I’m your host Sam Cotter. Have you ever imagined farming without soil? Hydroponics lets plants grow in special water with nutrition, like giving them a fast-food meal through their roots. Here’s why it’s awesome. First is the super speedy plants grow 30 to 50% faster, because roots grab food easily. No digging in soil, then it can save water. So it is perfect for dry areas, because water can be recycled. At last, there are fewer insects compared with plants in soil. Do you know the application of this technology? For example, NASA grows space vegetables for astronauts, also Dutch greenhouses produce 60 kilograms tomatoes per square meter yearly, enough for 120 hamburgers. Hydroponics can feed cities, grow food in deserts and reduce pollution. It’s not just farming, it’s science in action. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Discover the New Horizon Art Exhibition Hall Step into a world where modern literature and visual art come together at the New Horizon Art Exhibition Hall, now open to the public.

On June 18,2023, the private submersible(潜水船)Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic, which is about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. The dive was expected to take a few hours and reach a depth of more than 12,000 feet. But 105minutes after the Titan went down below the waves, it lost contact. The U. S. and Canadian Coast Guards and the U. S. Navy were called in for a desperate search to rescue the passengers, only to discover the Titan had collapsed inward with no survivors. The disaster dominated global news for weeks, touching off debates: Are human-led deep-sea missions worth their risks and costs? On social media, some expressed sympathy, while others opposed the effort. Critics labeled the passengers “risk-takers” or “senseless,” and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned victims in the Aegean Sea. The obloquy continues today—I’ve been targeted myself. For a decade, I’ve supported undersea exploration, arguing its importance. Critics object that remotely operated machines make human missions unnecessary. Why dive deep when we can study hidden secrets in high-definition from safe offices? Yet I defend humanity’s drive to explore—the hands-on, unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across oceans. Without such exploration, scientists can’t confirm theories; nor can journalists share real stories. Through many attempts and mistakes, I’ve learned: To truly describe a subject, you must encounter it. Discovery requires being present. The path to knowledge is challenging, filled with setbacks and failures. It’s costly and often unrewarding, but that’s exactly why it matters. Trying various approaches—even following uncertain clues—is crucial to discovery. We lose something vital if we abandon the courage to go deep. 24. What was the initial purpose of the Titan’s mission? A. To test an underwater vehicle. B. To study undersea creatures. C. To rescue Aegean Sea victims. D. To observe the ruins of a ship. 25. What does the underlined word “obloquy” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The occurrence of drowning. B. The criticism from the society. C. The debate among journalists. D. The focus on wealthy explorers. 26. How does the author defend the value of deep-sea exploration? A. By quoting famous scientists. B. By listing undersea discoveries. C. By weighing the risks and significance. D. By emphasizing its economic benefits. 27. What is essential for discovery according to the author? A. Media coverage. B. Pure imagination. C. Secured environment. D. Direct involvement. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。2023 年 6 月 18 日，“泰坦” 号私人潜水船在前往查看泰坦尼克号残骸途中失联并导致乘客无一生还，这一灾难引发了关于人类主导的深海任务是否值得冒险和付出成本的辩论。作者认为尽管深海探索充满风险、代价高昂且可能没有回报，但通过权衡其风险与意义，肯定了人类探索的价值，强调亲身参与对于发现是至关重要的。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On June 18, 2023, the private submersible (潜水船) Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic (2023 年 6 月 18 日，泰坦号私人潜水船搭载五人执行查看泰坦尼克号残骸的任务)” 可知，“泰坦” 号此次任务的最初目的是查看一艘船（泰坦尼克号）的残骸。故选D。