From volcanic landscapes to sustainable tourism initiatives, here’s why Iceland should top your travel list. The Golden Circle's Hidden Gems Most visitors flock to the Golden Circle’s iconic trio: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir hot springs, and Gullfoss waterfall. However, few explore the nearby Friðheimar Tomato Farm. This geothermal greenhouse serves tomato-based dishes (try the Bloody Mary soup!) while demonstrating Iceland’s renewable energy innovations. Westfjords: Untamed Wilderness Escape crowds in the remote Westfjords. Hike Hornstrandir Nature Reserve’s cliffs where Arctic foxes roam freely. Don’t miss the Dynjandi waterfall —— a 100-meter waterfall resembling a bridal veil. Local tip: Rent a 4x4car; gravel roads require sturdy vehicles. Sustainable Soaking Blue Lagoon (潟湖) may be famous, but consider less-known geothermal pools. Sky Lagoon near Reykjavik offers a seven-step ritual blending Viking traditions with modern spa therapies. For eco-conscious travelers, Vok Baths in East Iceland use 100% natural geothermal water without artificial heating. Midnight Sun Adventures Visit between May-July for 24-hour daylight. Join locals hiking Mount Esja at midnight or kayaking Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon under the golden glow. Pro photographers recommend capturing Seljalandsfoss waterfall with the sun hovering at 2 AM. Responsible Travel Note With overtourism concerns, authorities urge visitors to: • Stick to marked trails • Choose eco-certified accommodations (look for Vakinn labels) • Support rural communities by visiting East Iceland and the Highlands When to Go •Winter (Nov-Mar): Northern Lights, ice caves • Summer (Jun-Aug): Midnight sun, puffin (海雀) colonies • Shoulder seasons: Lower prices, fewer crowds 21. What is suggested for visitors exploring the Westfjords? A. Try tomato-based dishes. B. Watch out for Arctic foxes. C. Rent a4x4 vehicle for gravel roads. D. Join the crowds at the Dynjandi waterfall. 22. Which activity is recommended for environmentally friendly travelers? A. Go on midnight sun adventures. B. Hike off marked trails in Hornstrandir. C. Soak in the Blue Lagoon's heated pools. D. Visit Vok Baths using natural geothermal water. 23. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A geography textbook. C. A product advertisement. D. An entertainment magazine. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇旅游指南类说明文，主要介绍冰岛全年值得体验的特色景点和可持续旅行建议，包括黄金圈隐藏景点、西峡湾荒野、地热温泉和午夜太阳活动等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Local tip: Rent a 4x4 car; gravel roads require sturdy vehicles.(当地建议：租赁四驱车；碎石路需要坚固车辆)”可知，西峡湾路况特殊需特定车型。选项C“租赁四驱车应对碎石路”与原文完全对应。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sustainable Soaking部分下的“Vok Baths in East Iceland use 100% natural geothermal water without artificial heating(东冰岛的Vok浴室使用100%天然地热水且无人工加热)”可知，使用天然地热水的Vok浴室符合环保理念。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“While Iceland’s aurora borealis (北极光) draws millions, this Nordic island offers year-round wonders far beyond it. From volcanic landscapes to sustainable tourism initiatives, here's why Iceland should top your travel list.(虽然冰岛的极光吸引了数以百万计的游客，但这个北欧岛屿全年都有超越极光的奇观。从火山景观到可持续计划，这就是为什么冰岛应该排在你的旅行清单首位。)”以及小标题可知，全文通过小标题分模块推荐景点（如“黄金圈隐藏瑰宝”）、提供旅行贴士（如“责任旅行须知”）和季节建议（如“何时前往”），具有典型旅游指南特征。A项“旅游指南”准确概括文本功能，故选A。 B Dr. Aminata Diallo, a 52-year-old Malian engineer, never imagined her childhood chore — carrying water 8km daily — would inspire a revolution. Today, her solar-powered atmospheric water generators (AWGs) relieve the thirst of 300,000 Sahel villagers, earning her the 2023 Rolex Award for Enterprise. Born in drought-stricken Timbuktu, Diallo experienced her “eureka moment” during a sandstorm: “I watched camels lick condensation (冷凝水) off rocks and thought — why can’t humans harvest air’s moisture?” While studying mechanical engineering at MIT, she faced skepticism. “Professors said AWGs were impractical for deserts,” she