A whale shark under the waves caught in a ray of sunlight, a snow leopard (豹) moving forward with its eyes locked on yours–these images could easily be mistaken for photographs, but in fact they were captured by a paintbrush.
British artist Sophie Green often creates paintings of endangered animal species. With a following of over 115, 000 on a social platform, she’s not doing so badly.
Last year, one of Green’s works was auctioned (拍卖) at the Royal Geographical Society in London. It was a painting of a chimp (黑猩猩), called Wounda, which had been rescued from a illegal trade by the Jane Goodall Institute in the Republic of Congo. When Wounda arrived at the institute, she was in desperate need of medical attention, but since receiving treatment, she has made a full recovery and now lives in an island reserve.
Profits from all Green’s artworks goes towards funding a range of projects, from shark and turtle research to conservation for African land mammals.
As a child, Green was diagnosed (诊断) with selective-mutism — a form of anxiety, meaning she wouldn’t speak in class or to her teachers. Consequently, she bathed herself in nature. Green believed painting can be more effective than photography, because it affords more control over the composition. “If you want the animal to be looking directly into your eyes, then you can do that,” she said.
Green’s process differs from piece to piece. She often finds images for inspiration everywhere, sometimes using photographs captured by herself or her friends, and sometimes surfing the Internet to find images of the creature she wants to paint. Often, the final piece comes from a combination of several images.
Her goal is to encourage action from people who view the artwork. “If you’ve looked into the animal’s eyes, I think it’s much harder to forget that there’s so much going on in the world right now and so many animals that need our help,” Green said.
4. What does the author start the text with?
A. Photographs of animals.
B. Excellence of Green’s works.
C. Limitations of Green’s works.
D. Impacts of animal-focused paintings.
5. Why is Green’s painting about a rescued chimp mentioned?
A. To stress her environmental awareness.
B. To display the main theme of her works.
C. To encourage people to support the auction.
D. To show her contribution to protecting animals.
6. What do we know about Green’s art-making process?
A. She often turns to others for help.
B. She mainly relies on online information.
C. She observes real animals to get inspiration.
D. She combines different images into her work.
7. What does Green mean in the last paragraph?
A. Criticizing people for ignoring the endangered animals.
B. Emphasizing the importance of eye contact with animals.
C. Highlighting the emotional impact of the work on viewers.
D. Showing her paintings are more realistic than photographs.
C
It was a Tuesday night. In my apartment, I was doing three things at once – packing for a trip, trying to get dinner on the table and taking turns with my husband to calm a crying baby. Behind me, one work message after another popped up on my computer screen. I ignored them all. During dinner, a text appeared on my phone: “Where are u???” asked my colleague.
I didn’t reply to the text. This wasn’t the first time I’d ignored a digital summons (召唤). I didn’t mean to be disrespectful, but I was also aware of what I wanted my silence to communicate: This is not a priority for me now.
For those who want to be polite, text-based digital communications can be extremely demanding. Ignoring a text message or an email feels rude, but should it?
Cal Newport, the author of A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, has argued in his book that the etiquette (礼节) of digital communications is and should be different from that of in-person or phone conversation, especially when it comes to the back and forth of hellos, goodbyes and other pleasantries (打趣话). “In an in-person conversation it can feel rude not to finalize an exchange,” he explained. “But in the context of digital communication, the sender often prefers avoiding the receipt of additional messages when possible.”
Besides, in an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, it is essential to prioritize our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: when we’re on vacation; when it’s after 7 pm; when we’re at the dinner table.
It’s also worth asking yourself who pressures you for immediate replies. Perhaps it’s not the message sender, but you. A recent study found that we tend to overestimate our colleagues’ expectations for non-urgent work emails outside of work hours. So instead of criticizing yourself for not responding right away, consider slowing down and giving yourself a break.
8. How does the author feel about ignoring the work message during family time?
A. Guilty. B. Justified. C. Indifferent. D. Disrespectful.
9. How does Cal Newport view the etiquette of digital communication compared to that of in-person conversation?
A. It should be the same. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It should be more formal. D. It should be less demanding.
