As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport. The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green. PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air. CARS — Batteries Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge. TRAINS — Electricity Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. TRUCKS — Hydrogen fuel cells Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive. SHIPS — Liquid ammonia Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign. This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke. 1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018? A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%. 2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily? A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships. 3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition? A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables. C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2018年不同交通方式的温室气体排放占比，以及飞机、汽车等各类交通工具的未来绿色燃料路径。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.(以下是2018年不同交通方式的排放细目)”和下面第一张图表ROAD VEHICLES部分中“ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1% (公路（客运）45.1%)”以及“ROAD (GOODS) 29.4% (公路（货运）29.4%)”可知，公路车辆在交通排放中总占比为45.1%+29.4%=74.5%，即公路车辆在2018年全球交通排放中占比74.5%。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二张图表“TRAINS — Electricity”部分中“Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.(部分火车已通过轨道或线缆实现电气化；其他火车亦可采用相当简易的方式改为电力驱动)”可知, 火车相较其他交通方式更易实现绿色化。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.(Wipke说：“我们需要加速绿色能源的开发，而所有能源都将得到充分利用。”)”可知, Wipke建议加大对绿色能源的投入。故选B项。 B Helms Ategeka wants to be a pop star. But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly excited. So last fall, the Oakland, California, teenager took a different approach. He started applying to colleges. More than 150 of them. Before long, he got an acceptance letter. Then another. And another. The trickle (细流) became a flood until there were 122 of them — along with some $5. 3 million in scholarship offers. His father says he’s proud of Helms’ 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. But as he watched the mountain of acceptance letters in his son’s room get bigger with every mail delivery, Chris Ategeka’s hope disappeared. “He’s so confident that music is what he wants to do. It would be wrong for me to try to guide him otherwise ... That’s why he applied to many colleges to prove a point,” Chris says. “I told him, ‘You want to be a musician? It takes a lot of hard work.’ And his reaction was, ‘I’ll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work.’” But how does an 18-year-old begin narrowing down such a massive list of options? “I live for music. I spend most of my time either listening to music, making music or out there performing,” Helms says. “I feel the most alive and fulfilled when I’m doing something related to music.” So when he started his college application journey, he had one key requirement: the school needed to have a strong music program. Helms spent the past few months studying the websites and social media accounts of schools that accepted him. He’s watched videos of their music programs on YouTube and TikTok to get a sense of where he fits in. After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. 4. What degree does Helms Ategeka plan to pursue after graduating from high school? A. Medicine. B. Computer Science. C. Music. D. Literature. 5. What did Chris focus on when choosing a career for his son? A. Secure jobs. B. Social need. C. Personal interest. D. Family traditions. 6. What kind of person is Helms? A. Shy and quiet. B. Generous and kind. C. Ambitious and strict. D. Confident and determined. 7. What is Helms expected to do at last? A. Choose a college far from home. B. Obtain the highest scholarship. C. Enter his ideal university. D. Follow his father’s advice. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Helms Ategeka为追求音乐学位申请150多所大学，用122封录取信说服父亲的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly excited. (但当他告诉父亲，他计划下个月高中毕业后攻读音乐学位时，父亲并不太兴奋。)”可知，Helms打算攻读音乐学位。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His father says he’s proud of Helms’ 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. (他的父亲说，他为Helms 3.94的平均绩点感到骄傲，并希望儿子能选择一份经济稳定的职业，比如医学或计算机技术。)”可知，Chris为儿子选职业时关注“稳定的工作”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He’s so confident that music is what he wants to do .(他非常自信音乐是他想做的事。)”和“I’ll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work. (我会用我的决心来做这件事，向你展示我能有多努力。)”