IL Reading Comprehenslon Section A Dlrections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.B. C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Nearly half of the world's land is used for agriculture,with one-third of that going to croplands and two-thirds to rangelands.That's a whole lot of space where trees once grew and people once wandered.As the global population grows,increasing food production without using wore 21 becomes crucial.A potentlal 22 involves some cool science known as "electric farming". 第2夏共10页 In its simplest terms.electric farming is an alternative way of growing produce tha doesn' involve 23 sunlight The science of electrio farming works by placing solar paniols on or near the buildings that absorb radiation from the sun,which will be nsed to 24 a chemical reaction between CO2 and water to produce acetate,a chemical compound that will then be used fo25 the plants in a hydroponie(水培的)environment. The whole point of this new26 is to imptove photosynthesi女（光合作用）ef面ciency, researchers shared."Right now,we are at about 4%efficiency,which is already four times higher than 27 pbotosynthesis.Because everything is more 28 with this method,the CO2 footprint associated with the food production becomes much smaller." 29this metbod relies on genetically engineered plants,like mushrooms,that can eat acetate.In the reseurch-and-developroent phase,it is30 for scientists to get more plants to consume acetate because plants have not evolved to grow this way. This cutting-edge future technology is still in the experimental phase,and only a few states in the US are testing it in real-world settings.So applying it 31 remains a long-term goel.It would also require serious investment to get off the ground,but the 32 are enormous. If the United States food supply was produced via clectric farming,Land usage coula be decreased by88%and food supply chnins would be33 by decentralizing food production. This means potentially 34 land from deforestation and placing indoor farms inban environments,further reducing carbon footprint through lessening the need for distant transportation.Importantly,this system could help stabilize food price by establishing a food system in a 35 environment less affected by severe weather,droughts,and flooding camsed by climate change. 21.A.energy B.land C.fertilizer D.labor 22.A.influence B.outcome C.motivation D.solution 23.A.direct B.strong C.artificial D.gentle 24.A.stop B.reverse C.power D.regulate 25.A.grow B.place C.monitor D.transform 26.A.style B.description C.relationship D.process 27.A.normal B.frequent C.following D.enhanced 28.A.thoughtful B.flexible C.eflicient D.scientifio 29.AMoreover B.Instcad C.Therefore D.Howevar 30.A.chnllenging B.unfair C.important D.rewurding 31.A.on a regular besis B.on a large scale C,in a formal mumner D.in a smart way 32.A.opportuities B.differences C.bonefits D.costs 33.A.rated B.interrupted C.transformed D.simplificd 34.A.locating B.freeing C.cultivating D.epd品g 35.A.naturul B.clean C.controlled D.commarcial 席3可共10页 Section B Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished starements.For each of them there are four cholces marked A.B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have fust read. (A) In February 2022.I began training for the London Marathon,the first and only marathon I wauld ever r in my life.To track my progress,I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that monitored my time and pace.

It can be a delight to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and fuster.I once gotac u f it but at some point i became stick I used to punish myself.I would watch my pace,compare it with other people'or criticiz myself for not mmning 30 seconds faster.I never reay recognized exris tracking as a problem.Itseemed toe that tacking was the route to self-improvered the point was to be better,wasn't it? But in the past year,my idea of"being better"has changed.My mental health declined,and cven simple things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult Being better no longer meant improving my speed or strength.It meant taking care of myself and finding joy in a day.So, I stopped kmy rns,deleting years'worth of data thatomattered tome buto longer held any significance. Since I quit tracking my runs,what has becomo very clear to me is that I genuinely love running.I jog around the local park with a silly little smile on my face.But I don't love running fist and I'm not interested in races.I notice how my legs feel,how my mind feels afterward- clearand focusedInotio the dogs,the smell of wild plants along the canal,and the sushine on my face. 36.How did the author feel after completing the final training run?

Greater openness matters.Working out cxactly how much power Al models use is frustratingly hard.From August 2026 the EU will require some Al developers to report their energy use in detail.Another approach is to rethink how data centres operate.The TEA potes that being able to shift workloads between different data centres at different times could reduce pressure and help balance energy grids.Additionally,tech firms should bold themselves to their own environmental promises.Microsof,for instance,aims to become"carbon negative"by 2030. Some companies,like Amazon,rely heavily on buying renewable-energy credits.This means they provide funds for clean energy projects elsewhere to balance out the pollution from the energy they use. A berter approach might involve tech firms supporting the development nnd expansion of altemative sources,such as nuolear power.Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from a climate suspect to a climate hero. 43.The examples of ChatGPTand Google in parugrapb1are used to A.show rapid development of data centres B.criticize the publie's unfounded fear C.illustrate concerns about AI's electricity consumption D.explain AI's important role in high-tech industries 44.According to paragraph 2 and 3,we can conclude that Al's energy consumption A.rises quickly and takes different forms B.keeps stable and ensures marine development C.is predictable and prevents tbe leak of poisonous gas D.is relatively low and helps protect the environment 45.At the end of this passage,the author aims to A.urge determined efforts from companies and authorities B.collect more methods to belp change the nature of Al C.highlight the effectiveness of the current approaches D.boost tech firms'confidence in alterative energy sources 46.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

Male Teachers In Early Education Young children's understanding of gender roles and identity develops rapidly,and research has found that having access to diverse leachers is crucial in this process.Unfortunalely,there is a significant geader imbalanee in the early education workforce in the US. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics(2019),fewer than 3 percent of preschool and kindergarten teachers are men,and this figure has not changed substantially in recent decades. There are many explanations for the shortage of male teachers in early education,but the most practical one has to do with gender stereotypes(划板印象)and the financial needs of today's male teachers.Despite mostly feeling supported by colleagues and family members,many of the male teachers surveyed in a study reported facing social or cultural resistance in their careers,with some parents surprised or concerned that their children had a male teacher.Low income is another major issue that discourages many potential male teachers from entering the field. Researchers claim that traditional hiring approaches for early childhood educators do not address the gender gap in the field They recommend providing young men with opportunities to work with children through training and volunteer programs,targeting groups of meu who are considering a career change,such as fathers. Over 70%of male educators noted that an increased salary was a major motivating factor for them to stay in the field.The researchers suggest paying early childhood educators the way elementary scbool teacbers are paid.The goverment should also establish support groups for male early childhood educators and provide professional development advice for male educators and their program leaders. In this way,male representation in early childhood education can bo increased,and children will benefit from diverse role models. 第9页共10页 IV.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English.using the words given in the brackets. 52.有几百名运动员出席了足球饷标赛的开幕式。(present) 53.如果人选校辩论社。你打算怎么庆祝呢？(@te四d S4.随着可持续时尚的兴起，生态品牌受到了更多消费者的青藤。(W仙) 55.为了纪念这位有影响力的发明家，据说明年将会在甘部举办一次展览，向公众展示他 的非凡贡献。(nemory) V.Gulded Writing Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是明启中学的高二学生李明。你们学校英语报开设了一个·心灵师站”专栏， 你的校友Ana发出客询，请根据她的来信写封回信。内容需包括： 】,提出你的建议！ 2说明你的理由.

Summary Writing 参考答案： The proportion of male teachers in early education is too small in the US. The most practical reason relates to gender stereotypes and economic needs of male teachers. One study finds that male teachers encounter strong resistance and low salary. The number of male teachers can be boosted by offering training opportunities, raising salaries, and offering assistance and career advancement. 评分标准：本题满分10分。 IV.
