, who ran the secondhand shop on the corner, added, “Don’ they realize how loud it is?” A few others responded, but 3C never did.
I’d had enough. “That’s it,” I thought aloud, pulling on my slippers. “I’m going up there!” I stormed to the third floor, playing my angry speech in my head, “Keep it down! Some of us need to work tomorrow!” The moment the door opened, I blurted out (脱口而出)，“Do you have any idea how much noise you’re making?” But the rest of my prepared speech got stuck in my throat. A young woman stood there, eyes red, swaying (摇晃) gently back and forth in a desperate attempt to comfort a crying baby. The apartment behind her was humble-no dining table, no chairs, not even a lamp, only a mattress (床垫) and a few empty baby food packets on the floor.
“I’m so sorry, Madam,” she whispered, managing a weak smile, “I’m just trying to get her to sleep.” That was when my anger disappeared. A familiar rhythm surfaced in my mind as I saw her sway the baby tiredly. “I have a chair downstairs that might calm your baby,” I smiled softly. She looked up, eyes widening in disbelief.

第一节
Dear Editor,
I really appreciate the practice of playing TV programs at lunch break in the canteen. In my opinion, news programs would be a good choice.
The reasons for my recommendation are as follows. To start with, news programs, covering multiple fields such as politics, technology, economy and culture, help us move beyond textbooks, expand horizons and stay informed about current affairs. Additionally, we can develop a sense of social responsibility and civic engagement, laying the foundation to become contributing members of society.
Therefore, I believe news programs provide both a relaxing and enlightening atmosphere at lunchtime. Hopefully, we can enjoy them in the canteen soon!
Best regards,
Li Hua

“Let me fetch it for you,” I said and rushed downstairs. I dragged out the rocking chair, wrestled it upstairs and set it down beside her. “It might work,” I encouraged her to try it. She sank into it, cradling her baby, and just like that, the crying softened into quiet breaths. Eyes glistening with tears of gratitude, she whispered, “Thank you.” I waved back, closing the door behind me. Returning home, I posted a message in the group chat, explaining the young mother’s difficult situation and calling on everyone to offer her simple, respectful support.
The neighbors responded to my post and agreed to gather at 3C instantly. Lena arrived with some baby food and Tom followed with two chairs, telling he’d bring a bed frame the next day. Warm blankets, a small lamp, and toys neatly piled up at her door. Enveloped in warmth, the new mum choked up, “Thank you all! Your support means the world to me.” We smiled at each other, knowing we’d given a helping hand. I realized the “noise” we had complained about was actually a cry for help, and our kindness had turned conflict into care.
