This month’s smartest tech
I’VE GOT NO STRINGS
Eufy says its new model, E15 (out in June), is fully “self-driving” — no wires or pegs (钉子) needed, which could make it a game changer. Aimed at smaller lawns (800 m2 rather than 1,200 m2), the E15 is smart enough to detect trees, borders and even pets while cutting. It’ll even detect when it rains or gets dark and head back to base.
Eufy E15 £1,499, eufy.com

Last month, Nintendo launched the successor to one of the most popular games of all time. The Switch 2 will cost £395 and Mario Kart World £65 in the UK. You just need to pay £429 if you bundle (捆绑购买) them (a set). Buy the Switch 2 alone now and you’ll get a 10% discount. If you buy 2 sets or more, you can enjoy a 20% discount. Any Nintendo console isn’t really about the tech specs, it’s about how it makes you feel when you knock that smug Donkey Kong off his kart on the last corner. We’ll see you in line.
Nintendo Switch 2 From £395, nintendo.com
JUST LOOK AT IT!
While we wouldn’t recommend dropping $10,000 on a record player, we can’t ignore how good this turntable looks. The idea here is that sound and light unite. As the player’s needle dances across the surface of the record, the light shines in harmony. Plus, the turntable itself is held up in the air via magnetic suspension, which, as well as looking unbelievably cool, means it’s isolated from vibrations (震动) to provide maximum musical faithfulness.
Audio Technica Hotaru $10,000 (£7,480), audio-technica.com
1. What is an advantage of E15?
A. It requires a buried wire to operate. B. It can detect obstacles while cutting.
C. It is designed for lawns over 1,200 m2. D. It can predict when it rains or gets dark.
2. How much do you pay for 2 Switches with 2 Mario Kart World the least?
A. £736 B. £617 C. £686 D. £790
3. What helps Audio Technica Hotaru provide maximum musical faithfulness?
A. Its amazing look. B. Its creative design.
C. Its application of vibrations. D. Its combination of sound and light.

【导语】这是一篇应用文,文章介绍本月三款智能科技产品(Eufy E15自动割草机、任天堂 Switch 2游戏机及配套游戏、Audio Technica Hotaru唱片机)的特点、价格及购买优惠等信息。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“the E15 is smart enough to detect trees, borders and even pets while cutting. (E15足够智能,在割草时能够识别树木、边界,甚至宠物。)”可知,E15的优势之一是割草时能识别障碍物。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Switch 2 will cost £395 and Mario Kart World £65 in the UK. You just need to pay £429 if you bundle (捆绑购买) them (a set). Buy the Switch 2 alone now and you’ll get a 10% discount. If you buy 2 sets or more, you can enjoy a 20% discount. (Switch 2在英国售价为395英镑,《马里奥赛车世界》售价为65英镑。如果你把它们捆绑在一起(一套),你只需要支付429英镑。现在单独购买Switch 2,可以享受9折优惠。如果您购买2套或以上,您可以享受8折优惠。)”可知,2套捆绑套装的原价为429×2=858英镑,享受20%折扣后需支付858×(1-20%)=686 英镑,这是购买2台Switch 2和2款《马里奥赛车世界》的最低价格(单独购买无此优惠)。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Plus, the turntable itself is held up in the air via magnetic suspension, which, as well as looking unbelievably cool, means it’s isolated from vibrations to provide maximum musical faithfulness. (此外,这款唱片机本身通过磁悬浮技术悬浮在空中,这不仅看起来极其酷炫,还意味着它能隔绝震动,从而实现最高的音乐保真度。)”可知,磁悬浮设计(属于创意设计的一部分)是实现高音乐保真度的关键。故选B。
B
When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance (遗产) from him is a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles.
In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle.
While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently.
“You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me.
However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.
4. Why did the author mention his father in the article?
A. To express the author’s love for his father.
B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him.
C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles.
D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer.
5. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4?
A You were paid in cash.
B. You were paid lots of money.
C. You were paid very little money.
D. You were paid with valuable items.
6. What made the author feel hurt?
A. The editor refused to publish his article.
B. His article was published in print as proposed.
C. His article was published online with a lower pay.
D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts.
7. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Like father, like son.
