A family member with ID. B It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials. I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. 5. What inspired the author to become a street librarian? A. The kids’ lack of books at home. B. The kids’ request for more stories. C. Her love for reading books on stoops. D. Her curiosity for seeking book deserts. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The causes of book deserts. B. The struggles of a street librarian. C. The challenges of working more jobs. D. The importance of traditional libraries. 7. How does the author help kids in book deserts? A. By lowering book prices. B. By donating money to them. C. By inviting them to schools. D. By providing free books. 8. What can we conclude from the text? A. Street libraries will replace public ones. B. Librarians should reach out to readers. C. Libraries should maintain traditional rules. D. Book deserts exist even in rich areas. C Harry Potter and Star Wars are two of the most successful movie series in history. While they seem different at first sight, they actually share many surprising similarities in their storytelling. Both series tell classic stories about the battle between good and evil in imaginary worlds. They feature young heroes who discover their special abilities and must fight against dark forces. As the stories progress, they become more serious and complex (复杂的). Interestingly, both Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker grow up with relatives before learning about their true destinies (命运). The similarities continue with other characters. Both series have wise old masters. Dumbledore in Harry Potter and Obi-Wan in Star Wars — who guide the young heroes. There are also loyal friends who help the main characters: Ron and Hermione for Harry, Han and Leia for Luke. Even the attacking tools are similar, with wands and lightsabers serving as symbols of the heroes’ power. Some might think these similarities are just coincidences (巧合). However, the truth is that many great stories follow similar patterns. George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, openly said he got ideas from older stories. J.K. Rowling did the same with Harry Potter. This doesn’t mean they copied each other, but shows how certain story types remain popular across generations. Today, these two series continue to influence new movies. Modern films still use many of the same storytelling skills. The main difference now is the technology — today’s movies use computer effects instead of the models used in earlier Star Wars films. But the basic story structures remain similar. Perhaps in the future, when people watch new hit movies, they might say, “This reminds me of Harry Potter or Star Wars.” Good stories have always been retold in new ways, and this tradition will likely continue for many years to come. 9. What do Harry Potter and Star Wars share? A. Creation background. B. Characters of the heroes. C. Producing skills. D. Subject focus. 10. Which is true about the young heroes in the two movies? A. They were born with full powers. B. They are trained by evil forces. C. They fight with great support. D. They know their destinies early on. 11. What can we learn from the text? A. Good story patterns live on. B. Fantasy films lack creativity. C. Young heroes always win easily. D. Computer effects attract film lovers. 12. How might future movies develop? A. By using only physical models. B. By changing past successful stories. C. By creating new imaginary worlds. D. By mixing technology with classics. D New studies show that some birds, such as African grey parrots, can help each other to solve problems. In the past, people believed only humans and some smart animals could do this. To test the parrots’ abilities, scientists created a special experiment. The results surprised everyone — the parrots successfully cooperated to complete the task. In the study, two parrots were placed in side-by-side cages (笼子) with a small hole between them. On one side, a parrot could see a piece of food hidden inside a clear box but could not reach it. The other parrot had a long stick but could not see the food. To succeed, the birds needed to pass the stick through the window so the first parrot could use it to pull the food out. At first, the parrots acted independently, but after several attempts, they learned to team up. One bird would push the stick through the hole, while the other used it as a tool. This showed that they understood each other’s role, and changed their actions accordingly. What makes this behavior even more impressive is that most animals, including many intelligent species, usually act alone when