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Critics labeled the passengers “risk-takers” or “senseless,” and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned victims in the Aegean Sea. The obloquy  continues today—I’ve been targeted myself.(批评者称乘客为“冒险者”或“没头脑的人”，记者们强烈批评媒体将焦点放在富有的探险者身上，而不是爱琴海中 700 名溺水遇难者。这种…… 今天仍在继续，我自己也成为了目标)” 可知，前文讲述了社会各界的批评，所以 “obloquy” 指的是社会的批评。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Yet I defend humanity’s drive to explore—the hands-on, unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across oceans. Without such exploration, scientists can’t confirm theories; nor can journalists share real stories. (然而，我捍卫人类探索的动力 —— 这种亲身实践、不可预测的追求让我们登上月球、跨越海洋。没有这样的探索，科学家无法证实种种理论；记者也无法分享真实的故事）”以及最后一段“The path to knowledge is challenging, filled with setbacks and failures. It’s costly and often unrewarding, but that’s exactly why it matters.(通往知识的道路充满挑战，挫折与失败并存。它代价高昂且常常没有回报，但这正是它重要的原因)” 可知，作者通过权衡深海探索的风险和其对科学家、记者等的重要意义来为其价值辩护。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Through many attempts and mistakes, I’ve learned: To truly describe a subject, you must encounter it. Discovery requires being present.(通过多次尝试和错误，我明白了：要真正描述一个事物，你必须亲身经历它。发现需要身临其境)” 可知，作者认为对于发现来说，直接参与是至关重要的。故选D。 C Cutting carbon emissions(排放)is not enough to keep global warming to less than 1.5℃—the goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. Not anymore, at least. As a result, hundreds of start-ups trying to remove greenhouse gases from the air and water have sprung up within the past few years. While land-based carbon dioxide removal projects have been undergoing testing and development for decades, ocean-based carbon removal is more recent in the push to fight against climate change. And one of the leaders in that field—Equatic—is about to increase its efforts in a big way. What began three years ago as a US Department of Energy-funded research project out of the University of California Los Angeles has already grown into a pair of pilot projects in Los Angeles and Singapore. And now, the company has its sights set on building a massive marine carbon capture(海洋碳捕获)facility in Quebec. The process for capturing carbon begins by pumping seawater into a tank and then using an electrical current to break down the water into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) gases and a solution, which is then reacted with the air, pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and chemically transforming it into two byproducts. One, calcium carbonate, is a white powder. The other is a solution that gets released back into the ocean. The proposed Quebec plant differs significantly from Equatic’s existing facilities. Its Singaporean pilot facility can process 4,000 tonnes of carbon each year. The planned Quebec facility, meanwhile, will be capable of processing 110,000 tonnes annually—about as much carbon as is emitted by 24,000 cars. Ultimately, though, the young industry is full of uncertainties. So far, research on marine carbon removal has been based on lab experiments and trials. So as Equatic’s planned Quebec plant moves ahead, scientists will be watching to learn more about its environmental impact and about just how effective marine carbon dioxide removal can really be. 28. What can we know about Equatic from the first two paragraphs? A. It started as a university research project. B. It is a land-based carbon removal project. C. It has undergone tests for decades. D. It is a start-up located in Quebec. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Environmental impacts of carbon removal. B Comparative analysis of removal methods. C. Economic advantages of Quebec facility. D. Equatic’s carbon capture mechanism. 30. What sets the proposed Quebec plant apart? A. Its location. B. Its capacity. C. Its priority. D. Its partnership. 31. What is the author’s perspective on marine carbon removal? A. It’s energy-intensive. B. It’s a permanent fix. C. It’s down-to-the-ground. D. It’s an open question. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了为应对气候变化，一些致力于从空气和水中去除温室气体的初创企业涌现，其中 Equatic 在海洋碳捕获领域较为领先。