A
Chengdu architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4, becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of architecture.
Liu’s projects include local elements and rely on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, The Spaces reported. “He has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award.
One of Liu’s best-known projects was the “rebirth bricks” he created after Wenchuan earthquake. To aid in reconstruction, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement and rubble from collapsed buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks were “a poetic metaphor” for the rebirth of the material and “the spiritual rebirth of the community at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian.
Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people, which is reflected in his largest project, West Village, an urban complex in Chengdu. It includes a soccer field, a market, and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the vitality of ’everydayness’”, wrote critic Austin Williams. It has become a popular destination for city residents to spend their leisure time.
“The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified (有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” Liu told China Daily.
21. Why was Liu awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize?
A. For the low-tech simplicity of his design.
B. For the everyday vitality shown by his projects.
C For the poetic metaphors conveyed by his works.
D. For the unique strategy adopted in his architecture.
22. What does the example of West Village show?
A. Chengdu people’s leisure activities. B. The success of Liu’s biggest project.
C. Liu’s concern about ordinary people. D. Liu’s purpose of designing buildings.
23. Which section of the newspaper is the text most likely from?
A. Technology. B. Feature. C. Economy. D. Environment.
B
I used to believe that only words could catch the essence (本质) of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0. 99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0. 99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0. 99 is only 0. 01 away from 1, there’s still a 0. 01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式) : 1= 0. 9, which could also be expressed as 1=0. 99999… repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0. 99999… and live a life like it.
24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their different sounds. D. Their expressive power.
25. What made the author find the equation attractive?
A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6?
A Measured. B. Mirrored. C. Composed. D. Influenced.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Perfect Equation. B. Numbers Build Equations.
C. An Attractive Question. D. Words Outperform Numbers.
C
Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.
One of the companies is EcoRobotix of Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry itself through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray weeds with small amounts of herbicide (除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smart phone.
The co-founder of EcoRobotix, Aurélien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.
Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”, which it claims is the world’s first smart sprayer. The system — which connects to the back of a tractor — is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of pigweed — and now it’s an expert in pigweed.”
28. How will AI benefit agriculture?
A. It will fund agriculture research. B. It can avoid harmful chemicals.
C. It contributes to low-cost farming. D. It frees all farmers from field work.
29. What do the products of the two companies have in common?
A. They use recognition technology.
B. They are powered by solar energy.
C. They are connected with smart phones.
D. They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.
30. What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot?
A. It can track various plants. B. It has the learning ability.
C. It is environmentally-friendly. D. It is good at self-improving.
31. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Modern See & Spray technology. B. The experiment in farming robots.
C. Artificial intelligence in agriculture. D. The new trend in artificial intelligence.
D
Think what the places you go to for nature was like in your parents’ or grandparents’ time. In many cases, the natural places of today are more developed or surrounded by more development, than they were decades ago. But to you, they still feel like nature.
That’s what psychology professor Peter Kahn calls “environmental generational amnesia (失忆症)”. What each generation comes to think of as “nature” is relative, based on what they’re exposed to.
In early research, Kahn studied children’s concepts of the environment in Houston, one of the largest and most polluted cities in the country. He found that, when children were asked about air pollution, most could explain it and point out other cities that were polluted — but not their own. “Each generation tends to see that degraded condition as the nondegraded condition, as the common experience,” Kahn wrote.
Interacting with nature makes a difference in how people view and move in the world, Kahn said. He turned to a preschool in Seattle and observed children developing skills in nature there. “The skills are not given,” Kahn said. “We have an entire generation that spends so much time in front of screens that, when they do go out into nature, they don’t know how to interact with it, or handle themselves.”
Meaningful interactions with nature not only can teach, but also help people revive, reflect and recognize the importance of the outdoors. Developing a “nature language” — meeting the environment in ways large and small that result in positive feelings — can begin to overturn environmental generational amnesia.
Here in Seattle, the city’s largest park can serve as a laboratory for how people interact with nature. “A park of that size allows for interactions with nature that are almost impossible to have in the city. It’s not enough, but it’s better than not having it.” Kahn said. “A bigger park is better than a smaller park, and a smaller park is better than no park. You can’t take nature for granted anywhere.”
32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Deforestation goes better. B. Nature disappears quickly.
C. The concept of nature changes. D. Environmental amnesia worsened.
33. What do children in Houston think of their environment?
A. Comfortable. B. Sustainable. C. Accessible. D. Acceptable.
34. From the text, meaningful interactions with nature may ________.
A. offer positive feelings B. improve people’s memory
C. make surroundings greener D. develop cities’ economy
35. What can we learn from Khan’s words in the last sentence?
A. Seattle’s parks aren’t natural. B. Seattle’s nature is well-preserved.
C. More parks should be encouraged. D. People can enjoy nature in the laboratory.

