Dr Purnima Devi Barman, an Indian wildlife biologist, has been committed to protecting the endangered birds and changing the opinion of villagers. Barman’s love of animals started at age five while she lived with her grandparents by the Brahmaputra River, where she often encountered all sorts of birds coming to the fields and wetlands. Recalling one of the moments that changed her life, Barman said that while she was doing her PhD paper on the greater adjutant stork, she got a call telling her that a villager had cut the nest-tree of adjutant storks and nine chicks fell down. When she communicated with the villager and his neighbours, she was shouted at and laughed at. “The villager was so angry at me for rescuing the birds. One of his neighbours said that ‘we cannot keep it in our backyard. It makes our area very dirty and smelly’,” Barman recalled. But with her tireless effort, she managed to change his views and the villager joined her in protecting the birds. “After that, I experienced the power of the community and decided-to make use of it for stork conservation,” Barman added. She then started the Hargila Army of villagers, especially the network of thousands of families across villages who travel door to door with her in spreading awareness and educating people about stork conservation. “Initially women hesitated to come out and volunteer. But one day, I organized a cooking contest and scores of people participated and that’s how all our gatherings revolved (围绕) around stork conservation and restoring their ecosystem. Slowly and gradually, we increased the network, and now we are saving many other endangered species,” Barman said. 4. What has led to the decrease of the storks in Assam? A. The attack of diseases. B. High demand for wood. C. Villagers’ negative attitude. D. Ignorance of their situation: 5. What drove Barman to found “the Hargila Army of villagers”? A. Her bird-watching experience. B. Her PhD study on the bird. C. Her effort to prevent tree cutting. D. Her communication with a villager. 6. How did Barman involve women at first? A. By visiting them door to door. B. By organising a cooking contest: C. By giving away food to them. D. By hosting voluntary activities. 7. What can we learn about Barman from her deeds? A. She strives to preserve wildlife. B. She values diverse views. C. She prioritises academic education. D. She cares about villagers’ welfare. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了印度野生生物学家普尔尼玛·德维·巴曼博士对于大秃鹳的保护工作。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the world’s rarest birds, the greater adjutant stork (大秃鹳), known locally as the Hargila was once considered “disease carrier” and “ugly” by the villagers in Assam who would destroy their nests. (世界上最稀有的鸟类之一，大秃鹳，在当地被称为哈吉拉，曾经被阿萨姆邦的村民认为是“疾病携带者”和“丑陋的”，他们会摧毁它们的巢穴。)”可知，村民的消极态度导致了大秃鹳的减少。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recalling one of the moments that changed her life, Barman said that while she was doing her PhD paper on the greater adjutant stork, she got a call telling her that a villager had cut the nest-tree of adjutant storks and nine chicks fell down. When she communicated with the villager and his neighbours, she was shouted at and laughed at. “The villager was so angry at me for rescuing the birds. One of his neighbours said that ‘we cannot keep it in our backyard. It makes our area very dirty and smelly’,” Barman recalled. (回忆起改变她一生的一个时刻，巴曼说，当她正在写关于大秃鹳的博士论文时，她接到一个电话，告诉她一个村民砍倒了大秃鹳的巢树，九只小鸡掉了下来。当她与村民和他的邻居交流时，她被大声呵斥和嘲笑。“村民对我救了这些鸟很生气。他的一个邻居说：‘我们不能把它养在后院。它使我们的区域非常肮脏和难闻’，”巴曼回忆道。)”可知，和一个村民的交流驱使巴曼成立了“哈吉拉村民军”。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But one day, I organized a cooking contest and scores of people participated and that’s how all our gatherings revolved (围绕) around stork conservation and restoring their ecosystem. (但是有一天，我组织了一场烹饪比赛，很多人参加了比赛，我们所有的聚会都围绕着保护鹳和恢复它们的生态系统展开。)”可知，巴曼一开始通过组织烹饪比赛让女人参与进来。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Dr Purnima Devi Barman, an Indian wildlife biologist, has been committed to protecting the endangered birds and changing the opinion of villagers. (印度野生生物学家普尔尼玛·德维·巴曼博士一直致力于保护濒危鸟类，并改变村民的看法。)”