One rural community has developed a successful public transportation system using electric cars.
“My community is a rural farm worker community,” said Rey Leon, the mayor (市长) of Huron, California. “We are also the brownest city in the country, 98.7% Latino, and 12 languages are spoken here.
In Huron, there is no Uber, no Lyft, and no taxis. There are very few buses, and they don’t have many routes. In this widespread community, many people don’t have cars. Leon grew up here and he learned early on how frustrating a lack of transportation infrastructure (设施) can be. “My mother got cancer, and after that, she needed a lot of rides to the doctor, and when I wouldn’t be in town or I would be out of state for work, she wouldn’t sleep at night because she was so nervous that she couldn’t find a ride, and that was disturbing for me,” said Leon.
His feeling of hopelessness drove him to start a nonprofit, which is now quietly rolling around town. It’s a fleet (车队) of electric cars called the Green Raiteros. “Our mission is to provide comfortable and secure rides to medical appointment for farm worker families,” said Leon. “We’re the first electric vehicle ride-sharing program for a rural area.
It was important to go electric here because this region is an area of the country battling a problem many cities have: consistently bad air pollution. “At least we can stop the damage,” said Leon.
David Mercado heads the Green Raiteros. On any given day he’ll drive 50 to 60 miles one way to bring people to and from their doctor’s appointments.
“I really like helping the community,” said Mercado.
Most of the people Mercado helps are seniors, and many don’t speak English, so he will accompany them to their appointments if the person needs help.
4. What can we learn about people living in Huron?
A. They are losing their farmland. B. They are satisfied with their life.
C. They have few ways to get around. D. They cannot afford public transportation.
5. What caused Leon to start the Green Raiteros?
A. His occasional chance to get out of the town.
B. His mother’s growing complaints about his job.
C. His hopeless search for a cure for Mother’s cancer
D. His mother’s constant worries about how to see a doctor.
6. What do we know about the Green Raiteros?
A. It is highly profitable. B. It helps reduce air pollution.
C. It provides a lot of job opportunities. D. It is designed for senior farmworkers.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Mercado?
A. Hardworking and caring. B. Modest stand ambitious.
C. Creative and courageous. D. Humorous and outgoing.
C
As Earth’s climate has been warming, the risk of urban flooding g has grown, too. Building ponds to collect extra rainwater can restrain that flooding. But those ponds may actually add to global warming, according to a new study.
Recently, Audrey Goeckner, lead author of the new study, and her team compared the uptake and later release of carbon-based gases at five ponds, which were all in Manatee County Fla.
Along with a lab technician, Goeckner collected samples from samples from the bottoms of the ponds. The samples had mud above sandy material. Older ponds had deeper mud. Back at the lab, the research team measured the carbon-based chemicals in the samples.
In general, older ponds released less of these carbon-based chemicals into the air than younger ponds did. At the same time, “The rate that older ponds we restoring carbon in the sediment (沉积物) increased, “Goeckner says. In contrast, younger ponds seem to send out more carbon than they stored away.
“Sediment layers tend to be deeper in older ponds. They often have less oxygen available to fuel the breakdown of cells and tissues by microbes. This could slow the release of carbon-rich gases. It’s just really important to take into account how these human-made ecosystems are playing apart in the environment” Goeckner explains. Her team shared its findings in Communication Earth Environment.
This isn’t the first study to show that ponds can release greenhouse gases, notes Trisha Moore, an ecological engineer at Kansas; State University. What sets the new study apart is that it is one of the first “looking at both parts of the system” —how much carbon the ponds store and how much they release. As such, she finds, “It was just a nice example of how we need to look at a system. However, she warns, this study sampled only a small number of ponds in one state. “Future research should look at what happens in ponds where the climate and vegetation are different,” Moore says.
