The Himalayan mountains are increasingly filled with mounting waste left by mountaineering activities over the years. There is no official data, but Nepal’s Department of Tourism estimates(估计)that on Qomolangma alone, there is nearly 140,000 tons of waste.
Now some of that material is finding its way to local craftswomen(女工艺师), thanks to a new plan led by Shilshila Acharya. Acharya owns Avni Center for Sustainability, a waste processing business in Kathmandu. She has been working with the cleaning activity since 2019, targeting mountains such as Qomolangma, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Ama Dablam and Annapurna.
“Metals go through the recycling(回收利用)process, but we were not able to find a way to recycle these ropes and small cooking gas cans,” she says. It occurred to her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai at an event that a solution was born. Rai, helped connect Acharya with Sunita Chaudhary and her team of Tharu craftswomen in the hope of turning the mountain waste into economic opportunity.
“People like me, who are far from the mountains but belong to the local Tharu community, are using our traditional skills to change this waste into something entirely new,” Chaudhary says.
Finished crafts are sold at craft exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell, earning an average of 400 Nepali Rupees per half-day’s work. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they keep their household responsibilities.
4. What is the trouble for the Himalayan mountains according to paragraph 1?
A. No true data about waste. B. Tons of mounting waste.
C. Mountaineering activities. D. Lack of funds for environment.
5. What made Acharya know how to reuse the non-recyclable waste?
A. The recycling process. B. Meeting Rai at an event.
C. A cleaning activity in 2019. D. A visit to Chaudhary’s house.
6. How do the Tharu craftswomen benefit from the project?
A. They learn new skills. B. They receive fixed pay.
C. They sell crafts at exhibitions. D. They explore the Himalayan mountains.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?

B. Exploring Traditional Skills of Local Craftswomen
C. Crafting Economic Opportunities from Mountain Waste
D. Promoting Tourism in Kathmandu
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。喜马拉雅山脉因攀登者的登山活动产生了很多废弃物。后来, Shilshila Acharya 想出了一个解决方案:将一些废弃物转交给当地的女工艺师,通过她们的传统技能将其转化为手工艺品。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Himalayan mountains are increasingly filled with mounting waste left by mountaineering activities over the years.”(喜马拉雅山区的垃圾问题日益严重,这些垃圾是多年来登山活动留下的。)可推知,喜马拉雅山的问题是大量的垃圾。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It occurred to her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai at an event that a solution was born.”(她意识到这些不可回收的垃圾可以被再利用,但直到她在一个活动中遇到Maya Rai,解决方案才诞生。)可推知,Acharya是在一个活动中遇到Rai后,才知道如何再利用这些不可回收的垃圾的。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Finished crafts are sold at craft exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell, earning an average of 400 Nepali Rupees per half-day’s work.”(成品工艺品在工艺品展览会上出售。这些女工匠的工资是根据她们制作和销售的物品数量来计算的,平均每半天的工资是400尼泊尔卢比。)可推知,Tharu工艺女性通过这个项目在展览会上销售工艺品从而获益。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了喜马拉雅山脉因攀登者的登山活动产生了很多废弃物。后来, Shilshila Acharya 想出了一个解决方案:将一些废弃物转交给当地的女工艺师,通过她们的传统技能将其转化为手工艺品。该方案将废弃物转化成了带来经济收入的机会。因此推断C项“从山区废弃物中创造经济机会”为最佳标题,概况主旨。故选C。