recalled. Determined, Diallo tested prototypes in her dorm shower’s humidity, often working late into the night to refine her designs. Traditional AWGs required expensive hygroscopic materials. Diallo’s innovation? Treating bamboo fibers with sodium chloride — a technique inspired by Mali’s salt caravans (商队). “Bamboo’s structure mimics camel nostrils (鼻孔) which efficiently take in moisture from the air,” she explained at TEDGlobal 2022. Her $50 portable units now produce 20 liters daily even at 15% humidity, making clean water accessible to remote communities. Diallo’s nonprofit “Jiko Collective” trains women to assemble AWGs, changing traditional gender roles in conservative regíons. “My first workshop had three grandmothers and a nursing mother,” she told The Guardian, “they fit machine parts while watching babies, proving that innovation thrives when everyone contributes.” Since 2020, over 4,000 women have learned these skills, giving clean water to 300,000 people and transforming their communities’ social fabric. When tech giants offered millions for her patent, Diallo refused. “Water belongs to the sky, not shareholders,” she declared. Instead, she open-sourced designs through UNESCO, making them available for worldwide adoption. Critics call it naive, but to this award-winning engineer, every water drop from air shouts, “The sky’s gift belongs to all.” 24. What initially motivated Diallo’s invention? A. Academic pressure at MIT. B. Childhood experiences in Mali. C. Encouragement from professors. D. Inspiration from camel behavior. 25. What does the underlined word “hygroscopic” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Water-absorbing. B. Enengy-saving. C. Heat-resistant. D. Cost-effective. 26. Why did Diallo refuse tech companies’ offers? A. To focus on academic research. B. To protect her technical secrets. C. To reduce production costs further. D. To keep designs publicly accessible. 27. Which of the following best describe Diallo’s character? A. Ambitious and profit-driven. B. Competitive and self-centered. C. Observant and socially conscious. D. Conservative and strong-minded. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了马里工程师Aminata Diallo将童年经历转化为创新发明，用太阳能驱动的大气水发生器解决西非萨赫勒地区饮水问题的历程，突出其技术突破、社会影响及公益精神。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Dr. Aminata Diallo, a 52-year-old Malian engineer, never imagined her childhood chore — carrying water 8km daily — would inspire a revolution. (马里工程师Aminata Diallo从未想过她的童年日常——每天徒步8公里取水——会引发一场革命。)”以及第二段“Born in drought-stricken Timbuktu, Diallo experienced her “eureka moment” during a sandstorm: “I watched camels lick condensation (冷凝水) off rocks and thought — why can’t humans harvest air’s moisture?” (出生在饱受干旱之苦的廷巴克图，Diallo在一场沙尘暴中经历了她的“顿悟时刻”：“我看到骆驼舔去岩石上的冷凝水，心想——为什么人类不能收集空气中的水分呢？”)”可知，Diallo的童年在马里干旱地区度过，每日长途取水的成长经历是其发明的核心动因和最初动机，并在看到骆驼的行为后，又得到了进一步的启发。因此从最初动机的角度来看，童年在马里的经历符合题意。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Traditional AWGs required expensive hygroscopic materials. Diall’s innovation? Treating bamboo fibers with sodium chloride — a technique inspired by Mali’s salt caravans (商队). “Bamboo’s structure mimics camel nostrils (鼻孔) which efficiently take in moisture from the air,” she explained at TEDGlobal 2022. (传统的大气水发生器需要昂贵的hygroscopic材料。Diallo 的创新之处在于？用氯化钠处理竹纤维——这是一种受马里盐商队启发的技术。她在2022年TED全球大会上解释说：“竹子的结构模仿骆驼的鼻孔，能有效地从空气中吸收水分。”)”可知，因为大气水发生器是用来收集空气中水分的，且竹子能从空气中吸收水分，所以这种材料是能吸收水分的。由此可推断hygroscopic意思是“吸水的”，与Water-absorbing表达的意思一致。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When tech giants offered millions for her patent, Diallo refused. “Water belongs to the sky, not shareholders,” she declared. Instead, she open-sourced designs through UNESCO, making them available for worldwide adoption. (当科技巨头出价数百万购买她的专利时，Diallo拒绝了。她宣称：“水属于天空，而不属于股东。”相反，她通过联合国教科文组织开源了设计，让全世界都能采用)”可知，Diallo强调资源公共属性，拒绝专利私有化，因此拒绝科技公司的出价是为了让她的设计能被公众获取。