Exploring the Silk Roads: 4 stunning sites in 4 countries from Syria to China
There are countless extraordinary places to explore and these 4 choices represent only a handful of highlights.
Old City of Damascus, Syria
Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, whose craft industry was famed for its decorated swords. While Damask silk originated in China, it takes its name from the trading city of Damascus. One of the most arresting sights is the Great Mosque of Damascus. After the start of the Syrian civil war, the ancient city of Damascus was added to UNESCO’s list of world heritage in danger in 2013.
Merv, Turkmenistan
Merv, an ancient city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been home to human settlements since the bronze age. It was also once one of the most important cities in the Islamic world, attracting traders, scholars and travelers from distant regions. Today it is considered one of the oldest and best-preserved oasis-cities (绿洲城市) on central Asia’s Silk Roads.
Taxila, Pakistan
Easily reachable by car from Islamabad, Taxila is a UNESCO world heritage site. Situated at a Silk Roads crossroads, the “City of Cut Stone” was one of the ancient capitals of Gandhara, a territory stretching between the Oxus and Indus rivers. Among the vast site today is a Mesolithic cave and the city’s museum, which is home to at least 2,000 priceless objects.
Dunhuang, China
Dunhuang is an oasis city in north-west China that is home to the magnificent Mogao grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The wall paintings tell an illustrated story of the Silk Roads from the fourth to the 14th centuries. Almost 500 caves have been preserved, housing countless murals and more than 2,000 painted sculptures. Cave 302 from the Sui dynasty period contains a particularly classic Silk Roads scene: a two-humped camel pulling a wagon with a merchant inside.
1. Where did Damask silk get its name from?
A. China.
B. The trading city of Damascus.
C. The Great Mosque of Damascus.
D. The Syrian craft industry.
2. What can we infer about Taxila from the text?
A. It was the only ancient capital of Gandhara.
B. It is remote from Islamabad.
C. It has a rich history and cultural heritage.
D. Its museum has less than 2,000 objects.
3. What do these four sites have in common?
A. They were all known as silk trading centers.
B. They are all capitals of their respective countries.
C. They are all famous for their modern architecture.
D. They all have UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
B
Ever wondered why robots can’t just tick the box that says “I’m not a robot”? It seems like a simple task, but there’s a lot more going on behind that little checkbox.
CAPTCHA, which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, used to be about typing out hard-to-read text. But as robots got smarter, these tests had to get tougher. The trouble was, they got so hard that even people had trouble with them.
Google, the big tech company, made a new system called reCAPTCHA. You’ve probably seen it; it’s just a box you click to say you’re not a robot. But robots can click boxes too, right? Well, it’s not just about the click. Google’s system is really clever. It watches how your mouse moves. These movement patterns are virtually impossible for bots to imitate. A robot moves its mouse in a straight line, but humans move theirs in more random ways.
If the system’s still not sure it asks you to pick out pictures of things like traffic lights or buses. It’s not only checking if you pick the right pictures, but also how you pick them.
Here’s a surprise: reCAPTCHA also looks at what you do online. Your browsing history helps it figure out if you’re a real person or a robot.
But what about those services where people solve CAPTCHAs for spammers (垃圾邮件制作者)? They’re still around, but it’s a tough job. They get paid very little for solving thousands of these puzzles.
So, that’s why that simple checkbox is more than meets the eye. It’s a battle between smart robots and even smarter security systems. As technology gets better, so do the ways to keep robots from pretending to be people online.
4. How does Google’s reCAPTCHA determine if a user is human?
A. By asking users to type out text accurately.
B. Through observing mouse movement patterns.
C. By only checking the click on the box.
D. With a simple password verification.
5. What does reCAPTCHA focus on besides the way of picking pictures?
A. The speed of picking pictures. B. The user’s physical location.
C. The user’s browsing history. D. The type of device used.
6. What might happen to the people who solve CAPTCHAs for spammers?
A. Their job will be harder. B. They’ll get assisted very little.
C. They’ll face law issues. D. They’ll be employed by Google.
7. What can we infer about the development of CAPTCHA?
A. It has been replaced by more advanced technology.
B. It has become more difficult only for robots.
C. It has evolved to be more challenging as robots advanced.
D. It has remained the same despite the progress of technology.
C
Unfortunately, it’s Tuesday again. True, it’s no longer Monday, but there are still three full days to go before the weekend. It feels like Tuesday lasts forever. By now, you’d think it must be Thursday, but it’s still only Tuesday. Why does this day seem to stretch on endlessly, week after week?
