C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了wikiHow网站的功能和文章编辑过程。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“For 18 years, we’ve committed to our step-by-step teaching model and continue to create the best how-to experience on the Internet. We’ve helped millions of people solve problems, learn new skills, and feel supported in the ordinary and complex moments of life.( 18年来，我们一直致力于循序渐进的教学模式，并继续创造最好的互联网体验。我们已经帮助数百万人解决问题，学习新技能，并在生活中的普通和复杂时刻感受到支持。)”可知，该网站的主要目标是为读者提供解决问题的具体指导和建议。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据 DIY, Joy Cho, Founder & Creative Director部分中“Founder and Creative Director of lifestyle brand and design studio. Authored three books and consulted for creative businesses around the world.(生活方式品牌及设计工作室创始人及创意总监。撰写了三本书，并为世界各地的创意企业提供咨询。)”可知，Joy Cho为创意性商业提供咨询，如果你打算开一个纪念品店，或许是最有帮助的。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Our Expert Team wikiHow partners with over 1,000 experts from a wide range of fields to ensure our content is accurate and based on well- established research.( 我们的专家团队与来自广泛领域的1000多名专家合作，以确保我们的内容准确无误，并基于完善的研究。)”；表格中ACCURACY REVIEW部分中“Article submissions are reviewed by Content Managers to ensure they are well- researched.(文章提交由内容管理人员审查，以确保它们经过充分研究。)”以及表格中EXPERT INPUT部分中“Articles are expanded and reviewed by an appropriate expert.( 文章由合适的专家进行扩展和审查。)”可知，内容经理和专家的共同责任是确保文章的可信度。故选C。 B When I challenged myself to travel by low-carbon routes during the writing of my book, I experienced the best and worst of our transit network. When public transport works, it really works. I found traveling by train and bike empowering. But even in this time of climate emergency, public transport still remains an unpopular choice. It doesn’t take many strikes, cancellations, missed connections and rising ticket prices to avoid it altogether. When the average British person already spends around £ 3,500 a year on car costs, it’s no wonder we prefer the driver’s seat. Yet there are many reasons we should be using public transport more, with one being the bonus to the environment they bring. Recent research shows that UK trains have higher carbon savings than previously thought. For my Scottish journey, had I traveled a similar route from London to Edinburgh by car, my journey’s emissions would supposedly have increased 10-fold. E-bike rental schemes have also increased across the UK, and so has cycling in general, but this mode of transport isn’t always planned for. All over the country, dedicated (专用的) bike lanes are way too rare. All of this has revealed to me that while the UK’s transport infrastructure (基础设施) is poor, its potential is significant. We know how effective electrified rail routes can be in decarbonization, but in 2021-22 little more than a mile of such track was upgraded across Britain. Centrally funded investment could change things. The rest of Europe seems to recognize this. If I were in Austria, I could travel across Vienna by public transport for €l a day. In Germany, I could organize a monthly €49 direct debit for all-inclusive regional public transport. Closer to home, Brighton and Hove have the most popular bus network outside London. We must demand a nationalized low-carbon network, A standardized, centrally funded consistently supported ecosystem of public transport across the UK could truly change our carbon game. 24. What does the underlined word “empowering” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Sparking debate. B. Causing confusion. C. Giving strength or confidence. D. Leading to complaints and protests. 25. What is the problem with implementing e-bike rental schemes? A. High rental fees. B. Potential safety problems. C. Lack of public interest. D. Insufficient infrastructure 26. Why does the author mention Austria and Germany? A. To compare the costs of public transport. B To predict the challenges of UK’s public transport. C. To contrast with the state of UK’s public transportation. D. To illustrate the popularity of public transport in Europe 27. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Transforming carbon game: The Eco-Boost on Rails. B. Revolutionizing UK Transport: The Green Ride Ahead. C. Empowering Global travelling: A Long March on Land. D. Revolutionizing UK City Life: The Tech Leap on Tracks. