I first saw the earth — the whole earth from the shuttle Challenger in 1984. The view takes your breath away and fills you with childlike wonder. That’s why every shuttle crew has to clean nose prints off their space raft’s windows several times a day.
An incredibly beautiful tapestry (织锦) of blue and white, tan, black and green seems to glide beneath you at an elegant, stately pace. But you are actually going so fast that the entire map of the world spins before your eyes with each 90-minute orbit. After just one or two laps, you feel, maybe for the first time like a citizen of a planet. All the colors and patterns you see — the visible evidence of the complex working of the natural systems that make our planet habitable — seem both vast and precise, powerful and yet somehow fragile.
You see volcanoes spewing smoke, hurricanes roiling the oceans and even fine tendrils’ of Saharan dust reaching across the Atlantic.
You also see the big, gray smudges of fields, paddies and pastures, and at night you marvel at the lights, like brilliant diamonds, that reveal a mosaic of cities, roads and coastlines — impressive signs of the hand of humanity. Scientists tell us that our hand is heavy, that we are wiping out of other species at an unprecedented rate and probably transforming our climate.
Will the immense power of global systems withstand the impact of humanity? Or is it possible that our collective actions will change the nature of our planet enough to cripple its ability to support life?
I no longer believe that we can wait for all the scientific data needed to answer these questions conclusively. We must recognize immediately what it means to be citizens of this planet.
It means accepting the obligation to be the stewards of the earth’s life-giving capacities. As homeowners, we wouldn’t neglect or damage our houses until they weren’t fit to live in. Why would we do that with our planet?

C. Setting the stage for further discussion. D. Introducing different ideas on human impact.
6. According to the last paragraph, which of the following statement does the writer agree with?
A. It’s not clear what humans can do to nature
B. We must act now to take care of nature before it’s too late
C. Human beings are not the only creature of the earth
D. The earth is strong enough to support more lives.
7. What is the best title of the text?
A. A Glimpse of Home B. Going Green with Our Earth
C. Flying to the Future D. My Experience as an Astronaut
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A

Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.
“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”
At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive (侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”
To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist that they change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.
A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.
To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk. B. Stressing the importance of boundaries.
C. Shaping the image of an Oversharer. D. Presenting different opinions about sharing.
9. Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?
A. They want sympathy from others. B. They long for closer connections with others.
C. They are curious about others’ sufferings. D. They see it as a way to break the ice.
10. What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?
A. Declaring your boundaries. B. Demanding an apology.
C. Ignore their comments. D. Criticizing their rudeness.
11. What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?
A. To check her friend’s boundary. B. To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.
C. To learn from her friend’s experience. D. To show admiration for her friend.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“过度分享者”这一现象进行讨论,分析了过度分享者的特点、行为背后的动机,以及面对过度分享者时我们应该如何应对。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries. (对别人婚姻的不请自来的意见,他们不断的失败,或者浴室里发生的任何事情,都是你手上有一个过度分享者的迹象。不管他们是说得太多,还是问你一些你不太愿意分享的细节,这种太常见的角色是没有界限的)”可知,第一段描述了过度分享者的行为特点,如未经邀请就发表关于某人的婚姻、他们的持续失败或浴室里刚发生的任何事情的意见,这些都是你遇到了一个过度分享者的线索。因此,该段的主要功能是塑造一个过度分享者的形象,让读者对这种人有一个清晰的认识。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. (在尴尬的同时,过度分享者只是想通过更多地透露自己来接近你,并希望你也这样做)”和“but they really just want to be liked and accepted. (但他们真的只是想被喜欢和接受)”可知,过度分享者通过透露更多关于自己的事情来试图与你拉近距离,并希望你也能这样做。因此,他们之所以对谈论私人问题感兴趣,是因为他们渴望与他人建立更紧密的联系。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. (当他们真的越界了,不要害羞。说一些表明你的界限被越过了的话。)”可知,当过度分享者越过了你的界限时,建议的做法是声明你的界限。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A compliment also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary. (赞美对“过度分享者”也有很好的效果,Gerber补充说,因为它可以将谈话的焦点重新集中在他们的方向上,同时巧妙地重置你的界限)”以及最后一段“To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. (例如,当我的好管闲事的朋友问我打算什么时候要孩子时,下次我会给出这样明智的回答:“你让生孩子看起来很容易!你是怎么做到的?”然后点头微笑,点头微笑。)”可知,作者对她的爱打听的朋友关于她何时计划生孩子的问题,通过回答“你让孩子们看起来如此容易!你是怎么做到的?”赞美朋友来回应,从而将焦点从自己转移到她的朋友身上。故选B。
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could deny the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词)of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The theoretical basis of the study. B. The conclusion of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The methodology of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes what the teacher, says no matter what.
B. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
C. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Learning from their own experience. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Declining complex concepts. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
B. To clarify a misunderstanding about children’s learning ability.
C. To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.
D. To guide adults to help children avoid wrong ideas about the world.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项发表于《发展心理学》杂志的研究,探讨了儿童如何对待与他们通常想法相悖的观点,以及他们是否会通过实证来检验这些观点,并指出这种实证立场在儿童成长中的意义,同时提出成年人也应从中学习。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.(这项研究涉及来自中国学校的近200名3至8岁的儿童。每个孩子面前都放着五个大小不一的俄罗斯套娃。孩子们自然地认为最小的娃娃最轻,最大的最重。当被要求找出最重的物体时,大多数孩子选择了最大的那个。然后,一个成年人要么同意孩子们的选择,要么声称最小的娃娃最重。研究人员观察孩子们是否会改变主意,或者通过比较娃娃的重量来检验成年人的说法)”可知,本段主要介绍了这项研究的具体方法和过程,包括研究对象、实验材料、实验步骤等。故D选项“The methodology of the study.(研究的方法)”是本段主要内容。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This way of checking, known as the ‘empirical stance,’ is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.(这种检查方式,即‘实证立场’,在孩子们上小学时就很明显了)”和第四段中“However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls.(然而,当有机会探索这些娃娃时,那些听到惊人说法的小学生们会系统地通过比较最小和最大的娃娃来检验这个说法)”可知,实证立场指的是通过实际探索或比较来检验观点或说法。B选项“Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.(艾玛假设西瓜是甜的,然后尝了尝)”中的艾玛先假设西瓜甜,然后通过品尝来验证自己的假设,这符合实证立场的定义。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.(所以,虽然孩子们可能会从成年人那里了解到圣诞老人的魔力,但成年人同样也可以从小学龄儿童身上学到一些东西:我们大多数人都应该比现在更经常地采取实证立场)”可知,作者认为成年人也应该像儿童一样,更多地采取实证立场,即通过自己的经验或实证来检验和更新观点。A选项“Learning from their own experience.(从自己的经验中学习)”符合这一观点,即通过个人经验来学习和验证事物。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.(但成年人同样也可以从小学龄儿童身上学到一些东西:我们大多数人都应该比现在更经常地采取实证立场)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于儿童如何对待与他们通常想法相悖的观点,并如何通过实证来检验这些观点的研究,并指出这种实证立场不仅对于儿童成长有重要意义,成年人也应该从中学习,更多地采取实证立场。所以C选项“To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.(倡导所有年龄层都采取更实证的方法)”是本文的写作目的。故选C项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every year at this harvest time, you are likely to read articles about the promise that the average family can save money by growing their own fruit and vegetables. ___16___
So can your average home gardener really compete on price against the economies of scale of industrial agriculture? ___17___ Say you want to start with potatoes in a household container. In the UK, these cost around £75. Given potatoes in my supermarket are £0.90 per kilogram, you would have to produce at least 83 kg to break even. Assuming you get similar output as the professionals, a 60×60 cm container would only give you around 2 to 3 kg per year. So at best, you would only get your money back after around 27 years.
___18___ Well, given that everything goes well, you will still need to start by buying seed potatoes. In my garden centre these don’t come cheap. For easy-to-transport produce with long shelf lives, like potatoes, carrots and onions, it really is almost impossible to get the maths to work in your favour on a domestic scale, as efficiencies resulting from agricultural mechanisation make these so inexpensive to buy.
However, when it comes to more delicate offerings, the opposite is often true. The plants harvested only by hand can be costly to buy. ___19___ Many herbs like mint, dill and fennel are so tough that much of the gardening advice is how to prevent them from taking over your pot. This is also true for pricey salad crops like wild rocket, or arugula, which live a secret double life as a common garden weed. ___20___
A. Let’s look at the numbers.
B. So why bother to grow your own plants?
C. These turn out to be the exception to the general economic reality.
D. But the writers never really reference how they arrived at the conclusion.
E. What if you abandon the container and just grow some potatoes in garden soil?
F. The three most expensive items in my supermarket happen to be the easiest to grow.
G. We should consider the cost of the potatoes, the growing medium, fertiliser, and water.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了家庭园艺是否能节省开支,通过具体例子(如种植土豆)表明,对于一些作物,家庭种植难以与工业化生产的低成本竞争;但对某些草本植物和沙拉菜来说,家庭种植则更为经济实惠。
【16题详解】
由上文“Every year at this harvest time, you are likely to read articles about the promise that the average family can save money by growing their own fruit and vegetables. (每年在这个收获季节,你可能会读到这样的文章,即普通家庭可以通过种植自己的水果和蔬菜来省钱。)”可知,本空要承接上文,继续讨论关于“省钱”这一话题,再由后文“So can your average home gardener really compete on price against the economies of scale of industrial agriculture? (那么,普通家庭园丁真的能在价格上与工业化农业的规模经济竞争吗?)”可知,后文是在讨论“省钱”这一承诺是否能够实现,D选项中“conclusion”指代上文提到的“省钱”这一结论,D选项“But the writers never really reference how they arrived at the conclusion. (但作者们从未真正引用他们是如何得出这一结论的。)”符合题意,能够承上启下。故选D。
【17题详解】
由上文“So can your average home gardener really compete on price against the economies of scale of industrial agriculture? (那么,普通家庭园艺爱好者真的能在价格上与工业农业的规模化经济竞争吗?)”可知,本空要承接上文,引出下文对能否在价格上竞争的讨论,A选项“Let’s look at the numbers. (让我们看看这些数字。)”,引出下文通过列举数字进行说明,符合题意。故选A。
【18题详解】
由上文“Assuming you get similar output as the professionals, a 60×60 cm container would only give you around 2 to 3 kg per year. So at best, you would only get your money back after around 27 years. (假设你的产量与专业人士相似,一个60×60厘米的容器每年只能给你2到3公斤左右。所以,你最多只能在27年后拿回你的钱。)”可知,上文讨论了使用容器种植土豆可能需要很长时间才能回本,再由后文“Well, given that everything goes well, you will still need to start by buying seed potatoes. In my garden centre these don’t come cheap. (好吧,既然一切顺利,你仍然需要从购买种薯开始。在我的花园中心,这些并不便宜。)”可知,后文是在讨论在花园土壤中种植土豆,E选项中“the container”和上文相呼应,“in garden soil”引出下文种植方式,所以,E选项“What if you abandon the container and just grow some potatoes in garden soil? (如果你放弃容器,在花园的土壤里种一些土豆呢?)”提出了种植土豆的替代方案,自然地延续了关于如何更有效地种植土豆的话题。故选E。
【19题详解】
由上文“However, when it comes to more delicate offerings, the opposite is often true. The plants harvested only by hand can be costly to buy. (然而,当涉及到更精致的产品时,情况往往恰恰相反。只能手工收割的植物可能很贵。)”和下文“Many herbs like mint, dill and fennel are so tough that much of the gardening advice is how to prevent them from taking over your pot. (许多草药,如薄荷、莳萝和茴香,都非常坚硬,因此园艺建议大多是如何防止它们占据你的花盆。)”可知,这里主要讨论了某些植物的价格与其种植难易程度之间的反差,故本空需要引出一个与这种反差相关的观点。 F选项“The three most expensive items in my supermarket happen to be the easiest to grow. (我超市里最贵的三种商品恰好是最容易种植的。)”既是对上文内容的承接,也为下文进一步讨论这些植物的种植提供了铺垫。故选F。
【20题详解】
由上文“However, when it comes to more delicate offerings, the opposite is often true. The plants harvested only by hand can be costly to buy. (然而,当涉及到更精致的产品时,情况往往恰恰相反。只能手工收割的植物可能很贵。)”和“Many herbs like mint, dill and fennel are so tough that much of the gardening advice is how to prevent them from taking over your pot. This is also true for pricey salad crops like wild rocket, or arugula, which live a secret double life as a common garden weed. (许多草药,如薄荷、莳萝和茴香,都非常坚硬,因此园艺建议大多是如何防止它们占据你的花盆。对于野生火箭草或芝麻菜等昂贵的沙拉作物来说也是如此,它们作为一种常见的花园杂草,过着秘密的双重生活。)”可知,此处讨论的是一些植物虽然种植容易但价格却很高,这与一般的经济规律(即成本越低,价格应该越低)相悖。这些植物成为了经济规律中的一个例外。C选项中“These”指代的是前文提到的那些种植容易但价格昂贵的植物。故C选项“These turn out to be the exception to the general economic reality. (事实证明,这些都是一般经济现实的例外。)”总结上文,正好指出了上文所描述的植物是经济规律中的一个例外。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了考古学家樊锦诗致力于保护莫高窟文化遗产,并推动数字化保存的努力。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:尽管洞窟条件艰苦,樊决心研究国家文化遗产并留在这里追寻她的梦想。分析句子与句意可知,前后分句构成让步关系,形容词提前用的倒装,空处需用though/as引导让步状语从句。故填as/though。

