When we arrived there, my father told us the river was very dangerous. He made us promise not to walk up to it. But I was too curious about it. I thought there must be kinds of fish in the river. So I did not keep my promise. I walked into the river and saw many fish. When I wanted to catch a fish, I fell down. Because the river was very deep, I could not stand or touch the bottom. I cried out loudly, but nobody was there, except my brother Danny. My father had gone to search for some wood. Danny was very scared. He didn’t know what he could do, because he was two years younger than me. He jumped in, but that just made the situation worse, because he was even shorter than me and he couldn’t swim. Both of us cried out. Fortunately, there was a farmer who passed by. He saved us before our father came back. 第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节：(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. We don’t really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago, but a study contained a real shocker, suggesting that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years. In all likelihood, the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago, but the majority of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. The Grand Canyon creates its own weather Of all Grand Canyon facts, this one is pretty cool — no pun (双关语) intended. Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. The coldest, wettest weather station in the area is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim, while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaurs might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon, lots of other fossils have been found that suggest other creatures often visited the area. They range from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10,000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Prior to modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. As a result, only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. 21. What is the weather like in the Great Canyon? A. It is pretty cool. B. It is extremely hot. C. It is unusually cold. D. It changes from place to place. 22. Why are fish relatively unusual in the area? A. It has a special geological phenomenon. B. The temperature here is relatively stable. C. It offers tough habitats for fish with extreme temperature. D. There are eight fish species unique to the world. 23. Which section of a magazine is the text most likely from? A. Geography. B. Life. C. Stories. D. Science. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国的大峡谷国家公园是美国最著名和最受游客欢迎的景点之一，但仍然有一些鲜为人知的真相。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章The Grand Canyon creates its own weather中“Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. (海拔的突然变化对温度和降雨有很大的影响，所以你所经历的天气可能在很大程度上取决于你在大峡谷的位置。)”可知，在不同的位置天气是不同的，大峡谷的天气因地而异。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Fish are relatively uncommon in the area中“Prior to modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. (在现代洪水控制措施之前，科罗拉多河为鱼类提供了一个独特的困难栖息地，泥沙淤积，洪水频繁，气温从夏季的极端高温到冬季的零下温度。)”可知，鱼类在这个地区相对不常见是因为它为极端温度下的鱼类提供了艰巨的栖息地。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. (尽管大峡谷国家公园是美国最著名、游客最多的景点之一，但它仍然有一些惊喜。以下是一些你可能不知道的关于大峡谷的事实。)”可知，本文是关于大峡谷的一些信息，因此本文很有可能来自杂志的地理板块。故选A。 B In 2000, aged just 22, Tang Yulin realized his dream of becoming a third-generation forest ranger (护林员) in the reserve (保护区). In the initial years of his work, the reserve lacked electricity, and the rough mountain environment made patrols (巡逻) physically demanding. Rising at 3:30 am every day, Tang Yulin would prepare his meals in darkness before heading up the mountains at 4 am to observe and document the activities and habits of the golden snub-nosed monkeys before they awoke. Spending nearly 200 days and nights in the mountains each year, Tang Yulin and his colleagues often had to build living places when unable to go back the same day. Through years of observation and learning, he became an expert on the reserve’s wildlife, serving as a valuable resource for researchers working in the area. Following the development of infrastructure (基础设施) in the reserve in recent years, TangYulin’s patrols have become more manageable. The golden snub-nosed monkeys have also grown used to closer human interaction, with more than 140 research monkeys successfully relocated to lower-altitude