searching for food. For example, while wolves hunt in groups, their actions are driven by instinct (本能) rather than a shared plan. In contrast, the parrots in this study showed clear teamwork, suggesting a higher level of social intelligence. Scientists believe this discovery could change how we understand animal brains. It challenges the idea that only mammals (哺乳动物), like chimpanzees or dolphins, are capable of advanced teamwork. The research also raises new questions: How did birds develop this skill? Do other bird species, like crows or ravens, show similar abilities? Future studies might explore whether environmental factors play a role in these cognitive (认知的) abilities. This finding could even have practical uses. For instance, training birds to cooperate might help in wildlife conservation or improve methods for studying animal behavior. By learning more about how birds think, scientists might develop better ways to protect endangered species or solve ecological (生态) problems. 13. What is striking about the parrots according to the study? A. They can use tools. B. They practise team spirit. C. They learn words quickly. D. They act like most animals. 14. What’s the significance of the finding? A. It further confirms a traditional belief. B. It improves human’s knowledge of animals. C. It offers specific methods for future studies. D. It proves mammals’ social intelligence. 15. What is a possible application of the finding? A. Strengthening birds’ social abilities. B. Teaching other birds to understand each other. C. Bettering ways to study brain functions. D Exploring ecological protection strategies. 16. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To argue about a theory. C. To introduce an experiment. D. To compare animals’ intelligence. E In the fight to control climate change, there are few solutions more discussed than planting lots of trees. It sounds simple enough — trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to grow, so planting more of them should help remove greenhouse gases. The trouble is that tree planting efforts don’t always work as planned. For example, between 1974 and 2012, the Chilean government helped fund the planting of over a million hectares of new trees. Yet a recent study suggests this multi-million-dollar effort resulted in no major carbon storage gains. What went wrong? Chile focused on afforestation (植树造林), the planting of trees in places never home to any forest. It is different from reforestation, the practice of bringing back recently damaged forests. Many governments and international organizations support afforestation in their efforts to meet tree planting goals that require massive amounts of land. In order to keep taking in CO, trees need to grow tall and stay put. Most of Chile’s afforestation funding went to the commercial forestry industry, which greatly enlarged plantations of mostly non-native trees. According to one study, on average, natural forests are 40 times better at carbon storage than plantations. A tall tree can take in up to 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide each year. But plantation trees are harvested. Further, pine and eucalyptus (桉树) — two commonly grown plantation trees — are highly flammable, so gains in carbon storage can quickly go up in smoke. And not all land should be forested. It’s not that we shouldn’t plant more trees. But for the best chance of success, programs should consider which species to plant, which lands to forest, and how to protect the land long-term. Today, Chile chooses to plant native trees. So when is it bad to plant trees? When programs put the wrong trees in the wrong places. The best ways in a greener future are to cut carbon emissions (排放), while protecting these forests from being destroyed in the first place. 17. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By stating a problem. B. Through scientific data. C. With historical facts. D. By making a comparison. 18. What does the underlined word “flammable” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Fast-growing. B. Easy to catch fire. C. Profit-making. D. Able to clean air. 19. What is the author’s attitude to the results of tree-planting programs? A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful. 20. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change Solutions B. Chile’s Afforestation Project C. The Right Way to Plant Trees D. The Need for Native Tree Planting 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的预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。 Purpose is something giving life meaning and contributing positively. ____21____ It also inspires us to influence others and find satisfaction.

