Daisy Hill Conservation Park Tree Discovery Trail, Brisbane This easy-going trail wanders around the open eucalypt forest and melaleuca wetlands of Logan’s Daisy Hill Conservation Park. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a family outing you are seeking, the trail offers a relaxed walk suitable for everyone — little kids and big kids alike. Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Airlie Creek Track, The Whitsundays Keep an eye out for rock wallabies and native rainforests as you make your way up the Airlie Creek Track. The track starts as a gentle walk but becomes increasingly challenging along the way. To make it to the top, you’ll have to brave a short, steep section featuring a leg-burning challenge. Your reward? Trickling rock pools and a waterfall that’s particularly pretty after rainfall. Accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. Natural Bridge Circuit, Gold Coast Wander amongst prehistoric jungle, Jurassic-period hoop pines, and tumbling waterfalls in Springbrook National Park, part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests. For the whole family, we recommend the Natural Bridge Circuit, where a short trail leads to a “bridge” inside a cave formed by water over thousands of years. Accessibility: Not completely accessible. Oceanview Walk, Gold Coast Just metres from the sands of Echo Beach, you’ll discover the Oceanview Walk. This family-friendly walk winds through subtropical (亚热带的) rainforest, and along the surf front of Burleigh Headland. Visit between May and November to spot whales frolicking (嬉戏) in the sea. Accessibility: Some wheelchair access. 1. Which trail is totally inaccessible for people with mobility issues? A. Daisy Hill Conservation Park Tree Discovery Trail. B. Airlie Creek Track. C. Natural Bridge Circuit. D. Oceanview Walk. 2. Who is most likely to enjoy Natural Bridge Circuit? A. Families seeking a scenic and easy walk. B. Tourists keen to explore dense rainforests. C. Whale watchers interested in coastal views. D. Experienced hikers seeking a demanding adventure. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A scientific research paper. B. A historical journal. C. A personal blog post. D. A travel brochure. B I saw a street sweeper frequently around our neighborhood in London. For the most part he seemed discontented, whispering complaints as he cleaned trash. His anger was, at times, a little frightening. I’d observe him cautiously, and I would often cross the road to escape his verbal abuse. Glancing at him the wrong way could set him off, so I’d always try not to look directly at him if we crossed paths. One day, after noticing — and avoiding — him for a year, I saw him smiling and nodding agreeably to himself. But he was also doing something else. He was feeding coins into a parking meter, apparently to prevent owners of parked cars whose payments had run out from getting fined. Over the next couple of years, I saw him doing this again and again. There was nothing performative about his actions. Yet there was a surprising certainty and inborn goodness about his actions that others might well dismiss. In my mind, it was just pure kindness. A few weeks ago I was at the supermarket in need of a trolley (手推车). To unlock one, a $1 or $2 coin was needed but I’ve never got change because who carries coins anymore? I was swearing at the trolley using words that would embarrass a convention of London street sweepers. I must have looked slightly mad, abusing the trolley. A young woman appeared and handed me a $2 coin. “I can’t possibly,” I said. “How can I repay you?” “You don’t need to. Just give it to the next person you see who needs it. Someone else gave it to me when I needed a trolley.” The kindness of perfect strangers can really stop you in your tracks sometimes. 4 Which best explains the phrase “set him off” in paragraph 1? A. Cause him to lose his temper. B. Encourage him to help others. C. Remind him to clean the rubbish. D. Make him leave the neighborhood. 5. What was the street sweeper’s intention in putting money into the parking meters? A. To gain attention from the public. B. To help people avoid parking tickets. C. To earn extra money from the device. D. To avoid getting in trouble with his boss. 6. How did the author feel about needing a coin for the trolley? A. Curious. B. Disappointed. C. Frustrated. D. Grateful. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Bitterness of Urban Life B. Unspoken Trust of Strangers C. Subtle Power of Small Gestures D. Politeness in Everyday Interactions C Fred Ritchin has been thinking about the future of the photograph for nearly half a century. He started to notice changes to the medium in 1982, working as a picture editor at The New York Times magazine; in 1984 he wrote an article for the magazine, “Photography’s New Bag of Tricks”, about the consequences of digital editing technology in contemporary photojournalism. In the decades since, he’s witnessed the shift from the early days of digital photo editing to AI imagery, in which amateur and professional users alike can use digital services to instantly generate realistic visuals. As AI images become increasingly common, Ritchin feels people need to find new ways to confirm that they can believe what they see. Of course, AI imagery hasn’t appeared out of thin air. In the early days of digital editing, National Geographic was criticized for digitally moving the Pyramids closer together for its February 1982 cover image. Today National Geographic photographers are required to shoot in RAW format — a setting that produces unprocessed images — and the magazine has a strict policy against photo manipulation (篡改). Ritchin’s view is that editors, publishers, and photojournalists should respond to the challenges of AI by setting clear standards; media and camera companies have begun developing options to automatically embed (嵌入) metadata and watermarks in photographs to show when an image was taken and whether it’s been manipulated via digital editing or AI alterations. While Ritchin doesn’t call for rejecting AI entirely, he hopes to reinvent the unique power that photography once held in our personal and political lives. Ritchin reflects on a powerful photo that “helped to bring the war to a close faster and a lot of people’s lives were not lost”. He describes this as “a big deal”, but notes that today, people might see such an image and think, “Some 14-year-old in a garage somewhere could have made that.” 8. What change in photography has Fred Ritchin observed over the years? A. The rise of AI and digital techniques in photography. B. The increasing accessibility of photo manipulation tools. C. The evolution from traditional to digital editing techniques. D. The combination of technology and creativity in photography. 