We often hear the phrase “dogs are man’s best friend.” But this isn’t just a saying — it might actually be true. Dogs are more than cute and loyal pets. Research suggests they may even help people live longer and healthier lives.
One major study found that people who own dogs have a lower risk of death, especially those who live alone. Why does this happen? Dogs bring many health benefits. They improve both physical and mental health in ways we are only beginning to understand.
To begin with, dogs get us out of the house and moving more. Even the least active person will walk more to let their dog outside. These short walks add up. They help control weight, blood pressure and cholesterol (胆固醇) without feeling like hard exercise. Research published in a sports science journal showed that people over 40 who walk more each day tend to live longer. Daily dog walks can be a simple step toward better health.
In addition, dogs are good for the heart. According to Harvard Health, dog owners often have lower blood pressure than people without dogs. Part of this comes from walking, but part is also from the calming effect of petting a dog. Even a few minutes of touching a dog can help people feel calmer and more relaxed.
Dogs also play a role in mental health. Petting a dog reduces stress, slows the heart rate, and relaxes tense muscles. Daily routines such as feeding and walking a dog give people a sense of safety. A 2019 study found that just 10 minutes of petting a dog can greatly reduce cortisol, a hormone (激素) linked to stress. Looking into your dog’s eyes can raise oxytocin, the “love hormone,” helping people feel closer and safer.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Living alone makes dog owners healthier.
B. Dogs are kept mainly for emotional support.
C. The health benefit of dogs is fully understood.
D. Dog owners may enjoy better health over time.
25. According to paragraph 3, what might lead dog owners to be more physically active?
A. A stronger interest in workout. B. A daily need to take dogs outside.
C. A preference for easier exercise. D. A change from exercise to dog walking.
26. What can be inferred from the 2019 study?
A. Petting dogs can lower people’s stress levels.
B. Touching dogs works best for heart problems.
C. Walking dogs is the main reason people live longer.
D. Looking into dogs’ eyes is the key to human health.
27. How does the author mainly develop the text?
A. By telling a personal story. B. By listing facts and reasons.
C. By following the order of time. D. By comparing different opinions.
C
On January 7, 2025, the Palisades fire in Los Angeles burned Charlotte Tragos’s home to the ground. She lost everything: family treasures, memories, and even the marks on the wall that showed how tall she grew as a child. “It was a unique house,” she said. Tragos, along with her family, had to run away quickly, taking only a few things, including her high school diploma (文凭)and a pair of shoes. “The streets were full of people running, driving on the wrong side of the road,” she recalled, adding that everyone knew they were running for their lives.
Days after the fire, a friend sent Tragos a video about a local artist, Jordan Heber, who was offering free watercolor paintings of homes before they were burned. Tragos reached out to Heber, asking if she could paint her childhood home. She wanted to surprise her parents, who were struggling after losing everything. Heber completed the painting in just three days. “It’s an honor to create lasting reminders of places that held so many memories,” said Heber, who lives in Santa Monica.
Tragos was deeply touched. “It means the world to me,” she said. “We have nothing, but this painting reminds us of what our home meant. ” Heber, a brand designer by trade, typically asks for $350 to $400 for custom paintings. However, after seeing another artist’s similar offer, Heber decided to give her art for free to people affected by the fire. “This will be my way to help,” she thought.
Since then, Heber has created over 25 paintings, including one for Jeremy Wineberg, whose family home was also destroyed. Wineberg, who had to leave with only a few personal things, said, “It wasn’t just stuff; it represented my life. ” Jimenez, his wife, found Heber’s offer on a social media and contacted her. “She made such a beautiful memory for us,” Wineberg said, adding that they planned to put the painting on the wall in their new home.