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了英国公共交通的现状、问题以及改进的可能性，并呼吁建立国家化的低碳公共交通网络。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“When I challenged myself to travel by low-carbon routes during the writing of my book, I experienced the best and worst of our transit network. When public transport works, it really works. (在写书期间，我给自己设定了一个挑战，即通过低碳出行方式旅行，这让我亲身体验了我们交通网络的优与劣。当公共交通运行顺畅时，它的表现真的非常出色。)”可知，作者写书时挑战自己使用低碳出行方式，因此可推测作者认为乘坐火车和自行车旅行是积极正面的经历，划线的“empowering”应表示“给予力量或信心”。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“All over the country, dedicated (专用的) bike lanes are way too rare. (在全国各地，专用的自行车道太少了。)”可知，实施电动自行车租赁计划存在的问题是基础设施不足。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The rest of Europe seems to recognize this. If I were in Austria, I could travel across Vienna by public transport for €1 a day. In Germany, I could organize a monthly €49 direct debit for all-inclusive regional public transport. Closer to home, Brighton and Hove have the most popular bus network outside London. (欧洲其他国家似乎都认识到了这一点。如果我在奥地利，我可以每天花1欧元乘公共交通穿越维也纳。在德国，我可以每月安排49欧元的直接借记，用于全包的区域公共交通。离家更近的地方，布赖顿和霍夫拥有伦敦以外最受欢迎的公交网络。)”可知，作者提到奥地利和德国是为了与英国公共交通的状况形成对比。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了英国公共交通的现状、问题以及改进的可能性，并呼吁建立国家化的低碳公共交通网络，由此可知，B项“英国交通革命：前方的绿色之旅。”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 C When caught in the rain, we have all run for cover——often to a nearby tree. On the way, we step over short-lived puddles and hastily formed streams, marveling at how quickly the soil changes from supportive and predictable to untrustworthy: slippery, soft, and spongy. At the first chance we tend to flee, skipping further observation. Given that direct observations are often unfeasible (难实行的), remote observation systems are crucial in capturing phenomena that are frequent and unpredictable. However, the Bimbache community of El Hierro observed water running down tree bark during fog events and captured it for drinking, washing and agriculture. If more contemporary hydrologists (水文学家) had watched the raking of fog by trees, forest managers may not have logged the Bull Run Watershed, which reduced local rainfall by 30%. An interdisciplinary research team led by John Van Stan from Cleveland State University argues that scientists should go beyond the laboratory to directly observe weather phenomena. The researchers insist that hands-on observation of storm events is crucial in comprehending the complexities of wet weather. “ Natural scientists seem increasingly content to stay dry and rely on remote sensors and samplers, models, and virtual experiments to understand natural systems. Consequently, we can miss important stormy phenomena, imaginative inspiration, and opportunities to build intuition (直觉),” said Van Stan’ s team. For instance, in describing rainwater’s flow from the forest treetops to the soils, the authors note that “if several branches efficiently capture and carry storm water to the stem, rainwater inputs to near-stem soils can be more than 100 times greater”. Likewise, water vapor clouds trapped beneath forest treetop covers may escape remote detection, yet be sensitive to scientists on the ground. Van Stan and colleagues see core value in first-hand storm experiences — not only for natural scientists, but also students studying the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. 28. How do people tend to react to rain? A. In a defensive manner. B. In a scientific manner. C. With a wait-and-see attitude. D. With an observation-oriented attitude. 29. What can be learned from the 2nd paragraph? A. The Bimbache community’s way of using fog water is primitive and inefficient. B. Remote observation systems are the only reliable way to study natural phenomena. C The relationship between forests and local rainfall is more complex than previously thought. D. Contemporary hydrologists have been aware of the importance of trees in capturing fog water. 30. What does Van Stan’s research team argue in terms of hands-on observation? A. It is effortless and precise. B. It is virtual and accepted. C. It is complex yet time-saving. D. It is essential yet neglected. 31. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A research paper. C. An argumentative essay. D. A descriptive passage. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章先指出人们遇到下雨时的常见反应，接着通过实例说明直接观察的重要性，以及现在自然科学家过于依赖远程观测系统而忽视了直接观察的问题，最后强调了亲身观察暴风雨现象对于自然科学家和研究气候变化对生态系统影响的学生的核心价值。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When caught in the rain, we have all run for cover——often to a nearby tree. On the way, we step over short-lived puddles and hastily formed streams, marveling at how quickly the soil changes from supportive and predictable to untrustworthy: slippery, soft, and spongy. At the first chance we tend to flee, skipping further observation(当遭遇降雨时，我们都会跑去寻找遮蔽处——通常是跑到附近的一棵树旁。在路上，我们跨过短暂存在的水坑和匆忙形成的溪流，惊叹于土壤从坚实可靠、可预测，迅速变得不可靠：湿滑、松软且像海绵一样。一有机会，我们往往就会逃离，不再做进一步观察)”可知，当人们遇到下雨时，会跑到附近的树下躲避，在这个过程中只是惊叹土壤的变化，一有机会就会逃离，不再进一步观察。这表明人们对雨的反应是一种防御性的方式，即先保护自己免受雨淋，而不是以科学的、观察导向的态度或者等待观望的态度去对待雨。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the Bimbache community of El Hierro observed water running down tree bark during fog events and captured it for drinking, washing and agriculture. If more contemporary hydrologists (水文学家) had watched the raking of fog by trees, forest managers may not have logged the Bull Run Watershed, which reduced local rainfall by 30%(然而，耶罗岛的宾巴切社区观察到在雾天，水从树皮上流下，并将其收集起来用于饮用、洗涤和农业。如果更多当代水文学家观察到树木对雾气的收集作用，森林管理者可能就不会砍伐布尔溪流域的树木，这使得当地降雨量减少了30%)”可知，Bimbache社区观察到雾天树木树皮上有水并加以利用，而如果当代水文学家能观察到树木对雾的收集作用，森林管理者可能就不会砍伐Bull Run流域的树木，因为砍伐树木导致当地降雨量减少了 30%。这说明森林和当地降雨之间的关系比以前认为的更复杂，树木对降雨有着重要的影响，而之前可能没有充分认识到这一点。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“An interdisciplinary research team led by John Van Stan from Cleveland State University argues that scientists should go beyond the laboratory to directly observe weather phenomena. The researchers insist that hands - on observation of storm events is crucial in comprehending the complexities of wet weather(由克利夫兰州立大学的约翰・范・斯坦领导的一个跨学科研究团队认为，科学家应该走出实验室，直接观察天气现象。研究人员坚持认为，亲身观察暴风雨事件对于理解潮湿天气的复杂性至关重要)”以及第四段“Natural scientists seem increasingly content to stay dry and rely on remote sensors and samplers, models, and virtual experiments to understand natural systems. Consequently, we can miss important stormy phenomena, imaginative inspiration, and opportunities to build intuition (直觉),” said Van Stan’ s team(范・斯坦的团队表示：“自然科学家似乎越来越满足于不接触实际情况，依赖远程传感器、采样器、模型和虚拟实验来了解自然系统。因此，我们可能会错过重要的暴风雨现象、富有想象力的灵感以及建立直觉的机会)”可知，Van Stan 的研究团队认为科学家应该走出实验室直接观察天气现象，亲身观察暴风雨事件对于理解潮湿天气的复杂性至关重要，然而现在自然科学家越来越满足于保持干燥，依赖远程传感器等去了解自然系统，这导致他们错过了重要的暴风雨现象、想象力的灵感和建立直觉的机会。这说明亲身观察是至关重要的，但却被忽视了。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When caught in the rain, we have all run for cover——often to a nearby tree.

Today’s algorithms process information in dynamic states, proving that data’s essence depends on how we frame its purpose. Like time for St. Augustine, data goes against absolute definition. What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost? What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption? As AI’s energy demands equal small nations’ electricity use, we’re realizing that taming tech’s environmental impact requires reimagining our relationship with information. Could recalibrating (校准)data’s value enhance planetary health? My team has prototyped a “Biosphere Clock” tracking real-time emissions from global cloud servers. Hosted at the Singapore Science Centre, it synchronizes with conventional network timestamps when emissions stay within Paris Agreement targets. Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices. This system exposes both sudden energy spikes and decade-long trends. Like ancient Sundials relating human activity to solar cycles, it lets users observe digital consumption through an ecological lens. Citizens adopting Biosphere Time might postpone non-urgent uploads during high-emission periods, while enterprises could optimize server loads. Early tests in Stockholm (瑞典首都) showed a 17% drop in peak-hour data traffic when the clock turned “red”. Though innovative in its metrics (衡量标准), this approach echoes pre-industrial societies that scheduled harvests by seasons. The Biosphere Clock, much like Andean farmers reading stars for planting, grounds our digital age in Earth’s rhythms. By making abstract emissions seen, it might spark the cultural shift needed to sustain both our virtual and natural worlds. When Turing cracked the Enigma code, he demonstrated data’s contextual power. Similarly, every data framework gains meaning through its chosen perspective. Whether measuring in bits, joules (焦耳), or ecosystem impacts, each metric reveals truths——and hides others——based on what we prioritize. 