Two teenagers were rescued from a lake in Colby at ten o’clock a. m. this morning. The two 13-year-old teenagers got into difficulty while swimming. They were saved by a woman who was passing by while walking her dog. It is reported that more than 10 people have died in the water since the current heat wave began. With temperatures of up to 40℃ in some places, more and more people are visiting coasts, lakes and rivers. This leads to more and more water safety accidents. Officials from the International Safety Charity are asking people to take care when swimming in the heat. Swimmers should avoid lakes and rivers. They can choose swimming pools and safe beaches because there are lifeguards. They should also enter the water slowly, particularly during the current heat wave.

【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“We want financial competence to be a part of your life. The more you know, and the more tools you have, the better prepared you will be for life at and beyond Harvard.(我们希望财务能力成为你生活的一部分。你知道的越多,拥有的工具越多,你就会为哈佛内外的生活做好更充分的准备)”可知,该校想要帮助学生具备更强的财务能力,以更好应对校园和社会生活,因此,本文是为了帮助大学生做好财务管理。故选B。
B
From Beijing, more than 400 kilometers away, all the way up north, the temperature gradually drops. With the emergence of fire prevention warnings, Saihanba (塞罕坝), known as a “miracle on earth”, begins to come into view. In October, the cold wind blowing from Siberia has dyed (染色) Saihanba golden.
In Mongolian, Saihanba means beautiful high mountains. However, Saihanba was a desert of “yellow sand covering the sky and flying birds without inhabiting trees” 62 years ago. Whenever the north wind blows, the windy sand located in Inner Mongolia will drive southward, reaching Beijing and Tianjin.
After more than half a century of forest plantation, people who have come to Saihanba can hardly imagine the arid (干旱) scene. Occasionally, a gust of wind passes by, and they would just sigh and shout how strong the wind is, but they would not feel sandblasted (喷砂).
On Oct 9, watchmen Liu Jun and Wang Juan were observing the surrounding forest area on a watchtower in Saihanba Forest Farm in Hebei province. Liu is in charge of the observation and Wang keeps recording.
“Spring and autumn are the critical fire prevention periods for our forest farm. We need to stay here for three months, have three meals a day, work and live in the building,” says Liu Jun, who has been engaged in observation for 13 years. Simple as it looks, the job is quite the burden on their shoulders. Only by enjoying loneliness can they keep this forest safe and sound.
Saihanba today is not only a “green Great Wall” for windbreak and sand fixation (固化), but also a timber (林木) source. Many people would doubt why the trees that have grown up here are to be cut down in a planned way. Liu explains that most of the trees here are planted forest, and the forest species are relatively single, unlike natural forests that can adapt on their own and survive the fittest. The selective cutting of plantation forests is more like thinning when farmers plant crops. Only in this way can the nutrient area be expanded and diseased plants also be removed to ensure the healthy development of the forest areas.
24. What can be learned about Saihanba from the first three paragraphs?
A. It is suffering from a cold wind. B. It is weathering a sandstorm.
C Its desertification is under control. D. Its climate is beyond expectation.