以及尾段中的“After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. (经过数月的研究，Helms做出了选择：他将留在附近，在加州大学伯克利分校学习音乐。伯克利的一位发言人证实他已被录取。)”可知，Helms自信且坚定。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. (经过数月的研究，Helms做出了选择：他将留在附近，在加州大学伯克利分校学习音乐。伯克利的一位发言人证实他已被录取。)”可知，Helms最终进入了理想的大学。故选C项。 C When my son was a little kid, he liked to run in our driveway until he fell. He would then turn to me to see if he was hurt. If my face showed worry, he would cry. If I maintained peace, he would brush himself off and get back to running. Learning that I could so powerfully influence his mental state was a revelation. One night while doing homework, my son told me about a classmate who had been unkind to him. My first instinct (本能) was to rush to fix it — email the parents, call the school, and demand action. But instead of reacting, I paused. “That sounds hard. What did you do?” “Dad, I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I’m going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” “That’s a great solution,” I said, and he went back to his homework. These otherwise ordinary parenting moments made me realize a truth: Sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents over-functioning — depriving (剥夺) their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and tiring themselves in the process. We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering, and it can be painful to watch them struggle. A parent’s first instinct is often to remove barriers from their child’s path. This urge has led to pop-culture mythology (神话) around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any barrier in their child’s way. A young person who grows accustomed to having a parent intervene on his behalf begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own, feeding both anxiety and dependence. I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent. A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey. Yes, parenting can be stressful. But when we trust our children to explore the world — with us as steady and supportive guides — we lighten our own load and help them grow healthily. 8. How did the author’s son react when he fell? A. He would always cry for his father. B. He would get up with his father’s help. C. He would rise quickly and continue running. D. It depended on his father’s facial expression. 9. What did the author’s son decide to do when a classmate was unkind to him? A. Face the classmate bravely. B. Tell the classmate’s parents. C. Avoid the classmate and play soccer. D. Ignore the issue and do his homework. 10. Why does the author mention his work experience in schools? A. To define a concept. B. To support his argument. C To introduce a new topic. D. To provide the background. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Trusting Children Is of Importance B. Putting Pressure on Kids Is Necessary C. Lighthouse Parents Benefit Kids’ Growth D. Over-Functioning Parents Do Harm to Kids 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要论述了“直升机父母”和“铲雪机父母”现象，提倡成为“灯塔父母”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If my face showed worry, he would cry. If I maintained peace, he would brush himself off and get back to running. (要是我脸上露出担忧的神情，他就会哭起来。要是我能保持镇定，他就会拍拍身上的灰，接着跑。)”可知，作者的儿子摔倒时的反应取决于他父亲的面部表情。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Dad, I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I’m going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” (“爸爸，我决定暂时不跟他一起玩了，”儿子回答道，“我打算午饭时间去踢踢足球。”)”可知，儿子决定避开那个同学，去踢足球。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. (有时候，父母能做的最好的事情就是什么都不做。)”和第七段“I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents over-functioning — depriving (剥夺) their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and tiring themselves in the process. (过去30年，我一直在学校工作，目睹了成千上万的家长与教育工作者以及他们自己的孩子互动。很多时候，我看到家长们过度干预——剥夺了孩子从奋斗中获得的自信，自己也在这个过程中疲惫不堪。)”可知，作者提到自己在学校工作三十年的经历是为了说明家长不要对孩子的成长进行过多的干预，以此支撑他的论点。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段“This urge has led to pop-culture mythology (神话) around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any barrier in their child’s way. (这种冲动催生了流行文化中关于过度干预式育儿方式的种种“神话”，比如“直升机父母”，他们像直升机一样，在孩子遇到危机时迅速飞来救援；还有“扫雪机父母”，他们会扫除孩子前进道路上的一切障碍。)”和最后一段“I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent. A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey. (我想为“灯塔式父母”正名。“灯塔式父母”就像一座稳定可靠的灯塔，为孩子提供安全和清晰的方向指引，但不会控制孩子人生旅程的每一个细节。)”可知，文章论述了“直升机父母”和“铲雪机父母”现象，提倡成为“灯塔父母”，对比说明了“灯塔父母”对孩子的成长是有益的，因此最好的题目是C选项“Lighthouse Parents Benefit Kids’ Growth (灯塔父母让孩子成长)”。故选C。 