These four groundbreaking science fiction works transport readers to extraordinary worlds while exploring the questions about humanity, identity, and survival.
Dengue Boy by Michel Nieva
In 2272, New York and Buenos Aires have been underwater for years, and the Patagonian archipelagos are Earth’s only livable lands. Our leading role is a strange mosquito (蚊子) whose scary appearance drives everyone away. As the world breaks down around him, Dengue Boy, as the mosquito is named, searches for the truth about his origins and the meaning of his life. It is translated from Spanish by Rahul Bery.
Future’s Edge by Gareth L. Powell
The great science fiction novel follows the story of archaeologist (考古学家) Ursula Morrow, who is suffering from a space disease. As Earth is later destroyed, she worries about becoming outdated and no one really needs archaeologists anymore. Two years on, she finds herself in a shelter on a dead water world. She tries to study the space disease that harmed her, believing that it might help humans to survive.
Always on My Mind by Carys Green
Elijah talks Anna into going to OneMind to celebrate their 10th anniversary; this high-tech company will give them implants (植入物) that will enable them to hear each other’s thoughts. But Anna may have something to hide from her husband. What starts as a surprise gift could end up bringing hidden truths to light.
Swindon Mountain by Harriet Hitchen
This is a mixture of archaeology and science fiction, in which a mountain unexpectedly arrives in the Marlborough Downs near the city of Swindon. Clare Holworth takes part in an archaeological study into its origins, in an attempt to manage the site before public pressure to get to the top of the mountain grows out of control.
1. What is Dengue Boy mainly about?
A. A mosquito’s sufferings. B. The wide spread of a disease.
C. The rapid development of science. D. An insect’s journey of self-discovery.
2. What do Future’s Edge and Swindon Mountain have in common?
A. They explore environmental protection.
B. They have something to do with archaeology.
C. They describe the process of saving humans.
D. They stand out by featuring non-human main characters.
3. Whose book describes the application of high technology?
A. Michel Nieva’s. B. Gareth L. Powell’s.
C. Carys Green’s. D. Harriet Hitchen’s.
B
A British driver, Billy Monger, was just 17 when he had an accident in a Formula 4 race, losing his legs as a result of the serious injuries. In a second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But Monger, who is now 25, refused to be defeated.
In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world. The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions.
It’s perhaps obvious, when you consider the distances, that this event is not something you can simply walk into unprepared. For Monger, this was the result of a full year of training that taught him to deal with the difficult situation. With the help of expert trainers that become almost part of his close family, Monger trained nearly every day to get his body and mind in the best possible condition.
Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again.
After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.
4. What’s Monger’s purpose in joining in the IRONMAN World Championship?
A. To collect contributions for a good cause. B. To prove his ability to drive race cars.
C. To prepare for the Paralympics. D. To test his new prosthetic legs.
5. Why was Monger’s training especially difficult?
A. His preparations fell short.
B. He had to train alone without any support.
C. He had never done endurance sports before.
D. His prosthetic legs made running and cycling harder.
6. What can be expected of Monger in the future?
A. He may leave the sports field completely.
B. He will follow the footsteps of his role models.
C. He will hold on to his dreams while helping others.
D. He hopes to coach those sharing the same experience.
7. Which words can best describe Monger?
A. Tough-minded and inspiring. B. Kind-hearted and creative.
C. Lucky and generous. D. Independent and skilled.
C
Brown bears have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. In their 20s, my parents spent their summers running one of Alaska’s first brown bear viewing camps in the Katmai National Park. Brown bears were respected in our household, and we regarded them as individuals with their own personalities. My parents’ five years as bear guides, in the mid-1980s, took place during a key change in Alaska, where brown bear tourism had previously been hunting.
Biologists were learning to read brown bears’ behavior, challenging longtime ideas that bears were unpredictable (不可预测的). They discovered that if humans behaved equally predictably — by limiting visitors to small guided groups, respecting the bears’ behavior and space, and never feeding the animals human food — the bears could accept the human presence over time. The bear guides learned the lesson the hard way when a door once blew open to a summer house where some fruit had been left on a table. After a bear got in, it ate up everything and sat on the floor for days, wanting more.