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Born in drought-stricken Timbuktu, Diallo experienced her “eureka moment” during a sandstorm: “I watched camels lick condensation (冷凝水) off rocks and thought — why can’t humans harvest air’s moisture?” (出生在饱受干旱之苦的廷巴克图，Diallo在一场沙尘暴中经历了她的“顿悟时刻”：“我看到骆驼舔去岩石上的冷凝水，心想——为什么人类不能收集空气中的水分呢？”)”和第四段“Diallo’s nonprofit “Jiko Collective” trains women to assemble AWGs, changing traditional gender roles in conservative regíons. (Diallo的非营利组织Jiko Collective训练妇女组装大气水发生器，改变了保守地区的传统性别角色)”以及最后一段“Instead, she open-sourced designs through UNESCO, making them available for worldwide adoption. (相反，她通过联合国教科文组织开源了设计，让全世界都能采用)”可知，Diallo能从观察骆驼的行为中获得灵感，并开源设计让更多人受益，还训练妇女，改变传统性别角色，说明她很善于观察且具有社会意识。故选C项。 C Once dismissed as a mental interference, daydreaming is undergoing a scientific reevaluation. In our productivity-obsessed era, where multitasking reduces attention spans to mere seconds, this once-criticized mental state is now recognized as a vital cognitive process. Groundbreaking studies from leading universities reveal its multifaceted benefits, challenging conventional wisdom about focus and creativity. Harvard neuroscientists recently demonstrated the mechanics behind this phenomenon. Their 2024 study in Cognitive Psychology had 150 participants complete creative problem-solving tasks. Those practicing structured daydreaming —— guiding thoughts around specific themes like “future inventions” —— outperformed intensely focused peers by 30%. Brain imaging revealed heightened activity in the default mode network （DMN）, a neural circuit previously mislabeled as idle during rest. “The DMN acts as a mental workshop,” explains lead researcher Dr. Laura Bennett. “When consciously directed, it connects distant concepts —— like linking childhood memories to workplace challenges —— to spark innovation.” Another study from Stanford University highlights daydreaming’s role in emotional regulation. In controlled trials, subjects who daydreamed for 10 minutes after high-stress simulations showed 25% lower cortisol levels and improved emotional clarity. “This isn’t escapism,” clarifies psychologist Dr. Emily Carter. “It’s the brain’s self-maintenance mode, converting chaotic emotions into manageable narratives.” Interestingly, daydreaming also improves long-term memory. A 2023 experiment at the University of Cambridge showed that students who daydreamed during breaks between study sessions retained 20% more information than those who didn’t. “This suggests that daydreaming helps consolidate learning,” notes Dr. James Wilson. Despite these benefits, experts caution against excessive daydreaming. It is indicated that excessive, undirected daydreaming correlates with a 17% increase in reality-disconnection symptoms among adolescents. “While beneficial in moderation, too much daydreaming can lead to disengagement from reality,” warns Dr. Bennett. Balancing focused work with periods of mindful daydreaming is key to harnessing its full potential. 28. What was the conventional view of daydreaming? A. A vital cognitive process. B. A distraction of mental focus. C. A way to improve memory. D. A method to enhance creativity. 29. What can be inferred about the brain’s default mode network (DMN)? A. It remains inactive during both rest and focused tasks. B. It only activates during stressful situations to reduce anxiety. C. It was once considered inactive but now known to link ideas. D. It primarily strengthens long-term memory through conscious effort. 30. Which outcome is associated with structured daydreaming in the text? A. Disengagement from reality. B. Decreased long-term memory. C. Strengthened stress and anxiety. D. Enhanced emotional management. 31. Which real-life situation best matches the research findings on daydreaming? A. A student avoids all breaks to maintain focus. B. An artist schedules deliberate “mind-wandering time”. C. A teacher bans daydreaming in class to ensure discipline. D. A programmer works 12-hour shifts without mental pauses. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31.

