All living things must one day die, and Earth’s largest creature, the blue whale, is no exception. But in nature, death is never a true ending. As a ninety-year-old blue whale dies, one story ends and another begins.
Caldecott Medalist Jason Chin’s astonishing artwork enriches and amplifies well-researched text by writer Lynn Brunelle. Young lovers of the macabre (可怕的) will enjoy each page of Life After Whale: The Amazing Ecosystem of a Whale Fall. This book is ideal for young readers who love simple, clear facts about animals or for older readers who will find the decomposition (分解) process fascinating. Educators will also appreciate the clear organization and descriptive writing style.
· Gabrielle Stoller: Excellent for teaching about ecosystems and the symbiotic relationship that can occur even after death of an animal; excellent nonfiction text for classrooms.
· Book Nerds In MN: I really never knew about this phenomenon at all. This would be a great book for elementary school age to age 100+!
· Kristen Watts: This book is an incredible resource for anyone who is interested in what exactly a whale fall is and what it entails. Yes, it’s a beautiful picture book; however, it also gives you just the main idea.
· Anne Librarian: Fantastic nonfiction picture book about an ecosystem in the ocean that kids might not know about a whale fall. Lynn Brunelle’s text is age appropriate and full of detail. Jason Chin’s artwork is fantastic — his artwork always adds so much to nonfiction. Glad to have this in our library collection.

The mystery in northwest China, the grand gallery in the desert, the incomparable art, and extensive and profound culture — everything about Dunhuang could take a visitor’s breath away. All these have fascinated generations of people, and they have also brought them to form an everlasting bond with Dunhuang. Fan Jinshi, whose given name means “beautiful poetry” in Chinese, is one of them.
After graduating from Peking University in 1963, Fan had the chance to work in prosperous big cities. However, she determinedly joined the Research Institute on Cultural Relics of Dunhuang (later renamed the Dunhuang Academy), and worked as a guardian of Mogao Grottoes. At the time of her arrival, it was not a comfortable place to live and did not have electricity or running water. All she could see was poor land. She not only had to adapt to the harsh environment, but also had to endure the long-tern separation from her family.
But Fan’s devotion to archaeology, protection and management of grottoes never wavered (动摇), and she has made outstanding contributions to the cause of “protecting, studying and carrying forward Dunhuang Grottoes” through her works. Dunhuang is an old person, an extremely fragile old person. It has a lot of illnesses. If you were a little careless, it would be gone, Fan says.
Fan has devoted herself to exploring and researching, and she has written valuable archaeological reports. And as a conservationist, she serves to protect the ancient site from erosion, collapsing and over-tourism. In her dozens of years of research in Dunhuang heritage conservation, she has led a team dedicated to the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage, actively engaged in international exchange and cooperation in heritage conservation, introduced advanced conservation concepts and technologies, and built “Digital Dunhuang”. She is known as the “Daughter of Dunhuang” for her outstanding contributions to the protection of the Mogao Grottoes. The longer she stayed there, the deeper her love grew for Dunhuang.
Fan has received the national honor of “Outstanding Contributor to the Cultural Heritage Preservation” for her substantial contributions to the permanent preservation and sustainable utilization of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A minor planet was named after Fan Jinshi at a naming ceremony in Dunhuang to honor Fan’s devotion.