The memories that stand out most were the bears’ unbelievable weakness and trust in humans: a female bear chose to nurse its babies in front of my camera; a bear got close to my father and me so it could take a rest beside us in the shade. What I didn’t realize as a child was that such moments could take place only because of how the land was protected and managed.
One of the greatest dangers to brown bears is losing their homes in nature. Around the world, brown bears now live in just 2% of the places they used to live. Almost all of America’s remaining brown bears make their home in Alaska. Katmai’s huge, untouched wilderness is very special — one bear might travel over 50 miles every summer just to find food for winter. It’s hard to understand why protecting this land is so important — until you see a mother bear with her baby with your own eyes.
8. What was the main change in Alaska’s brown bear tourism during the 1980s?
A. More people started hunting bears.
B. People preferred guided tours to visiting on their own.
C. Bear viewing took the place of hunting as the main activity.
D. The government prevented humans from getting close to brown bears.
9. How can visitors help make bears’ behavior predictable?
A. By directing their own behavior.
B. By teaching the bear guides some lessons.
C. By challenging the bears’ unpredictability.
D. By learning to read brown bears’ behavior.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards brown bears’ present situation?
A. Satisfied. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Brown bear tourism history in Alaska.
B. Biologists’ efforts to study bear behavior.
C. Human-bear relationship and brown bear protection.
D. Bear viewing camps in Katmai Park and their popularity.
D
A new study suggests an asteroid strike (小行星撞击) on the moon billions of years ago left two huge valleys (山谷) about the size of Earth’s Grand Valley. Researchers from the United States and Britain said their research shows the two deep valleys formed apace—the whole process finished within less than 10 minutes. They noted the crash (碰撞) happened near the south pole (极) on the far side of the moon. That is the side of the moon which always faces away from Earth.
The speed of the incoming object was thought to be around 55,000 kilometers per hour. The crash likely took place about 3.8 billion years ago.
The group’s research suggested the asteroid passed over the south pole before hitting. It then created a huge plain area and sent rocky materials at speeds of up to 1 kilometer per second. The researchers said material was sent flying and struck the moon’s surface like missiles (导弹) resulting in the creation of the valleys. The valleys appear comparable in size to the Grand Valley, in the U. S. state of Arizona.
It is thought that the asteroid was 25 kilometers across. The researchers guessed that the energy needed to create the two valleys would have been more than 130 times greater than the power of all the world’s current nuclear weapons (核武器)。
As broken pieces from the crash were thrown out from the moon’s south pole, ancient rocks in the polar area would be at or close to the surface. This makes it easier for astronauts to collect them. The researchers said those rocks can help scientists get a better understanding of the moon’s history.
The researchers noted it is not yet clear whether the two huge valleys are always shadowed like some of the valleys at the moon’s south pole. That is something that researchers are clearly going to reexamine.
12. What does the underlined word “space” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Strangely. B. Perfectly. C. Recently. D. Quickly.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The size of the asteroid that hit the moon.
B. The process of how the valleys on the moon were formed.
C. The speed of the incoming object that crashed on the moon.
D. The comparison between the moon’s valleys and other valleys.
14. Why are nuclear weapons mentioned?
A. To explain how they work.
B. To show how dangerous asteroid strikes can be.
C. To warn that they should be managed properly.
D. To suggest that asteroids could be used as weapons in space.
15. What role do the ancient rocks in the polar area of the moon play?
A. They prove there are huge valleys on the moon.
B. They tell the location of the asteroid strike on the moon.
C. They stress the influence of the asteroid strike on the moon.
D. They enable researchers to learn more about the moon.
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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some days it seems nearly impossible to find even half an hour for a workout. ___16___ This means that if you manage to get three 10-minute exercise periods, you greatly reduce the possibility of developing serious health problems later in life. So it’s truly worth scheduling these short movement breaks into your day.
One simple way to exercise is by walking every day. You can walk your dog. If you usually just let your dog out a few times a day, turn one of those outings into a proper walk with it. Gradually, you’ll notice that your 10-minute walk might become a 20-or 30-minute one on some days. ___17___
For those who are used to running, it’s quite convenient to break into a jog whenever and wherever you are, as long as you have comfortable shoes on. ___18___ So after this quick exercise, you can smoothly return to work or go on with whatever activity you were busy with before.
