Kari Cox, a mother from West Virginia, lives a life full of quiet strength and unconditional love. She and her husband, Bill, a special education teacher, have adopted 14 children over the years, many of whom face physical disabilities or learning challenges. Their home is rarely quiet, but it is always filled with warmth — laughter echoing through the rooms, toys scattered across the floor, and the kind of love that can be felt even in silence.
For Kari, being a mother has meant more than following daily routines. It has meant sleepless nights, endless loads of laundry, and comforting arms always ready for a child in need. She listens, supports, and gives each child what they need most: a sense of belonging. “Without Kari, everything would fall apart,” Bill admits. Her children agree, often joking that she does almost all the work — but always with love, patience, and a smile.
Among their children was Maribeth, a girl they adopted from Africa. Bright, direct, and full of energy, she had autism (孤独症) and a unique way of seeing the world. From the beginning, she and Kari shared a bond marked by honesty, laughter, and deep understanding. Maribeth worked hard, won math competitions, and became the top student in her high school class. She was studying at university when calamity struck — she was killed in a car accident in 2021. The sudden loss left the family heartbroken, and Kari felt she could not go through such pain again.
“No more adoptions,” Kari said. But while going through Maribeth’s belongings, Kari found her journal. Inside were the words: “Life gives you what many may never have — a loving family that will always be here.”
These words gave Kari strength. Since then, she and Bill have welcomed four more children. Her journey reminds us: Even after deep sorrow, love can return and grow even stronger.
4. What can we learn about Kari from the first two paragraphs?
A. She grew up in a large and noisy family.
B. She focused on children with special talents.
C. She gave her children care and a loving family.
D. She relied heavily on her husband to raise children.
5. What does the author say about Maribeth?
A. She found it hard to adapt to the family.
B She shared a strong emotional bond with Kari.
C She planned to move abroad for further studies.
D. She was friendly and afraid to express her feelings.
6. What does the underlined word “calamity” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Fortune. B. Pain. C. Miracle. D. Disaster.
7. What was the turning point that made Kari choose to adopt again?
A. The advice given by her husband and children.
B. A visit to the school where Maribeth studied.
C. Maribeth’s written words in a journal.
D. A promise she made to Maribeth.
C
Nearly three quarters of Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, giving our planet its pale blue appearance from space. Yet a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution suggests that long ago, Earth’s seas may have been green, due to early changes in water chemistry and photosynthesis (光合作用).
More than three billion years ago, layers of iron-rich rock formed in the oceans; these are called banded iron formations. At that time, only single-celled organisms lived in the seas, and the land was a bare mix of grey and brown rocks. Rain washed iron from the land into the water, and undersea volcanoes added more. With almost no oxygen, the iron stayed dissolved (溶解的).
The first creatures to use sunlight for energy appeared in these ancient seas. They did not need oxygen but produced oxygen as a waste. This oxygen mixed with iron in the water and formed rust-colored (铁锈色的) dust. Once the iron was used up, extra oxygen began to fill the seas and then the air. This change, called the rise of oxygen, changed Earth’s climate and made complex life possible.
The iron layers show this shift: Grey bands formed when oxygen was rare, and red bands formed when iron met oxygen.
To see how green seas might have looked, scientists studied waters around Iwo Jima in the Pacific. There, the sea is green because of iron that has reacted with oxygen. Simple bacteria called blue-green algae live in these waters. These bacteria use two pigments (色素) to catch sunlight. One is chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants. The other, known as phycoerythrobilin or PEB, absorbs green light well and helps the bacteria grow.
Computer models show that oxygen made by early photosynthesis could have reacted with enough iron to turn the water green. Over millions of years, as iron supplies ran out, free oxygen rose in the oceans and atmosphere and the seas turned blue again. This research suggests that if we find a green planet in space, it might store early photosynthetic life.
8. What is the primary focus of the study?
A. The role of rust in changing ocean color.
B. The impact of plants in ocean ecosystems.
C. The role of volcanoes in shaping Earth’s early climate.
D. The discovery of complex life forms in ancient oceans.
9. What do banded iron formations mainly show?
A. A sudden rise in ocean temperature.
B. The early Earth’s low-oxygen atmosphere.
C. Mass extinction of single-celled life.
D. Continuous impacts of climate change.
10. What happened when the first creatures started using sunlight for energy?
A. They absorbed oxygen.
B. They only absorbed green light.
C. They caused the seas to turn green.
D. They helped change the color of the sea.
11. What might a green planet suggest according to the research?
A. It has a lot of iron but no oxygen.
B. It is covered by green plants.
C. It has early photosynthetic species.
D. Its seas are filled with simple bacteria.
D
Plastics are widely used in our daily lives, from packaging and clothing to medical tools and electronic devices. However, in recent years, scientists have paid increasing attention to microplastics — tiny plastic pieces smaller than 5 millimeters. These particles are often produced when larger plastic items break down over time, especially under sunlight or pressure. They can also enter the environment directly through daily products such as facial cleansers, clothes, or industrial waste.