B. Follow your own path, and let others talk.
C. What is done with passion is done well.
D. Love what you do and do what you love.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者受父亲影响,坚持写作,不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱,追寻内心激情。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.(不过,和父亲一样,我也看到了积极的一面——很多人读了这篇文章,并且很喜欢,他们在社交媒体上分享着喜悦和赞美。这极大地增强了我的信心)”和最后一段中“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy.(如今,每当我心生疑虑时,我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏,只有用上一定数量的单词,而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联,才能完成,才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性,从而实现我的写作目的吗?于是,现在我开始接受各种写作任务,有些报酬丰厚,有些则不然,但最重要的是,它们都让我感到快乐)”可知,父亲的行为影响了作者对写作的态度,作者提及父亲是为了强调父亲对自己的影响。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中““You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with.(“You were paid peanuts!”一些比我年轻、更通晓世事的朋友这样说道。与我不一样,他们能找到发表作品的好地方,也能和优秀的编辑合作)”可知,朋友们认为作者报酬低,“You were paid peanuts!”意思是“你得到的报酬很少”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt!(然而,当一位编辑出人意料地告诉我,他们选择在网上而不是按最初提议的那样在印刷版上发表我的一篇文章,而且报酬更低时,我震惊了……也很受伤!)”可知,让作者感到受伤的是他的文章在网上发表,但报酬却降低了。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.(如今,每当我心生疑虑时,我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏,只有用上一定数量的单词,而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联,才能完成,才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性,从而实现我的写作目的吗?于是,现在我开始接受各种写作任务,有些报酬丰厚,有些则不然,但最重要的是,它们都让我感到快乐。毕竟,只有我们发自内心的热爱才是最重要的。)”以及全文作者受父亲影响,坚持写作,不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱可知,我们能从这篇文章中学到“热爱你所做的,做你所爱的”。故选D。
C
In the digital era, where social media floods with ceaseless sharing, 26-year-old illustrator Lina from Hangzhou stands as a striking example. She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits. Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over intensive emotional bonds in the virtual world.
Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation. Instead of seeking active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of feedback. Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24-hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow virtual ties. This shift comes from their desire to escape overwhelming pressure from empty digital interactions.
While critics dismiss light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation. Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by embracing this approach, young people regain control over their online space — sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others’ expectations. Even social platforms have evolved to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and one-way posting features, acknowledging the widespread acceptance of light socializing.
In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement. This trend shows the younger generation’s maturity in safeguarding their mental well-being, representing a forward-looking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions.
8. What does Lina do on social media?
A. She only posts artworks.
B. She shares life but skips deep chats.
C. She never replies to comments.
D. She focuses on building deep online bonds.
9. According to Min Li, what has social media become for young people now?
A. A center for deep relationships.
B. A platform for personal display.
C. A tool to seek frequent interactions.
D. A space to reduce pressure by virtual ties.
10. What can we infer about “light socializing”?
A. It encourages safe online engagement.
B. It makes young people emotionally cold.
C. It relies mainly on platforms’ silent modes.
D. It abandons social bonds to protect mental health.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Keep Silent Mode On
B. Keep the Digital Distance
C. Social Media: “Self-showcase” Platform
D. Emotional Coldness: Online Life’s Secret
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以26岁的杭州插画师Lina为例,阐述了在数字时代,年轻人在社交媒体上呈现出“轻社交”的趋势,即注重自我表达而非深度情感联系,这种趋势反映了年轻人对心理健康的守护,是一种有前瞻性和深思熟虑的现代社交互动方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits.(她经常在Instagram上发布艺术作品和旅行照片,但很少回复评论或参与私人对话。“我喜欢分享我生活中的片段,但与陌生人建立深厚的联系在情感上让人筋疲力尽,”她承认)”可知,Lina在社交媒体上分享生活,但避免深度聊天。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation(社会学家李敏观察到,社交媒体曾经是发展关系的中心,现在已经变成了年轻一代的“自我展示”平台)”可知,根据李敏的说法,社交媒体现在已经成为年轻人个人展示的平台。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement.(在一个被数字联系紧密束缚的世界里,轻社交在自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡。这不是对社会关系的拒绝,而是对更健康、更自主的在线参与的明智追求)”可知,轻社交不是对社会关系的拒绝,而是对更健康、更自主的在线参与的明智追求。由此推知,“轻社交”鼓励安全的在线参与。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits.(她经常在Instagram上发布艺术作品和旅行照片,但很少回复评论或参与私人对话。“我喜欢分享我生活中的片段,但与陌生人建立深厚的联系在情感上让人筋疲力尽,”她承认)”、第二段“Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation(社会学家李敏观察到,社交媒体曾经是发展关系的中心,现在已经变成了年轻一代的“自我展示”平台)”、以及最后一段“In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement(在一个被数字联系紧密束缚的世界里,轻社交在自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡。这不是对社会关系的拒绝,而是对更健康、更自主的在线参与的明智追求)”可知,本文主要讨论了年轻人在社交媒体上选择“轻社交”的方式,在数字连接紧密的世界中,保持一定的数字距离,以平衡自我表达和隐私保护,所以B项“Keep the Digital Distance(保持数字距离)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。