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Data storage has evolved beyond binary systems. B. Data’s nature changes with measurement frameworks. C. Quantum computing revolutionized information theory. D. Mathematics struggles to define information absolutely. 33. The author raises questions in Paragraph 2 primarily to ________. A. challenge a technical standard. B. criticize energy-inefficient AI models. C. propose an ecological methodology. D. highlight historical measurement errors. 34. What can be inferred about the Biosphere Clock? A. It restricts data access during high-emission periods. B. Its speed inversely relates to green energy adoption. C. It replaces network timestamps with emission metrics. D. Its Stockholm trial eliminated unnecessary data traffic. 35. Which message does the passage emphasize? A. Technological progress must respect ecological boundaries. B. Historical data practices outperform modern algorithms. C. Data’s true value lies in its commercial applications. D. Absolute measurement systems guarantee sustainability. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了数据的本质与衡量方式，提出用数据的生态成本来衡量数据，介绍了“生物圈时钟”这一创新系统及其作用，强调技术进步应尊重生态界限。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Twentieth-century mathematician Alan Turing theorized that data could be encoded in binary (二维码) logic, yet modern quantum computing reveals its fluid nature. Today’s algorithms process information in dynamic states, proving that data’s essence depends on how we frame its purpose. Like time for St. Augustine, data goes against absolute definition(20世纪的数学家艾伦・图灵提出理论，认为数据可以用二进制逻辑进行编码，然而现代量子计算揭示了数据的流动性本质。如今的算法以动态状态处理信息，证明了数据的本质取决于我们如何界定其用途。就像圣奥古斯丁对时间的理解一样，数据无法被绝对定义)”可知，第一段先提到图灵认为数据可用二进制编码，接着指出量子计算显示数据的流动性，如今算法处理信息的状态表明数据本质取决于用途界定，说明数据的本质会随着衡量框架的变化而改变。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost? What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption? As AI’s energy demands equal small nations’ electricity use, we’re realizing that taming tech’s environmental impact requires reimagining our relationship with information. Could recalibrating (校准)data’s value enhance planetary health?( 如果我们不是根据数据的存储容量，而是根据其生态成本来衡量数据会怎样呢？如果“数据足迹”—— 服务器和电子垃圾对环境造成的损害 —— 决定了我们的数字消费又会怎样呢？随着人工智能的能源需求相当于一些小国家的用电量，我们意识到，要控制技术对环境的影响，就需要重新审视我们与信息的关系。重新校准数据的价值能否增进地球的健康呢？)”可知，要控制技术对环境的影响，就需要重新审视我们与信息的关系。重新校准数据的价值能否增进地球的健康呢？可推理出作者提出这些问题是为了引出用生态成本衡量数据、重新审视与信息的关系以及通过校准数据价值增进地球健康等观点，也就是提出一种基于生态的方法学。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices(如果服务器农场的碳排放超过了限制，这个时钟就会加速，让我们无节制的流媒体播放习惯显现出来。如果绿色能源的采用取得进展，时钟就会变慢，这是对具有生态意识的数据使用行为的奖励)”可知，当绿色能源使用增加时，时钟变慢，说明它的速度与绿色能源的采用成反比关系。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost? What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption?( 如果我们不是用存储容量来衡量数据，而是用其生态成本来衡量，会怎样呢？如果“数据足迹”——服务器和电子垃圾对环境的影响——决定了我们的数字消费习惯，又会如何呢？)”、第三段“My team has prototyped a “Biosphere Clock” tracking real-time emissions from global cloud servers. Hosted at the Singapore Science Centre, it synchronizes with conventional network timestamps when emissions stay within Paris Agreement targets. Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices(我的团队已经开发了一个“生物圈时钟”原型，实时追踪全球云服务器的排放量。该时钟设在新加坡科学中心，当排放量保持在《巴黎协定》目标内时，它会与常规网络时间戳同步。如果服务器集群超过碳排放限制，时钟就会加速，使我们的狂看流媒体习惯变得显而易见。如果绿色能源的采用取得进展，时钟就会减速，以奖励环保的数据实践)”以及倒数第二段“By making abstract emissions seen, it might spark the cultural shift needed to sustain both our virtual and natural worlds(通过让抽象的排放变得可见，它可能会引发维持我们的虚拟世界和自然世界所需的文化转变)”可知，文章从数据的本质与衡量方式引出用生态成本衡量数据的观点，介绍了“生物圈时钟”这一系统来让人们关注数据使用的生态影响，最后强调通过这种方式可能引发文化转变，维持虚拟世界和自然世界的可持续发展，整体强调技术进步必须尊重生态界限。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you are hungry, how will you respond?