以及倒数第二段“She then started the Hargila Army of villagers, especially the network of thousands of families across villages who travel door to door with her in spreading awareness and educating people about stork conservation. (然后，她成立了“哈吉拉村民军”，特别是由数千个家庭组成的网络，他们和她一起挨家挨户地传播鹳的保护意识，教育人们。)”可知，巴曼努力保护野生动物。故选A。 C Some Virginia Tech researchers have developed a new method for upcycling plastics into high-value chemicals to create soaps, cleaners, and more. Plastics and soaps seemingly have little in common, but there is a surprising connection between the two on a molecular (分子的) level: The chemical structure of polyethylene — one of the most commonly used plastics — is strikingly similar to that of a fatty acid, which is used in making soap. Guoliang Liu, an associate professor of chemistry at Virginia Tech, believed the similarity meant polyethylene could be turned into fatty acids and eventually soap with a few extra steps. The challenge was how to break a long polyethylene chain (链) into many short — but not too short — chains and how to do it efficiently. Liu, along with two PhD chemistry students Zhen Xu and Eric Munyaneza, built a small, oven-like reactor where they could heat polyethylene. The lower part of the reactor reaches a high temperature to break the long chains, while the upper part is cooled to a low enough temperature to prevent further breakdown. After that, they gathered the leftover and found that Liu’s assumption had been right: It was composed of “short-chain polyethylene,” or more precisely, waxes (蜡). This was the first step in developing a method for upcycling plastics into soap. One of the exciting features of Liu’s new upcycling method is that it can be used on both polyethylene and polypropylene, meaning that it’s not necessary to separate the two plastics from each other. This is a major advantage over some recycling methods used today. The upcycling technique also requires only plastic and heat, making it cost-effective with minimal environmental impact. Liu advised being careful, though. This method is just one part of a larger solution to the global plastic pollution crisis and a joint effort is needed between the research and industrial communities. “The best way to avoid plastic pollution is to minimise the use of plastics,” said Liu. 8. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To stress the challenge. B. To explain the process. C. To present the significance. D. To introduce the assumption. 9. How does the upcycling process work? A. By heating plastics intensively. B. By mixing a chemical with plastics. C. By breaking down plastics in a reactor. D. By collecting the leftover to make waxes: 10. What makes this upcycling method stand out? A. Simple processing. B. Zero-waste practice. C. Potential market value. D. Low-energy consumption. 11. What is the best title for this passage? A. Plastic Waste, Precious Products B. From Waste to Wash C Fighting Pollution with Innovation D. Saying No to Plastics. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了弗吉尼亚理工大学的研究人员开发的一种将塑料升级转化为高价值化学品，用以制造肥皂、清洁剂等的新方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Plastics and soaps seemingly have little in common, but there is a surprising connection between the two on a molecular (分子的) level: The chemical structure of polyethylene — one of the most commonly used plastics — is strikingly similar to that of a fatty acid, which is used in making soap. Guoliang Liu, an associate professor of chemistry at Virginia Tech, believed the similarity meant polyethylene could be turned into fatty acids and eventually soap with a few extra steps. The challenge was how to break a long polyethylene chain (链) into many short-but not too short-chains and how to do it efficiently.(塑料和肥皂似乎没有什么共同之处，但在分子水平上两者之间有着惊人的联系：聚乙烯(最常用的塑料之一)的化学结构与用于制造肥皂的脂肪酸惊人地相似。弗吉尼亚理工大学化学副教授刘国良认为，这种相似性意味着聚乙烯可以通过几个额外的步骤转化为脂肪酸，最终转化为肥皂。挑战在于如何将一条长聚乙烯链(简称“聚乙烯链”)断裂成许多短链，但又不能太短，以及如何高效地完成这一过程)”可知，本段主要介绍了Guoliang Liu教授的一个假设，即聚乙烯可以转化为脂肪酸，最终转化为肥皂。故本段的主要目的是介绍这个假设。