D
Microscopic plastic pieces are everywhere, and a new study reveals they exist in bottled water at concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than previously estimated. Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic pieces in a typical liter of bottled water, with the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers used stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and machine learning to detect seven common plastics, testing three unnamed bottled water brands. About 10% of these particles (微粒) are microplastics (5 millimeters to 1 micrometer), and 90% are nanoplastics (纳米塑料) (less than 1 micrometer). Microplastics have already been found in human lungs, blood and placentas. “Nanoplastics could be even more dangerous than microplastics because when inside the human body, the smaller it goes, the easier for it to be misidentified as the natural component of the cell,” says Wei Min, a Columbia chemistry professor and co-author on the study.
The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) stated it had “very limited notice” to review the study, arguing the new detection method needs to be fully reviewed by the scientific community and more research needs to be done to develop standardized methods for measuring and quantifying nanoplastics in our environment. It added there is no scientific agreement on the potential health impacts of nano and microplastic particles and media reports unnecessarily scare consumers.
Phoebe Stapleton, another co-author of the study, says researchers already know that nanoplastics are in water. “But if you can’t quantify them or create images of them, it’s hard to believe they really exist. The importance of our team’s research is that it now reveals this clearly — it not only provides computer-generated images, but also lets us measure the nanoplastics. Even more importantly, it offers chemical analysis of those measurements.” she says, adding that the research helps people better understand how much plastic humans usually take into their bodies and what effects it has.
12. How does the author introduce the new findings?
A. By giving examples. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By defining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
13. What could make nanoplastics a greater threat compared with microplastics?
A. Difficulty in detecting it.
B. Failure to create its image.
C. Larger quantity than microplastics.
D. High concentration levels in bottled water.
14. What is IBWA’s attitude towards the study?
A. Objective. B. Approving.
C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
15. What is Phoebe Stapleton’s remark mainly about?
A. Uniqueness of the study.
B. Significance of the study.
C. Potential application of the study.
D. Possible direction for further study.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究发现瓶装水中微塑料和纳米塑料的含量比之前估计的要高得多,介绍了研究的方法、相关各方的态度以及该研究的重要意义。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Microscopic plastic pieces are everywhere, and a new study reveals they exist in bottled water at concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than previously estimated. Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic pieces in a typical liter of bottled water, with the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (微小的塑料碎片无处不在,而一项新研究表明,它们在瓶装水中的存在浓度比此前估计值高出10到100倍。来自哥伦比亚大学和罗格斯大学的研究人员发现,一升普通的瓶装水中大约含有24万块可检测到的塑料颗粒,该研究成果已发表在《美国国家科学院院报》上)”可知,文中提到了10到100倍,还提到了24万块可检测到的塑料颗粒,所以作者通过提供统计数据来介绍新发现。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““Nanoplastics could be even more dangerous than microplastics because when inside the human body, the smaller it goes, the easier for it to be misidentified as the natural component of the cell,” says Wei Min, a Columbia chemistry professor and co-author on the study(该研究的合著者、哥伦比亚大学化学教授魏敏说:“纳米塑料可能比微塑料更危险,因为当它在人体内时,体积越小,就越容易被误认为是细胞的天然成分。”)”可知,纳米塑料在人体内时,体积越小,就越容易被误认为是细胞的天然成分,可推理出纳米塑料更难被检测到,这使得它可能成为更大的威胁。故选A项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) stated it had “very limited notice” to review the study, arguing the new detection method needs to be fully reviewed by the scientific community and more research needs to be done to develop standardized methods for measuring and quantifying nanoplastics in our environment. It added there is no scientific agreement on the potential health impacts of nano and microplastic particles and media reports unnecessarily scare consumers(国际瓶装水协会(IBWA)表示,它“收到通知的时间非常有限”,无法对该研究进行审查,并辩称新的检测方法需要得到科学界的全面审查,还需要进行更多研究,以制定标准化方法来测量和量化我们环境中的纳米塑料。它补充说,对于纳米和微塑料颗粒对健康的潜在影响,科学界尚未达成共识,媒体报道不必要地吓唬消费者)”可知,对于纳米和微塑料颗粒对健康的潜在影响,科学界尚未达成共识,且认为媒体报道不必要地吓唬消费者,可推理出IBWA对该研究持怀疑态度。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Phoebe Stapleton, another co-author of the study, says researchers already know that nanoplastics are in water. “But if you can’t quantify them or create images of them, it’s hard to believe they really exist. The importance of our team’s research is that it now reveals this clearly — it not only provides computer-generated images, but also lets us measure the nanoplastics.

