We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference. Her Trees Save Lives Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was 12 when her family’s home flooded. Indonesia, her island nation, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters. Adeline learned that mangrove trees play a key role in flood protection and rallied classmates to plant 200 trees during a school break. They started a group called Sahabat Alam or Friends of Nature, which works to conserve the region’s biodiversity and combat climate change. Today. Adeline attends university, studying how businesses can help the environment. Teens’ Two-Fold Invention EPS—expanded polystyrene foam—is the white, lightweight stuff used to make things like takeout food containers, foam egg cartons, and packing “peanuts”. But it takes up a lot of space and is difficult to recycle. EPS breaks into small pieces as it floats down waterways into oceans, harming wildlife along the way. Eighth-graders Julia Bray, Luke Clay, and Ashton Cofer looked at EPS’s chemical makeup and saw that it was mostly carbon. That sparked an idea. Could they turn it into activated carbon, a material that filters toxins from water? After 50 hours of experiments, including one that accidentally set the family grill fire, they succeeded! Solar for Her School When Claire Vlases of Montana was in seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults who set to work raising the rest. They asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One even donated half the cost! After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now supply one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs. 1. What do the three groups of teenagers have in common? A. They are Earth-helping heroes. B. They are from island countries. C. They are high school students. D. They are keen on experiments. 2. How much did one of the charitable organizations donate for solar panels? A. $25,000. B. $50,000. C. $62,500. D. $125,000. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To give models for colorful school activities. B. To explore the ways to deal with plastic pollution. C. To inspire people to act for environmental problems. D. To display the amazing power of effective cooperation. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍一些学生形成组织为保护地球做出的事迹。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Now, Earth Day is celebrated around the world.

It felt like navigating a chaotic jungle, unsure where to reach next. But I couldn’t avoid the jungle: High school English classes. I often sat for hours staring at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences. My teachers’ red-inked feedback, criticizing my essays for lack of organization and transitions, left me frustrated. How could I know what was good if there was no objectively right answer? Maybe I wasn’t meant for writing, and that was OK. I was drawn to the orderly world of math and science, where objective truth could be found. In college, I joined a research lab. I spent weeks setting up a test for a design, only to be disappointed by the results. I felt down, but I knew in the orderly world of math and science, a solution must exist — all I had to do was find it. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers. After a year of trial and error, we finally succeeded. I was overjoyed until my professor told me to write the research paper, which felt like being thrown back into the jungle I had avoided. I knew that to become an academic, I needed to write papers, but my awful track record with writing scared me. Panicked, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. I carefully outlined a paper and asked him for feedback, only to receive it back covered in red marks. The graduate student explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. It just requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly I realized that writing, like research, is a process of revision and improvement. With help, I was making my way through the “jungle”, and surprisingly, I was having fun. From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I could never have imagined during my early struggles with English classes. But I’ve come around through trial and error. 