In addition factories and wastewater treatment plants release large amounts of microplastics into rivers and oceans every day. Once in the environment, these small particles are difficult to remove. Over time, microplastics have spread across the planet. They have been found in the cold Arctic, the deep Mariana Trench, and even on the top of Mount Qomolangma. They are now a major part of marine pollution and can be eaten by sea animals like fish and shellfish. Through the food chain, these plastics may eventually enter the human body, raising concerns about their possible effects on health.
But the danger does not stop there. Microplastics are also present in the air we breathe. Research shows that people, especially those living in cities, may take in microplastics through breathing. Tiny plastic fibers from clothes, furniture, and traffic dust float in both indoor and outdoor air. Common plastic items — such as food containers, cups, and baby bottles — can also release microplastics when heated or reused too many times.
Although most microplastics are too large to pass through the skin, they may still stay on the surface or carry harmful chemicals. Some skin care products even contain plastic particles, increasing the chances of contact through daily use.
Scientists have found that microplastics may harm human cells and lead to problems in the lungs, immune system, or even brain. As research continues, it is important to understand the risks and reduce our exposure to these tiny but widespread pollutants.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How microplastics spread and harm nature.
B. Detailed steps of wastewater treatment.
C. The invention of plastic packaging.
D. The plastic pollution in the ocean.
13. What can we learn about human exposure to microplastics?
A. It is linked to daily matters people may not even notice.
B. It can be avoided by moving to countryside areas.
C. It mainly results from working in plastic factories.
D. It increases when people touch seawater directly.
14. Why are microplastics considered particularly dangerous?
A. They make plastic goods more expensive to produce.
B. They pose health risks while being hard to detect.
C. They are large enough to be easily noticed.
D. They cause direct death of marine animals.
15. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Daily Products That Make Life Easier
B. How Air Pollution Is Worse Than We Think
C. The Growth Of Plastic Production Worldwide
D. Microplastics: A Threat With A Huge Impact

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。
This is a story from way back at the beginning of the 1990s, In Poland, the educational system has a unique structure for primary school. In grades one through three, students are fortunate to have a single teacher who takes charge of every subject, including the energetic PE classes. This creates a strong bond between the teacher and the students, fostering a sense of familiarity and continuity.
However, starting from grade four, a significant shift occurs. The classes are divided into various specialized courses such as English, Polish, math, and more. This is when students begin to explore different academic disciplines in a more focused manner. This particular incident took place when I was in fourth grade, so I was just eleven years old at the time. I was very fortunate in terms of my English proficiency. My parents had been homeschooling me in English since I was six, giving me a solid foundation.
This was the very first English lesson with a seemingly new English teacher at my quite large primary school, which held a student population of 3,000 children. At the beginning, the lesson was going smoothly. The lady teacher, who was very strict with us, was engaging the class well. However, during the lesson, it seemed that she had made a minor error. It was something along the lines of writing “whole” when it should have been “hole”. In the classroom, nobody else seemed to take notice of it except me.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the lesson, everyone started to gather their things and walk out. I was in a dilemma (窘境). I was afraid that if I pointed out the teacher’s mistake, the teacher might have a negative opinion of me. But if I didn’t point it out, I was worried that my classmates would make the same mistake. What’s more, I was not quite sure whether it was really a mistake.
注意:
(1)续写词数应150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was really a difficult choice for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Little did I know that what I did would have a deep impact. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kari Cox, a mother from West Virginia, lives a life full of quiet strength and unconditional love. She and her husband, Bill, a special education teacher, have adopted 14 children over the years, many of whom face physical disabilities or learning challenges. Their home is rarely quiet, but it is always filled with warmth — laughter echoing through the rooms, toys scattered across the floor, and the kind of love that can be felt even in silence.
For Kari, being a mother has meant more than following daily routines. It has meant sleepless nights, endless loads of laundry, and comforting arms always ready for a child in need. She listens, supports, and gives each child what they need most: a sense of belonging. “Without Kari, everything would fall apart,” Bill admits. Her children agree, often joking that she does almost all the work — but always with love, patience, and a smile.