28. What did Tragos mean by saying “everyone knew they were running for their lives”?
A. The rescue work was like a marathon. B. The situation was life-threatening.
C. People struggled to escape as a group. D. People hurried to save their own things.
29. What made Heber offer free paintings to the survivors?
A. A sense of honor to give back. B. A wish to surprise her parents.
C. A plan to serve her community. D. A desire to help people in need.
30. Which of the following can best describe Heber?
A. Caring and generous. B. Wise and responsible.
C. Confident and organized. D. Professional and creative.
31. What would Wineberg probably agree with?
A. Art can help keep memories alive. B. New homes remove the pain of loss.
C. Losing things is part of starting over. D. Material things matter more than memories.
D
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has started an activity asking the UK government to ensure all state secondary students in England have regular access to nature. Cat Hickey, who leads ZSL’s work to encourage people to protect nature, says these outdoor experiences are important for teens’ school performance, mental health and social growth, and help them build skills needed for future jobs.
However, recent data shows that teenagers’ chances to connect with nature are diminishing. A 2023 UK survey found only 12% of secondary students spend time in nature every day, down from 30% when they were in primary school. A 2024 report added that 56% of England’s secondary schools offer no outdoor learning at all.
Being in nature helps students perform better in all subjects, not just science. For those who struggle in traditional classrooms, outdoor learning offers a new way to take part: it can increase their focus, improve their behavior, and build their confidence. It also helps develop positive qualities like independence and empathy (同理心). A 2024 study found that nature reduces stress, and it may even help lower the number of students who are not attending school or working. This could save the government a lot of money.
However, access to nature is not the same for all students. Urban (城市的) students often have no safe green spaces nearby, and their families may not have enough free time for outdoor activities. Therefore, these students, who could benefit the most from nature, end up getting the least of it.
ZSL is working to close this gap through education programs. But changes are needed across the system: ZSL is calling for the government to provide funding, training, and support for schools to access natural spaces. Teachers want to offer these opportunities. They just need government support. Bringing students closer to nature will create a healthier, happier generation, one that is ready to protect the environment tomorrow.
32. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 2?
A. Getting attention. B. Losing importance.
C. Becoming fewer. D. Growing common.
33. What is the main focus of paragraph 3?
A. The value of outdoor learning.
B. The role of science in education.
C. The influence of nature on school performance.
D. The effect of outdoor activities on mental health.
34. Why does the writer mention urban students?
A. To show the lack of green spaces in cities.
B. To examine family influences on outdoor time.
C. To stress urban students’ limited access to nature.
D. To compare the experiences of urban and rural students.
35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Struggles of Urban Students B. The Need for More Green Spaces
C. The Call for Nature-loving Students D. The Power of Nature in Education

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。
Have you ever tried to learn about your ancestors (祖先)? It can feel like solving a puzzle with many missing pieces. searching through old records takes time, and you might find only one small fact after hours of work. But now, AI can help. 36
First, decide what you want to know. A clear goal helps you stay on track. 37 Second, use AI to help you plan your search. For example, if you’re looking for Laozi, you can ask an AI tool like Deepseek for a plan. It may suggest steps such as collecting what you already know, looking at birth records, and reading old newspapers.
38 It can write a short life story of an ancestor in minutes. Just give it basic facts — name, date of birth, job, and place — and let AI create a first draft. You can then improve and check it. AI can also help you learn about a town your family once lived in, including what daily life was like in the past. Another cool use is turning your notes into a fun family blog.
To use AI well, follow a simple method. Start with a clear task, such as “Write a 200-word story about my great-grandfather.” Then give correct facts, ask for a clear form, and always check the result with real sources. 39
But be careful — two problems can happen. One problem is speed: AI works fast, but its answers may be wrong. So slow down and check. Another problem is trusting AI too much. Never believe its answers without clear facts. 40 This way, your family history stays both correct and interesting.
A. AI is useful in more ways than just making plans.
B. Without one, you might get lost in too much information.
C. However, there are problems to watch out for when using AI.
D. Tools like Doubao can also add facts from the past to help your search.
E. It won’t do all the work for you, but it can make things faster and easier.
F. Always check its results against real records, such as papers from offices.
G. After checking, you can turn your work into a school project or share it online.

Chloe Dalton, a British writer, once found a lost rabbit near her home. Though she had little 41 with animals — having always wanted a pet but never getting one — she was determined to keep it.
