【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中的“Enjoy tasty festive delights offered by our street food vendors along the route, from hot food to spiced winter warmers.(沿途的街头小吃摊为您提供美味的节日美食,从热食到香料冬季饮品。)”可知,游客可以在Kew享受美味的食物。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格中的“Non-member adult(非会员成人)”“Peak(高峰)”可知,圣诞节属于峰期,非会员成人票价为£32。根据“Children(age: below 4)(儿童(年龄:4岁以下))”以及“Children(age: 4 and up)(儿童(年龄:4岁及以上))”可知,3岁的儿童免费,7岁的儿童票价为£16。因此,一个非会员的夫妻和两个孩子的总票价为£32 + £32 + £0 + £16 = £80。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Join us and have yourself a holly, jolly Christmas!(加入我们,欢度一个快乐、愉快的圣诞节吧!)”“What will you do?(你将做什么?)”“Important information(重要的信息)”“Ticket Prices(票价)”可知,本文的主要目的是宣传Kew的圣诞活动。故选D。
B
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. ”
As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife?
If you are a golfer as I am, you will say “Certainly, go playing golf. ” Golf is perhaps the greatest challenge to self-improvement. In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued.
Now let us return to the question at hand. You will not be surprised to hear that I did in fact go to the North Fork. But, how has that improved me? Can this be quantified (量化)? In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied.
You may argue that travel is not about self-improvement at all but just about having grand experiences. I beg to differ. It does matter how these things change and improve me. Seeing the folks dancing in the streets should change you. And talking to the manager of the biscuit shop, ought to change you. I think travel does change us, but it’s very hard to say just how. How does one quantify buying a peach at a farm? Or how do you quantify the tasty taste of the scones (司康饼) at a stand?
Reviewers have had a hard time analyzing the meaning of Robert Frost’s poem. To be honest, I would say all of us have a hard time analyzing our wish to travel to faraway places. I am not sure what the answer is to this tricky question. I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones.
4. Why does the author quote the poem?
A. To express the meaning of life. B. To explain the challenges the poet met.
C. To show the impact of choices. D. To introduce the general views to choices.
5. What does the author think of playing golf?
A. Its result is measurable. B. It is the most challenging sports.
C. It leads to self-satisfaction. D. It shows the potential for both gain and loss.
6. What is the author’s attitude towards his decision of going to the North Fork?
A. Regretful. B. Unclear. C. Content. D. Doubtful.
7. Which of the following proverb will the author agree with?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Every path has its own scenery.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者在打高尔夫与陪伴妻子旅行之间的选择困境,探讨了自我提升量化标准与人生体验不可量化价值之间的辩证关系。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章开篇引用诗歌“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.(树林里分出两条路,我选择了人迹罕至的那条,于是一切都不一样了)”以及第一段“As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife?(正如罗伯特·弗罗斯特提醒我们的那样,选择往往是困难的,既会带来收获,也会带来损失。星期天我是该打高尔夫球呢,还是和妻子去北福克一日游?)”可推知,作者通过引用这首诗,引出了文章的主题,即选择的重要性以及选择对个人的影响。他在文章中探讨了两种选择(打高尔夫和去北福克旅行)对个人的不同影响,这与诗中选择带来的不同结果相呼应。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued.(在高尔夫运动中,每一杆都有计数,晚上躺在床上时很容易回忆和回顾,因此追求自我提高)”以及第三段“In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied.(在高尔夫运动中,目标是尽可能少地击球完成比赛,如果我平均打出80杆,而我打出76杆,我知道至少在那一天我比以前的自己进步了,因此感到满足)”可知,作者认为打高尔夫的结果是可量化的。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones.(我可能在北福克没进过一杆进洞,但我确实很喜欢那些司康饼)”可知,作者虽然没有在打高尔夫时取得特别好的成绩,但享受了在 North Fork的时光。由此推知,作者对自己去 North Fork的决定是满意的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife?(正如罗伯特·弗罗斯特提醒我们的那样,选择往往是困难的,既会带来收获,也会带来损失。星期天我是该打高尔夫球呢,还是和妻子去北福克一日游?)”及下文内容可知,作者以自己周末的选择为例,纠结于打高尔夫还是和妻子去北福克旅行,作者最终选择了旅行,虽然旅行的收获难以量化,比如与当地人交流、品尝司康饼,这些体验带来的内在变化可能更重要。由此推知,作者会同意B选项“每条路都有自己的风景”。故选B。
C
A Harvard research team’s first model of a portable exosuit (机械护甲) is made of cloth components worn on the waist and upper legs. A computer that’s built into the shorts can sense when the user shifts between walking and running.
Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind-somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics, whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man. But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running.
The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team’s suit, you definitely notice that it’s pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit. But after a while, you don’t really notice it anymore. The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user’s energy. Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.”
Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology. “Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson’s disease to move more easily,” he says. “My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.”
Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team’s effort “promising work”. Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance.
8. What may the exosuit do?
A. Cover the user’s wrist and upper legs. B. Sharpen a wearer’s performance of walking
C. Enable a person to become a superhero. D. Sense the user’s shift from walking to running.
9. How will people feel when they take the suit off after wearing it for a few minutes?
A. Their legs may feel a little heavier. B. Their body may not feel anything strange.
C. Their joints will feel pulled by some strength. D. Their body may feel the driving force from it.
10. What do Walsh’s words in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A. The suit can safeguard soldiers in the distance. B. He works directly for American military force.
C. A certain model of a suit can be purchased now. D. Current models benefit Patients with Parkinson.
11. What’s Zelik’s attitude towards the future of exosuits?
A. Promising. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeless. D. Objective.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍一个哈佛研究小组的第一个便携式机械护甲是由穿在腰部和大腿上的布料组成,可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。文章还介绍了这套装置的一些特色和优点,以及人们对它的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running.(但哈佛大学的科学家们一直在开发一种真正的外装,一种可穿戴的机器,可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。这个模型可以提高佩戴者在走路或跑步时的表现)”可知,机械护甲可以提高穿戴者的行走能力。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.”(沃尔什说,虽然你可能没有注意到,但当你在穿上机械护甲几分钟后把它脱掉时,“你很快就会注意到你的腿感觉有点重了。”)”可知,人们穿了几分钟就把护甲脱下来会感到腿有点重。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.(我的实验室与一家公司合作开发了一套帮助中风患者的机械护甲,现在已经上市)”可推知,Walsh的话表明现在可以买到某一款机械护甲了。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance.(泽利克说,它将提高人类在日常生活的各个方面的能力。然而,他指出,外装领域正在迅速变化。他说,在未来,最好的辅助设备可能根本不是外骨骼,而是植入人体内的技术。他预测,未来的可穿戴设备还将能够了解穿戴者的运动意图,并在必要时对其进行影响,以提高人类的表现)”可知,Zelik既对机械护甲表示肯定,又表示未来最好的辅助设备可能根本不是机械护甲,而是植入人体的技术;即他的态度是客观的。故选D。
D
At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting.
This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.
Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added.
Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes.
The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination (发芽) to reproduction — in orbit.
12. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment?
A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality.
B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth.
C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success.
D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit.
13. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Disadvantages. D. Characteristics.
14. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice?
A. Its security. B. Its artificial process.
C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming.
15. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space
B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond
C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming
D. Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太空到地面的水稻种植实验,该实验对未来太空农业有重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.(这项空对地实验始于2022年由“问天号”飞船将6颗水稻种子送入轨道。天宫号上的宇航员将这些种子培育成59颗,并将它们送回了地球。然后,研究人员挑选出高质量的种子,在可控的气候条件下种植,生产出大约1万颗新种子)” 可知,在太空培育的种子回到地球后被进一步种植,故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice(比如含糖量较高,其含糖量估计是标准大米的5到6倍)”可知,“traits” 指太空培育水稻的独特特点,如高糖含量、蛋白质含量增加等。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes.(中国空间技术研究院专家赵辉强调了太空培育食品的安全性,他解释说,与转基因作物不同,太空培育的种子在不引入外源基因的情况下会自然变异)”可知,赵辉强调的是太空培育水稻的安全性,故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong.(在上海的一个作物育种中心,研究人员成功收获了由中国空间站天宫号培育的种子培育而成的水稻)”可知,文章主要讲述了太空到地面的水稻种植实验,该实验对未来太空农业有重要意义。由此可知,D选项 “天地循环:有前景的未来太空农业”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature.
While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. ____16____ When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.
____17____ If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high.
In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. ____18____ Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.
Most people are not sustainability conscious._ ____19____ We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives.
At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. ____20____ However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.
A. No rule fits all situations concerning this topic.
B. The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved.
C. Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations.
