McCabe a passionate runner and animation (动画制作) lover, set out on a journey in January to create a popular video of a dancing stick figure. He made it using the popular GPS-tracking app Strava, which allows runners, cyclists, hikers and walkers to record their paths.
During ten months, McCabe performed 120 runs and recorded the paths. And then he used video-editing software to connect all the paths together, presenting a hat-wearing stick figure dancing to the song Purple Hat across the streets of Toronto. McCabe’s video is part of a growing movement known as GPS art. What sets his work apart is that it is in motion (运动). Rather than just one piece of unmoving GPS art, which typically includes mapping out a path ahead of time in a particular shape and then performing the ride or run, McCabe’s video is a collection of many runs, requiring detailed planning.
While the dancing man might look simple, creating it was complex. Many of the runs were about 6 miles, but some were longer or shorter. “You need to have a lot of images per second in order to present motion naturally,” said McCabe.
“The inspiration for this generally comes from Strava art,” said McCabe, who had seen other people experiment with creating GPS designs, but none that were in a video form. “As far as I know, it’s an original idea. I’m pioneering Strava animation. The project was deeply enjoyable. It’s creativity coming from unexpected sources.”
Other Strava artists say they do it for the same reason. “You’re exercising your brain and your body at the same time. To mark the 2024 Summer Olympics, I drew the image of an athlete and the Olympic rings over London by cycling 264 miles in one go, which was extremely tiring,” said Nicholas Georgiou, 59, a Strava artist and cyclist based in Central London. “I like to create things even when it means pushing myself during tough tasks, and I just find my bicycle is like my pencil. It feels good to be able to get out and achieve something,” he added.
24. What is a key feature of McCabe’s video of a dancing stick figure?
A. It includes various dance styles. B. It connects music with GPS tracking.
C. It mainly serves experienced runners. D. It turns running routes into moving art.
25. What primary difficulty did McCabe face in creating the video?
A. To record various running speeds. B. To find suitable filming locations.
C. To plan long paths with a GPS app. D. To ensure smooth movement effects.
26. What is McCabe’s contribution to the field of GPS art?
A. Making GPS art creation easier. B. Introducing a fresh way to present art.
C. Spreading traditional mapping techniques. D. Using GPS technology for fitness tracking.
27. How does Nicholas Georgiou view the process of creating Strava art?
A. It is challenging yet meaningful. B. It requires cooperative efforts.
C. It is professional and competitive. D. It leads to improved city planning.
C
Like dogs, wolves can recognize and respond to the voices of familiar humans more than those of strangers, according to a recent study. The research challenges the belief that dogs’ ability to differentiate human voices is due to selective breeding (选择性繁殖).
Holly Root Gutteridge and colleagues carried out experiments across five zoos and wildlife parks in Spain, involving a total of 24 gray wolves. The team set up speakers and first played the animals the voice of a number of strangers. Then, they played the wolves the voice of their keeper who would say familiar things to them in Spanish, such as “Hey, what’s up, wolves?” The wolves raised their heads, pricked their ears up, and turned toward the speaker. To test that the effect wasn’t accidental, the researchers went back to playing the wolves recordings of strangers and found that they once more lost interest. Finally, to make sure that the wolves truly knew their keepers’ voices, the team mixed things up and had the keepers say a series of unfamiliar phrases. Once more, the results held up.
Root Gutteridge pointed out the significance of wolves being able to differentiate between humans, despite the fact that our species went our separate evolutionary (进化的) ways tens of millions of years ago.
Before this, there had been a limited number of studies on the topic of how animals differentiate between the vocalizations (发声) of other species. Research has shown that our close cousins, gorillas, listen to people, but that was expected.
Given the new finding, “chances are that lots of species are listening to us and getting to know us as individuals,” Root Gutteridge said. “And it’s not all about us. Dogs could be listening to the neighbors’ cats and understanding the difference between one meow or the other. If the abilities are that general, it means that animals might be having a lot more cross-species interactions than we had thought about before.”
