【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Hello, everyone. As part of this series of lectures on the development of early humans, today we are looking at rock art.
Rock art is found all over the world, and what is rather amazing is that people from different cultures often drew in the same way — for example, when our ancestors drew humans, they would often represent them as stick figures.
But I’d like to focus now on the rock art of the early residents of Australia. The images that survive in this part of the world date back to at least 20,000 years ago. In fact, people in Australia were still practicing this art form in the late 18th century, when the Europeans began to arrive, and certain images point to the contact between the two groups. For example, one image that provides evidence of European arrival is that of horses, an animal that would have been very unusual in the Australian landscape.
Um, it isn’t actually known how many sites there are across Australia where rock art can be found, but unfortunately, we do know that much of the art is being lost to us. Since the1960s, industry alone has destroyed around an estimated 10,000 pieces of art...

During daily breaks from the world’s many dramas, I encountered another: The blue jay (松鸦) in my backyard is a ladies’ man.
Each day, he lands on the bird feeder and fills up on seeds and nuts, which makes him a good provider — an attractive mating advantage for birds that typically stay with one partner. He dutifully delivers food from my place to his home in a tree across the street. Then I noticed him paying regular calls to the row of oaks (橡树) a few doors down, his mouth full and his feathers a bright blue. I assumed he was visiting a second mate.
My wife was with me once when the jay took his love nest detour (绕路), and I pointed out what he was up to. My wife’s response was Socratic: “How do you know where that bird goes?” Based on the research, bird experts would ask the same question and argue that jays are actually no-nonsense birds. Smart, fierce and loyal. They are also industrious, stockpiling food in secret locations for later.
After considering my wife’s question, I realized that I might’ve been too quick to judge the jay. Further evidence soon arrived. After some blackbirds stuffed themselves at the feeder, making quick work of the seeds, I left it bare for several days to keep them away. Noticing the empty tray, the blue jay dashed into a nearby tree and pulled out a hidden peanut from the bark.
These birds don’t just store food; they build reserves. So after finishing the peanut, off he flew into the row of oaks — and emerged to head directly across the street to his home. It was all suddenly clear: That jay didn’t have a love nest. He had a nest egg, a little something put away in a few nearby trees to feed his family when food ran low.
Next time I encounter another one of the world’s dramas, I won’t be too quick to judge.
24. What did the author assume about the jay’s taking a detour?
A. It was building a new nest. B. It was guarding its territory.
C. It was attracted to some food. D. It was involved in a secret affair.
25. What caused the author to rethink his assumption about the jay?
A. A question from his wife. B. A research study on blue jays.
C. A sudden change in the jay’s behavior. D. A conversation with other bird experts.
26. Why did the jay make the detour?
A. To create a backup food source. B. To seek extra food for his family.
C. To build a shelter in a nearby tree. D. To take a brief rest during his flight.
27. What is the best title for this text?
A. A Bird-watcher’s Inspiring Tour B. What a Charmer: A Jay’s Love Story
C. The Feeder Drama: Who Ate the Seeds? D. The Mysterious Ladies’ Man in My Backyard