areas near rivers, where they now boom. Today, the reserve boasts the highest density of these monkeys in the country, making it a major location for observing them in the wild. Inspired by Tang Yulin’s devotion, his nephew Tang Xiaogang joined the ranks of forest rangers in 2024, becoming a fourth-generation guardian of the lush mountains and its monkeys. “As the monkeys feast on leaves in the trees, and I snack on biscuits below, a bond of trust has formed between us. Seeing the golden snub-nosed monkeys increase here is the greatest honor for me,” Tang Yulin says, reflecting on his work. In the misty mountains, Tang Yulin and his fellow guardians are pillars (支柱) of conservation, ensuring the balance between nature and humanity for future generations. 24. What did Tang Yulin dream of becoming when he was young? A. A researcher. B. An expert. C. An official. D. A guardian. 25. What is one of the problems Tang Yulin faced in the past? A. Food shortage. B. Physical challenges. C. The decline of Monkey number. D. Lack of company. 26. What makes him most proud of his job according to Tang Yulin? A. Becoming an expert on the reserve’s environment. B. Serving as a significant resource for researchers. C. Witnessing the boom of the monkeys in the reserve. D. Inspiring his nephew to join the ranks of forest rangers. 27. Which word best describes Tang Yulin? A. Romantic. B. Shy. C. Devoted. D. Generous. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文 。文章讲述护林员唐玉林坚守山林，助力川金丝猴种群繁荣。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2000, aged just 22, Tang Yulin realized his dream of becoming a third-generation forest ranger (护林员) in the reserve (保护区). (2000年，年仅22岁的唐玉林实现了成为保护区第三代护林员的梦想)”可知，唐玉林年轻时的梦想是当一名护林员，也就是一名守护者。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中““As the monkeys feast on leaves in the trees, and I snack on biscuits below, a bond of trust has formed between us. Seeing the golden snub-nosed monkeys increase here is the greatest honor for me,” Tang Yulin says, reflecting on his work. (在他工作的最初几年里，保护区没有电，而且崎岖的山区环境使得巡逻工作对体力要求很高)”可知，他过去面临的一个问题体能挑战。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Seeing the golden snub-nosed monkeys increase here is the greatest honor for me,” Tang Yulin says, reflecting on his work. (“当猴子们在树上大快朵颐地吃着树叶，而我在树下啃着饼干时，我们之间便形成了一种信任的纽带。看到这里的金丝猴数量增多，对我来说是最大的荣幸。”唐玉林在回顾自己的工作时说道)”可知，他认为见证保护区里金丝猴数量的增长是他工作最让他自豪的事情。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Spending nearly 200 days and nights in the mountains each year, Tang Yulin and his colleagues often had to build living places when unable to go back the same day. Through years of observation and learning, he became an expert on the reserve’s wildlife, serving as a valuable resource for researchers working in the area. (唐玉林和他的同事们每年几乎有 200 天日夜都待在山里，当当天无法返回时，他们常常不得不搭建住所。经过多年的观察和学习，他成为了该保护区野生动物方面的专家，为在这个地区开展研究工作的科研人员提供了宝贵的资源)”及最后一段“In the misty mountains, Tang Yulin and his fellow guardians are pillars (支柱) of conservation, ensuring the balance between nature and humanity for future generations. (在雾蒙蒙的群山中，唐玉林和他的同伴们是保护环境的支柱，为子孙后代确保自然与人类之间的平衡)”可知，唐玉林每年花大量时间在山上巡逻，多年来一直致力于保护区的工作，体现了他对工作的投入和奉献。故选C。 C The song of the Florida grasshopper sparrow is unusual and surprisingly insect-like. But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark received a call from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service: The songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grassland, was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males showing up in counts, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species. Sartore flew to Florida to photograph the bird and work with conservationists to raise awareness of the species’ difficult situation. The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a breeding program. Thanks to these steps, there are now as many as 180 adults in the wild and researchers are working hard to bring the species back from the brink of extinction. Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the sparrow is “a remarkable story of belief and cooperation,” says Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This journey shows the society’s mission to illustrate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we’ve developed a unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work appears in this issue: biologist André Green II, photographer Lynsey Addario and education advocate Ara Kusuma. Sartore has been creating an “ark” of animal photos for 17 years. Portraits of more than 15, 000 species invite audiences to connect and care. With the society’s support, the images have appeared on landmarks and U. S. postage stamps, prompting on—the—ground conservation efforts such as an initiative of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark. As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a healthy planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.” 28. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By clarifying a concept. B. By offering an example. C. By giving an explanation. D. By quoting a remark. 29. Which has the similar meaning with “outlets” in paragraph 2? A. Stores. B. Media. C. Exits. D. Books 30. What contributes to the sparrow’s survival? A. A funding program from the government. B. An ark of animal photos in the magazine. C. A unique initiative for species protection. D. A joint effort from different professionals. 31. What does Sartore want to convey in the last paragraph? A. The urgency of species’ protection. B. The promotion of cooperative methods. C. The importance of coexistence. D. The situation of human survival. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍在各方人士的共同努力下来拯救美国鸟类的事情，强调了人与鸟类共存的重要性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The song of the Florida grasshopper sparrow is unusual and surprisingly insect-like. But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark received a call from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service: The songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grassland, was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males showing up in counts, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species. (佛罗里达州蚱蜢麻雀的歌声不同寻常，令人惊讶地像昆虫。但它几乎永远沉默了。2012年，国家地理探险家和摄影方舟的创始人Joel Sartore接到了美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的电话：这种鸣禽是佛罗里达州干旱草原上的一个重要生态环节，正处于灭绝的边缘。由于只有几十只雄性出现，它是北美最濒危的鸟类之一。)”可知，这里利用具体的例子来说明北美鸟类的濒危情况。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a breeding program. (这个故事出现在报纸、杂志甚至互联网等上，有助于增加政府对育种项目的资助。)”可知，这里的outlet包括报纸、杂志甚至互联网等谋体，所以outlet的意思应该是“媒体”，和选项B意思一致。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the sparrow is “a remarkable story of belief and cooperation,” says Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This journey shows the society’s mission to illustrate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we’ve developed a unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work appears in this issue: biologist André Green II, photographer Lynsey Addario and education advocate Ara Kusuma. (Sartore说，与其他物种生存的例子一样，拯救麻雀的努力是“一个关于信仰与合作的非凡故事”。它还展示了保护濒危物种需要什么：研究、叙述、伙伴关系、资源和时间。这段旅程展示了社会展现和保护世界奇迹的使命。在过去的136年里，我们开发了一种独特的探索者主导的模式，将科学、探索、教育和讲故事相结合，以推动影响力。我们支持140多个国家的Explorer，包括Sartore和其他作品出现在本期中的人：生物学家AndréGreen II、摄影师Lynsey Addario和教育倡导者Ara Kusuma。)”可知，拯救麻雀是各领域专业人士共同努力的结果。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a healthy planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.” (正如Sartore所说，“鸟的声音就是一个健康星球的声音。当我们拯救一只鸟或另一个物种时，我们实际上是在拯救自己。”)”可知，Sartore认为，鸟类和人类息息相关，强调了人与鸟类共存的重要性。故选C。 D If carbon dioxide (CO2) were a politician, it would be worried about its bad comments. This greenhouse gas is the primary pollutant responsible for global warming. Scientists, leaders, and activists are trying to stop its production. This gas, however, also plays a key role in life on Earth. Carbon helps form the protein and DNA found in living things. In the atmosphere, it combines with two oxygen atoms (原子) to form carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis (光合作用) . In the process, plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar. In return, plants give off oxygen. As carbon dioxide concentrations increase in the atmosphere, scientists are trying to employ photosynthesis to promote plant growth. Laboratory studies show a higher concentration of the gas is making some plants grow more quickly in certain conditions, but in the wild and on outdoor farms the overall benefit is unclear. In the Netherlands, some commercial greenhouses are experimenting with ways to send carbon dioxide released from industry into greenhouses along a particular way where plants use the extra gas as fertilizer (肥料). The first person to assume the existence of carbon dioxide was 16th-century