Moya Crokett has just wrapped up her volunteer service with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) in Bolivia, a country in South America.
In May 2024, Moya first spotted a UN Volunteers recruitment (招募) notice and applied without hesitation. “I’ve always been passionate about volunteering and making a difference,” she explained — a drive evident throughout her university years, when she spent three years on a public welfare committee.
Even with her rich experience, landing the UN role wasn’t easy. Moya studied the UN’s mission, taught herself basic Spanish and learned about Bolivia’s history, environment and culture. Her hard work paid off, and she was finally accepted.
Upon arriving in La Paz, Bolivia, the world’s highest capital city, Moya struggled with altitude sickness (高原反应) and stomach issues from the local food. But she adjusted fast. When heavy rainfall triggered (引发) landslides, as a WFP resource mobilization assistant, she rushed to the disaster zone to help distribute relief supplies, ensuring families got food and other essential aids. She also used her photojournalism skills from university to film interviews for WFP’s social media.
Besides the volunteer work, cultural exchange was an important part of Moya’s experience in Bolivia. She shared Canadian food with locals and fellow volunteers. On International Volunteer Day 2024, Moya and her peers talked about the responsibilities and challenges of their work. “Despite different nationalities, we are all united by a shared belief: the desire to help and serve others.” she noted.
Through her experience in Bolivia, Moya realized that volunteering needs strong belief and commitment. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve this welcoming country so young, and I’m proud of the work,” she said. Her journey to this less-developed country showcased her courage, faith and independence.
4. What motivated Moya to apply for the UN Volunteers Program?
A. Her desire to travel to South America.
B. Her interest in Bolivianculture.
C. Her university’s requirement for graduation.
D. Her enthusiasm for volunteering and making a positive impact.
5. To get accepted by the program, Moya made all the following preparations except ______.
A. Learning Spanish. B. Practicing photojournalism skills.
C. knowing about UN’s mission. D. Acquiring some knowledge of Bolivia.
6. Which of the following best describe Moya’s work in Bolivia?
A. Simple yet enjoyable. B. Dangerous and stressful.
C. Challenging but meaningful. D. Demanding and well-paid.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. An Unforgettable Journey to Bolivia. B. Serving with Courage and faith.
C. Challenges in Volunteering Work. D. A Canadian Girl’s Adventure.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Moya studied the UN’s mission, taught herself basic Spanish and learned about Bolivia’s history, environment and culture. (Moya研究了联合国的使命,自学了基础西班牙语,并了解了玻利维亚的历史、环境和文化。)”可知,Moya为申请该项目所做的准备包括学习西班牙语、了解联合国的使命、掌握玻利维亚的相关知识。