25. Which of the following best describes the watchmen?
A. Bored but attentive. B. Lonely but committed.
C. Tired but engaged. D. Simple but responsible.
26. Why are some trees in Saihanba cut down?
A. To prevent potential fire. B. To study its disease prevention.
C. To promote its biodiversity. D. To ensure its healthy development.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Green Guardian B. The Sand Wasteland
C. The Timber Farm D. The Golden Miracle
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,文章记录了塞罕坝60余年来防沙固沙、植树造林的成果、相关工作人员付出的艰辛、以及当前它可被作为林木资源的原因。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“After more than half a century of forest plantation, people who have come to Saihanba can hardly imagine the arid (干旱) scene. Occasionally, a gust of wind passes by, and they would just sigh and shout how strong the wind is, but they would not feel sandblasted (喷砂). (经过半个多世纪的森林种植,来到塞罕坝的人很难想象那里干旱的景象。偶尔,一阵风吹过,他们只是叹息,呼叫着着风有多强,但他们不会感到被喷砂。)”可知,经过半个多世纪的森林种植,狂风吹过时,不会有面部被喷砂的感觉,由此推断沙尘减少,沙漠化得到控制。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““Spring and autumn are the critical fire prevention periods for our forest farm. We need to stay here for three months, have three meals a day, work and live in the building,” says Liu Jun, who has been engaged in observation for 13 years. Simple as it looks, the job is quite the burden on their shoulders. Only by enjoying loneliness can they keep this forest safe and sound. (“春季和秋季是我们林场防火的关键时期。我们需要在这里呆三个月,每天吃三顿饭,在这里工作和生活,”从事观测工作13年的刘军说。这项工作虽然看起来很简单,但对他们来说却是个不小的负担。只有享受孤独,他们才能保持这片森林的安全。)”可知,守护林场的守望者在林场防火的关键时期需要呆3个月,这项工作简单但任务艰巨,所以这些守望者是孤独但坚定的。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The selective cutting of plantation forests is more like thinning when farmers plant crops. Only in this way can the nutrient area be expanded and diseased plants also be removed to ensure the healthy development of the forest areas. (对人工林的选择性砍伐更像是农民种植作物时的间伐。只有这样,才能扩大营养面积,也才能清除病株,保证林区的健康发展。)”可知,Saihanba的一些树被砍倒是为了确保其健康发展。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第二段“In Mongolian, Saihanba means beautiful high mountains. However, Saihanba was a desert of “yellow sand covering the sky and flying birds without inhabiting trees” 62 years ago. (在蒙古语中,塞罕坝的意思是美丽的高山。62年前,塞罕坝是一片“黄沙遮天,鸟飞无树”的沙漠。)”,第三段“After more than half a century of forest plantation, people who have come to Saihanba can hardly imagine the arid (干旱) scene. (经过半个多世纪的森林种植,来到塞罕坝的人很难想象那里干旱的景象。)”可知,文章讲述塞罕坝现已改善了沙漠化,变成美丽的绿洲,塞罕坝是绿色守护者,同时这些护林员也同样是绿色守护者,因此文章最好的标题是“绿色卫士”,一语双关。故选A。
C
In the vast digital landscape, Google stands as a towering giant of innovation and creativity. Among its many offerings, one stands out for its ability to charm, educate, and celebrate the diversity of human culture—the Google Doodle (涂鸦). This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language.
The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine. The first Google Doodle, created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man Festival, was the start of a tradition that has since become known for its creativity, diversity and user engagement.
Each Google Doodle is a masterpiece, designed and published by any doodler online to bring out the certain theme every year. From paying respect to literary greats like Mark Twain and Dickens to marking key moments in worldwide history, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Google Doodles show the global influence of English and colorful cultural roots.
One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression. Many Doodles include clever wordplay, literary quotes, and historical references, encouraging users to explore the events and celebrities more deeply. For example, a Doodle celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare might show famous quotes from his plays, inviting users to dive into the rich world of Elizabethan literature.
In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs, and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. It serves as a bridge connecting the digital world with human emotions and memories, making every search a potential discovery of beauty and meaning.

D
Virtually all living things have some way of getting from here to there. Animals may walk, swim, or fly. Plants and their seeds drift (飘) on wind or water or are carried by animals. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that, in time, all species might spread to every place on Earth where favorable conditions occur. Indeed, there are some cosmopolitan species. A good example is the housefly, found almost everywhere on Earth. However, such broad distribution (分布) is the rare exception. Just as wire fences prevent cattle from leaving their grassland, biological barriers prevent the spread of many species.
What forms barriers depends on the species and its method of spread. Some are physical barriers, like waters or mountains for the land animals, and strong currents for aquatic (水生) creatures. Some barriers involve competition with other species. Most places that are suitable for the growth of a newcomer, say a dandelion seedling (蒲公英幼苗), are already occupied by other types of plants that are well adapted to the area. Facing such fierce competition, the chances of survival for the immigrant are slim.