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。
For years, we’ve treated sustainability only as a knowledge problem. If people just understood the climate crisis — the graphs, melting ice caps and emissions charts, they’d change. ____16____.
Take smoking as an example. In the 1980s, everyone was aware that it was harmful to their health but research cites that it was smoking policies and bans that had real impact. Numbers dropped because the world around smokers changed quietly, structurally and persistently.
If guilt isn’t working, design might
A 2022 Pew survey found that majorities in most countries consider climate change a serious threat to their nation’s future. Yet behavioural change, especially in food, transport and energy use, falls far behind. ____17____. Awareness does not equal action and information alone is insufficient. We must stop relying on guilt and start focusing on systemic design that makes sustainable choices easy and automatic.
Why we need a better story
Psychologists have shown that narratives are more persuasive than facts. In one study, people were more likely to act when shown a story about a single identifiable person than overwhelming statistics. Yet, the dominant climate narrative today is not a story. ____18____. And it centers around guilt, sacrifice and shame.
Food is the frontline of climate
Food is key to climate action. ____19____. So we need to design food environments that make climate-smart choices intuitive (出于直觉的), tasty and culturally relevant.
____20____
The most impactful thing we can do isn’t to convince people to care more but to build systems that make better choices easier, cheaper and more joyful. These are systems that reward low-emission lifestyles, push people toward sustainable meals and normalize pride rather than shame in acting for the planet.
A. It’s a warning in fact
B. Systems must change, not people
C. Behaviour is downstream of design
D. This is the contradiction we must face
E. That’s exactly the playbook sustainability needs now
F. But behaviour doesn’t work that way and we’ve seen it before
G. Food systems account for over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了环境问题的解决思路。
【16题详解】
根据上文“For years, we’ve treated sustainability only as a knowledge problem. If people just understood the climate crisis — the graphs, melting ice caps and emissions charts, they’d change.(多年来,我们只将可持续性视为一个知识问题。如果人们理解气候危机——图表、冰盖融化和排放图表,他们就会改变)”和下一段“Take smoking as an example. In the 1980s, everyone was aware that it was harmful to their health but research cites that it was smoking policies and bans that had real impact. Numbers dropped because the world around smokers changed quietly, structurally and persistently.(以吸烟为例。在20世纪80年代,每个人都知道吸烟有害健康,但研究表明,吸烟政策和禁令才是真正的影响。数字下降是因为吸烟者周围的世界在悄悄、结构性和持续性方面发生了变化)”可知,吸烟的例子就是证明行为改变需要更多,空处应该是对前文的转折,选项F“But behaviour doesn’t work that way and we’ve seen it before(但行为不是这样的,我们以前也见过)”直接反驳了前一句的假设,引出下文。故选F。
【17题详解】
前文“A 2022 Pew survey found that majorities in most countries consider climate change a serious threat to their nation’s future. Yet behavioural change, especially in food, transport and energy use, falls far behind.(2022年皮尤的一项调查发现,大多数国家的大多数人认为气候变化对他们国家的未来构成严重威胁。然而,行为改变,特别是在食品、交通和能源使用方面,远远落后)”指出调查显示人们认为气候变化是严重威胁,但行为改变滞后,所以空处应该强调这种不一致或问题。选项D“This is the contradiction we must face(这是我们必须面对的矛盾)”很贴切,因为它指代了意识与行动之间的脱节。故选D。
【18题详解】
前文“Yet, the dominant climate narrative today is not a story.(然而,今天占主导地位的气候叙事并不是一个故事)”指出当前气候叙事不是故事,所以空处应该描述当前叙事的本质,选项A“It’s a warning in fact(它实际上是一个警告)”与空后“And it centers around guilt, sacrifice and shame.(它以内疚、牺牲和羞愧为中心)”照应。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Food is key to climate action.(食物是气候行动的关键)”可知,空处应进一步围绕食物展开,解释为什么食物是关键。选项G“Food systems account for over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions(粮食系统占全球温室气体排放量的三分之一以上)”提供了具体数据,解释为什么食物重要。故选G。