而B选项“练习新闻摄影技能”是她在大学期间就已经具备的能力,并非为此次联合国志愿者项目专门做的准备,故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Moya struggled with altitude sickness (高原反应) and stomach issues from the local food. But she adjusted fast. When heavy rainfall triggered (引发) landslides, as a WFP resource mobilization assistant, she rushed to the disaster zone to help distribute relief supplies, ensuring families got food and other essential aids. She also used her photojournalism skills from university to film interviews for WFP’s social media. (Moya遭遇了高原反应和因当地食物引起的肠胃问题,但她很快就适应了。当暴雨引发山体滑坡时,作为世界粮食计划署资源调动助理,她赶赴灾区协助分发救援物资,确保各个家庭都能获得食物和其他必要的援助。她还运用大学所学的新闻摄影技能,为世界粮食计划署的社交媒体拍摄访谈视频。)”可知,Moya的工作面临着高原反应、灾区救援等挑战;再结合第五段中的“Besides the volunteer work, cultural exchange was an important part of Moya’s experience in Bolivia. She shared Canadian food with locals and fellow volunteers. On International Volunteer Day 2024, Moya and her peers talked about the responsibilities and challenges of their work. “Despite different nationalities, we are all united by a shared belief: the desire to help and serve others.” she noted. (除了志愿工作,文化交流也是莫亚(Moya)在玻利维亚经历中重要的一部分。她会和当地居民以及其他志愿者分享加拿大美食。在 2024 年国际志愿者日当天,莫亚和同行们探讨了工作中的职责与挑战。她表示:“尽管我们来自不同国家,但共同的信念将我们团结在一起,那就是帮助他人、服务他人的愿望。”)”以及最后一段中的“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve this welcoming country so young, and I’m proud of the work, (能在这么年轻的时候有机会为这个热情好客的国家服务,我心怀感激,也为这份工作感到自豪,)”可推断,Moya在玻利维亚的工作虽然具有挑战性,但却富有意义。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章围绕Moya在玻利维亚的联合国志愿工作展开,第四段体现了她克服高原反应、参与灾区救援的勇气,第五、六段强调了她“帮助他人、服务他人”的信念,最后一段中的“Her journey to this less-developed country showcased her courage, faith and independence. (她前往这个欠发达国家的经历,展现了她的勇气、信念和独立性。)”更是点明了核心。B选项“怀揣勇气与信念服务”既涵盖了Moya的行动(服务),也体现了她的核心品质(勇气、信念),能够概括全文主旨,适合作标题,故选B项。
C
Ugly dogs and other less attractive pets may not be the prettiest, yet they still pull at our heartstrings. What’s going on?
Every June in Petaluma, California, judges examine a lineup of funny faces, crooked teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers (胡须) to decide the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. The dogs competing for this questionable title often melt the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. Funny-looking pets are also common in viral internet content.
So why do we find odd-looking animals so appealing?
Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. These features were coined “baby schema” by Lorenz in 1943.
Animals such as blobfish, pugs (哈巴狗), and bulldogs all share these baby-like features that cause a caring response from humans. They trigger a natural instinct to nurture and protect.
There are other reasons we like “ugly-cute” animals. Some, like the blobfish or naked mole rat, live in extreme environments. Scientists study these animals to understand if their biology might provide insights that could lead to treatments for human health issues like cancer and heart disease.
But there are concerns with this trend. Vets urge people not to choose flat-faced dogs because they have serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs are bred to have short noses and often experience trouble breathing, skin infections and eye issues. Many pugs make snoring and wheezing noises due to their blocked airways.
So while silly features such as big eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to rethink our love of “ugly-cute” pets.