There are also some types of natural pathways through which organisms can overcome barriers. One type is called a corridor. It consists of a single type of habitat that passes through various other types of habitat. North America’s Rocky Mountains is an example. Various types of trees such as the Engelmann spruce, can be found not only at the northern end of the corridor in Alaska but also at higher altitude along the entire length of this corridor.
Another type of natural pathway is known as a filter route. It consists of a series of habitats that are different from one another but are similar enough to permit organisms to gradually adapt to new conditions as they spread from habitat to habitat. The greatest difference between a corridor and a filter route is that a corridor consists of one type of habitat, while a filter consists of several similar types.
32. What does the underlined word “cosmopolitan” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Worldwide. B. Ordinary. C. Famous. D. Ancient.
33. How does the author explain biological barriers in paragraph 1?
A. By providing examples of them.
B. By describing the forming process of them.
C. By comparing them with a familiar man-made barrier.
D. By explaining how houseflies have been affected by them.
34. What limits the chances of survival for dandelion seedlings?
A. The danger of strong winds. B. The lack of a suitable habitat.
C. Inadaptation to the new areas. D. Competition with native species.
35. What is the essential difference between a corridor and a filter route?
A. The number of habitat categories. B. The speed to adapt to new conditions.
C. The distance from one end to the other. D. The species spread through the routes.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是动植物传播的不同屏障和通道,涉及较多实例和概念比较。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后句“A good example is the housefly, found almost everywhere on Earth.(家蝇就是一个很好的例子,地球上几乎到处都有家蝇。)”可知,有一些物种是广布普遍的。所以划线词cosmopolitan为“广布普遍的”,与worldwide意思相近。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段尾句“Just as wire fences prevent cattle from leaving their grassland, biological barriers prevent the spread of many species.(就像铁丝栅栏阻止牛群离开草原一样,生物屏障也阻止了许多物种的传播)”可知,作者将生物屏障与铁栅栏做类比。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Most places that are suitable for the growth of a newcomer, say a dandelion seedling (蒲公英幼苗), are already occupied by other types of plants that are well adapted to the area. Facing such fierce competition, the chances of survival for the immigrant are slim.(大多数适合新植物生长的地方,比如蒲公英幼苗,已经被其他类型的植物占据了,这些植物很好地适应了该地区。面对如此激烈的竞争,移民生存的机会渺茫。)”可知,大多数适宜蒲公英生长的地方已经被其他物种占据,因此有激烈竞争,这使得新物种存活几率有限。故选D。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句话“The greatest difference between a corridor and a filter route is that a corridor consists of one type of habitat, while a filter consists of several similar types.(通道和过滤路线的最大区别在于,通道由一种栖息地组成,而过滤路线由几种相似的栖息地组成)”可知,通道和过滤路线的本质区别在于通道只有一种栖息地类型,而过滤路线可能由几种相近的栖息地类型组成,即栖息地的数量分类。故选A。
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。
These days, it’s not unusual to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.
____36____ One is about adults’ nostalgia (怀旧之情) for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today’s fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. ____37____ Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.
Businesses have been quick to exploit (利用) the kidult trend, and the number of toy stores that target adults has risen. Companies are repackaging products from past decades and also bringing out new ones for adults. ____38____
Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, ____39____ Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly (异常) that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers.