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Liu, along with two PhD chemistry students Zhen Xu and Eric Munyaneza, built a small, oven-like reactor where they could heat polyethylene. The lower part of the reactor reaches a high temperature to break the long chains, while the upper part is cooled to a low enough temperature to prevent further breakdown.(刘与两名化学专业博士生徐震和穆尼亚内扎一起建造了一个小型烤箱式反应器，可以在其中加热聚乙烯。反应器的下部达到高温以断裂长链，而上部则冷却到足够低的温度以防止进一步分解)”可知，升级转化过程是通过在反应器中分解塑料来进行的。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The upcycling technique also requires only plastic and heat, making it cost-effective with minimal environmental impact.(这种升级转化技术只需要塑料和热量，因此具有成本效益，且对环境影响最小)”可推知，这种升级转化方法的突出之处在于其加工过程简单，只需塑料和热量。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Some Virginia Tech researchers have developed a new method for upcycling plastics into high-value chemicals to create soaps, cleaners, and more.(弗吉尼亚理工大学的一些研究人员开发了一种新方法，可以将塑料升级转化为高价值化学品，用以制造肥皂、清洁剂等)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种将塑料废物转化为洗涤用品(如肥皂)的新方法。故B项“From Waste to Wash(从废物到洗涤用品)”最适合作文章标题。故选B项。 D Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming — or help students get started on tough math problems. But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. A 2024 study of nearly 1,000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz. Some relied on traditional methods — consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers — while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT. The results were a success of technology — until they weren’t. Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded. When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.” But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren’t out of the game. In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. AI is making rapid progress, but isn’t a threat to replace teachers. For now, it’s only as smart as its human makers. 12. What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots? A. They are not aware of how AI chatbots work. B. They lack the ability to employ AI effectively. C. They are incapable of improving AI chatbots. D. They refuse to take their own responsibility. 13. How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods? A. Basic GPT users performed best during the practices. B. Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test. C. Basic GPT users’ performance dropped during the test. D. Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices. 14. What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in paragraph 3? A. A device to help people walk. B. A strategy to deepen learning. C. A tool to improve math skills. D. A shortcut to find quick answers. 15. What are AI tools expected to do in education setting? A. Enhance students’ thinking ability. B. Follow AI designers’ instructions. C. Give in-depth answers instantly. D. Replace traditional teaching methods. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在教育环境中使用AI聊天机器人(如ChatGPT)的利弊，指出学生在使用AI时存在的问题，并通过一项研究揭示了AI辅助学习可能带来的风险，同时也强调了AI在正确引导学生学习方面的潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. (但许多教师表示，他们的学生缺乏改进AI生成内容的能力，或者缺乏成熟度和自我意识，无法分辨AI的工作在哪里结束，自己的责任从哪里开始)”可知，学生在使用AI聊天机器人时缺乏改进AI生成内容的能力，不知道哪里该自己负责，由此推知，他们缺乏有效使用人工智能的能力。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. (在练习中，使用基础版和辅导版GPT的学生分别比同龄人高出48%和127%，但当这些学生在随后的闭卷测试中从记忆中回忆信息时，他们的数学技能却消失了。使用过基础版ChatGPT的学生的测试成绩下降得如此之快，以至于比那些依赖纸笔的同龄人低了17%)”可知，在练习中使用GPT的学生在后续测试中表现下降，尤其是基础版GPT用户的表现下降明显。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and often skipped straight to the answer”(并且经常直接跳到答案)和“When applied at key moments, the technology actually ‘runs the risk of blocking learning.’ (在关键时刻应用时，这项技术实际上“有阻碍学习的风险”)”可推知，“crutch”在文中是比喻用法，指学生将AI聊天机器人作为“避免自主思考、快速获取答案的捷径”，而非真正辅助学习的工具。故划线词意思是“寻找快速答案的捷径”，与“A shortcut to find quick answers.”同义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. (在几项研究中，当这些工具被设计成引导学生学习时，它们表现良好，例如，拒绝给出答案，或者提出深入的后续问题)”可知，当AI工具被设计成引导学生学习时表现良好。由此推知，在教育环境中AI工具被期望能够引导学生思考，增强他们的思维能力。