4. Why did Fan Jinshi choose to work in Dunhuang after graduation?
A. To earn a higher salary in a remote area.
B. To live up to her family’s expectations.
C. To gain fame through unique research opportunities.
D. To pursue her passion for archaeology and cultural preservation.
5. What does the author imply by describing Dunhuang as “an old person with many illnesses” in paragraph 3?
A. The site is ancient but still full of life.
B. The cultural significance of Dunhuang is in decline.
C. The preservation of Dunhuang requires urgent and careful efforts.
D. The local environment is unsuitable for the development of tourism.
6. Which of the following best summarizes Fan Jinshi’s contributions to Dunhuang?
A. She focused only on repairing collapsed grottoes.
B. She improved tourism facilities to attract more visitors.
C. She prioritized publishing archaeological reports over practical conservation.
D. She combined research, international cooperation, and technology for preservation.
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. A Cultural Heritage of Northwest China
B. A Lifelong Guardian of Mogao Grottoes
C. The Challenges in Mogao Grottoes Conservation
D. The Role of Technology in Preserving Mogao Grottoes
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了樊锦诗放弃大城市工作机会,投身敦煌莫高窟保护事业,在艰苦环境中坚持考古研究和文化遗产保护,并取得了杰出成就,被誉为“敦煌的女儿”。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After graduating from Peking University in 1963, Fan had the chance to work in prosperous big cities. However, she determinedly joined the Research Institute on Cultural Relics of Dunhuang (later renamed the Dunhuang Academy), and worked as a guardian of Mogao Grottoes. (1963年从北京大学毕业后,樊有机会在繁华的大城市工作。然而,她毅然加入了敦煌文物研究所(后来更名为敦煌研究院),并担任莫高窟的守护者。)”可知,樊锦诗毕业后选择在敦煌工作是为了追求自己对考古学和文化保护的热爱。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But Fan’s devotion to archaeology, protection and management of grottoes never wavered (动摇), and she has made outstanding contributions to the cause of “protecting, studying and carrying forward Dunhuang Grottoes” through her works. Dunhuang is an old person, an extremely fragile old person. It has a lot of illnesses. If you were a little careless, it would be gone, Fan says. (但樊对考古学、石窟保护与管理的执着从未动摇过,她通过自己的工作为“保护、研究和弘扬敦煌石窟”这一事业做出了杰出贡献。敦煌就像一位老人,是一位极其脆弱的老人。它身患诸多疾病。樊说,如果你稍有疏忽,它就会消失。)”可知,作者将敦煌描述为“一个身患多种疾病的老人”时,其意在暗示对敦煌的保护需要立即且谨慎的行动。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In her dozens of years of research in Dunhuang heritage conservation, she has led a team dedicated to the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage, actively engaged in international exchange and cooperation in heritage conservation, introduced advanced conservation concepts and technologies, and built “Digital Dunhuang”. (在敦煌遗产保护领域长达数十年的研究生涯中,她带领了一个致力于保护世界文化遗产的团队,积极参与遗产保护领域的国际交流与合作,引进先进的保护理念和技术,并建立了“数字敦煌”。)”可知,樊锦诗将研究、国际合作以及保护技术相结合。故选D。
7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Fan has received the national honor of “Outstanding Contributor to the Cultural Heritage Preservation” for her substantial contributions to the permanent preservation and sustainable utilization of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A minor planet was named after Fan Jinshi at a naming ceremony in Dunhuang to honor Fan’s devotion. (樊因其在敦煌莫高窟永久性保护和可持续利用方面所做出的杰出贡献而荣获“文化遗产保护杰出贡献者”这一国家级荣誉。在敦煌举行的命名仪式上,一颗小行星以樊锦诗的名字命名,以此来表彰樊的奉献精神。)”结合文章主要讲述了樊锦诗放弃大城市工作机会,投身敦煌莫高窟保护事业,在艰苦环境中坚持考古研究和文化遗产保护,并取得了杰出成就,被誉为“敦煌的女儿”。可知,B选项“长期守护莫高窟的人”最符合文章标题。故选B。
C
Over the recent months, many news agencies have been reporting a trend involving Generation Alpha, aged 1 to 14. According to a report from NielsenIQ, a global marketing research firm, US households with 6 to 12-year-old children spent 27 percent more on skincare last year than they did the year before. What’s more, they’ve been buying beauty products specially developed for older customers.
Some people believe such fascination among Gen Alpha is merely a passing trend. However, experts think it is physical appearance anxiety that may be driving Gen Alpha to invest so much time, money, and effort into looking good.
Physical appearance anxiety is a form of worry about perceived physical imperfections. Factors such as low self-esteem or fear of being rejected can make people more likely to experience appearance anxiety. Generation Alpha has a high risk of having physical appearance anxiety as they spend hours consuming content on apps like TikTok. Digital platforms like this can expose kids to influencers with “perfect” faces and bodies. This false version of reality lead them to have negative feelings about their own appearance.