8. What does the underlined word “restrain” in paragraph 11 probably mean?
A. Predict. B. Explain. C. Cause D. Limit.
9. What did Goeckner’s team study?
A. How long the ponds could be formed
B. How carbon-based gases affected humans.
C. How much carbon the ponds stored and sent out
D. How human made ecosystems benefited the environment.
10. What did Goeckner’s team find out about younger ponds?
A. They had deeper mud. B. They added to global warming.
C. They stored less oxygen D. They could be used to control floods.
11. What is Moore’s attitude to Goeckner’s study?
A. Objective. B. Disappointed C. Favourable. D. Opposite.
D
Poetry and science seem like opposites. Yet, if we look through our history, we’ll see that navigating (理解) science through poetry is not a new concept. In fact, records of scientific poetry can date back to the late 1700s. English physician and naturalist Erasmus Darwin (Charles Darwin’s grandfather) used poetry to celebrate scientific discoveries and inventions in The Botanic Garden, which he published in 1791. His book was well-received in Britain and the United States. In the next few decades, many European and North American poets followed his lead.
This relationship unfortunately became weak as literature and the natural sciences gradually grew apart by the end of the 19th century. While scientific research expanded rapidly, the topics being studied also became more specialized. Experts believe that poetry — a relatively time-consuming art form — simply couldn’t keep up with the demand for more efficient science communication. All of this has led to scientific literature being gas we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists.
In recent years, there’ve been calls to explore the intersections between science and the creative arts. For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University We stem Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry. His blog reached tens of thousands of readers, and he has since extended his work to research publications.
Like many other experts, Dr. Illingworth believes that poetry can help facilitate dialogue between scientists and non-scientists, and this view is supported by studies from around the world!
As we continue to make advances in science and technology, perhaps we can also turn to poetry to help us navigate the ever-growing fountain of knowledge reported by scientists each day.
12. Why does the author mention The Botanic Garden?
A. To propose new means to combine poetry and science.
B. To explain the historical concepts of poetry and science
C. To prove poetry and science have long been integrated.
D. To show poetry and science functioned differently in history.
13. What is said about today’s scientific literature?
A. It is written in poetic language. B. It is unfriendly to non-scientists
C. It becomes a time-consuming art form. D. It contributes to the scientific research.
14. What does Dr. Illingworth use his blog to do?
A. Summarize research findings in a poem. B. Stress the influence of science on poetry.
C. Encourage scientists to share their research. D. Offer readers a platform to create poems.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Science gives new life to poetry. B. Poetry and science change our life.
C. Communicating science through poetry. D. Firing our enthusiasm for science education.

A Move to a New Life
I was shocked when my parents told me we were moving from Baton Rouge, Louisana, to New York. First, I complained about not being able to make new friends and not knowing anything about New York.
My mom said, “You’ll make new friends, and it’s not like you know anything about Baton Rouge anyway.
I protested, “But I don’t want to leave Louisiana. The weather is perfect here!”
My mom shot me a disapproving look and said, “You’ll get used to the weather in New York.”
I remember thinking about running away and joining a circus somewhere, but then I remembered that circus animals smell really bad, and I would miss my parents. So I wandered around the house pick picking up random things, like my baseball and glove, and throwing them into a cardboard box. I felt like a big, heavy rain cloud I was hanging over my head.
Within three days, all the furniture we were taking e taking with us was packed into a moving van (小型货车). Oder things were ready to be sold for nowhere near what we paid for them. Little by little our yard sale decreased until no one even looked at the well-worn coffee table, chewed-up plastic toys, and slightly damaged coffee cups—all of which I had my teeth on at one time or another
The next day was Monday, and we got up early to beat the traffic. I’ll spare you the details of how boring it was to sit in a van and watch each tree as it passed by only to see another tree getting closer until it a so passed by. Halfway there, we stopped at a motel (汽车旅馆) to spend the night. This time, no one could sleep because of the smell coming from the heater in the room. By the time we finally made it to New York, it was the middle of the night, and my head was already drooping (低垂) on to my shoulder.
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。
When I woke up, I didn’t find a smog-filled city as expected.

As I got used to this new setting, I realized that I didn’t have to be afraid of change

One rural community has developed a successful public transportation system using electric cars.
“My community is a rural farm worker community,” said Rey Leon, the mayor (市长) of Huron, California. “We are also the brownest city in the country, 98.7% Latino, and 12 languages are spoken here.