28. What established viewpoint does the recent research question?
A. Wolves cannot understand human languages.
B. Wolves recognize the voices of humans better than dogs.
C. Dogs are the only animals that can differentiate human voices.
D. Selective breeding enables dogs to differentiate human voices.
29. How did the researchers test if the wolves truly recognized their keepers’ voices?
A. By asking strangers to reproduce the keepers’ voices.
B. By letting the keepers say unfamiliar phrases in Spanish.
C. By changing the playback speed of the keepers’ recordings.
D. By playing recordings of strangers speaking familiar phrases.
30. Why are gorillas mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To stress their close relationship with humans.
B. To offer additional evidence for the recent study.
C. To point out another species that can differentiate voices.
D. To explain how animals’ ability to differentiate humans’ voices developed.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The focus of the future studies. B. The limitations of the research.
C. The significance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the experiments.
D
Jeffrey Boakye, a writer and teacher from London, is right to think that the stories we tell our children shape their future values. Recent research from the End Sexism in Schools campaign also established that children in the UK are still living off a worryingly limited diet of male authors and male main characters.
Our research confirms that the novels Boakye mentions in his recent article are in the top five most taught in years 7 to 9. But boys need to be taught to listen to and respect female voices as powerful, and to be empathetic to the viewpoints of women and girls. This is essential in tackling one of the root causes of male violence against women and girls. And girls need to be taught that our expectations of them are not tied to life-denying gender stereotypes (性别刻板印象).
English literature could be taught by allowing teachers and students to decide together, exploring relevant and important themes, including those Boakye identifies.The techniques of reading, analyzing and understanding can be taught with examples, but all students need not answer the same questions on the same books, in class or in exams. The current system is more convenient for teachers and graders, but it’s also deeply repetitive. Let the kids choose their own texts: It’ll be less boring and we might just learn something in the end.
Parents-challenge your schools to change. Teachers-you have the ability to make these changes. It is our duty as their parents, educators and carers to teach children more books by women, and more books with female main characters and if this means leaving out some of the so-called classics, then so be it.
32. What does the underlined word “empathetic” most probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Approving. B. Enthusiastic.
C. Indifferent. D. Understanding.
33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Teachers and students could do literature research together.
B. More say should be given to students about what to read.
C. The current system benefits students more than teachers.
D. The novels Boakye mentions are boring.
34 What does the author suggest English literature teachers do ?
A. Ask more open-ended questions.
B. Select more materials by females.
C. Focus more on reading techniques.
D. Reduce the use of classic literature.
35. Which of the following could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Challenging gender stereotypes
B. Reading literature for pleasure
C. Enriching the literary diet of children
D. Understanding children’s literature

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。
Cotton or plastic: which kind of bag is better for the environment? Many of us would naturally say that the cotton bag is best, but that might only be true if you use that bag thousands of times. Surprised? Keep reading and we’ll explain.
____36____. Its production releases toxins (毒素), and it’s often discarded (丢弃的) after a single use, leading to more production. Disposed (处理后的) plastic can sit in landfills for centuries or enter the sea, harming wildlife and breaking down into polluting micro plastics.
Because of these factors, many people are reducing their plastic use. ____37____. While cotton bags break down more naturally than plastic, their production uses more energy, water and pesticides. They are also heavier, leading to higher carbon emissions during transport. An article from Columbia University suggests that cotton shopping bags need to be used over 7,000 times before they are more sustainable than plastic ones.
It’s not just about shopping bags. Lightweight plastic components in cars and planes help reduce fuel use and emissions. ____38____, the amount of land, water and chemicals needed to produce enough natural textile s and leather would be enormous. Researchers have been looking to see if carbon could be captured during the production of plastics, reducing the amount in the atmosphere.
One other characteristic of plastic might actually be the key to this issue. ____39____, but it also means it can be used to make items that can be reused again and again. The problem is that we often don’t. Plastic can cause serious harm to the environment, and efforts to throw less of it away can reduce this. ____40____.
A. However, the situation is complex
B. Re-using it more could be one way to achieve this
C. Plastic is undoubtedly harmful to the environment
D. If they are often recycled and turned into new products
E. If we didn’t use so much plastic in clothing and footwear
F. Many people believe that cotton bags are always environmentally friendly
G. The fact that plastic lasts for centuries is what causes much of the environmental harm

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
When I was 15, I won a scholarship to study at a music school in Somerset. I had always dreamed of being a cellist (大提琴手). I practiced every day—getting up at 6 am to work on my music basics, practicing during lunch, and spending extra time with my cello after lessons.