【答案】36. A 37. D 38. G 39. C 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种社会趋势:kidult即成人喜欢儿童相关的玩具和活动等,本文介绍了其成因、商业发展趋势、不同社会评价和作者简要个人观点。
【36题详解】
根据第一段“These days, it’s not unusual to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.( 如今,成年人对玩具、漫画书和传统上与儿童有关的活动感兴趣并不罕见。这种现象产生了一个新词:kidult。)”和下文“One is about adults’ nostalgia (怀旧之情) for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today’s fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later.( 一个是关于成年人对无忧无虑的童年的怀念,尤其是在今天快节奏、紧张的生活方式下。另一个是关于近几十年来的社会变化,人们开始晚婚。)”可知,本段分析了kidult这种现象的两种可能的原因:一是成年人的怀旧之情,二是成家时间较晚。A项“这一现象背后的原因是什么?”符合语境。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later.( 另一个是关于近几十年来的社会变化,人们开始晚婚。)”和下文“Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.(有些成年人小时候只能在橱窗里买他们梦寐以求的玩具,但现在他们可以买得起他们一直想要的遥控汽车或高价娃娃。)”可推断本句与前一句成家较晚是因后果关系,因为成家晚,所以他们有更多时间金钱花在自己身上。与后一句过去买不起的现在能负担得起形成解释说明关系,同时money与afford词义呼应。因此推断D项“因此,他们有更多的时间和金钱花在自己身上。”。故选D。
【38题详解】
本句对前一句“Companies are repackaging products from past decades and also bringing out new ones for adults.(公司正在重新包装过去几十年的产品,并为成年人推出新的产品)”公司重新包装过去的玩具并同时开发给成年人的新玩具解释说明。G选项“例如,乐高推出了一个以世界各地地标为主题的建筑系列。”用举例的方式,对前文进行具体的支撑解释,乐高全世界地标系列就是前句“new ones for adults”的具体实例。故选G。
【39题详解】
本题为半句,根据前文“Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests(传统上,社会不赞成成年人不把童年的兴趣放在一边)”可知,社会传统上不支持那些拒绝放弃儿时兴趣的成年人,可知该句应该填入反对观点,故选项C“认为这种拒绝是社会的不成熟和不负责任。”符合语境。故选C。
【40题详解】
根据前文“From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative.(然而,从kidults的角度来看,这种现象只不过是无害的娱乐。kidults坚持认为,拥有年轻的兴趣爱好能让他们保持年轻、快乐和创造性。)”和下文“The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.(真正的原因包括昂贵的住房、更高的就业教育要求和糟糕的工作机会。)”可推断,本段从kidults视角,认为这一现象没什么大不了,不过是一种无害的乐趣罢了。因此推断F项“此外,他们认为成为这一社会趋势的一部分并不纯粹是个人的选择。”符合语境,与前句形成并列关系,先后从个体和群体两个维度进行阐述,说明这一趋势不仅是个人选择,也与后文进一步补充分析的社会压力大、生活成本高、负担重等有关。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是《新猴王传奇》如何重新诠释经典中国故事,并在澳大利亚和新西兰青少年中引起共鸣。
【56题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:这是由澳大利亚和新西兰与Netflix合作制作的2018年电视剧《新猴王传奇》的背景设定。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词TV series,produce与TV series之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填produced。
【57题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:这个系列重新想象了经典的中国故事,引发了关于其对原故事、角色和设置的重大变化的讨论。此处为非谓语动词作状语,spark与逻辑主语this series之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填sparking。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:这个系列重新想象了经典的中国故事,引发了关于其对原故事、角色和设置的重大变化的讨论。根据前文changes可知,此处用于引导比较的对象,表示“对……的变化”符合句意,所以此处使用介词to。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:僧人三藏由一位女性扮演,她实际上并不是和尚,并希望逃离抚养她的寺院遭受的攻击。此处为谓语动词,根据句意以及全文的语境,此处是对《新猴王传奇》的客观介绍,所以使用一般现在时,play与主语The monk Tripitaka之间为被动关系,且主语为第三人称单数。故填is played。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:僧人三藏由一位女性扮演,她实际上并不是和尚,并希望逃离抚养她的寺院遭受的攻击。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,从句中不缺主语和宾语,所以使用关系副词,先行词monastery,表示地点,所以使用关系副词where。故填where。
【61题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:为了使节目扎根于当地文化,团队特别注重选角,选择了来自不同种族背景的演员。此处为非谓语动词作状语,根据句意,此处表示目的,所以使用动词不定式形式作目的状语,位于句首单词首字母需大写。故填To ground。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:为了使节目扎根于当地文化,团队特别注重选角,选择了来自不同种族背景的演员。此处为名词作宾语,background意为“背景”为可数名词,由于前面有diverse修饰,所以使用名词复数形式。故填backgrounds。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:尽管做出了这些努力,饰演美猴王的泰国裔澳大利亚演员柴·汉森(Chai Hansen)是唯一一位有亚洲血统的主要角色,这一选择受到了一些观众的批评。choice意为“选择”为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一个选择”作同位语,表示泛指意义,且choice的首个音素为辅音,所以使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:该系列还包括比原故事更多的女性代表,其中沙僧和三藏都由女性扮演,后者被描绘成青少年。此处为名词作宾语,represent的名词为representation意为“代表”。故填representation。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然它并没有展示那么多的“中国特色”,但《新猴王传奇》成功地将《西游记》推广给了澳大利亚和新西兰的观众,特别是在青少年中。此处为副词作状语修饰介词短语among teenagers,particular的副词为particularly意为“特别是,尤其”符合句意。故填particularly。

67. 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。