Ruth Ogden, a senior lecturer in psychology at Liverpool John Moores University, explains that part of the reason we feel this way is due to how we experience Mondays. “When we’re doing a lot, processing lots of information, we feel like more time has passed than normal,” she says. Our perception (感知) of time is affected by how much mental energy we’re using. The more overwhelmed we feel, the slower time seems to move.
For many, Monday is the busiest and most dreaded day. It’s the day to catch up on weekend emails, finish last week’s work, and plan for the week ahead. As a result, Mondays feel especially long. By the time we reach Tuesday, it feels like it should be further into the week, but it’s only Tuesday. After a hectic Monday, we expect time to speed up, but Tuesday seems to drag on.
Another factor affecting our perception of time is our emotions. The stronger our feelings, the more distorted our sense of time becomes. Stress, for example, makes time feel like it’s moving slowly. Since many Mondays are stressful, we feel like they last forever. Then, when we reach Tuesday, it’s a shock to realize how much of the workweek is still ahead.
Ogden suggests that mindfulness activities can help reduce this feeling. “Doing things to relax and reduce activities can help you feel like time is passing more quickly,” she says. One method she recommends is slow breathing, which can make time seem to move faster than it actually is. Mindfulness helps reduce stress and provides a sense of control over our busy schedules.
So next time you’re stuck in the endless loop of Tuesday, try to take a moment to breathe and relax — it might help you get through the week a bit faster.
8. Which Monday factor significantly extends the perception of Tuesday?
A. Monday’s unread mail drain on mental energy.
B. Mental strain from heavy Monday workload.
C. Quantity of Monday’s meetings.
D. Duration of Monday’s commute.
9. What does the underlined word “distorted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. enhanced. B. accurate. C. twisted. D. ignored.
10. Which mindfulness activity is best for changing the perception of a long Tuesday?
A. Slow desk stretching activity. B. Mindful eating practice.
C. Body scan relaxation technique. D. Slow-breathing exercises.
11. What is the main point of the text?
A. Explain the general concept of time perception during the week.
B. Discuss the benefits of mindfulness activities on weekdays.
C. Show how Monday’s work stress makes Tuesday seem longer.
D. Describe different ways to make Tuesdays more productive.
D
A world rich in thriving nature — flourishing forests, rivers, and oceans filled with life-is essential for humanity’s future. Nature’s recovery signals the planet’s recovery, and our survival depends on it. However, global wildlife populations have declined by 73% in the last 50 years, as reported in the 2024 Living Planet Report. Human activities continue to drive biodiversity loss, damaging Earth’s life-support systems and threatening human survival.
Two years ago, the COP15 Global Biodiversity Framework set a clear 2030 objective: to stop and reverse nature loss, ensuring biodiversity improves by the decade’s end. However, at COP16, while progress was made - such as recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ role as nature stewards(守护者) and ensuring companies pay for using genetic resources-a key issue remains: measuring progress accurately. Many nations have not yet submitted biodiversity plans, and there is no universal method for assessing nature’s loss or recovery.
Businesses and financial institutions are realizing the need to become nature positive. They recognize nature’s importance to their success and seek measurable outcomes. However, the wide variety of conflicting metrics (衡量指标) complicates comparisons and evaluations. Inspired by the “CO2 equivalent” used to track emissions, the Nature Positive Initiative is working to develop reliable biodiversity metrics to assess progress and ensure accountability.
Measuring nature is complex, but proxies can simplify the process. Just as climate change metrics hold governments and businesses accountable for their carbon impact, we need a similar approach for nature. The critical question – “Is nature improving or worsening?”- must be answerable globally, from farms to financial institutions, regardless of location.