A year later, while preparing for an important competition, I pushed myself too hard. I was playing a difficult piece when I felt something snap (断裂) in my forearm. A sharp, burning pain spread from my hand to my arm. After a few days of no improvement, I began to panic. Weeks went by, and I still couldn’t play or even write properly. Despite seeking medical advice, no effective treatment was provided.
Months passed, and I still had to attend classes with my arm in a support band. All the concerts and competitions I had worked so hard for passed by. Helpless, I began to ask myself: Who was I without my cello? The loss weighed heavily on me, and I was so heartbroken that I had to be hospitalized. My parents were very worried about me.
Then something unexpected happened. I needed a new picture for my work collection, so I booked a photo shoot at a studio. The photographer suggested I photograph with my cello. At first, I wasn’t sure, as I didn’t see myself as a cellist anymore. But I brought it anyway and sat down for the photos.
As he took pictures, the photographer became excited. He said joyfully, “This is it! You light up with the instrument.” His words, along with the familiar feeling of the cell o between my legs, made me realize something. Through the camera, I didn’t look like a heartbroken musician—I looked like someone connected to a living art. The photographer encouraged me to explore different poses, reminding me, “The music is still inside you.”
That moment gave me a sense of peace and hope. Maybe I hadn’t lost my identity—I was just waiting to rediscover it.
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。
With that in mind, I began a treatment plan that included targeted exercises.

McCabe, a passionate runner and animation (动画制作) lover, set out on a journey in January to create a popular video of a dancing stick figure. He made it using the popular GPS-tracking app Strava, which allows runners, cyclists, hikers and walkers to record their paths.
During ten months, McCabe performed 120 runs and recorded the paths. And then he used video-editing software to connect all the paths together, presenting a hat-wearing stick figure dancing to the song Purple Hat across the streets of Toronto. McCabe’s video is part of a growing movement known as GPS art. What sets his work apart is that it is in motion (运动). Rather than just one piece of unmoving GPS art, which typically includes mapping out a path ahead of time in a particular shape and then performing the ride or run, McCabe’s video is a collection of many runs, requiring detailed planning.
While the dancing man might look simple, creating it was complex. Many of the runs were about 6 miles, but some were longer or shorter. “You need to have a lot of images per second in order to present motion naturally,” said McCabe.
“The inspiration for this generally comes from Strava art,” said McCabe, who had seen other people experiment with creating GPS designs, but none that were in a video form. “As far as I know, it’s an original idea. I’m pioneering Strava animation. The project was deeply enjoyable. It’s creativity coming from unexpected sources.”
Other Strava artists say they do it for the same reason. “You’re exercising your brain and your body at the same time. To mark the 2024 Summer Olympics, I drew the image of an athlete and the Olympic rings over London by cycling 264 miles in one go, which was extremely tiring,” said Nicholas Georgiou, 59, a Strava artist and cyclist based in Central London. “I like to create things even when it means pushing myself during tough tasks, and I just find my bicycle is like my pencil. It feels good to be able to get out and achieve something,” he added.