The stage lights in the music hall darkened, as the next school’s concert band settled onstage. The First Chair, a young violinist, called upon each section to play, tuning them with precision and grace. The moment the musical director appeared, a wave of applause filled the air.
The annual High School Music Festival was the highlight of my year. As a music teacher, I never missed a session, always amazed by the extraordinary talents the musical directors inspired in their students. But this year might be my last visit. With age catching up, my desire for retirement was growing stronger.
Honestly, there was always a touch of dissatisfaction and envy in my heart as I watched these school bands, because I had never been able to develop a band to this level. I taught in a small primary school. My students played beginner music, and they were happy when we managed to play from the start all the way to the end of a piece, with all the instruments finishing together. The complexities of full tone, dynamic control, and balance were beyond their abilities.
As the band opened with their first piece, the striking sound of violins, accompanied by the lively notes of pianos, set my heart pounding. Wouldn’t it be great to be the musical director for one of these massive high school bands? I thought as the music transported me. When the last notes rang out, there was a brief silence before thunderous applause erupted. My aging eyes scanned (察看) the stage, seeking familiar faces among the performers. But my vision was no longer sharp enough to recognize anyone.
During the tea break, I headed toward the entrance hall. “Miss Jones!” a young man’s voice cut through the crowd. I recognized the concert uniform he was wearing. It was the very violinist I had been admiring. Puzzled, I searched his face for familiar features. It turned out to be Bradley, a former student of mine who was difficult to forget. Schoolwork had been hard for him, and he had struggled through all his subjects. It was a pleasant surprise to meet him here. We sat down and had a chat.
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。
I remembered the day when he asked to join the school band.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was still smiling as I made my way back to the music hall.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I remembered the day when he asked to join the school band. He was so eager, but he had no prior musical experience. I was hesitant at first, but his enthusiasm convinced me to give him a chance. I started from the very basics with him. He practiced hard, often staying after school to get extra help. It was a long and difficult journey, but he never gave up. And now, seeing him as the First Chair in this high school band, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment.
I was still smiling as I made my way back to the music hall. I realized that every student has the potential to grow and shine, regardless of their starting point. My small primary school students might not be as advanced as these high schoolers yet, but they too could achieve great things with time and dedication. I gladly decided that I would not retire just yet. I wanted to continue teaching, to inspire my students just as I had inspired Bradley, and to see where their musical journeys would take them.

From Beijing, more than 400 kilometers away, all the way up north, the temperature gradually drops. With the emergence of fire prevention warnings, Saihanba (塞罕坝), known as a “miracle on earth”, begins to come into view. In October, the cold wind blowing from Siberia has dyed (染色) Saihanba golden.
In Mongolian, Saihanba means beautiful high mountains. However, Saihanba was a desert of “yellow sand covering the sky and flying birds without inhabiting trees” 62 years ago. Whenever the north wind blows, the windy sand located in Inner Mongolia will drive southward, reaching Beijing and Tianjin.