4. Which can best describe the author’s experience with writing in high school? A. He felt it worth exploring but time-wasting. B. He struggled with organizing his thoughts. C. He cared little about his teachers’ feedback. D. He usually left the pages empty for lack of ideas. 5. Compared with writing, how did the author face the challenge in his research? A. He adopted a problem-solving mindset despite unexpected results. B. He had a sense of disappointment and uncertainty about the final solution. C. He was initially uninterested in research but found joy after success. D. He felt being thrown back into the jungle in the research process. 6. What can be inferred about writing from paragraph 3? A. It involves constant improvement like conducting research. B. It isn’t a necessary step on the path to an academic. C. It acts as a minor part of the overall research. D. It’s a hard process to improve even with others’ help. 7. Which of the following might be the best title? A. Jungle of Writing: a Peaceful Writer’s Paradise B. Struggles with English Classes and Research Paper C. From Hating to Loving: My Writing Journey D. Predictable Journey to a Successful Researcher 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者曾厌恶写作，高中受困于思路零散、反馈负面，大学科研中仍逃避写论文，后经研究生点拨，悟到写作如科研需反复修改，终从厌恶转为喜爱写作。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But I couldn’t avoid the jungle: High school English classes. I often sat for, hours staring at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences. My teachers’ red-inked feedback, criticizing my essays for lack of organization and transitions, left me frustrated.(但我无法避开那段时光：高中时期的英语课。我常常一坐就是好几个小时，盯着空白的纸页，试图将零散的思绪整理成流畅的句子。老师们用红笔做的批注，指出我的作文缺乏条理和过渡，这让我感到十分沮丧)”可知，作者在高中时期写作难以整理自己的思路。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I spent weeks setting up a test for a design, only to be disappointed by the results. I felt down, but I knew in the orderly world of math and science, a solution must exist — all I had to do was find it. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers. After a year of trial and error, we finally succeeded. I was overjoyed until my professor told me to write the research paper, which felt like being thrown back into the jungle I had avoided.(我花了好几周的时间为一项设计进行测试，结果却令我大失所望。我心情低落，但我知道在数学和科学的有序世界里，一定存在解决方案——我只需要找到它就行。我不断尝试新的设计，并利用测试结果与一组研究人员一起集思广益。经过一年的反复试验，我们终于成功了。我欣喜若狂，直到我的教授让我撰写研究报告，这感觉就像把我又带回了我曾试图避开的那片丛林之中)”可知，作者在研究过程中以解决问题的思维态度面对那些出乎意料的结果。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The graduate student explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. It just requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly I realized that writing, like research, is a process of revision and improvement. With help, I was making my way through the “jungle”, and surprisingly, I was having fun.(这位研究生解释说，红色并不意味着我是个糟糕的作家。这其实只是意味着需要对你的作品进行修改，通常需要修改好几次。突然间，我意识到写作就像研究一样，是一个不断修改和完善的过程。在帮助下，我正在走出这“知识的丛林”，而且令人惊讶的是，我还乐在其中)”可知，写作并非通往学术之路的必要步骤。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I could never have imagined during my early struggles with English classes. But I’ve come around through trial and error.(从那以后，写作便成了我从事研究工作时最喜爱的部分，如今依然如此。在早期与英语课程的磨砺中，我从未能想象出这样的未来。但通过不断尝试和摸索，我最终走上了正轨)”以及文章讲述了作者曾厌恶写作，高中受困于思路零散、反馈负面，大学科研中仍逃避写论文，后经研究生点拨，悟到写作如科研需反复修改，终从厌恶转为喜爱写作可知，C选项“从厌恶到热爱：我的写作历程”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around? Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too? A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape (声景) of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans. Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home? Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families. Now, what if we told you there is already a solution? Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day. Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against. 8. How does anthropogenic ocean noise affect clown fish? A. It improves their reproduction rates. B. It promotes their better development. C. It hinders them from finding their home. D. It causes them to give up their migration in the ocean. 9. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. leads to B. decides on C. holds back D. results from 10. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4? A. The application of relevant laws B. The use of noise control technology. C. The restriction of human activities. D. The attention of local policymakers. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The beauty of marine ecosystems. B. The urgent need for ocean conservation. C. The impact of climate change on ocean noise. D. The harmful effects of human-generated ocean noise. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人为海洋噪音对海洋生物造成的影响，以及目前存在的解决方案和对未来政策制定者的呼吁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“There is only one drawback —the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home?（只有一个缺点——鱼不能看到珊瑚礁，但它们可以听到它。唯一的问题是，如果他们听不到，他们还能回家吗？）”可知，人为的海洋噪音会阻碍小丑鱼找到回家的路。故选 C 项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.（然而，海洋生物只有在能够逃脱噪音污染的情况下才能适应它。这只会导致物种偏离传统繁殖区域或与家人分离的进一步复杂化。）”可知，海洋生物会因为噪音污染而偏离传统繁殖区域或与家人分离，这是噪音污染带来的结果。由此可推知，划线单词“renders”的意思是“导致”，与选项 A 意思接近。故选 A 项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective.（正如《时代》杂志所解释的那样，从风力驱动的船只到降低噪音的螺旋桨、漂浮的风力涡轮机和抑制建筑噪音的“气泡窗帘”，这些解决方案已经有了，而且在某些情况下，还很划算。）”可知，已经有一些噪音控制技术可以用来减少人为的海洋噪音。故选 B 项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans.（人为的海洋噪音，也被称为水下噪音污染，由于在我们的海洋内部和邻近海域的“人为”活动，已经对海洋生物造成了巨大的影响。）”指出了人为的海洋噪音对海洋生物的影响。文章第二段至第四段通过讲述小丑鱼的例子和海洋生物对噪音的适应性，进一步说明了噪音污染对海洋生物的危害。文章最后一段提出了一些已经存在的解决方案。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是人为产生的海洋噪音的有害影响。故选 D 项。 D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以给出准确的地震预测，介绍了其工作原理以及意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).(经过训练后，人工智能通过探测隐藏在地球低频隆隆声中的早期地震指标来提供预测)”可知，人工智能分析地球上的背景声音预测地震事件。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”(该项目标志着人工智能在预测地震事件方面的探索取得了重大突破。德克萨斯地震网的高级研究员Alexandros Savvaidis说：“地震发生在没有预警的情况下，经常在眨眼之间发生。你能影响的只有你的准备程度。达到70%的预测率是一项相当大的成就，可以显著限制地震的影响，减少经济负担和生命损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。”)”可知，亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯想在第3段说明发展人工智能预测的意义。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(他们的下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，德克萨斯大学的TexNet运营着一个由300个地震站组成的网络，拥有超过六年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些研究的理想地点)”可知，接下来的研究重点是在不同地点进行测试。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities.(人工智能(AI)的进步表明，准确的地震预测可能是可以实现的，从而对传统智慧产生了质疑，即这种成就超出了我们的能力)”以及最后一段““That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.(“这可能还有很长的路要走，但许多像这样的进步，综合起来，是推动科学向前发展的动力，”该局局长斯科特·廷克总结道)”可推知，地震预测技术具有开创性和前景。故选D。 第二节 七选五（满分12.5分） How to Have Good Table Manners Having table manners can leave a great impression on your fellow guests, and it will help everyone feel happy and comfortable as they enjoy their meal. ____16____.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者与盲人丈夫Adrian的生活片段，以及Adrian为实现铁人三项梦想学习游泳、夫妻共同克服困难的故事。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我不知道他是盲人，因为他和领跑者一起从我身边飞奔而过。A. jumped跳跃；B. rode骑行；C. flew飞奔，疾驰；D. drove驾驶。根据前文“we trained with the same marathon running club”可知，场景是马拉松训练，应是“跑步”相关动作，“flew past”形象体现跑速快，符合语境。故选C项。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：过了几周，我才安心地问他能看见什么（如果能看见的话）。A. pleased高兴的；B. comfortable安心的，自在的；C. awkward尴尬的；D. anxious焦虑的。根据上文“I had no idea he was blind”可知，刚开始作者不知对方是盲人，直接问视力问题可能不礼貌，“过了几周”说明双方逐渐熟悉，作者才“安心地”提问。故选B项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我不仅对他的跑步成绩印象深刻，他还拥有能照亮整个房间的灿烂笑容。A. influenced影响；B. defeated击败；C. confused困惑；D. impressed使印象深刻。根据下文“his running times”（跑步成绩）和“beautiful smile”可知，作者对他的表现和特质持积极态度，“impressed”符合“留下好印象”的语境。故选D项。 【24题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们的第一次正式约会是去爬太平洋海岸公路上著名的沙丘。A. official正式的；B. easy容易的；C. vital重要的；D. complete完整的。根据“date”（约会）和下文“Eight years into our marriage”（结婚八年后）可知，此处指两人确立关系后的“正式”约会，为后续婚姻铺垫。故选A项。 25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：结婚八年后，Adrian决定学习游泳，这样他就能实现参加铁人三项比赛的梦想。A. run跑步；B. swim游泳；C. bike骑自行车；D. diet节食。根据下文“swimming”等关键词可知，他要学习的是“游泳”。故选B项。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：Adrian的第一堂游泳课很成功，但他教练的热情很快就消退了。A. mess混乱，一团糟；B. relief缓解；C. success成功；D. disaster灾难。根据“but his coach’s enthusiasm was short-lived”可知，与下文的教练的热情很快就消失形成转折关系，所以第一堂课很成功。故选C项。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他的下一位教练很容易妥协，建议我丈夫放弃游泳。