24. What is a key feature of McCabe’s video of a dancing stick figure?
A. It includes various dance styles. B. It connects music with GPS tracking.
C. It mainly serves experienced runners. D. It turns running routes into moving art.
25. What primary difficulty did McCabe face in creating the video?
A. To record various running speeds. B. To find suitable filming locations.
C. To plan long paths with a GPS app. D. To ensure smooth movement effects.
26. What is McCabe’s contribution to the field of GPS art?
A. Making GPS art creation easier. B. Introducing a fresh way to present art.
C. Spreading traditional mapping techniques. D. Using GPS technology for fitness tracking.
27. How does Nicholas Georgiou view the process of creating Strava art?
A. It is challenging yet meaningful. B. It requires cooperative efforts.
C. It is professional and competitive. D. It leads to improved city planning.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了麦凯布利用GPS追踪应用程序Strava,将跑步路线变成动态艺术视频的创作过程,同时也提到了其他Strava艺术家创作的原因。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“What sets his work apart is that it is in motion (运动). Rather than just one piece of unmoving GPS art, which typically includes mapping out a path ahead of time in a particular shape and then performing the ride or run, McCabe’s video is a collection of many runs, requiring detailed planning.(使他的作品与众不同的是它是动态的。与通常只是提前规划出特定形状的路线然后进行骑行或跑步的静态GPS艺术不同,麦凯布的视频是许多次跑步的集合,需要详细的规划)”可知,麦凯布的跳舞简笔画小人视频的关键特征是它将跑步路线变成了动态艺术。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘You need to have a lot of images per second in order to present motion naturally,’ said McCabe.(麦凯布说:“为了自然地呈现运动,你每秒需要有很多图像。”)”可知,麦凯布在创作视频时面临的主要困难是需要用很多图像来确保自然流畅的运动效果。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘The inspiration for this generally comes from Strava art,’ said McCabe, who had seen other people experiment with creating GPS designs, but none that were in a video form. ‘As far as I know, it’s an original idea. I’m pioneering Strava animation. The project was deeply enjoyable. It’s creativity coming from unexpected sources.’(麦凯布说:“这种设计的灵感通常来自Strava艺术。”他曾见过其他人尝试制作GPS设计,但没有一个是视频形式的。“据我所知,这是一个原创的想法。我正在开创Strava动画。这个项目非常有趣。这是来自意想不到来源的创造力。”)”可知,麦凯布对GPS艺术领域的贡献是引入了一种全新的艺术呈现方式。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘You’re exercising your brain and your body at the same time. To mark the 2024 Summer Olympics, I drew the image of an athlete and the Olympic rings over London by cycling 264 miles in one go, which was extremely tiring,’ said Nicholas Georgiou, 59, a Strava artist and cyclist based in Central London. ‘I like to create things even when it means pushing myself during tough tasks, and I just find my bicycle is like my pencil. It feels good to be able to get out and achieve something,’ he added.(“你同时锻炼了大脑和身体。为纪念2024年夏季奥运会,我骑着自行车一口气骑行了264英里,在伦敦上空‘画’出了一幅运动员和奥运五环的图案,这简直累坏了,”59岁的尼古拉斯·乔治乌说道。他是一名Strava艺术家兼自行车手,现居伦敦市中心。“我喜欢创造,即使这意味着要在艰难的任务中逼自己一把。我觉得我的自行车就像我的铅笔,能出门完成这样的作品感觉很棒,”他补充道)”可知,尼古拉斯·乔治乌认为创作Strava艺术虽然具有挑战性,但很有意义。故选A项。
C
Like dogs, wolves can recognize and respond to the voices of familiar humans more than those of strangers, according to a recent study. The research challenges the belief that dogs’ ability to differentiate human voices is due to selective breeding (选择性繁殖).
Holly Root Gutteridge and colleagues carried out experiments across five zoos and wildlife parks in Spain, involving a total of 24 gray wolves. The team set up speakers and first played the animals the voice of a number of strangers. Then, they played the wolves the voice of their keeper who would say familiar things to them in Spanish, such as “Hey, what’s up, wolves?” The wolves raised their heads, pricked their ears up, and turned toward the speaker. To test that the effect wasn’t accidental, the researchers went back to playing the wolves recordings of strangers and found that they once more lost interest. Finally, to make sure that the wolves truly knew their keepers’ voices, the team mixed things up and had the keepers say a series of unfamiliar phrases. Once more, the results held up.
Root Gutteridge pointed out the significance of wolves being able to differentiate between humans, despite the fact that our species went our separate evolutionary (进化的) ways tens of millions of years ago.
Before this, there had been a limited number of studies on the topic of how animals differentiate between the vocalizations (发声) of other species. Research has shown that our close cousins, gorillas, listen to people, but that was expected.
Given the new finding, “chances are that lots of species are listening to us and getting to know us as individuals,” Root Gutteridge said. “And it’s not all about us. Dogs could be listening to the neighbors’ cats and understanding the difference between one meow or the other. If the abilities are that general, it means that animals might be having a lot more cross-species interactions than we had thought about before.”