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 It’s well understood that humour can have powerful impacts on both our physical and mental health. ___16___ To better understand which types of humour promote mental wellness, and which forms may be actively harmful, psychologist Rod Martin broke humour down into four styles. Affiliative (有亲和力的) humour refers to jokes about things that everyone might find funny. ___17___ The types of jokes told by comedians like Jerry Seinfeld represent this sort of humour. If you’ve ever bantered (调侃) with a coworker or among your friends, you’ve used affiliative humour. ___18___ It’s often used as a way to deal with stress or hardship and feel better as a result. Jon Stewart from the Daily Show often uses self-enhancing humour by saying things such as, “Maybe I just don’t understand,” or “I’m not the brightest guy.” Aggressive (好斗的) humour is laughing at the expense of others. This is the humour that is used by more aggressive comedians, such as Don Rickles or the late Joan Rivers. Some of the audience to this type of humour will find it funny. ___19___ Self-defeating humour is the art of putting yourself down to gain approval from others. The late comedian Rodney Dangerfield would be an example. People who use self-defeating humor may try to make themselves appear more socially acceptable, but it can have the opposite effect and cause people to distance themselves from them. ___20___ And it is sometimes used to try to avoid attacks-making oneself the target of jokes before others put you down. A. It is employed to facilitate relationships. B. It is capable of turning anxiety into pleasure. C. Yet not all types of humour have the same effect. D. Self-enhancing humour can raise one’s confidence. E. So this can be an unhealthy form of humour psychologically. F. Self-enhancing humour involves being able to laugh at yourself. G. However, others might laugh to cover up a feeling of discomfort. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种幽默风格，包括其特点及对心理健康的影响，探讨不同幽默类型的作用。 【16题详解】 由上文“It’s well understood that humour can have powerful impacts on both our physical and mental health.(众所周知，幽默对我们的身心健康都有强大的影响)”可知，幽默对身心健康有影响，后文“To better understand which types of humour promote mental wellness, and which forms may be actively harmful, psychologist Rod Martin broke humour down into four styles.(为了更好地理解哪些类型的幽默能促进心理健康，哪些形式可能有积极的危害，心理学家罗德・马丁将幽默分为四种类型)”表明不同类型幽默效果不同，C项“Yet not all types of humour have the same effect.(然而，并非所有类型的幽默都有相同的效果)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用，引出下文对不同类型幽默的阐述。故选C项。 【17题详解】 由上文“Affiliative (有亲和力的) humour refers to jokes about things that everyone might find funny.(亲和型幽默指的是关于每个人可能都觉得有趣的事情的笑话)”介绍了亲和型幽默，A项“It is employed to facilitate relationships.(它被用来促进人际关系)”进一步说明这种幽默的作用，It指代上文的Affiliative humour，符合语境，且与后文提到在同事和朋友间使用这种幽默相呼应。故选A项。 【18题详解】 由下文“It’s often used as a way to deal with stress or hardship and feel better as a result. Jon Stewart from the Daily Show often uses self-enhancing humour by saying things such as, ‘Maybe I just don’t understand,’ or ‘I’m not the brightest guy.’(它通常被用作一种应对压力或困难并因此感觉更好的方式。《每日秀》的乔恩・斯图尔特经常使用自我提升型幽默，比如说‘也许我只是不明白’，或者‘我不是最聪明的人’)”可知，这里在介绍自我提升型幽默，F项“Self-enhancing humour involves being able to laugh at yourself.(自我提升型幽默包括能够自嘲)”符合语境，引出下文对自我提升型幽默的具体说明。故选F项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Aggressive (好斗的) humour is laughing at the expense of others. This is the humour that is used by more aggressive comedians, such as Don Rickles or the late Joan Rivers. Some of the audience to this type of humour will find it funny.(攻击性幽默是以牺牲他人为代价的嘲笑。这是像唐・里克斯或已故的琼・里弗斯这样更具攻击性的喜剧演员所使用的幽默。这类幽默的一些观众会觉得它有趣)”介绍了攻击性幽默及部分观众的反应，G项“However, others might laugh to cover up a feeling of discomfort.(然而，其他人可能会笑来掩盖不舒服的感觉)”与上文形成对比，说明另一些观众对这种幽默的反应，However表转折，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 由上文“People who use self-defeating humor may try to make themselves appear more socially acceptable, but it can have the opposite effect and cause people to distance themselves from them.(使用自我贬低型幽默的人可能试图让自己在社交上更容易被接受，但这可能会产生相反的效果，导致人们与他们保持距离)”表明自我贬低型幽默可能带来不好的结果，E项“So this can be an unhealthy form of humour psychologically.(所以从心理角度看，这可能是一种不健康的幽默形式)”对上文进行总结，this指代上文自我贬低型幽默带来的不良影响，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C和D：四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Olympic track and field athlete and marathon runner Marla Runyan was born in 1969 in California.