10. What should we do according to the last paragraph?
A. Remember to put our family in the first place.
B. Find a good way to balance our work and life.
C. Realize the urgency and importance of our work.
D. Avoid pushing ourselves to respond to messages.
11. Which of the following questions can be answered in the text?
A. Is it always rude to ignore digital communications?
B. Does politeness matter a lot in digital communications?
C. Why should we depend less on digital communications?
D. How can we express ourselves in digital communications?
D
Rammed earth (夯土) parts of the Great Wall have been regarded as a weak point in its structure. But they developed a natural line of defense against the approaching risk of worsening, a new study has found.
The soil surfaces on the Great Wall are covered by a “living skin” of tiny, rootless plants and microorganisms known as biocrusts that are a source of the heritage site’s staying power, according to soil ecologist Matthew Bowker, coauthor of the study published in the journal Science Advances.
Examining samples taken from over 483 kilometers across eight rammed earth sections of the site built between 1368 and 1644, the study authors found that more than two-thirds of the area is covered in biocrusts. And the researchers discovered that samples with biocrusts were three times as strong as those without. The secretions (分泌物) and structural layers of biocrusts form a “sticky network” of soil particles that promote strength and stability against negative forces threatening the Great Wall.
Most of the communities that make up a biocrust start from a single organism that grows and makes the environments it grows within suitable for others. Although they’re still easily affected by climate change, these constantly-evolving organisms are expected to use internal mechanisms to adapt to future extremes, said Emmanuel Salifu, an assistant professor at Arizona State University. “Even if we said warmer temperatures, they’re suited to performing in those conditions,” he said. “We assume they’ll be better able to survive if we engineer their growth at scale.” Salifu sees the new study as evidence of the potential advantages of engineering biocrusts for the conservation of earthen heritage sites.
Beyond its status as a tourist destination, the Great Wall has great cultural significance, which is why the biocrusts preserving it are so important, said study coauthor Bo Xiao, a professor from China Agricultural University.
12. What do the underlined words “a natural line of defense” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The protective role of biocrusts. B. The deep research into biocrusts.
C. The cultural value of the Great Wall. D. The poor protection of the Great Wall.
13. How did the researchers confirm the beneficial effects of biocrusts?
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By measuring the scale of biocrusts.
C. By comparing the collected samples. D. By analyzing the secretions of biocrusts.
14. What is implied in Emmanuel Salifu’s words?
A. The bright future of plant engineering.
B. International recognition of the current study.
C. The growing seriousness of global climate change.
D. Possibilities for applying biotechnology to biocrusts.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. A “living skin” is protecting the Great Wall
B. A “living skin” is forming on the Great Wall
C. Biocrusts play a key role in scientific studies
D. Biocrusts show their powerful ability to survive

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy would ask for: a cell phone. I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when the time came for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!”
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh, which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced while they were busy preparing for the vacation.
My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite.
I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelled of trees. But that didn’t matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 左右;
请按如下格式作答。
When we finally arrived at the campsite, I stepped out of the car with a long face.

A whale shark under the waves caught in a ray of sunlight, a snow leopard (豹) moving forward with its eyes locked on yours–these images could easily be mistaken for photographs, but in fact they were captured by a paintbrush.
British artist Sophie Green often creates paintings of endangered animal species. With a following of over 115, 000 on a social platform, she’s not doing so badly.
Last year, one of Green’s works was auctioned (拍卖) at the Royal Geographical Society in London. It was a painting of a chimp (黑猩猩), called Wounda, which had been rescued from a illegal trade by the Jane Goodall Institute in the Republic of Congo. When Wounda arrived at the institute, she was in desperate need of medical attention, but since receiving treatment, she has made a full recovery and now lives in an island reserve.
Profits from all Green’s artworks goes towards funding a range of projects, from shark and turtle research to conservation for African land mammals.
As a child, Green was diagnosed (诊断) with selective-mutism — a form of anxiety, meaning she wouldn’t speak in class or to her teachers. Consequently, she bathed herself in nature. Green believed painting can be more effective than photography, because it affords more control over the composition. “If you want the animal to be looking directly into your eyes, then you can do that,” she said.
Green’s process differs from piece to piece. She often finds images for inspiration everywhere, sometimes using photographs captured by herself or her friends, and sometimes surfing the Internet to find images of the creature she wants to paint. Often, the final piece comes from a combination of several images.
Her goal is to encourage action from people who view the artwork. “If you’ve looked into the animal’s eyes, I think it’s much harder to forget that there’s so much going on in the world right now and so many animals that need our help,” Green said.
