B Late one night in July 2020 in Reykjavik,Haraldur Thorleifsson was wandering around the city's main shopping street with his family.Shortly after moving back to Iceland from the United States,they were jet-lagged and couldn't sleep.During their walk,his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, but Thorleifsson couldn't enter due to a 20-centimeter step blocking his access to the store. Born with muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症),Thorleifsson has used a wheelchair since age 25.As he waited outside the shop for his wife and children,he recalled,"I thought about how strange it is that we separate families in this way.I thought about all the times I wasn't able to join my friends at restaurants and stores that are inaccessible.”Having lived worldwide as a designer,he had witnessed first-hand how different cities consider and plan for accessibility,from ramps( 斜 坡 ) and sidewalks to public transportation. In 2021,he launched Ramp Up Reykjavik,a non-profit aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city within a year.Unlike mobile and temporary solutions in other cities,these ramps are permanent structures that match the artistic style of the buildings,making them appear as if they've always been there. With government funding and sponsors,the project expanded nationwide,targeting 1,500 ramps by 2026. Iceland's president praised Thorleifsson's work,calling him a role model for inclusivity.Named Iceland's Person of the Year in 2022,Thorleifsson also runs a cafe,cinema,and a co-working space. Thorleifsson is proud that Ramp Up has motivated others to act.He recently met a woman who was inspired to build a ramp at her home,allowing her friend of 30 years who uses a wheel chair to easily visit. “Equal access isn't a reality yet,”Thorleifsson says,"but change starts with one person." 24.What inspired Thorleifsson to start the Ramp Up Reykjavik project? A.His son's difficulty in finding a drink. B.His ambition to gain national recognition. C.His personal experience with inaccessible spaces. D.His dissatisfaction with the city's transport system. 25.How are the ramps built by Ramp Up Reykjavik different from those in other cities? A.They are temporary and mobile. B.They are funded by foreign organizations. C.They are primarily for public transportation. D.They are consistent with the buildings' design. 26.Which of the following best describes the impact of the program? A.Far-reaching. B.Profit-making. C.Short-lived. D.Area-limited. 27.What message does Thorleifsson want to convey through his work? A.Technological solutions are the ultimate answer. B.Certain restrictions in public areas are unavoidable. C.Governments should take charge of public projects. D.Individuals should take the initiative to create change. C Extreme heat seems to quicken biological ageing in older people,suggesting that it could raise the risk of age-related diseases."This is one of the first large-scale studies to link long-term heat exposure to biological ageing in humans,"says Eun Young Choi at the University of Southern California.“Older adults living in areas with more extreme heat days aged biologically faster than those in cooler regions." Choi and her colleagues analyzed genetic data from blood samples of 3,600 Americans aged 56 and older.They estimated each participant's biological age using three so-called epigenetic(表观遗传的) clocks, which involves looking at patterns of chemical tags(标签)on DNA.These patterns change as we get older and such changes have been linked to age-related diseases.The researchers also examined daily air temperature readings taken within a few kilometres of where participants lived for the six years before blood samples were taken.They found that,for roughly every 200 days with temperatures reaching at least 32.2℃ (90°F)over six years,biological age increased by up to 3.5 months on average.Similar findings were reported in earlier studies from Taiwan and Germany,adding to the growing evidence of this global association." However,experts like Austin Argentieri at Harvard warn that epigenetic clocks alone cannot fully predict the ageing process or people's risk of diseases.While the results are convincing,some scientists argue that genes may play a larger role than environmental factors in ageing."Individual resilience varies widely," said Argentieri.“We need more research to connect heat exposure,biological ageing,and actual health outcomes.”The study also did not account for factors like air conditioning use or time spent outdoors,which could significantly change personal heat exposure. The finding holds critical significance,especially as climate change increases heatwaves.Urban planning solutions,such as expanding green spaces to relieve the “heat island”effect in cities,could minimize risks.Identifying disadvantaged populations might also promote policies like government-funded cooling systems or tailored heat warnings. As temperatures rise globally,understanding heat's hidden effects on health grows urgent.This study highlights how our environment may shape not just our comfort —but our very biology.While debates continue,one message is clear:extreme heat is more than a temporary discomfort;it could quietly accelerate the clock within us. 28.What did the researchers find about extreme heat? A.It affects people aged 56 and older. B.It speeds up biological ageing in seniors. C.It reduces the risk of age-related diseases. D.It has no long-term impact on human cells. 29.How did Choi's team conduct their research on heat and ageing? A.By analyzing DNA changes in blood. B.By measuring body temperatures daily. C.By comparing aging rates across countries. D.By tracking participants' medical histories. 30.What can be inferred about the limitations of the study according to Argentieri? A.The study over-relied on epigenetic clocks. B.The data on air temperature was inaccurate. C.The sample was insufficient for conclusions. D.The researchers overlooked environmental factors. 