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要内容是作者以为后院松鸦有第二个伴侣。经妻子提醒及后续观察,发现松鸦是在储备食物,意识到自己不应妄下判断。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Then I noticed him paying regular calls to the row of oaks (橡树) a few doors down, his mouth full and his feathers a bright blue. I assumed he was visiting a second mate. (然后我注意到他经常去几扇门之外的那排橡树那里,嘴里叼着东西,羽毛是鲜艳的蓝色。我猜想他可能是去拜访第二个配偶了。)”可知,作者发现松鸦回家之前都会绕路去附近的橡树而推断他还有另一个伴侣,即作者认为松鸦的行为很神秘。故选 D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“My wife was with me once when the jay took his love nest detour (绕路), and I pointed out what he was up to. My wife’s response was Socratic: ‘How do you know where that bird goes?’ (有一次我妻子和我在一起,当那只松鸦绕道去它的爱巢时,我指出了它的意图。我妻子的回答很有苏格拉底式的风格:“你怎么知道那只鸟去了哪里呢?”)”以及第四段“After considering my wife’ s question, I realized that I might’ve been too quick to judge the jay. (在考虑了我妻子的问题之后,我意识到我可能对那只松鸦的判断过于仓促了。)”可知,是妻子的一个问题让作者重新思考他对松鸦的假设。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“These birds don’ t just store food; they build reserves. So after finishing the peanut, off he flew into the row of oaks — and emerged to head directly across the street to his home. It was all suddenly clear: That jay didn’ t have a love nest. He had a nest egg, a little something put away in a few nearby trees to feed his family when food ran low. (这些鸟不仅仅是储存食物,它们是在建立储备。于是,吃完那颗花生后,它就飞进了那排橡树——然后又飞出来,径直穿过街道回到它的家。一切突然变得清晰起来:那只松鸦并没有一个“爱巢”,它有一个“储蓄罐”,在附近的几棵树里藏了一些食物,以便在食物短缺时用来养活家人。)”可知,松鸦绕道而行的原因是它在储备食物。故选 A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I encountered another: The blue jay (松鸦) in my backyard is a ladies’ man. (我家后院的蓝松鸦是个“花花公子”。)”及全文内容可知,文章讲述的就是作者误会后院松鸦不忠的故事,故D选项“我家后院神秘的女士的伴侣”可作为本文标题。故选 D。
C
Nations with large amounts of wind and solar in their power grids (电网) are particularly exposed to rising energy bills due to sharp increases in the gas price. The relationship between decarbonisation and swings in prices has been a controversial (有争议的) issue as governments consider clean energy strategies, but an analysis of power prices has now provided evidence to inform the debate.
Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.
Gas power plants, which can be switched on and off relatively easily, are frequently relied on to provide power when renewable generation is low. But gas is often the most expensive source of power, and electricity market rules mean the most expensive generator sets the price for the entire market.
Raúl Bajo-Buenestado at the University of Navarra and his colleagues found nations with more wind and solar in their power systems were more vulnerable (易受影响) to natural gas price shocks. Spain, for example, has large volumes of solar power and is particularly sensitive to power price changes. “If you have natural gas, wind and solar, this is going to make the perfect cocktail for you to be vulnerable,” says Bajo-Buenestado.
It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo-Buenestado points out that other nations with low-carbon power grids, such as Norway and France, rely on hydropower and nuclear technology, which are reliable generators. “We don’t see a clear correlation between decarbonisation and sensitivity to natural gas price changes,” he says.
Solving the problem will require nations to replace gas as the back-up fuel of choice. One answer is for grid operators to push the power system to become better able to absorb peaks and valleys in generation. “The underlying message is that getting a flexible system is now as important as building renewables,” says Michael Grubb at University College London.
28. What does the controversial issue in the first paragraph refer to?
A. How rising gas prices will affect power grids.
B. Which countries may face higher energy bills.
C. What should be included in clean energy strategies.
D. Whether carbon cuts are linked to varying power prices.
29. What does the underlined word “intermittent” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Faulty. B. Costly. C. Unstable. D. Inefficient.
30. Why is natural gas still needed in high-renewable-energy systems?
A. It helps lower energy costs. B. It can quickly fill gaps in supply.
C. It ensures consistent market prices. D. It is a key driver of energy innovation.
31. What might be an ideal combination of power sources?