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What began three years ago as a US Department of Energy - funded research project out of the University of California Los Angeles has already grown into a pair of pilot projects in Los Angeles and Singapore.(三年前，它作为美国能源部资助的、由加州大学洛杉矶分校开展的研究项目起步，如今已发展为在洛杉矶和新加坡的两个试点项目)” 可知，Equatic 最初是一个大学研究项目。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The process for capturing carbon begins by pumping seawater into a tank and then using an electrical current to break down the water into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) gases and a solution, which is then reacted with the air, pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and chemically transforming it into two byproducts.(碳捕获过程始于将海水泵入水箱，然后使用电流将水分解为氧气（O2）和氢气（H2）以及一种溶液，然后该溶液与空气发生反应，从大气中提取二氧化碳，并通过化学反应将其转化为两种副产品)”可知，第三段详细介绍了 Equatic 捕获碳的具体步骤和机制。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The proposed Quebec plant differs significantly from Equatic’s existing facilities. Its Singaporean pilot facility can process 4,000 tonnes of carbon each year. The planned Quebec facility, meanwhile, will be capable of processing 110,000 tonnes annually(拟建中的魁北克工厂与 Equatic 现有的设施有很大不同。其新加坡试点设施每年可以处理 4000 吨碳。与此同时，计划中的魁北克设施每年将能够处理 11 万吨碳)” 可知，魁北克工厂的独特之处在于其处理碳的能力。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, though, the young industry is full of uncertainties. So far, research on marine carbon removal has been based on lab experiments and trials. So as Equatic’s planned Quebec plant moves ahead, scientists will be watching to learn more about its environmental impact and about just how effective marine carbon dioxide removal can really be.(然而，最终，这个新兴行业充满了不确定性。到目前为止，海洋碳去除的研究一直基于实验室实验和试验。因此，随着 Equatic 计划中的魁北克工厂推进，科学家们将密切关注，以更多地了解其环境影响以及海洋二氧化碳去除的实际效果究竟如何)” 可推断，作者认为海洋碳去除仍是一个有待进一步研究的开放性问题。故选D。 D Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it. Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted. A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”. Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain. A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology. 32. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1? A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people. C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects. 33. Which is one of the main findings of the research? A. Less ability to compare themselves to others. B. Worse control over emotions. C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement. D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions. 34. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______. A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants. C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements. 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear? B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm? C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year? D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain? 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天津师范大学关于短视频对大脑影响的研究，指出其虽有相关发现但存在局限性，最后建议人们反思媒体使用习惯。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘brain rot’ refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much ‘unimportant or unchallenging’ content online.(“脑雾”指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象)”可知，“脑雾”是一种由网络内容导致的精神状态。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions.(研究人员对111名短视频高频使用者的大脑进行扫描后发现：沉迷程度越深者，脑结构变异越显著。这些受试者眶额皮层(决策与情绪管理中枢)及小脑(调控运动与情绪区域)的灰质明显增厚)”可知，研究的主要发现之一是决策相关区域的灰质增多。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect.(这项研究的一大缺陷在于其单次检测法。若要证明长时间观看短视频会损伤大脑，更有效的方法应是对受试者观看不同时长视频前后的脑部变化进行对比。但该研究仅采集了单一时间节点的数据，既未追踪长期变化，也未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系)”可知，作者质疑该研究的设计主要是因为它未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系，即未能建立因果关系。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “ brain rot ” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.(2024年度牛津词典将“脑雾”选为年度词汇，该词指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象。尽管这个说法常被戏谑使用，但天津师范大学的最新研究表明，其中或许确有科学依据)”、第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure.(研究人员对111名经常观看短视频的学生的大脑进行了检查，发现那些对短视频最着迷的学生的大脑结构有明显差异)”和倒数第二段“Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.