B In his little house Jase was writing a letter to Santa weeks before Christmas. “Dear Santa, Could you give me superpowers this year? Then I can be a superhero and save lives. I can be a firefighter! Please realise my wish!” Weeks later, it was finally Christmas. When he ran down the stairs, he saw lots of parcels under a tall Christmas tree in the living room. He stopped dead before the tree, looking for his present. “A fire truck!” he shouted loudly. “Santa gave me superpowers! I’ll become a firefighter!” Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter. He was so happy that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. That evening, he couldn’t sleep. He took his truck down to the living room and drove it around. Suddenly, he felt something strange. When he turned around, he saw smoke from the Christmas tree. His parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree’s back and the curtains on fire. The fire was spreading fast. “Mom! Dad! There’s a fire in our house!” he shouted as he rushed upstairs and woke up his sisters. Milly woke up and ran downstairs with him, but Rosie was asleep, so he carried her in his arms. He then put his sisters in the truck and rushed to his parents’ room. “What’s wrong, Jase?” his mom asked. “Wait, what’s that smoke?” “There’s a fire!” Jase shouted. The couple took the kids and rushed out of the house. They called 911, and firefighters arrived on the scene. Because the space was small, the whole house was in flames (火焰) in no time. One of the firefighters patted Jase’s shoulder and said, “Good job!” Jase smiled and said, “Thank you, sir. Not all heroes wear capes (斗篷)! I will become a real superhero like you someday.” And today, Jase has helped several families from such events, and he’s indeed a superhero, a firefighter. 24. What did Jase want for Christmas gift? A. A new cape. B. A toy truck. C. Superpowers. D. Gifts from firefighters. 25. What action did Jase take upon seeing the fire? A. He called 911. B. He ran out of the house. C.

Honest and quick-thinking. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. D. Everything comes to those who wait. C Some environmentalists claim that attempts to create a recycling economy for plastics are sure to fail, but the arguments can be not true. In 1980, Disney World in Orlando. Florida, started to work on a new way to generate power for the theme park, cutting its use of oil, the price of which had increased. The Solid Waste Energy Conversion Plant took rubbish, including plastic, and used a method called pyrolysis (热解) to turn it into burnable gases. It opened in 1982, but closed a year later, as the cost of running it went up. Today, environmentalists are mentioning the Disney story to damage the reputation of a set of new technologies, well known as advanced recycling, which take plastic waste and turn it back into brand new plastic. Their argument is false. The failure of Disney’s plant had more to do with a later fall in oil prices than technological or environmental problems. Pyrolysis has improved a lot since the 1980s. And in any case, Disney’s plant was designed to produce fuel, which isn’t classed as advanced recycling. As we report “the incredible new tech that can recycle all plastics forever” advanced recycling is a game changer that could help to solve the global plastics crisis. It has the possibility to take millions of tonnes of thrown-away plastic, most of which ends up in landfill or the environment, and turn it back into a clean, fresh version by breaking it down to its molecular constituents (分子成分). The goal is a recycling economy. In this case, there is no longer any need to make “virgin” plastic from oil. It isn’t a magic recipe. There are problems around such plants generating toxic (有毒的) waste, their energy use and the continuation of traditional plastics ahead of newer, greener alternatives (替代物). Environmentalists are right to argue that we would be better off gradually getting rid of plastics altogether. But practical considerations mean they aren’t going away any time soon, and most advanced recycling technologies are better for the environment than the alternatives. There is a serious discussion to be had around advanced recycling, not least whether it should be factored into an upcoming global agreement on plastic pollution. Let’s just make sure it is based on the facts, not Disney stories. 28. As for refusing the new tech with the Disney story the author is . A. worried B. disapproving C. uncertain D. unconcerned 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Plastics would be soon stopped using. B. Plants with new tech don’t produce toxic waste. C. The new tech features recycling all plastics. D. Disney’s plant turned plastic waste into new plastic. