B 【解析】 【原文】Texting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013. A recent study said that 40% of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease but it’s one that technology may now help cure. T.J. Evarts, a 20-year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice. It’s called Smart Wheel, and it’s designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. Evarts’ invention warns the drivers with light and sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops. It also watches for what’s called “close by hands,” where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time. All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app. So, any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of their teens’ driving habits. If they try to remove or damage the cover, that’s reported as well. Questions: What is Smart Wheel? What happens if the driver has one hand on the wheel? How do parents keep track of their teens’ driving habits? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. A. Conflicts between labor and management. B. Common complaints made by office workers. C. Health and safety conditions in the workplace. D. Rights and responsibilities of company employees. 15. A They wanted the outdated equipment replaced. B. They quit work to protect their unborn babies. C. They sought help from union representatives. D. They requested to have their posts changed. 16. A. To attract attention from the media. B. To show how much they love winter sports. C. To protest against the poor working conditions. D. To protect themselves against the cold weather. 【答案】14. C 15. D 16. C 【解析】 【原文】 Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections, my co-workers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety risks in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about seven hours a day. An X-ray technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its outdated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women, who were working with paint, requested a transfer to a safer department because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. At another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met and agreed to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away. Questions: What does the talk focus on? What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women? Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work? 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. A. Good or bad, they are here to stay. B. Believe it or not, they have survived. C. Like it or not, you have to use them. D. Gain or lose, they should be modernized. 18. A. Unreasonably priced train tickets. B. Train delays that happen frequently. C. Food of low quality sold on the trains. D. Poor service due to lack of competition. 19. A. The low efficiency of their operations. B. The passing of the new transport act. C. Constant complaints from passengers. D. Competition from other means of transport. 20. A. They provide worse service. B. They suffer losses in revenues. C. They are fast disappearing. D. They will be de-nationalized. 【答案】17. C 18. D 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: There is an element there about competition, isn’t there? Because British Railways are a nationalized industry. There’s only one railway system in the country. If you don’t like a particular kind of beans, you can go and buy another. But if you don’t like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another. M: Well, some people who write to me say that if there were another railway system in the country, you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do now. But I don’t think we do anything intentionally to upset our customers. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized. W: Do you think that’s a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalized? M: Oh, yes, because in general, means of transport are all around. Let’s face the reality. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that. W: So what are you saying then? That if the railways haven’t been nationalized, they would simply have disappeared? M: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French Railways lose 1 billion pounds a year; the German Railways, 2 billion pounds a year. But you see, those governments are prepared to pour money into the transport system to keep it going. W: So in a sense, you are caught between two extremes. On the one hand, you’re trying not to lose too much money. On the other, you’ve got to provide the best service. M: Yes, you are right. Questions: What does the woman say about British Railways? What do some people who write to the man complain about? What does the man say threatens the existence of railways? What does the man say about railways in other countries? II.

Imagine 23. consists 24. until##before 25. as##though 26. should 27. which 28. such as 29. enjoyed 30. Whether 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自制冰淇淋的好处，包括可以控制成分、更健康，以及如何将冰淇淋纳入均衡饮食。 【21题详解】 考查不定代词。句意：虽然从商店里买一个冰激凌很容易，但自己做一个也没什么特别的。根据下文“Not only is it surprisingly simple, but it also gives you complete control over what goes into it. (它不仅非常简单，而且还让您完全控制里面的东西)”说明自己做冰激凌也没有什么特别的，应用不定代词nothing，故填nothing。 【22题详解】 考查祈使句。句意：想象一下，用天然甜味剂代替加工过的糖或植物性牛奶，用健康、营养丰富的原料制作一些饮料，同时保持不可抗拒的柔滑和放纵的味道。该句为祈使句，此空应填动词原形，表示“想象”，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Imagine。 【23题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：传统的冰淇淋配方包括牛奶、浓奶油、糖，有时还有蛋黄，这有助于创造它标志性的柔滑和浓郁的味道。空处为谓语动词，描述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语“The traditional recipe”是单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，故填consists。 【24题详解】 考查时间状语从句。句意：这个过程需要高速搅拌混合物，直到达到所需的奶油稠度。/在达到所需的奶油稠度之前，这个过程需要高速搅拌混合物。空处连接时间状语从句，表示“直到/在……之前”，应用until或before，故填until或before。 【25题详解】 考查让步状语从句。句意：尽管冰淇淋是一种令人愉快的食品，但它经常食用会引发健康饮食中的平衡问题。此处为“名词+ as/though +主语+谓语”的倒装结构，引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管……”。故填as或though。 【26题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：这就引出了一个重要的问题：虽然你当然可以每天都吃一点冰淇淋，但你应该吗？这里表建议或委婉质疑，意为“你应该吗”，所以用情态动词should，故填should。 【27题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：根据饮食指南，糖的摄入量应限制在不超过每日总热量的10%，这相当于12茶匙的标准2000卡路里的饮食。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为“10% of total daily calories”，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，需用关系代词which，故填which。 【28题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：经常超过这个限制会引起健康问题，比如体重增加和代谢失衡。此处用于列举“过量吃糖导致的健康问题”，可用介词短语such as，表示“例如，比如”。故填such as。 【29题详解】 考查状语从句的省略。句意：也就是说，如果用心享用，冰淇淋仍然可以成为均衡饮食的一部分。此处为 when引导的状语从句的省略，完整句子为“when ice cream is enjoyed mindfully”，省略了从句中的ice cream is，保留过去分词，故填enjoyed。 【30题详解】 考查让步状语从句。句意：无论是选择传统的勺子还是营养丰富的自制替代品，关键是要适度品尝，同时确保它符合整体健康的饮食模式。此处为“whether...or...”固定结构，引导让步状语从句，意为“无论……还是……”，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Whether。 Section B Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

