November 23 was the happiest day of last winter for Wang Xiaolong. On that day, he spotted nearly 400 white cranes (鹤) in his patrol (巡逻) area near Poyang Lake.
“I was thrilled. It was the largest number of migratory birds I had seen in months,” Wang said.
Wang has been a patrol officer at the Wucheng protection and administration station of the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve Bureau for 38 years. Each morning, around 5 am, he rises early, has a simple breakfast, and sets off from the protection station.
“Protecting the birds of Poyang Lake is my duty. This work has become a significant part of my life and holds the utmost importance to me. By protecting nature’s spirits, I have found my life’s purpose,” Wang said.
Wang fondly recalls rescuing a young white crane 20 years ago on a winter’s day. He spotted the injured young crane during his patrol and brought it back to the protection station, where he fed it small fish and shrimp and took it to the bird hospital for treatment.
“I remember when we went to the hospital; I walked in front, and the young crane followed me. We entered the hospital together. After about a month, its injury healed, and I decided to release it back into the wild,” he said. “That day left a deep impression on me. The little white crane circled above my head for a long time before flying away. It felt like it recognized me and was reluctant to leave.”
Over the decades, Wang has rescued and released over 300 birds and participated in more than 180 projects involving the protection of migratory birds. He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”.

A. He successfully completed his winter patrol. B. He achieved a personal milestone in his career
C. He witnessed an extraordinary gathering of birds D. He received recognition for his conservation efforts.
5. How does the author develop Wang’s dedication to bird protection?
A. By analyzing scientific data. B. By describing his daily routine.

Hawaii is ready to hike a tax imposed (征税) on travelers staying in hotels, vacation rentals and other short-term accommodations and apply the new money for programs to cope with a warming planet. This will raise the total tax rate to nearly 19%, with the state and counties also imposing a combined 4.712%tax. The measure is expected to generate $100 million.
The funds will be used for projects like adding sand to broken beaches, protecting coral reefs, and removing wildfire-fueling grasses. Josh Green, who supports the bill, believes that the tax will help prevent future disasters like the Maui wildfire, which caused a 13 billion loss and claimed 102 lives. He argues that Hawaii’s 10 million annual visitors should contribute to protecting the environment.
Jerry Gibson, president of the Hawaii Hotel Alliance, said the hotel industry was pleased Hawaii didn’t adopt a higher increase that was initially suggested. “I don’t think that there’s anybody in the tourism industry that says, Well, let’s go out and tax more. No one wants to see that,” Gibson said. “But our home needs money to beautify Hawaii’s environment, and it will be worth it.”
Hawaii has long struggled to pay for the vast environmental and conservation needs. Hawaii had previously considered requiring tourists to pay for a license to visit it, but this idea was rejected. Boosting this tax is their compromise (折中) solution, one made more urgent by the Maui wildfires.
There is a$561 million shortfall in Hawaii’s conservation funding needs. The tax increase won’t fully cover the gap, but Hawaii plans to issue bonds to ensure sufficient funds. Kawika Riley, an officer of Hawaii, pointed to the Hawaiian saying, “A stranger only for a day,” to explain the new tax. It means that a visitor should help with the work after the first day of being a guest. “Nobody is saying that literally our visitors have to come here and start working for us. But what we are saying is that it’s crucial to be part of the solution,” Riley said.
8. What is the purpose of Hawaii’s plan to increase tax on accommodation?
A. To boost tourism income. B. To address environmental challenges.
C. To punish illegal tourists. D. To solve people’s livelihood problems
9. How does the hotel industry respond to the increasing tax?
A. Unsure of the long-term benefits. B. Relieved by the current tax increase
C. Eager for the arrival of the tax increase D. Concerned about the tourism impact.
10. What makes the tax increase more urgent?
A. The impact of the natural disaster. B. The rejection of the license policy.
C. The decline in national support. D. The increase in local tourism.
11. What is Riley’s attitude to the tax increase?
A Intolerant. B. Skeptical. C. Approving. D. Objective.
D
Sleep is one of the most fundamental building blocks of life. All animals sleep, from dogs to humans. It has long been known that sleep also plays a significant role in physical and emotional health. But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse is true.