28. What established viewpoint does the recent research question?
A. Wolves cannot understand human languages.
B. Wolves recognize the voices of humans better than dogs.
C. Dogs are the only animals that can differentiate human voices.
D. Selective breeding enables dogs to differentiate human voices.
29. How did the researchers test if the wolves truly recognized their keepers’ voices?
A. By asking strangers to reproduce the keepers’ voices.
B. By letting the keepers say unfamiliar phrases in Spanish.
C. By changing the playback speed of the keepers’ recordings.
D. By playing recordings of strangers speaking familiar phrases.
30. Why are gorillas mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To stress their close relationship with humans.
B. To offer additional evidence for the recent study.
C. To point out another species that can differentiate voices.
D. To explain how animals’ ability to differentiate humans’ voices developed.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The focus of the future studies. B. The limitations of the research.
C. The significance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the experiments.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,研究人员对西班牙多家动物园和野生动物公园的24只灰狼进行实验,发现狼能识别熟悉人类的声音,挑战了狗识别声音源于选择性繁殖的观点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The research challenges the belief that dogs’ ability to differentiate human voices is due to selective breeding (选择性繁殖). (这项研究挑战了狗区分人类声音能力是由于选择性繁殖的观点)”可知,这项研究质疑的是选择性繁殖使狗能够区分人类声音这一观点。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then, they played the wolves the voice of their keeper who would say familiar things to them in Spanish, such as ‘Hey, what’s up, wolves?’ The wolves raised their heads, pricked their ears up, and turned toward the speaker. To test that the effect wasn’t accidental, the researchers went back to playing the wolves recordings of strangers and found that they once more lost interest. Finally, to make sure that the wolves truly knew their keepers’ voices, the team mixed things up and had the keepers say a series of unfamiliar phrases. Once more, the results held up.(接着,研究人员向狼群播放了饲养员的声音——这些饲养员平时会用西班牙语对它们说些熟悉的话,比如“嘿,狼儿们,怎么样啊?”。狼群立刻抬起头,竖起耳朵,转向声源方向。为了验证这一反应并非偶然,研究者再次播放陌生人的录音,结果狼群又一次失去了兴趣。最后,为确保狼群确实能识别饲养员的声音,团队改变了实验方式:让饲养员说出一系列陌生短语。结果再次得到了验证——狼群依然表现出明显的反应)”可知,研究人员通过让饲养员说不熟悉的西班牙语短语来测试狼是否真的能认出饲养员的声音。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Before this, there had been a limited number of studies on the topic of how animals differentiate between the vocalizations (发声) of other species. Research has shown that our close cousins, gorillas, listen to people, but that was expected. (在此之前,关于动物如何区分其他物种发声的研究数量有限。研究表明,我们的近亲大猩猩会倾听人类说话,但这是意料之中的)”可知,提到大猩猩是为了指出另一种能够区分声音的物种。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Given the new finding, ‘chances are that lots of species are listening to us and getting to know us as individuals,’ Root Gutteridge said. ‘And it’s not all about us. Dogs could be listening to the neighbors’ cats and understanding the difference between one meow or the other. If the abilities are that general, it means that animals might be having a lot more cross species interactions than we had thought about before.’ (鉴于这一新发现,‘很有可能很多物种都在倾听我们并了解我们每一个人,’Root Gutteridge说。‘这并不全与我们有关。狗可能在听邻居家猫的叫声,并能分辨出不同的猫叫声。如果这种能力很普遍,那就意味着动物之间的跨物种互动可能比我们之前想象的要多得多。’)”可知,最后一段主要阐述了这项研究的意义,即动物之间的跨物种互动可能比我们之前想象的要多得多。故选C项。
D
Jeffrey Boakye, a writer and teacher from London, is right to think that the stories we tell our children shape their future values. Recent research from the End Sexism in Schools campaign also established that children in the UK are still living off a worryingly limited diet of male authors and male main characters.
Our research confirms that the novels Boakye mentions in his recent article are in the top five most taught in years 7 to 9. But boys need to be taught to listen to and respect female voices as powerful, and to be empathetic to the viewpoints of women and girls. This is essential in tackling one of the root causes of male violence against women and girls. And girls need to be taught that our expectations of them are not tied to life-denying gender stereotypes (性别刻板印象).