___19___ Choose three songs that always get you active. Since most songs last between 3 — 4minutes, three of them provide the perfect time for a short workout. Just move to the rhythm (韵律) of these songs in any way that feels right to you. This can even be done in the comfort of your own home.
Doing housework can also be a form of exercise. Ten minutes spent sweeping leaves or cutting unwanted branches in your yard are part of your daily chores. If you complete these tasks every day for a week, you will get some exercise. ___20___ These activities all count as 10 minutes of movement, contributing to your overall daily exercise goals.
A. Joining a group is necessary.
B. The first thing to prepare is a pair of sports shoes.
C. Another enjoyable way to exercise is through music.
D. However, the benefits of exercise are widely recognized.
E. Besides, you’ll also save some money on keeping your yard orderly.
F. If you don’t have such an animal friend, force yourself to take a daily walk at a specific time.
G. Jogging for 10 minutes won’t make you overly sweaty or mess your hair due to the short time.

I’m a mother of two boys with special needs. Recently I took my two sons for their yearly physical examination. Neither of them ___21___ such visits as they are always afraid of needles (针). ___22___, things went well this time. Both of them had lost ___23___ since we cut back on the junk food in our diets. ___24___, I felt a sense of envy (羡慕) when I saw how physically healthy my younger son was.
What ___25___ me most about this visit, though, was seeing my elder son’s performance. Though ___26___, he chatted shyly with the nurse. And after everything was done, he ___27___ her a key chain he had made as a reward. Just as we were to ___28___, he gave her a hug (拥抱) which she ___29___ with mixed feelings of surprise and joy. And on our walk back outside, a sudden ____30____ came over me.
As parents, we often ____31____ what our children can’t do or don’t have. We compare them to others and feel sad. But watching my elder son that day, I saw how much he has to ____32____. His simple presents — a smile, a small present, a hug — can really ____33____ someone’s day.
My son may struggle with some things, but he teaches me something important: We all have things we wish were different, but real happiness comes from seeing the good we already have, and ____34____ sharing it with others. Remember, we should always feel ____35____ for what we do have from the bottom of our heart.

In Chinese culture, the snake holds a special place far beyond being just another wild animal. Since thousands of years ago, it ___36___ (honor) as a symbol of deep wisdom and intelligence. The snake’s amazing capability ___37___ (get) rid of its skin has made it a perfect representative of important life changes, personal ___38___ (grow), and new beginnings — ideas that lie at the heart of traditional Chinese thinking. Much like how the snake ___39___ (repeated) renews itself, Chinese traditions teach us the value of long-term self-betterment and adapting ___40___ new situations. This powerful symbol (象征) also ties the snake to concepts of starting over and inner strength, ___41___ (remind) us that even during tough times, positive transformation remains within reach.
The snake’s role in China’s mythologies (神话) is so important that it cannot be forgotten. The characters, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Pangu ___42___ (include), are commonly described as having snake bodies. These aren’t simply the creators of the world; they also stand for the peaceful balance between humans ___43___ the natural environment.
But the snake in Chinese culture is not just a kind character. It also stands for duality (双重性) — wisdom and danger, good and evil. A large number of Chinese ___44___ (story) show its dual nature — the snake can be both a rescuer and a killer, a helper and a cheater, among _____45_____ the most famous one is the story of The White Snake.

47. 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。
On a cool day recently, police officer Wright went on his regular patrol (巡逻) through a peaceful countryside, wooded area. The sun shone through the leaves, casting broken shadows on the narrow road. As he drove along, his eyes looking quickly around the surroundings, he suddenly discovered a dog sitting alone in the middle of the road. It was an old-looking dog, with a dirty coat and a tired expression.
The area was hardly populated, with no houses in sight. Concerned for the dog’s safety, Wright pulled over. He thought it would be best to take the dog with him and try to find its owner. Getting close to the dog gently, he spoke in a soft voice, “Come on, baby. Let’s get you out of here and find your home.” He opened the car door, hoping the dog would climb in. But to his astonishment, the dog refused to move. It just sat there, looking at him with an intense gaze (凝视), as if trying to say something important. Wright didn’t understand it. A dog in the middle of an empty road, refusing help — it was a strange situation.