4. What does the author start the text with?
A. Photographs of animals.
B. Excellence of Green’s works.
C. Limitations of Green’s works.
D. Impacts of animal-focused paintings.
5. Why is Green’s painting about a rescued chimp mentioned?
A To stress her environmental awareness.
B. To display the main theme of her works.
C. To encourage people to support the auction.
D. To show her contribution to protecting animals.
6. What do we know about Green’s art-making process?
A. She often turns to others for help.
B. She mainly relies on online information.
C. She observes real animals to get inspiration.
D. She combines different images into her work.
7. What does Green mean in the last paragraph?
A. Criticizing people for ignoring the endangered animals.
B. Emphasizing the importance of eye contact with animals.
C. Highlighting the emotional impact of the work on viewers.
D. Showing her paintings are more realistic than photographs.
【答案】4 B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】

(她的目标是鼓励观看艺术品的人采取行动。Green说:“如果你看着动物的眼睛,我认为很难忘记现在世界上发生了很多事情,有很多动物需要我们的帮助。”。)”可知,通过观看动物的眼睛,观众可以感受到作品背后的情感,并意识到世界上的动物需要帮助,这强调了她的作品对观众的情感影响,让观众更能感受到保护动物的紧迫性,从而采取行动。故选C。
C
It was a Tuesday night. In my apartment, I was doing three things at once – packing for a trip, trying to get dinner on the table and taking turns with my husband to calm a crying baby. Behind me, one work message after another popped up on my computer screen. I ignored them all. During dinner, a text appeared on my phone: “Where are u???” asked my colleague.
I didn’t reply to the text. This wasn’t the first time I’d ignored a digital summons (召唤). I didn’t mean to be disrespectful, but I was also aware of what I wanted my silence to communicate: This is not a priority for me now.
For those who want to be polite, text-based digital communications can be extremely demanding. Ignoring a text message or an email feels rude, but should it?
Cal Newport, the author of A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, has argued in his book that the etiquette (礼节) of digital communications is and should be different from that of in-person or phone conversation, especially when it comes to the back and forth of hellos, goodbyes and other pleasantries (打趣话). “In an in-person conversation it can feel rude not to finalize an exchange,” he explained. “But in the context of digital communication, the sender often prefers avoiding the receipt of additional messages when possible.”
Besides, in an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, it is essential to prioritize our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: when we’re on vacation; when it’s after 7 pm; when we’re at the dinner table.
It’s also worth asking yourself who pressures you for immediate replies. Perhaps it’s not the message sender, but you. A recent study found that we tend to overestimate our colleagues’ expectations for non-urgent work emails outside of work hours. So instead of criticizing yourself for not responding right away, consider slowing down and giving yourself a break.
8. How does the author feel about ignoring the work message during family time?
A. Guilty. B. Justified. C. Indifferent. D. Disrespectful.
9. How does Cal Newport view the etiquette of digital communication compared to that of in-person conversation?
A. It should be the same. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It should be more formal. D. It should be less demanding.
10. What should we do according to the last paragraph?
A. Remember to put our family in the first place.
B. Find a good way to balance our work and life.
C. Realize the urgency and importance of our work.
D. Avoid pushing ourselves to respond to messages.
11. Which of the following questions can be answered in the text?
A. Is it always rude to ignore digital communications?
B. Does politeness matter a lot in digital communications?
C. Why should we depend less on digital communications?
D. How can we express ourselves in digital communications?
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】

Rammed earth (夯土) parts of the Great Wall have been regarded as a weak point in its structure. But they developed a natural line of defense against the approaching risk of worsening, a new study has found.
The soil surfaces on the Great Wall are covered by a “living skin” of tiny rootless plants and microorganisms known as biocrusts that are a source of the heritage site’s staying power, according to soil ecologist Matthew Bowker, coauthor of the study published in the journal Science Advances.
Examining samples taken from over 483 kilometers across eight rammed earth sections of the site built between 1368 and 1644, the study authors found that more than two-thirds of the area is covered in biocrusts. And the researchers discovered that samples with biocrusts were three times as strong as those without. The secretions (分泌物) and structural layers of biocrusts form a “sticky network” of soil particles that promote strength and stability against negative forces threatening the Great Wall.