【20题详解】
空处是本段主旨句。结合“The most impactful thing we can do isn’t to convince people to care more but to build systems that make better choices easier, cheaper and more joyful. These are systems that reward low-emission lifestyles, push people toward sustainable meals and normalize pride rather than shame in acting for the planet.(我们能做的最有影响力的事情不是说服人们更加关心,而是建立系统,使更好的选择更容易、更便宜、更令人快乐。这些系统奖励低排放的生活方式,推动人们走向可持续饮食,并使为地球行动自豪感而不是羞耻变得正常化)”可知,本段主要讲述的是建立一个更好的“系统”。选项B“Systems must change, not people(系统必须改变,而不是人)”符合题意。故选B。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah has always had a deep passion for painting, and her greatest dream is to host her own art exhibition someday. Her art teacher told her about an upcoming local youth arts show — and she’d already started preparing for it. However, her parents, both practicing doctors, urged her hard to go into medicine, arguing it would give her a stable, secure future.
One evening at dinner, her father said firmly, “It’s time you start preparing for the medical school entrance exams. You’re smart and hard-working — you’ll surely thrive in this field.” Sarah set down her fork, disappointment clouding her eyes. “But I don’t want to be a doctor,” she insisted. “Painting is what I’m truly passionate about.” Her mother sighed softly, “Art is a wonderful hobby, but it doesn’t pay the bills. You need to be practical about your future.” Growing frustrated, Sarah stood up, stormed to her bedroom and locked the door. Staring at her half-finished painting, tears welled up in her eyes — trapped between her love for art and her parents’ expectations.
That night, Sarah lay awake, tossing and turning. She hated the thought of letting down her supportive parents, yet she couldn’t bear the idea of giving up her dream. The next day at school, her best friend Lily noticed her gloom and asked what was wrong. After Sarah poured out her troubles, Lily advised, “Follow your heart — but prove to your parents how serious you are about painting.”
Taking Lily’s advice, Sarah spent the weekend crafting a series of paintings that laid bare her emotions. She also looked up artists who’d built successful careers out of their art. On Monday evening, she asked her parents into her room, showed them her portfolio (作品集) and notes, and said, “I know you’re worried, but I believe I can make it as an artist — selling online, teaching, or doing custom work. Please give me a chance.” Her parents listened quietly, their faces softening as they looked over her work.
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。
After Sarah finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room.

A week later, Sarah received a surprising call from her art teacher.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
After Sarah finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room. Her father finally cleared his throat. “We see your dedication, Sarah,” he said, his voice gentle. “Your paintings are expressive, and your research shows thoughtfulness.” Her mother added, “We just want you to have financial security. But perhaps… you could pursue art seriously while keeping science as a backup option?” Sarah’s heart raced as they agreed to let her enter the youth arts show. If she could prove her talent there, they would reconsider supporting her art path. Relieved, Sarah hugged them, tears of hope replacing her earlier despair.