What’s social jet lag (社交时差)? Social jet lag occurs when you stay up later and then sleep in later on weekends than you do on weekdays. Changing the hours that you sleep from day to day affects your body’s natural internal clock.
Social jet lag affects the body similarly to travel jet lag. When you shift your sleeping hours, your body feels as if it were in a different time zone. ___36___ For example, if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning, you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night. This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime. ___37___
Yet frequently changing your body’s internal clock doesn’t just cause daytime sleepiness.
___38___ Social jet lag has been linked with several chronic (慢性的) health problems. Changes in internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (循环) system and raise the risk of heart disease. Individuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep.
Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag. ___39___ A 2019 study found that when participants kept their sleep and wakeup times within 15 to 30 minutes of the same time each day, they reported better sleep, less depression, and less stress. Study participants were also able to improve their cognitive reaction time scores.
___40___ If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one. While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day, you will likely notice the health benefits right away.
A. It can significantly impact your health as well.
B. This can make falling and staying asleep difficult.
C. Moreover, establishing a regular sleep schedule is crucial.
D. Adjust your sleep schedule, and everything will be OK.
E. This likely makes waking up early on Monday morning difficult.
F. Aim to go to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends.
G. In general, social jet lag is a common problem that we may all experience.

Tom Perry concentrated hard. The rocket competition would begin shortly. Every detail mattered, and he was determined not to overlook a single one. The pressure was huge, but Tom was accustomed to being on top. He had never tasted defeat, and he wasn’t about to start now.
The other children rarely approached him, and when they did, it felt forced. Tom preferred to keep to himself, confident in his ability to win yet again. He assembled(组装)his launch platform with great care, sorting through engines, igniters(点火器), and other tools in his toolbox. Suddenly, his igniter wire slipped from his grasp and disappeared into the grass. In a panic, he found another and carefully fitted it into place.
Tom checked his rocket again. It was perfect, but when he glanced at the others’ rockets, he found lots of problems immediately. One rocket, however, had the look of a winner. And Tom’s heart sank. A thin boy carried it carefully.
“Hi,” a voice interrupted his focus. It was the thin boy, Ed, offering a nervous smile, “Nice rocket.” Tom whispered thanks, eyes on his tools. He asked Ed where he tested his rockets because he had never seen him at the competitions before. Ed said he just practiced alone behind his house. Although Tom felt a bit nervous, he pretended not to care much about the contest. “Good luck,” said Tom, and he continued to concentrate on his own rocket.
As Ed lifted his rocket, Tom felt an increasing anxiety. Just then, he noticed a fin(尾翼)on Ed’s rocket had loosened. But Ed hadn’t noticed it. Tom felt a bit sorry but decided not to say anything.
As Ed’s turn approached, Tom’s heart jumped. He had to speak up, despite the risk of losing. “Ed, hold up!” he shouted, drawing the attention of the crowd.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

And you may wonder how that idea got started. Well, the actual idea is similar to some festivals in other countries, but it's related to the beginnings of north america. When the first englishman successfully arrived in sixteen, and what is now the state of massachusets, their first winter was difficult, and half of them died from disease and hunger. That doesn't sound like anything to celebrate, right? But in the following spring of their arrival, the native americans taught them how to grow corn and pumpkin, as well as how to hunt and fish. In the autumn of this year, after a successful food supply, englishman planned a great dinner and invited the local chief and ninety natives who brought popcorn with them, which, of course, was totally unknown in europe. This is the first thanksgiving in american history, and many ways of celebrating the first thanksgiving have been handed down to future generations.