D Three atmospheric scientists at Colorado State University have found evidence suggesting that western boundary currents have a bigger impact on local climate variability than have been previously thought. In their paper published in the journal Nature, James Larson, David Thompson and James Hurrell describe how they used satellite data and numerical modeling to better understand the impact of western boundary currents on local climate variability and what they learned by doing so. Boundary currents are, as their names suggest, ocean currents that are impacted by coastlines associated with land masses. They fall under two main categories, eastern and western. Eastern boundary currents are those that have an eastern boundary, which means they run against the western coast of a land mass. Western boundary currents are the converse: In this new study, the researchers noted that prior research focusing on the impact of boundary currents has typically focused on mean climate impacts — western boundary currents, for example, are known to move huge amounts of warm water from the tropics (热带) to the mid-latitudes. Because of that, they have a major impact on wind, rain, and storms, in general. For this study, the researchers wanted to learn more about the role western boundary currents play in local weather variability. They analyzed high-resolution satellite images and used numerical models to find associations between factors such as sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and vertical motion in the atmosphere over western boundary currents in both hemispheres (半球). More specifically, they looked for associations between SSTs and circulation (环流) of air in the atmosphere on a month-by-month basis at a localized level. The researchers found what they describe as variability in SSTs and their influence on local atmospheric circulation, which has an impact on rainfall amounts and the vertical rise and fall of air in the atmosphere. The team sums up their findings by suggesting their work has shown that there is a mechanism that connects ocean processes to local climate variability. They suggest this finding could have an impact on weather forecasting models. 12. What was the main focus of the study? A. Predicting future changes in ocean ecosystems. B. Developing new methods for ocean current mapping. C. How the researchers employ data from satellites scientifically. D. How western boundary currents influence local weather change. 13. What does the underlined word “converse” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Strange. D. Flexible. 14. What is the difference of the study compared to the prior one? A. It focused on more specific points. B. It paid more attention to the locals. C. It looked at rainfall trend more carefully. D. It took more time to achieve a high level. 15. What does the author intend to tell us about the study in the last paragraph? A. Its principle. B. Its challenges. C. Its application. D. Its process. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了科罗拉多州立大学的三位大气科学家通过卫星数据和数值模拟，研究西边界流对当地气候变异性的影响，并发现西边界流与当地气候变异性的联系机制，可能对天气预报模型产生影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“For this study, the researchers wanted to learn more about the role western boundary currents play in local weather variability.(在这项研究中，研究人员希望更多地了解西边界流在当地天气变化中所起的作用。)”可知，这项研究的主要焦点是西边界流如何影响当地天气变化。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Eastern boundary currents are those that have an eastern boundary, which means they run against the western coast of a land mass.(东边界流是指有东边界洋流，也就是说它们沿着陆地的西海岸流动。)”可知，东边界流是指有东边界的洋流，沿着陆地的西海岸流动，西边界流与东边界流相反，是指有西边界的洋流，沿着陆地的东海岸流动；“Western boundary currents are the converse:(西部边界流是converse)”中的“converse”的意思是“相反的”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In this new study, the researchers noted that prior research focusing on the impact of boundary currents has typically focused on mean climate impacts.(在这项新的研究中，研究人员指出，之前的研究主要集中在边界流对平均气候的影响上。)”和第五段“For this study, the researchers wanted to learn more about the role western boundary currents play in local weather variability. They analyzed high-resolution satellite images and used numerical models to find associations between factors such as sea surface temperatures(SSTs) and vertical motion in the atmosphere over western boundary currents in both hemispheres. More specifically, they looked for associations between SSTs and circulation of air in the atmosphere on a month-by-month basis at a localized level.(在这项研究中，研究人员希望更多地了解西边界流在当地天气变化中所起的作用。