A week later, Sarah received a surprising call from her art teacher. “Your entry won second prize!” Ms. Evans exclaimed. “The judges praised its emotional depth, and a local gallery owner wants to display it next month!” Sarah gasped, unable to believe her ears. She immediately shared the news with her parents. Seeing her radiant joy and tangible achievement, their doubts melted. Her father smiled warmly, “We’re proud of you, sweetheart. Let’s discuss how to support your dream properly.” That night, Sarah added finishing touches to her winning piece — a vibrant canvas titled “Compromise,” symbolizing her hard-won balance between passion and practicality.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了萨拉热爱绘画,梦想办艺术展,还为当地青少年艺术展做准备,但其医生父母却劝她学医学以保未来稳定,双方产生矛盾。在好友建议下,萨拉向父母展示画作与艺术家调研成果,父母同意她参展。萨拉获二等奖且作品将被展出,父母最终认可并支持她的艺术梦想。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“萨拉说完之后,房间里顿时一片寂静。”可知,第一段可描写父母同意萨拉参展,支持她的艺术之路。
②由第二段首句内容“一周后,萨拉接到了她的美术老师打来的令人惊讶的电话。”可知,第二段可描写萨拉获二等奖且作品将被展出,父母最终认可并支持她的艺术梦想。
2.续写线索:父母同意参展——萨拉高兴——拥抱父母——充满希望——接到电话——作品获奖——父母认可

This month’s smartest tech
I’VE GOT NO STRINGS
Eufy says its new model, E15 (out in June), is fully “self-driving” — no wires or pegs (钉子) needed, which could make it a game changer. Aimed at smaller lawns (800 m2 rather than 1,200 m2), the E15 is smart enough to detect trees, borders and even pets while cutting. It’ll even detect when it rains or gets dark and head back to base.

You just need to pay £429 if you bundle (捆绑购买) them (a set). Buy the Switch 2 alone now and you’ll get a 10% discount. If you buy 2 sets or more, you can enjoy a 20% discount. Any Nintendo console isn’t really about the tech specs, it’s about how it makes you feel when you knock that smug Donkey Kong off his kart on the last corner. We’ll see you in line.

JUST LOOK AT IT!
While we wouldn’t recommend dropping $10000 on a record player, we can’t ignore how good this turntable looks. The idea here is that sound and light unite. As the player’s needle dances across the surface of the record, the light shines in harmony. Plus, the turntable itself is held up in the air via magnetic suspension, which, as well as looking unbelievably cool, means it’s isolated from vibrations (震动) to provide maximum musical faithfulness.

When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance (遗产) from him is a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles.
In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle.
While my father used words for love I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently.
“You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me.
However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.

In the digital era, where social media floods with ceaseless sharing, 26-year-old illustrator Lina from Hangzhou stands as a striking example. She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits. Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over intensive emotional bonds in the virtual world.
Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation. Instead of seeking active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of feedback. Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24-hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow virtual ties. This shift comes from their desire to escape overwhelming pressure from empty digital interactions.
While critics dismiss light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation. Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by embracing this approach, young people regain control over their online space — sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others’ expectations. Even social platforms have evolved to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and one-way posting features, acknowledging the widespread acceptance of light socializing.
In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement. This trend shows the younger generation’s maturity in safeguarding their mental well-being, representing a forward-looking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions.
8. What does Lina do on social media?
A. She only posts artworks.
B. She shares life but skips deep chats.
C. She never replies to comments.
D. She focuses on building deep online bonds.
9. According to Min Li, what has social media become for young people now?
A. A center for deep relationships.
B. A platform for personal display.
C. A tool to seek frequent interactions.
D. A space to reduce pressure by virtual ties.
10. What can we infer about “light socializing”?
A. It encourages safe online engagement.
B. It makes young people emotionally cold.
C. It relies mainly on platforms’ silent modes.
D. It abandons social bonds to protect mental health.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Keep Silent Mode On
B. Keep the Digital Distance
C. Social Media: “Self-showcase” Platform
D. Emotional Coldness: Online Life’s Secret
D
Microscopic plastic pieces are everywhere, and a new study reveals they exist in bottled water at concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than previously estimated. Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic pieces in a typical liter of bottled water, with the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers used stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and machine learning to detect seven common plastics, testing three unnamed bottled water brands. About 10% of these particles (微粒) are microplastics (5 millimeters to 1 micrometer), and 90% are nanoplastics (纳米塑料) (less than 1 micrometer). Microplastics have already been found in human lungs, blood and placentas. “Nanoplastics could be even more dangerous than microplastics because when inside the human body, the smaller it goes, the easier for it to be misidentified as the natural component of the cell,” says Wei Min, a Columbia chemistry professor and co-author on the study.
The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) stated it had “very limited notice” to review the study, arguing the new detection method needs to be fully reviewed by the scientific community and more research needs to be done to develop standardized methods for measuring and quantifying nanoplastics in our environment. It added there is no scientific agreement on the potential health impacts of nano and microplastic particles and media reports unnecessarily scare consumers.
