A trip to Mars is an ultimate packing challenge. Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking and washing. They’ll also need water to protect against rays. These rays can pass right through metal spaceship walls and damage living cells. That’s a lot of water. And launching items into space is expensive. It costs about $33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars.
But a layer of water placed around the ship can block the rays. Inside a spaceship, the walls have pockets like a big honeycomb, inside which water, dried food and algae (海藻) make hard walls and great radiation protection. And what if the same water could be reused again and again? Flynn, an engineer at NASA, calls his packed-pocket ideal Water Walls. He hopes it will help make a manned mission to Mars a reality very soon.
New Water for Old
Recycling pee (尿) into drinking water is nothing new. To get clean water again, you just need to filter (过滤) out the extra stuff. As water recycling expert Sherwin Gormly explains, “Filter bags in the Water Walls will take your pee, digest it, and give you back clean water and dry solids.”
Water that gets into the air when astronauts breathe and sweat will be recaptured by salt-filled bags. As damp air moves past, the salt absorbs the water to be recycled again for drinking.
A Breath of Fresh Algae
“Plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft, so we use algae,” Flynn says. Algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by poop (粪便) and sunlight, taking in carbon dioxide to make their food and giving off oxygen. This onboard recycling system has many advantages. It’s tiny, efficient and won’t break down.
8. What can Water Walls be used for?
A. Storing food and saving space. B. Keeping out of rays and recycling water.
C. Preventing astronauts from being attacked. D. Maintaining the environmental balance on Mars.
9. What can we know about New Water for Old?
A. Pee is purified for drinking. B. Sweat is gathered for cleaning.
C. Waste water is disinfected with salt. D. Damp air is filtered by filter bags.
10. Why is algae applied in a spaceship on Mars?
A. It can be an air cleaner. B. It can break down poop.
C. It can be made into food. D. It can absorb various gases.
11. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The challenge of sending water to Mars.
B. The ecological cycle in a spaceship on Mars.
C. The explorations made by humans on Mars.
D. The approaches to turning Mars’ rubbish into treasure.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家发现在发往火星的宇宙飞船上,通过生态循环的方式,如循环利用水资源和养殖海藻,将有助于很快实现载人火星任务。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But a layer of water placed around the ship can block the rays. Inside a spaceship, the walls have pockets like a big honeycomb, inside which water, dried food and algae (海藻) make hard walls and great radiation protection. And what if the same water could be reused again and again?(船周围的一层水可以阻挡光线。在宇宙飞船内部,墙壁上有像大蜂巢一样的口袋,里面的水、干燥的食物和藻类构成了坚硬的墙壁和强大的辐射防护。如果同样的水可以反复使用呢?)”可知,水墙既能抵御辐射,又能循环水。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Recycling pee (尿) into drinking water is nothing new. To get clean water again, you just need to filter (过滤)out the extra stuff.(把尿液回收成饮用水并不是什么新鲜事。为了再次获得干净的水,你只需要过滤掉多余的东西。)”可知,尿液被净化后可饮用。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by poop (粪便) and sunlight, taking in carbon dioxide to make their food and giving off oxygen.(藻类也会生活在墙壁上的袋子里,以粪便和阳光为食,吸收二氧化碳制成食物,并释放氧气。)”可知,藻类可以吸收二氧化碳并释放氧气,起到净化空气的作用。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A trip to Mars is an ultimate packing challenge.(去火星旅行是一项终极的打包挑战。)”及全文可知,科学家发现在发往火星的宇宙飞船上,通过生态循环的方式,如循环利用水资源和养殖海藻,将有助于很快实现载人火星任务。故选B。
D
Combine the non-profit fields with the tourism industry and you will get voluntourism — a multibillion-dollar industry linked with “doing good” while travelling. Essentially, voluntourists travel to another country to serve the local community. Though well-intentioned, these efforts are increasingly criticized.
Voluntourism has attracted many who would jump at the opportunity to profit from this enterprise. This has caused calls for tighter controls about exposing vulnerable (脆弱的) communities to unskilled labour and greedy operators make profits from foreigners. For example, some children in Cambodia are not orphans (孤儿) in the traditional sense but are removed from their families to fill places in “orphans’ home” at risk of abuse and violence. Donations from the goodwill of foreigners are unfortunately turned into a profit for the owners.
