Usually considered a friendly animal, many believe the sea lion went crazy because of algae (海藻). There is a toxin (毒素) in a harmful algae. According to the US National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries), more than 100 calls are made every day reporting sea lions and dolphins influenced by this toxin. John Warner, CEO of the Marine Mammal Care Center in Los Angeles, told the BBC that these animals don’t really attack people. “These animals do that because they are sick,” he said. For example, when sea lions are affected by the toxin, they often appear very tired and confused (混乱的). They might even get angry, reported The Guardian. The harmful algae grows fast when deep ocean water moves up to the surface. This brings nutrients (营养) that help the algae grow. Fish eat the algae and get the toxin, and when dolphins and sea lions eat those fish, they get sick. However, according to NOAA Fisheries, the harmful algae showed up earlier than usual .The outbreaks (爆发) also happen more often and are harder to see coming. This is because of climate change, noted The Guardian. Warmer weather and changing ocean conditions make it easier for the algae to grow. Moreover, some scientists also think wildfires in Los Angeles might play a role. Large wildfires have caused the ocean near the beach to have more nutrients. 5. Why does the text begin with the girl’s story? A. To raise the topic. B. To give us a lesson. C. To report the news. D. To make us afraid. 6. According to Paragraph 3, the sea lions attack people because of ________. A. loneliness B. sadness C. illness D. tiredness 7. How do dolphins and sea lions get the toxin according to Paragraph 4? A. By hurting the girl. B. By eating toxic fish. C. By touching algae. D. By drinking toxic water. 8. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The effect of warmer weather. B. The harm of the algae outbreaks. C. The results of large wildfires. D. The reasons for the algae outbreaks. 【答案】5. A 6. C 7. B 8.

The Nazca people, who lived there more than 2,000 years ago, made these drawings. They created these lines by removing the top layer (层) of rocks. These drawings are called “geography (地面)”. They show many different shapes and pictures, including animals and plants. They were often drawn with a single long line. Many of the lines are so long that they can only be seen clearly from high up in the sky. The largest geography line is about 1,200 feet (366 meters) in length. The geography were first discovered in 1927. Since then, scientists have found about 430 of them in the area. Recently, with the help of Artificial intelligence (AI) and drones (无人机), researchers found 303 more geography in just six months. To find the new geography, scientists trained a special AI program to study satellite images (卫星图像) and discover possible geography. They spent over 2,600 hours checking places suggested by the AI and took lots of pictures with drones. The AI made a lot of mistakes, but it helped find geography much faster than before. Johnny, who studies the Nazca lines for the country of Peru, said, “What used to take three or four years can now be done in two or three days.” The researchers are still trying to understand what these geography mean. They think the way the smaller geography are grouped may be the key to understanding them. They also believe that the larger geography might have been used for special ceremonies or events. 9. How did the Nazca people create the Nazca lines? A. By using red stones to make marks. B. By using sharp knives to cut rocks. C. By painting them with colorful sand. D. By cleaning away the top layer of rocks. 10. Many of the Nazca lines can only be seen clearly from high up in the sky because ________. A. they are of great length B. they have different colors C. they are covered by plants D. they are dangerous to touch 11. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Drones. B. Scientists. C. AI programs. D. Satellite images. 12. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Knowing about deserts. B. Learning more about AI. C. Studying ancient shapes. D. Visiting the country of Peru. 【答案】9. D 10. A 11. B 12.