Appearance anxiety isn’t limited to one’s physical features. Gen Alpha kids may also feel anxious if they’re wearing the “wrong” clothes or carrying an unfashionable schoolbag. They will feel more withdrawn and lose their self-confidence, so they tend to avoid people or even stop interacting with others altogether.
Some parents think that taking their Gen Alpha children to buy the best clothes or make-up may help relieve their kids’ anxiety over their appearance. But keep in mind that the feeling of satisfaction that they’d get from this is short-term. Instead of emptying your wallet, help your child to develop a sense of self-sympathy. Learning how to treat themselves with love, acceptance, and understanding can have a positive and lasting effect on mental health, which may help to reduce appearance anxiety.
8. What does the report from NielsenIQ say about Generation Alpha?
A They care much about their looks. B. They hold great spending power.
C. They use make-up to look mature. D. They spend more time with the elders.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of digital platforms. B. The negative impacts of social media.
C. The rise of digital content consumption. D. The possible causes of appearance anxiety.
10. What does Gen Alpha kids’ appearance anxiety result in?
A. Worse physical appearance. B. Inability to fit in with others.
C. Ignorance of the dress code. D. Avoidance of social problems.
11. What should children do to overcome appearance anxiety?
A. Enlarge their social circle. B. Relate to each other.
C. Appreciate self-worth. D. Focus on academic performance.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Alpha世代外貌焦虑的现象、原因、负面影响及应对方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“According to a report from NielsenIQ, a global marketing research firm, US households with 6 to 12-year-old children spent 27 percent more on skincare last year than they did the year before. What’s more, they’ve been buying beauty products specially developed for older customers. (根据全球市场研究公司尼尔森IQ的一份报告,有6至12岁儿童的美国家庭去年在护肤品上的支出比前一年增加了27%。更重要的是,他们一直在购买专门为年长顾客开发的美容产品)”可知,尼尔森IQ的报告显示,Alpha世代很在意自己的外表。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Physical appearance anxiety is a form of worry about perceived physical imperfections. Factors such as low self-esteem or fear of being rejected can make people more likely to experience appearance anxiety. Generation Alpha has a high risk of having physical appearance anxiety as they spend hours consuming content on apps like TikTok. Digital platforms like this can expose kids to influencers with “perfect” faces and bodies. This false version of reality lead them to have negative feelings about their own appearance. (外貌焦虑是一种对感知到的身体缺陷的担忧。自卑或害怕被拒绝等因素会让人更容易产生外貌焦虑。Alpha世代在TikTok等应用程序上花费数小时浏览内容,因此他们出现外貌焦虑的风险很高。像这样的数字平台会让孩子们接触到拥有‘完美’面容和身材的网红。这种虚假的现实版本会让他们对自己的外表产生负面情绪)”可知,第三段主要讲了外貌焦虑的可能原因。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Gen Alpha kids may also feel anxious if they’re wearing the “wrong” clothes or carrying an unfashionable schoolbag. They will feel more withdrawn and lose their self-confidence, so they tend to avoid people or even stop interacting with others altogether. (如果Alpha世代的孩子们穿着‘错误’的衣服或背着不时髦的书包,他们也可能感到焦虑。他们会变得更加孤僻,失去自信,因此他们倾向于避开他人,甚至完全停止与他人互动)”可推知,Alpha世代孩子的外貌焦虑导致他们无法融入他人。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead of emptying your wallet, help your child to develop a sense of self-sympathy. Learning how to treat themselves with love, acceptance, and understanding can have a positive and lasting effect on mental health, which may help to reduce appearance anxiety. (与其掏空钱包,不如帮助孩子培养自我关怀意识。学会用爱、接纳和理解来对待自己,这会对心理健康产生积极且持久的影响,或许有助于减轻外貌焦虑)”可推知,孩子们应该欣赏自我价值来克服外貌焦虑。故选C。
D
While Sandeep Sadhu is busy with work, a companion robot plays fetch with his mini goldendoodle (黄金贵宾犬), Simba. The robot, named ORO, feeds, supervises, trains and entertains Simba- all while studying his behavior and getting to know him better with every interaction. “He is a great companion for Simba,” said Sadhu, who runs a construction company.