D. The best way to care for nature and wildlife is to follow the rules.
E. Instead of being critical, take your time to learn from their practices.
F. An ecotourist focuses on protecting nature, culture and social practices.
G. The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了可持续旅游(或生态旅游)的重要性,提出了一些实践可持续旅游的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing.(通过提倡可持续度假,可以减少这种污染。)”和下文“When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.(说到生态旅游,你激励他人采取行动同样重要。)”可知,本段主要讲述生态旅游或可持续旅游的重要性。选项G“生态旅游和可持续旅游这两个术语经常可以互换使用”能够承上启下,既提到了上文中的sustainable vacationing,也引出了下文中的ecotourism。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据下文“If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them.(如果公园禁止喂养野生动物,就不要喂养它们。)”可知,本段主要讲述要遵守规定,保护野生动物。选项D“关心自然和野生动物的最好方法就是遵守规则”能够概括本段主旨。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife.(当你访问这些当地社区时,你可能会发现他们参与了一些可能对生态系统或野生动物不友好的做法。)”和下文“Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.(试着倾听并与社区互动,比为批评打开更多带来改变的大门。)”可知,此处内容应与学习当地社区的做法有关,选项E“不要妄加批评,而是花时间去学习他们的做法”符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Most people are not sustainability conscious.(大多数人没有可持续意识。)”和下文“We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas.(我们有很多方法可以实现可持续发展,其中之一就是分享你的想法。)”可知,本段主要讲述大多数人没有可持续意识的原因,以及实现可持续发展的方法。选项B“这是因为他们认为这是无法实现的”能够承接上文,并引出下文提出的实现可持续发展的方法。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality.(归根结底,可持续度假不仅应该帮助你减少对环境的负面影响,还应该唤醒社会对这一现实的认识。)”和下文“However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.(然而,每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。)”可知,此处存在一个转折关系,选项A“在这个问题上,没有一成不变的规则”能够与下文形成转折关系,表示虽然可持续旅游没有固定的规则,但每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。故选A。

52. 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。
Be Kind to Every Kind
Growing up in a city, surrounded by tall buildings, Albert found animals to be a rare and attractive presence. However, while he loved animals, he never truly understood how to treat them with the respect they deserved.
His parents had noticed Albert’s lack of responsibility. They had long tried to teach him the value of patience and care, but city life seemed to fuel his impatience. They knew something had to change.
This winter break, Albert’s parents took him to visit his cousin Camille, who lived on a farm far from the city. Camille had learned from a young age how to care for animals. Albert’s parents hoped the trip would help him develop a deeper sense of responsibility and kindness – not just toward animals, but toward the world around him.
When they arrived at Camille’s farm, Camille greeted them warmly, her face shining with the satisfaction of farm life. “Ready to meet the animals in the barn (畜棚)?” she asked Albert.
Albert nodded eagerly.
Albert saw the sheep first. He bent down to get a closer look, his hand reaching out toward them. However, as soon as he moved, the sheep scattered (散开), their eyes wide with unease. Albert was confused. “Why did they run away?”
Camille smiled but explained gently, “They’re not used to sudden movements. Animals can get scared just like people. It’s important to be calm and patient with them.”
Next, they visited the cows. Albert thought they would be easy to approach, but when he tried to wave a carrot in front of one, it barely reacted. He impatiently moved closer, trying to get its attention, but the cow simply ignored him.
“It’s not a game, Albert,” Camille said, noticing his frustration (沮丧). “They’re not toys. You have to earn their trust. It’s just like being with people. If we rush or ignore their boundaries, they pull away, right?”
Albert hesitated. He had never considered that animals, like people, had their own boundaries and comfort zones.
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
Later in the afternoon, Camille led Albert to feed the young sheep.

That evening, Albert’s parents entered the barn, surprised by what they saw.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Later in the afternoon, Camille led Albert to feed the young sheep. She handed him a handful of grass and demonstrated how to approach the animals quietly and slowly. Albert followed her instructions, moving carefully and extending his hand. One sheep carefully stepped forward and smelled the food in his hand. A sense of achievement filled Albert’s heart as he remained calm and continued offering the grass. Camille smiled, watching him. “It’s about kindness,” she said gently. “When you respect their space, they’ll trust you.”
That evening, Albert’s parents entered the barn, surprised by what they saw. Albert sat on the grass-covered floor, surrounded by the lambs, who were now comfortable with him. He was talking to them softly and petting them. His parents stood in the doorway, watching him with interest. Albert looked up and noticed their surprised expressions. “Animals aren’t just here for us to play with,” he said. “They have feelings too. I think I understand now.” His mother smiled, realizing that Albert had grasped the importance of kindness and respect for all living beings.
【解析】

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. ”
As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife?
If you are a golfer as I am, you will say “Certainly, go playing golf. ” Golf is perhaps the greatest challenge to self-improvement. In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued.
Now let us return to the question at hand. You will not be surprised to hear that I did in fact go to the North Fork. But, how has that improved me? Can this be quantified (量化)? In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied.