A. Solar and gas. B. Nuclear and gas. C. Solar and wind. D. Nuclear and wind.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出电网中大量使用风能和太阳能的国家因天然气价格上涨面临能源账单增加问题,分析了原因并提出解决办法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The relationship between decarbonisation and swings in prices has been a controversial (有争议的) issue as governments consider clean energy strategies, but an analysis of power prices has now provided evidence to inform the debate.(在各国政府考虑清洁能源战略时,脱碳与价格波动之间的关系一直是一个有争议的问题,但对电价的分析现在为这场辩论提供了依据)”可知,有争议的问题是脱碳是否与波动的电价有关。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.(近年来,欧洲各地引进了大量的风能和太阳能发电能力,但这些能源是……,只有在有风或天空无云时才能发电)”可知,风能和太阳能只有在特定条件下才能发电,说明这两种能源是不稳定的。所以划线词“intermittent”的意思是“不稳定的”,与C项“Unstable”同义。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gas power plants, which can be switched on and off relatively easily, are frequently relied on to provide power when renewable generation is low.(燃气发电厂的开启和关闭相对容易,在可再生能源发电量较低时,人们经常依靠它们来供电)”可知,在高可再生能源系统中仍然需要天然气是因为它可以迅速填补供应缺口。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.(近年来,欧洲各地已经引进了大量的风能和太阳能发电能力,但这些能源是间歇性的,只有在刮风或天空无云的时候才会发电)”和第五段中“It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo Buenestado points out that other nations with low carbon power grids, such as Norway and France, rely on hydropower and nuclear technology, which are reliable generators.(除了风能和太阳能之外,对灵活发电的需求才是问题所在。巴霍-布埃内斯泰多指出,其他拥有低碳电网的国家,如挪威和法国,依靠的是水电和核技术,它们是可靠的发电方式)”可知,风能和太阳能两种能源是不稳定的,而水电和核电是稳定的。所以,结合选项,核电(稳定)与风电(可再生)的组合是理想模式。故选D项。
D
In cultures worldwide, toys have been used to teach children about the society they live in. Recent research reveals that giving the wrong toys may have contributed to the downfall of the Norse settlers who came to Greenland from Iceland.
Arriving in 985, the Norse thrived for a few centuries but was forced to abandon Greenland by 1400. In contrast, the Inuit people, arriving around 1000, endured long after the Norse left. This difference has puzzled archaeologists for decades. One idea was that the Norse did not eat more seafood when farming conditions worsened. But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why.
To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture. The Norse settlements yielded 72. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397. The researchers then assigned each toy to one of five categories, including toys of weapons, tools, forms of transport, for social play and for skill play. They also determined approximate times for when the toys were made.
The categorisation process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time.
As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds. In essence, say the researchers, the Norse were adapting their lives to their new environment but continuing to gift old-fashioned toys.
Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one.
32. What did the toy study aim to further investigate?
A. The Norse’s dietary change. B. The Norse’s failure to endure.
C. The Inuits’ fishing advantage. D. The Inuits’ success in farming.
33. What was a major advantage that Inuit toys had over Norse toys?
A. Safety. B. Diversity. C. Interactivity. D. Portability.
34. What lesson can modern parents draw from the study?
A Provide a wide range of play opportunities. B. Emphasize toys that promote imagination.
C. Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D. Encourage cooperative role-playing games.
35. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the text?
A. Survival is a case of child’s play. B. Sticking to cultural essence is vital.
C. Innovation comes naturally over time. D. Cultural adaptation relies on children.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过对比格陵兰岛挪威定居者与因纽特人定居者的玩具差异,揭示玩具在种族生存中的关键作用。挪威人因固守传统玩具而失败,因纽特人则通过实用玩具培养生存技能,最终成功适应环境,为现代父母提供启示。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why.(考古学家一致认为,因纽特人成功地适应了,而挪威人没有,但没有人知道为什么。)”和第三段中“To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture.(为了回答这个问题,研究人员尽可能多地研究了这两种文化的孩子曾经玩过的玩具。)”可知,这个对玩具的研究旨在进一步调查挪威人未能适应环境而持续存在的原因。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The categorisation process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time.(分类过程表明,因纽特儿童不仅有更多的玩具可供选择,而且这些玩具也更多样化。最重要的是,人们发现玩具数量和多样性的差异随着时间的推移而急剧增加。)”和第五段中“As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds.(随着时间的流逝,与海上狩猎有关的玩具在因纽特人中变得越来越普遍,但挪威人继续给他们的孩子们马和鸟的雕像。)”可知,因纽特玩具相对于北欧玩具的主要优势是具有多样性。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one.(尽管缺乏玩具可能表明挪威社会从一开始就缺乏创造力,但研究人员认为,他们倾向于给无关的玩具,这加剧了最初缺乏创造力的情况,最终降低了他们的生存机会。相比之下,因纽特人对多样化和相关玩具的偏好为他们的孩子更具创新性和适应性铺平了道路。这是给父母们上的一课。)”可知,因纽特玩具的实用性帮助儿童适应环境,挪威玩具因脱离实际,因循守旧导致失败,现代父母能从这项研究中学到的是给孩子选择能培养现实技能的玩具。故选C项。
【35题详解】