It was easy and quick, and before long, he forgot about it all. But as time passed, the mess under his bed grew into a mountain. Clothes, books, broken toys, and forgotten snacks had all found their way to his secret hiding spot. One evening, his mom called from downstairs. “Gail, can you come down here, please?” Gail sighed. He knew what was coming. His mom had asked him countless times to clean his room, but he always promised he’d do it later. Now, he couldn’t ignore it anymore. When he walked into the living room, his mom gave him that look — the one that told him he was in trouble. “Gail,” she began, “your room is getting out of control. I know it’s easy to just stuff things under the bed, but you’re not organising anything. You’re hiding the mess.” Gail frowned (皱眉). “But Mom, I don’t know where to put it all. If I clean it up, it’ll just get messy again.” His mom’s face softened. “I understand. But when you keep everything hidden, you can’t find what you really need. You end up feeling more frustrated (沮丧的), and the mess keeps growing.” Just then, Grandma Rose, who had been visiting for the day, walked in. She had a warm smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. “I hear someone needs a little help with organising,” she said, sitting down beside Gail. Gail nodded, looking down at his hands. “I don’t know how to keep it tidy. It feels like too much work.” Grandma smiled gently. “Well, when I was young, I used to put my things in piles (堆), much like you do now. But one day, I realised something: my things weren’t helping me when they were just piled up. They were getting in the way of what I wanted to do. So, I decided to find a better way.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gail’s eyes lit up with curiosity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, they took the pile of things they had gathered to a local charity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Gail’s eyes lit up with curiosity. “What did you do, Grandma?” he asked eagerly, his voice filled with wonder. Grandma smiled and nodded. “Well, I sorted through my things, kept what mattered, and gave the rest to charity.” As Grandma spoke, excitement grew within Gail. Feeling inspired, he stood up. “I want to do that too!” With that, he started by clearing everything under the bed. Under Grandma’s guidance, he began to sort through the pile, piece by piece and then categorised it into things to keep, donate, and throw away. Slowly, the mess faded away and the room started to take shape. The next day, they took the pile of things they had gathered to a local charity. As they handed over the things, the warm smile of the volunteers made Gail’s heart swell with a mix of emotions — relief, pride, and a new sense of responsibility. “It feels good to help others,” he said quietly when they drove back. Looking at the tidy and neat room, Gail realised that keeping things organised can bring joy, not just to himself, but to others as well. From then on, Gail made sure to put his things in the right place and only keep what he truly needed. Cleaning up didn’t feel like such a big task anymore. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物的成长为线索展开，讲述了10岁的Gail总把东西扔到床底，房间杂乱无章，妈妈为此批评他，他表示不知如何整理。来拜访的Rose奶奶听说后，分享自己曾也如此，后通过整理、捐赠等让物品变得井然有序。Gail受到鼓舞开始整理自己的杂物，还和奶奶将物品捐给慈善机构，他觉得帮助别人的感觉非常好，此后学会整理物品，打扫不再是难事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Gail的眼睛充满了好奇”可知，第一段可描写Rose奶奶和Gail分享自己处理杂物的故事，Gail受到鼓舞也行动起来，整理自己的杂物。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，他们把收集到的那堆东西捐给了当地的一家慈善机构”可知，第二段可描写Gail在捐赠的过程中体会到美好的感觉，意识到整理东西不仅能让自己快乐，还能帮助他人，从那以后可以把自己的东西放得井井有条。 2. 续写线索：Gail好奇——Rose奶奶分享故事——Gail受到激励，整理东西——Gail和Rose奶奶去捐赠东西——Gail体会到美好——Gail的感悟及改变 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①重要：matter/count/weigh ②分类：categorise/classify ③消失：fade away/disappear/vanish ④意识到：realise/recognize 情绪类 ①迫切地：eagerly/avidly/enthusiastically ②兴奋：excitement/thrill/exhilaration ③高兴：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Well, I sorted through my things, kept what mattered, and gave the rest to charity.