9. What does the underlined phrase “out of thin air” in paragraph 2 mean? A. In the absence of a specific origin. B. Without strong supporting evidence. C. From insufficient research foundations. D. Through an accidental process. 10. What can we learn about Ritchin’s view on the impact of AI? A. Digital tools enable the instant creation of realistic visuals. B. Spread of AI imagery strengthens trust in authenticity. C. Journalism should limit its reliance on AI-driven content. D. Setting firm standards is key to maintaining photo credibility. 11. Why does Ritchin mention the war-ending photo? A. To highlight the role of photography in shaping history. B. To express concern about photography losing its impact in the AI era. C. To illustrate the power of war photography in influencing public opinion. D. To demonstrate how AI technology challenges traditional photojournalism. D The rock group Counting Crows were onto something when they chose their band name. Crows can indeed count, according to a recent research publication. Results show crows have counting capacities near those of human toddlers (学步期儿童), says Diana Liao, a researcher in neurobiology at the University of Tübingen. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows don’t appear to be capable of symbolic counting, in which numbers are associated with a particular symbol. This skill is still thought to be unique to humans. Instead, the birds are able to count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发声) they produce to correspond to associated cues — just like young children who have yet to master symbolic counting often do. Scientists have long suspected that some nonhuman species might also have the ability to count by controlling the number of their vocalizations but lacked evidence. In the new study, Liao and her colleagues ran experiments with three carrion crows in a carefully controlled laboratory setting. They presented the birds with randomly ordered cues, four of which were visual — colored Arabic numbers appearing on a touch screen — and four of which were sound-based, including a guitar tone and a drumroll. The birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each cue. If they got it right, they received a worm. If not, they received a time-out. When the birds made errors, they tended to make errors close to the target number — a phenomenon referred to as the numerical distance effect. After receiving 166 to 189 training sessions, all the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations at a level higher than chance. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist, says the new paper is “excellent”. Counting abilities in birds and mammals represent “a spectacular case of convergent brain evolution (趋同脑进化) where both groups came up with virtually the same solution to cognitive challenges posed by life on Earth. As a result, crows learn, remember, plan, act and make mistakes as toddlers do.” 12. What do the results of the research show about crows? A. Crows use vocalizations to communicate. B. Crows are known for forming rock bands. C. Crows are able to distinguish different quantities. D. Crows rely on visual signals to interpret surroundings. 13. How did Liao and her team conduct the experiment with crows? A. By observing crows in the wild. B. By teaching crows to recognize numbers. C. By comparing crows’ behavior to that of toddlers. D By training crows through visual and sound clues. 14. What can be inferred from Onur Güntürkün’s explanation? A. Crows show advanced cognitive abilities like other intelligent animals. B. Birds and mammals found varied ways to address cognitive challenges. C. Crows developed their counting skills by interacting with other species. D. Birds and mammals developed similar counting abilities through evolution. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The influence of crows on popular culture is discussed. B. Crows are the first non-human species proven to count. C. Research on crows reveals insights into animal intelligence. D. Exploring animal intelligence is vital for understanding behavior. 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。 A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. Nearly half of the respondents were affected by such anxiety daily, and three-quarters agreed that “the future is frightening”. Clearly, climate change is not just a threat to the environment that we inhabit. ____16____ Psychologists have categorized these feelings of grief, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency under the label of “eco-anxiety”. ____17____ Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people. It also impacts researchers and those with limited financial resources across the globe. In 2024, eco-anxiety rises to become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. ____18____ Scientists estimate that the world is likely to go beyond safe levels of temperature rise above pre-industrial levels by 2027. In recent years, wildfires have torn through Canada and Greece, and floods have destroyed regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. ____19____ Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, warns that the feelings of worry, sorrow and despair associated with eco-anxiety should not be labeled as a medical condition. After all, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and understandable reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can motivate people to act in protection of our planet. This is why more people are expected to join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that fund them to rapidly phase out the usage of polluting coal, oil, and gas. ____20____ We will deal with it by taking action. A. The reasons are obvious. B. Concerns about mental health are growing worldwide. C. It also poses a very real threat to our emotional well-being. D. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with treatment. E. Hopefully, eco-anxiety will inspire more discussions about future solutions. F. It is defined as heightened emotional and mental distress due to climate change. G. Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will offer a way to address the climate crisis head-on. 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。 “Mom, thanks for making barbecued meatballs and rice,” said Betsy with misty eyes.