They are everywhere on social media. Just don’t ask what they look like. Meet faceless influencers, who are attracting millions of followers and are quietly conquering social media, turning their anonymity (匿名) into commercial ___31___. Their aesthetic is usually soothing, minimalist and domestic. Hands with shiny nails hold iced coffees; nondescript (不起眼的) figures lie in cozy bedrooms. Some accounts may show fleeting glimpses of an influencer’s ___32___. But all hide their identities as much as possible. On TikTok some 200,000 posts are tagged Faceless; they have a combined 1.1bn views. Facebook groups such as “Girls Gone Faceless” boast over 100,000 members. Faceless creators have the same ___33___ followings as traditional influencers. The only difference is that their followers are fascinated with their lifestyle, not their ___34___ life. Social media and influencer culture have always emphasized personal identity. But viewers are now seeking out these invisible influencers. Removing identity markers has made faceless influencing a more ___35___ space, because the content is neutral. This often means it is more ___36___, because audiences can imagine themselves there. Two things changed to give rise to the new faceless trend. One was the success of Asia’s unnamed “silent vloggers”, whose cinematic videos of daily life while ___37___ at home during the pandemic went viral. The second was the desire of people to make money as influencers without devoting their whole lives to it. Faceless influencers may be thriving today, but they are not immune to ___38___. Some wonder whether they are more likely to be displaced by those that use artificial intelligence to create content cheaply. There is also the risk of imitation by other influencers. “It can be challenging to differentiate myself since there’s no physical identity ___39___, so it’s important for me to always add a personal ____40____, such as a playful tone in my captions”, says Ms. Ortega. But there is no guarantee of success. After all, faceless influencers’ biggest competition is not other creators but the recommendation algorithm—the most important invisible influencer of them all. 【答案】31. C 32. F 33. B 34. I 35. D 36. G 37. J 38. E 39. A 40. K 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“无脸网红”这一网络现象，阐述了其在社交媒体上的流行现状、内容特点、兴起原因，同时也提及了他们面临的挑战与竞争，指出其成功并非有绝对保障。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：来认识一下无脸网红吧，他们吸引了数百万粉丝，正悄然征服社交媒体，将匿名身份转化为商业收益。根据形容词“commercial”可知，空处需填名词，结合上文的“who are attracting millions of followers and are quietly conquering social media”可知，选项中“gains(收益、所得)”符合语义，指把匿名身份转化为商业利益。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：有些账号可能会短暂展示网红的侧面形象。根据上文“Just don’t ask what they look like”以及“fleeting glimpses(短暂一瞥)”可知，此处是指展示网红的部分外貌相关内容，“profile”有“侧面轮廓、外形”之意，符合语境，即偶尔露出一点外形，但仍隐藏身份。故选F。 【33题详解】 考查形容词。句意：无脸创作者和传统网红一样，拥有忠实的粉丝群体。空处修饰名词“followings(粉丝群体)”，需用形容词，“dedicated”表示“忠诚的、献身的”，“dedicated followings”指忠实的粉丝，符合“和传统网红一样有忠实粉丝”的语义。故选B。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：唯一的区别是，他们的粉丝痴迷于他们的生活方式，而不是他们特定的个人生活。空处修饰名词“life”，结合前文“The only difference is that their followers are fascinated with their lifestyle”可知，此处是对比“特定的个人生活”，“specific(特定的、具体的)”符合语境，指粉丝不关注其特定的私人生活。故选I。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：去除身份标识让无脸网红模式成为一个更具包容性的领域，因为其内容是中立的。根据下文“because the content is neutral.”可知，这种模式会更包容，“inclusive(包容的、广泛的)”符合语义，指中立的内容使其成为更具包容性的空间。故选D。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这通常意味着它更具代入感，因为观众可以想象自己身处其中。根据下文的“audiences can imagine themselves there(观众能想象自己在那种场景里)”可知，内容更易让观众产生共鸣、有代入感，“relatable”（可理解的、有共鸣的、能产生代入感的）符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一是亚洲不知名的“无声视频博主”取得了成功，疫情期间他们待在家里拍摄的富有电影感的日常生活视频迅速走红。此处为状语从句中的省略结构，“while +形容词”在此处相当于“while they were + 形容词”，结合“during the pandemic(疫情期间)”可知，人们会被困在家里，“stuck(被困住的、无法移动的)”符合语境，指疫情期间待在家里。故选J。 【38题详解】 考查名词。句意：如今无脸网红可能发展得很好，但他们也无法免受压力的影响。根据下文“Some wonder whether they are more likely to be displaced by those that use artificial intelligence to create content cheaply. There is also the risk of imitation by other influencers.(有些人担心，自己更有可能被那些利用人工智能低成本创作内容的人取代。此外，其他网红模仿（自己）的风险也同样存在。)”可知，他们面临压力，“pressures”（压力）符合语义，指无法摆脱压力。故选E。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：奥特加女士说：“由于没有附加的实体身份，要让自己与众不同可能很有挑战性，所以对我来说，总是加入个人特色非常重要，比如在标题中使用活泼的语气。”“identity”与“attach”（附加、关联）之间是被动关系，此处用过去分词作后置定语，“identity attached”指“附加的实体身份”，符合语境，即没有实体身份作为区分。故选A。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：奥特加女士说：“由于没有附加的实体身份，要让自己与众不同可能很有挑战性，所以对我来说，总是加入个人特色非常重要，比如在标题中使用活泼的语气。”根据下文的“such as a playful tone in my captions(比如标题里活泼的语气)”可知，这是个人特色，“touch”有“风格、特色”之意，personal touch指“个人特色”，符合语境。故选K。 III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Liars get away with their deceptions for many reasons. A falsehood may seem trivial or inconsequential. Lying can be for the greater good: it is arguably ____41____ to reassure an anxious colleague over his new haircut than to stare shocked at his head. Now psychologists have uncovered a new way in which we accept the ____42____ told to us — and it rests on our capacity to imagine the future. People are more likely to excuse what they know to be a present-day lie if they believe that it may one day become true, especially if the fiction is ____43____ their beliefs. Whether the dishonesty in question concerns polishing a job resume or overstating the extent of gun violence, research shows that individuals can be psychologically primed to give false information a ____44____. The work has implications for both politics and business in which idealized, ____45____ statements are the norm. “The results are concerning because people can’t fact-check what might become ____46____in the future,” says Beth Anne Helgason, a doctoral student in organizational psychology at the London Business School. While research on ____47____ has traditionally focused on understanding how people are tricked into mistaking lies for the truth, Helgason and her colleague Daniel Effron wanted to investigate cases where people recognized that a statement was factually false but nevertheless judged it to be ethically ____48____. They ran a mixture of online and laboratory studies with about 3,600 participants, who were asked to make moral ____49____ on various forms of untruths. In one experiment that involved more than 400 MBA students from 59 countries, most ____50____ it was unacceptable to falsely claim financial modelling skills on a resume. Yet when asked to imagine that an applicant’s business school might offer a summer course on this very subject, their disapproval ____51____. Helgason explains: “If the applicant could ____52____ learn financial modelling skills at some time in the future, then students didn’t think it was so unethical to be falsely claiming knowledge of these skills in the present, even if there was no ____53____ that the learning would happen.” Unfortunately, she points out, people tend to ____54____ both their abilities and the speed with which they can learn new things: “Our research shows that people think it’s not so bad to lie about having a skill they might have in the future, but if you combine that with people being really bad at knowing what skills they’ll have in the future, it becomes very ____55____.” 