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To argue for advanced recycling. B. To stress benefits of reducing plastics. C. To present failure of recycling economy. D. To discuss the problems of reusing waste. D What Is A Sand Battery? Generally, when one pictures a battery, one imagines the lithium battery (锂电池) in various high-tech forms. Yet in 2022, Polar Night Energy launched the world’s first commercial sand battery, capable of storing 500-600℃ in heat energy for months. With the environmental concern of mining for lithium batteries, investors and companies are looking for alternatives, and sand batteries are one of them. The concept for a sand battery is simple: storing large amounts of heat in sand or sand-like materials for later use. The advantage of sand is its ability to store large amounts of heat in a small volume, its large quantity, and its low cost. Sand batteries serve as storage for spare wind and solar power and extra energy when demand is low. They can provide heated water as well as heated air to homes and industries that would otherwise use fossil fuels. The heat can also be changed back to electricity using a steam turbine (蒸气涡轮). This technique dates back centuries. Ancient Egyptian homes were made of sand mixed with mud and straw that would keep the heat of the hot desert sun and then release it slowly during the cool nights. Many native Americans used mud to build houses for the same reason. They would also store heat from campfires in rocks wrapped (包裹) in leather skin and use these rocks for heating their beds at night. This ancient wisdom can now be applied to modern solutions through sand batteries. Now, Polar Night Energy, working with the heating company Lovisan Lämpð, will launch a sand battery 10 times the size and capable of storing up to100megawatts hour of heat. This battery will eliminate the need for oil-based energy for the entire town of Pornainen, Finland, and keep 160 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere annually. According to the Washington Post, more than $900 million has been invested in clean storage technologies in the past three years, a number that is expected to reach $3 trillion by 2040. This money is being directed towards various small companies that are investigating natural batteries. There are challenges to overcome before this technology can be adopted widely. It remains to be seen whether natural batteries can be a steady source of energy. Furthermore, because it’s an emerging industry, natural battery projects will need to be built from scratch, meaning only developed countries can afford to use them. Despite this, sand and other natural battery solutions are an exciting step forward towards a green future. 31. The idea of sand batteries is ________. A. to process fossil fuels for industries B. to change solar energy into electricity C. to store energy in special materials as heat D. to generate wind energy when it is necessary 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The advantages of sand batteries. B. The inspiration of sand batteries. C. The application of sand batteries. D. The development of sand batteries. 33. What does the word “eliminate” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Meet. B. Remove. C. Create. D. Ignore. 34. What can we learn about sand batteries? A. They are a high-tech form of lithium battery. B They can be widely used across the world soon. C. They are a steady source of energy for a green future. D. They can provide heat and power for homes or industries. 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2分,共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With the rise of language apps, learning a new language is perhaps more popular than ever. There is no doubt that language learning apps have benefits as a supplement (补充) to formal education. ___35___ Here are some underrated ways to learn a new language. One of the most common advice for language learners is to consume films and shows in the language they are learning. In fact, they don’t help a new learner to follow. ___36___ The cartoons are often made up of basic phrases and words that one would learn at a primary level. Plus, cartoons usually come with clearer and slower pronunciation, which will help learners adapt to understanding without subtitles. ___37___ There is another choice: listening to podcasts and songs in the language you are trying to master. Not only can you pick up idioms, but you can also explore various topics to enlarge your vocabulary and understand differences within various contexts. Being exposed to the rhythm of native speakers will also help your learning, and you can achieve all of this while developing a fondness for the culture. When practising