In what would become one of her last interviews, Jane sat with a faded photograph in her hands. The image showed the baby Jane holding her first birthday gift from her father — a stuffed chimpanzee Jubilee. “My mother’s friends were horrified by this toy, thinking it would frighten me and give me nightmares,” she recalled. Instead, it led to her sense of wonder about the world and changed humankind’s understanding of animals.Her fascination with Africa began not long after she learned to read. She discovered Dr. Doolittle at eight, and Tarzan and the Apes by ten. It was then that she announced she was going to grow up, go to Africa, live with wild animals, and write books about them. This was in 1944, when World War II was raging and the idea of women as professionals “justwasn’t on the table.”London-born Jane always credited her parents — businessman Mortimer Herbert and novelist Margaret Joseph — for their support. When other children teased her unusual dream, her mother reassured her: true dreams demand tireless work, seizing opportunity, and never giving in to doubt. This firm belief became her life’s foundation. A memory from age four captures this: she had disappeared for four hours, causing considerable concern, only to be discovered sitting contentedly in the henhouse, absorbed in watching the hens and wondering where their eggs came from. Instead of scolding her, her mother saw the profound wonder in her daughter’s eyes.Her work defined her life — right up to the end. Despite her advanced age Jane traveled 300 days a year, delivering talks to students, scientists, and academics. She was on a speaking tour in the U.S. when she departed this life recently in her sleep at a hotel in Los Angeles.Tributes (颂词) flooded in from far and wide. “Jane’s work on primates and the importance of conservation opened the doors for generations of women in science,” Barack Obama said. Prince William praised her “infinite curiosity, compassion, and pioneering spirit. She challenged us all to make a difference and inspired me and countless others to work to protect our planet.”24. Why is the toy Jubilee mentioned?A. It shows the fears it created in her childhood.B. It highlights its inspiring role in her life.C. It justifies her bond with family social circle.D. It functions as her first scientific subject.25. What does “wasn’t on the table” suggest in paragraph 2?A. Wildlife study was unsuitable for women.B. Scientific practice was set under the table.C. Society could accommodate girls' ambition.D. Female scientists were less acknowledged.26. What quality did Jane get from her family education?A. Boundless curiosity and persistence.B. Strong ambition and competitiveness.C. A creative and imaginative mindset.D. A gentle and caring heart for creatures.27. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To launch a pioneering campaign.B. To introduce a promising career.C. To remember a guardian of nature.D. To awaken a passion for wildlife.

(新情景)On December 6, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York launched its AR Ancient Egyptian Art Immersive Exhibition, a project designed to let visitors “interact” with 3D-rendered relics like the Rosetta Stone replica via mobile devices. A December 2025 research brief from Museum Management and Curatorship pointed out that while global museums have rushed to adopt AR technology since 2025, few have studied how different age groups respond to such digital experiences.To fill this gap, the Met teamed up with researchers to conduct a 10-day trial from January 8 to 17. They divided 300 visitors into two groups: Group A (18–25 years old, digital natives) and Group B (60+ years old, traditional museum-goers). Each visitor was given a pre-installed AR device and asked to complete three tasks: “touch” a virtual papyrus scroll, “assemble” a broken statue, and “listen” to a simulated ancient priest’s narration. Researchers recorded their operation time, error rates, and post-visit satisfaction scores.The results showedstarkdifferences between the two groups. Group A finished all tasks in an average of 8 minutes with a 5% error rate, and 92% of them rated the experience “highly satisfying”, saying the AR feature made “dry historical facts come alive”. In contrast, Group B took an average of 22 minutes with a 41% error rate; 67% of them complained that the device’s operation steps were too complicated, and some even abandoned the tasks halfway. The biggest pain point for older visitors was the lack of voice guidance—they had to rely on text instructions that were hard to read on small screens.On January 10, 2026, the museum revised the AR system based on the feedback: it added one-click activation, voice prompts in multiple languages, and enlarged text options. A follow-up survey of 50 Group B visitors who re-experienced the exhibition found that their average task time dropped to 12 minutes, error rate fell to 12%, and satisfaction jumped to 89%. Dr. Lisa Carter, the lead researcher, noted, “Digitalization in museums shouldn’t just cater to young people. The key to success is to design inclusive experiences that bridge the tech gap between generations.”28. What is the main content of Paragraph 2?A. The purpose of the AR exhibitionB. The process of the research trialC. The problems of the AR deviceD. The results of the satisfaction survey29. What does the underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. SlightB. SubtleC. GradualD. Obvious30. What was the main difficulty for Group B visitors in the initial trial?A. They had no interest in ancient Egyptian artB. They did not get voice guidance for the deviceC. They did not know how to download the AR appD. They were not familiar with the museum’s layout31. What can we infer from Dr. Lisa Carter’s words?A. Young people are not the target audience of museum AR exhibitionsB. Inclusive digital design can help all visitors enjoy museum experiencesC. The Met’s AR exhibition will not be open to young visitors anymoreD. Traditional museum experiences are more popular than digital ones