A. abandon放弃；B. keep保持；C. risk冒险；D. appreciate欣赏。根据上文“His next instructor was easy to give in”可知，第二个教练丈夫放弃游泳。故选A项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：由于我高中时是竞技游泳运动员，所以我有信心能教他。A. doubtful怀疑的；B. fortunate幸运的；C. grateful感激的；D. confident自信的。根据“being a competitive swimmer in high school”可知，作者有游泳基础，因此“有信心”教丈夫，“confident”符合逻辑。故选D项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：很快我就意识到游泳对我丈夫来说是多么艰难，即使有牵引绳。A. benefit益处；B. struggle难事，吃力的事；C. regret遗憾；D. burden负担。结合Adrian是盲人及后文“His progress at each lesson was slow”可知，游泳对他而言“很难”，“struggle”体现过程的艰辛，符合语境。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他每堂课的进步虽然缓慢，但很稳定。A. slim微小的；B. hard艰难的；C. steady稳定的；D. alarming令人担忧的。根据“slow but”可知，前后为转折关系，“slow”（缓慢）对应“steady”（稳定），体现“虽慢但持续进步”，符合积极趋势。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：将近一个月后，他尝试不系绳游泳，但经常游错方向。A. gradually逐渐地；B. rarely罕见地；C. cautiously谨慎地；D. frequently频繁地。结合Adrian是盲人及“going in the wrong direction”（游错方向）可知，无系绳时他难以判断方向，经常游错方向。“frequently”（频繁地）符合客观情况，体现学习难度。故选D项。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：每次我在汹涌的海浪声中提高嗓门，他都觉得我的指令让他很沮丧。A. frustrated沮丧的；B. worried担忧的；C. encouraged受鼓舞的；D. surprised惊讶的。根据上文“but...going in the wrong direction. Every time I raised my voice over the roaring”提到游错方向，作者提高嗓门，对Adrian而言，既游不好又听到大声指令，容易“沮丧”，符合消极情境。故选A项。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：幸运的是，现在我们都能笑对这些事了，而且Adrian游得甚至比我还快。当我不得不提高嗓门时，他对我也更有耐心了。A. disappointed失望的；B. careful小心的；C. patient耐心的；D. popular受欢迎的。根据上文“these days we laugh”可知，两人关系更融洽，Adrian对作者提高嗓门的行为变得“有耐心”，“patient”符合积极转变的语境。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：相应地，我也不再说“你游错方向了！”，这话会让他难过。A. in fact事实上；B. in turn相应地，反过来；C. in short总之；D. in case以防。前文提到Adrian变得更有耐心，后文讲作者改变说话方式，两者是“一方变化，另一方相应变化”的关系，“in turn”符合逻辑。故选B项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：相反，我会说“这边来”，他点点头，他听到后就会游回我身边。A. looks看；B. shouts大喊；C. bows鞠躬；D. nods点头。根据下文“swims back toward me”可知，他应是通过“点头”表示听到并理解指令，“nods”符合盲人的回应方式。故选D项。 第二节（共10个小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 It is a really big challenge for Adam to go from junior high school to senior high school.

I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me. “You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet. As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few days later, I signed up for the race. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A few days later, I signed up for the race. On the race day, I stood nervously at the starting line, surrounded by faster runners. As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me. About halfway through the course, one of the fastest runners tripped and fell. Without thinking, I stopped running and helped him get back on his feet. “Keep going, don’t worry about me,” he said, but I stayed with him. We crossed the finish line together, much slower than everyone else, but we finished side by side. After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. He smiled when he saw me and said, “What you did today was more important than winning.” At first, I didn’t understand. I didn’t win the race, after all. But he explained, “You helped someone, and that’s something far greater than crossing the finish line first.” At that moment, I realized he was right. The race wasn’t just about speed; it was about determination and compassion. That day, I learned that real success comes from the heart, not from a gold medal. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在小学时不擅长运动，常因速度慢和身体弱而觉得自己是失败者，但体育老师哈里斯先生通过鼓励和引导改变了作者的看法。哈里斯先生告诉作者坚持和不放弃比获胜更重要，并建议作者每天练习。作者开始每天放学后跑步，逐渐提高了耐力。在学校的年度赛跑日，尽管作者仍不够快，但在老师的鼓励下，作者明白了比赛的意义不在于拿第一，而在于展现坚持不放弃的精神，这才是真正的成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我报名参加了比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者报名参加比赛后的经历。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后，我去看哈里斯先生。”可知，第二段可描写作者在比赛后与哈里斯先生的交流，以及从这次交流中获得的深刻领悟。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——其他人超过作者——有人摔倒——帮助他站起来——冲过终点线——哈里斯先生微笑——哈里斯先生解释——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加速：speed/accelerate ②绊倒：trip/stumble ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/tensely ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me.