Another major criticism of voluntourism is that many volunteers exercise too much authority or become enthusiastic when providing their services. They take part in service projects such as construction and painting but lack the skills to build houses and may ultimately cost the local community more effort and money to rebuild the unstable structures. Furthermore, many community service projects are not meant to be long-term and amateur workers simply do not have the ability to ease poverty or provide adequate support for vulnerable children. These are all complex issues shaping people’s lives and cannot be solved by eager voluntourists in the short term.
Does this mean we should not help poor communities overseas? No. Voluntourism can be meaningful by making proper preparations and being monitored. A good way to get started is to contact local organizations and ask how to help. The best help might not be physical labour, but rather how we can support local efforts and voices in the long term.
12. What is the original intention of voluntourism?
A. To enhance tourism. B. To serve the public.
C. To publicize cultures. D. To provide assistance.
13. What can be inferred from the example in Paragraph 2?
A. Those abused violently tend to be sympathetic.
B. The burden of the children’s parents can be eased.
C. Voluntourists are tricked into making more giveaways.
D. More profits contribute to the development of local economy.
14. Why are voluntourists not recognized?
A. They are ignorant of local practices.
B. They are careless in fulfilling their tasks.
C. They are more than willing but lack the capacity.
D. They are eager for quick success and instant benefits.
15. How should voluntourists change themselves?
A. Be well-behaved in every aspect. B. Join forces with local communities.
C. Be more ambitious about the goal. D. Offer good strategies to local authorities.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文讲述虽然公益旅游的初衷很好,但公益旅游者的行为遭人诟病。公益旅游者只有同当地的组织合作,才能真正地帮上忙。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Combine the non-profit fields with the tourism industry and you will get voluntourism — a multibillion-dollar industry linked with “doing good” while travelling. Essentially, voluntourists travel to another country to serve the local community.(将非营利领域与旅游业结合起来,你就会得到公益旅游——一个数十亿美元的产业,与“在旅行中做好事”联系在一起。从本质上讲,志愿者到另一个国家为当地社区服务)”可知,公益旅游的最初目的是提供帮助。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, some children in Cambodia are not orphans (孤儿) in the traditional sense but are removed from their families to fill places in “orphans’ home” at risk of abuse and violence. Donations from the goodwill of foreigners are unfortunately turned into a profit for the owners.(例如,柬埔寨的一些儿童并不是传统意义上的孤儿,而是被从家庭中带走,安置在“孤儿之家”,面临遭受虐待和暴力的风险。外国人善意的捐赠不幸变成了所有者的利润)”可知,经营者弄虚作假,欺骗公益旅游者捐赠更多东西,从其中获利。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Another major criticism of volunteerism is that many volunteers exercise too much authority or become enthusiastic when providing their services.(对公益旅游的另一个主要批评是,许多志愿者在提供服务时行使了太多的权力或变得过于热情)”和最后两句“Furthermore, many community service projects are not meant to be long-term and amateur workers simply do not have the ability to ease poverty or provide adequate support for vulnerable children. These are all complex issues shaping people’s lives and cannot be solved by eager voluntourists in the short term.(此外,许多社区服务项目并不意味着是长期的,业余工作者根本没有能力缓解贫困或为弱势儿童提供足够的支持。这些都是影响人们生活的复杂问题,短期内无法通过热心的公益旅游者来解决)”可知,公益旅游者不被认可是因为他们虽积极热情,但是缺乏能力。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A good way to get started is to contact local organizations and ask how to help. The best help might not be physical labour, but rather how we can support local efforts and voices in the long term.(通过做好适当的准备并接受监管,公益旅游是有意义的。一个好的开始方式是联系当地组织并询问如何提供帮助。最好的帮助可能不是体力劳动,而是我们如何对当地提供长期的支持和发声)”可知,公益旅游者通过与当地社区联合来改变自己。故选B。

Another important point is that passionate people are usually those that are thrust (推) into positions of leadership.