This is ARCHiVE (Automated Robotic Cultural Heritage Inspection and Verification Engine), a£2.3 million project revolutionizing how fragile artifacts are preserved and studied. Combining robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced imaging, ARCHiVE represents a model shift in cultural conservation. Traditional conservation methods often risk damaging delicate materials. ARCHiVE’s robotic system, equipped with micro-sensors and AI algorithms, can detect cracks invisible to the human eye and predict structural weaknesses before they worsen. “It’s like having a doctor for ancient books,” explains Dr. Emily Carter, lead conservator. Since its 2022 launch, ARCHiVE has scanned over 8,000 items, from Egyptian papyri to medieval maps, with 99.7% accuracy in damage assessment. Its non-invasive approach has reduced physical handling by 85%, significantly lowering the risk of accidental damage. The project’s digital twin technology creates exact virtual copies, allowing global access to restricted collections. During the 2023 Cairo Museum flood, ARCHiVE’s digital models enabled researchers to virtually “restore” water-damaged artifacts within hours. “We’re not just saving objects,” says Carter, “we’re preserving humanity’s collective memory.” This technology has also democratized access, with over 50,000 digital artifacts now available to researchers and the public worldwide. However, some scholars argue that over-reliance on technology may distance researchers from hands-on experience. “You can’t smell history through a screen,” protests Prof. James Whitaker, a traditionalist at Cambridge. Others worry about data ownership, as scanned artifacts become digital assets potentially controlled by tech corporations. A2024 survey revealed that 62% of conservators fear losing control over digitized cultural heritage. ARCHiVE’s next phase involves 4D scanning, capturing how materials change over time. Pilot tests on Viking ship timbers have already revealed previously unknown construction techniques. Meanwhile, UNESCO is developing global standards for digital heritage, ensuring these technological marvels serve humanity rather than corporate interests. As Carter reflects, “Our ancestors left us these treasures; our duty is to pass them forward — both physically and digitally.” 32. What is the main function of ARCHiVE’s robotic system? A. Repairing damaged artifacts. B. Creating virtual museum tours. C. Identifying and forecasting damage. D. Selling digital copies of artifacts. 33. How did ARCHiVE help during the Cairo Museum flood? A. By raising emergency funds online. B. By training local conservation staff. C. By physically moving artifacts to safety. D. By providing digital models for restoration. 34. What is Prof. Whitaker’s main concern about ARCHiVE? A. Data ownership concerns. B. Loss of direct experience. C. High operating costs. D. Environmental impact. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the article? A. ARCHiVE: Digital Guardians of the Past B. Heritage Conservation: Traditional or Digital C. Human Conservators: Why They Still Matter D. AI in Museums: Ethical Dilemmas and Solutions 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35.

Toni Morrison once said, “We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” For Morrison, literature was not merely a form of entertainment. ___37___ Through language, we preserve our experiences, our emotions, and our very essence. James Baldwin, in his essay “The Creative Process”, argued that literature serves as a mirror and a map. He wrote, “___38___” Baldwin believed that literature had the power to confront uncomfortable truths and inspire social change. His works demonstrate how stories can simultaneously reflect reality and chart moral progress. The novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, for instance, not only exposed racial injustice in 1950s America but also envisioned paths toward empathy and reconciliation (和解). Milan Kundera, in “The Art of the Novel”, emphasized literature’s ability to explore the complexity of human existence. “The novel’s wisdom,” he claimed, “is different from the wisdom of philosophy. ___39___ ” For Kundera, literature’s value lies in its capacity to embrace life's contradictions without seeking simplistic resolutions. As I reflect on these perspectives, I am reminded of literature’s unique role in our lives. ___40___ By revealing unseen possibilities, it acts as both a time capsule of collective memory and a blueprint for unwritten futures. In a world increasingly driven by binary (二进制) thinking, literature offers a space for subtle difference, empathy, and profound understanding. A. It is an act of resistance against being forgotten. B. Literature's ability to entertain is its most important function. C. Literature provides clear answers to life's most difficult questions. D. Some even argue that literature has lost its place in modern society. E. It is not just a reflection of who we are but also a vision of who we might become. F. It is the wisdom of uncertainty, of ambiguity and of questioning rather than answering. G. It was through literature that we could see ourselves clearly and chart a course for our future. 【答案】36.