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze(分析) animal sounds—as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal.
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.”
“Why would a bat want to speak to you?” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other.“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者).
Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Gašper Beguš, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it.
When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. We can tell the complex animal behavior.
B. We will find ways to talk with animals.
C. We can share our language with animals.
D. We need conduct more research on animals.
9. Bakker thinks that understanding animals’ language fully is ______.
A. difficult. B. costly. C. harmful. D. worthless.
10. How can we protect the animals effectively according to Paragraph 3?
A. By learning about their needs. B. By setting up shelters for them.
C. By mapping out their locations. D. By living peacefully with them.
11. Which statement does Herzing probably agree with?
A. Animals’ culture should be given up.
B. Saving nature means saving ourselves.
C. Short-term and long-term goals need to be set.
D. Animals should be in a healthy natural world.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能可能会找到人类与动物交谈的方法。但是专家表示我们应该了解动物的需求来有效地保护动物。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. (有一天我们将能够使用AI构建一个聊天框,将复杂的动物声音翻译成人类语言。)”可知,从第一段我们可以推断出我们将找到与动物交谈的方法。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“I could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term (人工智能最终可能会让我们了解动物,但这是很难处理和长期的)”可知,Bakke认为完全理解动物的语言是很难的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them (我们应该倾听大自然的声音,询问动物的需求,以便更好地保护它们)”可知,我们通过了解他们的需求来有效地保护动物。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well (海洋生物学家Denise Herzing表示,动物应该有一个健康的环境,这样它们的文化才能健康发展)”可知,Herzing认为动物应该生活在健康的自然世界里。故选D。
D
Dr. Janet S. Choi, a doctor at Keck Medicine of USC, wanted to know whether recovering hearing with hearing aids (辅助设备) may increase the chances of living longer.
“The group of patients who are using hearing aids regularly have a 24% lower risk of death compared to the group who never use hearing aids,” says Choi. The findings do not prove that it’s the hearing aids that lead to longer life. It could be that people who use hearing aids regularly are also more likely to put off isolation (孤独), remain more active in socializing with other people or have reduced risk of falls, which could explain why people who never use hearing aids likely die more prematurely than those who use them regularly. The effect holds up even when the researchers consider differences such as age, ethnicity, education and medical history.
Choi knows from personal experience the difference hearing aids can make. She was born with hearing loss in one ear. And for years she says she resisted the idea of wearing hearing aids, given that her hearing was very good in one ear. But when she became a surgeon, she realized she was missing out. Now she uses hearing aids regularly.
There can be several limits to recovering from hearing, including the cost of examining and the cost of hearing aids. But the technologies have improved and there are more affordable choices compared to several years ago. Still, some people avoid wearing them due to shame or the annoyance of getting used to them.
So, if you have hearing aids sitting in the back of a drawer, not being used, Choi says, try them again. She recommends new users wear their hearing aids every day for 30 ongoing days to get used to them.
12. What did the study find about patients often wearing hearing aids?
A. They are at risk of more falls.
B. They more possibly hate isolation.
C. They usually have good medical history.
D. They are more likely to communicate with others.
13. What does the underlined word “prematurely” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Early. B. Unexpectedly. C. Unhappily. D. Suddenly.
14. Why did Choi mention her personal experience?
A. To list an unusual example.
B. To state some pleasant scenes.
C. To pity people with hearing loss.
D. To prove the benefit of using hearing aids.
15. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?
A. The high cost of hearing aids.
B. The process of examining hearing.
C. The rules of protecting hearing aids.
D. The troubles of recovering from hearing.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了Dr. Janet S. Choi的研究发现,经常使用助听器的患者相比于从不使用助听器的患者,其死亡风险降低了24%。文章还提到了助听器的使用可能带来的问题和建议。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The group of patients who are using hearing aids regularly have a 24% lower risk of death compared to the group who never use hearing aids,” says Choi. It could be that people who use hearing aids regularly are also more likely to put off isolation(孤独), remain more active in socializing with other people or have reduced risk of falls, which could explain why people who never use hearing aids likely die more prematurely than those who use them regularly.”(Choi说,经常使用助听器的患者群体相比于从不使用助听器的患者群体,其死亡风险降低了24%。可能是因为经常使用助听器的人更可能避免孤独,更活跃地与他人社交,或者跌倒的风险降低,这可能解释了为什么从不使用助听器的人比经常使用的人更可能早死。)可推知,经常使用助听器的患者更可能与他人交流。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“It could be that people who use hearing aids regularly are also more likely to put off isolation(孤独), remain more active in socializing with other people or have reduced risk of falls,”(可能是经常使用助听器的人也更有可能推迟隔离,更积极地与他人交往,或者降低跌倒的风险,)可知,这可能解释了为什么从不使用听力辅助设备的人比经常使用的人更可能早死。)可知,prematurely在此处意为“早”,故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Choi knows from personal experience the difference hearing aids can make. She was born with hearing loss in one ear. And for years she says she resisted the idea of wearing hearing aids, given that her hearing was very good in one ear. But when she became a surgeon, she realized she was missing out. Now she uses hearing aids regularly.”(Choi从个人经验中知道听力辅助设备可以带来的差异。她一生下来就有一只耳朵听力受损。多年来,她一直抵制佩戴听力辅助设备的想法,因为她的另一只耳朵的听力非常好。但当她成为一名外科医生时,她意识到她错过了什么。现在她经常使用听力辅助设备。)可知,Choi提到她的个人经验是为了证明使用听力辅助设备的好处。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“There can be several limits to recovering from hearing, including the cost of examining and the cost of hearing aids. But the technologies have improved and there are more affordable choices compared to several years ago. Still, some people avoid wearing them due to shame or the annoyance of getting used to them.”( 听力恢复可能有几个限制,包括检查的费用和助听器的费用。但与几年前相比,技术已经进步,有了更多负担得起的选择。尽管如此,有些人还是因为羞耻或习惯它们的烦恼而避免戴它们。)可知,第四段主要关于听力恢复的麻烦。故选D。