English literature could be taught by allowing teachers and students to decide together, exploring relevant and important themes, including those Boakye identifies.The techniques of reading, analyzing and understanding can be taught with examples, but all students need not answer the same questions on the same books, in class or in exams. The current system is more convenient for teachers and graders, but it’s also deeply repetitive. Let the kids choose their own texts: It’ll be less boring and we might just learn something in the end.
Parents-challenge your schools to change. Teachers-you have the ability to make these changes. It is our duty as their parents, educators and carers to teach children more books by women, and more books with female main characters and if this means leaving out some of the so-called classics, then so be it.
32. What does the underlined word “empathetic” most probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Approving. B. Enthusiastic.
C. Indifferent. D. Understanding.
33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Teachers and students could do literature research together.
B. More say should be given to students about what to read.
C. The current system benefits students more than teachers.
D. The novels Boakye mentions are boring.
34. What does the author suggest English literature teachers do ?
A. Ask more open-ended questions.
B. Select more materials by females.
C. Focus more on reading techniques.
D. Reduce the use of classic literature.
35. Which of the following could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Challenging gender stereotypes
B. Reading literature for pleasure
C. Enriching the literary diet of children
D. Understanding children’s literature
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国的孩子们仍然生活在男性作家和男性主角有限的饮食中,这令人担忧。作为孩子们的父母和教育者们应该做出改变,从而丰富孩子们的文学饮食。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中的“But boys need to be taught to listen to and respect female voices as powerful”(但是,男孩们需要学会倾听和尊重女性的声音,因为女性的声音是有力量的)以及后句“This is essential in tackling one of the root causes of male violence against women and girls. And girls need to be taught that our expectations of them are not tied to life-denying gender stereotypes.”(这对于解决男性暴力侵害妇女和女童的根源之一至关重要。女孩们需要被教导,我们对她们的期望与否定生命的性别刻板印象无关。)故可猜测划线单词empathetic为“感同身受”的意思,结合选项D项Understanding“通情达理的;洞察力强的”意思一致。故选D项。

推理判断题。根据第三段“English literature could be taught by allowing teachers and students to decide together, exploring relevant and important themes, including those Boakye identifies. The techniques of reading, analyzing and understanding can be taught with examples, but all students need not answer the same questions on the same books, in class or in exams. The current system is more convenient for teachers and graders, but it’s also deeply repetitive. Let the kids choose their own texts: It’ll be less boring and we might just learn something in the end.”(英语文学可以通过让教师和学生共同决定来教授,探索相关和重要的主题,包括Boakye所确定的主题。阅读、分析和理解的技巧可以通过例子来教授,但不需要所有的学生都在课堂上或考试中回答同样的问题。目前的系统对老师和评分者来说更方便,但它也非常重复。让孩子们自己选课文:这样就不那么无聊了,而且我们可能最后还能学到一些东西。)可知,从第三段可以推断出关于读什么,应该给学生更多的发言权。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It is our duty as their parents, educators and carers to teach children more books by women, and more books with female main characters and if this means leaving out some of the so-called classics, then so be it.”(作为他们的父母、教育者和照顾者,我们有责任让孩子们读更多女性的书,更多以女性为主角的书,如果这意味着要删去一些所谓的经典,那就删去吧。)可知,作者建议英语文学老师根据女性选择更多的材料。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Recent research from the End Sexism in Schools campaign also established that children in the UK are still living off a worryingly limited diet of male authors and male main characters.”(“消除学校性别歧视”运动最近的研究也表明,英国的孩子们仍然生活在男性作家和男性主角有限的饮食中,这令人担忧。)和最后一段“Parents-challenge your schools to change. Teachers-you have the ability to make these changes. It is our duty as their parents, educators and carers to teach children more books by women, and more books with female main characters and if this means leaving out some of the so-called classics, then so be it.”(家长们——要求你们的学校做出改变。老师们——你们有能力做出这些改变。作为他们的父母、教育者和照顾者,我们有责任让孩子们读更多女性的书,更多以女性为主角的书,如果这意味着要删去一些所谓的经典,那就删去吧。)可知,文章主要讲的是英国的孩子们仍然生活在男性作家和男性主角有限的饮食中,这令人担忧。作为孩子们的父母和教育者们应该做出改变,从而丰富孩子们的文学饮食。故文章最好的标题是“丰富孩子们的文学饮食”。故选C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。
Cotton or plastic: which kind of bag is better for the environment? Many of us would naturally say that the cotton bag is best, but that might only be true if you use that bag thousands of times. Surprised? Keep reading and we’ll explain.