Belgian scientist Jan Baptist van Helmont. After coal was burned, he noted, the weight of the remains was lower than the coal’s initial weight, which means some mass had been lost in the process. He was the first scientist to recognize different gases present in the air we breathe. It wasn’t until 1896 that Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius linked the carbon dioxide released from burning coal and oil to atmospheric warming. Yet, despite its being plentiful in the atmosphere, we have been light on commercially produced carbon dioxide because of rising energy costs. As a result, carbonated drink (碳酸饮料) companies have had to raise prices or reduce production. 32. What can we infer about carbon dioxide from paragraph 2? A. Saving energy. B. Supporting life. C. Commercializing agriculture. D. Increasing fertilizer. 33. Why is Jan Baptist van Helmont mentioned? A. To show the origins of CO2. B. To explain the applications of CO2. C. To show an early discovery of CO2. D. To tell an unknown story. 34. What problem do carbonated drink companies face? A. Commercial CO2 is in short supply. B. Sales of their drinks are extremely poor. C. It’s difficult to increase their production. D. There’s too much CO2 in the atmosphere. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Climate Change: Affected by CO2. B. Greenhouse Gas: an Enemy to Nature. C. Carbon: Misunderstood Substance. D. CO2: Both an Enemy and Friend. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是二氧化碳（CO2）这种温室气体是造成全球变暖的主要污染物，但是这种气体对地球上的生命也起着关键作用。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis (光合作用) . In the process, plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar. In return, plants give off oxygen.(二氧化碳是光合作用所必需的。在这个过程中，植物利用来自太阳的能量将水和二氧化碳转化为糖。作为回报，植物释放氧气)”可知，二氧化碳可以帮助植物释放氧气，从而维持生命。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The first person to assume the existence of carbon dioxide was 16th-century Belgian scientist Jan Baptist van Helmont. After coal was burned, he noted, the weight of the remains was lower than the coal’s initial weight, which means some mass had been lost in the process. He was the first scientist to recognize different gases present in the air we breathe.(第一个假设二氧化碳存在的人是16世纪的比利时科学家Jan Baptist van Helmont。他指出，煤燃烧后，残留物的重量低于煤的初始重量，这意味着在燃烧过程中损失了一些质量。他是第一个认识到我们呼吸的空气中存在不同气体的科学家)”可知，Jan Baptist van Helmont是第一个认识到我们呼吸的空气中存在不同气体的科学家，提到他是为了说明关于二氧化碳早期的发现。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Yet, despite its being plentiful in the atmosphere, we have been light on commercially produced carbon dioxide because of rising energy costs.(然而，尽管大气中有大量的二氧化碳，但由于能源成本的上升，我们对商业生产的二氧化碳的利用很少)”可知，碳酸饮料公司面临的问题是商用二氧化碳供应不足，故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“This greenhouse gas is the primary pollutant responsible for global warming. Scientists, leaders, and activists are trying to stop its production. This gas, however, also plays a key role in life on Earth.(这种温室气体是造成全球变暖的主要污染物。科学家、领导人和活动人士正试图阻止它的生产。然而，这种气体对地球上的生命也起着关键作用)”以及文章主要讲述的是二氧化碳(CO2)这种温室气体是造成全球变暖的主要污染物，但是这种气体对地球上的生命也起着关键作用。故D项“二氧化碳：既是敌人又是朋友”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 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。有两项为多余选项。 Trees Provide Many Additional Benefits ___36___ Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors. Trees can improve your mental health A study from The Nature Conservancy found that time in nature around trees correlated with a drop in anxiety and depression. ___37___ The solution for the city blues? Nature, specifically trees. Just looking at trees lowers blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes, according to a Texas A&M study. Trees increase health. Neighborhoods with a high tree density (密度) rate report 25% lower childhood asthma (哮喘) rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles (颗粒) out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.” ___38___ Trees make city areas cooler and safer. “Trees provide shade and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says. “___39___” And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors. ___40___ A. Trees make your house greener. B. Trees can lower your power bill. C. That can prevent heat-related deaths. D. Every tree helps, and the benefits add up. E. Trees still came out as being crime fighters. F. Studies find people living in the city have higher levels of stress. G. One study found trees prevented 850 deaths from asthma in a single year. 