Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. These ground tremors (small earthquakes) are the world’s deadliest natural disasters. And they’re often unpredictable. Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the Shake Alert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert. Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom. During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles. The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern California Seismic Network. Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,” she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of ShakeAlert seismic stations. When one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. 4. What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little? A. She used to like playing hide and seek in school. B. She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake. C. She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill. D. She showed no interest in studying natural disasters. 5. Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system? A. To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations. B. To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy. C. To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection. D. To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems. 6. What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device? A. Monitoring tremors and sending alarms. B. Collecting data about minor earthquakes. C. Predicting the center of an earthquake. D. Assessing the sizes of earthquakes. 7. What’s implied about the network of Qubes? A. It’s very challenging to build it. B. It has limitations in large cities. C. It can be easily applied at a low cost. D. It just requires eight devices in each place. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Vivien He，一名来自南加州的高中生，鉴于地震频发的现状，她发明了一种名为Qube的地震传感器设备，该设备Qube体积小、成本低，更易于在城市中广泛应用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. (在地震频发的南加州长大，这个18岁的女孩在地震演习中花了很多时间躲在课桌下。)”可知，Vivien He小时候经常处于经历地震的风险中。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the Shake Alert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert.(确实存在地震预警系统。其中之一是美国西海岸的Shake Alert系统。Shake Alert网络中的地震监测站在地震发生时能够检测到地面的震动。然后，这些监测站会向人们发出警报，告知他们脚下的地面可能很快就会开始震动。但是，很难预测在任何给定地点地面会震动到什么程度。离震源最近的人就没那么幸运了。他们在收到警报之前就会感觉到震动。)”可知，作者提到Shake Alert系统是为了展示现有地震预警系统的缺点。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. (这个被称为Qube的设备使用一种叫做检波器的运动传感器来感知可能标志着更大地震开始的震动。然后，它可以通过发出警报或发送文本警报来警告用户。)”可知，Vivien He的设备的主要功能是监测震动并发送警报。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. (但与地震监测站不同，Qubes体积小、价格便宜。大约有一个魔方那么大，一个Qube的制作成本不到100美元。因此，可以在城市周围安装更多的Qubes。)”可推知，Qubes网络可以低成本地轻松应用。故选C项。 C Two thousand years ago, lemurs-an animal like a monkey, and giant “elephant birds” wandered through Madagascar. A thousand years later, they were nearly gone. Now, a new study has figured out the mystery of their annihilation. The new study traced back to 2007 when Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa and a group of researchers created the Madagascar Genetic and Ethnolinguistic project to study the long-debated question of the ancestry of the Malagasy, the island’s major native ethnic group. Though Madagascar is located about 425 kilometers off the east coast of Africa, the Malagasy language is similar to the Austronesian languages spoken 7,000 kilometers across the Indian Ocean. There’s long been a question about when and how people came to Madagascar, and how they influenced the large-bodied animals, including giant lemurs, elephant birds and turtles. Between 2007 and 2014 the team traveled to 257 villages around the island. They collected saliva (唾液) samples and musical, linguistic, and other social science data. In the new study, the scientists genetically analyzed the saliva and used a computer program to model Malagasy ancestry and estimate how it changed over generations. They found the modern Malagasy population is descended from a small ancestral Asian population. By 1,000 years ago, this small group had made it to the island. Other studies have found that at the same time, the population of Madagascar exploded and that the lifestyle of the people changed as well. Before, humans had lived alongside animals and hunted in small