____36____. Its production releases toxins (毒素), and it’s often discarded (丢弃的) after a single use, leading to more production. Disposed (处理后的) plastic can sit in landfills for centuries or enter the sea, harming wildlife and breaking down into polluting micro plastics.
Because of these factors, many people are reducing their plastic use. ____37____. While cotton bags break down more naturally than plastic, their production uses more energy, water and pesticides. They are also heavier, leading to higher carbon emissions during transport. An article from Columbia University suggests that cotton shopping bags need to be used over 7,000 times before they are more sustainable than plastic ones.
It’s not just about shopping bags. Lightweight plastic components in cars and planes help reduce fuel use and emissions. ____38____, the amount of land, water and chemicals needed to produce enough natural textile s and leather would be enormous. Researchers have been looking to see if carbon could be captured during the production of plastics, reducing the amount in the atmosphere.
One other characteristic of plastic might actually be the key to this issue. ____39____, but it also means it can be used to make items that can be reused again and again. The problem is that we often don’t. Plastic can cause serious harm to the environment, and efforts to throw less of it away can reduce this. ____40____.
A. However, the situation is complex
B. Re-using it more could be one way to achieve this
C. Plastic is undoubtedly harmful to the environment
D. If they are often recycled and turned into new products
E. If we didn’t use so much plastic in clothing and footwear
F. Many people believe that cotton bags are always environmentally friendly
G. The fact that plastic lasts for centuries is what causes much of the environmental harm
【答案】36. C 37. A 38. E 39. G 40. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对比棉布袋和塑料袋对环境的影响,指出塑料危害但耐用可重复使用,重复使用是减轻危害的方法。
【36题详解】
由上文“Many of us would naturally say that the cotton bag is best, but that might only be true if you use that bag thousands of times. (我们许多人自然会说棉布袋最好,但这可能只在你使用数千次的情况下才成立。)”可知,此处需引出塑料对环境的危害以展开讨论。C项Plastic is undoubtedly harmful to the environment (塑料无疑对环境有害)直接点明塑料的危害,与后文“Its production releases toxins (毒素), and it’s often discarded (丢弃的) after a single use, leading to more production. Disposed (处理后的) plastic can sit in landfills for centuries or enter the sea, harming wildlife and breaking down into polluting micro plastics. (它的生产会释放毒素,并且经常在一次使用后被丢弃,从而导致更多的生产。废弃的塑料可以在垃圾填埋场放置几个世纪,也可以进入大海,伤害野生动物,分解成污染性的微塑料。)”形成解释说明关系,通过阐述塑料生产、使用及处理环节的环境问题,支撑“塑料有害”的观点。故选C项。
【37题详解】
由上文“Because of these factors, many people are reducing their plastic use. (由于这些因素,许多人正在减少塑料使用。)”及下文“While cotton bags break down more naturally than plastic, their production uses more energy, water and pesticides. They are also heavier, leading to higher carbon emissions during transport. (虽然棉袋比塑料袋更自然地分解,但它们的生产使用了更多的能源、水和杀虫剂。它们也更重,导致运输过程中的碳排放量更高。)”可知,此处需转折引出棉布袋的环境成本。A项However, the situation is complex (然而,情况很复杂)以However转折,complex概括后文“棉布袋生产耗资源”与“需使用7000次才更可持续”的矛盾,打破“棉布袋绝对环保”的认知,衔接上下文对两种袋子的辩证分析。故选A项。
【38题详解】
由下文“the amount of land, water and chemicals needed to produce enough natural textiles and leather would be enormous. (生产足够的天然纺织品和皮革所需的土地、水和化学品数量将是巨大的。)”可知,此处需假设“不使用塑料”的情况以对比论证。E项If we didn’t use so much plastic in clothing and footwear (如果我们在服装和鞋类中不使用这么多塑料)以虚拟条件句引出假设,“natural textiles and leather”对应“plastic in clothing”,通过假设放弃塑料转而依赖天然材料的资源消耗,反衬塑料在某些领域的必要性,形成“假设→后果”的逻辑链条。故选E项。
【39题详解】
由上文“One other characteristic of plastic might actually be the key to this issue. (塑料的另一个特性可能实际上是这个问题的关键。)”及下文“but it also means it can be used to make items that can be reused again and again. (但这也意味着它可以用来制造可以反复使用的物品。)”可知,此处需说明塑料“耐用”特性的双面性。G项The fact that plastic lasts for centuries is what causes much of the environmental harm (塑料能持续数百年的事实是造成许多环境危害的原因)中“lasts for centuries”既解释前文“塑料危害环境”的根源(难降解),又通过but转折引出后文“耐用性可用于重复利用”,体现同一特性的利弊,符合“特性→危害→潜力”的辩证结构。故选G项。