(尽管研究结果令人担忧，但其本身存在局限性。类似关于科技对大脑影响的担忧早有先例——比如数字媒体威胁人类生存的论调，然而迄今都缺乏确凿证据佐证。英国巴斯大学彼得·埃切尔斯教授强调，目前并无可靠科学依据证明短视频会特异性地损伤大脑功能)”可知，文章介绍了关于“脑雾”的研究，说明因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象，但同时指出该研究存在局限性，没有确凿证据证明短视频对大脑有独特危害。故A项“Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?(脑雾：是真正的威胁还是被夸大的恐惧?)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 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。 By my early 40s, I had tried every hobby meant to ease the transition (过渡) into middle age: learning a new language, an abandoned project, and even yoga. ____36____ So, in a moment of low-grade desperation, I decided to try ballet. “But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. My history with physical activities — badminton, cycling, swimming — hadn’t exactly been promising. ____37____ Before my first class at the National Ballet School in Toronto, I grabbed a headband from my drawer. I was clearly aware that I was going to stand in front of a mirror with all my postural (体态的) problems on display. ____38____ I didn’t expect much from the class, but to my surprise, the things that had driven me away as a 10-year-old now brought me joy: the repetitive exercises, the physical effort, and the teacher’s critical eye. Though I expected my legs to ache, what I didn’t expect was how my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. ____39____ As a writer, this felt like the best advice I’d ever received. ____40____ At 50, I’m a ballerina — not the kind you’d see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body’s possibilities, imperfections and all. A. Nothing seemed to stick. B. Then I might as well do it in style. C. I had expected my classes to be physically demanding. D. Now, I’m what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner. E. I quickly realised ballet required more discipline than I had. F. But I determined to prove my body could still move with elegance. G. Ballet, he reminded me, isn’t about perfection, but working towards it. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. B 39. G 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者人到中年尝试多种爱好无果后，决定尝试芭蕾，虽不被丈夫看好，但上课后收获了快乐，50岁时成了终身的进阶初学者。 【36题详解】 上文“By my early 40s, I had tried every hobby meant to ease the transition (过渡) into middle age: learning a new language, an abandoned project, and even yoga. (到我40岁出头的时候，我尝试了每一种旨在缓解向中年过渡的爱好：学习一门新语言，一个半途而废的项目，甚至瑜伽。)”提到作者尝试了多种爱好。A选项“Nothing seemed to stick. (似乎没有一种爱好能坚持下来。)”承接上文，说明没有持续下去这一结果，与下文情绪“a moment of low-grade desperation”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【37题详解】 上文“He wasn’t wrong. My history with physical activities — badminton, cycling, swimming — hadn’t exactly been promising. (他说得没错。我在体育活动方面的经历——羽毛球、骑自行车、游泳——并不乐观。)”表明作者在体育活动方面表现不佳。F选项“But I determined to prove my body could still move with elegance. (但我决心证明我的身体仍然可以优雅地移动。)”与上文构成转折关系，体现了作者尽管之前体育活动经历不好，但仍决定尝试芭蕾，要证明自己身体能优雅移动，符合逻辑。故选F项。 【38题详解】 上文“I was clearly aware that I was going to stand in front of a mirror with all my postural (体态的) problems on display. (我清楚地意识到，我将站在镜子前，把我所有的体态问题都暴露无遗。)”说明作者知道自己体态问题会暴露。B选项“Then I might as well do it in style. (那么我不妨优雅地去做。)”承接上文，既然要暴露问题，那就优雅地去面对，上下文逻辑连贯。故选B项。 【39题详解】 上文“Though I expected my legs to ache, what I didn’t expect was how my teacher’s command to ‘take up more space’ would change my way of being in the world. (虽然我预料到我的腿会疼，但我没想到老师‘占据更多空间’的指令会改变我在这个世界上的生存方式。)”提到老师的指令有重要意义。G选项“Ballet, he reminded me, isn’t about perfection, but working towards it. (他提醒我，芭蕾不在于完美，而在于朝着完美努力。)”进一步解释了老师指令背后的意义，即芭蕾追求的是向完美努力，与上文逻辑相符。故选G项。 【40题详解】 下文“At 50, I’m a ballerina — not the kind you’d see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body’s possibilities, imperfections and all. (50岁时，我成了一名芭蕾舞演员——不是你在舞台上看到的那种，而是一个有目的地移动和呼吸，惊叹于自己身体的可能性、不完美以及一切的人。)”描述了作者50岁时作为芭蕾舞者的状态。D选项“Now, I’m what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner. (现在，我可以说是一个终身的进阶初学者。)”引出下文，表明自己虽然还在不断学习进步，但已经成为了这样一个特别的“芭蕾舞者”，上下文衔接自然。故选D项。 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。 I once thought I would become fluent in French within three months.