47. 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。
In a small Chinese village, a young girl named Mei lived with a deep love for painting. Her artworks, filled with lively colors, caught the beauty of her surroundings. Despite her talent, Mei often battled with self-doubt. She wondered if her skills were truly excellent or if she was just fortunate.
One day, Mei heard about a painting contest in the town called the “Sunlit Art Challenge”. Determined to prove herself and remove the doubts, Mei quickly signed up for it. The contest stirred a mix of excitement and nervousness in her. Mei spent countless hours perfecting her painting technique, pouring her heart and soul into her works.
For the contest, Mei painted a beautiful sunrise over the sea. The sun just started to rise above the horizon (地平线), its bright light beginning to shine over the ocean. The sun’s rays looked like golden light, spreading across the water and making it shine like a giant mirror. As the sun rose higher, it looked like a bright ball of fire, warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly. The sky changed colors too, from a soft blue to bright oranges, pinks and reds. It was like watching the day begin right there on her canvas (画布). Mei s painting captured the peaceful yet lively scene of the sun’s first rays touching the vast ocean, symbolizing hope.
On the day of the contest, the village square was filled with excitement. Artists from near and far displayed their works. Mei set up her painting, feeling both proud and anxious. As the judges evaluated (评估) Mei’s painting, her heart raced with nervousness. Since their expressions were hard to read, Mei felt like her doubts were right, that she wasn’t as good as she hoped.
When the host started to announce the winners, Mei listened with hope and curiosity. But sadly her name wasn’t called. Disappointment washed over her, and she forced a smile, applauding (鼓掌) the winners. After the contest, Mei felt disheartened. She thought her painting had failed to impress anyone, and she lost her motivation to lift her brush. At that time, Mr. Zhang, a villager, approached Mei.
注意:

Mr. Zhang’s recognition of Mei’s works renewed Mei’s interest in painting.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mr. Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved him. With tears in his eyes, he told her how her painting of the sunrise had profoundly touched him. Mr. Zhang explained that he had been going through a tough time and that Mei’s painting reminded him of the beauty and hope in the world. He described how the warm colors and the image of the sun rising over the ocean gave him a sense of peace and comfort. Mr. Zhang’s words made Mei realize that her works had a significant impact, reaching beyond just winning contests.
Mr. Zhang’s recognition of Mei’s works renewed Mei’s interest in painting. She started to see her art not just as a means to achieve personal recognition, but as a tool for healing and bringing joy to others. Mei began to paint with a new purpose, creating artworks that depicted scenes of hope and beauty. Her art soon became a source of warmth and inspiration in her community. Through her journey, Mei discovered the true essence of her art. It was not just about creating beautiful scenes on canvas, but about touching hearts and warming souls.

The Himalayan mountains are increasingly filled with mounting waste left by mountaineering activities over the years. There is no official data, but Nepal’s Department of Tourism estimates(估计)that on Qomolangma alone, there is nearly 140,000 tons of waste.
Now some of that material is finding its way to local craftswomen(女工艺师), thanks to a new plan led by Shilshila Acharya. Acharya owns Avni Center for Sustainability, a waste processing business in Kathmandu. She has been working with the cleaning activity since 2019, targeting mountains such as Qomolangma, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Ama Dablam and Annapurna.
“Metals go through the recycling(回收利用)process, but we were not able to find a way to recycle these ropes and small cooking gas cans,” she says. It occurred to her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai at an event that a solution was born. Rai, helped connect Acharya with Sunita Chaudhary and her team of Tharu craftswomen in the hope of turning the mountain waste into economic opportunity.
“People like me, who are far from the mountains but belong to the local Tharu community, are using our traditional skills to change this waste into something entirely new,” Chaudhary says.
Finished crafts are sold at craft exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell, earning an average of 400 Nepali Rupees per half-day’s work. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they keep their household responsibilities.
4. What is the trouble for the Himalayan mountains according to paragraph 1?
A. No true data about waste. B. Tons of mounting waste.
C. Mountaineering activities. D. Lack of funds for environment.
5. What made Acharya know how to reuse the non-recyclable waste?
A. The recycling process. B. Meeting Rai at an event.
C. A cleaning activity in 2019. D. A visit to Chaudhary’s house.
6. How do the Tharu craftswomen benefit from the project?
A. They learn new skills. B. They receive fixed pay.
C. They sell crafts at exhibitions. D. They explore the Himalayan mountains.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Mountaineering Adventures in the Himalayas
B. Exploring Traditional Skills of Local Craftswomen
C. Crafting Economic Opportunities from Mountain Waste
D. Promoting Tourism in Kathmandu