41.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了心理学家发现，人们之所以容易原谅当下的谎言，是因为相信它“将来可能成真”。只要虚假陈述符合自己的观念，人们就更愿意给它“道德通行证”。研究显示，在政界和商界常用的“理想化话术”里，这种预期自证式谎言尤其危险：大家明知简历或宣传夸大，却觉得“以后也许能实现”，于是低估撒谎的不道德性。然而，人普遍高估自己未来的能力，导致谎言永远无法兑现，带来现实风险。 【41题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：说谎可能是为了更大的利益：可以说，安抚一位因新发型而焦虑的同事，要比震惊地盯着他的头更友善。A. harder更困难的；B. easier更容易的；C. crueler更残忍的；D. kinder更善良的。根据下文“to reassure an anxious colleague over his new haircut than to stare shocked at his head.”可知，安抚一位因新发型而焦虑的同事属于友善的行为。故选D。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在，心理学家发现了一种新的方式，让我们接受别人告诉我们的谎言——这取决于我们想象未来的能力。A. misfortunes不幸；B. untruths谎言；C. dissimilarities差异；D. imbalances不平衡。根据下文“People are more likely to excuse what they know to be a present-day lie if they believe that it may one day become true, especially if the fiction is ____3____ their beliefs.”可知，此处指接受别人告诉我们的谎言。故选B。 【43题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：如果人们相信某一天它可能成为现实，尤其是当谎言与他们的信念一致时，他们更有可能为他们知道是当今谎言的东西找借口。A. in line with与……一致；B. in opposition to与……相反；C. in place of代替；D. in exchange for换取。根据上文“People are more likely to excuse what they know to be a present-day lie if they believe that it may one day become true”可知，如果人们相信某一天它可能成为现实，人们就会接受别人说的谎言，此处强调当谎言与他们的信念一致时，人们更会接受。故选A。 【44题详解】 考查名词短语辨析。句意：研究表明，无论是美化简历还是夸大枪支暴力的程度，个人在心理上可能会对虚假信息给予道德通行证。A. red light红灯；B. quick license快速许可；C. moral pass道德通行证；D. free ride免费乘车。根据下文“Helgason and her colleague Daniel Effron wanted to investigate cases where people recognized that a statement was factually false but nevertheless judged it to be ethically ____8____.”可知，此处指个人在心理上可能会对虚假信息给予道德通行证。故选C。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这项工作对政治和商业都有影响，在这些领域，理想化的前瞻性陈述是常态。A. clear-cut明确的；B. misleading误导的；C. forward-looking前瞻的；D. official官方的。根据下文“The results are concerning because people can’t fact-check what might become ____6____in the future,”可知，人们无法核实未来可能成真的事情。由此可知，此处指那些理想化的前瞻性陈述。故选C。 【46题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：伦敦商学院组织心理学博士生Beth Anne Helgason表示：“研究结果令人担忧，因为人们无法核实未来可能成真的事情。”A. inevitable不可避免的；B. vital至关重要的；C. widespread广泛的；D. true真实的。根据上文“The work has implications for both politics and business, in which idealized, ____5____ statements are the norm.”可知，此处指人们无法核实那些理想化的前瞻性陈述是否能成为事实。故选D。 【47题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：传统上，对错误信息的研究主要集中在理解人们是如何被骗把谎言当成真相的，而Helgason和她的同事Daniel Effron想要调查的是，人们意识到一个陈述实际上是错误的，但仍然认为它在道德上是可以接受的。A. gossip流言蜚语；B. misinformation错误信息；C. integrity诚信；D. impoliteness无礼。根据下文“has traditionally focused on understanding how people are tricked into mistaking lies for the truth”可知，这项研究主要集中在理解人们是如何被骗把谎言当成真相的。由此可知，此处是一项对错误信息的研究。故选B。 【48题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：传统上，对错误信息的研究主要集中在理解人们是如何被骗把谎言当成真相的，而Helgason和她的同事Daniel Effron想要调查的是，人们意识到一个陈述实际上是错误的，但仍然认为它在道德上是可以接受的。A. acceptable可接受的；B. unconscionable极不公正的；C. questionable可疑的；D. debatable可争议的，有待商榷的。根据上文“how people are tricked into mistaking lies for the truth, Helgason and her colleague Daniel Effron wanted to investigate cases where people recognized that a statement was factually false but nevertheless”中的“but”可知，前后句意存在转折，虽然人们意识到一个陈述实际上是错误的，但仍然认为它在道德上是可以接受的，从而把谎言当成真相。故选A。 【49题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们对大约3600名参与者进行了在线和实验室研究，要求他们对各种形式的谎言做出道德判断。A. apologies道歉；B. accusations指控；C. judgements判决；D. reflections反思。根据上文“They ran a mixture of online and laboratory studies with about 3,600 participants”可知，研究人员开展在线和实验室研究是为了收集人们对各种形式的谎言做出的道德判断。故选C。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在一项涉及来自59个国家的400多名MBA学生的实验中，大多数人认为在简历中谎称拥有金融建模技能是不可接受的。A. dismissed解雇；B. questioned质疑；C. predicted预测；D. thought认为。根据下文“it was unacceptable to falsely claim financial modelling skills on a resume.”可知，这是人们的观点，即人们认为的事情。故选D。 【51题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，当被要求想象申请人所在的商学院可能会开设这一主题的暑期课程时，他们的反对态度软化了。A. intensified强化；B. emerged出现；C. disappeared消失；D. softened软化。根据上文“In one experiment that involved more than 400 MBA students from 59 countries, most ____10____ it was unacceptable to falsely claim financial modelling skills on a resume.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) It’s bad, but its not all bad. During the lockdown, to be confined in your home with the people you love most against an invisible disease may be, at times, uncomfortable. But it can also be like living inside a poem. For me, especially early in the pandemic, it was also more than a little like living in a war zone again. The danger is real but also in some ways random. You assess risk constantly. In the first days of New York’s lockdown, at the market closest to my house, the handle of the shopping cart stared up at me. It was a bluish-purple strand of plastic that seemed to hold death. I had left the house without wipes. My son was climbing on everything. People said it felt like living in a horror movie. That was not the sensation. A horror movie moves between fear and the delighted anticipation of fear. The feeling in the market was the leaden tug of dread. It was steady, and pressed you down, the way a survivor of a bombing says a blast wave does. It was also a kind of gift. Against this backdrop, what you value in life is more vivid. You can’t call it a silver lining, but there is a quality of light involved, a lining that lights up edges. As a friend said after receiving a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, “A mirror doesn’t work without backing. You need the black.” That is the value in these days. Ordinarily, to experience what much of the country was experiencing in kitchens and family rooms, you would have had to get yourself to join the army. I once was a war correspondent and ran a news center for a while in a war zone. The danger was real but also in some ways random. We assessed