After Anan d Malligavad accidentally fell into a lake, he thought he might die. Not from drowning (溺水), but the strong, unpleasant smell. Like hundreds of other lakes in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru, the one Mr. Malligavad suddenly found himself in was a container for sewage (污水) and plastic waste. His unplanned dip happened one Friday in 2017, when Mr. Malligavad, a mechanical engineer, was on a walk with friends, discussing a problem, near his company.
Walking back home, he smelled so bad that a guard refused his entry into his own office. The next day, Mr. Malligavad made an unlikely proposal to his company: He would restore the 36-acre lake if it funded the project. To his bosses at Sansera Engineering, one of the largest automotive manufacturers in India, the idea seemed foolish. That Mr. Malligavad had no knowledge of lake management made it only more unconvincing. “They laughed at me,” said Mr. Malligavad. “Everyone thought I was crazy.”
But he didn’t give up. Mr. Malligavad turned to the knowledge left behind in records from the Chola Dynasty that, starting about 1,500 years ago, ruled the surrounding Deccan Plateau for five centuries and built a self-sustaining network of irrigation lakes. After four months of studying the Chola methods — including how to trap silt (淤泥) using carved stones, which need no maintenance — he won a $100,000 corporate social responsibility fund from his company for the cleanup project. “Until I finished, they had no hope it would actually work,” he said.
In 45 days, using a dozen excavators and hundreds of workers, Mr. Malligavad removed enormous amounts of mud, waste and plastic from Kyalasanahalli Lake. He opened its blocked channels, created five islands with the excavated mud and waited for the rains.
Six months later, after the rainy season, he was boating in the clean water of the lake, surrounded by ducks and migratory (迁徙) birds, with the same friends who had helped pull him out of the once-dirty spot.
4. What does paragraph 1 say about Mr. Malligavad
A. He fell into a lake when rescuing a friend.
B. He found a lake full of plastic waste by accident.
C. He had an argument with his friend near a lake.
D. He almost got drowned while swimming in a lake.
5. Why did Mr. Malligavad study the records from the Chola Dynasty
A. To gain information about the history of the dynasty.
B. To learn some knowledge of lake management.
C. To improve his stone-carving techniques.
D. To map the whole Deccan Plateau.
6. Which words can best describe Mr. Malligavad
A. Ambitious and independent. B. Humble and innovative.
C. Enthusiastic and humorous. D. Responsible and determined.
7. What is the message delivered in the last paragraph
A. The rainy season was key to the cleanup work.
B. The lake was an important habitat for migratory birds.
C. Malligavad’s cleanup project was a complete success.
D. Malligavad was grateful to his friends who had saved him.
C
The National Archives (档案馆) needs help from people with a special set of skills - reading cursive (草书). The archival office is seeking volunteer citizen archivists to help them classify and/or transcribe (转录) more than 200 years’ worth of handwritten historical documents. Most of these are from the Independence War-period, known for rounded and flowing handwriting.
“Reading cursive is a superpower,” Suzanne Isaacs, a community manager with the National Archives Collection told USA Today. “It’s not just a matter of whether you learned cursive in school, but it’s how much you use cursive today.” Isaac s oversees over 5,000 citizen archivists that help read and transcribe some of the more than 300 million digitized objects within its collection. Volunteers can help with everything from retirement records, field notes made by geographers working on the Mason-Dixon line, to movement and population records.
Interested volunteers can sign up online, no application required. Reading cursive text can help, but it is not required for some of the records. Independence War retirement records have a “no cursive required option,” where volunteers can help label the ones that have already been transcribed’ so that it will be easier to find them.
Cursive writing was once a standard in US classrooms, with handwriting graded, but it declined with the rise of typewriters and computers. By 2010, Common Core had prioritized keyboard typing, though 14 states still require cursive instruction. In 2023, California passed a law requiring the teaching of “cursive or joined italics” from first to sixth grade, citing the importance of reading historical documents like those in the National Archives.
Brain expert Claudia Aguirre noted that cursive writing, compared to typing, activates brain pathways that support learning and language development. Research shows handwriting is better than typing for memory and learning, though the benefits are just tied to writing, and not specifically to cursive over print.
The National Archives says AI is improving when it comes to reading cursive but human help is still needed. Issues like marks, ink bleeding, and older letter forms make human editors essential for final corrections.
8. What can volunteers do to help with documents
A. Label and type. B. Study and apply.
C. Categorize and transcribe. D. Digitize and archive.
9. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. Explaining how cursive writing enhances memory.
B. Showing the decline and return of cursive writing.
C. Describing the advantages of typing over handwriting.
D. Highlighting the role of reading cursive in education.
10. What is Claudia Aguirre’s opinion about cursive writing
A. It is no match for typing at improving memory.
B. It benefits the advancement of writing skills.
C. It is more effective than typing for certain tasks.
D. It helps strengthen brain functions related to learning.
11. Why does cursive reading need human assistance as AI improves
A. People have better cursive writing skills.
B. People handle digitized objects more often.
C. AI struggles with messy and old handwriting.
D. AI has limited knowledge of historical documents.
D
A new study in Nature by last year’s Nobel winner in Chemistry reveals a possible game-changer in snakebite treatment. Researchers have created new proteins that fight the deadly poisons in snakes, potentially offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional antivenoms (抗蛇毒素).