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树木多所带来的一些好处。 【36题详解】 根据本段内容“Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors.(美国林务局说，在你家附近种树可以减少30%的空调需求，减少20%到50%的取暖费。树荫让你的房子更凉爽，所以你不必在炎热的夏天开那么多空调。树木还可以阻挡冬天的风从窗户和门爬进你的家)”可知，第一段主要讲夏天因为树荫室内凉爽少开空调，冬天因为树可挡风，室内少风也可少开空调，所以就节约钱。故B选项“树木可以降低你的电费”符合语境，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据标题“Trees can improve your mental health.(树木可以改善你的心理健康)”以及后文“The solution for the city blues?(如何解决城市忧郁？)”可知，本段讲树能够增进精神健康，城里的人压力更大，解决的方案就是多种树。故F选项“研究发现生活在城市里的人压力更大”符合语境，故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Neighborhoods with a high tree density rate report 25% lower childhood asthma rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.”(兰贝说，树木密度高的社区儿童哮喘发病率要低25%。“树木过滤了我们呼吸的空气中的空气污染颗粒，所以它们给了我们更清洁的空气。”)”可知，上文提到树可以增进身体健康，G选项中asthma对应上文asthma。故G选项“一项研究发现树木在一年内防止850人死于哮喘”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文““Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says.(兰贝说：“树木提供阴凉，使城市降温10华氏度。”)”可知，上文讲树荫会使城市凉爽，这样就会减少因热导致的人口死亡。故C选项“这可以防止与热有关的死亡”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors.(巴尔的摩的一项研究发现，树木越多的社区，犯罪率就越低。有人可能会得出这样的结论：人们更遵守法律，因为富裕的社区往往有更多的树木。该研究控制了这一因素，并根据一系列社会经济因素调整了他们的模型)”可知，上文提到树多的社区犯罪率就低。故E选项“树木仍然是犯罪斗士”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2024, our home was surrounded with flood waters.

I asked mum. "Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun," mum said. "Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun?" I puzzled. For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine — on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy for picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, "Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish? People are so inconsiderate I" However, shortly after, I realized picking up the rubbish was not someone ease's problem. Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it. During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day,I had an epiphany(顿悟):"I'm acting just like Vest Lady!" But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street,pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic. alone was too weak J How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal? A smart idea flashed into my mind. 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。 Soon I created my website go picking up com. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ More and more people on vests with their own names. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Soon I created my website go. picking up. com. On the website I launched a rubbish removal campaign. I described my purpose－calling on volunteers to pick up rubbish. I posted pictures of rubbish littered about on the website,which could not only illustrate the severe situation but also show that a large number of volunteers were in great need. Besides, I shared the story of Vest Lady who influenced me so much. Surprisingly, my website gradually became a big hit on the internet. More and more people put on vests with their own names. Volunteers could be seen picking up rubbish in their spare time. The yellow vests made beautiful scenery in the park or on the street. With our joint efforts, the environment became better and better. What delighted me most was that people's awareness of environmental protection was improved. The rubbish removal campaign was a big success. Thanks to Vest Lady who rooted the sense of environmental protection in my mind, more people became Vest Lady. 【解析】 【分析】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者受到“马甲女士”的影响自己也开始穿着反光黄色安全背心捡垃圾，但是作者很快意识到一个人的力量是不够的，于是作者想到创建网站来号召更多的志愿者加入到清除垃圾的行动中来，获得了巨大的成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快我就创建了自己的网站go. picking up. com。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何通过网站来号召更多的志愿者加入到清除垃圾的行动中来。 ②由第二段首句内容“越来越多的人穿上印有自己名字的背心。”可知，第二段可描写很多志愿者加入清除垃圾的行动，环境得到了很大改善，人们的环保意识也得到了提高。 2.续写线索： 发起运动——号召——成为热门——改善——成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①描述：describe/depict ②阐释：illustrate/clarify ③影响：influence/affect 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprisingly/amazingly ②高兴：delight/please 【点睛】[高分句型1] I posted pictures of rubbish littered about on the website, which could not only illustrate the severe situation but also show that a large number of volunteers were in great need.

Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. We don’t really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago, but a study contained a real shocker, suggesting that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years. In all likelihood, the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago, but the majority of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. The Grand Canyon creates its own weather Of all Grand Canyon facts, this one is pretty cool — no pun (双关语) intended. Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. The coldest, wettest weather station in the area is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim, while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaurs might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon, lots of other fossils have been found that suggest other creatures often visited the area. They range from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10,000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Prior to modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. As a result, only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. 21. What is the weather like in the Great Canyon? A. It is pretty cool. B. It is extremely hot. C. It is unusually cold. D. It changes from place to place. 22. Why are fish relatively unusual in the area? A. It has a special geological phenomenon. B. The temperature here is relatively stable. C. It offers tough habitats for fish with extreme temperature. D. There are eight fish species unique to the world. 23. Which section of a magazine is the text most likely from? A. Geography. B. Life. C. Stories. D. Science. B In 2000, aged just 22, Tang Yulin realized his dream of becoming a third-generation forest ranger (护林员) in the reserve (保护区). In the initial years of his work, the reserve lacked electricity, and the rough mountain environment made patrols (巡逻) physically demanding. Rising at 3:30 am every day, Tang Yulin would prepare his meals in darkness before heading up the mountains at 4 am to observe and document the activities and habits of the golden snub-nosed monkeys before they awoke. Spending nearly 200 days and nights in the mountains each year, Tang Yulin and his colleagues often had to build living places when unable to go back the same day. Through years of observation and learning, he became an expert on the reserve’s wildlife, serving as a valuable resource for researchers working in the area. Following the development of infrastructure (基础设施) in the reserve in recent years, TangYulin’s patrols have become more manageable. The golden snub-nosed monkeys have also grown used to closer human interaction, with more than 140 research monkeys successfully relocated to lower-altitude areas near rivers, where they now boom. Today, the reserve boasts the highest density of these monkeys in the country, making it a major location for observing them in the wild. Inspired by Tang Yulin’s devotion, his nephew Tang Xiaogang joined the ranks of forest rangers in 2024, becoming a fourth-generation guardian of the lush mountains and its monkeys. “As the monkeys feast on leaves in the trees and I snack on biscuits below, a bond of trust has formed between us. Seeing the golden snub-nosed monkeys increase here is the greatest honor for me,” Tang Yulin says, reflecting on his work.