Most of the communities that make up a biocrust start from a single organism that grows and makes the environments it grows within suitable for others. Although they’re still easily affected by climate change, these constantly-evolving organisms are expected to use internal mechanisms to adapt to future extremes, said Emmanuel Salifu, an assistant professor at Arizona State University. “Even if we said warmer temperatures, they’re suited to performing in those conditions,” he said. “We assume they’ll be better able to survive if we engineer their growth at scale.” Salifu sees the new study as evidence of the potential advantages of engineering biocrusts for the conservation of earthen heritage sites.
Beyond its status as a tourist destination, the Great Wall has great cultural significance, which is why the biocrusts preserving it are so important, said study coauthor Bo Xiao, a professor from China Agricultural University.
12. What do the underlined words “a natural line of defense” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The protective role of biocrusts. B. The deep research into biocrusts.
C. The cultural value of the Great Wall. D. The poor protection of the Great Wall.
13. How did the researchers confirm the beneficial effects of biocrusts?
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By measuring the scale of biocrusts.
C. By comparing the collected samples. D. By analyzing the secretions of biocrusts.
14. What is implied in Emmanuel Salifu’s words?
A. The bright future of plant engineering.
B. International recognition of the current study.
C. The growing seriousness of global climate change.
D. Possibilities for applying biotechnology to biocrusts.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. A “living skin” is protecting the Great Wall
B. A “living skin” is forming on the Great Wall
C. Biocrusts play a key role in scientific studies
D. Biocrusts show their powerful ability to survive

【答案】范文
Hi everyone,
This is Li Hua. I understand our recent dilemma about whether to use AI for our drama appreciation paper. Personally, I believe AI can be a useful tool, offering insights and structured frameworks. However, it should complement, not replace, our own analysis and understanding.
My suggestion is to use AI for research assistance, gathering relevant information and sources. We can then discuss and analyze these findings ourselves, ensuring our paper reflects our unique perspectives and understanding of the drama. Let’s meet tomorrow to outline our plan and assign tasks accordingly.
Best regards,
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。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy would ask for: a cell phone. I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when the time came for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!”
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh, which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced while they were busy preparing for the vacation.
My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite.
I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelled of trees. But that didn’t matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 左右;
请按如下格式作答。
When we finally arrived at the campsite, I stepped out of the car with a long face.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning I was woken up by soft rays of the sun.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When we finally arrived at the campsite, I stepped out of the car with a long face. My phone showed no signal, and I felt like I was cut off from the world. Dad noticed my disappointment and said, “This is a chance to enjoy nature.” I reluctantly followed them, setting up the tent. As I walked around, I began to notice the beauty of the forest. The tall trees and the sound of birds made me feel a bit better. Maybe this trip wouldn’t be so bad after all.
The next morning I was woken up by soft rays of the sun. I opened my eyes and saw the golden light filtering through the trees. The air was fresh, and I felt a sense of peace. Dad was already up, cooking breakfast. We sat around the fire, sharing stories and laughing. I realized that without my phone, I was more connected to my family and nature. This trip taught me that sometimes, disconnecting can help us reconnect with what truly matters.
【解析】
【导语】本文以父母给我买了一部手机之后发生的故事为线索展开,讲述了我如何沉迷手机,忽视了身边的世界。直到一次去森林露营的暑假旅行,一家人来到了森林,手机没有信号,我备感失望。父亲利用这个机会教导我多关注身边的人与世界。在与自然和家人共度的时光中,我也懂得了有时放下科技设备,能够让人更接近真正重要的事物——自然与亲情。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我们终于到达露营地时,我一脸不情愿地下了车。”可知,第一段可描写主人公下车后因森林中手机无信号而不得不参与家人的活动,并观察到的情况。
②由第二段首句内容“第二知早上,我被柔和的阳光唤醒了。”可知,第二段可描写主人公醒来后发现周围的美好和感受。
2.续写线索:手机无信号——失望——父亲引导——不情愿参与家人活动——感受到自然之美——被阳光唤醒——与家人共度好时光——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①注意:notice/take notice of
②搭建:set up/put up
③四处走动:walk around/wander around/stroll around
情绪类
①失望、沮丧:disappointment/dismay
②一丝平静:a sense of peace/a sense of calmness
【点睛】[高分句型1] As I walked around, I began to notice the beauty of the forest. (由As引导时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] I realized that without my phone, I was more connected to my family and nature. (由that引导宾语从句)