From the minute Susie was born, Amanda knew the baby disliked her. As Susie grew, she hated Amanda for telling her how to do things. Amanda viewed Susie as spoilt, because she was the youngest in the family. At secondary school, Amanda shone at English; Susie was a maths whizz. Each made the other feel inadequate. When Amanda turned fifteen, Susie was angry when her sister was allowed to go to the youth club disco. Perhaps that was why Susie married so young — anything to beat her sister down the aisle. But Amanda got her revenge. When it was her turn, she chose a bridesmaids clashed with Susie’s hair at her wedding. Now, despite being in their fifties, these grievances (牢骚) were still fresh in the sisters’ minds. The only thing they had in common was that they both loved their mother deeply. Then one day, her father rang with the terrible news that their mother had died suddenly. Both sisters were stricken with grief, but Susie, was also upset that their father hadn’t informed her first. Then their father told them about their mother’s will. “She’s left you the painting.” He said to them both. The painting — a portrait of the sisters by the mother — was the source of one of their biggest childhood arguments. To their surprise, it was bequeathed (遗赠) to both, “Your mom hopes that you each have it for six months and then swap over, for all your rest life.” added the father. “We live miles apart. We could get it delivered.” said Susie. “It’s against the will,” their father replied, “‘I love to look at it, especially now you've both left home.’ Your mom used to say. Now it felt like the last link to her.” For the sake of their beloved mother, the two sister began the cyclic keeping of the painting. This time it was Susie’s turn to deliver the painting. 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When Susie arrived, she found Amanda lying in the bed with her leg broken in an accident. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Silently, they began to admire the painting, and all of a sudden, a line of little words beneath draw Amanda’s attention. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When Susie arrived, she found Amanda lying in the bed with her leg broken in an accident. The sight of her sister, pale and immobilized, stirred an unfamiliar ache in Susie’s chest. Susie’s initial irritation at having to make the trip faded away as compassion took over. “What happened?” she asked, her voice sharper than intended. Amanda grimaced. “Slipped on the stairs yesterday.” For a moment, silence hung between them. Susie hesitated, then set the painting against the wall. “Tea?” she muttered, already heading to the kitchen. As she boiled water, memories flickered — their mother’s gentle chiding, “Be kind, girls. Life’s too short.” Susie handed the tea to her sister gently. “Thank you.” said Amanda sincerely but embarrassedly. Paragraph 2: Silently, they began to admire the painting, and all of a sudden, a line of little words beneath drew Amanda’s attention. Leaning closer, she whispered, “Look — there’s something here.” Susie squinted at the faint script near the frame: “My deepest wish — that you see yourselves through each other’s eyes. Forgive, love, and cherish.” Amanda’s breath caught. Susie traced the words with trembling fingers, tears blurring her vision. “All these years... she wanted us to —” “Stop fighting,” Amanda finished softly. Their eyes met, decades of rivalry dissolving into shared sorrow. Tentatively, Susie reached for Amanda’s hand. The painting, once a battleground, now glowed with their mother's unspoken plea. It was a message of hope and reconciliation — a bridge mending at last. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一对长期不和的姐妹Amanda和Susie，在母亲去世后因共同继承一幅画而被迫接触，最终和解的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Susie到达时，她发现Amanda因事故摔断了腿正躺在床上。”可知，第一段可描写Susie看到妹妹受伤时的心理变化以及Amanda受伤后对姐姐态度的转变。 ②由第二段首句内容“她们静静地开始欣赏这幅画，突然间，画布下方的一行小字引起了Amanda的注意。”可知，第二段可描写两人母亲“希望她们通过彼此的眼睛看待自己，学会原谅与相爱”的遗愿后泪目，多年积怨在共同悲伤中消融。 2.续写线索：意外伤病——被迫照料——共同赏画——发现留言——回忆冲突源头——肢体接触破冰——感悟母亲深意 3.词汇激活 行为类： ① 扮鬼脸：grimace/make a face ② 嘀咕：mutter/murmur ③ 递给：hand/give 情绪类： ① 希望：hope/wish ② 和解：reconciliation/rapprochement 【点睛】[高分句型1] Susie’s initial irritation at having to make the trip faded away as compassion took over.  (由as引导的状语从句) [高分句型2] Leaning closer, she whispered, “Look — there’s something here.” (现在分词作状语) [高分句型3] Susie traced the words with trembling fingers, tears blurring her vision.