They become great.(大多数人不是生来就伟大的。他们变得伟大。)”说明伟大不是天生的。F选项“Similarly, not everyone is the enthusiast falling in love with their work.(同样,不是每个人都是热爱自己工作的热情人士。)”与上文逻辑一致,指出不是每个人都天生热爱工作,符合语境。且下文“However, do not despair. There are ways to become more passionate.(然而,不要绝望。有办法让自己变得更有热情 。)”中的“However”表示转折,说明虽然不是每个人都天生热爱工作,但有办法变得更有热情,F选项起到了承上启下的作用。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了长城的历史、建造过程、功能及其文化意义。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:长城横跨中国北方一万三千多英里,是人类历史上最辉煌的建筑成就,经受住了时间的考验。根据空前定冠词the和空后名词短语architectural achievement可知,空处需用形容词最高级,表示最辉煌的建筑成就。故填most splendid。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:这座古老的奇迹是为了持久而建造的,它穿越了山脉和平原,在地理和文明上都留下了印记。空处需要不定式作目的状语,表示“为了持久而建”。故填to last。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。根据空前geography and可知,空处需用名词与geography并列,表示在地理和文明上都留下了印记。civilize的名词形式为civilization“文明”。故填civilization。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:回首往事,长城是在春秋时期形成的,当时各诸侯国修建了屏障来抵御敌人。根据句意可知,空处需用介词against表示“抵御、反对”的意思。故填against。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:工人们卷起袖子,把石头搬上陡峭的山坡,他们的劳动为和平铺平了道路。空处需用非谓语动词作状语,carry与主语workers之间是主动关系,所以空处需用现在分词作伴随状语。故填carrying。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:随着时间推移,长城使自身适应了从泥土到砖块的转变,而这(转变)正是中国得以存续的关键所在。adjust oneself to...是一个常用的固定短语,意思是“使自己适应……”,所以此处用反身代词itself作宾语。故填itself。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。空处需要连词when,while或者as引导时间状语从句。当时间状语从句的主语和主句一致,且含有be动词时,可以省略从句的主语和be动词,所以此处为时间状语从句的省略。故填when/while/as。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,作为联合国教科文组织遗址,长城吸引了无数来自国内外的游客,架起了过去和现在之间的桥梁。根据时间状语Up to now可知,空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态,表示从过去到现在一直持续的动作或状态,主语为the Wall,所以空处助动词需用has。故填has drawn。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:当我们面对不确定性时,让我们接过那些将愿景变为现实的建造者的火炬。根据空前动词face可知,空处需用名词作宾语,此处表示面对的时不确定性,所以用uncertainty。该名词既可以为不可数名词,也可以为可数名词,作为可数名词时,用复数形式表示泛指。故填uncertainty/uncertainties。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们的遗产依然存在,这证明了团结和意志力可以移山填海。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,对前面整个句子进行解释说明,且关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family’s crest (徽章) is a design of a fish carved on a wooden door. The design of the fish wasn’t made so well that one could only identify it as a fish. The crest had quite an unusual origin.
My grandpa lived with my father and his three brothers. During the early 20th century, wars were fought and the family could only live a hard life.
One night, my father got up to urinate (小便). He saw a shadowy figure slip into the kitchen, so he shouted and immediately blocked the kitchen door. All his brothers got up, grabbed oil lamps and carried big sticks, carefully searching the kitchen.
At that time, food equaled the chance to live, so all of them said they would disable the thief, if not kill him, yet they found nothing. My grandpa came over. He asked all his sons to go back to bed. After they had left, my grandpa went to the water vat (缸) and knocked on its lid (盖子), saying: “Come out, they’ re gone!” From the vat rose a man, wet through and grasping a bag of rice with one hand.