You may argue that travel is not about self-improvement at all but just about having grand experiences. I beg to differ. It does matter how these things change and improve me. Seeing the folks dancing in the streets should change you. And talking to the manager of the biscuit shop, ought to change you. I think travel does change us, but it’s very hard to say just how. How does one quantify buying a peach at a farm? Or how do you quantify the tasty taste of the scones (司康饼) at a stand?
Reviewers have had a hard time analyzing the meaning of Robert Frost’s poem. To be honest, I would say all of us have a hard time analyzing our wish to travel to faraway places. I am not sure what the answer is to this tricky question. I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones.
4. Why does the author quote the poem?
A. To express the meaning of life. B. To explain the challenges the poet met.
C. To show the impact of choices. D. To introduce the general views to choices.
5. What does the author think of playing golf?
A. Its result is measurable. B. It is the most challenging sports.
C. It leads to self-satisfaction. D. It shows the potential for both gain and loss.

A Harvard research team’s first model of a portable exosuit (机械护甲) is made of cloth components worn on the waist and upper legs. A computer that’s built into the shorts can sense when the user shifts between walking and running.
Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind-somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics, whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man. But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running.
The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team’s suit, you definitely notice that it’s pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit. But after a while, you don’t really notice it anymore. The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user’s energy. Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.”
Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology. “Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson’s disease to move more easily,” he says. “My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.”
Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team’s effort “promising work”. Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance.
8. What may the exosuit do?
A. Cover the user’s wrist and upper legs. B. Sharpen a wearer’s performance of walking
C. Enable a person to become a superhero. D. Sense the user’s shift from walking to running.
9. How will people feel when they take the suit off after wearing it for a few minutes?
A. Their legs may feel a little heavier. B. Their body may not feel anything strange.
C. Their joints will feel pulled by some strength. D. Their body may feel the driving force from it.
10. What do Walsh’s words in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A. The suit can safeguard soldiers in the distance. B. He works directly for American military force.
C. A certain model of a suit can be purchased now. D. Current models benefit Patients with Parkinson.
11. What’s Zelik’s attitude towards the future of exosuits?
A. Promising. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeless. D. Objective.
D
At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting.
This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.
Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added.
Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes.
The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination (发芽) to reproduction — in orbit.
12. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment?
A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality.
B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth.
C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success.
D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit.
13. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Disadvantages. D. Characteristics.
14. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice?
A. Its security. B. Its artificial process.
C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming.
15. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space
B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond
C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming
D Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture

Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature.
While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. ____16____ When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.
____17____ If a park says no to feeding wildlife simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high.
In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. ____18____ Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.
Most people are not sustainability conscious._ ____19____ We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives.
At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. ____20____ However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.
A No rule fits all situations concerning this topic.
B. The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved.
C. Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations.

Be Kind to Every Kind
Growing up in a city, surrounded by tall buildings, Albert found animals to be a rare and attractive presence. However, while he loved animals, he never truly understood how to treat them with the respect they deserved.
His parents had noticed Albert’s lack of responsibility. They had long tried to teach him the value of patience and care, but city life seemed to fuel his impatience. They knew something had to change.
This winter break, Albert’s parents took him to visit his cousin Camille, who lived on a farm far from the city. Camille had learned from a young age how to care for animals. Albert’s parents hoped the trip would help him develop a deeper sense of responsibility and kindness – not just toward animals, but toward the world around him.
When they arrived at Camille’s farm, Camille greeted them warmly, her face shining with the satisfaction of farm life. “Ready to meet the animals in the barn (畜棚)?” she asked Albert.
Albert nodded eagerly.
Albert saw the sheep first. He bent down to get a closer look, his hand reaching out toward them. However, as soon as he moved, the sheep scattered (散开), their eyes wide with unease. Albert was confused. “Why did they run away?”
Camille smiled but explained gently, “They’re not used to sudden movements. Animals can get scared just like people. It’s important to be calm and patient with them.”
Next, they visited the cows. Albert thought they would be easy to approach, but when he tried to wave a carrot in front of one, it barely reacted. He impatiently moved closer, trying to get its attention, but the cow simply ignored him.
“It’s not a game, Albert,” Camille said, noticing his frustration (沮丧). “They’re not toys. You have to earn their trust. It’s just like being with people. If we rush or ignore their boundaries, they pull away, right?”
Albert hesitated. He had never considered that animals, like people, had their own boundaries and comfort zones.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答
Later in the afternoon, Camille led Albert to feed the young sheep.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, Albert’s parents entered the barn, surprised by what they saw.