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 和 D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Chengdu architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4, becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of architecture.
Liu’s projects include local elements and rely on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, The Spaces reported. “He has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award.
One of Liu’s best-known projects was the “rebirth bricks” he created after Wenchuan earthquake. To aid in reconstruction, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement and rubble from collapsed buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks were “a poetic metaphor” for the rebirth of the material and “the spiritual rebirth of the community at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian.
Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people, which is reflected in his largest project, West Village, an urban complex in Chengdu. It includes a soccer field, a market, and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the vitality of ’everydayness’”, wrote critic Austin Williams. It has become a popular destination for city residents to spend their leisure time.
“The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified (有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” Liu told China Daily.
21. Why was Liu awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize?
A. For the low-tech simplicity of his design.
B. For the everyday vitality shown by his projects.
C. For the poetic metaphors conveyed by his works.
D. For the unique strategy adopted in his architecture.
22. What does the example of West Village show?
A. Chengdu people’s leisure activities. B. The success of Liu’s biggest project.
C. Liu’s concern about ordinary people. D. Liu’s purpose of designing buildings.
23. Which section of the newspaper is the text most likely from?
A. Technology. B. Feature. C. Economy. D. Environment.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了成都建筑师刘家琨荣获2025年普利兹克建筑奖。

【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Chengdu architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4, becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of architecture. (3月4日,成都建筑师刘家琨荣获2025年普利兹克建筑奖,成为第二位获此建筑领域最高荣誉的中国建筑师)”可知,本文主要讲述了成都建筑师刘家琨荣获2025年普利兹克建筑奖的相关情况,包括他的设计理念、代表作品以及他对建筑目的的理解等,属于人物特写类文章。由此推知,本文最有可能来自报纸的“特写”版块。故选B。
B
I used to believe that only words could catch the essence (本质) of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0. 99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0. 99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0. 99 is only 0. 01 away from 1, there’s still a 0. 01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式) : 1= 0. 9, which could also be expressed as 1=0. 99999… repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0. 99999… and live a life like it.
24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their different sounds. D. Their expressive power.
25. What made the author find the equation attractive?
A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6?
A. Measured. B. Mirrored. C. Composed. D. Influenced.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Perfect Equation. B. Numbers Build Equations.
C. An Attractive Question. D. Words Outperform Numbers.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者在数学课上学了一个等式后的一些感悟。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I used to believe that only words could catch the essence (本质) of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.(我曾经相信,只有语言才能捕捉到人类灵魂的本质。文学作品包含了如此独特的故事,它们塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图揭示的问题,以及这些问题本身的答案)” 可推知,在第一段作者主要强调了语言的表达力量,故选 D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的:里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西,数字无限重复。然而,不知怎么的,这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了)”可知,作者觉得这个等式很迷人,因为数字虽然不同,但是却被等号连接起来了。由此可知,让作者觉得这个等式迷人的是两个不同的数相等的方式。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death.(等式的左边表示有时候生命本身是如此的不可改变,如此的清晰。你出生的日期和你死亡的日期的具体整数。但是生与死之间有一段距离)”可知,作者躺在床上思考的是这个等式与我们的存在是多么相似,划线词paralleled的意思是“与……十分相似”,和 mirrored意思相近,故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段“My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1= 0. 9, which could also be expressed as 1=0. 99999… repeating itself without ever ending.(我的老师给出了另一个等式:1=0. 9,也可以表示为1=0. 99999… 不断重复,没有尽头)”和第五段“There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的:里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西,数字无限重复。然而,不知怎么的,这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了)”可知,本文主要讲的是作者在数学课上学了一个等式后的一些感悟。由此可知,最恰当的标题是A 选项 “The Perfect Equation(完美的等式)”。故选A。
C
Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.
One of the companies is EcoRobotix of Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry itself through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray weeds with small amounts of herbicide (除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smart phone.
The co-founder of EcoRobotix, Aurélien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.
Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”, which it claims is the world’s first smart sprayer. The system — which connects to the back of a tractor — is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of pigweed — and now it’s an expert in pigweed.”
28. How will AI benefit agriculture?
A. It will fund agriculture research. B. It can avoid harmful chemicals.
C. It contributes to low-cost farming. D. It frees all farmers from field work.
29. What do the products of the two companies have in common?
A. They use recognition technology.
B. They are powered by solar energy.
C. They are connected with smart phones.
D. They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.
30. What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot?
A. It can track various plants. B. It has the learning ability.
C. It is environmentally-friendly. D. It is good at self-improving.
31. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Modern See & Spray technology. B. The experiment in farming robots.
C. Artificial intelligence in agriculture. D. The new trend in artificial intelligence.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了农业中的人工智能应用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals. (人工智能(AI)的研发在农业领域得到了广泛应用。公司正在试验高科技工具,这些工具可以帮助农民节省时间和金钱,同时减少对环境有害的化学物质)”可知,人工智能通过帮助农民节省时间和金钱,有助于低成本农业,从而使农业受益。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm.