We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference. Her Trees Save Lives Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was 12 when her family’s home flooded. Indonesia, her island nation, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters. Adeline learned that mangrove trees play a key role in flood protection and rallied classmates to plant 200 trees during a school break. They started a group called Sahabat Alam or Friends of Nature, which works to conserve the region’s biodiversity and combat climate change. Today. Adeline attends university, studying how businesses can help the environment. Teens’ Two-Fold Invention EPS—expanded polystyrene foam—is the white, lightweight stuff used to make things like takeout food containers, foam egg cartons, and packing “peanuts”. But it takes up a lot of space and is difficult to recycle. EPS breaks into small pieces as it floats down waterways into oceans, harming wildlife along the way. Eighth-graders Julia Bray, Luke Clay, and Ashton Cofer looked at EPS’s chemical makeup and saw that it was mostly carbon. That sparked an idea. Could they turn it into activated carbon, a material that filters toxins from water? After 50 hours of experiments, including one that accidentally set the family grill fire, they succeeded! Solar for Her School When Claire Vlases of Montana was in seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults who set to work raising the rest. They asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One even donated half the cost! After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now supply one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs. 1. What do the three groups of teenagers have in common? A. They are Earth-helping heroes. B. They are from island countries. C. They are high school students. D. They are keen on experiments. 2. How much did one of the charitable organizations donate for solar panels? A. $25,000. B. $50,000. C. $62,500. D. $125,000. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To give models for colorful school activities. B. To explore the ways to deal with plastic pollution. C. To inspire people to act for environmental problems. D. To display the amazing power of effective cooperation. B I hated writing growing up. It felt like navigating a chaotic jungle, unsure where to reach next. But I couldn’t avoid the jungle: High school English classes. I often sat for hours staring at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences. My teachers’ red-inked feedback, criticizing my essays for lack of organization and transitions, left me frustrated. How could I know what was good if there was no objectively right answer? Maybe I wasn’t meant for writing, and that was OK. I was drawn to the orderly world of math and science, where objective truth could be found. In college, I joined a research lab. I spent weeks setting up a test for a design, only to be disappointed by the results. I felt down, but I knew in the orderly world of math and science, a solution must exist — all I had to do was find it. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers. After a year of trial and error, we finally succeeded. I was overjoyed until my professor told me to write the research paper, which felt like being thrown back into the jungle I had avoided. I knew that to become an academic, I needed to write papers, but my awful track record with writing scared me. Panicked, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. I carefully outlined a paper and asked him for feedback, only to receive it back covered in red marks. The graduate student explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. It just requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly I realized that writing, like research, is a process of revision and improvement. With help, I was making my way through the “jungle”, and surprisingly, I was having fun. From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I could never have imagined during my early struggles with English classes. But I’ve come around through trial and error. 4. Which can best describe the author’s experience with writing in high school? A. He felt it worth exploring but time-wasting. B. He struggled with organizing his thoughts. C. He cared little about his teachers’ feedback. D. He usually left the pages empty for lack of ideas. 5. Compared with writing, how did the author face the challenge in his research? A. He adopted a problem-solving mindset despite unexpected results. B. He had a sense of disappointment and uncertainty about the final solution. C. He was initially uninterested in research but found joy after success. D. He felt being thrown back into the jungle in the research process. 6. What can be inferred about writing from paragraph 3? A. It involves constant improvement like conducting research. B. It isn’t a necessary step on the path to an academic. C. It acts as a minor part of the overall research. D. It’s a hard process to improve even with others’ help. 7. Which of the following might be the best title? A. Jungle of Writing: a Peaceful Writer’s Paradise B. Struggles with English Classes and Research Paper C. From Hating to Loving: My Writing Journey D. Predictable Journey to a Successful Researcher C Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around? Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too? A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape (声景) of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans. Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home? Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families. Now, what if we told you there is already a solution? Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day. Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make.

D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 第二节 七选五（满分12.5分） How to Have Good Table Manners Having table manners can leave a great impression on your fellow guests, and it will help everyone feel happy and comfortable as they enjoy their meal. ____16____.

I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me. “You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet. As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few days later, I signed up for the race. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