The festive spirit seemed to have taken a break, leaving behind an air of stillness. Mia, a shy and reserved girl, sat at her desk, staring out the window, lost in thought. Her heart was heavy with sadness and regret. Two weeks ago, she had argued with her best friend and classmate, Jack, over something that now seemed no big deal — a disagreement about their holiday plans. Jack wanted to go skiing with his family in the mountains, while Mia insisted on staying home with her beloved pet dog, Max. What had started as a minor difference of opinion quickly blew up into a big argument, and they hadn’t spoken since. Mia loved Max more than anything. He had been her faithful companion since childhood, always there with a wagging tail, walking with her and offering her comfort whenever she felt lonely or afraid. With her parents often busy with work, it was Max who filled the empty spaces in her life. This holiday season, especially, she felt the need to be close to him. It had become a tradition for Mia to spend her holidays nestled up to Max, watching old movies and enjoying the quiet companionship they shared. But during their argument, Jack had called her selfish, accusing her of never wanting to try new things or go on adventures like everyone else. His biting words had cut deep, and Mia had walked away, too hurt and too proud to respond. As the days passed, festive decorations filled the streets, and holiday cheer seemed to surround her, but Mia couldn’t shake her loneliness. Her classmates excitedly discussed their plans, and laughter bounced along the hallways. Everyone seemed joyful — everyone except Mia. She missed Jack terribly. She missed how he could make her laugh, their inside jokes, and their late-night conversations about everything under the sun. But her pride kept her from reaching out. She told herself she wasn’t ready to apologize, even though deep down, she longed to fix their friendship. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Then, on a cold Saturday morning, there was a knock at her door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inside the box was a red scarf, perfect for Max to wear during their winter walks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年河北昌黎第一中学高三年级第四次模拟考试 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1．What are the speakers trying to decide?

A few weeks ago I was at the supermarket in need of a trolley (手推车). To unlock one, a $1 or $2 coin was needed but I’ve never got change because who carries coins anymore? I was swearing at the trolley using words that would embarrass a convention of London street sweepers. I must have looked slightly mad, abusing the trolley. A young woman appeared and handed me a $2 coin. “I can’t possibly,” I said. “How can I repay you?” “You don’t need to. Just give it to the next person you see who needs it. Someone else gave it to me when I needed a trolley.” The kindness of perfect strangers can really stop you in your tracks sometimes. 4. Which best explains the phrase “set him off” in paragraph 1? A. Cause him to lose his temper. B. Encourage him to help others. C. Remind him to clean the rubbish. D. Make him leave the neighborhood. 5. What was the street sweeper’s intention in putting money into the parking meters? A. To gain attention from the public. B. To help people avoid parking tickets. C. To earn extra money from the device. D. To avoid getting in trouble with his boss. 6. How did the author feel about needing a coin for the trolley? A. Curious. B. Disappointed. C. Frustrated. D. Grateful. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Bitterness of Urban Life B. Unspoken Trust of Strangers C. Subtle Power of Small Gestures D. Politeness in Everyday Interactions 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者在伦敦观察一位街道清洁工从不满到默默为停车计时器投币帮助他人，以及作者在超市需要硬币时得到陌生女子帮助的故事，展现了小善举的力量。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“His anger was, at times, a little frightening. I’d observe him cautiously, and I would often cross the road to escape his verbal abuse. Glancing at him the wrong way could set him off, so I’d always try not to look directly at him if we crossed paths.(他的愤怒有时有点吓人。我会小心翼翼地观察他，还常常穿过马路以避开他的辱骂。用不当的方式看他一眼就可能set him off，所以如果我们在路上相遇，我总是尽量不直视他)”可知，这位清洁工容易发怒，作者刻意避开他的目光，因为错误的眼神可能会引发他的怒气，“set him off”在这里的意思是“惹恼他，使他发脾气”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He was feeding coins into a parking meter, apparently to prevent owners of parked cars whose payments had run out from getting fined.