Among their children was Maribeth, a girl they adopted from Africa. Bright, direct, and full of energy, she had autism (孤独症) and a unique way of seeing the world. From the beginning, she and Kari shared a bond marked by honesty, laughter, and deep understanding. Maribeth worked hard, won math competitions, and became the top student in her high school class. She was studying at university when calamity struck — she was killed in a car accident in 2021. The sudden loss left the family heartbroken, and Kari felt she could not go through such pain again.
“No more adoptions,” Kari said. But while going through Maribeth’s belongings, Kari found her journal. Inside were the words: “Life gives you what many may never have — a loving family that will always be here.”
These words gave Kari strength. Since then, she and Bill have welcomed four more children. Her journey reminds us: Even after deep sorrow, love can return and grow even stronger.
4. What can we learn about Kari from the first two paragraphs?
A. She grew up in a large and noisy family.
B. She focused on children with special talents.
C. She gave her children care and a loving family.
D. She relied heavily on her husband to raise children.
5. What does the author say about Maribeth?
A. She found it hard to adapt to the family.
B. She shared a strong emotional bond with Kari.
C. She planned to move abroad for further studies.
D. She was friendly and afraid to express her feelings.
6. What does the underlined word “calamity” mean in paragraph 3?

细节理解题。 根据第四段““No more adoptions,” Kari said. But while going through Maribeth’s belongings, Kari found her journal. Inside were the words: “Life gives you what many may never have — a loving family that will always be here.”(“再也不收养了,”Kari说。但在整理Maribeth的遗物时,Kari发现了她的日记。日记里写着:“生活给了你许多人可能永远都得不到的东西——一个永远都会在这里的充满爱的家庭。”)”可知,Kari原本决定不再收养孩子,但在整理Maribeth的遗物时发现了她的日记,日记里的话给了Kari力量,让她和丈夫又收养了四个孩子。故选C。
C
Nearly three quarters of Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, giving our planet its pale blue appearance from space. Yet a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution suggests that long ago, Earth’s seas may have been green, due to early changes in water chemistry and photosynthesis (光合作用).
More than three billion years ago, layers of iron-rich rock formed in the oceans; these are called banded iron formations. At that time, only single-celled organisms lived in the seas, and the land was a bare mix of grey and brown rocks. Rain washed iron from the land into the water, and undersea volcanoes added more. With almost no oxygen, the iron stayed dissolved (溶解的).
The first creatures to use sunlight for energy appeared in these ancient seas. They did not need oxygen but produced oxygen as a waste. This oxygen mixed with iron in the water and formed rust-colored (铁锈色的) dust. Once the iron was used up, extra oxygen began to fill the seas and then the air. This change, called the rise of oxygen, changed Earth’s climate and made complex life possible.
The iron layers show this shift: Grey bands formed when oxygen was rare, and red bands formed when iron met oxygen.
To see how green seas might have looked, scientists studied waters around Iwo Jima in the Pacific. There, the sea is green because of iron that has reacted with oxygen. Simple bacteria called blue-green algae live in these waters. These bacteria use two pigments (色素) to catch sunlight. One is chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants. The other, known as phycoerythrobilin or PEB, absorbs green light well and helps the bacteria grow.
Computer models show that oxygen made by early photosynthesis could have reacted with enough iron to turn the water green. Over millions of years, as iron supplies ran out, free oxygen rose in the oceans and atmosphere and the seas turned blue again. This research suggests that if we find a green planet in space, it might store early photosynthetic life.
