I can't hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18.Our brains weren't fully developed,and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents.We got close to friends,but then again pushed them back.Yes, there were secrets and lies,but that's part of growing up. However.I think you should apologize for how you started our career.You had always dreamed of being a reporter,but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field.Over time,you felt you didn't learn much,even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible.It wasn't until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life. We bought a lovely home in the city centre.But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids'activities.And when the kids went to college,we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents.It felt like a new stage of youth,where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids.We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work,trying to stay connected while finding our own space. Now,as we approach senior years,life feels peaceful.We've had ups and downs,from losing our mom to watching our kids grow.So,younger me,let's pardon ourselves for past mistakes.We can't move forward until we make peace with our past.Hopefully,our best days are still ahead.

They've discovered that planting trees in the Arctic could actually speed up global warming rather than help fight against it.The study comes at a critical time,as various regions.including Alaska.Greenland.and Iceland,have begun carrying out or considering large-scale tree-planting projects in their northern territories.The problem lies in a phenomenon known as the albedo effect-the ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight back into space.The snow-covered ground in the Arctic reflects about 75%of incoming sunlight,while dark evergreen trees reflect only about 10%.This difference means that replacing open plains in Arctic regions with forests actually traps more heat in the Earth's system,despite the trees'ability to capture (carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However,the issues don't stop there.When trees are planted in Arctic regions.they disturb the soil,which in these areas serves as one of Earth's largest carbon banks.The Arctic's permanently frozen soils contain more carbon than all the world's plant life combined does.When this soil is disturbed by tree planting and root growth,it gives off stored carbon into the atmosphere.further contributing to global warming. "Soils in the Arctic store more carbon than all vegetation on Earth."explains lead author Jeppe Kristensen,an assistant professor from Aarhus University."These soils are extremely sensitive to disturbances.For example,they are affected when people plant trees or conduct agricultural activities there,or when tree roots grow into the soil." The research team also found that trees in these regions face significant survival challenges.As climate change intensifies,these areas are experiencing more frequent wildfires,droughts,and pest outbreaks.When trees are overcome'by these disturbances,any carbon they've stored is released back into the atmosphere.This nullifies the possible advantages they could offer as a means of capturing carbon,making the intended benefits of using trees for carbon capture ineffective. 28.What would happen if more trees were planted in the Arctic? A.They'd do more harm than good. B.They'd lower the temperature there. C.They'd bring more snow to the area. D.They'd capture more carbon than elsewhere. 高二英语试题第5页（共10页） 29.What kind of disturbance can easily cause the Arctic soil to release carbon? A.The temperature changes. B.The freezing of ice and snow. C.The frequent wildfires. D.The tree planting activities. 30.What does the underlined word"nullifies"in the last paragraph mean? A.Cancels out. B.Results in. C.Stores up. D.Searches for. 31.What's the best title for the text? A.Arctic Forest Benefits B.Arctic Climate Change C.Arctic Soil Disturbance D.Arctic Tree Planting Risks D Precision agriculture is one of the most significant trends in modern farming.One particularly promising application involves the use of real-time imaging to visualize how tiny drops of liquid are forming on plant surfaces.Unlike traditional agriculture where farmers often rely on general estimates and use of pesticides (across the entire field,this technology helps farmers maximize productivity while minimizing inputs. This development originated from the work of Vishnu Jayaprakash,who had some family exposure to the process of spraying()crops and recognized that the main challenge in that process is how to make water-based sprays interact effectively with surfaces of plants. Several factors influence this process,including the pressure,flow and nozzle (design of the application device,and the temperature,sunlight intensity,wind and other conditions at the time of spraying. To effectively address this issue,Jayaprakash developed a two-camera system that can be connected to spraying equipment.It can use imaging of the sprayed liquid on the target plants to determine necessary adjustments for the best degree of coverage with appropriately sized tiny drops.The system can be used to make on-the-go adjustments in order to get the spray coverage "just right".This allows farmers to use only 20-30%of the product per acre while maintaining key functions like pest control,fertilization,and growth regulation. The advancement in precision agriculture is helping farmers reduce costs while maintaining crop protection.Susan Scheufele,an extension researcher at the University of Massachusetts,has conducted field trials with this technology on vegetable crops.In trials for cotton leaf removal,it has shown positive results even when used at 50%of the minimum recommended amount on the product label. The primary benefit of precision agriculture methods lies beyond cost savings.Despite the fact that this technology still has a long way to go,its adoption ensures that chemical remains in crops are well below harmful levels,safeguarding ecosystems and food safety. 32.What can be inferred about the application mentioned in Paragraph 1? A.It visualizes the field more clearly.B.It uses pesticides more accurately. C.It continuously monitors plant health.D.It estimates the need of the entire field. 高二英语试题第6页（共10页） 33.How does Jayaprakash's two-camera system work? A.By guiding spraying equipment to target plant surfaces. B.By calculating the precise amount of pesticide required. C.By making real-time adjustments to enhance spray coverage. D.By using imaging to closely monitor plant growth. 34.Why does the author mention Susan Scheufele's field trials? A.To analyze the responses of different crops. B.To compare the application rates across crops. C.To illustrate the effectiveness of the technology. D.To highlight the limitations of traditional farming. 35.What is the author's attitude toward precision agriculture? A.Intolerant.B.Doubtful. C.Unclear. D.Approving. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Walk through any park or glance in a cafe window,and you'll see many people staring at screens.Some might be studying,while others seem hard at work.36 They will either check updates about celebrities or edit photos,post them to gain followers and count views and comments.