In Huron, there is no Uber, no Lyft, and no taxis. There are very few buses, and they don’t have many routes. In this widespread community, many people don’t have cars. Leon grew up here and he learned early on how frustrating a lack of transportation infrastructure (设施) can be. “My mother got cancer, and after that, she needed a lot of rides to the doctor, and when I wouldn’t be in town or I would be out of state for work, she wouldn’t sleep at night because she was so nervous that she couldn’t find a ride, and that was disturbing for me,” said Leon.
His feeling of hopelessness drove him to start a nonprofit, which is now quietly rolling around town. It’s a fleet (车队) of electric cars called the Green Raiteros. “Our mission is to provide comfortable and secure rides to medical appointment for farm worker families,” said Leon. “We’re the first electric vehicle ride-sharing program for a rural area.
It was important to go electric here because this region is an area of the country battling a problem many cities have: consistently bad air pollution. “At least we can stop the damage,” said Leon.
David Mercado heads the Green Raiteros. On any given day he’ll drive 50 to 60 miles one way to bring people to and from their doctor’s appointments.
“I really like helping the community,” said Mercado.
Most of the people Mercado helps are seniors, and many don’t speak English, so he will accompany them to their appointments if the person needs help.
4. What can we learn about people living in Huron?
A. They are losing their farmland. B. They are satisfied with their life.
C. They have few ways to get around. D. They cannot afford public transportation.
5. What caused Leon to start the Green Raiteros?
A. His occasional chance to get out of the town.
B. His mother’s growing complaints about his job.
C. His hopeless search for a cure for Mother’s cancer
D His mother’s constant worries about how to see a doctor.
6. What do we know about the Green Raiteros?
A. It is highly profitable. B. It helps reduce air pollution.
C. It provides a lot of job opportunities. D. It is designed for senior farmworkers.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Mercado?
A. Hardworking and caring. B. Modest stand ambitious.
C. Creative and courageous. D. Humorous and outgoing.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A

As Earth’s climate has been warming, the risk of urban flooding g has grown, too. Building ponds to collect extra rainwater can restrain that flooding. But those ponds may actually add to global warming, according to a new study.
Recently, Audrey Goeckner, lead author of the new study, and her team compared the uptake and later release of carbon-based gases at five ponds, which were all in Manatee County Fla.
Along with a lab technician, Goeckner collected samples from samples from the bottoms of the ponds. The samples had mud above sandy material. Older ponds had deeper mud. Back at the lab, the research team measured the carbon-based chemicals in the samples.
In general, older ponds released less of these carbon-based chemicals into the air than younger ponds did. At the same time, “The rate that older ponds we restoring carbon in the sediment (沉积物) increased, “Goeckner says. In contrast, younger ponds seem to send out more carbon than they stored away.
“Sediment layers tend to be deeper in older ponds. They often have less oxygen available to fuel the breakdown of cells and tissues by microbes. This could slow the release of carbon-rich gases. It’s just really important to take into account how these human-made ecosystems are playing apart in the environment,” Goeckner explains. Her team shared its findings in Communication Earth Environment.
This isn’t the first study to show that ponds can release greenhouse gases, notes Trisha Moore, an ecological engineer at Kansas; State University. What sets the new study apart is that it is one of the first “looking at both parts of the system” —how much carbon the ponds store and how much they release. As such, she finds, “It was just a nice example of how we need to look at a system. However, she warns, this study sampled only a small number of ponds in one state. “Future research should look at what happens in ponds where the climate and vegetation are different,” Moore says.