I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials. I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. 5. What inspired the author to become a street librarian? A. The kids’ lack of books at home. B. The kids’ request for more stories. C. Her love for reading books on stoops. D. Her curiosity for seeking book deserts. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The causes of book deserts. B. The struggles of a street librarian. C. The challenges of working more jobs. D. The importance of traditional libraries. 7. How does the author help kids in book deserts? A. By lowering book prices. B. By donating money to them. C. By inviting them to schools. D. By providing free books. 8. What can we conclude from the text? A. Street libraries will replace public ones. B. Librarians should reach out to readers. C. Libraries should maintain traditional rules. D. Book deserts exist even in rich areas. 【答案】5. A 6. A 7. D 8. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从公共图书馆馆员转变为街头图书馆员，致力于解决书籍荒漠问题，为孩子们提供免费书籍的故事。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. (“我们家里没有任何书。”他们回答道。这让人很不舒服地想起，有些孩子家里一本书都没有)”以及第三段中“So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. (所以我辞去了工作，走上街头，成为一名街头图书馆员，致力于在传统环境之外增加文学接触机会)”可知，作者成为街头图书馆员的灵感来自于孩子们家里没有书这一事实。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. (书籍荒漠通常出现在经济不发达地区，那里的书店和图书馆数量不足。低收入的邻居可能缺乏从书店买书或支付图书馆罚款的资源。居民可能同时打几份工，或面临困难，这使得去图书馆成为一种额外的压力。身份证明、罚款和费用，尽管看似正常，但对于面临困难的家庭来说可能会变得困难)”可知，本段主要讲述了书籍荒漠形成的原因，包括经济不发达、书店和图书馆数量不足、低收入家庭缺乏资源以及居民面临的多重压力等。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. (因此，我正在以非凡的方式让书籍出现在日常场所。我修理免费的公共图书自动售货机，在街角举办故事时间，并在街区开设免费书店，这样没有麦当劳钱的孩子就不必担心没有书展的钱。你会发现我把书送到你家门口。我已经给生活在书籍荒漠中的孩子们送去了5000本书)”可知，作者通过提供免费书籍来帮助书籍荒漠中的孩子们。故选D。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. (我相信每个人都是读者。他们只是还没有找到合适的书。这就是图书馆员介入的地方。我们必须在他们所在的地方与他们相遇，并引导他们完成这段旅程)”可知，作者认为图书馆员应该主动接触读者，引导他们找到合适的书籍，因此可以得出结论，图书馆员应该主动接触读者。故选B。 C Harry Potter and Star Wars are two of the most successful movie series in history. While they seem different at first sight, they actually share many surprising similarities in their storytelling. Both series tell classic stories about the battle between good and evil in imaginary worlds. They feature young heroes who discover their special abilities and must fight against dark forces. As the stories progress, they become more serious and complex (复杂的). Interestingly, both Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker grow up with relatives before learning about their true destinies (命运). The similarities continue with other characters. Both series have wise old masters. Dumbledore in Harry Potter and Obi-Wan in Star Wars — who guide the young heroes. There are also loyal friends who help the main characters: Ron and Hermione for Harry, Han and Leia for Luke. Even the attacking tools are similar, with wands and lightsabers serving as symbols of the heroes’ power. Some might think these similarities are just coincidences (巧合). However, the truth is that many great stories follow similar patterns. George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, openly said he got ideas from older stories. J.K. Rowling did the same with Harry Potter. This doesn’t mean they copied each other, but shows how certain story types remain popular across generations. Today, these two series continue to influence new movies. Modern films still use many of the same storytelling skills. The main difference now is the technology — today’s movies use computer effects instead of the models used in earlier Star Wars films. But the basic story structures remain similar. Perhaps in the future, when people watch new hit movies, they might say, “This reminds me of Harry Potter or Star Wars.” Good stories have always been retold in new ways, and this tradition will likely continue for many years to come. 9. What do Harry Potter and Star Wars share? A. Creation background. B. Characters of the heroes. C. Producing skills. D. Subject focus. 10. Which is true about the young heroes in the two movies? A. They were born with full powers. B. They are trained by evil forces. C. They fight with great support. D. They know their destinies early on. 11. What can we learn from the text? A. Good story patterns live on. B. Fantasy films lack creativity. C. Young heroes always win easily. D. Computer effects attract film lovers. 