From volcanic landscapes to sustainable tourism initiatives, here’s why Iceland should top your travel list. The Golden Circle's Hidden Gems Most visitors flock to the Golden Circle’s iconic trio: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir hot springs, and Gullfoss waterfall. However, few explore the nearby Friðheimar Tomato Farm. This geothermal greenhouse serves tomato-based dishes (try the Bloody Mary soup!) while demonstrating Iceland’s renewable energy innovations. Westfjords: Untamed Wilderness Escape crowds in the remote Westfjords. Hike Hornstrandir Nature Reserve’s cliffs where Arctic foxes roam freely. Don’t miss the Dynjandi waterfall —— a 100-meter waterfall resembling a bridal veil. Local tip: Rent a 4x4car; gravel roads require sturdy vehicles. Sustainable Soaking Blue Lagoon (潟湖) may be famous, but consider less-known geothermal pools. Sky Lagoon near Reykjavik offers a seven-step ritual blending Viking traditions with modern spa therapies. For eco-conscious travelers, Vok Baths in East Iceland use 100% natural geothermal water without artificial heating. Midnight Sun Adventures Visit between May-July for 24-hour daylight. Join locals hiking Mount Esja at midnight or kayaking Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon under the golden glow. Pro photographers recommend capturing Seljalandsfoss waterfall with the sun hovering at 2 AM. Responsible Travel Note With overtourism concerns, authorities urge visitors to: • Stick to marked trails • Choose eco-certified accommodations (look for Vakinn labels) • Support rural communities by visiting East Iceland and the Highlands When to Go •Winter (Nov-Mar): Northern Lights, ice caves • Summer (Jun-Aug): Midnight sun, puffin (海雀) colonies • Shoulder seasons: Lower prices, fewer crowds 21. What is suggested for visitors exploring the Westfjords? A. Try tomato-based dishes. B. Watch out for Arctic foxes. C. Rent a4x4 vehicle for gravel roads. D. Join the crowds at the Dynjandi waterfall. 22. Which activity is recommended for environmentally friendly travelers? A. Go on midnight sun adventures. B. Hike off marked trails in Hornstrandir. C. Soak in the Blue Lagoon's heated pools. D. Visit Vok Baths using natural geothermal water. 23. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A geography textbook. C. A product advertisement. D. An entertainment magazine. B Dr. Aminata Diallo, a 52-year-old Malian engineer, never imagined her childhood chore — carrying water 8km daily — would inspire a revolution. Today, her solar-powered atmospheric water generators (AWGs) relieve the thirst of 300,000 Sahel villagers, earning her the 2023 Rolex Award for Enterprise. Born in drought-stricken Timbuktu, Diallo experienced her “eureka moment” during a sandstorm: “I watched camels lick condensation (冷凝水) off rocks and thought — why can’t humans harvest air’s moisture?” While studying mechanical engineering at MIT, she faced skepticism. “Professors said AWGs were impractical for deserts,” she recalled. Determined, Diallo tested prototypes in her dorm shower’s humidity, often working late into the night to refine her designs. Traditional AWGs required expensive hygroscopic materials. Diallo’s innovation? Treating bamboo fibers with sodium chloride — a technique inspired by Mali’s salt caravans (商队). “Bamboo’s structure mimics camel nostrils (鼻孔) which efficiently take in moisture from the air,” she explained at TEDGlobal 2022. Her $50 portable units now produce 20 liters daily even at 15% humidity, making clean water accessible to remote communities. Diallo’s nonprofit “Jiko Collective” trains women to assemble AWGs, changing traditional gender roles in conservative regíons. “My first workshop had three grandmothers and a nursing mother,” she told The Guardian, “they fit machine parts while watching babies, proving that innovation thrives when everyone contributes.” Since 2020, over 4,000 women have learned these skills, giving clean water to 300,000 people and transforming their communities’ social fabric. When tech giants offered millions for her patent, Diallo refused. “Water belongs to the sky, not shareholders,” she declared. Instead, she open-sourced designs through UNESCO, making them available for worldwide adoption. Critics call it naive, but to this award-winning engineer, every water drop from air shouts, “The sky’s gift belongs to all.” 24. What initially motivated Diallo’s invention? A. Academic pressure at MIT. B. Childhood experiences in Mali. C. Encouragement from professors. D. Inspiration from camel behavior. 25. What does the underlined word “hygroscopic” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Water-absorbing. B. Enengy-saving. C. Heat-resistant. D. Cost-effective. 