A
AI in Agriculture
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into agriculture is transforming traditional farming practices, offering innovative solutions to challenges like climate change, labor shortages, and food security. Here are key applications of AI in modern agriculture:
Precision Farming
AI-powered sensors and drones collect real-time data on soil moisture, nutrient levels, and crop health. Machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze the data to optimize water irrigation, fertilizer use, and pest control. For example, a farmer in California reduced water usage by 30% using AI-guided irrigation systems.
Crop Disease Detection
AI image recognition tools can identify plant diseases early by analyzing photos of leaves or fruits. A study by the University of Tokyo showed that AI systems achieved 98% accuracy in detecting tomato blight, far surpassing human capabilities.
Autonomous Farming Equipment
Self-driving tractors and harvesters equipped with AI navigate fields, plant seeds, and harvest crops with minimal human intervention. These machines use GPS and computer vision to avoid obstacles and ensure precise operations.
Yield Prediction
By processing historical data, weather patterns, and satellite imagery, AI models predict crop yields months in advance. This helps governments and organizations plan food distribution and prevent shortages. In India, AI-based predictions helped farmers increase wheat production by 15% in 2024.
Livestock Monitoring
Wearable AI devices track animal health, detecting illnesses or stress through changes in movement, temperature, or vocalizations. Dairy farms in the Netherlands reported a 20% drop in cattle mortality after adopting AI monitoring systems.
Despite its benefits, we must be alert to the challenges AI’s widespread adoption faces, such as high initial costs and the need for digital infrastructure in rural areas. However, as technology becomes more accessible, AI is poised (准备做) to play a vital role in sustainable agriculture.
36. What is the main purpose of AI in precision farming?
A. To automate farming operations and replace human labor.
B. To increase the overall agricultural crop yield directly.
C. To reduce water and fertilizer usage via data analysis.
D. To eliminate crop pests and related diseases completely.
37. How do AI tools help in crop disease detection?
A. By planting specific disease-resistant crop seeds.
B. By analyzing digital images of plants to identify diseases.
C. By accurately predicting future local weather patterns.
D. By developing new effective chemical pesticides rapidly.
38. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. AI yield forecasts ignore environmental factors like weather conditions.
B. Self-driving farm machinery uses location tracking and visual sensors.
C. Livestock wearable in the Netherlands raised cattle mortality by 20%.
D. Tomato blight detection by AI had lower accuracy than human assessments.
39. According to the last paragraph, what is essential for AI’s widespread adoption?
A. Addressing costs and digital infrastructure.
B. Government subsidies for large-scale farms.
C. Training farmers in traditional methods.
D. Reducing reliance on sustainable practices.
40. Which title best summarizes the passage?
A. Precision Agriculture: The Role of GPS
B. Digital Solutions for Animal Management
C. Challenges of Implementing AI in Agriculture
D. How AI Is Shaping the Future of Agriculture
B
In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
41. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
42. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic.
43. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing.
44. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
C
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
45. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
46. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
47. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling.
B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water.
D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
48. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods.
B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers.
D. Potential application of the findings
49. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To argue for replacing bottled water with boiled tap water.
B. To explain the experimental process of removing microplastics.
C. To propose a simple yet limited solution to microplastic pollution.
D. To introduce the arguments about the global spread of microplastics.
D
The call to “know yourself” has been there since ancient times, but our sense of self doesn’t always match what others perceive. Considering the stories we tell about ourselves can help us to change our minds for better.
For many years, psychologists saw identity as a combination of someone’s values, beliefs, goals and social roles. Then, in the 1980s, Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity, in which he proposes that, as we go through life, these core features are built in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.
Our life story is something that starts coming together in our teenage years, when we begin to organise our lives into chapters around key events or life changes, and begin to see ourselves as both the central character and, to a varying extent, the story’s author. People with more consistent stories tend to have a stronger sense of identity, and they feel their life has more meaning, direction and sense of purpose. Such people show greater overall life satisfaction, too.
Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes. He discovered that whether someone describes having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of a person’s mental health. Another key theme involves finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events. “People could talk about gaining knowledge or personal growth,” says Johnson. His research shows that this is often missing for people with mental health conditions. The good news is that there is evidence we can learn to change our own story.
Lisa Green, another researcher, sounds a few notes of caution (谨慎). For instance, hearing about the power of redemptive (拯救性的) stories, many people may feel forced to find a positive angle on horrible events. She says that Western culture already pushes people to look for the silver lining behind every cloud.
If you want to turn over a new leaf, though, one top tip is that it helps to choose a significant date that signals the start of a new “chapter”. Contrary to popular doubt, resolutions made on 1 January are more effective for this reason. So, whether your goal is saving money or getting fit, there is no better time to become the author of our own destiny (命运).
50. Which statement about personal identity is true according to the passage?
A. Childhood memories played the dominant role in shaping personal identity.
B. Psychologists originally viewed identity as constructed through life narratives.
C. External perceptions mattered more than self-reflection in identity formation.
D. Early theories defined identity through values, beliefs, goals and social roles.
51. What can be inferred about personal stories?
A. They are unrelated to health. B. They are relevant to happiness.
C. Thematic ones hold back change. D. Consistent ones lead to stress.
52. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The West tends to overvalue optimism.
B. New Year resolutions are well received.
C. Talking about gains from failure is negative.
D. Social roles fail to be highlighted.
53. What does the author mainly do in this passage?
A. Clarify a goal. B. Illustrate an approach.
C. Make a comparison. D. Analyse an event.
54. What is the author’s attitude toward the life story model of identity proposed by Bob Johnson?
A. Skeptical and dismissive. B. Enthusiastically supportive.
C. Objective with cautious approval. D. Ambiguous and uncertain.
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How personal stories raise doubts. B. How story-tellers are made.
C. How self-identity works. D. How timing affects personal identity.

阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In Sichuan Province long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.
Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist.
Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China.
Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew.
“I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I've never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent.
This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.”

AI in Agriculture
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into agriculture is transforming traditional farming practices, offering innovative solutions to challenges like climate change, labor shortages, and food security. Here are key applications of AI in modern agriculture:
Precision Farming
AI-powered sensors and drones collect real-time data on soil moisture, nutrient levels, and crop health. Machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze the data to optimize water irrigation, fertilizer use, and pest control. For example, a farmer in California reduced water usage by 30% using AI-guided irrigation systems.
Crop Disease Detection
AI image recognition tools can identify plant diseases early by analyzing photos of leaves or fruits. A study by the University of Tokyo showed that AI systems achieved 98% accuracy in detecting tomato blight, far surpassing human capabilities.
Autonomous Farming Equipment
Self-driving tractors and harvesters equipped with AI navigate fields, plant seeds, and harvest crops with minimal human intervention. These machines use GPS and computer vision to avoid obstacles and ensure precise operations.
Yield Prediction
By processing historical data, weather patterns, and satellite imagery, AI models predict crop yields months in advance. This helps governments and organizations plan food distribution and prevent shortages. In India, AI-based predictions helped farmers increase wheat production by 15% in 2024.
Livestock Monitoring
Wearable AI devices track animal health, detecting illnesses or stress through changes in movement, temperature, or vocalizations. Dairy farms in the Netherlands reported a 20% drop in cattle mortality after adopting AI monitoring systems.
Despite its benefits, we must be alert to the challenges AI’s widespread adoption faces, such as high initial costs and the need for digital infrastructure in rural areas. However, as technology becomes more accessible, AI is poised (准备做) to play a vital role in sustainable agriculture.
36. What is the main purpose of AI in precision farming?
A. To automate farming operations and replace human labor.
B. To increase the overall agricultural crop yield directly.
C. To reduce water and fertilizer usage via data analysis.
D. To eliminate crop pests and related diseases completely.
37. How do AI tools help in crop disease detection?
A. By planting specific disease-resistant crop seeds.
B. By analyzing digital images of plants to identify diseases.
C. By accurately predicting future local weather patterns.
D. By developing new effective chemical pesticides rapidly.
38. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. AI yield forecasts ignore environmental factors like weather conditions.
B. Self-driving farm machinery uses location tracking and visual sensors.
C. Livestock wearable in the Netherlands raised cattle mortality by 20%.
D. Tomato blight detection by AI had lower accuracy than human assessments.
39. According to the last paragraph, what is essential for AI’s widespread adoption?
A. Addressing costs and digital infrastructure.
B. Government subsidies for large-scale farms.
C. Training farmers in traditional methods.
D. Reducing reliance on sustainable practices.

B
In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
41. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
42. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic.
43. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing.
44. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
【答案】41. D 42. D 43. B 44. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师,通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. (去年,在我九年级的写作课上,我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲,还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次,我暗自琢磨,这些塑造了这些人物的学生,究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知,这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页,几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知,学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳,是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题,交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长,其中的人物拓宽了我的视野,也触动了我的心)”可推知,此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事,与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”,与B选项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,再根据文章最后一段中“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而,学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时,我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义:它能连接人与人,让我们换位思考,教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知,文章通过作者的教学经历,说明她在教导学生的同时,自己也领悟到写作的真正意义,这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选A。

Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
45. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
46. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
47. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling.
B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water.
D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
48. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods.
B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers.
D. Potential application of the findings
49. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To argue for replacing bottled water with boiled tap water.
B. To explain the experimental process of removing microplastics.
C. To propose a simple yet limited solution to microplastic pollution.
D. To introduce the arguments about the global spread of microplastics.