8. What does the underlined word “restrain” in paragraph 11 probably mean?
A. Predict. B. Explain. C. Cause D. Limit.
9. What did Goeckner’s team study?
A. How long the ponds could be formed
B. How carbon-based gases affected humans.
C. How much carbon the ponds stored and sent out
D. How human made ecosystems benefited the environment.
10. What did Goeckner’s team find out about younger ponds?
A. They had deeper mud. B. They added to global warming.
C. They stored less oxygen D. They could be used to control floods.
11. What is Moore’s attitude to Goeckner’s study?
A. Objective. B. Disappointed C. Favourable. D. Opposite.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现,人造池塘在收集雨水以缓解城市洪水风险的同时,可能加剧全球变暖。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“As Earth’s climate has been warming, the risk of urban flooding g has grown, too. (随着地球气候变暖,城市洪水的风险也在增加。)”以及划线单词前的“Building ponds to collect extra rainwater(建造池塘来收集多余的雨水)”可推测,划线单词的意思和“抑制、限制”相关,指的是洪水的风险增加,于是人们建造池塘收集雨水以抑制洪水。选项A“Predict(预测)”;选项B“Explain(解释)”;选项C“Cause(导致)”;选项D“Limit(限制)”。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Recently, Audrey Goeckner, lead author of the new study, and her team compared the uptake and later release of carbon-based gases at five ponds, which were all in Manatee County Fla.(最近,这项新研究的主要作者Audrey Goeckner和她的团队比较了佛罗里达州海牛县五个池塘对碳基气体的吸收和随后的释放。)”以及文章最后一段“What sets the new study apart is that it is one of the first “looking at both parts of the system” —how much carbon the ponds store and how much they release.(这项新研究的与众不同之处在于,它是第一次“同时观察系统的两个部分”——池塘储存了多少碳,又释放了多少碳。)”可知,Goeckner的团队研究了池塘储存和释放了多少碳。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In general, older ponds released less of these carbon-based chemicals into the air than younger ponds did. At the same time, “The rate that older ponds we restoring carbon in the sediment (沉积物) increased, “Goeckner says. In contrast, younger ponds seem to send out more carbon than they stored away.(总的来说,老池塘向空气中释放的碳基化学物质比新池塘少。与此同时,“旧池塘恢复沉积物中碳的速度增加了,”Goeckner说。相比之下,较年轻的池塘释放的碳似乎比储存的要多。)”可知,Goeckner的团队发现较年轻的池塘释放到空气中的碳基气体较多,这可能是因为它们的沉积物层较浅,微生物分解细胞和组织的过程较为活跃,导致更多的碳基气体被释放到大气中。这一发现与全球变暖有关,因为它增加了大气中的温室气体含量。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As such, she finds, “It was just a nice example of how we need to look at a system. However, she warns, this study sampled only a small number of ponds in one state. “Future research should look at what happens in ponds where the climate and vegetation are different,” Moore says.(因此,她发现,“这只是一个很好的例子,说明我们需要如何看待一个系统。然而,她警告说,这项研究只对一个州的一小部分池塘进行了采样。” Moore说:“未来的研究应该看看气候和植被不同的池塘里会发生什么。”)”可知,Moore对于Goeckner团队的研究结果,并没有表达任何批评或反对的立场,而是客观地进行了评价。故选A。
D
Poetry and science seem like opposites. Yet, if we look through our history, we’ll see that navigating (理解) science through poetry is not a new concept. In fact, records of scientific poetry can date back to the late 1700s. English physician and naturalist Erasmus Darwin (Charles Darwin’s grandfather) used poetry to celebrate scientific discoveries and inventions in The Botanic Garden, which he published in 1791. His book was well-received in Britain and the United States. In the next few decades, many European and North American poets followed his lead.
This relationship unfortunately became weak as literature and the natural sciences gradually grew apart by the end of the 19th century. While scientific research expanded rapidly, the topics being studied also became more specialized. Experts believe that poetry — a relatively time-consuming art form — simply couldn’t keep up with the demand for more efficient science communication. All of this has led to scientific literature being gas we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists.
In recent years, there’ve been calls to explore the intersections between science and the creative arts. For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University We stem Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry. His blog reached tens of thousands of readers, and he has since extended his work to research publications.
Like many other experts, Dr. Illingworth believes that poetry can help facilitate dialogue between scientists and non-scientists, and this view is supported by studies from around the world!
As we continue to make advances in science and technology, perhaps we can also turn to poetry to help us navigate the ever-growing fountain of knowledge reported by scientists each day.