risk constantly. And it was understood that any one of us would die for the other: “The truth of war,” David Finkel wrote in Thank You For Your Service, “is that it’s always about loving the guy next to you.” And if you’re already in love with that person? Think of a man in bed, his family asleep down the hall as he dreams of faraway places. I was in faraway places, dreaming of a family asleep down the hall. After we left the market I kept telling my son not to touch his face. So of course he reached for his cheek. Then he walked down a sidewalk that was all but empty. Knowing what’s important, people were staying home. 56. Living in a war zone is similar to living in a locked down city in that _________. A. people are confined to their homes against invisible dangers B. people constantly evaluate risks of real but random dangers C. people delightedly anticipate sliver linings lighting up their lives D. people have to join certain organizations to have same experience 57. By saying “the leaden tug of dread” in Paragraph 3, the author means that _________. A. the market was a horrible place in a thriller B. the fear was deeply depressing and frustrating C. the horror movie offered long-lasting sensation D. the fearful survivor often recalls blast waves 58. According to the author, what gift does the lockdown afford us? A. We are clearer about what we value in life. B. We know our images better against the backdrop. C. We start to be in love with the person next to us. D. We increasingly miss our family in faraway places. 59. We can learn from the passage that _________. A. the handle of the shopping cart is poisonous B. the author’s friend likes wearing black clothes C. the author revealed the truth of war in a book D. the author’s son didn’t realize the danger at all 【答案】56. B 57. B 58. A 59. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在疫情封闭期间的感慨。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The danger is real but also in some ways random. You assess risk constantly.  (危险是真实存在，但在某些方面也是随机的。你不断地评估风险)”可知，作者之所以认为生活在战区与生活在封锁的城市相似是因为人们需要不断地评估真实但随机的危险的风险。故选B。 【57题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“It was steady, and pressed you down, the way a survivor of a bombing says a blast wave does. (它很稳定，把你压下去，就像一个爆炸幸存者所说的冲击波一样)”可知，市场上的恐惧是持续稳定的，一直压着我们，所以这种恐惧只会带来我们负面情绪，由此推知“the leaden tug of dread”意思是市场中的恐惧让人深感绝望和沮丧。故选B。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It was also a kind of gift. Against this backdrop, what you value in life is more vivid. You can’t call it a silver lining, but there is a quality of light involved, a lining that lights up edges. (这也是一种礼物。在这样的背景下，你对生活所珍视的事物更加鲜明。你不能称它为一线希望，但它涉及到一种光的质量，一种照亮边缘的内衬)”可知，作者认为封禁期间也带给了礼物，让我们更清楚地知道自己生活中所珍惜的事物。故选A。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I had left the house without wipes. My son was climbing on everything. (我出门时没带湿巾。我儿子爬上了所有的东西)”和最后一段“So of course he reached for his cheek. Then he walked down a sidewalk that was all but empty. (当然，他伸手去摸他的脸颊。然后他走在一条几乎空无一人的人行道上)”可知，儿子还是依旧乱摸，由此推之作者的儿子并没有意识到疫情期间病毒的危险性。故选D。 (B) Whether you are a first time cruiser looking to stay close to home or an experienced world explorer looking for a new and interesting place to seek adventure, the cruise opportunities are available across the globe.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍全球多样的邮轮旅行选择，包括特色邮轮优惠、舱型价格及重点邮轮的活动设施，助力游客挑选合适行程。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据“4 Night Cruise to Bahamas”中的“Ship: Utopia of the Seas Balcony Cabin: a window, a private balcony, outdoor space Departs: Port Canaveral (Orlando) (4晚巴哈马邮轮之旅 船只：海洋乌托邦号 阳台舱：带窗户、私人阳台和户外空间 出发地：卡纳维拉尔港（奥兰多）)”可知，该行程时间短且舱型能满足观景需求。故选D项。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据“7 Night Cruise to Bahamas Ship: Norwegian Viva $500pp (50% OFF 2nd Guest) (7晚巴哈马邮轮之旅，船只：诺唯真活力号，每人500美元（第二位客人享50%折扣）)”以及“Peak season pricing: 20% increase during holiday or summer (旺季定价：节假日或夏季期间涨价20%)”可知，圣诞假期属于旺季，先计算原价：第一位客人500美元，第二位客人500×50%=250美元，两人原价共750美元；旺季涨价20%，则总价为750×(1+20%)=900美元；根据“4 Night Cruise to Bahamas”中的“$ 600pp (每人600美元)”可知，两人总价600×2×1.2=1440美元，高于900美元。故选B项。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Featured cruise ships”中“Voyager of the seas，Dreamworks (experience for kid with character dining and meet & greets)，Ice skating shows，Variety of cuisines (海洋航行者号，梦工厂（为儿童提供角色用餐和见面互动体验），滑冰表演，多种美食)”可知，该邮轮有适合儿童的互动体验项目，适合带幼儿的家庭。故选C项。 (C) Nowhere does landscape marry passion quite so much as in Yorkshire’s Wuthering Heights. The wild Pennine slopes and rushing streams perfectly frame Emily Brontë’s stormy romance. From the moorland (广袤的荒野) peaks to the Brontë village of Haworth, the scene is untouched — until now. Enter Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, who appears willing to sacrifice this iconic landscape for the Calderdale Energy Park, the largest onshore windfarm in England. The plan calls for 41 wind turbines (涡轮机), each 200 meters tall — 40 meters higher than Blackpool Tower — planted across the moors. It’s hard to believe. The glorious Pennine Way would become a stroll through an industrial park of roads, depots, and trucks. A Saudi-backed firm, Calderdale Wind Farm Ltd, even considered coating the peat (泥炭地) with solar panels. Miliband’s arguments for onshore wind are familiar: Britain must show global leadership on net zero. Yet Britain’s emissions are minor, and many suspect this is more about political signaling than environmental necessity. Opponents are dismissed as romantics, blind to climate urgency and economic growth. But language matters. Yes, renewables are vital — but specifics demand compromise. Critics note that Britain’s net-zero ambitions, more political than practical, help explain why UK households pay some of the world’s highest energy bills, driven by unclear subsidies (补贴) and wasteful nuclear spending. Meanwhile, construction — responsible for 25% of national emissions — goes unchecked. The government taxes improving old buildings but doesn’t tax carbon-heavy new ones, effectively rewarding pollution. The hypocrisy is glaring. A real debate is needed on where, if anywhere, onshore turbines should go. They dominate landscapes, their height and motion unavoidable. Some sit harmlessly in industrial zones. Others ruin rural Northamptonshire and threaten the mountains of mid-Wales. Offshore turbines, by contrast, are less intrusive and less controversial — but more expensive. Miliband has reversed the cautious stance on onshore wind, removing local councils’ power to resist. Without a shared language of beauty and place, money will always win. Since the 1940s, we assumed some landscapes deserved protection. That agreement is gone. Would Miliband propose turbines on Parliament Hill Fields in his native Camden? If so, how would his neighbours react? Likely with great anger. And if he backed down, what argument would he offer? Perhaps he should try it. We might all learn something. 