B One of the world’s rarest birds, the greater adjutant stork (大秃鹳), known locally as the Hargila was once considered “disease carrier” and “ugly” by the villagers in Assam who would destroy their nests. Dr Purnima Devi Barman, an Indian wildlife biologist, has been committed to protecting the endangered birds and changing the opinion of villagers. Barman’s love of animals started at age five while she lived with her grandparents by the Brahmaputra River, where she often encountered all sorts of birds coming to the fields and wetlands. Recalling one of the moments that changed her life, Barman said that while she was doing her PhD paper on the greater adjutant stork, she got a call telling her that a villager had cut the nest-tree of adjutant storks and nine chicks fell down. When she communicated with the villager and his neighbours, she was shouted at and laughed at. “The villager was so angry at me for rescuing the birds. One of his neighbours said that ‘we cannot keep it in our backyard. It makes our area very dirty and smelly’,” Barman recalled. But with her tireless effort, she managed to change his views and the villager joined her in protecting the birds. “After that, I experienced the power of the community and decided-to make use of it for stork conservation,” Barman added. She then started the Hargila Army of villagers, especially the network of thousands of families across villages who travel door to door with her in spreading awareness and educating people about stork conservation. “Initially women hesitated to come out and volunteer. But one day, I organized a cooking contest and scores of people participated and that’s how all our gatherings revolved (围绕) around stork conservation and restoring their ecosystem. Slowly and gradually, we increased the network, and now we are saving many other endangered species,” Barman said. 4 What has led to the decrease of the storks in Assam? A. The attack of diseases. B. High demand for wood. C. Villagers’ negative attitude. D. Ignorance of their situation: 5. What drove Barman to found “the Hargila Army of villagers”? A. Her bird-watching experience. B. Her PhD study on the bird. C. Her effort to prevent tree cutting. D. Her communication with a villager. 6. How did Barman involve women at first? A. By visiting them door to door. B. By organising a cooking contest: C. By giving away food to them. D. By hosting voluntary activities. 7. What can we learn about Barman from her deeds? A. She strives to preserve wildlife. B. She values diverse views. C. She prioritises academic education. D. She cares about villagers’ welfare. C Some Virginia Tech researchers have developed a new method for upcycling plastics into high-value chemicals to create soaps, cleaners, and more. Plastics and soaps seemingly have little in common, but there is a surprising connection between the two on a molecular (分子的) level: The chemical structure of polyethylene — one of the most commonly used plastics — is strikingly similar to that of a fatty acid, which is used in making soap. Guoliang Liu, an associate professor of chemistry at Virginia Tech, believed the similarity meant polyethylene could be turned into fatty acids and eventually soap with a few extra steps. The challenge was how to break a long polyethylene chain (链) into many short — but not too short — chains and how to do it efficiently. Liu, along with two PhD chemistry students Zhen Xu and Eric Munyaneza, built a small, oven-like reactor where they could heat polyethylene. The lower part of the reactor reaches a high temperature to break the long chains, while the upper part is cooled to a low enough temperature to prevent further breakdown. After that, they gathered the leftover and found that Liu’s assumption had been right: It was composed of “short-chain polyethylene,” or more precisely, waxes (蜡). This was the first step in developing a method for upcycling plastics into soap. One of the exciting features of Liu’s new upcycling method is that it can be used on both polyethylene and polypropylene, meaning that it’s not necessary to separate the two plastics from each other. This is a major advantage over some recycling methods used today. The upcycling technique also requires only plastic and heat, making it cost-effective with minimal environmental impact. Liu advised being careful, though. This method is just one part of a larger solution to the global plastic pollution crisis and a joint effort is needed between the research and industrial communities. “The best way to avoid plastic pollution is to minimise the use of plastics,” said Liu. 8. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To stress the challenge. B. To explain the process. C. To present the significance. D. To introduce the assumption. 