Dog nannies like ORO could soon become a must among modem pet owners, as artificial intelligence advances at a remarkable rate, revolutionizing various industries — including the pet space. There are now popular AI-powered pet cameras that give treats, smart collars with disease-detection capabilities and translators that can turn a cat’s meow into human language.
Machine learning — a subset of Al that enables machines to absorb information and improve accuracy — is at the forefront of the latest pet tech innovations. Although many new pet products show potential for improving health, safety and quality of life, AI is filled with possible dangers. Beyond privacy and ethical (伦理的) concerns, experts warn advanced technologies could break the precious bond between humans and animals.
Philip Tedeschi — co-director of the Institute for Animal Sentience and Protection — is cautious about advanced pet technologies, namely translators and robotic companions. “We might capture data that could serve a very useful purpose, but I think the drawback is that it may actually make us less likely to meet each other’s social and emotional needs,” Tedeschi said. “I can guarantee that your dog would rather play with you than a robot. From my standpoint, technology takes some of the magic out of these relationships.”
Still, he noted, AI has powerful potential to improve animals’ lives-if the well-being of our pets is the priority. “My distrust is not directed at the technology as much as it is directed at people, and whether human beings have the capacity to use it in an ethical and moral manner,” Tedeschi said.
12. What is ORO primarily designed to do?
A. Replace pet owner. B. Conduct animal research.
C. Monitor house security. D. Provide comprehensive pet care.
13. Why does the author mention “AI-powered pet cameras” and “smart collars”?
A. To compare product effectiveness.
B. To criticize technological overreach.
C. To illustrate Al’s diverse applications in the pet industry.
D. To explain the principle and function of machine learning.
14. What does the underlined word “nannies” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Partners B. Caregivers. C. Friends. D. Pets.
15. What concern does Tedeschi emphasize about pet technology?
A. Technical breakdowns. B. Emotional disconnection
C. Limited functionality. D. High maintenance costs.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述人工智能(AI)在宠物护理领域的应用,包括机器人ORO如何提供全面宠物照料、AI宠物产品的多样化实例、以及潜在风险。文章还探讨了专家对技术伦理问题的担忧,强调需以宠物福祉为优先。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The robot, named ORO, feeds, supervises, trains and entertains Simba- all while studying his behavior and getting to know him better with every interaction.(这款名为“奥罗”的机器人负责为辛巴喂食、进行监督、进行训练以及为其提供娱乐——同时它还会不断观察辛巴的行为,并通过每一次互动更深入地了解他)”可知,ORO主要是为了提供全面的宠物护理服务。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“There are now popular AI-powered pet cameras that give treats, smart collars with disease-detection capabilities and translators that can turn a cat’s meow into human language.(现在有很受欢迎的由人工智能驱动的宠物摄像头,可以给狗狗喂食,有带有疾病检测功能的智能项圈,还有能够将猫的叫声转换成人类语言的翻译器)”可知,作者提及“人工智能驱动的宠物摄像头”和“智能项圈”是为了说明人工智能在宠物行业中的多种应用。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“There are now popular AI-powered pet cameras that give treats, smart collars with disease-detection capabilities and translators that can turn a cat’s meow into human language.(现在有很受欢迎的由人工智能驱动的宠物摄像头,可以给狗狗喂食,有带有疾病检测功能的智能项圈,还有能够将猫的叫声转换成人类语言的翻译器)”可知,像ORO这样的机器人,其功能是“feeds, supervises, trains and entertains”(喂食、监督、训练和娱乐),相当于宠物的“照顾者”或“保姆”。故划线词意思是“看护者”。故选B。
15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““We might capture data that could serve a very useful purpose, but I think the drawback is that it may actually make us less likely to meet each other’s social and emotional needs,” Tedeschi said. “I can guarantee that your dog would rather play with you than a robot. From my standpoint, technology takes some of the magic out of these relationships.”(特德斯奇说:“我们或许能获取一些非常有用的数据,但我觉得其弊端在于,这可能会使我们更难满足彼此的社交和情感需求。我可以肯定的是,你的狗狗更愿意和你玩耍,而不是和机器人一起玩。从我的角度来看,技术削弱了这些关系中的某些魔力。”)”可知,特德斯基在谈到宠物科技时担忧情感上的疏离。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The comparison thief loves to slip into our minds without warning and steal our joy or peace. And with social media flooding our lives, it’s easier than ever to find someone “better” to compare ourselves to. ____16____ In it, we always lose. We either walk away feeling inadequate or get a false sense of fulfillment, believing we are better than others. I constantly struggled with this battle. My personal tips and experiences are as follows
____17____ I learned the art of seeking inward. At the start of each day, I told myself to love and appreciate myself and give myself confidence instead of looking to others to do that. Getting your mindset right at the beginning of the day sets you up for a successful day of less comparison.