The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers. These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyan. Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days, while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves. Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyan in the morning, and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed significantly better than those who had not.
According to previous research, there are two phases that the brain cycles through when sleeping. The first is called REM sleep. During this phase, which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep, brain activity peaks and shows levels similar to when that person is awake. This is when dreams occur. In non-REM sleep, brain activity is low.
“Sleep is not just restful; it’s an active, transformative state for the brain,” Dr. Scott Cousins, a researcher of the study, said. They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves — slow oscillations and sleep spindles, which become coupled during non-REM sleep. The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex (大脑皮层), which is where long-term memory is stored.
This is no doubt good news for anyone who wants to study a foreign language. What’s more, the implications of this study could also help improve the lives of those with language-related impairments. Now there is one more reason to get a good night’s sleep.
12. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Descriptive. B. Innovative. C. Opposite. D. Prospective.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The setup and result of the experiment.
B. Health benefits of sleeping in the evening.
C. The relationship between brainwaves and memory.
D. Differences between morning and evening learning styles.
14. What is a key characteristic of REM sleep?
A. Absence of dreams. B. High brain activity.
C. Enhancing of memory. D. Frequent information communication.
15. Why did the participants studying before sleeping perform better?
A. Morning study was faced with more distractions.
B. Their cortex stored memories more efficiently while asleep.
C. Physical rest gained from sleep provided them with more energy.
D. Non-REM sleep brainwaves helped strengthen long-term memory.

“Are you sure this is going to be alright?” Sharon’s dad asked her after helping her carry the crib (婴儿床) she had just bought at the grocery store. She lived in an old apartment building with no elevator, so moving the crib up several stairs was too much for a young woman, especially with a two-week-old baby in her arms.
“Yes, Dad. It’ll be fine. It’s strong, and I can paint it to look new, as soon as I get my next paycheck,” she assured her father and thanked him for his efforts after putting the baby to sleep.
“You should consider moving in with us again, dear. You wouldn’t have to pay so much rent, then,” her dad said again. He had been suggesting that since Sharon lost her husband due to an unexpected accident. Sharon’s entire family was poor, and she lived paycheck to paycheck, working as a waitress. They could pool their resources and be a little more comfortable if they. lived together, but she needed her independence. At least, that’s what she thought.
Sharon shook her head, “I can’t, Dad. I need to do this on my own... But I reserve the need to take you up on that offer if anything happens later.” Her dad laughed, kissed her cheek, and, then left.
The crib was an old-style one which came with its own cushion. Sharon planned to clean it to see if it was reusable. She then lifted the pillow and threw it to the side. When the dust cleared, she spotted an envelope sitting there. She grabbed the envelope, and to her shock, it as heavier than she expected. She noticed it was-addressed to a woman in Florida, but the return address was just near her home.
Opening the envelope, her eyes widened at the cash inside. It was enough to change someone’s life. She couldn’t believe someone had just left it with the crib. This was enough to start a college fund for her child. But was she going to keep it? Could she really do something like that?
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sharon turned the envelope and stared at the return address again.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Walking home, Sharon called her dad.

After about a month, its injury healed, and I decided to release it back into the wild,” he said. “That day left a deep impression on me. The little white crane circled above my head for a long time before flying away. It felt like it recognized me and was reluctant to leave.”
Over the decades, Wang has rescued and released over 300 birds and participated in more than 180 projects involving the protection of migratory birds. He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”.

Hawaii is ready to hike a tax imposed (征税) on travelers staying in hotels, vacation rentals and other short-term accommodations and apply the new money for programs to cope with a warming planet. This will raise the total tax rate to nearly 19%, with the state and counties also imposing a combined 4.712%tax. The measure is expected to generate $100 million.
The funds will be used for projects like adding sand to broken beaches, protecting coral reefs, and removing wildfire-fueling grasses. Josh Green, who supports the bill, believes that the tax will help prevent future disasters like the Maui wildfire, which caused a 13 billion loss and claimed 102 lives. He argues that Hawaii’s 10 million annual visitors should contribute to protecting the environment.