9. How does the upcycling process work? A. By heating plastics intensively. B. By mixing a chemical with plastics. C. By breaking down plastics in a reactor. D. By collecting the leftover to make waxes: 10. What makes this upcycling method stand out? A. Simple processing. B. Zero-waste practice. C. Potential market value. D. Low-energy consumption. 11 What is the best title for this passage? A. Plastic Waste, Precious Products B. From Waste to Wash C. Fighting Pollution with Innovation D. Saying No to Plastics. D Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming — or help students get started on tough math problems. But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. A 2024 study of nearly 1,000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz. Some relied on traditional methods — consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers — while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT. The results were a success of technology — until they weren’t. Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded. When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.” But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren’t out of the game. In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. AI is making rapid progress, but isn’t a threat to replace teachers. For now, it’s only as smart as its human makers. 12. What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots? A. They are not aware of how AI chatbots work. B. They lack the ability to employ AI effectively. C. They are incapable of improving AI chatbots. D. They refuse to take their own responsibility. 13. How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods? A. Basic GPT users performed best during the practices. B. Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test. C. Basic GPT users’ performance dropped during the test. D. Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices. 14. What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in paragraph 3? A. A device to help people walk. B. A strategy to deepen learning. C. A tool to improve math skills. D. A shortcut to find quick answers. 15. What are AI tools expected to do in education setting? A. Enhance students’ thinking ability. B. Follow AI designers’ instructions. C. Give in-depth answers instantly. D. Replace traditional teaching methods. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 It’s well understood that humour can have powerful impacts on both our physical and mental health. ___16___ To better understand which types of humour promote mental wellness and which forms may be actively harmful, psychologist Rod Martin broke humour down into four styles.

It was easy and quick, and before long, he forgot about it all. But as time passed, the mess under his bed grew into a mountain. Clothes, books, broken toys, and forgotten snacks had all found their way to his secret hiding spot. One evening, his mom called from downstairs. “Gail, can you come down here, please?” Gail sighed. He knew what was coming. His mom had asked him countless times to clean his room, but he always promised he’d do it later. Now, he couldn’t ignore it anymore. When he walked into the living room, his mom gave him that look — the one that told him he was in trouble. “Gail,” she began, “your room is getting out of control. I know it’s easy to just stuff things under the bed, but you’re not organising anything. You’re hiding the mess.” Gail frowned (皱眉). “But Mom, I don’t know where to put it all. If I clean it up, it’ll just get messy again.” His mom’s face softened. “I understand. But when you keep everything hidden, you can’t find what you really need. You end up feeling more frustrated (沮丧的), and the mess keeps growing.” Just then, Grandma Rose, who had been visiting for the day, walked in. She had a warm smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. “I hear someone needs a little help with organising,” she said, sitting down beside Gail. Gail nodded, looking down at his hands. “I don’t know how to keep it tidy. It feels like too much work.” Grandma smiled gently. “Well, when I was young, I used to put my things in piles (堆), much like you do now. But one day, I realised something: my things weren’t helping me when they were just piled up. They were getting in the way of what I wanted to do. So, I decided to find a better way.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gail’s eyes lit up with curiosity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, they took the pile of things they had gathered to a local charity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ABCAB 6—10 ACBAC 11—15 CACBA 16—20 ABCBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