speaking, one runs the risk of making mistakes or embarrassing oneself when attempting to practise in public or with a native speaker. So, instead, start small. Speak to your pet or an inanimate object around the house. ___38___ The goal is to get used to sounding the letters. producing the accent and getting the words out. Another creative method to put your writing skills to test is to keep a pen pal. Ideally, find someone who is not only fluent in the language you are learning, but who is also learning a language you are fluent in. Through the exchange of letters, you not only get to practise your writing skills but can also provide feedback to each other. ___39___ A. Tell them about your day or describe how you feel. B. If watching cartoons is not your cup of tea, fear not. C. Plus, everyone gets a friend through a foreign stamp. D. So can foreign speakers gain fluency within weeks or months? E. Understanding of the films and shows depends heavily on subtitles. F. Instead, a step down the ladder would be to watch children’s cartoons. G. But it is unrealistic to expect master y of a new tongue simply through their use. 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分, 第42题3分, 第43题5分, 共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms, creating a future where education is more personalized and dynamic. AI’s ability to customize (订制) learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn. making education more effective and engaging. Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. Learning platforms with AI can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, increasing engagement and understanding. Dream Box Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving. However, there’s an obvious concern coming up alongside these advancements—the AI divide or the growing gap between those who use AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have used Al-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced ones. The conversation around AI in education isn’t just about technology; it’s about fairness and opportunity. This could impact not only their academic performance but also their future college admissions and job prospects, suggests a2021 study by Georgetown University which found that AI skills are becoming increasingly sought after by employers. Addressing the AI divide requires a joint effort. Policymakers have the power to level the field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Educators must train their students to use AI as a tool. AI in education is a double-edged sword, with the promise of changed learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we embrace AI’s potential, we must also ensure it serves as a tool for, not exclusion, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed. 40. What future will AI create in education? ______________________________________________ 41. What is Al divide? ______________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The AI divide in education is related to technology and it couldn’t impact fairness and opportunity. ______________________________________________ 43. Explain how you will use AI technology as a tool in your learning.

In 1980, Disney World in Orlando. Florida, started to work on a new way to generate power for the theme park, cutting its use of oil, the price of which had increased. The Solid Waste Energy Conversion Plant took rubbish, including plastic, and used a method called pyrolysis (热解) to turn it into burnable gases. It opened in 1982, but closed a year later, as the cost of running it went up. Today, environmentalists are mentioning the Disney story to damage the reputation of a set of new technologies, well known as advanced recycling, which take plastic waste and turn it back into brand new plastic. Their argument is false. The failure of Disney’s plant had more to do with a later fall in oil prices than technological or environmental problems. Pyrolysis has improved a lot since the 1980s. And in any case, Disney’s plant was designed to produce fuel, which isn’t classed as advanced recycling. As we report “the incredible new tech that can recycle all plastics forever”, advanced recycling is a game changer that could help to solve the global plastics crisis. It has the possibility to take millions of tonnes of thrown-away plastic, most of which ends up in landfill or the environment, and turn it back into a clean, fresh version by breaking it down to its molecular constituents (分子成分). The goal is a recycling economy. In this case, there is no longer any need to make “virgin” plastic from oil. It isn’t a magic recipe. There are problems around such plants generating toxic (有毒的) waste, their energy use and the continuation of traditional plastics ahead of newer, greener alternatives (替代物). Environmentalists are right to argue that we would be better off gradually getting rid of plastics altogether. But practical considerations mean they aren’t going away any time soon, and most advanced recycling technologies are better for the environment than the alternatives. There is a serious discussion to be had around advanced recycling, not least whether it should be factored into an upcoming global agreement on plastic pollution. Let’s just make sure it is based on the facts, not Disney stories. 