groups. Then, they built large settlements, planted rice, and grazed cattle in the field, archaeological evidence shows. The researchers believe the population growth and these changes, paired with a hotter and drier climate, likely led to the disappearance of the giant creatures. The researchers agree the timing lines up, give or take 100-years, but they believe the changing climate played less of a role. Understanding humans’ role in the Madagascar extinction is urgent today, especially as modern giants such as elephants and rhinoceroses are threatened. We need to know what causes major changes, so we can save ourselves from a potentially terrible future. 8. What does the underlined word “annihilation” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Extinction. B. Conservation. C. Expansion. D. Reservation. 9. Why did Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa start a project in 2007? A. To document the linguistic diversity of Madagascar. B. To investigate the evolutionary history of lemurs. C. To explore the origins and influence of the Malagasy people. D. To promote wildlife conservation among local communities. 10. Which of the following may greatly affect the survival of giant creatures in Madagascar? A. Changes in the climate of the island. B. The explosion of local people and their activities. C. The conflict between Asian people and the Madagascans. D. Hunting practices of humans living alongside the animals. 11. What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Rome is not built in one day. C. Man shall prepare for the worst. D. History should be taken as a mirror. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家通过研究发现，马达加斯加的大型动物(如狐猴、象鸟等)灭绝的原因可能与人口增长、生活方式变化以及气候变化等因素有关。这一发现有助于理解人类活动对生物多样性的影响，并为保护现代大型动物如大象和犀牛提供了警示。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“Two thousand years ago, lemurs-an animal like a monkey, and giant “elephant birds” wandered through Madagascar. A thousand years later, they were nearly gone. (两千年前，像猴子一样的狐猴和巨大的“象鸟”在马达加斯加游荡。一千年后，它们几乎消失了。)”可知，原本在马达加斯加到处游荡的狐猴和巨大的“象鸟”一年前后几乎消失了，因此一种新的研究解开了狐猴和象鸟等生物灭绝的谜团。故划线词与A选项“Extinction. (灭绝)”为同义词。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The new study traced back to 2007 when Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa and a group of researchers created the Madagascar Genetic and Ethnolinguistic project to study the long-debated question of the ancestry of the Malagasy, the island's major native ethnic group. (这项新的研究可以追溯到2007年，当时Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa和一群研究人员创建了马达加斯加遗传与民族语言学项目，以研究有关马达加斯加人的祖先这一长期争论的问题，马达加斯加人是这个岛屿上主要的本土民族。)”可知，Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa在2007年启动马达加斯加遗传与民族语言学项目是为了研究马达加斯加人的起源和影响。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The researchers believe the population growth and these changes，paired with a hotter and drier climate，likely led to the disappearance of the giant creatures. The researchers agree the timing lines up，give or take 100-years，but they believe the changing climate played less of a role. (研究人员认为，人口增长和这些变化，加上更热更干燥的气候，可能是导致这些巨型生物消失的原因。研究人员认为，这个时间线，上下浮动100年，都是合理的，但他们认为气候变化所起的作用较小。)”可知，马达加斯加的人口激增以及人类活动对生存环境的改变，再加上气候的变化，可能是导致这些巨型生物消失的原因，但研究人员认为气候变化所起的作用较小，所以影响马达加斯加巨型生物存活的主要因素可能是当地人口的激增以及他们的活动。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Understanding humans' role in the Madagascar extinction is urgent today, especially as modern giants such as elephants and rhinoceroses are threatened. We need to know what causes major changes, so we can save ourselves from a potentially terrible future. (今天，了解人类在马达加斯加物种灭绝中的作用迫在眉睫，尤其是当现代大型动物如大象和犀牛受到威胁时。我们需要知道是什么导致了巨大的变化，这样我们才能拯救自己免于一个可能可怕的未来。)”可知，文章结尾指出了解人类在物种灭绝中的作用至关重要，尤其是现在大型动物也受到威胁，需要知道导致巨大变化的原因，从而避免潜在可怕的未来，由此可推知，我们应该以史为鉴。D选项“History should be taken as a mirror. (历史应当被当作一面镜子。)”符合题意。故选D项。 