Encouragingly, policies are emerging. The EU Nature Restoration Law enforces restoration targets, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive will require businesses to disclose their nature impacts. Botswana’s voluntary guidelines for listed companies also mark progress. These steps are vital to guide efforts and track results effectively.
Ultimately, this work aims for success: thriving forests, buzzing meadows, vibrant birds, and abundant fish. When nature thrives, economies and well-being flourish. Achieving this will prove we value nature not only for survival but for its inherent beauty.
12. What likely causes the significant decline in global wildlife populations?
A. Natural evolution processes. B. A single catastrophic event.
C. Random fluctuations in population. D. Human-induced habitat destruction.
13. What makes it hard to precisely measure nature restoration progress?
A. The constantly changing natural environment.
B. The lack of advanced technological tools.
C. The diversity of ecosystems and species.
D. The inconsistent definitions and methods used.
14. Why is the Nature Positive Initiative working on developing biodiversity metrics?
A. To compete with other initiatives.
B. To simplify the concept of nature protection.
C. To provide a standard for evaluating nature’s condition.
D. To attract more investors.
15. What can be inferred about the current state of nature protection policies?
A. They are well-established and effective.
B. They are being developed and improved.
C. They are too strict and hinder development.
D. They are only focused on developed countries.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Drawn by influencers’ viral videos that capture the treacherous beauty of the region, tourists are flooding into Ailao Mountain during the National Holiday.

Visitors can now access a limited area on the mountain that, though small in size, holds great charm. ____19____
But the enthusiasm doesn’t stop there — many are eager to venture beyond the developed sites, seeking unique experiences and untouched nature in the mountain’s remote regions. On Oct. 4, popular blogger Chen Duoduo shared that she had entered the “core area” of Ailao Mountain and spent the night in the forest. ____20____ So the central government issued a stricter warning, urging travelers to prioritize personal and financial safety.
A. The journey adds to the Ailao Mountains’ thrill.
B. This video has attracted various fans in painting field.
C. In a recent video, cars are seen stretching miles as tourists await entry.

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。
Eudora worked tirelessly with her mother in their vegetable garden, earning a modest living by selling fresh produce at the local farmer’s market. Her primary responsibility was to ensure the daikon radishes were properly watered. She often imagined the vegetables she tended as splendid carnations, like the ones grown by Mrs. Brown, a renowned flower grower in their village. Mrs. Brown’s carnations were famous for their beauty, and Eudora longed to grow flowers just like them.
“Foolish girl!” her mother scolded when she caught Eudora daydreaming “Flowers are useless to us. They can’t be eaten!”
“But people buy them, Mother,” Eudora replied.
“Only city people,” her mother retorted. “We are not rich enough to waste time on flowers. Focus on our vegetables.”
Eudora knew her mother was right. Their family depended on the vegetables they grew to survive. Still, she couldn’t help but envy Mrs. Brown, who sold her prize carnations to shops in Edinburgh. Every year, Mrs. Brown won first prize at the Edinburgh Carnation Festival, and villagers whispered that she must use magic to achieve such consistent success. Eudora dreamed of growing something as beautiful and proud as Mrs. Brown’s flowers.
One day, unable to resist her curiosity, Eudora visited Mrs. Brown’s garden. The flowers were magnificent—vivid reds, dazzling golds, and pure whites. Eudora gazed at them in awe, but Mrs. Brown only laughed. “Do you think a child like you could ever grow flowers like mine? Stick to vegetables.”
As Eudora was leaving, she noticed Mrs. Brown tossing a scraggly (稀疏凌乱的) plant over the fence, its roots exposed and leaves drooping. Seizing the opportunity, Eudora quickly took the plant home and carefully transplanted it behind her cottage. She whispered, “Grow, little flower, grow. You don’t need to win a prize—just grow.”
For weeks, Eudora nurtured the plant in secret. She watered it, weeded around it, and sang to it every day. Slowly, it grew stronger and taller. Even as her mother praised her hard work in the vegetable garden, Eudora kept her secret, hiding her dream of growing a flower as beautiful as Mrs. Brown’s.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The morning before the festival, Eudora checked on her plant.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Encouraged, Eudora took her rainbow carnation to the festival.