A lesson for parents if ever there was one.(尽管缺乏玩具可能表明挪威社会从一开始就缺乏创造力,但研究人员认为,他们倾向于给无关的玩具,这加剧了最初缺乏创造力的情况,最终降低了他们的生存机会。相比之下,因纽特人对多样化和相关玩具的偏好为他们的孩子更具创新性和适应性铺平了道路。这是给父母们上的一课。)”可知,文章研究了玩具对文化适应和生存的影响,揭示“玩具功能性”对社会存续的决定性作用。A项以文学化表达精准概括这一主旨,既呼应引言玩具是儿童社会化的工具,错误的玩具可能导致灾难,又强化结论的警示意义,给父母关于选玩具的启示。故选A项。

Orienteering: My Life-long Passion
Orienteering is a timed event across a mostly natural landscape, where participants navigate through a series of checkpoints along the way. The route from one checkpoint to the next isn’t marked. ___36___ Beyond mere exercise, orienteering builds physical endurance and mental sharpness, with each move requiring split-second judgement.
At the age of ten my family moved to a new town and I changed to a new school. In my new class there was an orienteer and I joined him in the practices. Now 50 years later, I still do orienteering!
I have always enjoyed nature. Growing up in a village on the forest’s edge, I spent my childhood in nature, playing, walking, and skiing. ___37___
When I started with orienteering, I was the first in our family. But soon afterwards my parents realized that instead of just driving me to the practices and competitions, they could just as well participate themselves. We have always been out walking in the forest, but their participation opened up a new dimension. ___38___ With a lot of discussions driving to the competitions, about anything, and the analysis after the race, our family bonds grew stronger.
___39___ In most cases the competitions are in new areas where I have never been and would never go to otherwise, each offering unique landscapes to explore.
But maybe the best part is that each race is a new challenge. No one runs the same course twice, so each time there are new challenges. Orienteering is for life. ___40___
A. Nature offers countless things for us to explore.
B. The event also requires accurate map-reading skills.
C. I hope I will be able to continue for many years to come.
D. Each participant decides the best route on the run or walk.
E. I think that orienteering is a perfect activity for the family.
F. I also appreciate how orienteering connects us to different places.
G. Such experiences laid the foundation for my love of outdoor activities.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jason held his script too tightly, making the pages wrinkle. His palms had left damp marks on his Of Mice and Men script. Across the rehearsal (排练) room, Liam was doing his usual annoying trick — balancing a pencil on his nose during rehearsals — for the third time this week.
Last year, they were great partners when they acted in The Outsiders together. Their rooftop “Stay gold” scene even got featured in the school newsletter. But now, everything changed.
The trouble started during rehearsals. Jason insisted on following the book’s exact gestures. But Liam kept adding new moves — hugging an invisible puppy during serious lines, pretending to trip over “rabbits”.
“Lennie wouldn’t do that!” Jason whispered angrily after a rehearsal.
“At least my Lennie wouldn’t sound like a human tape recorder,” Liam snapped back.
Their fight grew bigger every day Liam put vinegar in Jason’s water bottle. Jason “accidentally” locked Liam’s favorite script in the storage room. Their teacher even put up a sign saying “NO MOREFOOD FIGHTS” after they threw ketchup packets at each other.
The exploding moment came during their final practice. During the barn scene, Liam suddenly howled like a wolf. The younger students laughed loudly. Jason was so mad that he ran off the stage — and crashed right into the wooden chairs, breaking three of them.
That night, Jason couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about how Liam used to gently push his shoulder before scary scenes to encourage him. At 1 AM, he got on his bike and rode back to school.
The storage room light was on. Inside, Liam was sitting on the floor, trying to fix the broken chairs. Next to him was a chocolate bar — the kind Jason always ate.
Jason froze, his eyes wide with a mix of astonishment and guilt when he realized it was the chairs he had kicked and broken. “Liam... I... I didn’t think I’d see you here fixing these,” Jason stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Liam kept his head low, “Yeah, well, someone had to. The show is next week.”
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。
Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails. Clang! The first strike missed completely. “Let me,” Liam muttered, steadying Jason’s hand. With Liam guiding him, Jason lifted the hammer again. Bang! The nail sank deep into the chair leg. As they worked side by side, Liam nudged Jason, “Your book-accurate Lennie is solid. But my twists... they add spark.” Jason nodded, hammering a nail with more ease. “Why not mix them up? We’ll nail the show.” Their eyes met, and they shared a grin, the hammering growing faster and more in sync. When Liam pulled out a smashed chocolate bar, Jason took half without a word. “Still partners?” Liam asked, shaking crumbs from his hair. “Only if you stop eating my snacks,” Jason replied, flicking a chocolate chip at him.
On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage. Jason delivered his lines with the precise gestures of a true book purist, while Liam added his signature quirks at just the right moments, making the audience burst into laughter. In the final scene, their emotional acting brought the characters vividly to life, leaving the audience wide-eyed. As the curtain fell, thunderous applause filled the hall. Their teacher rushed onto the stage, showering them with praise. Liam happily clipped the prop hammer to Jason’s tool belt. Jason nodded, his eyes shining with anticipation for future shows. Under the twinkling stars, they walked home together, the hammer a precious reminder of their accomplishment and friendship.