After more than half a century of forest plantation, people who have come to Saihanba can hardly imagine the arid (干旱) scene. Occasionally, a gust of wind passes by, and they would just sigh and shout how strong the wind is, but they would not feel sandblasted (喷砂).
On Oct 9, watchmen Liu Jun and Wang Juan were observing the surrounding forest area on a watchtower in Saihanba Forest Farm in Hebei province. Liu is in charge of the observation and Wang keeps recording.
“Spring and autumn are the critical fire prevention periods for our forest farm. We need to stay here for three months, have three meals a day, work and live in the building,” says Liu Jun, who has been engaged in observation for 13 years. Simple as it looks, the job is quite the burden on their shoulders. Only by enjoying loneliness can they keep this forest safe and sound.
Saihanba today is not only a “green Great Wall” for windbreak and sand fixation (固化), but also a timber (林木) source. Many people would doubt why the trees that have grown up here are to be cut down in a planned way. Liu explains that most of the trees here are planted forest, and the forest species are relatively single, unlike natural forests that can adapt on their own and survive the fittest. The selective cutting of plantation forests is more like thinning when farmers plant crops. Only in this way can the nutrient area be expanded and diseased plants also be removed to ensure the healthy development of the forest areas.
24. What can be learned about Saihanba from the first three paragraphs?
A. It is suffering from a cold wind. B. It is weathering a sandstorm.
C. Its desertification is under control. D. Its climate is beyond expectation.
25. Which of the following best describes the watchmen?
A. Bored but attentive. B. Lonely but committed.
C. Tired but engaged. D. Simple but responsible.
26. Why are some trees in Saihanba cut down?
A. To prevent potential fire. B. To study its disease prevention.
C. To promote its biodiversity. D. To ensure its healthy development.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Green Guardian B. The Sand Wasteland
C. The Timber Farm D. The Golden Miracle

In the vast digital landscape, Google stands as a towering giant of innovation and creativity. Among its many offerings, one stands out for its ability to charm, educate, and celebrate the diversity of human culture—the Google Doodle (涂鸦). This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language.
The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine. The first Google Doodle, created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man Festival, was the start of a tradition that has since become known for its creativity, diversity and user engagement.
Each Google Doodle is a masterpiece, designed and published by any doodler online to bring out the certain theme every year. From paying respect to literary greats like Mark Twain and Dickens to marking key moments in worldwide history, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Google Doodles show the global influence of English and colorful cultural roots.
One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression. Many Doodles include clever wordplay, literary quotes, and historical references, encouraging users to explore the events and celebrities more deeply. For example, a Doodle celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare might show famous quotes from his plays, inviting users to dive into the rich world of Elizabethan literature.
In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs, and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. It serves as a bridge connecting the digital world with human emotions and memories, making every search a potential discovery of beauty and meaning.
28. What can you do on Google Doodle?
A. Learn how to doodle. B. Celebrate all festivals.
C. Enjoy short videos. D. Study the English language.
29. Why did Larry Page and Sergey Brin create Google Doodle?
A. To make Google funny and personalized.
B. To mark the Burning Man Festival in 1988.
C. To celebrate a certain theme every year.
D. To show the global influence of Google.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. One key technique of Google Doodle.
B. One common subject of Google Doodle.
C. One amazing capability of Google Doodle.
D. One artistic representative of Google Doodle.
31. In which column of a magazine can you probably find this text?
A. Creativity & Art. B. Language & Culture.
C. Festivals & Celebrations. D. Emotions & Memories.
D
Virtually all living things have some way of getting from here to there. Animals may walk, swim, or fly. Plants and their seeds drift (飘) on wind or water or are carried by animals. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that, in time, all species might spread to every place on Earth where favorable conditions occur. Indeed, there are some cosmopolitan species. A good example is the housefly, found almost everywhere on Earth. However, such broad distribution (分布) is the rare exception. Just as wire fences prevent cattle from leaving their grassland, biological barriers prevent the spread of many species.