【40题详解】
由上文“Plastic can cause serious harm to the environment, and efforts to throw less of it away can reduce this. (塑料会对环境造成严重危害,减少丢弃塑料的努力可以减轻这种危害。)”可知,此处需提出“减少丢弃”的具体方式。B项Re-using it more could be one way to achieve this (更多地重复使用它可能是实现这一目标的一种方式) 中“Re-using it more”呼应“throw less away”,“achieve this”指代“reduce harm”,通过建议重复使用塑料,将前文“耐用性可重复利用”的潜力转化为具体行动,形成“问题→对策”的衔接。故选B项。

【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:“点翠有两千多年的历史,但很多人对它仍然相对陌生,” 肖广春说,他是中国为数不多的仍使用传统方法制作点翠首饰的大师之一。前后句是转折关系,用“but” 连接,意为“但是”。故填but。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
When I was 15, I won a scholarship to study at a music school in Somerset. I had always dreamed of being a cellist (大提琴手). I practiced every day—getting up at 6 am to work on my music basics, practicing during lunch, and spending extra time with my cello after lessons.
A year later, while preparing for an important competition, I pushed myself too hard. I was playing a difficult piece when I felt something snap (断裂) in my forearm. A sharp, burning pain spread from my hand to my arm. After a few days of no improvement, I began to panic. Weeks went by, and I still couldn’t play or even write properly. Despite seeking medical advice, no effective treatment was provided.
Months passed, and I still had to attend classes with my arm in a support band. All the concerts and competitions I had worked so hard for passed by. Helpless, I began to ask myself: Who was I without my cello? The loss weighed heavily on me, and I was so heartbroken that I had to be hospitalized. My parents were very worried about me.
Then something unexpected happened. I needed a new picture for my work collection, so I booked a photo shoot at a studio. The photographer suggested I photograph with my cello. At first, I wasn’t sure, as I didn’t see myself as a cellist anymore. But I brought it anyway and sat down for the photos.
As he took pictures, the photographer became excited. He said joyfully, “This is it! You light up with the instrument.” His words, along with the familiar feeling of the cell o between my legs, made me realize something. Through the camera, I didn’t look like a heartbroken musician—I looked like someone connected to a living art. The photographer encouraged me to explore different poses, reminding me, “The music is still inside you.”
That moment gave me a sense of peace and hope. Maybe I hadn’t lost my identity—I was just waiting to rediscover it.
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。
With that in mind, I began a treatment plan that included targeted exercises.

I realized that my experience could make a difference to others.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:With that in mind, I began a treatment plan that included targeted exercises. At first, the training only lasted a few minutes and the pain was still present, but I pushed through it. I carefully followed my doctors’ advice, adding simple exercises to my daily routine. The progress was encouraging, which filled my parents with relief and joy. They offered support every step of the way. With each practice, my confidence grew, and I rediscovered the joy of playing the cello. As I gradually regained the use of my arm, I felt stronger, and my connection to music deepened as well.
Paragraph 2:I realized that my experience could make a difference to others. Supported by a community of musicians facing similar challenges, I began sharing my story to offer advice and hope. I started leading workshops and one-on-one lessons, focusing not just on skills but also on emotional strength. Many people expressed gratitude, saying my courage and determination inspired them to keep going even in to ugh times. Seeing their growth gave me great satisfaction. Music became not merely a means of my personal recovery, but a way to lift others’ spirits, reminding us that everything is possible.