Exploring the Silk Roads: 4 stunning sites in 4 countries from Syria to China
There are countless extraordinary places to explore and these 4 choices represent only a handful of highlights.
Old City of Damascus, Syria
Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, whose craft industry was famed for its decorated swords. While Damask silk originated in China, it takes its name from the trading city of Damascus. One of the most arresting sights is the Great Mosque of Damascus. After the start of the Syrian civil war, the ancient city of Damascus was added to UNESCO’s list of world heritage in danger in 2013.

Ever wondered why robots can’t just tick the box that says “I’m not a robot”? It seems like a simple task, but there’s a lot more going on behind that little checkbox.
CAPTCHA, which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, used to be about typing out hard-to-read text. But as robots got smarter, these tests had to get tougher. The trouble was, they got so hard that even people had trouble with them.
Google, the big tech company, made a new system called reCAPTCHA. You’ve probably seen it; it’s just a box you click to say you’re not a robot. But robots can click boxes too, right? Well, it’s not just about the click. Google’s system is really clever. It watches how your mouse moves. These movement patterns are virtually impossible for bots to imitate. A robot moves its mouse in a straight line, but humans move theirs in more random ways.
If the system’s still not sure, it asks you to pick out pictures of things like traffic lights or buses. It’s not only checking if you pick the right pictures, but also how you pick them.
Here’s a surprise: reCAPTCHA also looks at what you do online. Your browsing history helps it figure out if you’re a real person or a robot.
But what about those services where people solve CAPTCHAs for spammers (垃圾邮件制作者)? They’re still around, but it’s a tough job. They get paid very little for solving thousands of these puzzles.
So, that’s why that simple checkbox is more than meets the eye. It’s a battle between smart robots and even smarter security systems. As technology gets better, so do the ways to keep robots from pretending to be people online.
4. How does Google’s reCAPTCHA determine if a user is human?
A. By asking users to type out text accurately.
B. Through observing mouse movement patterns.
C. By only checking the click on the box.
D. With a simple password verification.
5. What does reCAPTCHA focus on besides the way of picking pictures?
A. The speed of picking pictures. B. The user’s physical location.
C. The user’s browsing history. D. The type of device used.
6. What might happen to the people who solve CAPTCHAs for spammers?
A. Their job will be harder. B. They’ll get assisted very little.
C. They’ll face law issues. D. They’ll be employed by Google.
7. What can we infer about the development of CAPTCHA?
A. It has been replaced by more advanced technology.
B. It has become more difficult only for robots.
C. It has evolved to be more challenging as robots advanced.
D. It has remained the same despite the progress of technology.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C

Unfortunately, it’s Tuesday again. True, it’s no longer Monday, but there are still three full days to go before the weekend. It feels like Tuesday lasts forever. By now, you’d think it must be Thursday, but it’s still only Tuesday. Why does this day seem to stretch on endlessly, week after week?
Ruth Ogden, a senior lecturer in psychology at Liverpool John Moores University, explains that part of the reason we feel this way is due to how we experience Mondays. “When we’re doing a lot, processing lots of information, we feel like more time has passed than normal,” she says. Our perception (感知) of time is affected by how much mental energy we’re using. The more overwhelmed we feel, the slower time seems to move.
For many, Monday is the busiest and most dreaded day. It’s the day to catch up on weekend emails, finish last week’s work, and plan for the week ahead. As a result, Mondays feel especially long. By the time we reach Tuesday, it feels like it should be further into the week, but it’s only Tuesday. After a hectic Monday, we expect time to speed up, but Tuesday seems to drag on.
Another factor affecting our perception of time is our emotions. The stronger our feelings, the more distorted our sense of time becomes. Stress, for example, makes time feel like it’s moving slowly. Since many Mondays are stressful, we feel like they last forever. Then, when we reach Tuesday, it’s a shock to realize how much of the workweek is still ahead.
Ogden suggests that mindfulness activities can help reduce this feeling. “Doing things to relax and reduce activities can help you feel like time is passing more quickly,” she says. One method she recommends is slow breathing, which can make time seem to move faster than it actually is. Mindfulness helps reduce stress and provides a sense of control over our busy schedules.