He was known for his kindness and lively spirit. Hanson had a heart of gold; he loved helping others which made him a favorite among his teachers and classmates. His academic performance was commendable, and punctuality was one of his strongest virtues. For instance, no matter the weather — be it a scorching hot day or a chilly, rainy morning — Hanson would always be the first to arrive at school, his backpack slung over one shoulder, a bright smile lighting up his face. However, despite his many admirable qualities, Hanson harbored a secret fear: dogs. Ever since he was a little boy, the mere sight of a dog could send shivers down his spine. One particular memory stood out vividly in his mind. It was a sunny afternoon when he was playing in the park with his friends. Suddenly, a large, friendly-looking dog approached them, wagging its tail. While the other children laughed and played with the dog, Hanson froze, feeling a mix of fear and embarrassment. From that day on, he avoided any situation where he might encounter a dog, even if it meant taking a longer route home from school. One day, Hanson woke up early as usual, ready to start another day at school. As he walked along the busy street, his eyes were fixed on the path ahead, determined not to be late. But then, something unusual caught his attention. A small puppy was wandering alone in the middle of the road, running nervously among cars. The traffic was heavy, and the danger was apparent. Without a second thought, Hanson’s fear of dogs was overshadowed by his concern for the puppy’s safety. He knew what he had to do. Ignoring his own fear, Hanson bravely stepped into the road, calling softly to the puppy. With gentle hands, he picked up the trembling puppy and carried it to the side of the road. He looked around, hoping to spot the puppy’s owner, but there was no sign of anyone. Time ticked away, and Hanson realized he was going to be late for school. However, the puppy’s well-being was more important than being punctual. After waiting for a while with no luck, Hanson became a little anxious. He couldn’t wait there for long. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Hanson had an idea. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, Hanson’s fear of dogs totally faded. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then, Hanson had an idea. He decided to take the puppy to a nearby shop, explaining the situation to the shopkeeper and asking him to look after the puppy until its owner could be found. The rest of the school day seemed to drag on for Hanson. All he could think about was the little puppy. As soon as the final bell rang, Hanson rushed back to the shop. To his dismay, the puppy was nowhere to be seen. His heart sank, and he anxiously asked the shopkeeper about the puppy. Relief washed over him when the shopkeeper explained that he had managed to find the puppy’s owner. The owner was so grateful that they had asked the shopkeeper to convey their heartfelt thanks to Hanson. From that day forward, Hanson’s fear of dogs totally faded. He felt a sense of joy and pride, not just because he had overcome his fear of dogs, but because he had helped a vulnerable creature in need. He is never afraid of dogs anymore. He even asked his parents to buy a dog for him. The experience taught him that sometimes, the most rewarding moments come from stepping outside of one’s comfort zone and doing what is right, regardless of personal fears. And so, Hanson continued to live his life with courage and compassion, ready to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever it was needed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小学六年级的学生汉森有许多令人钦佩的品质，但是他害怕狗。某天上学路上他遇到了一只狗，因为担心他把狗带到了商店，放学后去被店主告知狗的主人已经找到了。从此，汉森克服了对狗的恐惧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时，汉森有了一个主意”可知，第一段可描写汉森的做法以及小狗的主人被找到的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，汉森对狗的恐惧完全消失了”可知，第二段可描写汉森不再害怕狗以及汉森的感悟。 2.续写线索：有了主意——带到商店——主人找到——不再害怕——汉森感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①照顾：look after/take care of ②克服：overcome/get over ③席卷：wash over /flood over 情绪类 ①感激：grateful/thankful ②高兴：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] The owner was so grateful that they had asked the shopkeeper to convey their heartfelt thanks to Hanson.