But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark received a call from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service: The songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grassland, was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males showing up in counts, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species. Sartore flew to Florida to photograph the bird and work with conservationists to raise awareness of the species’ difficult situation. The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a breeding program. Thanks to these steps, there are now as many as 180 adults in the wild and researchers are working hard to bring the species back from the brink of extinction. Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the sparrow is “a remarkable story of belief and cooperation,” says Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This journey shows the society’s mission to illustrate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we’ve developed a unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work appears in this issue: biologist André Green II, photographer Lynsey Addario and education advocate Ara Kusuma. Sartore has been creating an “ark” of animal photos for 17 years. Portraits of more than 15 000 species invite audiences to connect and care. With the society’s support, the images have appeared on landmarks and U. S. postage stamps, prompting on—the—ground conservation efforts such as an initiative of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark. As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a healthy planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.” 28. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By clarifying a concept. B. By offering an example. C. By giving an explanation. D. By quoting a remark. 29. Which has the similar meaning with “outlets” in paragraph 2? A. Stores. B. Media. C. Exits. D. Books 30. What contributes to the sparrow’s survival? A. A funding program from the government. B. An ark of animal photos in the magazine. C. A unique initiative for species protection. D. A joint effort from different professionals. 31. What does Sartore want to convey in the last paragraph? A. The urgency of species’ protection. B. The promotion of cooperative methods. C. The importance of coexistence. D. The situation of human survival. D If carbon dioxide (CO2) were a politician, it would be worried about its bad comments. This greenhouse gas is the primary pollutant responsible for global warming. Scientists, leaders, and activists are trying to stop its production. This gas, however, also plays a key role in life on Earth. Carbon helps form the protein and DNA found in living things. In the atmosphere, it combines with two oxygen atoms (原子) to form carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis (光合作用) . In the process, plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar. In return, plants give off oxygen. As carbon dioxide concentrations increase in the atmosphere, scientists are trying to employ photosynthesis to promote plant growth. Laboratory studies show a higher concentration of the gas is making some plants grow more quickly in certain conditions, but in the wild and on outdoor farms the overall benefit is unclear. In the Netherlands, some commercial greenhouses are experimenting with ways to send carbon dioxide released from industry into greenhouses along a particular way where plants use the extra gas as fertilizer (肥料). The first person to assume the existence of carbon dioxide was 16th-century Belgian scientist Jan Baptist van Helmont. After coal was burned, he noted, the weight of the remains was lower than the coal’s initial weight, which means some mass had been lost in the process. He was the first scientist to recognize different gases present in the air we breathe. It wasn’t until 1896 that Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius linked the carbon dioxide released from burning coal and oil to atmospheric warming. Yet, despite its being plentiful in the atmosphere, we have been light on commercially produced carbon dioxide because of rising energy costs. As a result, carbonated drink (碳酸饮料) companies have had to raise prices or reduce production. 32. What can we infer about carbon dioxide from paragraph 2? A. Saving energy. B. Supporting life. C. Commercializing agriculture. D. Increasing fertilizer. 33. Why is Jan Baptist van Helmont mentioned? A. To show the origins of CO2. B. To explain the applications of CO2. C. To show an early discovery of CO2. D. To tell an unknown story. 34. What problem do carbonated drink companies face? A. Commercial CO2 is in short supply. B. Sales of their drinks are extremely poor. C. It’s difficult to increase their production. D. There’s too much CO2 in the atmosphere. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Climate Change: Affected by CO2. B. Greenhouse Gas: an Enemy to Nature. C. Carbon: Misunderstood Substance. D. CO2: Both an Enemy and Friend. 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。有两项为多余选项。 Trees Provide Many Additional Benefits ___36___ Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors. Trees can improve your mental health. A study from The Nature Conservancy found that time in nature around trees correlated with a drop in anxiety and depression. ___37___ The solution for the city blues? Nature, specifically trees. Just looking at trees lowers blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes, according to a Texas A&M study. Trees increase health. Neighborhoods with a high tree density (密度) rate report 25% lower childhood asthma (哮喘) rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles (颗粒) out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.” ___38___ Trees make city areas cooler and safer. “Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says. “___39___” And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors. ___40___ A. Trees make your house greener. B. Trees can lower your power bill. C. That can prevent heat-related deaths. D. Every tree helps, and the benefits add up. E. Trees still came out as being crime fighters. F.

I asked mum. "Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun," mum said. "Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun?" I puzzled. For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine — on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy for picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, "Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish? People are so inconsiderate I" However, shortly after, I realized picking up the rubbish was not someone ease's problem. Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it. During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day,I had an epiphany(顿悟):"I'm acting just like Vest Lady!" But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street,pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic. alone was too weak J How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal? A smart idea flashed into my mind. 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。 Soon I created my website go picking up com. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ More and more people on vests with their own names. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$力部分请。看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