26. Why did Diallo refuse tech companies’ offers? A. To focus on academic research. B. To protect her technical secrets. C. To reduce production costs further. D. To keep designs publicly accessible. 27. Which of the following best describe Diallo’s character? A. Ambitious and profit-driven. B. Competitive and self-centered. C. Observant and socially conscious. D. Conservative and strong-minded. C Once dismissed as a mental interference, daydreaming is undergoing a scientific reevaluation. In our productivity-obsessed era, where multitasking reduces attention spans to mere seconds, this once-criticized mental state is now recognized as a vital cognitive process. Groundbreaking studies from leading universities reveal its multifaceted benefits, challenging conventional wisdom about focus and creativity. Harvard neuroscientists recently demonstrated the mechanics behind this phenomenon. Their 2024 study in Cognitive Psychology had 150 participants complete creative problem-solving tasks. Those practicing structured daydreaming —— guiding thoughts around specific themes like “future inventions” —— outperformed intensely focused peers by 30%. Brain imaging revealed heightened activity in the default mode network （DMN）, a neural circuit previously mislabeled as idle during rest. “The DMN acts as a mental workshop,” explains lead researcher Dr. Laura Bennett. “When consciously directed, it connects distant concepts —— like linking childhood memories to workplace challenges —— to spark innovation.” Another study from Stanford University highlights daydreaming’s role in emotional regulation. In controlled trials, subjects who daydreamed for 10 minutes after high-stress simulations showed 25% lower cortisol levels and improved emotional clarity. “This isn’t escapism,” clarifies psychologist Dr. Emily Carter. “It’s the brain’s self-maintenance mode, converting chaotic emotions into manageable narratives.” Interestingly, daydreaming also improves long-term memory. A 2023 experiment at the University of Cambridge showed that students who daydreamed during breaks between study sessions retained 20% more information than those who didn’t. “This suggests that daydreaming helps consolidate learning,” notes Dr. James Wilson. Despite these benefits, experts caution against excessive daydreaming. It is indicated that excessive, undirected daydreaming correlates with a 17% increase in reality-disconnection symptoms among adolescents. “While beneficial in moderation, too much daydreaming can lead to disengagement from reality,” warns Dr. Bennett. Balancing focused work with periods of mindful daydreaming is key to harnessing its full potential. 28. What was the conventional view of daydreaming? A. A vital cognitive process. B. A distraction of mental focus. C. A way to improve memory. D. A method to enhance creativity. 29. What can be inferred about the brain’s default mode network (DMN)? A. It remains inactive during both rest and focused tasks. B. It only activates during stressful situations to reduce anxiety. C. It was once considered inactive but now known to link ideas. D. It primarily strengthens long-term memory through conscious effort. 30. Which outcome is associated with structured daydreaming in the text? A. Disengagement from reality. B. Decreased long-term memory. C. Strengthened stress and anxiety. D. Enhanced emotional management. 31. Which real-life situation best matches the research findings on daydreaming? A. A student avoids all breaks to maintain focus. B. An artist schedules deliberate “mind-wandering time”. C. A teacher bans daydreaming in class to ensure discipline. D. A programmer works 12-hour shifts without mental pauses. D In a quiet corner of Oxford University’s Bodleian Library, a robotic arm flips through a 15th-century manuscript, its high-resolution cameras capturing every faded ink stroke. This is ARCHiVE (Automated Robotic Cultural Heritage Inspection and Verification Engine), a£2.3 million project revolutionizing how fragile artifacts are preserved and studied. Combining robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced imaging, ARCHiVE represents a model shift in cultural conservation. Traditional conservation methods often risk damaging delicate materials. ARCHiVE’s robotic system, equipped with micro-sensors and AI algorithms, can detect cracks invisible to the human eye and predict structural weaknesses before they worsen. “It’s like having a doctor for ancient books,” explains Dr. Emily Carter, lead conservator. Since its 2022 launch, ARCHiVE has scanned over 8,000 items, from Egyptian papyri to medieval maps, with 99.7% accuracy in damage assessment. Its non-invasive approach has reduced physical handling by 85%, significantly lowering the risk