63. The author mentions Wuthering Heights mainly in order to ________. A. stress the symbolic value of the landscape under threat B. imply that Yorkshire has long attracted artistic attention C. suggest that literature romanticizes remote British regions D. show how novels can influence modern environmental decisions 64. By stating “The hypocrisy is glaring,” (para.5) the author is criticizing the government for ________. A. failing to reduce household energy bills despite investing in renewables B. supporting offshore wind while ignoring the damage of onshore alternatives C. supporting carbon-heavy construction while claiming to fight climate change D. allowing foreign corporations to build on protected land without public consultation 65. Which of the following would most weaken the author’s argument against the windfarm project? A. Other areas of the Pennines already contain industrial developments. B. The turbines are expected to reduce local energy bills by a small percentage. C. Local councils have recently approved similar renewable projects elsewhere. D. Environmental assessments show that the moorland ecosystem will not be harmed. 66. What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A. To highlight the inconsistency in Miliband’s approach through irony. B. To criticize local councils for failing to resist onshore wind development. C. To propose a practical solution for locating new renewable energy projects. D. To suggest that Camden has greater responsibility for environmental change. 【答案】63. A 64. C 65. D 66. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出英国能源大臣拟在约克郡《呼啸山庄》背景的标志性荒原建大型陆上风电场，批判政府环保说辞与纵容碳排放的虚伪，反对该项目破坏景观，质疑其立场一致性。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowhere does landscape marry passion quite so much as in Yorkshire’s Wuthering Heights. The wild Pennine slopes and rushing streams perfectly frame Emily Brontë’s stormy romance. From the moorland (广袤的荒野) peaks to the Brontë village of Haworth, the scene is untouched — until now.(在英格兰的约克郡，没有什么地方能像“呼啸山庄”这般将自然美景与浪漫情怀完美融合。那荒凉的奔宁山坡和湍急的溪流恰如其分地衬托出了艾米莉·勃朗特那充满激情的传奇故事。从广袤的荒野山峰到勃朗特家族的霍沃斯村，这里的景色一直保持着原始的风貌——直到现在才有所改变)”以及第二段“Enter Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, who appears willing to sacrifice this iconic landscape for the Calderdale Energy Park, the largest onshore windfarm in England.(能源部长埃德·米利班德登场了，他似乎愿意为了建造卡勒德勒能源园区（这是英格兰最大的陆上风力发电场）而放弃这片具有标志性意义的区域)”可推知，作者提及《呼啸山庄》主要是为了强调面临威胁的自然景观所具有的象征意义。故选A。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Meanwhile, construction — responsible for 25% of national emissions — goes unchecked. The government taxes improving old buildings but doesn’t tax carbon-heavy new ones, effectively rewarding pollution. The hypocrisy is glaring.(与此同时，占全国排放量25%的建筑施工活动却未受到任何监管。政府对改造老旧建筑征收税费，却不对碳排放量大的新建建筑征税，这实际上是在奖励污染行为。这种虚伪是显而易见的)”可推知，作者在第5段中写道“这种虚伪是显而易见的”，以此来批评政府一方面大力推动高碳排放的建设项目，另一方面却又声称要对抗气候变化。故选C。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Enter Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, who appears willing to sacrifice this iconic landscape for the Calderdale Energy Park, the largest onshore windfarm in England.(能源部长埃德·米利班德登场了，他似乎愿意为了建造卡勒德勒能源园区（这是英格兰最大的陆上风力发电场）而放弃这片具有标志性意义的区域)”以及“The glorious Pennine Way would become a stroll through an industrial park of roads, depots, and trucks.(那条壮丽的奔宁之路将会变成一条穿梭于众多道路、仓库和卡车之间的工业区漫步之路)”可推知，作者反对风力发电场项目的主要论据是该项目会破坏约克郡的标志性景观，对当地的自然环境和生态系统造成负面影响，故“环境评估表明，这片山地的生态系统不会受到损害”最能削弱作者反对风力发电项目的观点。故选D。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Would Miliband propose turbines on Parliament Hill Fields in his native Camden? If so, how would his neighbours react? Likely with great anger. And if he backed down, what argument would he offer? Perhaps he should try it. We might all learn something.(米利班德会在他家乡卡姆登的议会山公园里安装风力涡轮机吗？如果他会这么做，他的邻居们会作何反应？很可能会非常愤怒。而如果他改变了主意，他会给出怎样的理由呢？或许他应该试试看。我们或许都能从中有所收获)”可推知，最后一段的写作目的是通过讽刺手法凸显米利班德策略的不连贯性。故选A。 Section C Directions: After reading the passage below, choose the best answers from the six statements according to what you have just read. The Fight for a Clean Energy Future Net zero climate policies are increasingly under threat. Elected far-right populists and authoritarian oil-rich states are pushing back against global climate efforts. Meanwhile, Europe is facing yet another summer of record-breaking heatwaves. _______67_______ Yet UN secretary general António Guterres offered a note of hope in a recent speech. “The sun is rising on a clean energy age,” he said, highlighting the falling costs of solar and wind energy. He warned of future gas-price shocks and urged major tech companies — whose energy-hungry data centres are driving up electricity demand — to commit to using 100% low-carbon power by 2030. Given US president Donald Trump’s open hostility toward renewable energy, Mr. Guterres may be right to focus on businesses rather than politicians. In Scotland this week, Mr. Trump once again launched a misleading attack on wind turbines. _______68_______ This makes him a uniquely damaging figure — but he’s not alone. In several countries, populist parties are stepping up their opposition to climate goals. _______69_______ Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has questioned net zero and even suggested leaving the Paris Agreement. Her acting shadow energy secretary accused the UN’s top climate scientists of bias. Labour’s Ed Miliband responded firmly, calling such attitudes anti-science and irresponsible. With the UN climate deadline approaching, political courage is essential. The goal of tripling global renewable capacity by 2030 is still far out of reach. _______70_______ Grid systems need upgrading. Supply chains must be improved. Labour’s proposal for fairer billing through a social energy tariff (关税) could protect vulnerable households. Real progress will take honesty, ambition — and determination. A. In the UK, views that once belonged to the political extremes have moved into the mainstream. B. He says he backs green energy and believes wind and solar should play a role in the energy mix. C. The world’s failure to reduce carbon emissions remains deeply concerning. D. Domestically, Britain must ensure a fair and well-planned green transition. E. Public awareness of energy issues is growing, but many remain unsure about what net zero really means. F. He also supports the cancellation of major green investments. 【答案】67. C 68. F 69. A 70.