So next time you’re stuck in the endless loop of Tuesday, try to take a moment to breathe and relax — it might help you get through the week a bit faster.
8. Which Monday factor significantly extends the perception of Tuesday?
A. Monday’s unread mail drain on mental energy.
B. Mental strain from heavy Monday workload.
C. Quantity of Monday’s meetings.
D. Duration of Monday’s commute.
9. What does the underlined word “distorted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. enhanced. B. accurate. C. twisted. D. ignored.
10. Which mindfulness activity is best for changing the perception of a long Tuesday?
A. Slow desk stretching activity. B. Mindful eating practice.
C. Body scan relaxation technique. D. Slow-breathing exercises.
11. What is the main point of the text?
A. Explain the general concept of time perception during the week.
B. Discuss the benefits of mindfulness activities on weekdays.
C. Show how Monday’s work stress makes Tuesday seem longer.
D. Describe different ways to make Tuesdays more productive.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了周一工作压力如何使周二感觉更长。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“For many, Monday is the busiest and most dreaded day. It’s the day to catch up on weekend emails, finish last week’s work, and plan for the week ahead. As a result, Mondays feel especially long. By the time we reach Tuesday, it feels like it should be further into the week, but it’s only Tuesday. After a hectic Monday, we expect time to speed up, but Tuesday seems to drag on. (对许多人来说,周一是最忙、最可怕的一天。这是回复周末邮件,完成上周工作,为下周做计划的日子。因此,周一感觉特别漫长。到了周二的时候,感觉这周应该更深入了,但现在只是周二。忙碌的星期一过后,我们期待时间加快,但星期二似乎过得很慢。)”可知,周一繁重的工作量带来的精神压力使得人们感觉周二特别漫长。因此,周一的精神压力显著延长了人们对周二的感知。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第四段“Another factor affecting our perception of time is our emotions. The stronger our feelings, the more distorted our sense of time becomes. Stress, for example, makes time feel like it’s moving slowly. Since many Mondays are stressful, we feel like they last forever. Then, when we reach Tuesday, it’s a shock to realize how much of the workweek is still ahead. (影响我们对时间感知的另一个因素是我们的情绪。我们的感觉越强烈,我们的时间感就越distorted。例如,压力会让时间感觉过得很慢。由于很多周一都很有压力,我们觉得它们会永远持续下去。然后,当我们到了星期二的时候,我们会震惊地意识到一周还有多少工作要做。)”可知,影响我们对时间感知的另一个因素是我们的情绪,我们的情绪越强烈,我们对时间的感知就变得越“扭曲”。因此,distorted在此处的意思是“扭曲的”,与选项C“twisted (扭曲的)”的意思相符。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“One method she recommends is slow breathing, which can make time seem to move faster than it actually is. (她推荐的一种方法是缓慢呼吸,这会让时间过得比实际快。)”可知,对于改变漫长周二的感知,慢呼吸练习是最好的正念活动。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“Unfortunately, it’s Tuesday again. True, it’s no longer Monday, but there are still three full days to go before the weekend. It feels like Tuesday lasts forever. By now, you’d think it must be Thursday, but it’s still only Tuesday. Why does this day seem to stretch on endlessly, week after week? (不幸的是,今天又是星期二。没错,今天已经不是星期一了,但离周末还有整整三天。感觉周二永远都过不完。到现在为止,你会认为今天一定是星期四,但它仍然只是星期二。为什么这一天似乎没完没了,一周又一周?)”可知,本文主要讲述了周一的工作压力如何使得周二看起来更长。故选C。

A world rich in thriving nature — flourishing forests, rivers, and oceans filled with life-is essential for humanity’s future. Nature’s recovery signals the planet’s recovery, and our survival depends on it. However, global wildlife populations have declined by 73% in the last 50 years, as reported in the 2024 Living Planet Report. Human activities continue to drive biodiversity loss, damaging Earth’s life-support systems and threatening human survival.