Let’s share them.” Mom laughed that May, her hands caked in soil. Mabel smiled, stuffing seedlings into recycled cups. For days, the sisters became tomato fairies, leaving plants on doorsteps across their Leeds neighborhood. Number 15 Park Street got one for her famous tomato jam. Number 16 received three. Then came Number 17 Park Street. The girls cycled past it daily—an old brick house hid behind weeds taller than Lila. Mom once said, “Some gardens grow food. Others grow miracles(奇迹).” “This one grows sadness,” Lila whispered as they stopped their bikes that afternoon. “That’s Ms. Hart’s place,” Mom said later, cleaning tomato jam from Lila’s cheek. “She used to grow prize-winning SunGold tomatoes, the sweetest... Then... well, some changes...She stopped gardening.” Her voice softened. The sisters exchanged looks. The next morning, they stood at Ms. Hart’s gate with six tomato seedlings. “Go away,” came a voice from an upstairs window. “We brought tomatoes!” Lila explained. “I’ve no time for this nonsense!” “They just need sun and water!” Lila stepped forward, her voice steady. “We’ll do all the work! Just let us plant them here, please? Otherwise……” she held up a seedling, “they’ll end up in the bin by Friday. They’ re SunGold tomatoes! The sweetest ever!” Silence. Ms. Hart’s shadow shifted behind the curtain. Moments later, the old woman slid a basket onto the ground—inside was proper gloves and a trowel(铲子)with soil. “Take that as a ‘yes’!” Lila whispered. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The girls dived into work right away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, when checking plants, the girls found Ms. Hart standing there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The girls dived into work right away. They put on the gloves and started pulling up the tall weeds. Mabel dug up the tough roots with all her strength, while Lila carefully piled dirt around the seedlings. The old shovel made loud scraping noises against the rocks, but they kept going, their faces dirty with sweat and soil. By sunset, six little tomato plants stood straight in the freshly cleared dirt, their leaves waving in the wind. As they packed their tools, Lil a noticed the upstairs curtain move slightly. “She’s watching us,” she whispered. Mabel smiled and left a note on the porch: “We’ll come back tomorrow to water them!” The next day, when checking plants, the girls found Ms. Hart standing there. She held a watering can, her gray hair shining in the sunlight. “You missed a weed here,” she said quietly, pointing to a spot near the fence. Lila nervously handed her the shovel. Ms. Hart bent down slowly, her hands trembling at first, but then she gently patted the soil around a plant. “These tomatoes need bigger holes,” she said in a rough voice. The girls glanced at each other, hiding their smiles. By lunchtime, Ms. Hart was showing them how to mix fertilizer, her eyes lighting up as she spoke. Weeks later, bright yellow tomatoes hung like tiny suns, and the once-sad garden buzzed with life—a reminder that even forgotten places could bloom again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了每年春天妈妈和两个女儿Mabel、Lila将后院打造成番茄乐园，并把多余的番茄幼苗分享给邻居。在看到17号Park Street杂草丛生的房子后，得知房子主人Ms. Hart曾种出获奖番茄，却因变故不再打理花园后，姐妹俩带着番茄幼苗前去，最终获得Ms. Hart许可在其花园种植的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“女孩们立即投入工作”可知，第一段可描写姐妹俩立刻开始劳作的情景。从戴上手套除草、处理幼苗，到日落时完成种植并发现Ms. Hart在暗中观察，留下次日再来浇水的便条 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，当检查植物时，女孩们发现Ms. Hart站在那里。”可知，第二段可描写第二天姐妹俩看到Ms. Hart站在花园的场景。包括Ms. Hart指出问题并亲自示范，到午餐时间她与姐妹俩互动增多，再到几周后果实累累，花园重现生机，展现Ms. Hart因姐妹俩的举动重新找回打理花园热情的过程。 2续写线索：姐妹俩开始劳作 —— 除草、种幼苗 —— 发现Ms. Hart观察并留便条 —— 第二天Ms. Hart出现并指导 —— 互动增多 —— 花园重焕生机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①戴上：put on /wear ②挖掘：dig up /excavate ③弯曲：bend down /stoop 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously /tensely ②兴奋地（此处通过眼神发亮体现）：lighting up /excitedly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Mabel dug up the tough roots with all her strength, while Lila carefully piled dirt around the seedlings.（运用了 while 引导的并列句，表示对比，突出姐妹俩同时进行不同的劳作） 【高分句型 2】Weeks later, bright yellow tomatoes hung like tiny suns, and the once - sad garden buzzed with life — a reminder that even forgotten places could bloom again.（运用了that 引导的同位语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试卷 本试题卷共12页，67题。