12. How might future movies develop? A. By using only physical models. B. By changing past successful stories. C. By creating new imaginary worlds. D. By mixing technology with classics. 【答案】9. D 10. C 11. A 12. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了《哈利·波特》与《星球大战》虽看似不同，却在正邪对抗、英雄成长等故事元素上有诸多相似，且影响现代电影。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Both series tell classic stories about the battle between good and evil in imaginary worlds.(这两个系列都讲述着关于在虚构世界中善与恶之间斗争的经典故事)”可知，这两部作品共同之处在于主题重点。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Both series have wise old masters. Dumbledore in Harry Potter and Obi-Wan in Star Wars — who guide the young heroes. There are also loyal friends who help the main characters: Ron and Hermione for Harry, Han and Leia for Luke.(两个系列中都有睿智的年长导师。《哈利·波特》中的邓布利多和《星球大战》中的欧比旺，他们都为年轻的英雄们提供指引。此外，还有忠诚的朋友助力主角：哈利有罗恩和赫敏，卢克有汉和莱娅)”可知，两个电影中的年轻英雄都是在忠诚的朋友的帮助下战斗的。C选项“他们在强大的支持下战斗”正确。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“This doesn’t mean they copied each other, but shows how certain story types remain popular across generations.(这并不意味着他们相互抄袭，而是表明某些故事类型在不同代际中依然广受欢迎)”及倒数第二段中“Modern films still use many of the same storytelling skills. The main difference now is the technology — today’s movies use computer effects instead of the models used in earlier Star Wars films. But the basic story structures remain similar.(现代电影仍然运用着许多相同的叙事技巧。现在的主要区别在于技术——如今的电影使用电脑特效，而不再像早期的《星球大战》系列那样使用模型。但基本的故事结构仍然相似)”和最后一段中“Good stories have always been retold in new ways, and this tradition will likely continue for many years to come.(好的故事总是以新的方式被重述，这一传统可能会持续很多年)”可推知，从文章中我们可以了解到好的故事模式会一直延续下去。故选A。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Modern films still use many of the same storytelling skills. The main difference now is the technology — today’s movies use computer effects instead of the models used in earlier Star Wars films. But the basic story structures remain similar.(现代电影仍然运用着许多相同叙事技巧。现在的主要区别在于技术——如今的电影使用电脑特效，而不再像早期的《星球大战》系列那样使用模型。但基本的故事结构仍然相似)”和最后一段“Perhaps in the future, when people watch new hit movies, they might say, ‘This reminds me of Harry Potter or Star Wars.’ Good stories have always been retold in new ways, and this tradition will likely continue for many years to come.(也许在未来，当人们观看新的热门电影时，他们可能会说：‘这让我想起了《哈利·波特》或《星球大战》。’好的故事总是以新的方式被重述，这一传统可能会持续很多年)”可推知，未来的电影可能会将技术与经典相结合。故选D。 D New studies show that some birds, such as African grey parrots, can help each other to solve problems. In the past, people believed only humans and some smart animals could do this. To test the parrots’ abilities, scientists created a special experiment. The results surprised everyone — the parrots successfully cooperated to complete the task. In the study, two parrots were placed in side-by-side cages (笼子) with a small hole between them. On one side, a parrot could see a piece of food hidden inside a clear box but could not reach it. The other parrot had a long stick but could not see the food. To succeed, the birds needed to pass the stick through the window so the first parrot could use it to pull the food out. At first, the parrots acted independently, but after several attempts, they learned to team up. One bird would push the stick through the hole, while the other used it as a tool. This showed that they understood each other’s role, and changed their actions accordingly. What makes this behavior even more impressive is that most animals, including many intelligent species, usually act alone when searching for food. For example, while wolves hunt in groups, their actions are driven by instinct (本能) rather than a shared plan. In contrast, the parrots in this study showed clear teamwork, suggesting a higher level of social intelligence. Scientists believe this discovery could change how we understand animal brains. It challenges the idea that only mammals (哺乳动物), like chimpanzees or dolphins, are capable of advanced teamwork. The research also raises new questions: How did birds develop this skill? Do other bird species, like crows or ravens, show similar abilities? Future studies might explore whether environmental factors play a role in these cognitive (认知的) abilities. This finding could even have practical uses. For instance, training birds to cooperate might help in wildlife conservation or improve methods for studying animal behavior. By learning more about how birds think, scientists might develop better ways to protect endangered species or solve ecological (生态的) problems. 