During daily breaks from the world’s many dramas, I encountered another: The blue jay (松鸦) in my backyard is a ladies’ man.
Each day, he lands on the bird feeder and fills up on seeds and nuts, which makes him a good provider — an attractive mating advantage for birds that typically stay with one partner. He dutifully delivers food from my place to his home in a tree across the street. Then I noticed him paying regular calls to the row of oaks (橡树) a few doors down, his mouth full and his feathers a bright blue. I assumed he was visiting a second mate.
My wife was with me once when the jay took his love nest detour (绕路), and I pointed out what he was up to. My wife’s response was Socratic: “How do you know where that bird goes?” Based on the research, bird experts would ask the same question and argue that jays are actually no-nonsense birds. Smart, fierce and loyal. They are also industrious, stockpiling food in secret locations for later.
After considering my wife’s question, I realized that I might’ve been too quick to judge the jay. Further evidence soon arrived. After some blackbirds stuffed themselves at the feeder, making quick work of the seeds, I left it bare for several days to keep them away. Noticing the empty tray, the blue jay dashed into a nearby tree and pulled out a hidden peanut from the bark.
These birds don’t just store food; they build reserves. So after finishing the peanut, off he flew into the row of oaks — and emerged to head directly across the street to his home. It was all suddenly clear: That jay didn’t have a love nest. He had a nest egg, a little something put away in a few nearby trees to feed his family when food ran low.
Next time I encounter another one of the world’s dramas, I won’t be too quick to judge.
24. What did the author assume about the jay’s taking a detour?
A. It was building a new nest. B. It was guarding its territory.
C. It was attracted to some food. D. It was involved in a secret affair.
25. What caused the author to rethink his assumption about the jay?
A. A question from his wife. B. A research study on blue jays.
C. A sudden change in the jay’s behavior. D. A conversation with other bird experts.
26. Why did the jay make the detour?
A. To create a backup food source. B. To seek extra food for his family.
C. To build a shelter in a nearby tree. D. To take a brief rest during his flight.
27. What is the best title for this text?
A. A Bird-watcher’s Inspiring Tour B. What a Charmer: A Jay’s Love Story
C. The Feeder Drama: Who Ate the Seeds? D. The Mysterious Ladies’ Man in My Backyard

Nations with large amounts of wind and solar in their power grids (电网) are particularly exposed to rising energy bills due to sharp increases in the gas price. The relationship between decarbonisation and swings in prices has been a controversial (有争议的) issue as governments consider clean energy strategies, but an analysis of power prices has now provided evidence to inform the debate.
Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.
Gas power plants, which can be switched on and off relatively easily, are frequently relied on to provide power when renewable generation is low. But gas is often the most expensive source of power, and electricity market rules mean the most expensive generator sets the price for the entire market.
Raúl Bajo-Buenestado at the University of Navarra and his colleagues found nations with more wind and solar in their power systems were more vulnerable (易受影响) to natural gas price shocks. Spain, for example, has large volumes of solar power and is particularly sensitive to power price changes. “If you have natural gas, wind and solar, this is going to make the perfect cocktail for you to be vulnerable,” says Bajo-Buenestado.
It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo-Buenestado points out that other nations with low-carbon power grids, such as Norway and France, rely on hydropower and nuclear technology, which are reliable generators. “We don’t see a clear correlation between decarbonisation and sensitivity to natural gas price changes,” he says.
Solving the problem will require nations to replace gas as the back-up fuel of choice. One answer is for grid operators to push the power system to become better able to absorb peaks and valleys in generation. “The underlying message is that getting a flexible system is now as important as building renewables,” says Michael Grubb at University College London.
28. What does the controversial issue in the first paragraph refer to?
A. How rising gas prices will affect power grids.
B. Which countries may face higher energy bills.
C. What should be included in clean energy strategies.
D. Whether carbon cuts are linked to varying power prices.
29. What does the underlined word “intermittent” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Faulty. B. Costly. C. Unstable. D. Inefficient.
30. Why is natural gas still needed in high-renewable-energy systems?
A. It helps lower energy costs. B. It can quickly fill gaps in supply.
C. It ensures consistent market prices. D. It is a key driver of energy innovation.
31. What might be an ideal combination of power sources?
A. Solar and gas. B. Nuclear and gas. C. Solar and wind. D. Nuclear and wind.