(他往停车计时器里投硬币，显然是为了防止停车费已用完的车主被罚款)”可知，清洁工往停车计时器里投硬币的目的是帮助人们避免停车罚单。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“To unlock one, a $1 or $2 coin was needed but I’ve never got change because who carries coins anymore? I was swearing at the trolley using words that would embarrass a convention of London street sweepers.(要解锁一辆手推车，需要1美元或2美元的硬币，但我从来没有零钱，因为现在谁还带硬币呢？我对着手推车骂骂咧咧，用的脏话连伦敦街头清洁工大会的人听了都会觉得尴尬)”可以推断，作者对手推车需要硬币这件事感到非常沮丧。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章主要讲述了作者在伦敦遇到的一个清洁工，他虽然平时看起来脾气不好，但却经常默默地帮助别人，比如往停车计时器里投硬币以防止车主被罚款。另外，作者自己在超市需要手推车时也得到了一个陌生人的帮助。这些小事都展现了微小善举的力量——清洁工看似暴躁却隐藏着善良，陌生人的一枚硬币传递着温暖。因此，选项C“Subtle Power of Small Gestures(微小举动的微妙力量)”最能概括文章的主旨，是合适的标题。故选C。 C Fred Ritchin has been thinking about the future of the photograph for nearly half a century. He started to notice changes to the medium in 1982, working as a picture editor at The New York Times magazine; in 1984 he wrote an article for the magazine, “Photography’s New Bag of Tricks”, about the consequences of digital editing technology in contemporary photojournalism. In the decades since, he’s witnessed the shift from the early days of digital photo editing to AI imagery, in which amateur and professional users alike can use digital services to instantly generate realistic visuals. As AI images become increasingly common, Ritchin feels people need to find new ways to confirm that they can believe what they see. Of course, AI imagery hasn’t appeared out of thin air. In the early days of digital editing, National Geographic was criticized for digitally moving the Pyramids closer together for its February 1982 cover image. Today National Geographic photographers are required to shoot in RAW format — a setting that produces unprocessed images — and the magazine has a strict policy against photo manipulation (篡改). Ritchin’s view is that editors, publishers, and photojournalists should respond to the challenges of AI by setting clear standards; media and camera companies have begun developing options to automatically embed (嵌入) metadata and watermarks in photographs to show when an image was taken and whether it’s been manipulated via digital editing or AI alterations. While Ritchin doesn’t call for rejecting AI entirely, he hopes to reinvent the unique power that photography once held in our personal and political lives. Ritchin reflects on a powerful photo that “helped to bring the war to a close faster and a lot of people’s lives were not lost”. He describes this as “a big deal”, but notes that today, people might see such an image and think, “Some 14-year-old in a garage somewhere could have made that.” 8. What change in photography has Fred Ritchin observed over the years? A. The rise of AI and digital techniques in photography. B. The increasing accessibility of photo manipulation tools. C. The evolution from traditional to digital editing techniques. D. The combination of technology and creativity in photography. 9. What does the underlined phrase “out of thin air” in paragraph 2 mean? A. In the absence of a specific origin. B. Without strong supporting evidence. C. From insufficient research foundations. D. Through an accidental process. 10. What can we learn about Ritchin’s view on the impact of AI? A. Digital tools enable the instant creation of realistic visuals. B. Spread of AI imagery strengthens trust in authenticity. C. Journalism should limit its reliance on AI-driven content. D. Setting firm standards is key to maintaining photo credibility. 11. Why does Ritchin mention the war-ending photo? A. To highlight the role of photography in shaping history. B. To express concern about photography losing its impact in the AI era. C. To illustrate the power of war photography in influencing public opinion. D. To demonstrate how AI technology challenges traditional photojournalism. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。Fred Ritchin见证摄影从传统到AI的转变，认为需制定标准应对AI挑战，担忧AI时代摄影失去可信度与影响力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the decades since, he’s witnessed the shift from the early days of digital photo editing to AI imagery, in which amateur and professional users alike can use digital services to instantly generate realistic visuals.(此后数十年间，他见证了从早期的数字图片编辑到人工智能图像的转变，如今无论是业余用户还是专业用户都能通过数字服务即时生成逼真的图像)”可知，弗雷德·里奇恩多年来在摄影方面观察到从传统编辑技术到数字编辑技术的演变。