Jerry Gibson, president of the Hawaii Hotel Alliance, said the hotel industry was pleased Hawaii didn’t adopt a higher increase that was initially suggested. “I don’t think that there’s anybody in the tourism industry that says, Well, let’s go out and tax more. No one wants to see that,” Gibson said. “But our home needs money to beautify Hawaii’s environment, and it will be worth it.”
Hawaii has long struggled to pay for the vast environmental and conservation needs. Hawaii had previously considered requiring tourists to pay for a license to visit it, but this idea was rejected. Boosting this tax is their compromise (折中) solution, one made more urgent by the Maui wildfires.
There is a$561 million shortfall in Hawaii’s conservation funding needs. The tax increase won’t fully cover the gap, but Hawaii plans to issue bonds to ensure sufficient funds. Kawika Riley, an officer of Hawaii, pointed to the Hawaiian saying, “A stranger only for a day,” to explain the new tax. It means that a visitor should help with the work after the first day of being a guest. “Nobody is saying that literally our visitors have to come here and start working for us. But what we are saying is that it’s crucial to be part of the solution,” Riley said.
8. What is the purpose of Hawaii’s plan to increase tax on accommodation?
A. To boost tourism income. B. To address environmental challenges.
C. To punish illegal tourists. D. To solve people’s livelihood problems
9. How does the hotel industry respond to the increasing tax?
A. Unsure of the long-term benefits. B. Relieved by the current tax increase
C. Eager for the arrival of the tax increase D. Concerned about the tourism impact.
10. What makes the tax increase more urgent?
A. The impact of the natural disaster. B. The rejection of the license policy.
C. The decline in national support. D. The increase in local tourism.
11. What is Riley’s attitude to the tax increase?
A. Intolerant. B. Skeptical. C. Approving. D. Objective.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Hawaii is ready to hike a tax imposed (征税) on travelers staying in hotels, vacation rentals and other short-term accommodations and apply the new money for programs to cope with a warming planet. (夏威夷准备对入住酒店、度假屋及其他短期住宿场所的游客征收税款,并将这笔新增收入用于相关项目,以应对全球变暖问题。)”可知,夏威夷提高住宿税的目的是为了应对环境问题。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Jerry Gibson, president of the Hawaii Hotel Alliance, said the hotel industry was pleased Hawaii didn’t adopt a higher increase that was initially suggested. “I don’t think that there’s anybody in the tourism industry that says, Well, let’s go out and tax more. No one wants to see that,” Gibson said. “But our home needs money to beautify Hawaii’s environment, and it will be worth it.” (夏威夷酒店联盟主席杰里·吉布森表示,酒店业对此表示满意,因为夏威夷没有采纳最初提出的更高税率方案。“我认为旅游业中的任何人都不会说,‘好吧,那我们就去增加更多税收吧。’没有人愿意看到这种情况发生。”吉布森说道。“但我们的家乡需要资金来美化夏威夷的环境,这终将是有价值的。”)”可知,酒店业对当前的税费上调感到欣慰。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Hawaii has long struggled to pay for the vast environmental and conservation needs. Hawaii had previously considered requiring tourists to pay for a license to visit it, but this idea was rejected. Boosting this tax is their compromise (折中) solution, one made more urgent by the Maui wildfires. (夏威夷长期以来一直难以承担其庞大的环境与保护方面的费用。夏威夷此前曾考虑要求游客支付参观的许可证费用,但这一想法被否决了。增加这项税收是他们达成的妥协方案(折中解决方案),由于毛伊岛的野火事件,这一方案显得更为紧迫。)”可知,促使此次增税更为紧迫的原因是自然灾害的影响。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Kawika Riley, an officer of Hawaii, pointed to the Hawaiian saying, “A stranger only for a day,” to explain the new tax. It means that a visitor should help with the work after the first day of being a guest. “Nobody is saying that literally our visitors have to come here and start working for us. But what we are saying is that it’s crucial to be part of the solution,” Riley said. (夏威夷的一位官员卡维卡·莱利引用了夏威夷的一句谚语“一天的陌生人”来解释这项新税收政策。这句话的意思是,游客在成为客人后的第一天之后就应该参与工作。“没有人说我们的游客必须来到这里并为我们工作。但我们想说的是,参与解决方案至关重要。”莱利说道。)”可知,他对增加税款的支持态度。故选C。
D
Sleep is one of the most fundamental building blocks of life. All animals sleep, from dogs to humans. It has long been known that sleep also plays a significant role in physical and emotional health. But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse is true.