31.Based on the research findings,which practical solution would be recommended? A.Funding research on anti-ageing drugs. B.Providing heat relief for those in need. C.Identifying green spaces in urban areas. D.Adapting DNA to enhance heat tolerance. D With climate change threatening traditional agriculture and nearly 700 million people facing hunger worldwide,scientists are developing innovative solutions.One promising technology—Electro-agriculture —enables plants to grow without sunlight by using electricity to transform carbon dioxide and water into nutrients. The process,developed by Professor Feng Jiao's team,involves two key steps:first transforming CO₂ into CO,then turning it into acetate (醋酸盐) — a substance plants can use for growth.This breakthrough allows crops to develop independently of photosynthesis (光合作用) . Electro-agriculture systems are designed as multi-story buildings.Solar panels on the roof generate electricity for the nutrient production process,while plants grow on lower floors.Early experiments have successfully grown mushrooms and algae,with current trials focusing on vegetables like lettuce and tomatoes. One promising application is its potential to ease food insecurity,particularly in regions where traditional agriculture fails."We hope the technology can be employed in locations where traditional agriculture is very difficult,"Jiao says.“Particularly concerning is climate change —places that used to be good land for growing things may not be possible in the future,so this may become a way to stabilize the food supply to the world." But some experts are skeptical of Electro-agriculture's ability to be a large-scale solution to food insecurity.According to Harold van Es,an expert on soil and water management at Cornell University,the effectiveness of this technology is “up in the air.”"Does it actually solve a problem,or is it just a novel way of growing plants?"he asks.“It's not going to solve the global food shortage issues because it's too complex and probably too inefficient from a financial perspective."In fact,the technology requires enormous amounts of energy:feeding the entire U.S.population using Electro-agriculture would require five times the current electricity consumption of the entire U.S..What's more,many crops also require genetic adjustments to effectively use acetate.Additionally,public acceptance of food grown this way remains uncertain. Despite the challenges,researchers remain optimistic about the future of Electro-agriculture.As Jiao and his team continue to improve the technology,they are hopeful that within the next two years,they will achieve “significant development in the field”. 32.What is one major advantage of Electro-agriculture mentioned in the text? A.It replaces traditional farming with lower costs. B.It removes the need for carbon dioxide in plant growth. C.It sustains crop growth without relying on photosynthesis. D.It produces higher yields than existing agricultural method. 33.Which challenge is NOT mentioned for Electro-agriculture? A.The crops need genetic adjustment. B.The crops could become less nutritious. C.The public may resist this growing method. D.The system requires substantial power demand. 34.What does the underlined phrase “up in the air"”in paragraph 4 mean? A.Already proven. B.Potentially promising. C.Widely accepted. D.Still undecided. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Can Electric Farming Feed the Future? B.How Can Solar Panels Solve World Hunger? C.The End of Traditional Farming:A New Era Begins D.From Sunlight to Electricity:An Agriculture Revolution 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Talk to people you disagree with Everyone occasionally has disagreements with friends or family members.Sometimes these disagreements are about simple things,like which restaurant makes the best pizza.Other times,they may be about more serious topics,like events happening in the world. 36 Here's how. 37 You may find that you can't change the other person's mind,and they may not change yours.Still, look for points you do agree on.You may also gain a better understanding of each other's opinion.In the end,it's worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships and communities. See their perspective Even if you don't share someone's point of view,you can still listen to what they have to say.Show that you're paying attention by listening attentively without interrupting them.Think about how their life experiences may be different from yours,which gives them a different perspective. 38 You can start by saying,“OK.If I understand you,you are saying...” Use respectful language When someone has an opinion you don't agree with,it can be easy to dismiss it—especially if it's on a subject you're passionate about.Some people shoot down others' opinions by using irony or attacking the person's judgment. 39 .Instead,focus on speaking calmly.Start with statements that begin with “I” instead of“You”.For example,you might lead your opinion with “I feel”or “I see this another way”. Stick to the facts If you have a strong opinion,you can make a better case for it with facts instead of feelings.Start by asking if you can share your opinion.Then relax your shoulders and say what you would like to say in a calm voice. 40 .Then give the person a chance to respond. A.Change the topic B.Find common ground C.If interrupted,politely ask for your turn to speak D.Avoid using insulting adjectives,like “stupid”or “ridiculous” E.Stay calm and patient,even if the conversation becomes heated F.Another way to show you're listening is by repeating what they said G.Disagreements can be tough,but you can make conversations more productive 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Callie Clemens received an emergency message on her Facebook page at around 11 pm.last July 26th.