Looking at the thief, my grandpa sighed: “Well, off you go!” The thief looked at my grandpa in surprise, hardly believing my grandpa would let him go so easily. He climbed out of the vat. My grandpa slipped a string of copper coins into his hand, saying, “Take the rice and money with you. Start a small business with this money. Don’t do such immoral things any more!” The thief tried to say something, but his eyes turned red. He bowed his head and walked toward the door.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The thief turned around suddenly, bowed to my grandpa and then left.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After receiving dozens of free fish, my grandpa worried the frequent gifts of fish would hurt the thief’s small business.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The thief turned around suddenly, bowed to my grandpa and then left. One morning a while later, my grandpa pushed open the door and found a fresh fish weighing more than one kilogram hanging on the door knocker. At first, he was a bit confused, but soon he realized it was probably the thief who had sent it to them. That man had probably started to sell fish for a living. From then on, fresh fish often appeared on our door knocker, which helped my family improve our diet. My father and his brothers were surprised, so my grandpa gently told them the story of the fish.
After receiving dozens of free fish, my grandpa worried the frequent gifts of fish would hurt the thief’s small business. So, during the following nights, my grandpa watched the door and waited for the gift giver. On the third night, he finally saw a man. However, it was not the thief, but the thief’s son. The thief, from his deathbed, had ordered his son to keep sending fish to my home. Grandpa asked the young man not to send fish any more. Out of respect for the thief’s final wish, my grandpa asked him to carve a fish on our wooden door as a good substitute. That well-preserved design, as time passed, naturally became the crest of my family.

A “knife-throwing girl” has attracted global audiences with her remarkable videos on platforms like Tik Tok, showcasing her precision in throwing knives while spinning (旋转).
The 13-year-old girl, Zhang Keyi, comes from Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Her parents took her to Qingdao, Shandong province, in 2023 to seek guidance from Ju Zhenfei, a knife-throwing master in China.
Since then, Zhang has devoted countless hours to refining her technique to perfection. She has made a world record of 53 knives hitting the target at a distance of 6 meters. Zhang’s father explained, “She is expert at in close-range events that test stability and quick reaction, but lacks an advantage in long-distance throws. So, that is what she needs to break through.” Zhang’s distinctive blend of martial arts (武术) mastery and dance skills has set her apart as a rising star. Her mastery of complex techniques, especially her unique skill “Spiral 12-Consecutive Throws (螺旋12连投)”, is a proof to her exceptional talent.
Despite encountering setbacks and injuries during practice, Zhang’s passion for traditional martial arts have remained firm.
To raise awareness and appreciation for ancient art, Zhang and her father have made use of social media platforms to share her training videos with a global audience, receiving more than 130,000 fans. “I thirst to compete abroad, displaying the charm of Chinese martial arts to the world and developing a deeper appreciation for our rich martial arts heritage,” she said.
“Knife throwing is a lesser-known traditional martial arts because of misconceptions about its safety and practicality like the improvement of strength and focus,” Zhang’s father explained. “Knife throwing is seen as a competitive sport abroad, but I envision it as an art.” he added.

A trip to Mars is an ultimate packing challenge. Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking and washing. They’ll also need water to protect against rays. These rays can pass right through metal spaceship walls and damage living cells. That’s a lot of water. And launching items into space is expensive. It costs about $33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars.
But a layer of water placed around the ship can block the rays. Inside a spaceship, the walls have pockets like a big honeycomb, inside which water, dried food and algae (海藻) make hard walls and great radiation protection. And what if the same water could be reused again and again? Flynn, an engineer at NASA, calls his packed-pocket ideal Water Walls. He hopes it will help make a manned mission to Mars a reality very soon.
New Water for Old
Recycling pee (尿) into drinking water is nothing new. To get clean water again, you just need to filter (过滤) out the extra stuff. As water recycling expert Sherwin Gormly explains, “Filter bags in the Water Walls will take your pee, digest it, and give you back clean water and dry solids.”
Water that gets into the air when astronauts breathe and sweat will be recaptured by salt-filled bags. As damp air moves past, the salt absorbs the water to be recycled again for drinking.
A Breath of Fresh Algae
“Plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft, so we use algae,” Flynn says. Algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by poop (粪便) and sunlight, taking in carbon dioxide to make their food and giving off oxygen. This onboard recycling system has many advantages. It’s tiny, efficient and won’t break down.