8. According to the text, what event takes place every June in Petaluma, California?
A. A conference on animal evolution. B. A competition for the “World’s Ugliest Dog.”
C. A health check-up event for flat-faced dogs. D. A study on animal internet pet content.
9. What do we know about “baby schema”?
A. It refers to baby animals’ behavior. B. It ensures humans care for pets.
C. It stimulates human’s desire to protect. D. It helps adults recognize their babies.
10. Why do scientists study animals like the blobfish or naked mole rat?
A. To explore potential human health treatments. B. To prove evolution influence.
C. To cure their serious health problems. D. To train them for extreme environments.
11. Why vets warn people against choosing flat-faced dogs?
A. They require special care. B. They are costly to adopt.
C. They have severe physical restrictions. D. They have short lifespans.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。主要探讨人类喜爱“丑萌”宠物的原因,以及该趋势背后隐藏的宠物健康隐患。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Every June in Petaluma, California, judges examine a lineup of funny faces, crooked teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers (胡须) to decide the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. (每年六月,在加利福尼亚州的佩塔卢马,评委们会审视一排有着滑稽面孔、歪牙、大眼睛和凌乱胡须的狗狗,以决出“世界最丑狗狗大赛”的冠军。)”可知,每年六月在该地举办的活动是“世界最丑狗狗大赛”。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“human attraction to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. These features were coined “baby schema” by Lorenz in 1943. (人类对大眼睛、大脑袋、柔软身体等婴儿般特征的喜爱,是一种进化适应,有助于确保成年人照顾后代,保障物种的生存。这些特征在1943年被洛伦兹命名为“婴儿图式”。)”以及第五段中的“Animals such as blobfish, pugs (哈巴狗), and bulldogs all share these baby-like features that cause a caring response from humans. They trigger a natural instinct to nurture and protect. (水滴鱼、哈巴狗、斗牛犬等动物都拥有这些婴儿般的特征,能引发人类的关爱反应,激发人们照顾和保护的本能。)”可知,“婴儿图式”会刺激人类产生保护欲。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Some, like the blobfish or naked mole rat, live in extreme environments. Scientists study these animals to understand if their biology might provide insights that could lead to treatments for human health issues like cancer and heart disease. (有些动物,比如水滴鱼或裸鼹鼠,生活在极端环境中。科学家研究这些动物,是为了探究它们的生理特性是否能为癌症、心脏病等人类健康问题的治疗提供思路。)”可知,科学家研究这类动物是为了探索潜在的人类健康治疗方法。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Vets urge people not to choose flat-faced dogs because they have serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs are bred to have short noses and often experience trouble breathing, skin infections and eye issues. Many pugs make snoring and wheezing noises due to their blocked airways. (兽医们呼吁人们不要选择扁脸狗狗,因为它们存在严重的健康问题。哈巴狗和法国斗牛犬经人工培育后鼻子短小,经常出现呼吸困难、皮肤感染和眼部问题。许多哈巴狗还会因气道堵塞而发出打鼾和喘息声。)”可知,扁脸狗狗有严重的身体机能限制,因此兽医发出警告。故选C项。
D
Living in a house made of fungi (真菌) may sound like something from a sci-fi movie. But a new study in Cell Reports Physical Science shows that we’re getting closer to making it a reality.
Normally, people use cement (水泥) to build houses. However, it can harm the environment. Chatham House, a think tank, reported that more than 4.4 billion tons of cement produced every year are responsible for about 8 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The research team added special bacteria to fungal mycelium (菌丝体), which connects fungal networks underground like roots. The bacteria create calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), the substance in eggshells, making the soft mycelium hard and strong. This process, called biomineralization (生物矿化), uses tiny, living things to grow building materials.
While other biomineralized building materials typically last only a few days or weeks, this new material stays strong for at least a month. This might be because, while the bacteria made the mycelium hard, the structure it forms also makes the bacteria stronger. When bacteria live within a material for longer, they can do cool things like fixing themselves when damaged and cleaning up pollution, said the UK Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
“However, before using the new material for homes or other buildings, more testing is needed,” Avinash Manjula from Northeastern University in the US told CNN. He mentioned that small experiments don’t reflect the real strength of the material. “I think in the future, they could be useful for single-story buildings, these smaller structures — it’s very much feasible.” he said.
Another study shows that biomineralization has already been widely applied in many fields, including repairing ancient buildings and making soil stable.
While looking promising in labs, it faces significant challenges in real-world applications. Releasing these microbes into the environment could harm nature or people, as there are toxic byproducts (有毒的副产品) that need careful management.
Different places have their own rules, making it tough to use these technologies everywhere. Moreover, construction biotechnology needs experts from diverse fields, such as biology, engineering and materials science, to work together but they often operate independently.
12. What is the problem with using cement to build houses according to the passage?
A. It’s not strong enough. B. It consumes too much energy
C. It’s too expensive. D. It’s bad for the environment.
13. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Achievable. B. Affordable. C. Impossible. D. Comfortable.
14. What can be inferred about the current stage of the new fungal building material?
A. It will soon replace cement in large-scale construction.
B. It is already widely used in repairing ancient structures.
C. It requires further real-world testing before practical application.
D. It produces no toxic byproducts during production.
15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. The challenges of using biomineralized materials.