Restrict social media time. I stopped following social media accounts that made me feel inadequate or insecure and set a boundary about my time on those apps. ____18____ Set a timer if you must. Better yet, put your phone down and engage with the people whose opinion truly matters.
Accept the real self. One of the biggest things that helped me stop comparing myself was finding out who I was and accepting myself. When witnessing my friend’s gorgeous and well-organized house, I naturally tended to compare mine with hers. ____19____ We are all imperfect beings deserving of love, respect, and appreciation. Celebrating the other person and accepting myself was the opportunity to start again with the truth.
Be present. I began to train my mind to trust that I did not need to plan, control, and schedule everything. ____20____ I wouldn’t worry about recording a moment for others to see. Instead. I would choose to focus on seeing and appreciating it for myself.
A. Reset my mind.
B. Build confidence.
C. All I needed to do was living in the moment.
D. What I needed to prepare was a present for her
E. Feelings of failure instantly arose, but I’ve accepted my humanity.
F. They can become a wormhole and waste the precious time we have
G. Constantly measuring ourselves against others can be an exhausting mind game.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要分析了人们爱攀比的心理,并给出了相应的建议和应对措施。
【16题详解】
根据上句“And with social media flooding our lives, it’s easier than ever to find someone “better” to compare ourselves to.(随着社交媒体充斥着我们的生活,如今要找到一个“更优秀”的人来与自己作比较比以往任何时候都更容易。)”和下句“In it, we always lose.(在其中,我们总是失败。)”可知,空处应表示在这种拿自己与他人对比的过程中;选项G. Constantly measuring ourselves against others can be an exhausting mind game.(总是拿自己与他人进行比较,这无疑是一种令人疲惫不堪的自我较量游戏。)描述了这个过程就是一种自我较量的游戏,下句中的“it”指代选项G中的“game”,说明在这种游戏中,我们总是会失败,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
空处为第二段主题句,参考第三、四、五段可知,应用祈使句。根据下文“I learned the art of seeking inward. At the start of each day, I told myself to love and appreciate myself and give myself confidence instead of looking to others to do that. Getting your mindset right at the beginning of the day sets you up for a successful day of less comparison.(我学会了自我探索的技巧。每天伊始,我都会告诉自己要爱自己、欣赏自己,并给自己信心,而不是指望他人来做到这些。在一天开始时保持正确的心态,会让你拥有一个没有过多比较的成功的一天。) ”可知,该段主要讲述了要在一天的开始重置自己的心态。故选项A. Reset my mind.(重置我的心态。)是对该段的总结,符合段落主题。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上句“I stopped following social media accounts that made me feel inadequate or insecure and set a boundary about my time on those apps.(我不再关注那些让我感到自己不够好或缺乏安全感的社交媒体账号,并且为自己在这些应用上的使用时间设定了限制。)”和下句“Set a timer if you must.(如果一定要的话,可以设置一个计时器。)可知,空处应该强调了这些应用所带来的负面影响;选项F. They can become a wormhole and waste the precious time we have.(它们可能会变成虫洞,浪费我们宝贵的时间。)中的“They”指代上句中的“those apps”,描述了它们的危害,承上启下,语意连贯。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上句“When witnessing my friend’s gorgeous and well-organized house, I naturally tended to compare mine with hers.(当看到我朋友那漂亮且井井有条的家时,我自然而然地就会将自己的家与她的家进行比较。)”和下句“We are all imperfect beings deserving of love, respect, and appreciation.(我们都是不完美的个体,但同样值得被爱、被尊重和被欣赏。)”以及该段主题句“Accept the real self.(接受真实的自己。)”可知,空处应该表示虽然会因自己的家不如朋友的家而产生挫败感,但是还是接受真实的自己;选项E.