Two years ago, the COP15 Global Biodiversity Framework set a clear 2030 objective: to stop and reverse nature loss, ensuring biodiversity improves by the decade’s end. However, at COP16, while progress was made - such as recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ role as nature stewards(守护者) and ensuring companies pay for using genetic resources-a key issue remains: measuring progress accurately. Many nations have not yet submitted biodiversity plans, and there is no universal method for assessing nature’s loss or recovery.
Businesses and financial institutions are realizing the need to become nature positive. They recognize nature’s importance to their success and seek measurable outcomes. However, the wide variety of conflicting metrics (衡量指标) complicates comparisons and evaluations. Inspired by the “CO2 equivalent” used to track emissions, the Nature Positive Initiative is working to develop reliable biodiversity metrics to assess progress and ensure accountability.
Measuring nature is complex, but proxies can simplify the process. Just as climate change metrics hold governments and businesses accountable for their carbon impact, we need a similar approach for nature. The critical question – “Is nature improving or worsening?”- must be answerable globally, from farms to financial institutions, regardless of location.
Encouragingly, policies are emerging. The EU Nature Restoration Law enforces restoration targets, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive will require businesses to disclose their nature impacts. Botswana’s voluntary guidelines for listed companies also mark progress. These steps are vital to guide efforts and track results effectively.
Ultimately, this work aims for success: thriving forests, buzzing meadows, vibrant birds, and abundant fish. When nature thrives, economies and well-being flourish. Achieving this will prove we value nature not only for survival but for its inherent beauty.
12. What likely causes the significant decline in global wildlife populations?
A. Natural evolution processes. B. A single catastrophic event.
C. Random fluctuations in population. D. Human-induced habitat destruction.
13. What makes it hard to precisely measure nature restoration progress?
A. The constantly changing natural environment.
B. The lack of advanced technological tools.
C. The diversity of ecosystems and species.
D. The inconsistent definitions and methods used.
14. Why is the Nature Positive Initiative working on developing biodiversity metrics?
A. To compete with other initiatives.
B. To simplify the concept of nature protection.
C. To provide a standard for evaluating nature’s condition.
D. To attract more investors.
15. What can be inferred about the current state of nature protection policies?
A. They are well-established and effective.
B. They are being developed and improved.
C They are too strict and hinder development.
D. They are only focused on developed countries.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。人类活动致生物多样性受损,当前正努力制定措施保护自然并衡量进展。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第四句“Human activities continue to drive biodiversity loss, damaging Earth’s life-support systems and threatening human survival.(人类活动继续导致生物多样性丧失,破坏地球的生命支持系统,并威胁人类生存。)”可知,人类活动导致生物多样性丧失,所以很可能是人类导致的栖息地破坏造成了全球野生动物数量的大幅下降。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Many nations have not yet submitted biodiversity plans, and there is no universal method for assessing nature’s loss or recovery.(许多国家尚未提交生物多样性计划,而且没有评估自然损失或恢复的通用方法。)”可知,许多国家没有提交生物多样性计划,并且缺乏通用的评估方法,也就是使用的定义和方法不一致,这使得很难精确衡量自然恢复的进展。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Inspired by the ‘CO2 equivalent’ used to track emissions, the Nature Positive Initiative is working to develop reliable biodiversity metrics to assess progress and ensure accountability.(受用于跟踪排放的‘二氧化碳当量’的启发,‘积极保护自然倡议’正在努力开发可靠的生物多样性衡量指标,以评估进展并确保问责制。)”可知,“积极保护自然倡议”致力于开发生物多样性衡量指标是为了提供一个评估自然状况的标准,以便评估进展并确保问责制。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Encouragingly, policies are emerging. The EU Nature Restoration Law enforces restoration targets, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive will require businesses to disclose their nature impacts. Botswana’s voluntary guidelines for listed companies also mark progress. These steps are vital to guide efforts and track results effectively.(令人鼓舞的是,政策正在不断涌现。欧盟的自然恢复法强制执行恢复目标,企业可持续发展报告指令将要求企业披露其对自然的影响。博茨瓦纳针对上市公司的自愿准则也标志着进展。这些步骤对于有效地指导工作和跟踪结果至关重要。)”可知,有新的政策不断出现,如欧盟的法律、企业的报告指令以及博茨瓦纳的准则等,说明自然保护政策正在不断发展和完善。故选B项。

【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m writing to share with you my opinion on using AI for learning. I believe that AI can be a helpful tool to enhance our study efficiency, especially for subjects like mathematics and languages. It can offer personalized feedback and help us focus on areas where we need improvement.