他们分析了高分辨率卫星图像，并使用数值模型来寻找诸如海面温度（SST）和两个半球西边界流上方大气中的垂直运动等因素之间的联系。更具体地说，他们在局部水平上按月寻找海面温度与大气中空气环流之间的联系。)”可知，与之前的研究相比，这项研究更关注具体的点。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The team sums up their findings by suggesting their work has shown that there is a mechanism that connects ocean processes to local climate variability. They suggest this finding could have an impact on weather forecasting models.(研究小组总结了他们的发现，认为他们的研究表明存在一种将海洋过程与当地气候变异性联系起来的机制。他们认为这一发现可能会影响天气预报模型。)”可知，作者在最后一段想告诉我们关于这项研究的应用。故选C。 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。 Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, slay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally. ____16____ Now let’s look at some practical science-backed strategies to become more self-disciplined in life. Choose a goal. Begin by choosing just one goal that you want to focus on to develop your self-discipline. For instance, perhaps you want to start exercising every evening. You could even practice self-discipline on very small goals such as concentrating on a book for an hour without checking your messages, or avoiding unhealthy food for one day. ____17____ Find your motivation. ____18____ Try to express these reasons in a positive way. Instead of saying “I want to get this task off my to-do list”, say “I want to do this task so that I can meet my objectives and feel satisfied with myself!” When you list the positive reasons why you want to achieve something, you’ll find it much easier to get the job done. Identify barriers. Now you need to identify the barriers that you’ll likely face when working towards your goal. Imagine that your goal is to read one book a week to enhance your reading skills. ____19____ For example, when you find a book you like, it’s hard to find time each day to read. Once you’ve identified barriers, come up with a strategy to overcome each one. ____20____ As you work on your self-discipline, pay attention to how you’re feeling. You might feel free, happy, proud, and energized. Also, think about keeping a journal to write down your self-discipline goal and to track your progress. This reinforces the positive changes that you’re implementing (实施) in your life, and gives you a record that you can look back on to see the progress that you’ve made. A. Monitor your progress. B. Pay attention to your feelings. C. Understand what helps improve self-discipline. D. You may face a number of difficulties in reaching this goal. E. It is a basic life skill that determines success and happiness. F. Once you’ve chosen a goal, list the reasons why you want to achieve it. G. Remember, starting small is a good way to start developing your self-discipline. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自律的重要性，并给出了一些基于科学研究的策略，如选择目标、找到动力、识别障碍和监控进展，以帮助人们在生活中变得更加自律。 【16题详解】 上文“Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, stay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally.(自律是一种无论你身体或情感上感觉如何，都能推动自己前进、保持动力并采取行动的能力)”说明了自律的定义。空处和前文为顺接关系，应进一步阐述自律的重要性。所以E项“它是一项决定成功和幸福的基本生活技能。”符合语境，“It”指代前文中的“Self-discipline”，进一步强调其意义，与前文构成顺接关系。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“You could even practice self-discipline on very small goals such as concentrating on a book for an hour without checking your messages, or avoiding unhealthy food for one day.(你甚至可以在非常小的目标上练习自律，比如集中精力看一个小时的书而不查看消息，或者一天不吃不健康的食物)”提到了从小的目标开始练习自律。空处总结了从小目标入手的策略，与前文例子形成呼应。所以G项“记住，从小事做起是开始培养自律的好方法。”符合语境，进一步强调了从小目标开始的重要性。且“starting small”和前文中的“on very small goals”相呼应。故选G。 【18题详解】 主题句“Find your motivation.(找到你的动力)”以及下文“Try to express these reasons in a positive way.(试着以积极的方式表达这些原因)”说明要找自律的原因并用积极的方式表达他们。空处承接主旨句，并引出下文，应具体说明找到动力后的做法。所以F项“一旦你选择了一个目标，列出你想实现它的原因。”符合语境，承接上文，“list the reasons”和下文中的“express these reasons”相呼应。故选F。 【19题详解】 上文“Imagine that your goal is to read one book a week to enhance your reading skills.(假设你的目标是每周读一本书以提高阅读能力)”提出了一个具体的目标。空处和前文为顺接关系，应说明在实现这个目标过程中可能遇到的问题。所以D项“在实现这个目标的过程中，你可能会面临许多困难。”符合语境，既呼应 “识别障碍” 的主题，又引出后文具体的困难例子，“difficulties”与“barriers”为同义替换。故选D。 【20题详解】 下文“As you work on your self - discipline, pay attention to how you’re feeling. You might feel free, happy, proud, and energized. Also, think about keeping a journal to write down your self - discipline goal and to track your progress.(当你在自律方面努力时，注意你的感受。你可能会感到自由、快乐、自豪和充满活力。此外，考虑写日记来记录你的自律目标并跟踪你的进展)”说明在自律过程中要关注自己的感受并记录进展。所以A项“监控你的进展。”符合语境，概括了本段关于监控自律进展的内容，适合作本段的主旨句。故填A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Blake Kincheloe started an extraordinary restoration project of a 1954 International Harvester pickup truck.