【20题详解】
根据上文“Be present. I began to train my mind to trust that I did not need to plan, control, and schedule everything.(活在当下。我开始努力训练自己的思维,让自己相信并不需要去规划、控制和安排一切事情。)”和下文“I wouldn’t worry about recording a moment for others to see. Instead. I would choose to focus on seeing and appreciating it for myself.(我不必为记录下某个瞬间以便让他人观看而感到担忧。相反,我更愿意选择专注于亲自去感受和欣赏它。)”可知,空处应该表达我要做的事情是专注当下,活在当下;故选项C.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Take a look at the giant sinkholes that are located in China’s southwestern regions and it’s easy to see why they ____36____ (call) “tiankeng”. According to Zhu Xuewen, a researcher, to qualify as a tiankeng, a sinkhole must measure at least 330 ____37____ (foot) deep and wide. Besides, it must also have steep sides and rivers.
China’s tiankeng are unique, Zhu says. They are some of the ____38____ (large) sinkholes in the world — in particular Xiaozhai Tiankeng, located in Fengjie County, ____39____ is the deepest sinkhole on Earth.
Despite their size, China’s tiankeng can be hard ____40____ (spot) among the wavy mountains and thick forests that cover much of the southwestern part of the country. That’s ____41____ dozens of them have only been discovered in recent years.
The most recent discovery was in May 2022 in Guangxi. The bottom of the sinkhole existed an original forest with ancient trees that ____42____ (be) up to 40 meters tall.

43. person’s
44. surprising 45. or
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国西南天坑的定义、特点及相关发现。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:看看位于中国西南地区的巨大天坑,很容易理解为什么它们被称为“天坑”。空处是why引导的宾语从句中的谓语,call和主语they(指代上文的the giant sinkholes)之间是被动关系,且根据上文的are可知,此处应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用are。故填are called。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:研究人员朱学文表示,要成为天坑,一个坑必须至少有330英尺深和宽。foot“英尺”是可数名词,其前有330修饰,应用复数形式feet。故填feet。
【38题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:它们是世界上最大的天坑之一——特别是位于奉节县的小寨天坑,它是地球上最深的天坑。根据句意和空前的the可知,此处应用形容词large的最高级largest,修饰名词sinkholes,表示“最大的”。故填largest。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它们是世界上最大的天坑之一——特别是位于奉节县的小寨天坑,它是地球上最深的天坑。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Xiaozhai Tiankeng,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管中国天坑很大,但在中国西南部波浪起伏的山脉和茂密的森林中很难发现它们,这些山脉和森林覆盖了中国西南部的大部分地区。be hard to do sth.是固定用法,意为“做某事很难”,所以空处应用spot的不定式形式to spot。故填to spot。
【41题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这就是为什么其中许多天坑直到最近几年才被发现。空处引导表语从句,从句结构完整,结合句意可知,此处表示“这就是为什么其中许多天坑直到最近几年才被发现”,应用连接副词why引导该从句,表示原因,“That’s why...”意为“那就是……的原因”。故填why。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:天坑底部存在一片原始森林,里面有高达40米的古树。that引导定语从句,修饰先行词ancient trees,关系词在从句中作主语,所以从句谓语动词应用复数形式,且根据上文的existed可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,be动词用were。故填were。
【43题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:树下的草长得很茂密,高达一个人的肩膀。根据句意可知,此处表示“一个人的肩膀”,应用名词所有格person’s,作定语修饰名词shoulder。故填person’s。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:研究团队负责人陈立新表示:“知道这里有一些物种直到现在才被科学报道或描述,这并不奇怪。”空处作表语,应用形容词形式,surprise的形容词有surprising“令人惊讶的”和surprised“感到惊讶的”,此处描述事物的性质,应用surprising,“It wouldn’t be surprising to...”表示“……并不奇怪”。故填surprising。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:研究团队负责人陈立新表示:“知道这里有一些物种直到现在才被科学报道或描述,这并不奇怪。”根据句意可知,reported和described之间是选择关系,应用连词or连接,表示“或者”。故填or。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer.
