A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了旧金山罗伯・希尔露营地的相关信息，包括其位置、设施、预订方式、收费标准以及规则限制等内容。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reservations部分中的第三段“Use of the campsite is $150 per site, per night, with a maximum stay of three nights. All currently enrolled students receive a 60% reduction in rate on campground use; students must present a student ID with the application form.(露营地的使用费用是每个营地每晚 150美元，最长停留时间为三个晚上。所有目前在读的学生在使用露营地时可享受费用降低60%的优惠；学生在提交申请表时必须出示学生证。)”可知，一个营地每晚150美元，住三晚原本费用150×3=45美元，学生优惠60%，则需支付450×(1−60%)=450×0.4=180美元。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reservations部分中的第二段中的“To request a reservation, please download this form (click), complete it and email it to camp@presidiotrust.gov. Reservations are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. A minimum of three working days is required to process reservations.(要预订的话，请下载此表格（点击），填写完整并通过电子邮件发送至 camp@presidiotrust.gov。预订按照先到先得的原则进行。处理预订至少需要三个工作日。)”可知，如果一个人想预订露营地，需要下载表格，填写后通过电子邮件发送到指定邮箱，且预订是先到先得，处理预订至少需要三个工作日，也就是至少提前三天预订。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rules Restrictions部分中的第一段的“Campsite permits come with four parking passes; please park in the appointed parking area. Illegally parked vehicles are subject to ticketing and removing by the U.S. Park Police.(露营地许可证附带四张停车证；请在指定的停车区域停车。非法停放的车辆将被美国公园警察开罚单并拖走。)”可知，露营地许可证附带四张停车证，需在指定停车区域停车，非法停放的车辆会被美国公园警察开罚单并拖走，由此可知，罗伯・希尔露营地禁止随意停车。故选A项。 B Esther Kimani, a 29-year-old pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of smallholder farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers. Kimani's journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing firsthand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers' struggles, and that's how FLT was born. In Kenya alone,7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yield (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are prohibitively expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) for $3 per month when pests or diseases are detected. A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. "Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones," she notes. "Through SMS, we ensure women aren't left behind." Kimani's innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within five years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she's reshaping the future of African agriculture. 4. Why did Kimani found FLT? A. To fund rural farmers. B. To transform farming. C. To expand AI industry. D. To research crop types. 5. How does the AI-powered camera help farmers? A. By sending them timely warnings. B. By connecting them to consultants. C By controlling drones to scan crops. D. By driving pests away automatically. 6. What is an advantage of Kimani's innovation? A. Equal access. B. Tailored service. C. Large storage. D. Easy maintenance. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Financial policies affect agriculture. B. African agriculture will take the lead. C. Kimani will pursue further education. D. Kimani's innovation powers a bright future. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了29岁的农业技术先驱Esther Kimani通过创立Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT)，利用人工智能技术帮助非洲小农户对抗作物病虫害，显著减少损失并改善农民生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers' struggles, and that's how FLT was born. (正是在那里，她认识到了技术解决农村农民困境的潜力，FLT就是这样诞生的。)”可知，Kimani创立FLT的初衷是通过技术解决农民的困境，即改造农业。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) for $3 per month when pests or diseases are detected. (它持续扫描作物，并在检测到病虫害时通过短信服务（SMS）以每月3美元的费用向农民发出警告。)”可知，AI摄像头通过向农民发送及时警告来帮助他们。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. "Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones," she notes. "Through SMS, we ensure women aren't left behind." (Kimani的一个关键重点是支持女性农民，她们占发展中国家农业劳动力的43%，但往往缺乏技术。她指出：“农村社区的男性往往拥有智能手机，而女性则依赖基本的非智能手机。”“通过短信，我们确保女性不会被遗忘。”）”可知，Kimani的创新确保了女性农民也能被纳入技术帮助的范围内，即体现了平等获取技术帮助的优势。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前三句“Kimani's innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within five years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. (Kimani的创新已经影响了数千名农民，其中78%的人报告说产量增加了36%以上。她的团队的目标是在五年内覆盖全国20万家农场。对Kimani来说，2030年的成功意味着看到20万小农户有尊严地生活——通过提高产量负担得起教育、医疗和经济稳定。)”可知，Kimani的创新已经取得了显著成效，并且她的团队有着明确的目标和愿景，即改善更多农民的生活。由此可推知，Kimani的创新将推动农业走向光明前景。故选D项。 C Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18,000 deaths. In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role. “Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.” Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical and computational methods to analyze earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth’s crust (地壳),” said Saldanha. The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It’s an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha. 8. Why did the author mention Tohoku earthquake in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate the movement of tectonic plates. B. To illustrate the difficulty in earthquake forecast. C. To reveal the heavy losses caused by earthquakes. D. To stress the necessity of weakening strain energy. 9. What does the study by UT mainly focus on? A. The climate change caused by earthquakes. B. The impact of solar activity on atmosphere. C. The reasons for increased sunspot numbers. D. The link between sunspots and earthquakes. 