【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.(微塑料已经成为地球上一个常见的污染源——它们已经在深海和喜马拉雅山上定居,卡在火山岩中,填满了海鸟的胃,甚至落在了南极的新雪中。它们甚至出现在人体内)”可知,作者在第一段中通过列举微塑料在深海、喜马拉雅山、火山岩、海鸟胃以及南极新雪和人体内的出现,来呈现微塑料污染问题的普遍性。故选C项。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent.(至关重要的是,这个过程依赖于水中含有足够的碳酸钙来捕获微塑料。在这项研究中,煮沸含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水可以使塑料减少近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中,煮沸仅使塑料水平降低了25%)”可知,水的硬度,即水中碳酸钙的含量,决定了捕获水中微塑料的效果。故选A项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.(尽管如此,研究结果仍然显示了一条减少微塑料暴露的潜在途径——这项任务正变得越来越困难。科学家今年早些时候发现,即使是瓶装水,其中的微塑料含量也比原先认为的要高出10到1000倍)”可知,作者提到瓶装水中的微塑料含量远高于原先估计,是为了强调微塑料污染问题的严重性。故选B项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”(这项新的研究表明,煮沸自来水可能是一种限制摄入的工具。“他们展示了如何通过煮沸过程捕获微塑料的方法很好,”苏格兰格拉斯哥大学的环境工程师Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay告诉《新科学家》杂志,她没有参与这项研究。“我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,以便它们能够去除微塑料。”)”可知,Gauchotte-Lindsay认为新研究展示的煮沸过程捕获微塑料的方法很好,并建议考虑升级饮用水处理厂以去除微塑料,这是对研究结果潜在应用方向的建议。故选D项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其第二段中“Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it.(现在,新的研究表明,一个简单、廉价的方法可能显著降低自来水中的微塑料水平:煮沸并过滤它)”和第三段中“But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.(但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中,煮沸只降低了25%的塑料含量。此外,这项研究并没有包括所有类型的塑料。研究小组只关注了三种常见的类型——聚苯乙烯、聚乙烯和聚丙烯——他们没有研究以前在水中发现的其他化学物质,比如氯乙烯)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项研究发现通过煮沸并过滤自来水,可以显著减少水中的微塑料含量,不过该方法的效用受水的硬度影响,且研究未涵盖所有塑料类型,所以本文的目的是提出了一个简单但有限的解决微塑料污染方案。故选C项。

The call to “know yourself” has been there since ancient times, but our sense of self doesn’t always match what others perceive. Considering the stories we tell about ourselves can help us to change our minds for better.
For many years, psychologists saw identity as a combination of someone’s values, beliefs, goals and social roles. Then, in the 1980s, Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity, in which he proposes that, as we go through life, these core features are built in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.
Our life story is something that starts coming together in our teenage years, when we begin to organise our lives into chapters around key events or life changes, and begin to see ourselves as both the central character and, to a varying extent, the story’s author. People with more consistent stories tend to have a stronger sense of identity, and they feel their life has more meaning, direction and sense of purpose. Such people show greater overall life satisfaction, too.
Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes. He discovered that whether someone describes having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of a person’s mental health. Another key theme involves finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events. “People could talk about gaining knowledge or personal growth,” says Johnson. His research shows that this is often missing for people with mental health conditions. The good news is that there is evidence we can learn to change our own story.
Lisa Green, another researcher, sounds a few notes of caution (谨慎). For instance, hearing about the power of redemptive (拯救性的) stories, many people may feel forced to find a positive angle on horrible events. She says that Western culture already pushes people to look for the silver lining behind every cloud.
If you want to turn over a new leaf, though, one top tip is that it helps to choose a significant date that signals the start of a new “chapter”. Contrary to popular doubt, resolutions made on 1 January are more effective for this reason. So, whether your goal is saving money or getting fit, there is no better time to become the author of our own destiny (命运).
50 Which statement about personal identity is true according to the passage?
A. Childhood memories played the dominant role in shaping personal identity.
B. Psychologists originally viewed identity as constructed through life narratives.
C. External perceptions mattered more than self-reflection in identity formation.
D. Early theories defined identity through values, beliefs, goals and social roles.
51. What can be inferred about personal stories?
A. They are unrelated to health. B. They are relevant to happiness.
C. Thematic ones hold back change. D. Consistent ones lead to stress.
52. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The West tends to overvalue optimism.
B. New Year resolutions are well received.
C. Talking about gains from failure is negative.
D. Social roles fail to be highlighted.
53. What does the author mainly do in this passage?
A. Clarify a goal. B. Illustrate an approach.

In Sichuan Province, long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.
Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist.
Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China.
Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew.
“I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I've never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent.
This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.”

【答案】 Coping Strategies for My Senior Three
As a soon-to-be senior three student at Yaohua High School, I’m well aware that this year will be challenging yet full of opportunities. Here are my strategies to cope with senior three life.
For improving academic performance, I’ll make a detailed study plan. I’ll allocate specific time slots for each subject every day. For instance, I’ll spend more time on weak subjects like math. I plan to do extra exercise and summarize problem-solving methods regularly. Also, I’ll actively participate in class discussions to gain different perspectives and clarify doubts promptly.
To stay fit physically and mentally, I’ll employ the following approaches to keeping my spirits up. No matter how busy I am, I’ll go to bed before 11 o’clock and get up at 6 o’clock to keep a regular routine. Moreover, I’ll set aside 30 minutes each day for physical activities, such as jogging or playing badminton. When feeling stressed, I’ll talk to my friends or parents, or write down my feelings in a journal. Reading some inspiring books during breaks is also a good way to relax my mind.
With these strategies, I believe I can make the most of senior three and achieve my dream of entering a good university.