B. The future of biomineralized materials.
C. The wide application of biomineralization.
D. The harmful effects of construction biotechnology.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了真菌建筑材料的研发、优势,以及其实际应用前需解决的测试与挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Normally, people use cement (水泥) to build houses. However, it can harm the environment. Chatham House, a think tank, reported that more than 4.4 billion tons of cement produced every year are responsible for about 8 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. (通常,人们用水泥建房。然而,水泥会危害环境。智库查塔姆研究所报告称,每年生产的44亿多吨水泥约占全球二氧化碳排放量的8%)”可知,用水泥建房的问题在于它对环境有害。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的““However, before using the new material for homes or other buildings, more testing is needed,” Avinash Manjula from Northeastern University in the US told CNN. He mentioned that small experiments don’t reflect the real strength of the material. “I think in the future, they could be useful for single-story buildings, these smaller structures — it’s very much feasible.” he said. (“然而,在将这种新材料用于家庭或其他建筑之前,还需要进行更多的测试,”美国东北大学的阿维纳什·曼朱拉告诉CNN。他提到小实验并不能反映材料的真实强度。他说:“我认为,在未来,它们可以用于单层建筑,这些较小的结构,这是非常feasible。”)”可知,前文提到材料需更多测试,但专家认为其用于小型建筑是有可能实现的。由此可知,划线词feasible意为“可实现的”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的““However, before using the new material for homes or other buildings, more testing is needed,” Avinash Manjula from Northeastern University in the US told CNN. (“然而,在将这种新材料用于家庭或其他建筑之前,还需要进行更多的测试,”美国东北大学的阿维纳什•曼朱拉告诉CNN)”以及第七段中的“While looking promising in labs, it faces significant challenges in real-world applications.(虽然在实验室中前景良好,但它在实际应用中面临重大挑战)”可推知,这种新型真菌建筑材料在实际应用前需要进一步的现实测试。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“While looking promising in labs, it faces significant challenges in real-world applications. Releasing these microbes into the environment could harm nature or people, as there are toxic byproducts (有毒的副产品) that need careful management.(尽管这种材料在实验室中前景良好,但在实际应用中却面临着重大挑战。将这些微生物释放到环境中可能会危害自然环境或人类,因为其产生的有毒副产品需要谨慎处理)”及最后一段“Different places have their own rules, making it tough to use these technologies everywhere. Moreover, construction biotechnology needs experts from diverse fields, such as biology, engineering and materials science, to work together but they often operate independently.(不同地区有各自的规定,这使得这些技术难以在所有地方推广使用。此外,建筑生物技术需要来自生物学、工程学、材料科学等不同领域的专家合作,但这些专家往往各自开展工作)”可知,最后两段主要讨论了生物矿化材料应用面临的挑战。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了北京外国语大学举办的国际文化节上,印尼学生Wenny(温妮)和同学们通过展示传统竹制乐器angklung(昂格隆),向参观者介绍印尼文化,同时概述了文化节的规模、意义及学校在促进国际交流方面的努力。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:北京外国语大学校园内,Wenny和同学们身着色彩缤纷印尼传统蜡染服饰,在印尼展位上忙碌着,向参观者介绍angklung —— 一种传统的竹制乐器。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词were busy,所以此处应用introduce的非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语Wenny and her classmates之间为主动关系,所以用其现在分词作伴随状语。故填introducing。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:好奇的学生和孩子们用竹管尝试演奏,发出悦耳的音乐声。experiment with为固定短语,意为“用……做实验;尝试……”,符合语境。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:20岁的Wenny是北京外国语大学印尼语专业的大二学生,她的展位是该校今年举办的国际文化节众多展位之一。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词was,所以此处应用host的非谓语动词形式,因其与被修饰的名词International Cultural Festival之间为被动关系,所以用其过去分词作后置定语。故填hosted。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:该节日在周六举办,吸引了来自北京各高校的中外学生以及当地居民。根据Held on a Saturday以及上下文语境可知,节日举办是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,即draw用过去式。故填drew。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“这是一个向年轻人展示我们国家文化的绝佳机会。真的很有趣。”Wenny说。opportunity为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一个机会”,且excellent是以元音音素开头的单词,所以应用不定冠词an来修饰。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:自2018年首届举办以来,该活动已成功举办了三届。修饰动词held,应用success的副词形式successfully作状语,意为“成功地”。故填successfully。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:该校国际学生办公室的Kai Lin老师表示,该活动通过多元文化摊位、校园游行、才艺表演等多种活动,将五大洲的年轻人聚集在一起,搭建了一个跨越地域和语言障碍的全球交流平台。修饰名词activities,应用vary的形容词形式various作定语,意为“各种各样的”。故填various。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是a global exchange platform,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用that或which来引导。故填that/which。
44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:Kai Lin补充道:“我校有来自近百个国家的学生,语言课程涵盖102种语言,旨在加强国际联系和文化交流。”根据空前的nearly one hundred可知,此处应用可数名词country的复数形式。故填countries。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。修饰名词university,应用we的形容词性物主代词形式our作定语,表示“我们的大学”。故填our。

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。
Charles Rose lived in the country with his father, who instructed him in reading and writing. Mr. Rose told his son that once his morning lessons were finished, he might amuse himself for one hour as he pleased.