D Every year, as the surface water temperature off the United States mid-Atlantic coast rises steadily from late spring through the summer, a pocket of unusually cool and crisp water gets trapped at the bottom of the ocean. Packed with nutrients this thick band of cold water, known as the mid-Atlantic cold pool, is a vital home for shellfish species. Extending at its seasonal peak from Nantucket, Massachusetts, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, the cold poll creates a diverse ecosystem ranging from algae (海藻) to fish-and some of the most valuable shellfish fisheries in the United States. Now, however, two pressures have scientists worrying about whether the cold pool will last. The first is no surprise: climate change. Over the past five decades, climates change has weakened the cold pool, causing it to warm and shrink. Compared with 1968, the cold pool is now 13℃ warmer and has lost more than one-third of its area. The second concern is less certain. In 2023, the US federal government approved plans to install (安装) 98 wind turbines (涡轮机) off the New Jersey coast, covering an area of more than 300 square kilometers. Yet putting so many turbines to the seafloor could have unexpected consequences for the cold pool. That’s why Travis Miles, a researcher at New Jersey’s Rutgers University, and his colleagues are investigating. So far, Miles and his colleagues can’t definitively say what will happen to the cold pool, saying more research is needed to assess how climate change and offshore wind, together, could affect the cold pool. However, their initial analyses suggest the cold pool should be fine — at least in normal conditions. New Jersey’s offshore wind plans are strongly opposed mainly by fossil fuel-industry funded efforts. Miles worries that an overabundance of caution or fear of potential impacts, including on the cold pool, might slow down the development of renewable energy. “It’s quite clear that climate change is far more damaging than installing wind farms,” he says. “I don’t think any scientist would argue with that.” 12. What is the primary function of the mid-Atlantic cold pool according to the passage? A. To regulate the surface water temperature. B. To provide a habitat for shellfish species. C. To create a diverse ecosystem for fish. D. To support the growth of algae. 13. How has climate change affected the mid-Atlantic cold pool over the past five decades? A. It has made the cold pool warmer and smaller. B. It has had no significant impact on the cold pool. C. It has only affected the surface water temperature. D. It has caused the cold pool to expand and cool down 14. Miles’ attitude toward installing wind farms can be described as _________. A. supportive B. dismissive C. overcautious D. skeptical 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Cold Pool Plays a Role on Species B. Opinions Divide on Offshore Wind Farms C. Scientists Eye Potential Risks to the Cold Pool D. Renewable Energy Helps to Race Against Climate Change 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国中大西洋冷池是贝类重要栖息地，现受气候变化影响变暖缩小，新泽西海岸风电计划或有影响，需更多研究评估。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Packed with nutrients this thick band of cold water, known as the mid-Atlantic cold pool, is a vital home for shellfish species.(这一富含营养物质的厚层冷水带，被称为中大西洋冷水池，是贝类物种的重要栖息地)”可知，中大西洋冷池的主要功能是为贝类物种提供栖息地。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Over the past five decades, climates change has weakened the cold pool, causing it to warm and shrink. Compared with 1968, the cold pool is now 13℃ warmer and has lost more than one-third of its area.(在过去五十年里，气候变化削弱了冷水池，导致其变暖并缩小。与 1968 年相比，现在的冷水池温度高出 13℃，面积减少了超过三分之一)”可知，在过去五十年里，气候变化对中大西洋冷池使得冷池变得更暖且面积更小。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s quite clear that climate change is far more damaging than installing wind farms,” he says. “I don’t think any scientist would argue with that.”(他说：“很明显，气候变化造成的危害要远远大于建设风力发电场所带来的影响。我认为任何科学家都不会对此提出异议。”)”可知，米尔斯对于建设风力发电场的态度可以被描述为支持的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In 2023, the US federal government approved plans to install (安装) 98 wind turbines (涡轮机) off the New Jersey coast, covering an area of more than 300 square kilometers. Yet putting so many turbines to the seafloor could have unexpected consequences for the cold pool.(2023 年，美国联邦政府批准在新泽西海岸安装 98 台风力涡轮机，覆盖面积超过 300 平方公里。然而，将如此多的涡轮机铺设到海底可能会对冷水池产生意想不到的影响)”结合文章主要说明了美国中大西洋冷池是贝类重要栖息地，现受气候变化影响变暖缩小，新泽西海岸风电计划或有影响，需更多研究评估。