What do you think of it? Yes Some people think this lifestyle is bad because it doesn’t think about the future. But I see it in a positive (积极的) way. It shows that people choose to enjoy life and stay happy, even when things aren’t going very well. Young people today believe that living in the present is more important. Doing small things like drinking milk tea after a test or watching funny videos can help them feel better. These moments of joy help them face new challenges. I think it’s important to accept and support this kind of positive lifestyle. Isn’t finding light in the darkness a form of wisdom (智慧)? Sheng Slen,14 No I think it’s not good to live this kind of lifestyle. First, short-lived happiness may stop us from working hard. When we spend too much time playing games or shopping, we might fall behind our classmates, who are working to improve themselves. Second, avoiding challenges can make it hard to face difficult situations in the future. If we only do what makes us happy, it may be hard to achieve anything meaningful. Instead of chasing short-lived happiness, we should learn from older people to work hard, set long-term goals and make plans for the future. We need to face difficulties with courage and take on the responsibilities that come with being a young person today. Wang Yunqing,15 13. What does the text talk about? A. Dream. B. Challenge. C. Lifestyle. D. Responsibility. 14. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence? A It’s wise to enjoy the moment. B. It’s wrong to enjoy the moment. C. It’s wise to hang lights in the dark. D. It’s wrong to hang lights in the dark. 15. What’s Wang Yunqing’s attitude (态度) to challenges? A. They’re useless. B. These’re harmful. C. They’re necessary. D. They’re unnecessary. 16. Which of the following thing might be done by Wang Yunqing? A. Playing games all day. B. Buying an expensive bag. C. Developing new skills. D. Living in a five-star hotel. 【答案】13. C 14. A 15. C 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过正反双方观点，探讨年轻人“没福硬享”生活方式（如超出预算追求即时快乐）的利弊，反映对当下享乐主义与长远规划的价值观碰撞。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕年轻人“没福硬享”的生活方式展开正反观点辩论，核心讨论生活方式的合理性，故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。划线句“Isn’t finding light in the darkness a form of wisdom?”意为“在黑暗中寻找光明不正是智慧的表现吗？”，对应享受当下的积极态度，故选A。 【15题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Instead of chasing short-lived happiness... face difficulties with courage”可知，Wang认为应勇敢面对挑战，视其为必要，故选C。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。结合反方观点可知，Wang主张努力和长期目标，选项C“学习新技能”符合其观点，故选C。 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，共中有一个多余选项。 From red apples and yellow lemons to blueberries and green melons, fruit comes in many different colors. ____17____ According to Lu Wei from the Chinese Academy of Science, fruit colors actually come from their different pigments (色素), such as red or yellow carotenoid (类胡萝卜素) and blue or purple another again (花青素). These pigments appear in different amounts, depending on fruit’s environment. This causes the fruit to turn a certain color. To find out how the environment affects fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors, including white, red, blue, purple and black. They found that red fruits grow in cooler places. Instead of just growing in one place, you can find them growing in many places around the world. While blue and purple fruits mostly grow in warm places. ____18____ The scientists also found that the closer the fruit is to the equator (赤道), the darker its color will be. Animals have also had an effect on fruit colors. Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds in other places later. ____19____ Therefore, in order to attract animals, fruit develops colors that are easy for animals to see. ____20____ Fruit needs to develop colors that are sited to the animals. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. Therefore, there are more red fruits in the areas where birds live. A. However, animals see colors in a different way. B. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. C. However, a darker color doesn’t mean a better kind of fruit. D. These fruits grow a lot in just one specific (特定) area. E. Why do different kinds of fruits have so many colors? 【答案】17. E 18. D 19. B 20.