Phoebe Stapleton, another co-author of the study, says researchers already know that nanoplastics are in water. “But if you can’t quantify them or create images of them, it’s hard to believe they really exist. The importance of our team’s research is that it now reveals this clearly — it not only provides computer-generated images, but also lets us measure the nanoplastics. Even more importantly, it offers chemical analysis of those measurements.” she says, adding that the research helps people better understand how much plastic humans usually take into their bodies and what effects it has.
12. How does the author introduce the new findings?
A. By giving examples. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By defining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
13. What could make nanoplastics a greater threat compared with microplastics?
A. Difficulty in detecting it.
B. Failure to create its image.
C. Larger quantity than microplastics.
D. High concentration levels in bottled water.
14. What is IBWA’s attitude towards the study?
A. Objective. B. Approving.
C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
15. What is Phoebe Stapleton’s remark mainly about?
A. Uniqueness of the study.
B. Significance of the study.
C. Potential application of the study.
D. Possible direction for further study.

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。
For years, we’ve treated sustainability only as a knowledge problem. If people just understood the climate crisis — the graphs, melting ice caps and emissions charts, they’d change. ____16____.
Take smoking as an example. In the 1980s, everyone was aware that it was harmful to their health but research cites that it was smoking policies and bans that had real impact. Numbers dropped because the world around smokers changed quietly, structurally and persistently.
If guilt isn’t working, design might
A 2022 Pew survey found that majorities in most countries consider climate change a serious threat to their nation’s future. Yet behavioural change, especially in food, transport and energy use, falls far behind. ____17____. Awareness does not equal action and information alone is insufficient. We must stop relying on guilt and start focusing on systemic design that makes sustainable choices easy and automatic.
Why we need a better story
Psychologists have shown that narratives are more persuasive than facts. In one study, people were more likely to act when shown a story about a single identifiable person than overwhelming statistics. Yet, the dominant climate narrative today is not a story. ____18____. And it centers around guilt, sacrifice and shame.
Food is the frontline of climate
Food is key to climate action. ____19____. So we need to design food environments that make climate-smart choices intuitive (出于直觉的), tasty and culturally relevant.
____20____
The most impactful thing we can do isn’t to convince people to care more but to build systems that make better choices easier, cheaper and more joyful. These are systems that reward low-emission lifestyles, push people toward sustainable meals and normalize pride rather than shame in acting for the planet.
A. It’s a warning in fact
B. Systems must change, not people
C. Behaviour is downstream of design
D. This is the contradiction we must face
E. That’s exactly the playbook sustainability needs now
F. But behaviour doesn’t work that way and we’ve seen it before
G. Food systems account for over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah has always had a deep passion for painting, and her greatest dream is to host her own art exhibition someday. Her art teacher told her about an upcoming local youth arts show — and she’d already started preparing for it. However, her parents, both practicing doctors, urged her hard to go into medicine, arguing it would give her a stable, secure future.
One evening at dinner, her father said firmly, “It’s time you start preparing for the medical school entrance exams. You’re smart and hard-working — you’ll surely thrive in this field.” Sarah set down her fork, disappointment clouding her eyes. “But I don’t want to be a doctor,” she insisted. “Painting is what I’m truly passionate about.” Her mother sighed softly, “Art is a wonderful hobby, but it doesn’t pay the bills. You need to be practical about your future.” Growing frustrated, Sarah stood up, stormed to her bedroom and locked the door. Staring at her half-finished painting, tears welled up in her eyes — trapped between her love for art and her parents’ expectations.
That night, Sarah lay awake, tossing and turning. She hated the thought of letting down her supportive parents, yet she couldn’t bear the idea of giving up her dream. The next day at school, her best friend Lily noticed her gloom and asked what was wrong. After Sarah poured out her troubles, Lily advised, “Follow your heart — but prove to your parents how serious you are about painting.”
Taking Lily’s advice, Sarah spent the weekend crafting a series of paintings that laid bare her emotions. She also looked up artists who’d built successful careers out of their art. On Monday evening, she asked her parents into her room, showed them her portfolio (作品集) and notes, and said, “I know you’re worried, but I believe I can make it as an artist — selling online, teaching, or doing custom work. Please give me a chance.” Her parents listened quietly, their faces softening as they looked over her work.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
After Sarah finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, Sarah received a surprising call from her art teacher.