考查时态和语态。句意:她深信这些石窟的社会重要性远远超过其经济潜力,并且科学保护是其生存的关键。根据句意及上下文时态可知,此处应用一般过去时,与主语She为被动关系,be动词用过去式was。故填was convinced。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:她深信这些石窟的社会重要性远远超过其经济潜力,并且科学保护是其生存的关键。survive是动词,空处需要名词形式为survival,由上文their修饰。故填survival。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:20世纪80年代末期,樊提出了一项创新计划,将莫高窟数字化,永久保存壁画、彩绘文物和历史数据。根据句意和“plan”结合可知,需用不定冠词表示泛指,且innovative首字母为元音音素,来修饰plan,故用an。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2016年,数字敦煌上线,使全世界的人们可以欣赏洞窟的全面图像。根据主句“Digital Dunhuang was launched online”可知,句子谓语动词为was,此处为非谓语动词作状语,主句与其为主动关系,故填allowing。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:年过八旬后,樊锦诗仍在努力,为敦煌洞窟的保护和管理不懈奉献。表示在某人几十岁用in one's+整十基数词复数,根据下文“her eighties”可知,介词in符合语境。故填In。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:年过八旬后,樊锦诗仍在努力,为敦煌洞窟的保护和管理不懈奉献。修饰动词devoted应用副词。故填tirelessly。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:她希望年轻一代可以发扬“莫高精神”,开创一个更好的敦煌研究院,这是她一生辛勤耕耘的地方。本句为定语从句,定语从句中缺少地点状语,应用where引导限制性定语从句指代先行词Dunhuang Academy。故填where。