Light the Cities of the Future A previously unlit cycle path in the Netherlands has recently drawn our attention. It has been resurfaced with a material that consists of thousands of shining stones in order to create a well-lit route. The Van Gogh Path, so called after the artist who lived in the town of Nuenen in 1883, combines the traditional with the contemporary in a gesture that acknowledge ledges Van Gingh’ masterpiece The Starry Night, but also shows the way ahead for city lighting. The Van Gogh Path is not a single case; it is not difficult to foresee a time when natural materials could help light the cities of the future. Why should we care about city lighting? What’s wrong with current electrical city lighting anyway? Well, the problem that it causes is two-fold. First, of course, electrical lighting in most cities comes from non-renewable resources. According to the International Energy Agency, almost 20% of global electricity is consumed for lighting, which is responsible for high levels of carbon emissions. But there’s also the belief that electrical light itself is a form of pollution by destroying our view of the night sky. From the above reasons, then, it seems wise to investigate other approaches. The city of Glasgow is attempting to use intelligent street lighting to monitor how citizens interact with the urban landscape and minimize electrical consumption and thus emissions. This “Smart City approach” is seen by many as the way of the future, but some designers aren’t convinced. They are pioneering the altogether more original approach of using materials from the natural world in order to replace electrical light entirely. They believe that this new “technology” can one day completely replace microchips and digital systems as we find better ways of making use of the light-producing mechanisms (制) that already exist in the natural world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The passage discusses the innovation in city lighting by introducing the Van Gogh Path in the Netherlands, which uses luminous stones for illumination. It highlights the environmental and aesthetic issues with current electrical lighting and explores alternatives such as intelligent street lighting and natural materials to create a more sustainable and visually appealing urban environment. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先介绍了荷兰一条新铺设的发光自行车道——梵高之路，它使用了数千颗发光石来照明，以此引出城市照明的未来趋势。接着，文章讨论了当前城市照明存在的问题，包括能源消耗和光污染，并提出了智能街道照明和利用自然材料作为替代方案。最后，文章展望了这些新技术可能完全取代现有微芯片和数字系统的未来。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①The Van Gogh Path in the Netherlands has been resurfaced with luminous stones to create a well-lit route. ②Electrical lighting in most cities comes from non-renewable resources and contributes to high levels of carbon emissions. ③Electrical light is considered a form of pollution that destroys our view of the night sky. ④Alternatives such as intelligent street lighting and natural materials are being explored to create a more sustainable urban environment. 2. 缜密构思 将第①要点作为引入，第②和第③要点整合讨论现有城市照明的问题，第④要点作为解决方案和未来展望。 3. 遣词造句 The Van Gogh Path, a luminous cycle path in the Netherlands, represents an innovative approach to city lighting.

However, 28.57% of the students are indifferent because their family conditions are good and they like to go to museums to increase their knowledge. They will go there anyway.

A recent study said that forty percent of american teams claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease, but it's one that technology may now help cure. t. Jf arts, a twenty year old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put testing drivers on notice. It's called smart wheel, and it's designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. Ev's invention warns the drivers with light and sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel, the light turns back to Green and the sound stops. IT also watches for what's called close by hands, where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel, so the driver can type with both thugs and drive at the same time. All the data smart wheel collects is also sent to a connected APP, so any parents who install smart wheel can keep track of the teams driving habits if they try to remove or damage the cover that's reported as well.

Sweet Treat, Smart Choice Ice cream is one of life’s simple pleasures-a sweet, creamy delight that brings joy whether enjoyed as a refreshing dessert or a midday pick-me-up. While grabbing a tub from the store is easy, there’s ___21___ special about making your own. Not only is it surprisingly simple, but it also gives you complete control over what goes into it. ___22___ (imagine) making some with wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients using natural sweeteners instead of processed sugars or using plant-based milk-all while keeping that irresistible smoothness and indulgent flavor. With homemade ice cream you’re not just making a treat, you’re creating a guilt-free moment of happiness, perfectly tailored to your tastes and health goals. The traditional recipe for ice cream ___23___ (consist) of milk, heavy cream, sugar, and at times, egg yolks, which help create its signature smoothness and deep flavor. Commercial varieties, however, frequently contain additives to refine texture and maintain stability. The process involves churning (搅拌) the mixture at high speeds ___24___ it reaches the desired creamy consistency. Delightful treat ___25___ ice cream undeniably is, its frequent consumption raises the question of balance in a healthy diet. This leads to an important consideration: While you could certainly enjoy a bit of ice cream every day, ___26___ you? From a nutritional perspective, moderation is key. According to dietary guidelines, sugar intake should be limited to no more than 10% of total daily calories, ___27___ amounts to 12 teaspoons for a standard 2,000-calorie diet. Regularly exceeding this limit can cause health concerns ___28___ weight gain and metabolic imbalances. That said, ice cream can still be part of a balanced diet when ___29___ (enjoy) mindfully. Making it at home allows for healthier ingredient choices: for instance, a simple homemade alternative can be made by blending frozen bananas with almond butter and a splash of milk for a naturally sweet and creamy treat. ____30____opting for a traditional scoop or a nutritious homemade alternative, the key is moderation savoring the treat while ensuring it fits into an overall healthy eating pattern.