8. What is the primary focus of the study?
A. The role of rust in changing ocean color.
B. The impact of plants in ocean ecosystems.
C. The role of volcanoes in shaping Earth’s early climate.
D. The discovery of complex life forms in ancient oceans.
9. What do banded iron formations mainly show?
A. A sudden rise in ocean temperature.
B. The early Earth’s low-oxygen atmosphere.
C. Mass extinction of single-celled life.
D. Continuous impacts of climate change.
10. What happened when the first creatures started using sunlight for energy?
A. They absorbed oxygen.
B. They only absorbed green light.
C. They caused the seas to turn green.
D. They helped change the color of the sea.
11. What might a green planet suggest according to the research?
A. It has a lot of iron but no oxygen.
B. It is covered by green plants.
C. It has early photosynthetic species.
D. Its seas are filled with simple bacteria.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球早期海洋可能因化学反应呈绿色及原因探究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution suggests that long ago, Earth’s seas may have been green, due to early changes in water chemistry and photosynthesis (光合作用).(然而,《自然・生态与进化》杂志上的一项最新研究表明,很久以前,由于早期水化学和光合作用的变化,地球的海洋可能是绿色的)” 以及后文围绕 “地球海洋曾是绿色的原因、过程及相关证据” 展开的内容可知,该研究的核心焦点是探讨地球海洋颜色变化的相关原因,选项 A “铁锈在改变海洋颜色中的作用”(文中提及氧气与铁反应形成铁锈色尘埃,进而影响海洋颜色,属于研究核心内容的一部分)符合研究聚焦方向。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段中“More than three billion years ago, layers of iron-rich rock formed in the oceans; these are called banded iron formations.(三十多亿年前,海洋中形成了富含铁的岩层,这些岩层被称为条带状铁结构)”以及第四段“The iron layers show this shift: Grey bands formed when oxygen was rare, and red bands formed when iron met oxygen.(铁层显示了这种变化:当氧气稀少时形成灰色条带,当铁与氧气相遇时形成红色条带)”可知,条带状铁结构主要显示了早期地球大气中氧气稀少的情况,因为灰色条带是在氧气稀少时形成的,红色条带是铁与氧气相遇时形成的,这反映了当时大气中氧气的含量变化,说明早期地球大气中氧气含量低。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The first creatures to use sunlight for energy appeared in these ancient seas. They did not need oxygen but produced oxygen as a waste. This oxygen mixed with iron in the water and formed rust-colored (铁锈色的) dust.(第一批利用阳光获取能量的生物出现在这些古老的海洋中。它们不需要氧气,但会产生氧气作为废物。这种氧气与水中的铁混合,形成了铁锈色的尘埃)”以及第五段中“To see how green seas might have looked, scientists studied waters around Iwo Jima in the Pacific. There, the sea is green because of iron that has reacted with oxygen.(为了了解绿色海洋可能是什么样子,科学家研究了太平洋硫磺岛附近的水域。在那里,由于铁与氧气发生了反应,海水呈绿色)”和第六段中“Computer models show that oxygen made by early photosynthesis could have reacted with enough iron to turn the water green.(计算机模型显示,早期光合作用产生的氧气可能与足够的铁发生反应,使水变成绿色)”可知,当最早的生物开始利用阳光作为能源时,它们产生了氧气作为废物,氧气与水中的铁反应,可能使水变成绿色,即它们帮助改变了海洋的颜色。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“This research suggests that if we find a green planet in space, it might store early photosynthetic life.(这项研究表明,如果我们在太空中发现一颗绿色行星,它可能储存着早期进行光合作用的生命)”可知,根据这项研究,一颗绿色行星可能意味着它有早期进行光合作用的物种。故选C。
D
Plastics are widely used in our daily lives, from packaging and clothing to medical tools and electronic devices. However, in recent years, scientists have paid increasing attention to microplastics — tiny plastic pieces smaller than 5 millimeters. These particles are often produced when larger plastic items break down over time, especially under sunlight or pressure. They can also enter the environment directly through daily products such as facial cleansers, clothes, or industrial waste.
In addition, factories and wastewater treatment plants release large amounts of microplastics into rivers and oceans every day. Once in the environment, these small particles are difficult to remove. Over time, microplastics have spread across the planet. They have been found in the cold Arctic, the deep Mariana Trench, and even on the top of Mount Qomolangma. They are now a major part of marine pollution and can be eaten by sea animals like fish and shellfish. Through the food chain, these plastics may eventually enter the human body, raising concerns about their possible effects on health.
But the danger does not stop there. Microplastics are also present in the air we breathe. Research shows that people, especially those living in cities, may take in microplastics through breathing. Tiny plastic fibers from clothes, furniture, and traffic dust float in both indoor and outdoor air. Common plastic items — such as food containers, cups, and baby bottles — can also release microplastics when heated or reused too many times.
Although most microplastics are too large to pass through the skin, they may still stay on the surface or carry harmful chemicals. Some skin care products even contain plastic particles, increasing the chances of contact through daily use.
Scientists have found that microplastics may harm human cells and lead to problems in the lungs, immune system, or even brain. As research continues, it is important to understand the risks and reduce our exposure to these tiny but widespread pollutants.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How microplastics spread and harm nature.