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“In the early days of digital editing, National Geographic was criticized for digitally moving the Pyramids closer together for its February 1982 cover image.(在数字编辑的早期阶段，国家地理杂志因在1982年2月的封面图片中通过数字手段将金字塔的位置调整得更近而受到了批评)”可知，后用《国家地理》1982年篡改照片的例子说明数字编辑早有先例，说明AI图像并非凭空出现，A 选项“没有特定起源”符合“并非凭空产生”的语境。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Ritchin’s view is that editors, publishers, and photojournalists should respond to the challenges of AI by setting clear standards(里奇恩的观点是，编辑、出版商和摄影记者应当通过制定明确的标准来应对人工智能带来的挑战)”可知，制定明确的标准对于保持照片的可信度至关重要。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ritchin reflects on a powerful photo that “helped to bring the war to a close faster and a lot of people’s lives were not lost”. He describes this as “a big deal”, but notes that today, people might see such an image and think, “Some 14-year-old in a garage somewhere could have made that.”(里奇恩回顾了一张极具影响力的照片，这张照片“帮助战争更快地结束，而且很多人的人生得以保全”。他称这是一件“大事”，但他也指出，如今人们看到这样的照片可能会想：“某个在某个车库里、年仅 14 岁的孩子就能拍出这样的照片。”)”可知，里奇恩提及那张战争结束的照片旨在表达对在人工智能时代，摄影失去其影响力这一现象的担忧。故选B。 D The rock group Counting Crows were onto something when they chose their band name. Crows can indeed count, according to a recent research publication. Results show crows have counting capacities near those of human toddlers (学步期儿童), says Diana Liao, a researcher in neurobiology at the University of Tübingen. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows don’t appear to be capable of symbolic counting, in which numbers are associated with a particular symbol. This skill is still thought to be unique to humans. Instead, the birds are able to count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发声) they produce to correspond to associated cues — just like young children who have yet to master symbolic counting often do. Scientists have long suspected that some nonhuman species might also have the ability to count by controlling the number of their vocalizations but lacked evidence. In the new study, Liao and her colleagues ran experiments with three carrion crows in a carefully controlled laboratory setting. They presented the birds with randomly ordered cues, four of which were visual — colored Arabic numbers appearing on a touch screen — and four of which were sound-based, including a guitar tone and a drumroll. The birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each cue. If they got it right, they received a worm. If not, they received a time-out. When the birds made errors, they tended to make errors close to the target number — a phenomenon referred to as the numerical distance effect. After receiving 166 to 189 training sessions, all the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations at a level higher than chance. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist, says the new paper is “excellent”. Counting abilities in birds and mammals represent “a spectacular case of convergent brain evolution (趋同脑进化) where both groups came up with virtually the same solution to cognitive challenges posed by life on Earth. As a result, crows learn, remember, plan, act and make mistakes as toddlers do.” 12 What do the results of the research show about crows? A. Crows use vocalizations to communicate. B. Crows are known for forming rock bands. C. Crows are able to distinguish different quantities. D. Crows rely on visual signals to interpret surroundings. 13. How did Liao and her team conduct the experiment with crows? A. By observing crows in the wild. B. By teaching crows to recognize numbers. C. By comparing crows’ behavior to that of toddlers. D. By training crows through visual and sound clues. 14. What can be inferred from Onur Güntürkün’s explanation? A. Crows show advanced cognitive abilities like other intelligent animals. B. Birds and mammals found varied ways to address cognitive challenges. C. Crows developed their counting skills by interacting with other species. D. Birds and mammals developed similar counting abilities through evolution. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The influence of crows on popular culture is discussed. B Crows are the first non-human species proven to count. C. Research on crows reveals insights into animal intelligence. D. Exploring animal intelligence is vital for understanding behavior. 【答案】12.