Since he had pressing duties to attend to — protecting the people and property of the area, Wright couldn’t spend too much time on this one matter. He decided to leave the dog for the time being and continue his patrol. But as he drove away, he couldn’t shake the image of the dog from his mind. He kept thinking about what could have happened to make the dog act so strangely.
After checking several nearby houses and finding nothing uncommon, Wright’s curiosity got the better of him. He returned to the exact place where he had first seen the dog. To his great surprise, the dog, which he later learned was named Gita, was still sitting right in the middle of the road. This time, when he tried to touch it, Gita jumped up and started running onto an unmarked, little-used road.
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。
Sensing that there was something wrong, Wright decided to follow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, Wright found the truth — an old man lying on the ground near the summer house.

A British driver, Billy Monger, was just 17 when he had an accident in a Formula 4 race, losing his legs as a result of the serious injuries. In a second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But Monger, who is now 25, refused to be defeated.
In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world. The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions.
It’s perhaps obvious, when you consider the distances, that this event is not something you can simply walk into unprepared. For Monger, this was the result of a full year of training that taught him to deal with the difficult situation. With the help of expert trainers that become almost part of his close family, Monger trained nearly every day to get his body and mind in the best possible condition.
Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again.
After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.
4. What’s Monger’s purpose in joining in the IRONMAN World Championship?
A. To collect contributions for a good cause. B. To prove his ability to drive race cars.
C. To prepare for the Paralympics. D. To test his new prosthetic legs.
5. Why was Monger’s training especially difficult?
A. His preparations fell short.
B. He had to train alone without any support.
C. He had never done endurance sports before.
D. His prosthetic legs made running and cycling harder.
6. What can be expected of Monger in the future?
A. He may leave the sports field completely.
B. He will follow the footsteps of his role models.
C. He will hold on to his dreams while helping others.
D. He hopes to coach those sharing the same experience.
7. Which words can best describe Monger?
A. Tough-minded and inspiring. B. Kind-hearted and creative.
C. Lucky and generous. D. Independent and skilled.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国赛车手Billy Monger在17岁时因赛车事故失去双腿,但他并未被打倒。25岁时,他打破了最快完成IRONMAN世界锦标赛的截肢者世界纪录,旨在为一个非营利组织筹集资金,以对抗全球饥饿和改善生活条件。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions.(这位运动员同时也是一名赛车专家,他接受这一挑战的目标是为一家旨在抗击全球饥饿和改善生活条件的非营利组织筹集资金。)”可知,Monger参加比赛的目的是为非营利组织筹集资金,故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again.(作为一名双截肢者,Monger面临的准备工作比大多数人更具挑战性。例如,跑步时会对他受伤的腿部造成巨大的压力,因此他的假肢必须完美贴合,否则疼痛和酸痛可能会让他放弃。接下来是自行车项目,Monger决定骑普通自行车而不是手摇自行车。这意味着这位曾经的赛车手不得不重新学习基础知识。)”可知,Monger的训练难是因为他的假肢让他跑步和骑自行车很困难,故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.(在打破纪录后,Monger表示,他已经将目光坚定地投向了2028年洛杉矶残奥会,他希望届时能代表英国参加残奥铁人三项比赛。无论他接下来做什么,成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知,Monger将继续追求自己的梦想,同时帮助他人,故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world.( 去年10月,Monger在世界锦标赛上打破了最快完成IRONMAN比赛的截肢者世界纪录,而这项赛事被认为是世界上最具挑战性的耐力项目之一。)”可知,Monger在失去双腿后依然坚持训练并打破世界纪录,因此他是意志力坚强的;且根据文章最后一段“Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.(无论他接下来做什么,成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知,他想要成为榜样并为他人提供支持,因此他的行为是激励他人的。故选A。

Brown bears have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. In their 20s, my parents spent their summers running one of Alaska’s first brown bear viewing camps in the Katmai National Park. Brown bears were respected in our household, and we regarded them as individuals with their own personalities. My parents’ five years as bear guides, in the mid-1980s, took place during a key change in Alaska, where brown bear tourism had previously been hunting.
