The fairy homes were not built by mythical creatures,but by volunteers.The idea to add small houses to the landscape came from Therese Ojibway,who 10 years ago wanted her son with autism(自闭i症)to have a safe space to explore in the wilderness. "Finding this Rahway Trail,she started leaving fairy things here and there.When they came.he had something they could look for and over time she kept filling it up more,"said Julie Gould,one of the trail keepers. The South Mountain Conservancy(管理机构)noticed the little cottages popping up around the forest.Learning Ojibway was hand-making the little fairy fixtures,they decided to allow her to continue building the Fairy Trail."She thought this was a dynamic way of getting little children into nature,enhancing their imagination and creativity,"said Beth Kelly, another trail keeper. Ojibway and her son moved out of the area,but their fairy trail legacy lives on.Gould and Kelly were officially asked to become the makers and keepers of the trail.The women, along with volunteers,continue building little wooden homes for the trail. Visitors of the Fairy Trail can spend hours looking for the nearly 100 tiny homes in the woods,but unfortunately,they cannot see fairies."This is a magical feeling when you come here.It touches your heart,giving you a sense of wonder,imagination,and bonding with nature."Kelly said."We get paid when interacting with the hearts of the children who come here and it made their day.This is a magical place for them." 24.Which of the following best describes the initial state of the trail?

"We are hopeful that with similar efforts dedicated to odonata,great progress can be made in our understanding of changes in their population and distributions too.They really are amazing animals and fascinating to observe,"said Siepielski.

This remarkable action was possible due to a microgrid(微电网)installed(安装)by a local company two years earlier. Microgrids are small-scale,self-contained power systems that can operate independently of the main grid.They have gained attention as a solution to enhancing energy resilience. especially after major hurricanes like Sandy and Maria caused long-lasting power outages. According to Jenny Brennan,a climate analyst,reliable energy is essential not only for keeping the lights on but also for powering medical equipment and ensuring public safety. The U.S.power grid.which relies on centralized power plants and long transmission lines,faces significant vulnerabilities.Aging infrastructure,combined with increasing extreme weather events.has led to a rise in weather-related outages.From 2014 to 2023,the number of weather-related outages doubled compared to the previous decade.Major upgrades to the grid are necessary but can be expensive and slow to implement.In contrast,microgrids offer a quicker,localized solution that can protect critical services during emergencies. Other communities have also benefited from microgrids.Babcock Ranch in Florida, designed with climate resilience in mind,withstood back-to-back hurricanes thanks to its on- site solar farm and underground distribution system.Blue Lake Rancheria in California used a solar and battery storage microgrid to avoid outages during wildfires and planned power shutoffs. However,microgrids are not without challenges.They can be costly,and in some areas, solar energy alone may not be enough.This means that diesel (generators may need to be used as well.Studies show that microgrids are often worth the investment,especially as renewable technology gets cheaper. While microgrids are not a universal solution for every community,they are a valuable tool in enhancing energy resilience.As climate threats increase,localized power systems like microgrids can play a significant role in ensuring critical services remain operational during crises. 32.Why did Hot Springs restore power quickly after Hurricane Helene? A.It suffered a little damage. B.It had a mierogrid installed. C.I had some ritc faciliies D.It was rescued by a company. 33.What does the underlined word"vulnerabilities"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Weaknesses. B.Features. C.Innovations. D.Regulations. 【高二英语第6页共10页}】 ·25-524B+ 34.What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 4? A.To compare hurricane impacts. B.To prove microgrids'effectiveness. C.To introduce a solar farm project. D.To criticize traditional power systems. 35.What can be inferred about microgrids from the text? A They rely on diesel generators. B.Their installation is extremely easy. C.Their value increases with technology. D.They are relatively inexpensive solutions. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。迹项中有两项为多余 选项。 Humor is a powerful tool that can brighten your day,improve relationships and reduce stress.36,humor is a skill that can be developed with practice.Here are some key strategies to help you become more humorous.

Jaxon's family didn't have much money.Every penny counted,and even with months of saving,he still had barely enough to buy a pack of sweets.Leo's family was well-off,and Jaxon knew that anything he could afford would seem insignificant compared to the expensive gifts Leo was used to receiving. Jaxon's eyes wandered to the window,where a sparrow was resting.He sighed and looked around his small room.There wasn't much there.After thinking for minutes,he came up with an idea:He could collect and sell empty water bottles.It wasn't much,but every penny he could find would help.In that way,he would be able to give Leo something special. Over the next few weeks,Jaxon picked up discarded water bottles from the parks and the streets,saving them in a large bag under his bed.He had hoped to sell them for a few dollars.Jaxon's hands and shoes were often dirty because of his daily searches,but he didn't mind.He was determined to give Leo a proper goodbye gift. The day before Leo was to leave,Jaxon put on his coat and headed to the local recycling center.When he arrived,he handed over his bag of bottles to the worker."Good job,kid," the worker said,counting the bottles.He smiled at Jaxon and said,"You've got a total of 60 bottles here.That's six dollars.""Thank you,"Jaxon replied,feeling a small sense of accomplishment.He left the recycling center with six dollars and thirty-seven cents in his pocket. 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。 With the money in hand,Jaxon hurried to the gift shop.