We spent a lot of time in a state of debate. As much as I wanted to respect her wishes, I always had my own plans in my head. Her wishes and my plans were rarely the same. She would tell me to tie my shoelaces; I would argue that the knots made it harder to get my shoes off. She would demand that I make my bed; I would insist that it was not necessary. She would ask me to cut the grass in the backyard and I’d reply with a comprehensive list of all the reasons that the grass looked better tall and uncut. Round and round we’d go in a funny dance. She’d throw out a rule, and I’d find a loophole (漏洞) and jump through it. When all the loopholes were closed, I would switch strategies. Instead of arguing, I would try to find the closest open door and run. But it seemed that my mom was always waiting at the exit. I am convinced that weekends are not for work. They are for leisure and adventure. That’s why there’s no school on weekends. Nevertheless, my mom thinks the other way. Last Saturday morning, when I was dreaming beneath my warm blanket, my bedroom door flew open and came the voice of my mother, “Wake up, Walter. It is time to start the day.” Pretending not to hear my mom, I tried to close my eyes even tighter. My mom didn’t wait for my response. She drew open the curtain and told me that we were going to have a thorough clean for our house and that I was in charge of tidying my bedroom and the study. “I am scheduled to go skating with my friends.” I was somewhat annoyed and made an excuse. 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。 “Before you can go outside, you need to finish inside,” my mom said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time I finished, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Before you can go outside, you need to finish inside,” my mom said. Knowing that I couldn’t escape my mom’s rules, I reluctantly agreed to help and left my bed with a heavy sigh. As I began to tidy up, I was impatient and careless. But as my mom kept an eye on my process now and then, I had to be hard on my work. The pile of clothes that had taken up residence on my floor found their way back into the drawers, and the scattered books and papers began to find their place on the shelves. By the time I finished, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. The room, once in a mess, started to look more inviting. The study, once chaotic, became a peaceful shelter. I realized that maybe there was some value to my mother’s insistence on order. It wasn’t just about following rules. It was about creating a space that fostered productivity and peace. It was not just about cleaning. It was about growing up. It was about understanding that sometimes, the things we resist can turn out to be the very things that teach us the most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者总是和母亲因为意见不同发生矛盾，这天母亲让作者收拾自己的房间，一开始作者不情愿，但是在妈妈的注视下不得不这么做。收拾好房间后，作者却感到有成就感，房间也变得有吸引力了，作者开始意识到母亲对秩序的坚持是有价值的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘在你出去之前，你得先把里面事做完，’我妈妈说”可知，第一段可描写作者不情愿收拾房间的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我完成的时候，我有一种奇怪的成就感”可知，第二段可描写收拾完房间作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：母亲要求收拾房间——不情愿收拾——收拾完成——获得成就感——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①整理：tidy up/clean up ②促进：foster/stimulate ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不情愿：reluctantly/unwillingly ②吸引人：inviting/appealing 【点睛】[高分句型1] Knowing that I couldn’t escape my mom’s rules, I reluctantly agreed to help and left my bed with a heavy sigh.