Biologists were learning to read brown bears’ behavior, challenging longtime ideas that bears were unpredictable (不可预测的). They discovered that if humans behaved equally predictably — by limiting visitors to small guided groups, respecting the bears’ behavior and space, and never feeding the animals human food — the bears could accept the human presence over time. The bear guides learned the lesson the hard way when a door once blew open to a summer house where some fruit had been left on a table. After a bear got in, it ate up everything and sat on the floor for days, wanting more.
The memories that stand out most were the bears’ unbelievable weakness and trust in humans: a female bear chose to nurse its babies in front of my camera; a bear got close to my father and me so it could take a rest beside us in the shade. What I didn’t realize as a child was that such moments could take place only because of how the land was protected and managed.
One of the greatest dangers to brown bears is losing their homes in nature. Around the world, brown bears now live in just 2% of the places they used to live. Almost all of America’s remaining brown bears make their home in Alaska. Katmai’s huge, untouched wilderness is very special — one bear might travel over 50 miles every summer just to find food for winter. It’s hard to understand why protecting this land is so important — until you see a mother bear with her baby with your own eyes.
8. What was the main change in Alaska’s brown bear tourism during the 1980s?
A. More people started hunting bears.
B. People preferred guided tours to visiting on their own.
C. Bear viewing took the place of hunting as the main activity.
D. The government prevented humans from getting close to brown bears.
9. How can visitors help make bears’ behavior predictable?
A. By directing their own behavior.
B. By teaching the bear guides some lessons.
C. By challenging the bears’ unpredictability.
D. By learning to read brown bears’ behavior.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards brown bears’ present situation?
A. Satisfied. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Brown bear tourism history in Alaska.
B. Biologists’ efforts to study bear behavior.
C. Human-bear relationship and brown bear protection.
D. Bear viewing camps in Katmai Park and their popularity.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与棕熊的亲密关系,以及阿拉斯加棕熊旅游从狩猎到观赏的转变,强调了人类与棕熊和谐共处的重要性以及保护棕熊栖息地的紧迫性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“My parents’ five years as bear guides, in the mid-1980s, took place during a key change in Alaska, where brown bear tourism had previously been hunting.(在20世纪80年代中期,我父母做了五年的熊导游,这发生在阿拉斯加的一个关键变化时期,在这之前棕熊旅游业主要是狩猎活动)”可知,20世纪80年代阿拉斯加棕熊旅游业发生了重要转变,由之前的狩猎转变为以观赏为主。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They discovered that if humans behaved equally predictably — by limiting visitors to small guided groups, respecting the bears’ behavior and space, and never feeding the animals human food — the bears could accept the human presence over time.(他们发现,如果人类的行为同样可预测——通过将游客限制在有导游带领的小团体中,尊重熊的行为和空间,并且从不给动物喂食人类的食物——随着时间的推移,熊可以接受人类的存在)”可知,游客可以通过规范自身行为来让棕熊的行为变得可预测。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“One of the greatest dangers to brown bears is losing their homes in nature. Around the world, brown bears now live in just 2% of the places they used to live.(棕熊面临的最大危险之一是失去它们在自然界中的家园。在世界范围内,棕熊现在的栖息地仅为它们曾经栖息地的 2%)”可推知,作者指出棕熊面临着栖息地大量减少的危险,表现出对棕熊现状的担忧。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章先介绍了阿拉斯加棕熊旅游业从狩猎到观赏的转变,接着讲述了人类与棕熊之间的关系,如人类通过规范行为让棕熊接受人类存在,棕熊对人类表现出的信任,还提到了棕熊面临栖息地减少的危险以及保护棕熊栖息地的重要性。由此可知,文章主要论述人熊关系和棕熊保护。故选C。
D
A new study suggests an asteroid strike (小行星撞击) on the moon billions of years ago left two huge valleys (山谷) about the size of Earth’s Grand Valley. Researchers from the United States and Britain said their research shows the two deep valleys formed apace—the whole process finished within less than 10 minutes. They noted the crash (碰撞) happened near the south pole (极) on the far side of the moon. That is the side of the moon which always faces away from Earth.
The speed of the incoming object was thought to be around 55,000 kilometers per hour. The crash likely took place about 3.8 billion years ago.