12. Why does the author mention The Botanic Garden?
A. To propose new means to combine poetry and science.
B. To explain the historical concepts of poetry and science
C. To prove poetry and science have long been integrated.
D. To show poetry and science functioned differently in history.
13. What is said about today’s scientific literature?
A. It is written in poetic language. B. It is unfriendly to non-scientists
C. It becomes a time-consuming art form. D. It contributes to the scientific research.
14. What does Dr. Illingworth use his blog to do?
A. Summarize research findings in a poem. B. Stress the influence of science on poetry.
C. Encourage scientists to share their research. D. Offer readers a platform to create poems.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Science gives new life to poetry. B. Poetry and science change our life.
C. Communicating science through poetry. D. Firing our enthusiasm for science education.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了顾恺之这位历史人物的生平和成就,特别是他在绘画艺术方面的杰出贡献。文章不仅描述了顾恺之的画作和绘画技巧,还探讨了他的绘画理论和对后世的影响,展现了顾恺之作为一位艺术大师的形象。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:顾恺之是东晋杰出的画家和画论家,他的绘画和绘画理论为中国传统绘画的发展奠定了立足点。空处为形容词形式,修饰空后的名词“painting”。故填traditional。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:他在人物画中特别注意眼睛的描绘,因为他认为正是眼睛使画面栩栩如生,传达了人物的精神。空处为名词形式,构成固定短语:pay attention to,意为“注意……”。故填attention。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:他在人物画中特别注意眼睛的描绘,因为他认为正是眼睛使画面栩栩如生,传达了人物的精神。这里为从句谓语动词,根据主句时态可知,从句时态为一般过去时。故填conveyed。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:他还通过周围环境描绘了细节,展示了主体的特征。detail为可数名词,泛指顾恺之描绘的周围环境中各种细节,用复数形式。故填details。

【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:《洛神赋图》是第一部改编自文学作品的画作,生动地展现了曹植与洛神的浪漫爱情故事。修饰动词“showed”用副词形式。故填vividly。

考查介词。句意:顾恺之还对绘画理论的发展做出了巨大贡献。固定短语:make contributions to,意为“对……做出贡献”,符合句意。故填to。
【45题详解】

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
A Move to a New Life
I was shocked when my parents told me we were moving from Baton Rouge, Louisana, to New York. First, I complained about not being able to make new friends and not knowing anything about New York.
My mom said, “You’ll make new friends, and it’s not like you know anything about Baton Rouge anyway.
I protested, “But I don’t want to leave Louisiana. The weather is perfect here!”
My mom shot me a disapproving look and said, “You’ll get used to the weather in New York.”
I remember thinking about running away and joining a circus somewhere, but then I remembered that circus animals smell really bad, and I would miss my parents. So I wandered around the house pick picking up random things, like my baseball and glove, and throwing them into a cardboard box. I felt like a big, heavy rain cloud I was hanging over my head.
Within three days, all the furniture we were taking e taking with us was packed into a moving van (小型货车). Oder things were ready to be sold for nowhere near what we paid for them. Little by little our yard sale decreased until no one even looked at the well-worn coffee table, chewed-up plastic toys, and slightly damaged coffee cups—all of which I had my teeth on at one time or another
The next day was Monday, and we got up early to beat the traffic. I’ll spare you the details of how boring it was to sit in a van and watch each tree as it passed by only to see another tree getting closer until it a so passed by. Halfway there, we stopped at a motel (汽车旅馆) to spend the night. This time, no one could sleep because of the smell coming from the heater in the room. By the time we finally made it to New York, it was the middle of the night, and my head was already drooping (低垂) on to my shoulder.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When I woke up, I didn’t find a smog-filled city as expected. Instead, I was met with a clear sky and the soft sounds of morning in New York. The city seemed to be waking up with a gentle hum, not the chaotic rush I had imagined. I could see people walking their dogs, joggers in the park, and the first light of day reflecting off the windows of tall buildings. It was a peaceful start to what I had feared would be a daunting day.
As I got used to this new setting, I realized that I didn’t have to be afraid of change. The city, with its energy and diversity, offered endless opportunities to explore and grow. I began to make friends with classmates who came from different backgrounds, each bringing something unique to our conversations. The change that once seemed so daunting now felt like a chance to broaden my horizons. I started to enjoy the new experiences, from trying different foods to visiting places I had only read about. New York was teaching me to embrace change, and I was learning to love it.