The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers. These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyan. Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days, while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves. Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyan in the morning, and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed significantly better than those who had not.
According to previous research, there are two phases that the brain cycles through when sleeping. The first is called REM sleep. During this phase, which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep, brain activity peaks and shows levels similar to when that person is awake. This is when dreams occur. In non-REM sleep, brain activity is low.
“Sleep is not just restful; it’s an active, transformative state for the brain,” Dr. Scott Cousins, a researcher of the study, said. They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves — slow oscillations and sleep spindles, which become coupled during non-REM sleep. The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex (大脑皮层), which is where long-term memory is stored.
This is no doubt good news for anyone who wants to study a foreign language. What’s more, the implications of this study could also help improve the lives of those with language-related impairments. Now there is one more reason to get a good night’s sleep.
12. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Descriptive. B. Innovative. C. Opposite. D. Prospective.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The setup and result of the experiment.
B. Health benefits of sleeping in the evening.
C. The relationship between brainwaves and memory.
D. Differences between morning and evening learning styles.
14. What is a key characteristic of REM sleep?
A. Absence of dreams. B. High brain activity.
C. Enhancing of memory. D. Frequent information communication.
15. Why did the participants studying before sleeping perform better?
A. Morning study was faced with more distractions.
B. Their cortex stored memories more efficiently while asleep.
C. Physical rest gained from sleep provided them with more energy.
D. Non-REM sleep brainwaves helped strengthen long-term memory.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了南澳大利亚大学的研究人员通过实验发现睡眠对记忆和学习有积极作用,打破了人们以往认为记忆和学习不在睡眠中进行的认知。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“It has long been known that sleep also plays a significant role in physical and emotional health. But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse is true. (长期以来,人们都知道睡眠在身心健康中起着重要作用。但可能没人会认为记忆和学习是在睡眠中获得的。然而,事实上,南澳大利亚大学的研究人员最近发现情况恰恰reverse。)” 可知,之前人们认为睡眠中不能获得记忆和学习,而研究发现并非如此,所以“reverse”意思是“相反的”。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers. These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyan. Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days, while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves. (研究人员对 35 名以英语为母语的人进行了一项实验。这 35 名参与者正在学习一种名为 Mini Pinyan 的迷你语言。一半的学生在早上学习这种语言,然后继续他们的日常活动,而另一半在晚上学习,然后在实验室睡觉,以便研究人员记录他们的脑电波。)” 介绍了实验的设置。以及“Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyan in the morning, and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed significantly better than those who had not. (两组都在早上测试了他们对 Mini Pinyan 的知识,学习后不久就睡觉的那组表现明显好于没有睡觉的那组。)” 说明了实验结果。所以第二段主要关于实验的设置和结果。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The first is called REM sleep. During this phase, which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep, brain activity peaks and shows levels similar to when that person is awake. (第一个阶段称为快速眼动睡眠(REM 睡眠)。在这个阶段,通常发生在一个人入睡后大约一个半小时,大脑活动达到峰值,显示出与该人清醒时相似的水平。)” 可知,REM 睡眠的一个关键特征是大脑活动水平高。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves — slow oscillations and sleep spindles, which become coupled during non - REM sleep. The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex (大脑皮层), which is where long-term memory is stored. (他们发现,这些改善与两种脑电波有关 —— 慢振荡和睡眠纺锤波,它们在非快速眼动睡眠期间耦合。这些脑电波的耦合似乎有助于将信息从海马体转移到大脑皮层,而大脑皮层是长期记忆存储的地方。)” 可知,睡前学习的参与者表现更好是因为非快速眼动睡眠脑电波有助于加强长期记忆。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了安徽桐城“六尺巷”的历史由来及其文化意义。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:这条小巷之所以得名,是因为它的宽度。根据空前its可知,空处需用名词width“宽度”作宾语。故填width。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:清朝时,桐城两户邻居吴家和张家因房屋边界问题发生冲突。根据句意可知,此处表示“关于……的冲突”,需用介词over。故填over。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:他们争论着哪家有权在分界线上建墙。have the right to do sth. 为固定搭配,表示“有权做某事”,所以空处需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to build。