13. What is striking about the parrots according to the study? A. They can use tools. B. They practise team spirit. C. They learn words quickly. D. They act like most animals. 14. What’s the significance of the finding? A. It further confirms a traditional belief. B. It improves human’s knowledge of animals. C. It offers specific methods for future studies. D. It proves mammals’ social intelligence. 15. What is a possible application of the finding? A. Strengthening birds’ social abilities. B. Teaching other birds to understand each other. C. Bettering ways to study brain functions. D. Exploring ecological protection strategies. 16. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To argue about a theory. C. To introduce an experiment. D. To compare animals’ intelligence. 【答案】13. B 14. B 15. D 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新研究表明一些鸟类，如非洲灰鹦鹉，能够相互合作解决问题，科学家通过实验验证了这一能力，该发现对理解动物大脑有重要意义且可能有实际应用价值。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At first, the parrots acted independently, but after several attempts, they learned to team up. One bird would push the stick through the hole, while the other used it as a tool. This showed that they understood each other’s role, and changed their actions accordingly. (起初，鹦鹉们独立行动，但经过几次尝试后，它们学会了合作。一只鸟会把棍子从洞里推过去，而另一只则把它当作工具使用。这表明它们理解彼此的角色，并相应地改变自己的行为)”以及第三段“For example, while wolves hunt in groups, their actions are driven by instinct (本能) rather than a shared plan. In contrast, the parrots in this study showed clear teamwork, suggesting a higher level of social intelligence. (例如，虽然狼是群居捕猎，但它们的行动是由本能驱动的，而不是共同的计划。相比之下，本研究中的鹦鹉表现出了明显的团队合作，这表明它们具有更高水平的社会智力)”可知，鹦鹉令人惊讶的地方在于它们能相互配合，有团队精神。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Scientists believe this discovery could change how we understand animal brains. It challenges the idea that only mammals (哺乳动物), like chimpanzees or dolphins, are capable of advanced teamwork. (科学家们认为，这一发现可能会改变我们对动物大脑的理解。它挑战了这样一种观点，即只有像黑猩猩或海豚这样的哺乳动物才能进行高级团队合作)”可知，这一发现的意义在于它改进了人类对动物的认识，让人类对动物大脑有了新的理解。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This finding could even have practical uses. For instance, training birds to cooperate might help in wildlife conservation or improve methods for studying animal behavior. By learning more about how birds think, scientists might develop better ways to protect endangered species or solve ecological (生态的) problems. (这一发现甚至可能有实际用途。例如，训练鸟类合作可能有助于野生动物保护，或改进研究动物行为的方法。通过更多地了解鸟类是如何思考的，科学家们可能会开发出更好的方法来保护濒危物种或解决生态问题)”可知，这一发现可以用来探索生态保护策略。故选D。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“New studies show that some birds, such as African grey parrots, can help each other to solve problems. In the past, people believed only humans and some smart animals could do this. To test the parrots’ abilities, scientists created a special experiment. The results surprised everyone — the parrots successfully cooperated to complete the task. (新的研究表明，一些鸟类，如非洲灰鹦鹉，可以互相帮助解决问题。在过去，人们认为只有人类和一些聪明的动物才能做到这一点。为了测试鹦鹉的能力，科学家们做了一个特别的实验。结果让所有人都大吃一惊 —— 鹦鹉们成功地合作完成了任务)”可知，文章开篇点明新研究显示一些鸟类能相互帮助解决问题，接着讲述了科学家为测试鹦鹉能力所做的实验，包括实验设置、鹦鹉的表现等，所以文章主要目的是介绍这个关于鹦鹉合作能力的实验。故选C。 E In the fight to control climate change, there are few solutions more discussed than planting lots of trees. It sounds simple enough — trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to grow, so planting more of them should help remove greenhouse gases. The trouble is that tree planting efforts don’t always work as planned. For example, between 1974 and 2012, the Chilean government helped fund the planting of over a million hectares of new trees. Yet a recent study suggests this multi-million-dollar effort resulted in no major carbon storage gains. What went wrong? Chile focused on afforestation (植树造林), the planting of trees in