B “Please don’t kill me.” This is what a girl said recently when she was hurt by a sea lion in California, US. Usually considered a friendly animal, many believe the sea lion went crazy because of algae (海藻). There is a toxin (毒素) in a harmful algae. According to the US National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries), more than 100 calls are made every day reporting sea lions and dolphins influenced by this toxin. John Warner, CEO of the Marine Mammal Care Center in Los Angeles, told the BBC that these animals don’t really attack people. “These animals do that because they are sick,” he said. For example, when sea lions are affected by the toxin, they often appear very tired and confused (混乱的). They might even get angry, reported The Guardian. The harmful algae grows fast when deep ocean water moves up to the surface. This brings nutrients (营养) that help the algae grow. Fish eat the algae and get the toxin, and when dolphins and sea lions eat those fish, they get sick. However, according to NOAA Fisheries, the harmful algae showed up earlier than usual .The outbreaks (爆发) also happen more often and are harder to see coming. This is because of climate change, noted The Guardian. Warmer weather and changing ocean conditions make it easier for the algae to grow. Moreover, some scientists also think wildfires in Los Angeles might play a role. Large wildfires have caused the ocean near the beach to have more nutrients. 5. Why does the text begin with the girl’s story? A. To raise the topic. B. To give us a lesson. C. To report the news. D. To make us afraid. 6. According to Paragraph 3, the sea lions attack people because of ________. A. loneliness B. sadness C. illness D. tiredness 7. How do dolphins and sea lions get the toxin according to Paragraph 4? A. By hurting the girl. B. By eating toxic fish. C. By touching algae. D. By drinking toxic water. 8. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The effect of warmer weather. B. The harm of the algae outbreaks. C. The results of large wildfires. D. The reasons for the algae outbreaks. C The Nazca lines (纳斯卡线) are a group of famous huge ancient drawings found in southern Peru’s desert, the Nazca Desert. The Nazca people, who lived there more than 2,000 years ago, made these drawings. They created these lines by removing the top layer (层) of rocks. These drawings are called “geography (地面)”. They show many different shapes and pictures, including animals and plants. They were often drawn with a single long line. Many of the lines are so long that they can only be seen clearly from high up in the sky. The largest geography line is about 1,200 feet (366 meters) in length. The geography were first discovered in 1927. Since then, scientists have found about 430 of them in the area. Recently, with the help of Artificial intelligence (AI) and drones (无人机), researchers found 303 more geography in just six months. To find the new geography, scientists trained a special AI program to study satellite images (卫星图像) and discover possible geography. They spent over 2,600 hours checking places suggested by the AI and took lots of pictures with drones. The AI made a lot of mistakes, but it helped find geography much faster than before. Johnny, who studies the Nazca lines for the country of Peru, said, “What used to take three or four years can now be done in two or three days.” The researchers are still trying to understand what these geography mean. They think the way the smaller geography are grouped may be the key to understanding them. They also believe that the larger geography might have been used for special ceremonies or events. 9. How did the Nazca people create the Nazca lines? A. By using red stones to make marks. B. By using sharp knives to cut rocks. C. By painting them with colorful sand. D. By cleaning away the top layer of rocks. 10. Many of the Nazca lines can only be seen clearly from high up in the sky because ________. A. they are of great length B. they have different colors C. they are covered by plants D. they are dangerous to touch 11. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Drones. B. Scientists. C. AI programs. D. Satellite images. 12. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Knowing about deserts. B. Learning more about AI. C. Studying ancient shapes. D. Visiting the country of Peru. D Nowadays, some young people like to treat themselves in a way that goes beyond the budget (“没福硬享”), such as having a very expensive dinner to make themselves feel good. What do you think of it? Yes Some people think this lifestyle is bad because it doesn’t think about the future. But I see it in a positive (积极的) way. It shows that people choose to enjoy life and stay happy, even when things aren’t going very well. Young people today believe that living in the present is more important. Doing small things like drinking milk tea after a test or watching funny videos can help them feel better. These moments of joy help them face new challenges. I think it’s important to accept and support this kind of positive lifestyle Isn’t finding light in the darkness a form of wisdom (智慧)? Sheng Slen,14 No I think it’s not good to live this kind of lifestyle. First, short-lived happiness may stop us from working hard. When we spend too much time playing games or shopping, we might fall behind our classmates, who are working to improve themselves. Second, avoiding challenges can make it hard to face difficult situations in the future. If we only do what makes us happy, it may be hard to achieve anything meaningful. Instead of chasing short-lived happiness, we should learn from older people to work hard, set long-term goals and make plans for the future. We need to face difficulties with courage and take on the responsibilities that come with being a young person today. Wang Yunqing,15 13. What does the text talk about? A. Dream. B. Challenge. C.

For 13-year-old Zhang Keyi, her favorite is the knife-especially the Internet (柳叶刀). A connect is usually used in a special skill called “Chinese knife throwing”. This move is known as a type of snack attack (偷袭) in. Chinese martial arts. Because it is quick and silent, many Chinese people like it.