10. Which of the following would Saldanha agree? A. Solar heat decides earthquake frequency. B. Tectonic plate pressure grows constantly. C. Earthquakes occur in the crust’s upper layer. D. Solar activity data helps predict earthquakes. 11. What does the underlined word “decipher” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reveal. B. Distinguish. C. Expand. D. Assess. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述科学家对太阳活动与地震之间关系的研究，指出太阳热量传递到地球表面会对地震产生影响，将太阳活动预测纳入地球温度模型可能有助于地震预报。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake.(然而，地震预测仍然是一项重大挑战，2011 年的Tohoku大地震就证明了这一点)”可知，提及该地震是为了论证前文“地震预测困难”的观点。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role.(基于之前的一项将太阳活动与地震联系起来的研究，UT大学的研究人员进行的一项研究揭示了这种可能性，证实了太阳黑子数量对地震和受太阳热量影响的地球气候有一定影响)”可知，该研究聚焦太阳黑子与地震的关联。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts.(研究结果表明，太阳热量向地球表面的转移确实会影响地震，尽管影响很小，而且将太阳活动预测纳入详细的地球温度模型可能有助于发布地震预测)”可知，萨尔达尼亚认为太阳活动数据对预测地震有帮助。故选D。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段 “we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes(我们希望我们的研究能够_____地震成因的更大图景)”可知，decipher后的宾语是 “地震成因的更大图景”，结合前文研究的目的是弄清楚太阳活动与地震的关系，以帮助预测地震，也就是要“揭示”地震成因等相关内容，所以 decipher应表示“揭示、解读”之意。故选 A。 D Surrounded by towering redwoods on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the coastal city of Santa Cruz, some 70 miles south of San Francisco, is a great place for a young person to experience nature. That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said. One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Most of us are aware that cows release methane, but wetlands are also a major source of the gas. Wetlands host a community of microbes (微生物), including Archaea, which generate methane as a byproduct when they consume and digest components of organic matter. These microbes grow in oxygen-free environments like wet soils, which typically occur in the wetlands’ deeper levels. However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat (泥炭) and soil near the surface. To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions. To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.The result is the creation of far more methane than expected. Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production. 12. What motivated Zhang to study environmental issues? A. Her childhood experiences. B. The adventure in nature. C. Her educational background. D. The pressure from fellows. 13. Why did Zhang analyze microbes in the wetland soil? A. To examine the condition of surface soil. B. To explore the impact of methane on microbes. C. To study the role of oxygen in methane production. D. To calculate the amount of methane released by cows. 14. How might the findings help reduce methane from wetlands? A By changing soil structures. B. By introducing new microbes. C. By blocking harmful chemicals. D. By adjusting soil oxygen levels. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How Does Methane Affect Climate Change? B. What Drives Methane Production in Wetlands? C. What Is the Link Between Oxygen and Methane? D. How Do Wetlands Contribute to Microbial Diversity? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地球科学助理教授张新宁（音译）对湿地甲烷产生原因的研究，包括氧气在甲烷产生过程中的作用等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said.(那就是地球科学和普林斯顿环境研究所助理教授张新宁度过童年的地方。她说：“在那里长大，你不由自主地就会去思考和关心环境问题。”)”可知，张新宁童年在圣克鲁兹这个地方成长，在那里的经历促使她思考和关心环境问题，所以是她的童年经历促使她研究环境问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions.(为了探究这一现象，张和她的团队分析了从美国东北部一个湿地采集的泥炭样本。一组样本接受了氧气处理，然后在无氧条件下进行培养。另一组样本在整个研究期间都处于无氧环境中。与预期相反，经过氧气处理的泥炭产生的甲烷量比持续无氧条件下的泥炭要多)”以及第四段“To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.(为了找出原因，研究人员分析了泥炭样本中发现的所有微生物。他们发现氧气刺激了一些微生物分解有害化学物质，否则这些化学物质会威胁到整个微生物群落，包括产生甲烷的古细菌)”可知，张分析湿地土壤中的微生物是为了探究氧气在甲烷产生过程中所起的作用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production.(张的研究表明，氧气的变化是控制湿地甲烷产生的重要因素。她的团队还在进一步探索不同时间长度的氧气变化，以及不同的土壤化学成分如何影响微生物产生甲烷)”可知，氧气的变化是控制湿地甲烷产生的重要因素，所以可以通过调整土壤的氧气水平来减少湿地甲烷的产生。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合首段中的“One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere.(张新宁正在探索的环境问题之一是：甲烷作为一种重要的温室气体，为何在大气中的含量正在增加)”和第二段中的“ However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat ( 泥炭) and soil near the surface.(然而，研究人员惊讶地发现，相当多的甲烷来自（湿地）地表附近富含氧气的泥炭和土壤)”以及下文中张新宁和她的团队为此所做的研究可知，文章主要讲述了张新宁对湿地产生甲烷的研究，包括湿地中微生物产生甲烷的过程以及氧气在其中的作用等，重点是探究是什么驱动了湿地中甲烷的产生，所以题目“是什么驱动了湿地中甲烷的产生”概括了文章的主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. ____16____ Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. _____17_____ However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. _____18_____ After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. _____19_____ I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. ____20____ It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A. But I didn’t stop there. B. For me, it was a firm no. C. That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D. I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E. It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F. This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过一个具体的例子，探讨了如何在孩子提出不合理要求时，既不伤害感情又教会他们重要的人生课程。 【16题详解】 上文提到“Parenting is a constant balancing act.