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了野生动物摄影爱好者Sarah在追逐摄影梦想的过程中,偶然发现一只被困猎夹的狐狸,面临艺术追求与生命救助的抉择。她最终放弃拍摄机会选择救助动物,并由此转变人生方向,将摄影与动物保护结合,用镜头传递更深层的生态关怀。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“不一会儿,一些救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了。”以及第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后,Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知,第一段可描写救援人员的及时相助救下了狐狸。而Sarah也决定加入救援团队,成为一名志愿者。
②由第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后,Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知,第二段可描写Sarah决定将摄影和救援小动物相结合。
2.续写线索:不久后,救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了——救援人员小心翼翼靠近狐狸,安抚着小动物——他们将狐狸从陷阱中救出来——Sarah看着这一切,决定加入救援团队,成为一名志愿者——加入救援团队后,Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想——狐狸的事情让她深有感触——她决定将自己对摄影的热爱和救援小动物结合起来——此后,她的摄影风格发生了改变,她对人与自然的关系也有了新的看法

All these have fascinated generations of people, and they have also brought them to form an everlasting bond with Dunhuang. Fan Jinshi, whose given name means “beautiful poetry” in Chinese, is one of them.
After graduating from Peking University in 1963, Fan had the chance to work in prosperous big cities. However, she determinedly joined the Research Institute on Cultural Relics of Dunhuang (later renamed the Dunhuang Academy), and worked as a guardian of Mogao Grottoes. At the time of her arrival, it was not a comfortable place to live and did not have electricity or running water. All she could see was poor land. She not only had to adapt to the harsh environment, but also had to endure the long-tern separation from her family.
But Fan’s devotion to archaeology, protection and management of grottoes never wavered (动摇), and she has made outstanding contributions to the cause of “protecting, studying and carrying forward Dunhuang Grottoes” through her works. Dunhuang is an old person, an extremely fragile old person. It has a lot of illnesses. If you were a little careless, it would be gone, Fan says.
Fan has devoted herself to exploring and researching, and she has written valuable archaeological reports. And as a conservationist, she serves to protect the ancient site from erosion, collapsing and over-tourism. In her dozens of years of research in Dunhuang heritage conservation, she has led a team dedicated to the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage, actively engaged in international exchange and cooperation in heritage conservation, introduced advanced conservation concepts and technologies, and built “Digital Dunhuang”. She is known as the “Daughter of Dunhuang” for her outstanding contributions to the protection of the Mogao Grottoes. The longer she stayed there, the deeper her love grew for Dunhuang.
Fan has received the national honor of “Outstanding Contributor to the Cultural Heritage Preservation” for her substantial contributions to the permanent preservation and sustainable utilization of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A minor planet was named after Fan Jinshi at a naming ceremony in Dunhuang to honor Fan’s devotion.

Over the recent months, many news agencies have been reporting a trend involving Generation Alpha, aged 1 to 14. According to a report from NielsenIQ, a global marketing research firm, US households with 6 to 12-year-old children spent 27 percent more on skincare last year than they did the year before. What’s more, they’ve been buying beauty products specially developed for older customers.
Some people believe such fascination among Gen Alpha is merely a passing trend. However, experts think it is physical appearance anxiety that may be driving Gen Alpha to invest so much time, money, and effort into looking good.