28. As for refusing the new tech with the Disney story, the author is . A. worried B. disapproving C. uncertain D. unconcerned 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Plastics would be soon stopped using. B. Plants with new tech don’t produce toxic waste. C. The new tech features recycling all plastics. D. Disney’s plant turned plastic waste into new plastic. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To argue for advanced recycling. B. To stress benefits of reducing plastics. C. To present failure of recycling economy. D. To discuss the problems of reusing waste. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章的主旨是支持先进塑料回收技术并强调其在解决全球塑料危机方面的重要性。作者指出先进塑料回收技术有可能将大量被丢弃的塑料废物转化为全新、清洁的塑料，并探讨了这一技术的环境益处。文章还提及了对环境的影响和未来发展方向，最终呼吁基于事实进行关于先进塑料回收技术的讨论。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Today, environmentalists are mentioning the Disney story to damage the reputation of a set of new technologies, well known as advanced recycling, which take plastic waste and turn it back into brand new plastic.( 今天，环保人士提到迪士尼的故事，试图败坏一套出名的先进回收的新技术的声誉，该技术将塑料废物转化为全新的塑料)” 和第四段中“Their argument is false.( 他们的论点是错误的)”可推知，文章中提到环保主义者引用迪士尼故事来破坏新技术的声誉，作者指出这种论点是错误的，表明作者对拒绝新技术是持不赞同的态度。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“As we report “the incredible new tech that can recycle all plastics forever”, advanced recycling is a game changer that could help to solve the global plastics crisis. It has the possibility to take millions of tonnes of thrown-away plastic, most of which ends up in landfill or the environment, and turn it back into a clean, fresh version(正如我们报道的“可以永远循环利用所有塑料的令人难以置信的新技术”，先进回收是一个能够有助于解决全球塑料危机的游戏变革。它有可能将数百万吨被丢弃的塑料，其中大部分最终被填埋或污染环境，转化为干净、全新的塑料版本) ”可知，本文章中提到新技术有可能将数百万吨被丢弃的塑料废物转化为全新的、干净的版本，这意味着新技术可以回收所有的塑料。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文并结合第四段中“As we report “the incredible new tech that can recycle all plastics forever”, advanced recycling is a game changer that could help to solve the global plastics crisis. It has the possibility to take millions of tonnes of thrown-away plastic, most of which ends up in landfill or the environment, and turn it back into a clean, fresh version by breaking it down to its molecular constituents (分子成分). The goal is a recycling economy. In this case, there is no longer any need to make “virgin” plastic from oil.(正如我们报道的“不可思议的新技术，可以永远回收所有塑料”，先进的回收是一个游戏规则改变者，可以帮助解决全球塑料危机。它有可能将数百万吨的废弃塑料(其中大部分最终被填埋或丢弃在环境中)分解成分子成分，将其转化为干净、新鲜的塑料。目标是循环经济。在这种情况下，不再需要从石油中制造“原始”塑料)”可知，文章主要论证先进回收技术有望解决全球塑料危机，并探讨了先进回收技术的重要性和环境益处，因此文章主张采用先进回收技术。故选A项。 D What Is A Sand Battery? Generally, when one pictures a battery, one imagines the lithium battery (锂电池) in various high-tech forms. Yet in 2022, Polar Night Energy launched the world’s first commercial sand battery, capable of storing 500-600℃ in heat energy for months. With the environmental concern of mining for lithium batteries, investors and companies are looking for alternatives, and sand batteries are one of them. The concept for a sand battery is simple: storing large amounts of heat in sand or sand-like materials for later use. The advantage of sand is its ability to store large amounts of heat in a small volume, its large quantity, and its low cost. Sand batteries serve as storage for spare wind and solar power and extra energy when demand is low. They can provide heated water as well as heated air to homes and industries that would otherwise use fossil fuels. The heat can also be changed back to electricity using a steam turbine (蒸气涡轮). This technique dates back centuries. Ancient Egyptian homes were made of sand mixed with mud and straw that would keep the heat of the hot desert sun and then release it slowly during the cool nights. Many native Americans used mud to build houses for the same reason. They would also store heat from campfires in rocks wrapped (包裹) in leather skin and use these rocks for heating their beds at night. This ancient wisdom can now be applied to modern solutions through sand batteries. Now, Polar Night Energy, working with the heating company Lovisan Lämpð, will launch a sand battery 10 times the size and capable of storing up to100megawatts hour of heat. This battery will eliminate the need for oil-based energy