of accidental damage. The project’s digital twin technology creates exact virtual copies, allowing global access to restricted collections. During the 2023 Cairo Museum flood, ARCHiVE’s digital models enabled researchers to virtually “restore” water-damaged artifacts within hours. “We’re not just saving objects,” says Carter, “we’re preserving humanity’s collective memory.” This technology has also democratized access, with over 50,000 digital artifacts now available to researchers and the public worldwide. However, some scholars argue that over-reliance on technology may distance researchers from hands-on experience. “You can’t smell history through a screen,” protests Prof. James Whitaker, a traditionalist at Cambridge. Others worry about data ownership, as scanned artifacts become digital assets potentially controlled by tech corporations. A2024 survey revealed that 62% of conservators fear losing control over digitized cultural heritage. ARCHiVE’s next phase involves 4D scanning, capturing how materials change over time. Pilot tests on Viking ship timbers have already revealed previously unknown construction techniques. Meanwhile, UNESCO is developing global standards for digital heritage, ensuring these technological marvels serve humanity rather than corporate interests. As Carter reflects, “Our ancestors left us these treasures; our duty is to pass them forward — both physically and digitally.” 32 What is the main function of ARCHiVE’s robotic system? A. Repairing damaged artifacts. B. Creating virtual museum tours. C. Identifying and forecasting damage. D. Selling digital copies of artifacts. 33. How did ARCHiVE help during the Cairo Museum flood? A. By raising emergency funds online. B. By training local conservation staff. C. By physically moving artifacts to safety. D. By providing digital models for restoration. 34. What is Prof. Whitaker’s main concern about ARCHiVE? A. Data ownership concerns. B. Loss of direct experience. C. High operating costs. D. Environmental impact. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the article? A. ARCHiVE: Digital Guardians of the Past B. Heritage Conservation: Traditional or Digital C. Human Conservators: Why They Still Matter D. AI in Museums: Ethical Dilemmas and Solutions 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Enduring Power of Literature In an age dominated by digital media, the question of literature’s relevance has never been more pressing. ___36___ As a novelist and literary critic, I often turn to the insights of great writers who have delved into this question before me. Toni Morrison once said, “We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” For Morrison, literature was not merely a form of entertainment. ___37___ Through language, we preserve our experiences, our emotions, and our very essence. James Baldwin, in his essay “The Creative Process”, argued that literature serves as a mirror and a map. He wrote, “___38___” Baldwin believed that literature had the power to confront uncomfortable truths and inspire social change. His works demonstrate how stories can simultaneously reflect reality and chart moral progress. The novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, for instance, not only exposed racial injustice in 1950s America but also envisioned paths toward empathy and reconciliation (和解). Milan Kundera in “The Art of the Novel”, emphasized literature’s ability to explore the complexity of human existence. “The novel’s wisdom,” he claimed, “is different from the wisdom of philosophy. ___39___ ” For Kundera, literature’s value lies in its capacity to embrace life's contradictions without seeking simplistic resolutions. As I reflect on these perspectives, I am reminded of literature’s unique role in our lives. ___40___ By revealing unseen possibilities, it acts as both a time capsule of collective memory and a blueprint for unwritten futures. In a world increasingly driven by binary (二进制) thinking, literature offers a space for subtle difference, empathy, and profound understanding. A. It is an act of resistance against being forgotten. B. Literature's ability to entertain is its most important function. C. Literature provides clear answers to life's most difficult questions. D. Some even argue that literature has lost its place in modern society. E. It is not just a reflection of who we are but also a vision of who we might become. F. It is the wisdom of uncertainty, of ambiguity and of questioning rather than answering. G. It was through literature that we could see ourselves clearly and chart a course for our future. 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During a night shift at the vet clinic, my colleague mentioned a Yorkshire Terrier puppy.