可知，C选项“科学家关注对冷水池可能带来的风险”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At least three reasons stand out why a girl should acquire a college education: it can ensure her greater financial gain, better patterns of family life, and richer personal resources. Initially, the girl who obtains a college education is likely to find a better occupation and make more money. A typist, for example, may earn no more than $2,000 a month. ___16___. In a sense, salary varies with the level of education. ___17___. For instance, she’ll be able to have a better interpersonal communication particularly with her husband, since she is more aware of reasonable ways of thinking and livelihood than the woman who drops out of school in the tenth grade, spends most of her time washing diapers and develops an addiction to electronic devices like TV, the cell phone, etc. Additionally, a woman with a higher education can have an effect on her children’s growth. Nothing makes a cooler mom than one that is involved in the children’s hobbies by taking an intelligent, informed interest in it. ___18___. They will keep a distance from their children’s space, privacy, and independence and trust that they can have a strong relationship without knowing every aspect of their lives. Eventually, perhaps the most important of all is the fact that a college education gives a woman richer personal resources than she would otherwise have. ___19___. The unique circles based on her education, of people from art, science, philosophy and so forth, are bound to enrich a woman’s life. If you are not one of those who want to be a kept woman or take money from your parents or your husband, you will need certain skills that of course can be obtained at a university or college. ___20___, as is mentioned. A. So a woman can leave the kitchen and diapers B. Every woman should try to get a college education C. It gives her a taste for ideas and a knowledge of the world D. Next, a girl with further education can get a good marriage E. Secondly, a college-educated girl probably has a better family life F. Moreover, a well-educated mom knows how to show respect for her children G. A research chemist in contrast, may make a profit of more than $ 150 000 a year 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个女孩应该接受大学教育的原因至少有三个：它可以确保她获得更大的经济收入，更好的家庭生活模式，以及更丰富的个人资源。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Initially, the girl who obtains a college education is likely to find a better occupation and make more money. A typist, for example, may earn no more than $2,000 a month.(最初，接受大学教育的女孩可能会找到更好的职业，赚更多的钱。例如，一名打字员的月薪可能不超过2000美元)”可知，本句承接上文说明接受更高教育的人的薪资水平。故G选项“相比之下，一个研究化学的人一年可以赚多于15万美元”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For instance, she’ll be able to have a better interpersonal communication particularly with her husband, since she is more aware of reasonable ways of thinking and livelihood than the woman who drops out of school in the tenth grade, spends most of her time washing diapers and develops an addiction to electronic devices like TV, the cell phone, etc.( 例如，她能够有一个更好的人际沟通，特别是与她的丈夫，因为她比那些十年级就辍学，大部分时间都在洗尿布，并对电视、手机等电子设备上瘾的女人更了解合理的思维方式和生活方式)”可知，本段的主旨是受过大学教育的女孩更懂人际沟通和生活方式，即有更好的家庭生活。故E选项“其次，受过大学教育的女孩可能有更好的家庭生活”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据后文“They will keep a distance from their children’s space, privacy, and independence and trust that they can have a strong relationship without knowing every aspect of their lives.(他们会与孩子的空间、隐私、独立性保持距离，并相信他们可以在不了解孩子生活方方面面的情况下建立牢固的关系)”可知，后文提到受过良好教育的母亲会与孩子的空间、隐私、独立性保持距离，即尊重自己的孩子，故F选项“此外，一个受过良好教育的母亲知道如何尊重她的孩子”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Eventually, perhaps the most important of all is the fact that a college education gives a woman richer personal resources than she would otherwise have.(最后，也许最重要的是，大学教育让女性拥有了比没有大学教育时更丰富的个人资源)”以及后文“The unique circles based on her education, of people from art, science, philosophy and so forth, are bound to enrich a woman’s life.(以她的教育为基础的独特的圈子，包括来自艺术、科学、哲学等方面的人，一定会丰富一个女人的生活)”可知，本句承接上文继续说明大学教育对女性的作用。C选项It指代上文a college education。故C选项“它使她有思想的品味和对世界的了解”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“If you are not one of those who want to be a kept woman or take money from your parents or your husband, you will need certain skills that of course can be obtained at a university or college.(如果你不是那种想要被包养的人，或者不想从父母或丈夫那里拿钱的人，你将需要一些在大学或学院当然可以获得的技能)”可知，上文提到了需要一些在大学或学院当然可以获得的技能，即建议女性应该接受大学教育。故B选项“每个女人都应该努力接受大学教育”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Chloe Smith is a girl aged 6 from Atlanta, Georgia.