【39题详解】
考查动名词。句意:为了避免冲突加剧,张家选择让步,将墙后移三尺。avoid doing sth.为固定搭配,表示“避免做某事”,所以空处需用动名词作宾语。故填worsening。
【40题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:于是,一条约两米宽的狭窄小巷形成了,并流传至今,得名“六尺巷”。根据句意可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时;主语alley为单数,且与谓语动词form之间为被动关系,所以空处需用一般过去时的被动语态:was/were done,主语是单数,be动词用was。故填was formed。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:六尺巷长约100米,历经岁月洗礼。根据空后“100 meters long”可知,空处需用副词approximately“大约”作状语,修饰100 meters long。故填approximately。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这条小巷不仅是物理通道,更是和谐共处的象征。根据空后“coexistence”可知,空处需用形容词harmonious“和谐的”作定语,修饰名词coexistence。故填harmonious。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:几个世纪以来,它激励着一代又一代人重视人际交往中的谦逊与善良。根据时间状语For centuries可知,空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态:have/has done,主语为第三人称单数it,所以助动词用has。故填has inspired。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:人们被它背后的故事所吸引。根据空后story可知,此处特指六尺巷背后的故事,所以空处需用定冠词the。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:游客们漫步在小巷中,感受其历史文化氛围,并了解中国传统价值观的深刻内涵。谓语动词walk、feel、learn about为并列关系,所以此处用连词and表并列。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Are you sure this is going to be alright?” Sharon’s dad asked her after helping her carry the crib (婴儿床) she had just bought at the grocery store. She lived in an old apartment building with no elevator, so moving the crib up several stairs was too much for a young woman, especially with a two-week-old baby in her arms.
“Yes, Dad. It’ll be fine. It’s strong, and I can paint it to look new, as soon as I get my next paycheck,” she assured her father and thanked him for his efforts after putting the baby to sleep.
“You should consider moving in with us again, dear. You wouldn’t have to pay so much rent, then,” her dad said again. He had been suggesting that since Sharon lost her husband due to an unexpected accident. Sharon’s entire family was poor, and she lived paycheck to paycheck, working as a waitress. They could pool their resources and be a little more comfortable if they. lived together, but she needed her independence. At least, that’s what she thought.
Sharon shook her head, “I can’t, Dad. I need to do this on my own... But I reserve the need to take you up on that offer if anything happens later.” Her dad laughed, kissed her cheek, and, then left.
The crib was an old-style one which came with its own cushion. Sharon planned to clean it to see if it was reusable. She then lifted the pillow and threw it to the side. When the dust cleared, she spotted an envelope sitting there. She grabbed the envelope, and to her shock, it as heavier than she expected. She noticed it was-addressed to a woman in Florida, but the return address was just near her home.
Opening the envelope, her eyes widened at the cash inside. It was enough to change someone’s life. She couldn’t believe someone had just left it with the crib. This was enough to start a college fund for her child. But was she going to keep it? Could she really do something like that?
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Walking home, Sharon called her dad.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Sharon turned the envelope and stared at the return address again. She hesitated, tempted to keep it, but eventually she determined to return it according to the address. Arriving at a modest house, she and her baby were greeted by a woman named Shondra. After figuring out Sharon’s intention, she was relieved, tearfully explaining the money represented their family’s collective efforts to support their sick grandmother in Florida. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Shondra invited Sharon to her home to join their dinner, where she learned multiple generations lived together there supporting one another.
Walking home, Sharon called her dad. The experience shifted Sharon’s perspective. Witnessing the family’s warmth and mutual care despite financial struggles, she reconsidered her isolated life as a single mother. Realizing the value of raising her child surrounded by family love, she called her dad to ask about moving back, whose immediate “yes” brought tears to her eyes. The encounter not only reunited the family with their lost savings but reminded Sharon that true wealth lies in connection rather than independence. Though valuing independence, Sharon now understood family meant facing hardships together.