According to the WHO, snakebites affect 1.8 million to 2.7 million people each year, causing roughly 100,000 annual deaths and three times as many permanent disabilities. Most injuries happen in less developed countries, where weak health systems aggravate the issue. Currently, the only antivenoms for snakebite are from animal plasma (血浆) and often come with high costs,limited effectiveness, and negative side effects. However, a team led by 2024 Nobel winner in Chemistry David Baker from the University of Washington School of Medicine and Timothy Patrick Jenkins from DTU (the Technical University of Denmark) used deep learning tools to design new proteins that fight poisons from deadly snakes.
The study focuses on an important class of snake proteins called three-finger poisons, which often make traditional antivenoms ineffective. While not yet protecting against full snake venom, the AI-generated antivenoms provide full protection from deadly doses of three-finger poisons in mice: 80% — 100% survival rate, depending on the exact dose, poison and designed protein.
The scientists reasoned that the new antivenoms could be produced using microbes (微生物)，avoiding traditional animal immunisation and potentially reducing production costs. But there are more advantages, explains Timothy Patrick Jenkins. “An added benefit of these designed proteins is that they are small — so small that we expect them to enter tissue better and fight the poison faster. And because the proteins were created entirely on the computer using AI-powered software, we dramatically cut the time spent in the discovery phase.”
Despite these encouraging results, the team stresses that traditional antivenoms will remain the main treatment for snakebites for the time being. The new computer-designed antivenoms could initially serve as supplements (补充) or agents that improve the effectiveness of current treatment until next-generation treatments are approved.
12. What does the underlined word “aggravate” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Worsen. B. Explain. C. Remove. D. Simplify.
13. What is the advantage of the new proteins designed by the research team
A. They can be used to detect disease in its initial phase.
B. They are effective in fighting three-finger poisons in humans.
C. They are likely to cut the costs and shorten the time of treatment.
D. They have made it possible to treat snakebites in less developed countries.
14. Why will traditional antivenoms still be the main treatment for snakebites
A. It takes time to change people’s traditional beliefs.
B. The newly-developed proteins prove less effective than expected.
C. Animal plasma used in traditional antivenoms is easier to access.
D. The new antivenoms have not been fully developed for widespread use.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Snakebites: A Global Health Crisis
B. Deep Learning Tools: Transforming Medical Research
C. Traditional Antivenoms: High Costs and Side Effects
D. New Proteins: A Promising Hope for Snakebite Treatment

Since I was seven, I have dreamed of becoming a member of the Student Union in my school. I always admired those members for taking responsibility for all of us. They gave instructions, organized school activities, and gave speeches on school issues. They were our role models.
As time went by, my desire to join the Student Union grew stronger. I longed to be the one resolving students’ concerns, offering solutions, and making a meaningful impact.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections. When I was twelve, I entered my name as a junior member and prepared my election speech. On the day of the election, each candidate delivered their speech, and then the voting began. My close friends had promised me their unwavering support, and with hopeful anticipation, I silently prayed for victory.
The next morning, we gathered on the playground as the principal prepared to announce the results. I could feel my heart pounding as I waited to hear my name, certain that my dream was just about to come true.
One by one, names were read aloud, and the crowd erupted into cheers as the girl with the highest votes walked up to the stage. I closed my eyes and waited for my name to be called. But when the last name was read, mine was not among them. My heart sank, completely broken by the hard truth. My dream was ruined, and all I wanted was to run home and cry my heart out.
That evening, I lay on my bed, crying uncontrollably and feeling as if my entire world had collapsed. But as my tears dried up and silence filled the room, I started to think more clearly. I admitted that my speech wasn’t perfect. Besides, I hadn’t made enough efforts to connect with others, nor had I made enough efforts to impress them. This thought made me realize my loss wasn’t the end of the world — it was a lesson. I wouldn’t give up. I would learn from this experience and try again, better prepared.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】My Labor Experience
Recently, our school encouraged us to complete tasks on the Labor Checklist. I chose to thoroughly clean the house.
First, I started with the living room. I carefully moved the furniture, piece by piece, to reach every hidden corner. Using a broom, I swept the floor to collect all the dust. I devoted myself to the cleanup work for the whole morning, sweeping the floor, mopping every corner, and wiping the dust of furniture. Tired as I was, I felt a sense of pride the moment I saw the spotless house.
This simple activity was really rewarding. It allowed me to contribute to family happiness and understand the joy of labor. What a meaningful and fulfilling experience!

【答案】
On reflection, I realized action speaks louder than words. I knew I had to take action to address my weaknesses. I started to care about the interests of every student and the school by joining multiple school clubs and volunteering for events, ensuring I was actively involved in group activities. Additionally, I went all out to practice public speaking, aiming to convey my ideas clearly as well as making myself confident on stage. Each day, I worked hard to prepare for the big day.
Then came my second election, and I stepped onto the stage with confidence. I took a deep breath and looked at the crowd, feeling encouragement from those familiar faces. I smiled, spoke passionately about my views and shared my genuine desire to serve the school. As I finished, the applause was louder than I had ever imagined. But still, my heart raced with nervousness as I waited for the results. When the principal finally pronounced my name, I was wild with joy! I realized all my hard work had paid off. This victory, built on effort and persistence, was finally mine.