I hesitated at first. Although I loved art, I had always painted for myself, not for contests or recognition. My family, who had moved from Mexico, encouraged me to express our culture through my art, but I was unsure about exposing my work to the public. Painting was a personal journey for me, a way to connect with my roots and express my emotions. But my teacher saw something in my paintings that I hadn’t. She said, “Your work tells a story, a vibrant narrative of your heritage and dreams. You should share it with the world.” Motivated by her confidence in me, I decided to take the leap. I chose the theme of ‘Migration’ for my painting. It was a tribute to my family’s journey from Mexico to the United States, a blend of colors and emotions depicting both the struggles and hopes of moving to a new land. I poured my heart into that canvas, each stroke representing a piece of my story. As I worked I found myself lost in the memories and experiences of my family. The more I painted, the more I understood the sacrifices they had made for me. My doubts turned into determination. I wanted this painting not just to be seen but to be felt. I stayed up late for several nights, perfecting every detail, ensuring that every color and every line conveyed the emotions I felt so deeply. When I finally finished, I was no longer concerned about winning. The painting was a part of me, a representation of my family’s journey and my growth as an artist. 注意： 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。 The day of the competition arrived, and my heart was racing as I displayed my painting among the others. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the competition, I walked up to my art teacher, filled with a mix of gratitude and pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The day of the competition arrived, and my heart was racing as I displayed my painting among the others. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I saw the diverse and impressive artworks surrounding mine. Each piece told a unique story, but I knew that my painting held a special place in my heart, embodying not only my artistic expression but also my family’s journey and cultural heritage. As the judges began to evaluate the paintings, I closed my eyes and whispered a silent prayer, hoping that my message would resonate with those who viewed it. Finally, the head judge announced that I won! After the competition, I walked up to my art teacher, filled with a mix of gratitude and pride. She smiled warmly at me and said, “Congratulations! You’ve captured the essence of ‘Migration’ beautifully.” Her words filled me with a sense of validation and accomplishment. I knew that I had succeeded in sharing a piece of myself with the world. The journey of creating and exhibiting my painting had not only honed my artistic skills but had also deepened my connection to my roots. As I thanked my teacher for her guidance and support, I realized that taking that leap of faith had led me to a new level of artistic fulfillment and self-discovery. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了作者在高中时参加绘画比赛的经历。起初，作者犹豫不决，但在美术老师表达肯定和信心后，决定以“移民”为主题创作一幅代表家人从墨西哥到美国旅程的作品。作者投入了心血和情感，并将自己的家庭记忆和经历融入到作品中。最终，作者完成了这幅有意义的画作，展现了家人的旅程和自己的成长。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛的日子到了，当我把我的画作和其他人一起展示时，我的心怦怦直跳。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到其他人的画作的感受，对自己的画作的信心，以及评委们评价这些画作，作者成功获奖。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后，我走向我的美术老师，心中充满了感激和自豪。”可知，第二段可描写美术老师向作者表示祝贺和肯定，以及作者对这次完成画作参赛的感悟。 2. 续写线索：比赛日来临——作者和其他人画作的情况——评委宣布作者获奖——比赛结束——美术老师祝贺和肯定——作者参赛的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①体现：embody/reflect/represent ②评价：evaluate/assess ③宣布：announce/declare ④展示：exhibit/display ⑤意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②紧张：nervousness/tension 【点睛】[高分句型1] Each piece told a unique story, but I knew that my painting held a special place in my heart, embodying not only my artistic expression but also my family’s journey and cultural heritage.

Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. These ground tremors (small earthquakes) are the world’s deadliest natural disasters. And they’re often unpredictable. Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the Shake Alert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert. Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom. During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles. The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern California Seismic Network. Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,” she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of ShakeAlert seismic stations. When one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. 4. What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little? A. She used to like playing hide and seek in school. B. She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake. C. She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill. D. She showed no interest in studying natural disasters. 5. Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system? A. To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations. B. To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy. C. To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection. D. To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems. 6. What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device? A. Monitoring tremors and sending alarms. B. Collecting data about minor earthquakes. C. Predicting the center of an earthquake. D. Assessing the sizes of earthquakes. 7. What’s implied about the network of Qubes? A. It’s very challenging to build it. B. It has limitations in large cities. C. It can be easily applied at a low cost. D. It just requires eight devices in each place. C Two thousand years ago, lemurs-an animal like a monkey, and giant “elephant birds” wandered through Madagascar. A thousand years later, they were nearly gone. Now, a new study has figured out the mystery of their annihilation. The new study traced back to 2007 when Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa and a group of researchers created the Madagascar Genetic and Ethnolinguistic project to study the long-debated question of the ancestry of the Malagasy, the island’s major native ethnic group. Though Madagascar is located about 425 kilometers off the east coast of Africa, the Malagasy language is similar to the Austronesian languages spoken 7,000 kilometers across the Indian Ocean. There’s long been a question about when and how people came to Madagascar, and how they influenced the large-bodied animals, including giant lemurs, elephant birds and turtles. Between 2007 and 2014 the team traveled to 257 villages around the island. They collected saliva (唾液) samples and musical, linguistic, and other social science data. In the new study, the scientists genetically analyzed the saliva and used a computer program to model Malagasy ancestry and estimate how it changed over generations. They found the modern Malagasy population is descended from a small ancestral Asian population. By 1,000 years ago, this small group had made it to the island. Other studies have found that at the same time, the population of Madagascar exploded and that the lifestyle of the people changed as well. Before, humans had lived alongside animals and hunted in small groups. Then, they built large settlements, planted rice, and grazed cattle in the field, archaeological evidence shows. The researchers believe the population growth and these changes, paired with a hotter and drier climate, likely led to the disappearance of the giant creatures. The researchers agree the timing lines up, give or take 100-years, but they believe the changing climate played less of a role. Understanding humans’ role in the Madagascar extinction is urgent today, especially as modern giants such as elephants and rhinoceroses are threatened. We need to know what causes major changes, so we can save ourselves from a potentially terrible future. 8. What does the underlined word “annihilation” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Extinction. B. Conservation. C. Expansion. D. Reservation. 9. Why did Jean-Aimé Rakotoarisoa start a project in 2007? A. To document the linguistic diversity of Madagascar. B. To investigate the evolutionary history of lemurs. C. To explore the origins and influence of the Malagasy people. D To promote wildlife conservation among local communities. 10 Which of the following may greatly affect the survival of giant creatures in Madagascar? A. Changes in the climate of the island. B. The explosion of local people and their activities. C. The conflict between Asian people and the Madagascans. D. Hunting practices of humans living alongside the animals. 