B. Detailed steps of wastewater treatment.
C. The invention of plastic packaging.
D. The plastic pollution in the ocean.
13. What can we learn about human exposure to microplastics?
A. It is linked to daily matters people may not even notice.
B. It can be avoided by moving to countryside areas.
C. It mainly results from working in plastic factories.
D. It increases when people touch seawater directly.
14. Why are microplastics considered particularly dangerous?
A. They make plastic goods more expensive to produce.
B. They pose health risks while being hard to detect.
C. They are large enough to be easily noticed.
D. They cause direct death of marine animals.
15. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Daily Products That Make Life Easier
B. How Air Pollution Is Worse Than We Think
C. The Growth Of Plastic Production Worldwide
D. Microplastics: A Threat With A Huge Impact
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D

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。
This is a story from way back at the beginning of the 1990s, In Poland, the educational system has a unique structure for primary school. In grades one through three, students are fortunate to have a single teacher who takes charge of every subject, including the energetic PE classes. This creates a strong bond between the teacher and the students, fostering a sense of familiarity and continuity.
However, starting from grade four, a significant shift occurs. The classes are divided into various specialized courses such as English, Polish, math, and more. This is when students begin to explore different academic disciplines in a more focused manner. This particular incident took place when I was in fourth grade, so I was just eleven years old at the time. I was very fortunate in terms of my English proficiency. My parents had been homeschooling me in English since I was six, giving me a solid foundation.
This was the very first English lesson with a seemingly new English teacher at my quite large primary school, which held a student population of 3,000 children. At the beginning, the lesson was going smoothly. The lady teacher, who was very strict with us, was engaging the class well. However, during the lesson, it seemed that she had made a minor error. It was something along the lines of writing “whole” when it should have been “hole”. In the classroom, nobody else seemed to take notice of it except me.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the lesson, everyone started to gather their things and walk out. I was in a dilemma (窘境). I was afraid that if I pointed out the teacher’s mistake, the teacher might have a negative opinion of me. But if I didn’t point it out, I was worried that my classmates would make the same mistake. What’s more, I was not quite sure whether it was really a mistake.
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。
It was really a difficult choice for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Little did I know that what I did would have a deep impact. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
It was really a difficult choice for me. My hands trembled as I gripped my textbook, watching the teacher pack her things. The classroom emptied fast, and soon only she and I stayed. I took a deep breath, heart pounding. “Excuse me, Ms. Teacher,” I whispered, voice barely audible. She turned, surprised on her strict face. I pointed to the whiteboard’s “whole,” fingers shaking. “I... I think it should be ‘hole’—like a hole in the ground,” I explained, eyes fixed on the floor, too scared to meet her gaze.
Little did I know that what I did would have a deep impact. The teacher stared at the whiteboard, then a small smile showed. “You’re right, dear,” she said, voice softer. She picked up the eraser and corrected it. “Thank you for being brave to tell me. Good learners aren’t afraid to correct.” From that day, she often called on me in class, and I grew more confident in English. Classmates even came to me for help with words. That small courage not only changed her opinion but also made me love helping others learn.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间和事件发展为线索展开,讲述了20世纪90年代波兰小学四年级的“我”,因父母自小辅导英语拥有较好基础,在第一节英语课上发现严格的新英语老师将“hole”误写为“whole”,课后陷入是否指出错误的窘境——既担心老师对自己有负面看法,又怕同学跟着犯错,还不确定是否真的是老师出错的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“这对我来说真是个艰难的选择。”可知,第一段可描写“我”在教室逐渐空荡后,内心的纠结与挣扎,最终鼓起勇气留下,向老师小声指出板书错误的过程,着重刻画“我”紧张的动作与心理。
②由第二段首句内容“我当时根本不知道,自己的所作所为会产生深远的影响。”可知,第二段可描写老师面对错误的反应——先是确认错误,接着微笑肯定“我”的勇敢并改正,后续还因此常关注“我”,让“我”在英语学习中更自信,甚至带动同学向“我”请教的积极影响。
2.续写线索:“我”内心纠结——“我”留下指错——老师反应——老师课堂关注——“我”自信提升——“我”向同学请教
3.词汇激活
行为类
①指出错误:point out the mistake/point to the whiteboard’s “whole”/explain the correct word
②收拾东西:pack her things/grip my textbook/gather their things
③改正错误:correct it/pick up the eraser
④寻求帮助:come to me for help/ask for help
情绪类
①紧张:hands trembled/heart pounding/voice barely audible/fingers shaking/too scared to meet her gaze
②积极:a small smile showed/voice softer/called on me in class/grew more confident/love helping others
【点睛】【高分句型1】I pointed to the whiteboard’s “whole,” fingers shaking.(运用了独立主格结构“fingers shaking”作伴随状语)
【高分句型2】““I... I think it should be ‘hole’—like a hole in the ground,” I explained, eyes fixed on the floor, too scared to meet her gaze. (运用了独立主格结构“eyes fixed on the floor”,“too...to...”结构表示“太……而不能……”)