As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport. The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green. PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air. CARS — Batteries Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge. TRAINS — Electricity Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. TRUCKS — Hydrogen fuel cells Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive. SHIPS — Liquid ammonia Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign. This energy transition (变革) is global and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke. 1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018? A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%. 2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily? A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships. 3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition? A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables. C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable. B Helms Ategeka wants to be a pop star. But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly excited. So last fall, the Oakland, California, teenager took a different approach. He started applying to colleges. More than 150 of them. Before long, he got an acceptance letter. Then another. And another. The trickle (细流) became a flood until there were 122 of them — along with some $5. 3 million in scholarship offers. His father says he’s proud of Helms’ 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. But as he watched the mountain of acceptance letters in his son’s room get bigger with every mail delivery, Chris Ategeka’s hope disappeared. “He’s so confident that music is what he wants to do. It would be wrong for me to try to guide him otherwise ... That’s why he applied to many colleges to prove a point,” Chris says. “I told him, ‘You want to be a musician? It takes a lot of hard work.’ And his reaction was, ‘I’ll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work.’” But how does an 18-year-old begin narrowing down such a massive list of options? “I live for music. I spend most of my time either listening to music, making music or out there performing,” Helms says. “I feel the most alive and fulfilled when I’m doing something related to music.” So when he started his college application journey, he had one key requirement: the school needed to have a strong music program. Helms spent the past few months studying the websites and social media accounts of schools that accepted him. He’s watched videos of their music programs on YouTube and TikTok to get a sense of where he fits in. After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. 4. What degree does Helms Ategeka plan to pursue after graduating from high school? A. Medicine. B. Computer Science. C. Music. D. Literature. 5. What did Chris focus on when choosing a career for his son? A. Secure jobs. B. Social need. C. Personal interest. D. Family traditions. 6. What kind of person is Helms? A. Shy and quiet. B. Generous and kind. C. Ambitious and strict. D. Confident and determined. 7. What is Helms expected to do at last? A. Choose a college far from home. B. Obtain the highest scholarship. C. Enter his ideal university. D. Follow his father’s advice. C When my son was a little kid, he liked to run in our driveway until he fell. He would then turn to me to see if he was hurt. If my face showed worry, he would cry. If I maintained peace, he would brush himself off and get back to running. Learning that I could so powerfully influence his mental state was a revelation. One night while doing homework, my son told me about a classmate who had been unkind to him. My first instinct (本能) was to rush to fix it — email the parents, call the school, and demand action. But instead of reacting, I paused. “That sounds hard. What did you do?” “Dad, I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I’m going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” “That’s a great solution” I said, and he went back to his homework. These otherwise ordinary parenting moments made me realize a truth: Sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents over-functioning — depriving (剥夺) their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and tiring themselves in the process. We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering, and it can be painful to watch them struggle. A parent’s first instinct is often to remove barriers from their child’s path. This urge has led to pop-culture mythology (神话) around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any barrier in their child’s way. A young person who grows accustomed to having a parent intervene on his behalf begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own, feeding both anxiety and dependence. I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent. A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey. Yes, parenting can be stressful. But when we trust our children to explore the world — with us as steady and supportive guides — we lighten our own load and help them grow healthily. 8. How did the author’s son react when he fell? A. He would always cry for his father. B. He would get up with his father’s help. C. He would rise quickly and continue running. D. It depended on his father’s facial expression. 9. What did the author’s son decide to do when a classmate was unkind to him? A. Face the classmate bravely. B. Tell the classmate’s parents. C. Avoid the classmate and play soccer. D. Ignore the issue and do his homework. 10. Why does the author mention his work experience in schools? A. To define a concept. B. To support his argument. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To provide the background. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Trusting Children Is of Importance B. Putting Pressure on Kids Is Necessary C. Lighthouse Parents Benefit Kids’ Growth D. Over-Functioning Parents Do Harm to Kids D Three atmospheric scientists at Colorado State University have found evidence suggesting that western boundary currents have a bigger impact on local climate variability than have been previously thought. In their paper published in the journal Nature James Larson, David Thompson and James Hurrell describe how they used satellite data and numerical modeling to better understand the impact of western boundary currents on local climate variability and what they learned by doing so. Boundary currents are, as their names suggest, ocean currents that are impacted by coastlines associated with land masses. They fall under two main categories, eastern and western. Eastern boundary currents are those that have an eastern boundary, which means they run against the western coast of a land mass. Western boundary currents are the converse: In this new study, the researchers noted that prior research focusing on the impact of boundary currents has typically focused on mean climate impacts — western boundary currents, for example, are known to move huge amounts of warm water from the tropics (热带) to the mid-latitudes. Because of that, they have a major impact on wind, rain, and storms, in general. For this study, the researchers wanted to learn more about the role western boundary currents play in local weather variability. They analyzed high-resolution satellite images and used numerical models to find associations between factors such as sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and vertical motion in the atmosphere over western boundary currents in both hemispheres (半球). More specifically, they looked for associations between SSTs and circulation (环流) of air in the atmosphere on a month-by-month basis at a localized level. The researchers found what they describe as variability in SSTs and their influence on local atmospheric circulation, which has an impact on rainfall amounts and the vertical rise and fall of air in the atmosphere. The team sums up their findings by suggesting their work has shown that there is a mechanism that connects ocean processes to local climate variability. They suggest this finding could have an impact on weather forecasting models. 12. What was the main focus of the study? A. Predicting future changes in ocean ecosystems. B. Developing new methods for ocean current mapping. C. How the researchers employ data from satellites scientifically. D. How western boundary currents influence local weather change. 13. What does the underlined word “converse” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Strange. D. Flexible. 14. What is the difference of the study compared to the prior one? A. It focused on more specific points. B. It paid more attention to the locals. C. It looked at rainfall trend more carefully. D. It took more time to achieve a high level. 15. What does the author intend to tell us about the study in the last paragraph? A. Its principle. B. Its challenges. C. Its application. D. Its process. 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。 Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, slay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally. ____16____ Now let’s look at some practical science-backed strategies to become more self-disciplined in life. Choose a goal. Begin by choosing just one goal that you want to focus on to develop your self-discipline. For instance, perhaps you want to start exercising every evening. You could even practice self-discipline on very small goals such as concentrating on a book for an hour without checking your messages, or avoiding unhealthy food for one day. ____17____ Find your motivation. ____18____ Try to express these reasons in a positive way. Instead of saying “I want to get this task off my to-do list”, say “I want to do this task so that I can meet my objectives and feel satisfied with myself!” When you list the positive reasons why you want to achieve something, you’ll find it much easier to get the job done. Identify barriers. Now you need to identify the barriers that you’ll likely face when working towards your goal. Imagine that your goal is to read one book a week to enhance your reading skills. ____19____ For example, when you find a book you like, it’s hard to find time each day to read. Once you’ve identified barriers, come up with a strategy to overcome each one. ____20____ As you work on your self-discipline, pay attention to how you’re feeling. You might feel free, happy, proud, and energized. Also, think about keeping a journal to write down your self-discipline goal and to track your progress. This reinforces the positive changes that you’re implementing (实施) in your life, and gives you a record that you can look back on to see the progress that you’ve made. A. Monitor your progress. B. Pay attention to your feelings. C. Understand what helps improve self-discipline. D. You may face a number of difficulties in reaching this goal. E. It is a basic life skill that determines success and happiness. F. Once you’ve chosen a goal, list the reasons why you want to achieve it. G. Remember, starting small is a good way to start developing your self-discipline. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Blake Kincheloe started an extraordinary restoration project of a 1954 International Harvester pickup truck.

We spent a lot of time in a state of debate. As much as I wanted to respect her wishes, I always had my own plans in my head. Her wishes and my plans were rarely the same. She would tell me to tie my shoelaces; I would argue that the knots made it harder to get my shoes off. She would demand that I make my bed; I would insist that it was not necessary. She would ask me to cut the grass in the backyard and I’d reply with a comprehensive list of all the reasons that the grass looked better tall and uncut. Round and round we’d go in a funny dance. She’d throw out a rule, and I’d find a loophole (漏洞) and jump through it. When all the loopholes were closed, I would switch strategies. Instead of arguing, I would try to find the closest open door and run. But it seemed that my mom was always waiting at the exit. I am convinced that weekends are not for work. They are for leisure and adventure. That’s why there’s no school on weekends. Nevertheless, my mom thinks the other way. Last Saturday morning, when I was dreaming beneath my warm blanket, my bedroom door flew open and came the voice of my mother, “Wake up, Walter. It is time to start the day.” Pretending not to hear my mom, I tried to close my eyes even tighter. My mom didn’t wait for my response. She drew open the curtain and told me that we were going to have a thorough clean for our house and that I was in charge of tidying my bedroom and the study. “I am scheduled to go skating with my friends.” I was somewhat annoyed and made an excuse. 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。 “Before you can go outside, you need to finish inside,” my mom said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time I finished, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