A. attached B. dedicated C. gains D. inclusive E. pressures F. profile G. relatable H. sacred I. specific J. stuck K. touch Faceless influencers Faceless influencers are becoming famous online. They are everywhere on social media. Just don’t ask what they look like. Meet faceless influencers, who are attracting millions of followers and are quietly conquering social media, turning their anonymity (匿名) into commercial ___31___. Their aesthetic is usually soothing, minimalist and domestic. Hands with shiny nails hold iced coffees; nondescript (不起眼的) figures lie in cozy bedrooms. Some accounts may show fleeting glimpses of an influencer’s ___32___. But all hide their identities as much as possible. On TikTok some 200,000 posts are tagged Faceless; they have a combined 1.1bn views. Facebook groups such as “Girls Gone Faceless” boast over 100,000 members. Faceless creators have the same ___33___ followings as traditional influencers. The only difference is that their followers are fascinated with their lifestyle, not their ___34___ life. Social media and influencer culture have always emphasized personal identity. But viewers are now seeking out these invisible influencers. Removing identity markers has made faceless influencing a more ___35___ space, because the content is neutral. This often means it is more ___36___, because audiences can imagine themselves there. Two things changed to give rise to the new faceless trend. One was the success of Asia’s unnamed “silent vloggers”, whose cinematic videos of daily life while ___37___ at home during the pandemic went viral. The second was the desire of people to make money as influencers without devoting their whole lives to it. Faceless influencers may be thriving today, but they are not immune to ___38___. Some wonder whether they are more likely to be displaced by those that use artificial intelligence to create content cheaply. There is also the risk of imitation by other influencers. “It can be challenging to differentiate myself since there’s no physical identity ___39___, so it’s important for me to always add a personal ____40____, such as a playful tone in my captions”, says Ms. Ortega. But there is no guarantee of success. After all, faceless influencers’ biggest competition is not other creators but the recommendation algorithm—the most important invisible influencer of them all.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Liars get away with their deceptions for many reasons. A falsehood may seem trivial or inconsequential.

Now psychologists have uncovered a new way in which we accept the ____42____ told to us — and it rests on our capacity to imagine the future. People are more likely to excuse what they know to be a present-day lie if they believe that it may one day become true, especially if the fiction is ____43____ their beliefs. Whether the dishonesty in question concerns polishing a job resume or overstating the extent of gun violence, research shows that individuals can be psychologically primed to give false information a ____44____. The work has implications for both politics and business, in which idealized, ____45____ statements are the norm. “The results are concerning because people can’t fact-check what might become ____46____in the future,” says Beth Anne Helgason, a doctoral student in organizational psychology at the London Business School. While research on ____47____ has traditionally focused on understanding how people are tricked into mistaking lies for the truth, Helgason and her colleague Daniel Effron wanted to investigate cases where people recognized that a statement was factually false but nevertheless judged it to be ethically ____48____. They ran a mixture of online and laboratory studies with about 3,600 participants, who were asked to make moral ____49____ on various forms of untruths. In one experiment that involved more than 400 MBA students from 59 countries, most ____50____ it was unacceptable to falsely claim financial modelling skills on a resume. Yet when asked to imagine that an applicant’s business school might offer a summer course on this very subject, their disapproval ____51____. Helgason explains: “If the applicant could ____52____ learn financial modelling skills at some time in the future, then students didn’t think it was so unethical to be falsely claiming knowledge of these skills in the present, even if there was no ____53____ that the learning would happen.” Unfortunately, she points out, people tend to ____54____ both their abilities and the speed with which they can learn new things: “Our research shows that people think it’s not so bad to lie about having a skill they might have in the future, but if you combine that with people being really bad at knowing what skills they’ll have in the future, it becomes very ____55____.” 41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) It’s bad, but its not all bad. During the lockdown, to be confined in your home with the people you love most against an invisible disease may be, at times, uncomfortable. But it can also be like living inside a poem. For me especially early in the pandemic, it was also more than a little like living in a war zone again. The danger is real but also in some ways random. You assess risk constantly. In the first days of New York’s lockdown, at the market closest to my house, the handle of the shopping cart stared up at me. It was a bluish-purple strand of plastic that seemed to hold death. I had left the house without wipes. My son was climbing on everything. People said it felt like living in a horror movie. That was not the sensation. A horror movie moves between fear and the delighted anticipation of fear. The feeling in the market was the leaden tug of dread. It was steady, and pressed you down, the way a survivor of a bombing says a blast wave does. It was also a kind of gift. Against this backdrop, what you value in life is more vivid. You can’t call it a silver lining, but there is a quality of light involved, a lining that lights up edges. As a friend said after receiving a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, “A mirror doesn’t work without backing. You need the black.” That is the value in these days. Ordinarily, to experience what much of the country was experiencing in kitchens and family rooms, you would have had to get yourself to join the army. I once was a war correspondent and ran a news center for a while in a war zone. The danger was real but also in some ways random. We assessed risk constantly. And it was understood that any one of us would die for the other: “The truth of war,” David Finkel wrote in Thank You For Your Service, “is that it’s always about loving the guy next to you.” And if you’re already in love with that person? Think of a man in bed, his family asleep down the hall as he dreams of faraway places. I was in faraway places, dreaming of a family asleep down the hall. After we left the market I kept telling my son not to touch his face. So of course he reached for his cheek. Then he walked down a sidewalk that was all but empty. Knowing what’s important, people were staying home. 56. Living in a war zone is similar to living in a locked down city in that _________. A. people are confined to their homes against invisible dangers B. people constantly evaluate risks of real but random dangers C. people delightedly anticipate sliver linings lighting up their lives D. people have to join certain organizations to have same experience 57. By saying “the leaden tug of dread” in Paragraph 3, the author means that _________. A. the market was a horrible place in a thriller B. the fear was deeply depressing and frustrating C. the horror movie offered long-lasting sensation D. the fearful survivor often recalls blast waves 58. According to the author, what gift does the lockdown afford us? A. We are clearer about what we value in life. B. We know our images better against the backdrop. C. We start to be in love with the person next to us. D. We increasingly miss our family in faraway places. 59. We can learn from the passage that _________. A. the handle of the shopping cart is poisonous B. the author’s friend likes wearing black clothes C. the author revealed the truth of war in a book D. the author’s son didn’t realize the danger at all (B) Whether you are a first time cruiser looking to stay close to home or an experienced world explorer looking for a new and interesting place to seek adventure, the cruise opportunities are available across the globe.