places never home to any forest. It is different from reforestation, the practice of bringing back recently damaged forests. Many governments and international organizations support afforestation in their efforts to meet tree planting goals that require massive amounts of land. In order to keep taking in CO, trees need to grow tall and stay put. Most of Chile’s afforestation funding went to the commercial forestry industry, which greatly enlarged plantations of mostly non-native trees. According to one study, on average, natural forests are 40 times better at carbon storage than plantations. A tall tree can take in up to 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide each year. But plantation trees are harvested. Further, pine and eucalyptus (桉树) — two commonly grown plantation trees — are highly flammable, so gains in carbon storage can quickly go up in smoke. And not all land should be forested. It’s not that we shouldn’t plant more trees. But for the best chance of success, programs should consider which species to plant, which lands to forest, and how to protect the land long-term. Today, Chile chooses to plant native trees. So when is it bad to plant trees? When programs put the wrong trees in the wrong places. The best ways in a greener future are to cut carbon emissions (排放), while protecting these forests from being destroyed in the first place. 17. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By stating a problem. B. Through scientific data. C. With historical facts. D. By making a comparison. 18. What does the underlined word “flammable” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Fast-growing. B. Easy to catch fire. C. Profit-making. D. Able to clean air. 19. What is the author’s attitude to the results of tree-planting programs? A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful. 20. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change Solutions B. Chile’s Afforestation Project C. The Right Way to Plant Trees D. The Need for Native Tree Planting 【答案】17. A 18. B 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植树在应对气候变化中的作用，指出并非所有植树项目都有效，关键在于选择合适的树种和地点。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the fight to control climate change, there are few solutions more discussed than planting lots of trees.

Yet a recent study suggests this multi-million-dollar effort resulted in no major carbon storage gains. What went wrong? (在应对气候变化的斗争中，很少有解决方案比大量植树更受热议。这听起来相当简单——树木从大气中吸收二氧化碳以生长，因此多种树应该有助于减少温室气体。问题在于，植树行动并不总是能按计划取得成效。例如，1974年至2012年间，智利政府资助种植了超过100万公顷的新树。然而，最近的一项研究表明，这项耗资数百万美元的努力并未带来显著的碳储存增量。问题出在哪里呢？)”可知，作者通过提出植树工作并不总是按计划进行这一问题来引入文章主题。故选A。 【18题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“A tall tree can take in up to 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide each year. But plantation trees are harvested. Further, pine and eucalyptus (桉树) — two commonly grown plantation trees — are highly flammable, so gains in carbon storage can quickly go up in smoke. (一棵高大的树每年可以吸收高达22公斤的二氧化碳。但种植园的树木被砍伐了。此外，松树和桉树——两种常见的种植园树种——极flammable，因此碳储存的增加很快就会化为乌有)”可知，桉树和松树易燃，所以会导致碳储存的增加很快化为乌有，推测划线词flammable意为“易燃的”。故选B。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet a recent study suggests this multi-million-dollar effort resulted in no major carbon storage gains. (然而，最近的一项研究表明，这项耗资数百万美元的努力并未带来显著的碳储存增量。)”以及第三段中“According to one study, on average, natural forests are 40 times better at carbon storage than plantations. (根据一项研究，平均而言，天然林在碳储存方面的效果是人工林的40倍。)”和最后一段中“So when is it bad to plant trees? When programs put the wrong trees in the wrong places. (那么什么时候植树不好呢？当项目把错误的树种放在错误的地方时。)”可知，作者对植树计划的结果持怀疑态度。故选D。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“So when is it bad to plant trees? When programs put the wrong trees in the wrong places. The best ways in a greener future are to cut carbon emissions (排放), while protecting these forests from being destroyed in the first place. (那么什么时候植树不好呢？当项目把错误的树种放在错误的地方时。在更绿色的未来，最好的方法是减少碳排放，同时首先要保护这些森林不被破坏。)”可知，本文主要讨论了植树在应对气候变化中的作用，指出并非所有植树项目都有效，关键在于选择合适的树种和地点，C选项“The Right Way to Plant Trees (植树的正确方法)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的预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。 