Nearly half of the respondents were affected by such anxiety daily, and three-quarters agreed that “the future is frightening”. Clearly, climate change is not just a threat to the environment that we inhabit. ____16____ Psychologists have categorized these feelings of grief, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency under the label of “eco-anxiety”. ____17____ Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people. It also impacts researchers and those with limited financial resources across the globe. In 2024, eco-anxiety rises to become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. ____18____ Scientists estimate that the world is likely to go beyond safe levels of temperature rise above pre-industrial levels by 2027. In recent years, wildfires have torn through Canada and Greece, and floods have destroyed regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. ____19____ Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, warns that the feelings of worry, sorrow and despair associated with eco-anxiety should not be labeled as a medical condition. After all, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and understandable reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can motivate people to act in protection of our planet. This is why more people are expected to join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that fund them to rapidly phase out the usage of polluting coal, oil, and gas. ____20____ We will deal with it by taking action. A. The reasons are obvious. B. Concerns about mental health are growing worldwide. C. It also poses a very real threat to our emotional well-being. D. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with treatment. E. Hopefully, eco-anxiety will inspire more discussions about future solutions. F.

The festive spirit seemed to have taken a break, leaving behind an air of stillness. Mia, a shy and reserved girl, sat at her desk, staring out the window, lost in thought. Her heart was heavy with sadness and regret. Two weeks ago, she had argued with her best friend and classmate, Jack, over something that now seemed no big deal — a disagreement about their holiday plans. Jack wanted to go skiing with his family in the mountains, while Mia insisted on staying home with her beloved pet dog, Max. What had started as a minor difference of opinion quickly blew up into a big argument, and they hadn’t spoken since. Mia loved Max more than anything. He had been her faithful companion since childhood, always there with a wagging tail, walking with her and offering her comfort whenever she felt lonely or afraid. With her parents often busy with work, it was Max who filled the empty spaces in her life. This holiday season, especially, she felt the need to be close to him. It had become a tradition for Mia to spend her holidays nestled up to Max, watching old movies and enjoying the quiet companionship they shared. But during their argument, Jack had called her selfish, accusing her of never wanting to try new things or go on adventures like everyone else. His biting words had cut deep, and Mia had walked away, too hurt and too proud to respond. As the days passed, festive decorations filled the streets, and holiday cheer seemed to surround her, but Mia couldn’t shake her loneliness. Her classmates excitedly discussed their plans, and laughter bounced along the hallways. Everyone seemed joyful — everyone except Mia. She missed Jack terribly. She missed how he could make her laugh, their inside jokes, and their late-night conversations about everything under the sun. But her pride kept her from reaching out. She told herself she wasn’t ready to apologize, even though deep down, she longed to fix their friendship. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Then, on a cold Saturday morning, there was a knock at her door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inside the box was a red scarf, perfect for Max to wear during their winter walks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, on a cold Saturday morning, there was a knock at her door. Mia opened it curiously. To her surprise, it was Jack, standing there with a big box in his hands. His face was a bit red from the cold, and he looked a little nervous. “Hi, Mia,” he said softly. “I’m really sorry about what I said. I’ve missed you these days. I know I was wrong to call you selfish. I hope you can forgive me.” Mia was speechless for a moment, her eyes filled with a mix of shock and joy. Inside the box was a red scarf, perfect for Max to wear during their winter walks. Jack explained that he had made it himself, spending hours knitting it with love. He said he wanted to show that he respected her love for Max and their traditions. Touched by his gesture, Mia’s heart melted. “I’m sorry too,” she said with a tear in her eye. “I should have been more understanding. I’ve missed you so much.” They hugged tightly, and in that moment, their friendship was mended, stronger than ever. The holiday spirit finally found its way back into Mia’s heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了假期想和小狗Max呆一起的Mia和Jack在假期前因假期计划产生分歧而争吵，之后Mia感到孤独和后悔，最终Jack主动道歉并送上自己亲手织的围巾作为和解的礼物，两人重归于好的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，在一个寒冷的周六早晨，有人敲响了她家的门。”以及第二段首句内容“盒子里是一条红色围巾，正适合Max在冬日散步时戴。”可知，第一段可描写Mia发现是Jack站在门口，Jack向Mia道了歉，同时递给Mia一个盒子。 ②由第二段首句内容“盒子里是一条红色围巾，正适合Max在冬日散步时戴。”可知，第二段可描写Mia非常感动，两人重归于好。 2.续写线索：一个寒冷的早餐，有人敲门——Mia打开门后，发现是Jack站在门口——Jack向Mia道了歉，并递给她一个盒子——Mia打开盒子后，发现是一条红色围巾——Jack解释说是自己亲手为Max织的围巾，从而向Mia表明自己尊重Mia的传统——Mia非常感动，于是俩人重归于好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①原谅：forgive/pardon ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③修理：mend/fix 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】I’m really sorry about what I said.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Jack explained that he had made it himself, spending hours knitting it with love.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