I’d like to propose organizing a water balloon fight during our Sports Carnival. It combines fun with physical activity and is refreshing for the campers to enjoy.
To carry it out, we will divide the participants into teams, ideally consisting of 5-10 members each. Each team starts with an equal number of water balloons. Players can only throw balloons at opponents within the designated area. Once a player is hit by a water balloon, they must exit the game.

I believe it will be a highlight of the carnival!

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。
Linda, a high school girl, was feeling depressed after she had failed her mid-term exams. She didn’t answer her teachers’ questions actively in class like she used to. Instead, she began to lower her head and got absent-minded easily. Her friends and classmates were worried about her, but she didn’t feel like talking about it with them. Mrs. Green, her English teacher, noticed her changes and decided to do something before it got worse.
One day, Mrs. Green entered the classroom and asked her students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. Mrs. Green handed out the question papers, with the text facing down as usual. After she handed them all out, she asked her students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page. Mrs. Green, seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following:
“I want you to write what you see there.”
The students confused, got started on the task.
At the end of the class, Mrs. Green collected all the answer papers and started reading them aloud in front of all the students. Just as Mrs. Green had expected, with no exception, all of them described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. Mrs. Green then picked out Linda’s paper and added,
“Linda, I like your idea. Would you please follow me to the office and talk about it?”
“Er... Yes, madam!” Linda was puzzled because she thought her idea was no better than anyone else’s. Like others, she also described the black dot only and ignored the white part of the paper.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.每段的开头语已为你写好。
Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green’s office.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“ Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!” Linda got refreshed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green’s office. Mrs. Green invited her to share her ideas. After that, Mrs. Green smiled, “Have you ever noticed the white part of the paper?” Linda shook her head confused because it never occurred to her. Mrs. Green continued, “The black dot is just like the failure in life, only a small part. If we focus only on it, we might easily overlook the happiness of life, the bigger part.” Suddenly, Linda understood it. Tears welling up her eyes, she expressed gratitude to Mrs. Green before leaving the office.
“Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!” Linda got refreshed. Only then did she realize that she had a lot of admirable teachers, beloved families and friendly classmates. The failure of the exams was just a small part. From then on, Linda became active in the class again. She made steady progress in study and eventually got the best grades in the final exams. After this experience, Linda deeply realized that sometimes life can be hard, but we should always be positive and look at the bright side.