Purpose is something giving life meaning and contributing positively. ____21____ It also inspires us to influence others and find satisfaction. Either way, purpose gives life direction or happiness. ____22____ Some always know — wanting to be a doctor or dancer. Others spend time finding it. Then once they do, duties or fear will stop them from going after it wholeheartedly. We often think purpose is one set thing. However, it can be found in small or large ways. ____23____ For example, helping a neighbor brings as much purpose as being an artist. Purpose is personal, depending on what we value. Purpose can also change over time. Graduating college might have been a purpose, but now it’s working to provide for a family. ____24____ Yet for others, purpose remains — like Michael Jordan’s goal to play basketball. Mother Teresa selflessly served the poor. Mark Twain wrote. In the end, it is important to find out what aim or goal brings you a sense of purpose because you can gain both mental and physical benefits. ____25____ We hope it can be helpful for you! Key benefits: ● Stronger motivation in daily life ● Better stress management skills ● Improved life satisfaction ratings Practical ways: ● Reflect on activities that bring you joy ● Identify problems you care deeply about ● Observe when you feel most energized A. But how many know their purpose? B. What gives you a sense of purpose in life? C. We’ve summarized these benefits and tips. D. The following explores the tips of finding purposes. E. It can be as simple as daily acts or as big as a career. F. Thus, purpose may change as our life situations develop. G. Purpose guides choices, strengthens belief, and gives life direction. 【答案】21.

Others spend time finding it. Then once they do, duties or fear will stop them from going after it wholeheartedly.(有些人天生就知道自己想要成为医生或舞者。而另一些人则需要花费时间去寻找自己的梦想。但一旦他们找到了目标，各种责任或恐惧又会阻碍他们全身心地去追求梦想)”可知，本段主要说明了关于目标的清晰度会影响实现梦想，故A选项“但又有多少人清楚自己的目标呢？”符合语境，故选A。 【23题详解】 根据上文“We often think purpose is one set thing. However, it can be found in small or large ways.(我们通常认为目标是固定不变的。但实际上，它可以以小到微不足道的方式，也可以以大到影响全局的方式体现出来)”可知，本句主要具体说明目标的灵活性。故E选项“它可以是日常行为的简单体现，也可以是职业这样的大事”符合语境，故选E。 【24题详解】 根据上文“Purpose can also change over time. Graduating college might have been a purpose, but now it’s working to provide for a family.(人生目标也会随着时间而发生变化。大学毕业原本可能就是一个人的目标，但现在则变成了努力工作以养家糊口)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出目标会随着生活发生改变。故F选项“因此，目标可能会随着我们生活状况的变化而改变”符合语境，故选F。 【25题详解】 根据上文“In the end, it is important to find out what aim or goal brings you a sense of purpose because you can gain both mental and physical benefits.(最终，重要的是要找出能给你带来目标感的具体目标是什么，因为这样做能让你在精神和身体上都获得益处)”以及后文列举了益处，可知，C选项these benefits对应上文benefits。故C选项“我们已经总结了这些益处和建议”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 Tom, a high-school student crazy about science, attended a school short of funds.

Version I AI has greatly changed our lives and studies. It helps us learn faster by providing quick answers and personalized suggestions. In daily life, AI assistants like Siri make tasks easier, from setting reminders to playing music. However, overusing AI can make us lazy and less creative. To use AI wisely, we should treat it as a tool, not a replacement for thinking. For example, when doing homework, try solving problems yourself before asking AI for help. Also, limit screen time to balance online and offline activities. In short, AI brings convenience, but we must use it properly to stay independent and creative. (102 words) Version 2 AI has deeply influenced our study and life. In learning, it works as a smart helper, offering quick answers to difficult questions and creating personal study plans. Students can practice languages with AI chatbots to improve speaking skills effectively. In daily life, smart devices like voice assistants make tasks easier — they schedule appointments, control home appliances, and even remind us of deadlines. AI also enriches entertainment by recommending movies and music based on our interests.​ To use AI wisely, avoid over-reliance, as it may weaken critical thinking. Always verify its information to ensure accuracy. With proper use, AI will keep bringing practical benefits to our daily lives.