(该系统连接到拖拉机的后部,也配备了人工智能,可以识别并仅用化学方法杀死杂草)”可知,两家公司的产品都使用了识别技术。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ben Chostner, vice president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of pigweed — and now it’s an expert in pigweed.” (蓝河科技公司业务发展副总裁本·乔斯特纳在公司视频中解释道,See & Spray技术使用了与面部识别相同的深度学习方法。“机器第一次看到苋草时,它不知道这是什么植物。但我们通过给它提供数万个苋草的例子来教它,现在它已经是苋草方面的专家了。”)”可知,本·乔斯特纳的话表明这个机器人有学习能力。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. (农业是研究和开发人工智能(AI)的重要行业之一)”可知,本文主要讲述了农业中的人工智能应用。故选C。
D
Think what the places you go to for nature was like in your parents’ or grandparents’ time. In many cases, the natural places of today are more developed or surrounded by more development, than they were decades ago. But to you, they still feel like nature.
That’s what psychology professor Peter Kahn calls “environmental generational amnesia (失忆症)”. What each generation comes to think of as “nature” is relative, based on what they’re exposed to.
In early research, Kahn studied children’s concepts of the environment in Houston, one of the largest and most polluted cities in the country. He found that, when children were asked about air pollution, most could explain it and point out other cities that were polluted — but not their own. “Each generation tends to see that degraded condition as the nondegraded condition, as the common experience,” Kahn wrote.
Interacting with nature makes a difference in how people view and move in the world, Kahn said. He turned to a preschool in Seattle and observed children developing skills in nature there. “The skills are not given,” Kahn said. “We have an entire generation that spends so much time in front of screens that, when they do go out into nature, they don’t know how to interact with it, or handle themselves.”
Meaningful interactions with nature not only can teach, but also help people revive, reflect and recognize the importance of the outdoors. Developing a “nature language” — meeting the environment in ways large and small that result in positive feelings — can begin to overturn environmental generational amnesia.
Here in Seattle, the city’s largest park can serve as a laboratory for how people interact with nature. “A park of that size allows for interactions with nature that are almost impossible to have in the city. It’s not enough, but it’s better than not having it.” Kahn said. “A bigger park is better than a smaller park, and a smaller park is better than no park. You can’t take nature for granted anywhere.”
32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Deforestation goes better. B. Nature disappears quickly.
C. The concept of nature changes. D. Environmental amnesia worsened.
33. What do children in Houston think of their environment?
A Comfortable. B. Sustainable. C. Accessible. D. Acceptable.
34. From the text, meaningful interactions with nature may ________.
A. offer positive feelings B. improve people’s memory
C. make surroundings greener D. develop cities’ economy
35. What can we learn from Khan’s words in the last sentence?
A. Seattle’s parks aren’t natural. B. Seattle’s nature is well-preserved.
C. More parks should be encouraged. D. People can enjoy nature in the laboratory.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了“环境代际失忆症”这一现象,即每一代人对于“自然”的概念是相对的,并基于他们所接触到的环境来形成。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Think what the places you go to for nature was like in your parents’ or grandparents’ time. In many cases, the natural places of today are more developed or surrounded by more development, than they were decades ago. But to you, they still feel like nature.(想想在你父母或祖父母的时代,你去大自然的地方是什么样子的。在许多情况下,今天的自然环境比几十年前更加发达,或者被更多的开发所包围。但对你来说,它们仍然像大自然一样)”和第二段“That’s what psychology professor Peter Kahn calls “environmental generational amnesia (失忆症)”. What each generation comes to think of as “nature” is relative, based on what they’re exposed to.(这就是心理学教授彼得·卡恩所说的“环境代际失忆症”。每一代人对“自然”的看法都是相对的,这取决于他们所接触到的环境)”可知,虽然对所有人来说,自然环境仍然像大自然一样,但是和之前相比自然的概念改变了。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Interacting with nature makes a difference in how people view and move in the world, Kahn said. He turned to a preschool in Seattle and observed children developing skills in nature there. “The skills are not given,” Kahn said. “We have an entire generation that spends so much time in front of screens that, when they do go out into nature, they don’t know how to interact with it, or handle themselves.”(在早期的研究中,Kahn研究了休斯顿儿童对环境的概念,休斯顿是美国最大、污染最严重的城市之一。他发现,当孩子们被问及空气污染时,大多数人都能解释清楚,并指出其他被污染的城市——但不是他们自己的城市。卡恩写道:“每一代人都倾向于将退化的状况视为未退化的状况,视为共同的经历。”)”可知,休斯顿的孩子认为他们的环境是可以接受的。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Meaningful interactions with nature not only can teach, but also help people revive, reflect and recognize the importance of the outdoors. Developing a “nature language” — meeting the environment in ways large and small that result in positive feelings — can begin to overturn environmental generational amnesia.(与大自然有意义的互动不仅可以教育,还可以帮助人们恢复活力,反思和认识到户外活动的重要性。发展一种“自然语言”——以大大小小的方式适应环境,从而产生积极的感觉——可以开始推翻环境世代的健忘症)”可知,从文章来看,与自然有意义的互动可能会带来积极的感觉。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Here in Seattle, the city’s largest park can serve as a laboratory for how people interact with nature. “A park of that size allows for interactions with nature that are almost impossible to have in the city. It’s not enough, but it’s better than not having it.” Kahn said. “A bigger park is better than a smaller park, and a smaller park is better than no park. You can’t take nature for granted anywhere.”(在西雅图,这座城市最大的公园可以作为人类与自然互动的实验室。“这种规模的公园可以让人们与自然互动,这在城市里几乎是不可能的。这还不够,但总比没有好。”Kahn说。“大公园比小公园好,小公园也比没有公园好。在任何地方,你都不能把自然视为理所当然。”)”可知,大公园比小公园好,小公园也比没有公园好,所以应该鼓励更多的公园。故选C项。