As the boats approach,the mountains on either side close in, 59 (reveal)a red sandstone Danxia landscape and forming the backdrop for Bingling Temple Grottoes.For more than a thousand years,people carved stories and beliefs into the mountains with a level of craftsmanship matching the magnificence of nature. Located in the cliffs above the temple's biggest Buddha statue,Cave 169 is the earliest dated grotto in China, 60 the style of sculpture and the imagery allow scholars to track the route of the spread of Buddhism in ancient China. In order to reach it,visitors must climb several flights of 61 (wood)stairs beside the statue. However, the structures at Bingling Temple were destroyed during the wars of the late Qing Dynasty. It wasn't until after the founding of the People's Republic of China 62 efforts were made to restore the grottoes.In 1955,an institute was established for their 63 (preserve),and in 1961,the site was declared as a national key cultural heritage protection unit.In recent years,a series 64 conservation projects funded by national-and-provincial-level funds 65 (conduct)to restore the grottoes. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是李华，你所在城市的博物馆正在策划一场“云游博物馆奇妙周”的线上活动以庆祝“国 际博物馆日”。请给你的美国朋友Jim 写一封推介信，内容包括： 1. 推介理由；2. 活动内容。 云游博物馆奇妙周Digital Museum Adventure Week 注意： 1. 词数应为80左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 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。 This past summer,I joined my sister's family for their annual Adirondack vacation in a rented cottage on a lake,the same place my family has stayed since I was a little kid.There are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy:swimming,fishing and sand castle building on the beach.By the third day,I had noticed that my ten-year-old niece,Jannie,had spent most of her time watching cable TV and browsing through the gift shops in town.Not exactly the wilderness experience I remembered from my youth. So,at dinner,I told Jannie we should hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning,which was called Rocky Point because the peak is bare and rock-covered."Well,"replied Jannie. "Tomorrow there are some shows on the Disney Channel,so I'm going to be pretty busy.”"When your mother and I used to come here at your age,we were too busy swimming and hiking up mountains." “Sounds more like punishment than a vacation,"she shrugged her shoulders."Besides,I don't think I can walk that far.” When I said it only took a half-hour of steady walking to get to the top,she grumbled(嘟囔),“Fine, I'll go.”I knew she was agreeing just to shut me up,but I would take anything I could get. The next morning was a perfect day for a hike,with sunshine and clear skies.I got up early and took some sandwiches and water bottles,which I tucked into my backpack along with the bug spray and the camera.Jannie came shuffling downstairs,sighed dramatically,rolled her eyes and announced in a very unenthusiastic,robot-like voice,"I’m ready to go hiking,Uncle David."Anyway,we climbed into my car and drove to the trailhead about ten minutes away. As we stood at the edge of the parking lot and looked down the shaded trail that led into the woods.“I am still not sure this is a good idea,but if you and Mom could do it,I can too,I guess.”Jennie uttered. 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。 For the moment she was determined to start our journey.