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze(分析) animal sounds—as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal.
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.”
“Why would a bat want to speak to you?” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other.“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者).
Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Gašper Beguš, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it.
When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well.
8 What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. We can tell the complex animal behavior.
B. We will find ways to talk with animals.
C. We can share our language with animals.
D. We need conduct more research on animals.
9. Bakker thinks that understanding animals’ language fully is ______.
A. difficult. B. costly. C. harmful. D. worthless.
10. How can we protect the animals effectively according to Paragraph 3?
A. By learning about their needs. B. By setting up shelters for them.
C. By mapping out their locations. D. By living peacefully with them.
11. Which statement does Herzing probably agree with?
A. Animals’ culture should be given up.
B. Saving nature means saving ourselves.
C. Short-term and long-term goals need to be set.
D. Animals should be in a healthy natural world.

Dr. Janet S. Choi, a doctor at Keck Medicine of USC, wanted to know whether recovering hearing with hearing aids (辅助设备) may increase the chances of living longer.
“The group of patients who are using hearing aids regularly have a 24% lower risk of death compared to the group who never use hearing aids,” says Choi. The findings do not prove that it’s the hearing aids that lead to longer life. It could be that people who use hearing aids regularly are also more likely to put off isolation (孤独), remain more active in socializing with other people or have reduced risk of falls, which could explain why people who never use hearing aids likely die more prematurely than those who use them regularly. The effect holds up even when the researchers consider differences such as age, ethnicity, education and medical history.
Choi knows from personal experience the difference hearing aids can make. She was born with hearing loss in one ear. And for years she says she resisted the idea of wearing hearing aids, given that her hearing was very good in one ear. But when she became a surgeon, she realized she was missing out. Now she uses hearing aids regularly.

In a small Chinese village, a young girl named Mei lived with a deep love for painting. Her artworks, filled with lively colors, caught the beauty of her surroundings. Despite her talent, Mei often battled with self-doubt. She wondered if her skills were truly excellent or if she was just fortunate.
One day, Mei heard about a painting contest in the town called the “Sunlit Art Challenge”. Determined to prove herself and remove the doubts, Mei quickly signed up for it. The contest stirred a mix of excitement and nervousness in her. Mei spent countless hours perfecting her painting technique, pouring her heart and soul into her works.
For the contest, Mei painted a beautiful sunrise over the sea. The sun just started to rise above the horizon (地平线), its bright light beginning to shine over the ocean. The sun’s rays looked like golden light, spreading across the water and making it shine like a giant mirror. As the sun rose higher, it looked like a bright ball of fire, warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly. The sky changed colors too, from a soft blue to bright oranges, pinks and reds. It was like watching the day begin right there on her canvas (画布). Mei s painting captured the peaceful yet lively scene of the sun’s first rays touching the vast ocean, symbolizing hope.
On the day of the contest, the village square was filled with excitement. Artists from near and far displayed their works. Mei set up her painting, feeling both proud and anxious. As the judges evaluated (评估) Mei’s painting, her heart raced with nervousness. Since their expressions were hard to read, Mei felt like her doubts were right, that she wasn’t as good as she hoped.
When the host started to announce the winners, Mei listened with hope and curiosity. But sadly her name wasn’t called. Disappointment washed over her, and she forced a smile, applauding (鼓掌) the winners. After the contest, Mei felt disheartened. She thought her painting had failed to impress anyone, and she lost her motivation to lift her brush. At that time, Mr. Zhang, a villager, approached Mei.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mr. Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved him.