If I could travel back to ancient times and bring one modern item, I’d bring a solar-powered flashlight. It is a lighting device that uses solar energy to charge its batteries. When exposed to sunlight, the solar panel will convert the light energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the flashlight’s batteries. In ancient times, lighting was often limited to torches, candles, or oil lamps, which were inconvenient and carried the risk of fire. A solar-powered flashlight would provide a clean and long-lasting source of light, reducing the reliance on flammable materials. Besides, it would enable ancient people to engage in a wider variety of activities, such as traveling at night or working in dark places. Just imagine how amazed people would be to see such a useful device! 参考范文二： Hello, everyone! If allowed to bring one modern item to ancient times, I would choose the tiny infection-fighting medicine — small in size yet powerful in impact. In times when minor wounds often led to deaths due to poor medical care, this portable medicine could save lives by preventing deadly infections caused by battle injuries or common illnesses. Additionally, it would inspire deeper medical exploration. Once the basic production methods are shared, people might advance their understanding of disease prevention, potentially reshaping health practices throughout history. In short, antibiotics represents hope and progress. They not only address immediate survival needs but also plant early seeds for scientific curiosity that could blossom into groundbreaking discoveries.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词) On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.

B Esther Kimani, a 29-year-old pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of smallholder farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers. Kimani's journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing firsthand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers' struggles, and that's how FLT was born. In Kenya alone,7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yield (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are prohibitively expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) for $3 per month when pests or diseases are detected. A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. "Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones," she notes. "Through SMS, we ensure women aren't left behind." Kimani's innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within five years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she's reshaping the future of African agriculture. 4. Why did Kimani found FLT? A. To fund rural farmers. B. To transform farming. C. To expand AI industry. D. To research crop types. 5. How does the AI-powered camera help farmers? A. By sending them timely warnings. B. By connecting them to consultants. C. By controlling drones to scan crops. D. By driving pests away automatically. 6. What is an advantage of Kimani's innovation? A. Equal access. B. Tailored service. C. Large storage. D. Easy maintenance. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Financial policies affect agriculture. B. African agriculture will take the lead. C. Kimani will pursue further education. D. Kimani's innovation powers a bright future. C Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18,000 deaths. In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role. “Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.” Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical and computational methods to analyze earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth’s crust (地壳),” said Saldanha. The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It’s an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha. 8.

D Surrounded by towering redwoods on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the coastal city of Santa Cruz, some 70 miles south of San Francisco, is a great place for a young person to experience nature. That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said. One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Most of us are aware that cows release methane, but wetlands are also a major source of the gas. Wetlands host a community of microbes (微生物), including Archaea, which generate methane as a byproduct when they consume and digest components of organic matter. These microbes grow in oxygen-free environments like wet soils, which typically occur in the wetlands’ deeper levels. However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat (泥炭) and soil near the surface. To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions. To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.The result is the creation of far more methane than expected. Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production. 12. What motivated Zhang to study environmental issues? A. Her childhood experiences. B. The adventure in nature. C. Her educational background. D. The pressure from fellows. 13. Why did Zhang analyze microbes in the wetland soil? A. To examine the condition of surface soil. B. To explore the impact of methane on microbes. C. To study the role of oxygen in methane production. D. To calculate the amount of methane released by cows. 14. How might the findings help reduce methane from wetlands? A. By changing soil structures. B. By introducing new microbes. C. By blocking harmful chemicals. D. By adjusting soil oxygen levels. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How Does Methane Affect Climate Change? B. What Drives Methane Production in Wetlands? C. What Is the Link Between Oxygen and Methane? D. How Do Wetlands Contribute to Microbial Diversity? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. ____16____ Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. _____17_____ However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. _____18_____ After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. _____19_____ I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. ____20____ It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A. But I didn’t stop there. B. For me, it was a firm no. C. That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D. I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E. It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F. This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30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。 I love everything about our restaurant La Salle Rouge.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