Not far from their home flowed a river, beside which stood a hut of a poor fisherman. The man supported his family by selling fish, while his wife worked tirelessly at her spinning wheel from dawn until dusk. They both worked very hard to make ends meet, yet they were deeply concerned that their only son would never learn to read and write. They could not teach him themselves, and they were too poor to send him to school.
One afternoon, Charles called at the fisherman’s hut to inquire about his missing dog. There he found the little boy, Joe, seated by the table, intently crawling marks with a piece of chalk. Charles asked him whether he was drawing pictures.
“No.” replied Joe, “I am trying to write, but I know only two words. Those I saw upon a sign and I am trying to write them.”
“If I could only learn to read and write,” he continued with a sigh, “I would be the happiest boy in the world.”
“Then I will make you happy” Charles declared, “I may be young, but I can teach you that. My father allows me one hour each day to do as I wish. If you are willing to learn, you will soon know how to read and write.”
Both Joe and his mother were on the verge of kneeling down to thank Charles. They told him this was what they desired more than anything else.
So, the next day when the hour came, he put his book in his pocket, and went to teach Joe. Joe learned very fast, and Charles soon began to teach him how to write.
Sometime after, a gentleman called on Mr. Rose, and said, “Charles didn’t always amuse himself. I often see him go to the house of the fisherman. I fear he goes out in their boat.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The moment the gentleman left, Mr. Rose rushed out to search for his son. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following day, Mr. Rose took Charles to a bookstore in the town. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】【参考范文】
The moment the gentleman left, Mr. Rose rushed out to search for his son. His mind filled with worry about Charles’ safety, he finally reached the small hut. Mr. Rose was about to push the door open when a soft murmur from inside made him pause. Curious, he leaned gently against the window and peeked in. There Charles bent over the table, holding a piece of chalk to guide Joe’s hand as they traced letters together with Joe’s eyes sparkling with excitement. Mr. Rose’s heart softened instantly— his son was using the hour to give warmth to those in need. He knocked softly, and when Charles turned around, he smiled and said “It’s time to go home, but we can come back tomorrow.”
The following day, Mr. Rose took Charles to a bookstore in the town. He picked out two new primer books— one for Charles, and the other for Joe— and even bought a small box of chalk. “Let’s make sure you both have the tools to learn well.” Mr. Rose said, patting Charles’ shoulder, “Every child deserves a chance to read and write.” From that day on, Charles’ morning lessons included Joe— they sat side by side at Mr. Rose’s table, turning pages and practicing words together. Charles still had his “free hour”, but now it was filled with laughter as he and Joe reviewed what they’d learned, making that small corner of the country a place of hope and friendship.

Moya Crokett has just wrapped up her volunteer service with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) in Bolivia, a country in South America.
In May 2024, Moya first spotted a UN Volunteers recruitment (招募) notice and applied without hesitation. “I’ve always been passionate about volunteering and making a difference,” she explained — a drive evident throughout her university years, when she spent three years on a public welfare committee.