(热点话题)Although photovoltaic (光伏电池) cells and wind turbines (涡轮机) were invented almost 150 years ago, they still generate only 7% of the world’s electricity today. This might appear to show limited progress. Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels. BP, an energy enterprise, expects renewables to account for half of the growth in global energy supply over the next 20 years. It is no longer hard to believe that the world is entering an era of clean, unlimited and cheap power, where society could rely less on polluting fossil fuels and more on sustainable energy sources.However, there is a $20 trillionhitch. In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure (基础设施), and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses.Normally investors enjoy putting their money into electricity because it brings reliable returns. Yet green energy has a dirty secret. The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable. Unless the market is fixed, subsidies (补贴) to the industry will only grow.Policymakers are beginning to see this problem as a reason to slow down the use of renewable energy. In some parts of Europe and China, investment in renewables is falling because subsidies have been reduced. However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, maintain profitability for energy providers, and contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future.32. What do we know about renewable energy according to the first paragraph?A. Its costs are still higher than fossil fuels.B. It faces no financial or market challenges.C. It generates most of the world’s electricity.D. It is growing fastest and becoming cheaper.33. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Delay.B. Problem.C. Plan.D. Advantage.34. Why does the transition to a carbon-free future become difficult?A. Green energy increases the overall cost of electricity generation.B. Falling prices make many types of power generation unprofitable.C. Investors are no longer putting their money into the electricity industry.D. Subsidies for green energy are no longer available from the government.35. How can green energy be used more effectively?A. By updating its generating technologies.B. By increasing subsidies for green energy.C. By setting reasonable prices for clean energy.D. By encouraging more investment in the market.

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。When I was seven years old, I got my first pet. At the time, my father was a doorkeeper in a school. When fall came around and the leaves began to change colors, his school held its fall carnival (嘉年华). I was so excited to take part in it. After we pulled into the parking lot, I immediately got off the car!Walking around, I was attracted by a room where there were about fifteen fishbowls and a basket full of Ping-Pong balls. There was only a high school girl in the room. She was in charge of the game. I walked up to her and whispered, “How to play this game?” “Oh. It’s easy. All you have to do is throw a Ping-Pong ball into one of the fishbowls. And if you succeed, you can get whatever goldfish in the bowl you hit,” she said.“Okay. I can do it. How much does it cost?” I said. The girl replied, “Fifteen tries for a dollar.” “A dollar? A whole dollar? Well ... it is worth it. It is only a dollar, and I have ten of them,” I thought. Then I handed the pretty girl a dollar and she gave me a basket of fifteen Ping-Pong balls. I held the first one in my hand until it was warm. Then I took aim and threw it off. At last, it hit the rim (边) of the closest fishbowl and bounced onto the floor. I was disappointed, but I had fourteen more tries.Again and again I aimed and the ball bounced but without success. I was down to my last Ping-Pong ball and my spirit was low. I held the Ping-Pong ball for nearly a full minute before I took aim. Then I closed my eyes, and tossed the ball. I stopped breathing and then opened my eyes, only to find the white ball was on the floor. I reminded myself that it was just a fish and tried to hold back the tears in my eyes.The girl took one look at me and said, “Oh, honey, please don’t cry. Here, I’ll give you an extra shot, just because you tried so hard.”注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。At last, I went to find my parents and showed them my new fish._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“Well, honey.