Physical appearance anxiety is a form of worry about perceived physical imperfections Factors such as low self-esteem or fear of being rejected can make people more likely to experience appearance anxiety. Generation Alpha has a high risk of having physical appearance anxiety as they spend hours consuming content on apps like TikTok. Digital platforms like this can expose kids to influencers with “perfect” faces and bodies. This false version of reality lead them to have negative feelings about their own appearance.
Appearance anxiety isn’t limited to one’s physical features. Gen Alpha kids may also feel anxious if they’re wearing the “wrong” clothes or carrying an unfashionable schoolbag. They will feel more withdrawn and lose their self-confidence, so they tend to avoid people or even stop interacting with others altogether.
Some parents think that taking their Gen Alpha children to buy the best clothes or make-up may help relieve their kids’ anxiety over their appearance. But keep in mind that the feeling of satisfaction that they’d get from this is short-term. Instead of emptying your wallet, help your child to develop a sense of self-sympathy. Learning how to treat themselves with love, acceptance, and understanding can have a positive and lasting effect on mental health, which may help to reduce appearance anxiety.
8. What does the report from NielsenIQ say about Generation Alpha?
A. They care much about their looks. B. They hold great spending power.
C. They use make-up to look mature. D. They spend more time with the elders.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of digital platforms. B. The negative impacts of social media.
C. The rise of digital content consumption. D. The possible causes of appearance anxiety.
10. What does Gen Alpha kids’ appearance anxiety result in?
A. Worse physical appearance. B. Inability to fit in with others.
C. Ignorance of the dress code. D. Avoidance of social problems.
11. What should children do to overcome appearance anxiety?
A. Enlarge their social circle. B. Relate to each other.
C Appreciate self-worth. D. Focus on academic performance.

While Sandeep Sadhu is busy with work, a companion robot plays fetch with his mini goldendoodle (黄金贵宾犬), Simba. The robot, named ORO, feeds, supervises, trains and entertains Simba- all while studying his behavior and getting to know him better with every interaction. “He is a great companion for Simba,” said Sadhu, who runs a construction company.
Dog nannies like ORO could soon become a must among modem pet owners as artificial intelligence advances at a remarkable rate, revolutionizing various industries — including the pet space. There are now popular AI-powered pet cameras that give treats, smart collars with disease-detection capabilities and translators that can turn a cat’s meow into human language.
Machine learning — a subset of Al that enables machines to absorb information and improve accuracy — is at the forefront of the latest pet tech innovations. Although many new pet products show potential for improving health, safety and quality of life, AI is filled with possible dangers. Beyond privacy and ethical (伦理的) concerns, experts warn advanced technologies could break the precious bond between humans and animals.
Philip Tedeschi — co-director of the Institute for Animal Sentience and Protection — is cautious about advanced pet technologies, namely translators and robotic companions. “We might capture data that could serve a very useful purpose, but I think the drawback is that it may actually make us less likely to meet each other’s social and emotional needs,” Tedeschi said. “I can guarantee that your dog would rather play with you than a robot. From my standpoint, technology takes some of the magic out of these relationships.”
Still, he noted, AI has powerful potential to improve animals’ lives-if the well-being of our pets is the priority. “My distrust is not directed at the technology as much as it is directed at people, and whether human beings have the capacity to use it in an ethical and moral manner,” Tedeschi said.
12. What is ORO primarily designed to do?
A. Replace pet owner. B. Conduct animal research.
C. Monitor house security. D. Provide comprehensive pet care.
13. Why does the author mention “AI-powered pet cameras” and “smart collars”?
A. To compare product effectiveness.
B. To criticize technological overreach.
C. To illustrate Al’s diverse applications in the pet industry.
D. To explain the principle and function of machine learning.
14. What does the underlined word “nannies” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Partners B. Caregivers. C. Friends. D. Pets.
15. What concern does Tedeschi emphasize about pet technology?
A Technical breakdowns. B. Emotional disconnection
C. Limited functionality. D. High maintenance costs.

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。
Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream.