To 42 the creature, Chloe turned to her family for advice and sought help from the Rabbit Preservation Trust’s website. 43 , she even learned a lot from 18th century poems by William Cowper, who kept rabbits himself back then. Most importantly, she chose to keep the rabbit free, never 44 it, as freedom was something she deeply valued.
This small 45 changed Chloe. Earlier on, city life had dulled her 46 , as she was often too busy to be aware of sounds, colors, and movements around her. But with the rabbit, she began to 47 its curious eyes, playful jumps, and quiet moments — tiny 48 that soon became treasured material for her writing.
When Chloe worked on her book Raising Rabbit, something 49 happened: this rabbit gave birth to two babies and left them in her study. So much of her 50 time was spent with these tiny creatures hiding nearby; their 51 became part of her story.
The book didn’t just share her story — it inspired her to do more. Now she is 52 to set up a “closed season” for not shooting rabbits in England, 53 them during breeding time (繁殖期).
All of this dates back to that simple, kind act: caring for a small creature 54 true writing, and that writing has gone on to 55 care to more people, one page at a time.

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’d never been a fan of math-numbers swam in my head like confused fish. So when Ms. Thompson walked into our 4th-grade math class, I sank into my chair, fearing another year of pain.
Ms. Thompson was different, though. She didn’t just hand out worksheets; she told stories about how math fitted into our own lives-like dividing cookies among a group or working out how many slices of pizza to split (分开) with friends. But I still struggled.
One day, she gave us a small quiz of 10 questions and I got 8 wrong. I stayed after class, my face burning. “I’m never gonna get this,” I mumbled, staring at the test paper with an “F” on it.
Ms. Thompson pulled up a chair next to me. She smiled and pointed at the two questions I’d gotten right. “See these?” she said, her voice warm. “You didn’t miss all of them. That’s a good start.” Then pointing to another question, she continued, “Last week, you worked out how much 20 pencils cost at $0.5 each. This is the same math.” She drew little pencil icons (图标) next to the numbers to help me. Suddenly, that question made sense to me.
The next thirty minutes saw her walking me through the mistakes, using “silly” real-life examples that made me laugh. Before I left, she handed me a note: “Every kid is a champion.” I carefully put it in my notebook.
We started meeting every Tuesday after class. She never pushed me, and when I messed up, she’d say, “Let’s try again! We’ll get this together.” Slowly, the numbers stopped swimming.
Then came the midterm exam. I wanted — more than anything — to prove myself. I opened my notebook to review, the one filled with those little icons Ms. Thompson had drawn. But I couldn’t concentrate. The old fear came back.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

When the math test started, I felt my hands shaking. My mind went blank, memories of the “F” quiz flashing back. But then I remembered Ms. Thompson’s note: “Every kid is a champion”. I took a deep breath and tried to focus on the first question: it was about splitting concert tickets with friends. Immediately, I drew little ticket icons beside the numbers, just as she had taught me. One by one, I connected the questions with real-life moments such as working out snack costs and dividing cookies among a group. By the time the bell rang, I had finished every question. I breathed a sigh of relief, though I wasn’t sure if I would get a high mark.
The next day, when Ms. Thompson handed back the test papers, I saw my grade — an “A”. The red “A” stood out, brighter than the sunshine. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn’t daydreaming. Ms. Thompson looked at me, a soft smile on her face. “See? I told you we would get this together,” she said, patting my shoulder. I looked at my paper and then at her, warm tears welling up in my eyes. I recalled those Tuesday afternoons, her “silly” real-life examples and the faith she had placed in me. “Thank you,” I whispered. She winked and replied, “This ‘A’ is your champion medal!” From then on, math wasn’t scary anymore. It was all because someone believed I could.