What forms barriers depends on the species and its method of spread. Some are physical barriers, like waters or mountains for the land animals, and strong currents for aquatic (水生) creatures. Some barriers involve competition with other species. Most places that are suitable for the growth of a newcomer, say a dandelion seedling (蒲公英幼苗), are already occupied by other types of plants that are well adapted to the area. Facing such fierce competition, the chances of survival for the immigrant are slim.
There are also some types of natural pathways through which organisms can overcome barriers. One type is called a corridor. It consists of a single type of habitat that passes through various other types of habitat. North America’s Rocky Mountains is an example. Various types of trees, such as the Engelmann spruce, can be found not only at the northern end of the corridor in Alaska but also at higher altitude along the entire length of this corridor.
Another type of natural pathway is known as a filter route. It consists of a series of habitats that are different from one another but are similar enough to permit organisms to gradually adapt to new conditions as they spread from habitat to habitat. The greatest difference between a corridor and a filter route is that a corridor consists of one type of habitat, while a filter consists of several similar types.
32. What does the underlined word “cosmopolitan” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Worldwide. B. Ordinary. C. Famous. D. Ancient.
33. How does the author explain biological barriers in paragraph 1?
A. By providing examples of them.
B. By describing the forming process of them.
C. By comparing them with a familiar man-made barrier.
D. By explaining how houseflies have been affected by them.
34. What limits the chances of survival for dandelion seedlings?
A. The danger of strong winds. B. The lack of a suitable habitat.
C. Inadaptation to the new areas. D. Competition with native species.
35. What is the essential difference between a corridor and a filter route?
A. The number of habitat categories. B. The speed to adapt to new conditions.
C. The distance from one end to the other. D. The species spread through the routes.

These days, it’s not unusual to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.
____36____ One is about adults’ nostalgia (怀旧之情) for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today’s fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. ____37____ Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.

Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, ____39____ Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly (异常) that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers.
From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative. ____40____ The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.
Whether the kidult phenomenon will continue to grow or prove to be a passing trend is anyone’s guess. As the debate about it continues, remember that there is nothing wrong with being young at heart.

67. 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。
The stage lights in the music hall darkened, as the next school’s concert band settled onstage. The First Chair, a young violinist, called upon each section to play, tuning them with precision and grace. The moment the musical director appeared, a wave of applause filled the air.
The annual High School Music Festival was the highlight of my year. As a music teacher, I never missed a session, always amazed by the extraordinary talents the musical directors inspired in their students. But this year might be my last visit. With age catching up, my desire for retirement was growing stronger.
Honestly, there was always a touch of dissatisfaction and envy in my heart as I watched these school bands, because I had never been able to develop a band to this level. I taught in a small primary school. My students played beginner music, and they were happy when we managed to play from the start all the way to the end of a piece, with all the instruments finishing together. The complexities of full tone, dynamic control, and balance were beyond their abilities.
As the band opened with their first piece, the striking sound of violins, accompanied by the lively notes of pianos, set my heart pounding. Wouldn’t it be great to be the musical director for one of these massive high school bands? I thought as the music transported me. When the last notes rang out, there was a brief silence before thunderous applause erupted. My aging eyes scanned (察看) the stage, seeking familiar faces among the performers. But my vision was no longer sharp enough to recognize anyone.
During the tea break, I headed toward the entrance hall. “Miss Jones!” a young man’s voice cut through the crowd. I recognized the concert uniform he was wearing. It was the very violinist I had been admiring. Puzzled, I searched his face for familiar features. It turned out to be Bradley, a former student of mine who was difficult to forget. Schoolwork had been hard for him, and he had struggled through all his subjects. It was a pleasant surprise to meet him here. We sat down and had a chat.
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。
I remembered the day when he asked to join the school band.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was still smiling as I made my way back to the music hall.