for the entire town of Pornainen, Finland, and keep 160 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere annually. According to the Washington Post, more than $900 million has been invested in clean storage technologies in the past three years, a number that is expected to reach $3 trillion by 2040. This money is being directed towards various small companies that are investigating natural batteries. There are challenges to overcome before this technology can be adopted widely. It remains to be seen whether natural batteries can be a steady source of energy. Furthermore, because it’s an emerging industry, natural battery projects will need to be built from scratch, meaning only developed countries can afford to use them. Despite this, sand and other natural battery solutions are an exciting step forward towards a green future. 31. The idea of sand batteries is ________. A. to process fossil fuels for industries B. to change solar energy into electricity C. to store energy in special materials as heat D. to generate wind energy when it is necessary 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The advantages of sand batteries. B. The inspiration of sand batteries. C. The application of sand batteries. D. The development of sand batteries. 33. What does the word “eliminate” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Meet. B. Remove. C. Create. D. Ignore. 34. What can we learn about sand batteries? A. They are a high-tech form of lithium battery. B. They can be widely used across the world soon. C. They are a steady source of energy for a green future. D. They can provide heat and power for homes or industries. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. B 34.

Ancient Egyptian homes were made of sand mixed with mud and straw that would keep the heat of the hot desert sun and then release it slowly during the cool nights. Many native Americans used mud to build houses for the same reason. They would also store heat from campfires in rocks wrapped (包裹) in leather skin and use these rocks for heating their beds at night. This ancient wisdom can now be applied to modern solutions through sand batteries.(这种技术可以追溯到几个世纪以前。古埃及人的房子是用沙子、泥土和稻草混合而成的，这样可以抵挡沙漠里炙热的太阳，然后在凉爽的夜晚慢慢释放热量。出于同样的原因，许多印第安人用泥土盖房子。他们还将篝火的热量储存在包裹在皮革中的岩石中，并在晚上使用这些岩石为他们的床加热。这种古老的智慧现在可以通过沙电池应用于现代解决方案)”可知，第四段的主旨是沙子电池的灵感。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Now, Polar Night Energy, working with the heating company Lovisan Lämpð, will launch a sand battery 10 times the size and capable of storing up to100megawatts hour of heat.(现在，极地之夜能源公司与供暖公司Lovisan Lämpð合作，将推出一种沙子电池，其尺寸是原来的10倍，能够储存高达100兆瓦时的热量)”以及划线词后文“the need for oil-based energy for the entire town of Pornainen, Finland, and keep 160 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere annually”可知，建立巨大的沙子电池是为了去除芬兰Pornainen镇对石油能源的需求，并每年减少160吨二氧化碳的排放。故划线词意思是“去除”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They can provide heated water as well as heated air to homes and industries that would otherwise use fossil fuels.(它们可以为家庭和工业提供热水和加热空气，否则这些家庭和工业将使用化石燃料)”可知，沙电池可以为家庭或工业提供热量和电力。故选D。 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2分,共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With the rise of language apps, learning a new language is perhaps more popular than ever.

AI’s ability to customize (订制) learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn. making education more effective and engaging. Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. Learning platforms with AI can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, increasing engagement and understanding. Dream Box Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving. However, there’s an obvious concern coming up alongside these advancements—the AI divide or the growing gap between those who use AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have used Al-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced ones. The conversation around AI in education isn’t just about technology; it’s about fairness and opportunity. This could impact not only their academic performance but also their future college admissions and job prospects, suggests a2021 study by Georgetown University which found that AI skills are becoming increasingly sought after by employers. Addressing the AI divide requires a joint effort. Policymakers have the power to level the field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Educators must train their students to use AI as a tool. AI in education is a double-edged sword, with the promise of changed learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we embrace AI’s potential, we must also ensure it serves as a tool for, not exclusion, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed. 40.