11 What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Rome is not built in one day. C. Man shall prepare for the worst. D. History should be taken as a mirror. D Every year, as the surface water temperature off the United States mid-Atlantic coast rises steadily from late spring through the summer, a pocket of unusually cool and crisp water gets trapped at the bottom of the ocean. Packed with nutrients this thick band of cold water, known as the mid-Atlantic cold pool, is a vital home for shellfish species. Extending at its seasonal peak from Nantucket, Massachusetts, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, the cold poll creates a diverse ecosystem ranging from algae (海藻) to fish-and some of the most valuable shellfish fisheries in the United States. Now, however, two pressures have scientists worrying about whether the cold pool will last. The first is no surprise: climate change. Over the past five decades, climates change has weakened the cold pool, causing it to warm and shrink. Compared with 1968, the cold pool is now 13℃ warmer and has lost more than one-third of its area. The second concern is less certain. In 2023, the US federal government approved plans to install (安装) 98 wind turbines (涡轮机) off the New Jersey coast, covering an area of more than 300 square kilometers. Yet putting so many turbines to the seafloor could have unexpected consequences for the cold pool. That’s why Travis Miles, a researcher at New Jersey’s Rutgers University, and his colleagues are investigating. So far, Miles and his colleagues can’t definitively say what will happen to the cold pool, saying more research is needed to assess how climate change and offshore wind, together, could affect the cold pool. However, their initial analyses suggest the cold pool should be fine — at least in normal conditions. New Jersey’s offshore wind plans are strongly opposed mainly by fossil fuel-industry funded efforts. Miles worries that an overabundance of caution or fear of potential impacts, including on the cold pool, might slow down the development of renewable energy. “It’s quite clear that climate change is far more damaging than installing wind farms,” he says. “I don’t think any scientist would argue with that.” 12 What is the primary function of the mid-Atlantic cold pool according to the passage? A. To regulate the surface water temperature. B. To provide a habitat for shellfish species. C. To create a diverse ecosystem for fish. D. To support the growth of algae. 13. How has climate change affected the mid-Atlantic cold pool over the past five decades? A. It has made the cold pool warmer and smaller. B. It has had no significant impact on the cold pool. C. It has only affected the surface water temperature. D. It has caused the cold pool to expand and cool down 14. Miles’ attitude toward installing wind farms can be described as _________. A. supportive B. dismissive C. overcautious D. skeptical 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Cold Pool Plays a Role on Species B. Opinions Divide on Offshore Wind Farms C. Scientists Eye Potential Risks to the Cold Pool D. Renewable Energy Helps to Race Against Climate Change 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At least three reasons stand out why a girl should acquire a college education: it can ensure her greater financial gain, better patterns of family life, and richer personal resources.

I hesitated at first. Although I loved art, I had always painted for myself, not for contests or recognition. My family, who had moved from Mexico, encouraged me to express our culture through my art, but I was unsure about exposing my work to the public. Painting was a personal journey for me, a way to connect with my roots and express my emotions. But my teacher saw something in my paintings that I hadn’t. She said, “Your work tells a story, a vibrant narrative of your heritage and dreams. You should share it with the world.” Motivated by her confidence in me, I decided to take the leap. I chose the theme of ‘Migration’ for my painting. It was a tribute to my family’s journey from Mexico to the United States, a blend of colors and emotions depicting both the struggles and hopes of moving to a new land. I poured my heart into that canvas, each stroke representing a piece of my story. As I worked, I found myself lost in the memories and experiences of my family. The more I painted, the more I understood the sacrifices they had made for me. My doubts turned into determination. I wanted this painting not just to be seen but to be felt. I stayed up late for several nights, perfecting every detail, ensuring that every color and every line conveyed the emotions I felt so deeply. When I finally finished, I was no longer concerned about winning. The painting was a part of me, a representation of my family’s journey and my growth as an artist. 注意： 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。 The day of the competition arrived, and my heart was racing as I displayed my painting among the others. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the competition, I walked up to my art teacher, filled with a mix of gratitude and pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