Therefore, I suggest we use AI wisely. Firstly, it’s important to maintain a balance and not overly depend on it. AI should complement traditional learning methods, not replace them. Further more, we should also be cautious about its limitations and always verify the information it provides.
In short, AI should be used as a supplementary tool, rather than replacing the abilities of critical thinking and creativity.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Eudora worked tirelessly with her mother in their vegetable garden, earning a modest living by selling fresh produce at the local farmer’s market. Her primary responsibility was to ensure the daikon radishes were properly watered. She often imagined the vegetables she tended as splendid carnations, like the ones grown by Mrs. Brown, a renowned flower grower in their village. Mrs. Brown’s carnations were famous for their beauty, and Eudora longed to grow flowers just like them.
“Foolish girl!” her mother scolded when she caught Eudora daydreaming. “Flowers are useless to us. They can’t be eaten!”
“But people buy them, Mother,” Eudora replied.
“Only city people,” her mother retorted. “We are not rich enough to waste time on flowers. Focus on our vegetables.”
Eudora knew her mother was right. Their family depended on the vegetables they grew to survive. Still, she couldn’t help but envy Mrs. Brown, who sold her prize carnations to shops in Edinburgh. Every year, Mrs. Brown won first prize at the Edinburgh Carnation Festival, and villagers whispered that she must use magic to achieve such consistent success. Eudora dreamed of growing something as beautiful and proud as Mrs. Brown’s flowers.
One day, unable to resist her curiosity, Eudora visited Mrs. Brown’s garden. The flowers were magnificent—vivid reds, dazzling golds, and pure whites. Eudora gazed at them in awe, but Mrs. Brown only laughed. “Do you think a child like you could ever grow flowers like mine? Stick to vegetables.”
As Eudora was leaving, she noticed Mrs. Brown tossing a scraggly (稀疏凌乱的) plant over the fence, its roots exposed and leaves drooping. Seizing the opportunity, Eudora quickly took the plant home and carefully transplanted it behind her cottage. She whispered, “Grow, little flower, grow. You don’t need to win a prize—just grow.”
For weeks, Eudora nurtured the plant in secret. She watered it, weeded around it, and sang to it every day. Slowly, it grew stronger and taller. Even as her mother praised her hard work in the vegetable garden, Eudora kept her secret, hiding her dream of growing a flower as beautiful as Mrs. Brown’s.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The morning before the festival, Eudora checked on her plant.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Encouraged, Eudora took her rainbow carnation to the festival.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The morning before the festival, Eudora checked on her plant. To her amazement, it had transformed into a towering rainbow carnation. Its petals, glowing with every imaginable color, were so vibrant and stunning that it seemed almost magical. Filled with excitement, she rushed to spread the news, which made her mother and Mrs. Brown hurry over to see what had happened. They stared in amazement at the beautiful flower, unable to believe how a simple weed, thrown away by Mrs. Brown, had turned into something so remarkable. The plant, cared for with love, patience, and attention, now stood as a symbol of growth and transformation. Eudora’s hard work had paid off, and the carnation was a uniquely beautiful burst of colors they’d never seen before.
Encouraged, Eudora took her rainbow carnation to the festival. Not surprisingly, Eudora’s carnation won first prize at the festival. With the prize money, she bought starter plants to begin her own flower garden, finally making a long-held dream come true. Under Mrs. Brown’s expert guidance, Eudora quickly learned the skills needed to grow healthy, bright flowers and how to sell them in Edinburgh, where her unique blooms gained popularity. The steady income she earned not only improved her family’s living standards but also gave her a deep sense of accomplishment. Looking back on her journey, Eudora realized that the true secret of life, much like growing flowers, lies in nurturing dreams with love, patience, effort, and persistence. This important lesson became a guiding principle she would carry with her always.