When public transport works, it really works. I found traveling by train and bike empowering. But even in this time of climate emergency, public transport still remains an unpopular choice. It doesn’t take many strikes, cancellations, missed connections and rising ticket prices to avoid it altogether. When the average British person already spends around £ 3,500 a year on car costs, it’s no wonder we prefer the driver’s seat. Yet, there are many reasons we should be using public transport more, with one being the bonus to the environment they bring. Recent research shows that UK trains have higher carbon savings than previously thought. For my Scottish journey, had I traveled a similar route from London to Edinburgh by car, my journey’s emissions would supposedly have increased 10-fold. E-bike rental schemes have also increased across the UK, and so has cycling in general, but this mode of transport isn’t always planned for. All over the country, dedicated (专用的) bike lanes are way too rare. All of this has revealed to me that while the UK’s transport infrastructure (基础设施) is poor, its potential is significant. We know how effective electrified rail routes can be in decarbonization, but in 2021-22 little more than a mile of such track was upgraded across Britain. Centrally funded investment could change things. The rest of Europe seems to recognize this. If I were in Austria, I could travel across Vienna by public transport for €l a day. In Germany, I could organize a monthly €49 direct debit for all-inclusive regional public transport. Closer to home, Brighton and Hove have the most popular bus network outside London. We must demand a nationalized low-carbon network, A standardized, centrally funded consistently supported ecosystem of public transport across the UK could truly change our carbon game. 24. What does the underlined word “empowering” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Sparking debate. B. Causing confusion. C. Giving strength or confidence. D. Leading to complaints and protests. 25. What is the problem with implementing e-bike rental schemes? A. High rental fees. B. Potential safety problems. C. Lack of public interest. D. Insufficient infrastructure 26. Why does the author mention Austria and Germany? A. To compare the costs of public transport. B. To predict the challenges of UK’s public transport. C. To contrast with the state of UK’s public transportation. D. To illustrate the popularity of public transport in Europe 27. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Transforming carbon game: The Eco-Boost on Rails. B. Revolutionizing UK Transport: The Green Ride Ahead. C. Empowering Global travelling: A Long March on Land. D. Revolutionizing UK City Life: The Tech Leap on Tracks. C When caught in the rain, we have all run for cover——often to a nearby tree. On the way, we step over short-lived puddles and hastily formed streams, marveling at how quickly the soil changes from supportive and predictable to untrustworthy: slippery, soft, and spongy. At the first chance we tend to flee, skipping further observation. Given that direct observations are often unfeasible (难实行的), remote observation systems are crucial in capturing phenomena that are frequent and unpredictable. However, the Bimbache community of El Hierro observed water running down tree bark during fog events and captured it for drinking, washing and agriculture. If more contemporary hydrologists (水文学家) had watched the raking of fog by trees, forest managers may not have logged the Bull Run Watershed, which reduced local rainfall by 30%. An interdisciplinary research team led by John Van Stan from Cleveland State University argues that scientists should go beyond the laboratory to directly observe weather phenomena. The researchers insist that hands-on observation of storm events is crucial in comprehending the complexities of wet weather. “ Natural scientists seem increasingly content to stay dry and rely on remote sensors and samplers, models, and virtual experiments to understand natural systems. Consequently, we can miss important stormy phenomena, imaginative inspiration, and opportunities to build intuition (直觉),” said Van Stan’ s team. For instance, in describing rainwater’s flow from the forest treetops to the soils, the authors note that “if several branches efficiently capture and carry storm water to the stem, rainwater inputs to near-stem soils can be more than 100 times greater”. Likewise, water vapor clouds trapped beneath forest treetop covers may escape remote detection, yet be sensitive to scientists on the ground. Van Stan and colleagues see core value in first-hand storm experiences — not only for natural scientists, but also students studying the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. 28. How do people tend to react to rain? A. In a defensive manner. B. In a scientific manner. C. With a wait-and-see attitude. D. With an observation-oriented attitude. 29. What can be learned from the 2nd paragraph? A. The Bimbache community’s way of using fog water is primitive and inefficient. B. Remote observation systems are the only reliable way to study natural phenomena. C. The relationship between forests and local rainfall is more complex than previously thought. D. Contemporary hydrologists have been aware of the importance of trees in capturing fog water. 30. What does Van Stan’s research team argue in terms of hands-on observation? A. It is effortless and precise. B. It is virtual and accepted. C. It is complex yet time-saving. D. It is essential yet neglected. 31. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A research paper. C. An argumentative essay. D. A descriptive passage. D Twentieth-century mathematician Alan Turing theorized that data could be encoded in binary (二维码) logic, yet modern quantum computing reveals its fluid nature. Today’s algorithms process information in dynamic states, proving that data’s essence depends on how we frame its purpose. Like time for St. Augustine, data goes against absolute definition. What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost? What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption? As AI’s energy demands equal small nations’ electricity use, we’re realizing that taming tech’s environmental impact requires reimagining our relationship with information. Could recalibrating (校准)data’s value enhance planetary health? My team has prototyped a “Biosphere Clock” tracking real-time emissions from global cloud servers. Hosted at the Singapore Science Centre, it synchronizes with conventional network timestamps when emissions stay within Paris Agreement targets. Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices. This system exposes both sudden energy spikes and decade-long trends. Like ancient Sundials relating human activity to solar cycles, it lets users observe digital consumption through an ecological lens. Citizens adopting Biosphere Time might postpone non-urgent uploads during high-emission periods, while enterprises could optimize server loads. Early tests in Stockholm (瑞典首都) showed a 17% drop in peak-hour data traffic when the clock turned “red”. Though innovative in its metrics (衡量标准), this approach echoes pre-industrial societies that scheduled harvests by seasons. The Biosphere Clock, much like Andean farmers reading stars for planting, grounds our digital age in Earth’s rhythms. By making abstract emissions seen, it might spark the cultural shift needed to sustain both our virtual and natural worlds. When Turing cracked the Enigma code, he demonstrated data’s contextual power. Similarly, every data framework gains meaning through its chosen perspective. Whether measuring in bits, joules (焦耳), or ecosystem impacts, each metric reveals truths——and hides others——based on what we prioritize. 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Data storage has evolved beyond binary systems. B. Data’s nature changes with measurement frameworks. C. Quantum computing revolutionized information theory. D. Mathematics struggles to define information absolutely. 33. The author raises questions in Paragraph 2 primarily to ________. A. challenge a technical standard. B. criticize energy-inefficient AI models. C. propose an ecological methodology. D. highlight historical measurement errors. 34. What can be inferred about the Biosphere Clock? A. It restricts data access during high-emission periods. B. Its speed inversely relates to green energy adoption. C. It replaces network timestamps with emission metrics. D. Its Stockholm trial eliminated unnecessary data traffic. 35. Which message does the passage emphasize? A. Technological progress must respect ecological boundaries. B. Historical data practices outperform modern algorithms. C. Data’s true value lies in its commercial applications. D. Absolute measurement systems guarantee sustainability. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you are hungry, how will you respond?

He was known for his kindness and lively spirit. Hanson had a heart of gold; he loved helping others, which made him a favorite among his teachers and classmates. His academic performance was commendable, and punctuality was one of his strongest virtues. For instance, no matter the weather — be it a scorching hot day or a chilly, rainy morning — Hanson would always be the first to arrive at school, his backpack slung over one shoulder, a bright smile lighting up his face. However, despite his many admirable qualities, Hanson harbored a secret fear: dogs. Ever since he was a little boy, the mere sight of a dog could send shivers down his spine. One particular memory stood out vividly in his mind. It was a sunny afternoon when he was playing in the park with his friends. Suddenly, a large, friendly-looking dog approached them, wagging its tail. While the other children laughed and played with the dog, Hanson froze, feeling a mix of fear and embarrassment. From that day on, he avoided any situation where he might encounter a dog, even if it meant taking a longer route home from school. One day, Hanson woke up early as usual, ready to start another day at school. As he walked along the busy street, his eyes were fixed on the path ahead, determined not to be late. But then, something unusual caught his attention. A small puppy was wandering alone in the middle of the road, running nervously among cars. The traffic was heavy, and the danger was apparent. Without a second thought, Hanson’s fear of dogs was overshadowed by his concern for the puppy’s safety. He knew what he had to do. Ignoring his own fear, Hanson bravely stepped into the road, calling softly to the puppy. With gentle hands, he picked up the trembling puppy and carried it to the side of the road. He looked around, hoping to spot the puppy’s owner, but there was no sign of anyone. Time ticked away, and Hanson realized he was going to be late for school. However, the puppy’s well-being was more important than being punctual. After waiting for a while with no luck, Hanson became a little anxious. He couldn’t wait there for long. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Hanson had an idea. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, Hanson’s fear of dogs totally faded. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