The group’s research suggested the asteroid passed over the south pole before hitting. It then created a huge plain area and sent rocky materials at speeds of up to 1 kilometer per second. The researchers said material was sent flying and struck the moon’s surface like missiles (导弹), resulting in the creation of the valleys. The valleys appear comparable in size to the Grand Valley, in the U. S. state of Arizona.
It is thought that the asteroid was 25 kilometers across. The researchers guessed that the energy needed to create the two valleys would have been more than 130 times greater than the power of all the world’s current nuclear weapons (核武器)。
As broken pieces from the crash were thrown out from the moon’s south pole, ancient rocks in the polar area would be at or close to the surface. This makes it easier for astronauts to collect them. The researchers said those rocks can help scientists get a better understanding of the moon’s history.
The researchers noted it is not yet clear whether the two huge valleys are always shadowed like some of the valleys at the moon’s south pole. That is something that researchers are clearly going to reexamine.
12. What does the underlined word “space” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Strangely. B. Perfectly. C. Recently. D. Quickly.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The size of the asteroid that hit the moon.
B. The process of how the valleys on the moon were formed.
C. The speed of the incoming object that crashed on the moon.
D. The comparison between the moon’s valleys and other valleys.
14. Why are nuclear weapons mentioned?
A. To explain how they work.
B. To show how dangerous asteroid strikes can be.
C. To warn that they should be managed properly.
D. To suggest that asteroids could be used as weapons in space.
15. What role do the ancient rocks in the polar area of the moon play?
A. They prove there are huge valleys on the moon.
B. They tell the location of the asteroid strike on the moon.
C. They stress the influence of the asteroid strike on the moon.
D. They enable researchers to learn more about the moon.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明,约38亿年前小行星撞击月球南极附近,快速形成两个巨型山谷,其研究意义重大 。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Researchers from the United States and Britain said their research shows the two deep valleys formed apace—the whole process finished within less than 10 minutes.(来自美国和英国的研究人员表示,他们的研究表明这两个深谷形成得apace—— 整个过程在不到 10 分钟内就完成了)”中由“不到10分钟就完成了”可推测apace意思是“快速地”。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The group’s research suggested the asteroid passed over the south pole before hitting. It then created a huge plain area and sent rocky materials at speeds of up to 1 kilometer per second. The researchers said material was sent flying and struck the moon’s surface like missiles (导弹),resulting in the creation of the valleys.(该小组的研究表明,小行星在撞击之前经过了月球南极。然后它形成了一个巨大的平原区域,并以高达每秒1公里的速度喷射出岩石物质。研究人员说,这些物质像导弹一样被抛向空中并撞击月球表面,从而形成了这些山谷)”可知,该段主要讲述了月球上的山谷是如何形成的过程。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers guessed that the energy needed to create the two valleys would have been more than 130 times greater than the power of all the world’s current nuclear weapons (核武器)。(研究人员猜测,形成这两个山谷所需的能量将比世界上目前所有核武器的威力大 130 多倍)”可知,通过将形成山谷所需的能量与核武器威力作比较,说明小行星撞击的威力巨大,也就是展示了小行星撞击可能是多么危险。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“As broken pieces from the crash were thrown out from the moon’s south pole, ancient rocks in the polar area would be at or close to the surface. This makes it easier for astronauts to collect them. The researchers said those rocks can help scientists get a better understanding of the moon’s history.(当撞击的碎片从月球南极抛出时,极地地区的古老岩石会在地表或接近地表。这使得宇航员更容易收集它们。研究人员说,这些岩石可以帮助科学家更好地了解月球的历史)”可知,月球极地地区的古老岩石能让研究人员更多地了解月球。故选D。

Some days it seems nearly impossible to find even half an hour for a workout. ___16___ This means that if you manage to get three 10-minute exercise periods, you greatly reduce the possibility of developing serious health problems later in life. So it’s truly worth scheduling these short movement breaks into your day.
One simple way to exercise is by walking every day. You can walk your dog. If you usually just let your dog out a few times a day, turn one of those outings into a proper walk with it. Gradually, you’ll notice that your 10-minute walk might become a 20-or 30-minute one on some days. ___17___
For those who are used to running, it’s quite convenient to break into a jog whenever and wherever you are, as long as you have comfortable shoes on. ___18___ So after this quick exercise, you can smoothly return to work or go on with whatever activity you were busy with before.