Even with her rich experience, landing the UN role wasn’t easy. Moya studied the UN’s mission, taught herself basic Spanish and learned about Bolivia’s history, environment and culture. Her hard work paid off, and she was finally accepted.
Upon arriving in La Paz, Bolivia, the world’s highest capital city, Moya struggled with altitude sickness (高原反应) and stomach issues from the local food. But she adjusted fast. When heavy rainfall triggered (引发) landslides, as a WFP resource mobilization assistant, she rushed to the disaster zone to help distribute relief supplies, ensuring families got food and other essential aids. She also used her photojournalism skills from university to film interviews for WFP’s social media.
Besides the volunteer work, cultural exchange was an important part of Moya’s experience in Bolivia. She shared Canadian food with locals and fellow volunteers. On International Volunteer Day 2024, Moya and her peers talked about the responsibilities and challenges of their work. “Despite different nationalities, we are all united by a shared belief: the desire to help and serve others.” she noted.
Through her experience in Bolivia, Moya realized that volunteering needs strong belief and commitment. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve this welcoming country so young, and I’m proud of the work,” she said. Her journey to this less-developed country showcased her courage, faith and independence.
4. What motivated Moya to apply for the UN Volunteers Program?
A. Her desire to travel to South America.
B. Her interest in Bolivianculture.
C. Her university’s requirement for graduation.
D. Her enthusiasm for volunteering and making a positive impact.
5. To get accepted by the program, Moya made all the following preparations except ______.
A. Learning Spanish. B. Practicing photojournalism skills.
C. knowing about UN’s mission. D. Acquiring some knowledge of Bolivia.
6. Which of the following best describe Moya’s work in Bolivia?
A. Simple yet enjoyable. B. Dangerous and stressful.
C. Challenging but meaningful. D. Demanding and well-paid.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. An Unforgettable Journey to Bolivia. B. Serving with Courage and faith.
C. Challenges in Volunteering Work. D. A Canadian Girl’s Adventure.

Ugly dogs and other less attractive pets may not be the prettiest, yet they still pull at our heartstrings. What’s going on?
Every June in Petaluma, California, judges examine a lineup of funny faces, crooked teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers (胡须) to decide the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. The dogs competing for this questionable title often melt the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. Funny-looking pets are also common in viral internet content.
So why do we find odd-looking animals so appealing?
Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. These features were coined “baby schema” by Lorenz in 1943.
Animals such as blobfish, pugs (哈巴狗), and bulldogs all share these baby-like features that cause a caring response from humans. They trigger a natural instinct to nurture and protect.
There are other reasons we like “ugly-cute” animals. Some, like the blobfish or naked mole rat, live in extreme environments. Scientists study these animals to understand if their biology might provide insights that could lead to treatments for human health issues like cancer and heart disease.
But there are concerns with this trend. Vets urge people not to choose flat-faced dogs because they have serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs are bred to have short noses and often experience trouble breathing, skin infections and eye issues. Many pugs make snoring and wheezing noises due to their blocked airways.
So while silly features such as big eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to rethink our love of “ugly-cute” pets.
8. According to the text, what event takes place every June in Petaluma, California?
A. A conference on animal evolution. B. A competition for the “World’s Ugliest Dog.”
C. A health check-up event for flat-faced dogs. D. A study on animal internet pet content.
9. What do we know about “baby schema”?
A. It refers to baby animals’ behavior. B. It ensures humans care for pets.
C. It stimulates human’s desire to protect. D. It helps adults recognize their babies.
10. Why do scientists study animals like the blobfish or naked mole rat?
A. To explore potential human health treatments. B. To prove evolution influence.
C. To cure their serious health problems. D. To train them for extreme environments.
11. Why vets warn people against choosing flat-faced dogs?
A. They require special care. B. They are costly to adopt.
C They have severe physical restrictions. D. They have short lifespans.