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B It’s been quite a while since the world saw exactly how deadly these deep-sea voyages can be. On June 18,2023, the private submersible(潜水船)Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic, which is about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. The dive was expected to take a few hours and reach a depth of more than 12,000 feet. But 105minutes after the Titan went down below the waves, it lost contact. The U. S. and Canadian Coast Guards and the U. S. Navy were called in for a desperate search to rescue the passengers, only to discover the Titan had collapsed inward with no survivors. The disaster dominated global news for weeks, touching off debates: Are human-led deep-sea missions worth their risks and costs? On social media, some expressed sympathy, while others opposed the effort. Critics labeled the passengers “risk-takers” or “senseless,” and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned victims in the Aegean Sea. The obloquy continues today—I’ve been targeted myself. For a decade, I’ve supported undersea exploration, arguing its importance. Critics object that remotely operated machines make human missions unnecessary. Why dive deep when we can study hidden secrets in high-definition from safe offices? Yet I defend humanity’s drive to explore—the hands-on, unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across oceans. Without such exploration, scientists can’t confirm theories; nor can journalists share real stories. Through many attempts and mistakes, I’ve learned: To truly describe a subject, you must encounter it. Discovery requires being present. The path to knowledge is challenging, filled with setbacks and failures. It’s costly and often unrewarding, but that’s exactly why it matters. Trying various approaches—even following uncertain clues—is crucial to discovery. We lose something vital if we abandon the courage to go deep. 24. What was the initial purpose of the Titan’s mission? A. To test an underwater vehicle. B. To study undersea creatures. C. To rescue Aegean Sea victims. D. To observe the ruins of a ship. 25. What does the underlined word “obloquy” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The occurrence of drowning. B. The criticism from the society. C. The debate among journalists. D. The focus on wealthy explorers. 26. How does the author defend the value of deep-sea exploration? A. By quoting famous scientists. B. By listing undersea discoveries. C. By weighing the risks and significance. D. By emphasizing its economic benefits. 27. What is essential for discovery according to the author? A. Media coverage. B. Pure imagination. C. Secured environment. D. Direct involvement. C Cutting carbon emissions(排放)is not enough to keep global warming to less than 1.5℃—the goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. Not anymore, at least. As a result, hundreds of start-ups trying to remove greenhouse gases from the air and water have sprung up within the past few years. While land-based carbon dioxide removal projects have been undergoing testing and development for decades, ocean-based carbon removal is more recent in the push to fight against climate change. And one of the leaders in that field—Equatic—is about to increase its efforts in a big way. What began three years ago as a US Department of Energy-funded research project out of the University of California Los Angeles has already grown into a pair of pilot projects in Los Angeles and Singapore. And now, the company has its sights set on building a massive marine carbon capture(海洋碳捕获)facility in Quebec. The process for capturing carbon begins by pumping seawater into a tank and then using an electrical current to break down the water into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) gases and a solution, which is then reacted with the air, pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and chemically transforming it into two byproducts. One, calcium carbonate, is a white powder. The other is a solution that gets released back into the ocean. The proposed Quebec plant differs significantly from Equatic’s existing facilities. Its Singaporean pilot facility can process 4,000 tonnes of carbon each year. The planned Quebec facility, meanwhile, will be capable of processing 110,000 tonnes annually—about as much carbon as is emitted by 24,000 cars. Ultimately, though, the young industry is full of uncertainties. So far, research on marine carbon removal has been based on lab experiments and trials. So as Equatic’s planned Quebec plant moves ahead, scientists will be watching to learn more about its environmental impact and about just how effective marine carbon dioxide removal can really be. 28. What can we know about Equatic from the first two paragraphs? A. It started as a university research project. B. It is a land-based carbon removal project. C. It has undergone tests for decades. D. It is a start-up located in Quebec. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Environmental impacts of carbon removal. B. Comparative analysis of removal methods. C. Economic advantages of Quebec facility. D. Equatic’s carbon capture mechanism. 30. What sets the proposed Quebec plant apart? A. Its location. B. Its capacity. C. Its priority. D. Its partnership. 31. What is the author’s perspective on marine carbon removal? A. It’s energy-intensive. B. It’s a permanent fix. C. It’s down-to-the-ground. D. It’s an open question. D Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it. Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted. A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”. Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain. A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology. 32. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1? A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people. C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects. 33. Which is one of the main findings of the research? A. Less ability to compare themselves to others. B. Worse control over emotions. C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement. D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions. 34. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______. A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants. C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements. 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear? B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm? C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year? D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain? 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。 By my early 40s, I had tried every hobby meant to ease the transition (过渡) into middle age: learning a new language, an abandoned project, and even yoga. ____36____ So, in a moment of low-grade desperation, I decided to try ballet. “But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me.

Though I expected my legs to ache, what I didn’t expect was how my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. ____39____ As a writer, this felt like the best advice I’d ever received. ____40____ At 50, I’m a ballerina — not the kind you’d see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body’s possibilities, imperfections and all. A. Nothing seemed to stick. B. Then I might as well do it in style. C. I had expected my classes to be physically demanding. D. Now, I’m what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner. E.

Let’s share them.” Mom laughed that May, her hands caked in soil. Mabel smiled, stuffing seedlings into recycled cups. For days, the sisters became tomato fairies, leaving plants on doorsteps across their Leeds neighborhood. Number 15 Park Street got one for her famous tomato jam. Number 16 received three. Then came Number 17 Park Street. The girls cycled past it daily—an old brick house hid behind weeds taller than Lila. Mom once said, “Some gardens grow food. Others grow miracles(奇迹).” “This one grows sadness,” Lila whispered as they stopped their bikes that afternoon. “That’s Ms. Hart’s place,” Mom said later, cleaning tomato jam from Lila’s cheek. “She used to grow prize-winning SunGold tomatoes, the sweetest... Then... well, some changes...She stopped gardening.” Her voice softened. The sisters exchanged looks. The next morning, they stood at Ms. Hart’s gate with six tomato seedlings. “Go away,” came a voice from an upstairs window. “We brought tomatoes!” Lila explained. “I’ve no time for this nonsense!” “They just need sun and water!” Lila stepped forward, her voice steady. “We’ll do all the work! Just let us plant them here, please? Otherwise……” she held up a seedling, “they’ll end up in the bin by Friday. They’ re SunGold tomatoes! The sweetest ever!” Silence. Ms. Hart’s shadow shifted behind the curtain. Moments later, the old woman slid a basket onto the ground—inside was proper gloves and a trowel(铲子)with soil. “Take that as a ‘yes’!” Lila whispered. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The girls dived into work right away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, when checking plants, the girls found Ms. Hart standing there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $武汉市2025届高三年级五月模拟考试听力测试，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音。时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