【答案】36. B 37. E 38. A 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交时差、其危害以及应对方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“When you shift your sleeping hours, your body feels as if it were in a different time zone.(当你改变睡眠时间时,你的身体会感觉好像处于不同的时区)”可知,本句承接上文,说明身体感觉处于不同的时区所带来的影响,B选项“这会使入睡和保持睡眠变得困难”是对其解释说明,This指代改变睡眠时间这种情况。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“For example, if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning, you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night. This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime.(例如,如果你周六晚熬夜,周日早上又睡过头,那么周日晚上你可能很难入睡。这是因为你身体没有清醒足够的时间,在你通常的周日就寝时间感到疲倦)”可知,周日晚上你很可能很难入睡,会导致周一早上早起变得困难, 故E选项“这可能使得周一早上很难早起”符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Yet, frequently changing your body’s internal clock doesn’t just cause daytime sleepiness.(然而,频繁改变身体的生物钟并不仅仅会导致白天困倦)”以及后文“Social jet lag has been linked with several chronic (慢性的) health problems. Changes in internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (循环) system and raise the risk of heart disease. Individuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep.(社交时差与几种慢性健康问题有关。睡眠时间不一致导致的生物钟变化会导致循环系统的变化,从而增加患心脏病的风险。经常经历社交时差的人也更有可能吸烟和摄入更多的咖啡因。这些习惯会严重影响睡眠)”可知,本段主要说明了改变生物钟对健康的影响。A 选项“它也会极大地影响你的健康”符合语境。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag.(坚持你的睡眠时间表是解决社交时差的一个重要部分)”可知,本段主要介绍社交时差的解决方法:尽量每天在同一时间上床睡觉, 即使在周末也是如此。F选项“每天在同一时间上床睡觉,即使是在周末”符合语境,故选F。
【40题详解】
根据后文“If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends, it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one. While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day, you will likely notice the health benefits right away.( 如果你经常在周末改变你的正常睡眠时间表,也许是时候试着保持一个更一致的时间表了。虽然每天保持相同的睡眠时间可能很难,但你可能会立即注意到健康的好处)”可知,本句叙述“社交时差”的事实现象,后面给出解决方法,故G选项“总的来说,社交时差是我们都可能经历过的一个普遍问题”符合语境。故选G。

Bai Peilan is the Chinese name of Mexican professor Flora Botton Beja. In her 90s, she ____57____ (honor) with the outstanding achievement award at the Orchid Awards last year, in ____58____ (recognize) of decades of devotion to studying and introducing China not only to Mexico, but to all Spanish-speaking ____59____ (country).