___19___ Choose three songs that always get you active. Since most songs last between 3 — 4minutes, three of them provide the perfect time for a short workout. Just move to the rhythm (韵律) of these songs in any way that feels right to you. This can even be done in the comfort of your own home.
Doing housework can also be a form of exercise. Ten minutes spent sweeping leaves or cutting unwanted branches in your yard are part of your daily chores. If you complete these tasks every day for a week, you will get some exercise. ___20___ These activities all count as 10 minutes of movement, contributing to your overall daily exercise goals.
A. Joining a group is necessary.
B. The first thing to prepare is a pair of sports shoes.
C Another enjoyable way to exercise is through music.
D. However, the benefits of exercise are widely recognized.
E. Besides, you’ll also save some money on keeping your yard orderly.
F. If you don’t have such an animal friend, force yourself to take a daily walk at a specific time.
G. Jogging for 10 minutes won’t make you overly sweaty or mess your hair due to the short time.

【答案】
Recently, more and more high schools have adopted a two-day weekend policy. From my perspective, this is a positive move. It gives us students much-needed rest, allowing us to recharge and better engage in study during the week.
However, to make the most of these weekends, I suggest we plan ahead. We can set aside some time for self-study and review, and also schedule activities we enjoy, like reading or doing physical exercise. This way, we can balance relaxation and learning.
All in all, the new policy offers great potential for us to grow both academically and personally.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
On a cool day recently, police officer Wright went on his regular patrol (巡逻) through a peaceful countryside, wooded area. The sun shone through the leaves, casting broken shadows on the narrow road. As he drove along, his eyes looking quickly around the surroundings, he suddenly discovered a dog sitting alone in the middle of the road. It was an old-looking dog, with a dirty coat and a tired expression.
The area was hardly populated, with no houses in sight. Concerned for the dog’s safety, Wright pulled over. He thought it would be best to take the dog with him and try to find its owner. Getting close to the dog gently, he spoke in a soft voice, “Come on, baby. Let’s get you out of here and find your home.” He opened the car door, hoping the dog would climb in. But to his astonishment, the dog refused to move. It just sat there, looking at him with an intense gaze (凝视), as if trying to say something important. Wright didn’t understand it. A dog in the middle of an empty road, refusing help — it was a strange situation.
Since he had pressing duties to attend to — protecting the people and property of the area, Wright couldn’t spend too much time on this one matter. He decided to leave the dog for the time being and continue his patrol. But as he drove away, he couldn’t shake the image of the dog from his mind. He kept thinking about what could have happened to make the dog act so strangely.
After checking several nearby houses and finding nothing uncommon, Wright’s curiosity got the better of him. He returned to the exact place where he had first seen the dog. To his great surprise, the dog, which he later learned was named Gita, was still sitting right in the middle of the road. This time, when he tried to touch it, Gita jumped up and started running onto an unmarked, little-used road.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Sensing that there was something wrong, Wright decided to follow.

Finally, Wright found the truth — an old man lying on the ground near the summer house.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Sensing that there was something wrong, Wright decided to follow. Gita moved surprisingly fast for its age, leading the officer down the overgrown path. Wright had to push through bushes and step carefully over tree roots to keep up. As they went deeper into the woods, Gita occasionally looked back to make sure Wright was still following. The officer noticed the dog’s breathing was heavy, but it never slowed down. When they reached a small stream, Gita rushed straight through the shallow water without hesitation. Wright, now completely convinced this wasn’t just a random walk, followed closely behind, until they came to a summer house.
Finally, Wright found the truth — an old man lying on the ground near the summer house. The man, pale and weak, could barely lift his hand to wave for help. Wright immediately called for an ambulance while checking the man’s condition. Gita rushed to its owner’s side, licking his face anxiously. The man whispered that he had fallen hours before while collecting firewood and couldn’t get up. Without Gita’s persistence in seeking help, the situation could have turned tragic. This heartwarming rescue shows how deep the bond between humans and animals can be. In our busy lives, we often overlook these loyal companions, but they never stop watching over us, proving that sometimes the purest form of love comes on four legs.