In cultures worldwide, toys have been used to teach children about the society they live in. Recent research reveals that giving the wrong toys may have contributed to the downfall of the Norse settlers who came to Greenland from Iceland.
Arriving in 985, the Norse thrived for a few centuries but was forced to abandon Greenland by 1400. In contrast, the Inuit people, arriving around 1000, endured long after the Norse left. This difference has puzzled archaeologists for decades. One idea was that the Norse did not eat more seafood when farming conditions worsened. But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why.
To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture. The Norse settlements yielded 72. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397. The researchers then assigned each toy to one of five categories, including toys of weapons, tools, forms of transport, for social play and for skill play. They also determined approximate times for when the toys were made.
The categorisation process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time.
As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds. In essence, say the researchers, the Norse were adapting their lives to their new environment but continuing to gift old-fashioned toys.
Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one.
32. What did the toy study aim to further investigate?
A. The Norse’s dietary change. B. The Norse’s failure to endure.
C. The Inuits’ fishing advantage. D. The Inuits’ success in farming.
33. What was a major advantage that Inuit toys had over Norse toys?
A. Safety. B. Diversity. C. Interactivity. D. Portability.
34. What lesson can modern parents draw from the study?
A. Provide a wide range of play opportunities. B. Emphasize toys that promote imagination.
C. Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D. Encourage cooperative role-playing games.
35. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the text?
A. Survival is a case of child’s play. B. Sticking to cultural essence is vital.
C. Innovation comes naturally over time. D. Cultural adaptation relies on children.

Orienteering: My Life-long Passion
Orienteering is a timed event across a mostly natural landscape, where participants navigate through a series of checkpoints along the way. The route from one checkpoint to the next isn’t marked. ___36___ Beyond mere exercise, orienteering builds physical endurance and mental sharpness, with each move requiring split-second judgement.

When I started with orienteering, I was the first in our family.

___39___ In most cases the competitions are in new areas where I have never been and would never go to otherwise, each offering unique landscapes to explore.

A. Nature offers countless things for us to explore.
B. The event also requires accurate map-reading skills.
C. I hope I will be able to continue for many years to come.
D. Each participant decides the best route on the run or walk.

Jason held his script too tightly, making the pages wrinkle. His palms had left damp marks on his Of Mice and Men script. Across the rehearsal (排练) room, Liam was doing his usual annoying trick — balancing a pencil on his nose during rehearsals — for the third time this week.
Last year, they were great partners when they acted in The Outsiders together. Their rooftop “Stay gold” scene even got featured in the school newsletter. But now, everything changed.
The trouble started during rehearsals. Jason insisted on following the book’s exact gestures. But Liam kept adding new moves — hugging an invisible puppy during serious lines, pretending to trip over “rabbits”.
“Lennie wouldn’t do that!” Jason whispered angrily after a rehearsal.
“At least my Lennie wouldn’t sound like a human tape recorder,” Liam snapped back.
Their fight grew bigger every day. Liam put vinegar in Jason’s water bottle. Jason “accidentally” locked Liam’s favorite script in the storage room. Their teacher even put up a sign saying “NO MOREFOOD FIGHTS” after they threw ketchup packets at each other.
The exploding moment came during their final practice. During the barn scene Liam suddenly howled like a wolf. The younger students laughed loudly. Jason was so mad that he ran off the stage — and crashed right into the wooden chairs, breaking three of them.
That night, Jason couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about how Liam used to gently push his shoulder before scary scenes to encourage him. At 1 AM, he got on his bike and rode back to school.
The storage room light was on. Inside, Liam was sitting on the floor, trying to fix the broken chairs. Next to him was a chocolate bar — the kind Jason always ate.
Jason froze, his eyes wide with a mix of astonishment and guilt when he realized it was the chairs he had kicked and broken. “Liam... I... I didn’t think I’d see you here fixing these,” Jason stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Liam kept his head low, “Yeah, well, someone had to. The show is next week.”
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。
Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails.

As part of this series of lectures on the development of early humans today, we are looking at rock art. Rockets is found all over the world.