(C) Nowhere does landscape marry passion quite so much as in Yorkshire’s Wuthering Heights. The wild Pennine slopes and rushing streams perfectly frame Emily Brontë’s stormy romance. From the moorland (广袤的荒野) peaks to the Brontë village of Haworth, the scene is untouched — until now. Enter Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, who appears willing to sacrifice this iconic landscape for the Calderdale Energy Park, the largest onshore windfarm in England. The plan calls for 41 wind turbines (涡轮机), each 200 meters tall — 40 meters higher than Blackpool Tower — planted across the moors. It’s hard to believe. The glorious Pennine Way would become a stroll through an industrial park of roads, depots, and trucks. A Saudi-backed firm, Calderdale Wind Farm Ltd, even considered coating the peat (泥炭地) with solar panels. Miliband’s arguments for onshore wind are familiar: Britain must show global leadership on net zero. Yet Britain’s emissions are minor, and many suspect this is more about political signaling than environmental necessity. Opponents are dismissed as romantics, blind to climate urgency and economic growth. But language matters. Yes, renewables are vital — but specifics demand compromise. Critics note that Britain’s net-zero ambitions, more political than practical, help explain why UK households pay some of the world’s highest energy bills, driven by unclear subsidies (补贴) and wasteful nuclear spending. Meanwhile, construction — responsible for 25% of national emissions — goes unchecked. The government taxes improving old buildings but doesn’t tax carbon-heavy new ones, effectively rewarding pollution. The hypocrisy is glaring. A real debate is needed on where, if anywhere, onshore turbines should go. They dominate landscapes, their height and motion unavoidable. Some sit harmlessly in industrial zones. Others ruin rural Northamptonshire and threaten the mountains of mid-Wales. Offshore turbines, by contrast, are less intrusive and less controversial — but more expensive. Miliband has reversed the cautious stance on onshore wind, removing local councils’ power to resist. Without a shared language of beauty and place, money will always win. Since the 1940s, we assumed some landscapes deserved protection. That agreement is gone. Would Miliband propose turbines on Parliament Hill Fields in his native Camden? If so, how would his neighbours react? Likely with great anger. And if he backed down, what argument would he offer? Perhaps he should try it. We might all learn something. 63. The author mentions Wuthering Heights mainly in order to ________. A. stress the symbolic value of the landscape under threat B. imply that Yorkshire has long attracted artistic attention C. suggest that literature romanticizes remote British regions D. show how novels can influence modern environmental decisions 64. By stating “The hypocrisy is glaring,” (para.5) the author is criticizing the government for ________. A. failing to reduce household energy bills despite investing in renewables B. supporting offshore wind while ignoring the damage of onshore alternatives C. supporting carbon-heavy construction while claiming to fight climate change D. allowing foreign corporations to build on protected land without public consultation 65. Which of the following would most weaken the author’s argument against the windfarm project? A. Other areas of the Pennines already contain industrial developments. B. The turbines are expected to reduce local energy bills by a small percentage. C. Local councils have recently approved similar renewable projects elsewhere. D. Environmental assessments show that the moorland ecosystem will not be harmed. 66. What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A. To highlight the inconsistency in Miliband’s approach through irony. B To criticize local councils for failing to resist onshore wind development. C. To propose a practical solution for locating new renewable energy projects. D. To suggest that Camden has greater responsibility for environmental change. Section C Directions: After reading the passage below, choose the best answers from the six statements according to what you have just read. The Fight for a Clean Energy Future Net zero climate policies are increasingly under threat. Elected far-right populists and authoritarian oil-rich states are pushing back against global climate efforts. Meanwhile, Europe is facing yet another summer of record-breaking heatwaves. _______67_______ Yet UN secretary general António Guterres offered a note of hope in a recent speech. “The sun is rising on a clean energy age,” he said, highlighting the falling costs of solar and wind energy. He warned of future gas-price shocks and urged major tech companies — whose energy-hungry data centres are driving up electricity demand — to commit to using 100% low-carbon power by 2030. Given US president Donald Trump’s open hostility toward renewable energy, Mr. Guterres may be right to focus on businesses rather than politicians. In Scotland this week, Mr. Trump once again launched a misleading attack on wind turbines. _______68_______ This makes him a uniquely damaging figure — but he’s not alone. In several countries, populist parties are stepping up their opposition to climate goals. _______69_______ Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has questioned net zero and even suggested leaving the Paris Agreement Her acting shadow energy secretary accused the UN’s top climate scientists of bias. Labour’s Ed Miliband responded firmly, calling such attitudes anti-science and irresponsible. With the UN climate deadline approaching, political courage is essential. The goal of tripling global renewable capacity by 2030 is still far out of reach. _______70_______ Grid systems need upgrading. Supply chains must be improved. Labour’s proposal for fairer billing through a social energy tariff (关税) could protect vulnerable households. Real progress will take honesty, ambition — and determination. A. In the UK, views that once belonged to the political extremes have moved into the mainstream. B. He says he backs green energy and believes wind and solar should play a role in the energy mix. C. The world’s failure to reduce carbon emissions remains deeply concerning. D. Domestically, Britain must ensure a fair and well-planned green transition. E. Public awareness of energy issues is growing, but many remain unsure about what net zero really means. F. He also supports the cancellation of major green investments. IV. Summary Writing Directions: 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Light the Cities of the Future A previously unlit cycle path in the Netherlands has recently drawn our attention. It has been resurfaced with a material that consists of thousands of shining stones in order to create a well-lit route. The Van Gogh Path, so called after the artist who lived in the town of Nuenen in 1883, combines the traditional with the contemporary in a gesture that acknowledge ledges Van Gingh’ masterpiece The Starry Night, but also shows the way ahead for city lighting. The Van Gogh Path is not a single case; it is not difficult to foresee a time when natural materials could help light the cities of the future. Why should we care about city lighting? What’s wrong with current electrical city lighting anyway? Well, the problem that it causes is two-fold. First, of course, electrical lighting in most cities comes from non-renewable resources. According to the International Energy Agency, almost 20% of global electricity is consumed for lighting, which is responsible for high levels of carbon emissions. But there’s also the belief that electrical light itself is a form of pollution by destroying our view of the night sky. From the above reasons, then, it seems wise to investigate other approaches. The city of Glasgow is attempting to use intelligent street lighting to monitor how citizens interact with the urban landscape and minimize electrical consumption and thus emissions. This “Smart City approach” is seen by many as the way of the future, but some designers aren’t convinced. They are pioneering the altogether more original approach of using materials from the natural world in order to replace electrical light entirely. They believe that this new “technology” can one day completely replace microchips and digital systems as we find better ways of making use of the light-producing mechanisms (制) that already exist in the natural world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