【答案】56. showing
57. was honored
58. recognition
59. countries
60. remarkable
61. that 62. what
63. to understand
64. for 65. is
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了墨西哥汉学家Flora Botton Beja(中文名白佩兰)在九十多岁时被授予兰花奖的杰出成就奖,以表彰她数十年来致力于研究和传播中国文化的贡献。
【56题详解】
考查独立主格结构。句意:“白佩兰”这个名字在兰花奖的获奖者名单上脱颖而出,它的古典中国品质与其他外国人的名字形成鲜明对比,这些名字被称赞促进了中国与世界其他地区的文化交流。句中无连词,故逗号后为独立主格结构,逻辑主语Chinese quality与show“展示”为主谓关系,故用“名词+现在分词”结构。故填showing。
【57题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:去年,90多岁的她被授予兰花奖杰出成就奖,以表彰她几十年来致力于研究和向墨西哥以及所有西班牙语国家介绍中国的努力。此处为谓语动词的填入,此处表示已经发生的事情,且she与honor是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语she表示单数意义,be动词使用was。故填was honored。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。根据空前的in和空后的of可知,空处用名词作介词in的宾语。in recognition of表示“为了表彰……”。故填recognition。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同上。country是可数名词,由all可知应用名词复数形式,故填countries。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Botton出生于希腊,15岁时移居墨西哥,在那里开始了一段非凡的旅程,最终将她的生活与中国人的生活紧紧联系在一起。此处用形容词作定语,修饰名词journey,remarkable意为“非凡的”。故填remarkable。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。此处指“中国人的生活”,和前文“她的生活”表示同名异物指代。故填that。
【62题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:对她来说,一开始是一个合适的学术安排,最终发展成为对中国的深刻热爱。分析句子可知,空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语,指代具体的事情,所以为连接代词what引导。故填what。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为墨西哥最早关注中国的学者之一,Botton选择探索中国传统文化的丰富方面,这反映了她“必须了解过去才能了解现在”的信念。分析句子可知,空处所在部分为目的状语,故用不定式形式。故填to understand。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:深入研究这两种不同的文化后,Botton得出结论:尊重老人以及家庭关系的传统价值观在墨西哥和中国都具有重要意义。respect for...“尊重,重视”是固定搭配,所以此处为介词for的填入。故填for。
【65题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:同上。as well as连接并列主语时,谓语遵循就远原则,即谓语动词的选择应该和as well as前面的成分保持一致。respect for the elderly表示单数概念,谓语动词用单数形式。又因此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时。故填is。

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom Perry concentrated hard. The rocket competition would begin shortly. Every detail mattered, and he was determined not to overlook a single one. The pressure was huge, but Tom was accustomed to being on top. He had never tasted defeat, and he wasn’t about to start now.
The other children rarely approached him, and when they did, it felt forced. Tom preferred to keep to himself, confident in his ability to win yet again. He assembled(组装)his launch platform with great care, sorting through engines, igniters(点火器), and other tools in his toolbox. Suddenly, his igniter wire slipped from his grasp and disappeared into the grass. In a panic, he found another and carefully fitted it into place.
Tom checked his rocket again. It was perfect, but when he glanced at the others’ rockets, he found lots of problems immediately. One rocket, however, had the look of a winner. And Tom’s heart sank. A thin boy carried it carefully.
“Hi,” a voice interrupted his focus. It was the thin boy, Ed, offering a nervous smile, “Nice rocket.” Tom whispered thanks, eyes on his tools. He asked Ed where he tested his rockets because he had never seen him at the competitions before. Ed said he just practiced alone behind his house. Although Tom felt a bit nervous, he pretended not to care much about the contest. “Good luck,” said Tom, and he continued to concentrate on his own rocket.
As Ed lifted his rocket, Tom felt an increasing anxiety. Just then, he noticed a fin(尾翼)on Ed’s rocket had loosened. But Ed hadn’t noticed it. Tom felt a bit sorry but decided not to say anything.
As Ed’s turn approached, Tom’s heart jumped. He had to speak up, despite the risk of losing. “Ed, hold up!” he shouted, drawing the attention of the crowd.
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。
Ed stopped, turned around and looked at Tom confusedly.

Tom felt the pain of defeat but also a sense of pride.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】作答示例
Ed stopped, turned around and looked at Tom confusedly. Tom pointed to the loose fin. Ed fixed it just in time, and his rocket shot into the sky perfectly. The crowd cheered, and Tom felt a mix of regret and relief. He had solved a problem, but at the cost of his own victory. As his name was called, he had to walk into the field, win or lose. The numbers were announced, and Tom’s rocket had reached an impressive height, but it wasn’t enough to beat Ed. Then he noticed Ed coming over to him.
Tom felt the pain of defeat but also a sense of pride. He had helped Ed, and that counted for something. As he packed up his tools, a hand fell on his shoulder. It was Ed, thanking him. Tom couldn’t help but feel a connection, a shared bond over their common love of rockets. The other children approached, their attitudes softened by the day’s events. They invited Tom to join them at Ed’s house, and he nodded, feeling a shift within him. For the first time, he saw the value in sharing his passion and skills with others.