8. What can Water Walls be used for?
A. Storing food and saving space. B. Keeping out of rays and recycling water.
C. Preventing astronauts from being attacked. D. Maintaining the environmental balance on Mars.
9. What can we know about New Water for Old?
A. Pee is purified for drinking. B. Sweat is gathered for cleaning.
C. Waste water is disinfected with salt. D. Damp air is filtered by filter bags.
10. Why is algae applied in a spaceship on Mars?
A. It can be an air cleaner. B. It can break down poop.
C. It can be made into food. D. It can absorb various gases.
11. What’s the text mainly about?

Combine the non-profit fields with the tourism industry and you will get voluntourism — a multibillion-dollar industry linked with “doing good” while travelling. Essentially, voluntourists travel to another country to serve the local community. Though well-intentioned, these efforts are increasingly criticized.
Voluntourism has attracted many who would jump at the opportunity to profit from this enterprise. This has caused calls for tighter controls about exposing vulnerable (脆弱的) communities to unskilled labour and greedy operators make profits from foreigners. For example, some children in Cambodia are not orphans (孤儿) in the traditional sense but are removed from their families to fill places in “orphans’ home” at risk of abuse and violence. Donations from the goodwill of foreigners are unfortunately turned into a profit for the owners.
Another major criticism of voluntourism is that many volunteers exercise too much authority or become enthusiastic when providing their services. They take part in service projects such as construction and painting but lack the skills to build houses and may ultimately cost the local community more effort and money to rebuild the unstable structures. Furthermore, many community service projects are not meant to be long-term and amateur workers simply do not have the ability to ease poverty or provide adequate support for vulnerable children. These are all complex issues shaping people’s lives and cannot be solved by eager voluntourists in the short term.
Does this mean we should not help poor communities overseas? No. Voluntourism can be meaningful by making proper preparations and being monitored. A good way to get started is to contact local organizations and ask how to help. The best help might not be physical labour, but rather how we can support local efforts and voices in the long term.
12. What is the original intention of voluntourism?
A. To enhance tourism. B. To serve the public.
C. To publicize cultures. D. To provide assistance.
13. What can be inferred from the example in Paragraph 2?
A. Those abused violently tend to be sympathetic.
B. The burden of the children’s parents can be eased.
C. Voluntourists are tricked into making more giveaways.
D. More profits contribute to the development of local economy.
14. Why are voluntourists not recognized?
A. They are ignorant of local practices.
B. They are careless in fulfilling their tasks.
C. They are more than willing but lack the capacity.
D. They are eager for quick success and instant benefits.
15. How should voluntourists change themselves?
A. Be well-behaved in every aspect. B. Join forces with local communities.
C. Be more ambitious about the goal. D. Offer good strategies to local authorities.

My family’s crest (徽章) is a design of a fish carved on a wooden door. The design of the fish wasn’t made so well that one could only identify it as a fish. The crest had quite an unusual origin.
My grandpa lived with my father and his three brothers. During the early 20th century, wars were fought and the family could only live a hard life.
One night, my father got up to urinate (小便). He saw a shadowy figure slip into the kitchen, so he shouted and immediately blocked the kitchen door. All his brothers got up, grabbed oil lamps and carried big sticks, carefully searching the kitchen.
At that time, food equaled the chance to live, so all of them said they would disable the thief, if not kill him, yet they found nothing. My grandpa came over. He asked all his sons to go back to bed. After they had left, my grandpa went to the water vat (缸) and knocked on its lid (盖子), saying: “Come out, they’ re gone!” From the vat rose a man, wet through and grasping a bag of rice with one hand.
Looking at the thief, my grandpa sighed: “Well, off you go!” The thief looked at my grandpa in surprise, hardly believing my grandpa would let him go so easily. He climbed out of the vat. My grandpa slipped a string of copper coins into his hand, saying, “Take the rice and money with you. Start a small business with this money. Don’t do such immoral things any more!” The thief tried to say something, but his eyes turned red. He bowed his head and walked toward the door.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The thief turned around suddenly, bowed to my grandpa and then left.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After receiving dozens of free fish, my grandpa worried the frequent gifts of fish would hurt the thief’s small business.