D
Living in a house made of fungi (真菌) may sound like something from a sci-fi movie. But a new study in Cell Reports Physical Science shows that we’re getting closer to making it a reality.
Normally, people use cement (水泥) to build houses. However, it can harm the environment. Chatham House, a think tank, reported that more than 4.4 billion tons of cement produced every year are responsible for about 8 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The research team added special bacteria to fungal mycelium (菌丝体), which connects fungal networks underground like roots. The bacteria create calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), the substance in eggshells, making the soft mycelium hard and strong. This process, called biomineralization (生物矿化), uses tiny, living things to grow building materials.
While other biomineralized building materials typically last only a few days or weeks, this new material stays strong for at least a month. This might be because, while the bacteria made the mycelium hard, the structure it forms also makes the bacteria stronger. When bacteria live within a material for longer, they can do cool things like fixing themselves when damaged and cleaning up pollution, said the UK Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
“However, before using the new material for homes or other buildings, more testing is needed,” Avinash Manjula from Northeastern University in the US told CNN. He mentioned that small experiments don’t reflect the real strength of the material. “I think in the future, they could be useful for single-story buildings, these smaller structures — it’s very much feasible.” he said.
Another study shows that biomineralization has already been widely applied in many fields, including repairing ancient buildings and making soil stable.
While looking promising in labs, it faces significant challenges in real-world applications. Releasing these microbes into the environment could harm nature or people, as there are toxic byproducts (有毒副产品) that need careful management.
Different places have their own rules, making it tough to use these technologies everywhere. Moreover, construction biotechnology needs experts from diverse fields, such as biology, engineering and materials science, to work together but they often operate independently.
12. What is the problem with using cement to build houses according to the passage?
A. It’s not strong enough. B. It consumes too much energy
C It’s too expensive. D. It’s bad for the environment.
13 What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Achievable. B. Affordable. C. Impossible. D. Comfortable.
14. What can be inferred about the current stage of the new fungal building material?
A. It will soon replace cement in large-scale construction.
B. It is already widely used in repairing ancient structures.
C. It requires further real-world testing before practical application.
D. It produces no toxic byproducts during production.
15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. The challenges of using biomineralized materials.
B. The future of biomineralized materials.
C. The wide application of biomineralization.
D. The harmful effects of construction biotechnology.

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。
Charles Rose lived in the country with his father, who instructed him in reading and writing. Mr. Rose told his son that once his morning lessons were finished, he might amuse himself for one hour as he pleased.
Not far from their home flowed a river, beside which stood a hut of a poor fisherman. The man supported his family by selling fish, while his wife worked tirelessly at her spinning wheel from dawn until dusk. They both worked very hard to make ends meet, yet they were deeply concerned that their only son would never learn to read and write. They could not teach him themselves, and they were too poor to send him to school.
One afternoon, Charles called at the fisherman’s hut to inquire about his missing dog. There he found the little boy, Joe, seated by the table, intently crawling marks with a piece of chalk. Charles asked him whether he was drawing pictures.
“No.” replied Joe, “I am trying to write, but I know only two words. Those I saw upon a sign and I am trying to write them.”
“If I could only learn to read and write,” he continued with a sigh, “I would be the happiest boy in the world.”
“Then I will make you happy,” Charles declared, “I may be young, but I can teach you that. My father allows me one hour each day to do as I wish. If you are willing to learn, you will soon know how to read and write.”
Both Joe and his mother were on the verge of kneeling down to thank Charles. They told him this was what they desired more than anything else.
So, the next day when the hour came, he put his book in his pocket, and went to teach Joe. Joe learned very fast, and Charles soon began to teach him how to write.
Sometime after, a gentleman called on Mr. Rose, and said, “Charles didn’t always amuse himself. I often see him go to the house of the fisherman. I fear he goes out in their boat.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The moment the gentleman left, Mr. Rose rushed out to search for his son. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following day, Mr. Rose took Charles to a bookstore in the town. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