B
I first saw the earth — the whole earth from the shuttle Challenger in 1984. The view takes your breath away and fills you with childlike wonder. That’s why every shuttle crew has to clean nose prints off their space raft’s windows several times a day.
An incredibly beautiful tapestry (织锦) of blue and white, tan, black and green seems to glide beneath you at an elegant, stately pace. But you are actually going so fast that the entire map of the world spins before your eyes with each 90-minute orbit. After just one or two laps, you feel, maybe for the first time like a citizen of a planet. All the colors and patterns you see — the visible evidence of the complex working of the natural systems that make our planet habitable — seem both vast and precise, powerful and yet somehow fragile.
You see volcanoes spewing smoke, hurricanes roiling the oceans and even fine tendrils’ of Saharan dust reaching across the Atlantic.
You also see the big, gray smudges of fields, paddies and pastures, and at night you marvel at the lights, like brilliant diamonds, that reveal a mosaic of cities, roads and coastlines — impressive signs of the hand of humanity. Scientists tell us that our hand is heavy, that we are wiping out of other species at an unprecedented rate and probably transforming our climate.
Will the immense power of global systems withstand the impact of humanity? Or is it possible that our collective actions will change the nature of our planet enough to cripple its ability to support life?
I no longer believe that we can wait for all the scientific data needed to answer these questions conclusively. We must recognize immediately what it means to be citizens of this planet.
It means accepting the obligation to be the stewards of the earth’s life-giving capacities. As homeowners, we wouldn’t neglect or damage our houses until they weren’t fit to live in. Why would we do that with our planet?
4. What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 1?

Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.
“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”
At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive (侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”
To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist that they change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.
A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.
To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk. B. Stressing the importance of boundaries.
C. Shaping the image of an Oversharer. D. Presenting different opinions about sharing.
9. Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?
A. They want sympathy from others. B. They long for closer connections with others.
C. They are curious about others’ sufferings. D. They see it as a way to break the ice.
10. What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?
A. Declaring your boundaries. B. Demanding an apology.
C. Ignore their comments. D. Criticizing their rudeness.
11. What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?
A. To check her friend’s boundary. B. To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.
C. To learn from her friend’s experience. D. To show admiration for her friend.
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could deny the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词)of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The theoretical basis of the study. B. The conclusion of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The methodology of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes what the teacher, says no matter what.
B. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
C. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Learning from their own experience. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Declining complex concepts. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
B. To clarify a misunderstanding about children’s learning ability.
C. To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.
D. To guide adults to help children avoid wrong ideas about the world.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every year at this harvest time, you are likely to read articles about the promise that the average family can save money by growing their own fruit and vegetables. ___16___
So can your average home gardener really compete on price against the economies of scale of industrial agriculture? ___17___ Say you want to start with potatoes in a household container. In the UK these cost around £75. Given potatoes in my supermarket are £0.90 per kilogram, you would have to produce at least 83 kg to break even. Assuming you get similar output as the professionals, a 60×60 cm container would only give you around 2 to 3 kg per year. So at best, you would only get your money back after around 27 years.
___18___ Well, given that everything goes well, you will still need to start by buying seed potatoes. In my garden centre these don’t come cheap. For easy-to-transport produce with long shelf lives, like potatoes, carrots and onions, it really is almost impossible to get the maths to work in your favour on a domestic scale, as efficiencies resulting from agricultural mechanisation make these so inexpensive to buy.
However, when it comes to more delicate offerings, the opposite is often true. The plants harvested only by hand can be costly to buy. ___19___ Many herbs like mint, dill and fennel are so tough that much of the gardening advice is how to prevent them from taking over your pot. This is also true for pricey salad crops like wild rocket, or arugula, which live a secret double life as a common garden weed. ___20___
A. Let’s look at the numbers.
B. So why bother to grow your own plants?
C. These turn out to be the exception to the general economic reality.
D. But the writers never really reference how they arrived at the conclusion.
E. What if you abandon the container and just grow some potatoes in garden soil?
F. The three most expensive items in my supermarket happen to be the easiest to grow.
G. We should consider the cost of the potatoes, the growing medium, fertiliser, and water.

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。
Linda, a high school girl, was feeling depressed after she had failed her mid-term exams. She didn’t answer her teachers’ questions actively in class like she used to. Instead, she began to lower her head and got absent-minded easily. Her friends and classmates were worried about her, but she didn’t feel like talking about it with them. Mrs. Green, her English teacher, noticed her changes and decided to do something before it got worse.
One day, Mrs. Green entered the classroom and asked her students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. Mrs. Green handed out the question papers, with the text facing down as usual. After she handed them all out, she asked her students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page. Mrs. Green, seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following:
“I want you to write what you see there.”
The students, confused, got started on the task.
At the end of the class, Mrs. Green collected all the answer papers and started reading them aloud in front of all the students. Just as Mrs. Green had expected, with no exception, all of them described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. Mrs. Green then picked out Linda’s paper and added,
“Linda, I like your idea. Would you please follow me to the office and talk about it?”
“Er... Yes, madam!” Linda was puzzled because she thought her idea was no better than anyone else’s. Like others, she also described the black dot only and ignored the white part of the paper.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.每段的开头语已为你写好。
Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green’s office.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“ Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!” Linda got refreshed.
