第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Producing and consuming clothing is a major source of global CO₂ emissions. The fashion industry is estimated to account for 8% to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions — more than all international flights and sea shipping combined. From growing cotton to dyeing fabrics, every step in the clothing supply chain leaves a carbon footprint. Much of the impact comes from energy-intensive industrial processes. Here’s a breakdown of the emissions in 2018 across different stages of clothing production.
Making clothes more sustainable isn’t just about cutting emissions — it’s also about choosing the right materials. Fabrics need to be not only comfortable and affordable, but also long-lasting and low-impact. Each material has its own challenges and environmental cost. While no perfect solution exists yet, a range of alternatives are emerging.
COTTON-Organic cotton
Grown without harmful chemicals, organic cotton uses far less water and energy, helping reduce pollution and protect the soil.
POLYESTER (聚酯纤维)-Recycled polyester
Developed through eco-efficient production, recycled polyester lowers reliance on non-renewable fuels.
WOOL-Responsible wool
Improved land use and animal care reduce methane emissions from sheep farming and cut wool’s environmental cost.
LEATHER-Plant-based leather
Made from mushrooms or pineapple leaves, plant leather offers cruelty-free alternatives to traditional leather.
RAYON (人造丝)-Certified sustainable rayon
Sourced from managed forests, certified rayon helps prevent deforestation and protects biodiversity.
This shift toward sustainable fashion is global, and the extent of transformation needed is “unlike anything we’ve seen before,” says Stella McCartney, a pioneer in ethical fashion design. It’s estimated that fashion consumption could grow by 60% by 2030, putting even more pressure on resources. Still, experts believe that circular design and material innovation can drive real change, keeping pace with the sweeping trend of energy conservation and emission reduction. “The future of fashion is restorative and regenerative by design,” says McCartney.
1. Which stage released the greatest amount of greenhouse gas in 2018?
A. Fibre production. B. Yarn preparation. C. Fabric production. D. Dyeing and finishing.
2. What’s special about organic cotton?
A. Reduced water consumption. B. Chemical dependence.
C. Soil damage. D. Energy waste.
3. What does McCartney stress regarding the future of fashion?
A. It is to last and adapt. B. It is to reduce resource usage.
C. It is to meet different people’s needs. D. It is to encourage conscious consumption.
B
In 1911, US explorer and academic Hiram Bingham arrived in South America for what would become his greatest achievement: exploring the remote hinterland west of Cusco, the old Inca capital in Peru’s Andes. His goal was to find the remains of Vitcos, the last Inca capital.
Cusco sits on a 3,000-metre-high plateau, and Bingham planned to descend along the Urubamba River valley — its circuitous path leads to the Amazon, passing dramatic canyons and mountains. When he and his team set off in late July, they had an advantage: a new track blasted through the canyon, used to carry rubber up from the jungle by mules. Earlier travellers had always left the river at Ollantaytambo, taking a mountain pass to rejoin it lower down — so they never reached Machu Picchu’s area.
By 24 July, they had descended for days. The morning was dull and damp. Bingham spent time arranging mules for the next trek stage. His companions refused to join him up a nearby hill to see ruins a local farmer, Melchor Arteaga, had mentioned the night before. Bingham himself felt unkeen, later writing in Lost City of the Incas that he climbed with no expectation of finding anything.
In his book, he described the ascent (登高) vividly: he noted the constant risk of deadly snakes(though he saw none), but that unease faded quickly as he felt growing excitement — first at finding terraces, a mausoleum, monumental staircases, and finally Machu Picchu’s grand ceremonial buildings. “It seemed like an unbelievable dream, one so vivid and so overwhelming that I forgot to breathe, and the sight held me enthralled, rooted to the spot, unable to tear my eyes away,” he wrote. We should remember, however, that Lost City of the Incas is a work of sight, not written until1948, many years after his journey.
4. What gives Bingham’s team an edge over earlier travelers?
A. Advanced navigation equipment B. Use of a new rubber- transport trail
C. Company of experienced local guides D. Better ability to handle bad weather
5. What can we infer about Bingham before climbing the hill?
A. He had high hopes for the ruins. B. He was forced by his companions.
C. He felt it a waste of time. D. He feared the risk of snakes.
6 What does the underlined word “enthralled” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Puzzled B. Fascinated C. Pleased D. Frightened
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The historical background of the Inca empire
B. The Urubamba valley’s geographical features
C. Bingham’s discovery of the Machu Picchu ruins
D. A comparison of Bingham’s team and earlier travelers
C
As cities expand at an unprecedented pace, green spaces — parks, community gardens, and tree-lined streets — are disappearing silently, squeezed by endless skyscrapers and busy roads. The once-common sight of children playing on lawns or elders chatting under trees is becoming rare, replaced by the hum of traffic and the shadow of high-rises.
A survey by the World Urban Parks Association shows that 72% of city dwellers rarely engage with nature in their daily lives: they rush between offices and homes, seeing more concrete than grass. Experts link this disconnection to rising cases of anxiety and social isolation, noting that even short walks in green areas can ease stress — a simple comfort modern urban life often lacks.
For decades, urban planners often treated greenery as a luxury rather than a necessity, prioritizing economic growth over ecological balance. Yet visionaries like Japanese landscape designer Isamu Noguchi fought to change this. In the 1970s, he designed a series of rooftop gardens in Tokyo, turning empty building tops into lush oases and arguing that “nature is not a decoration but the soul of a city.”
His belief sparked movements worldwide. Copenhagen’s “Green Lungs” project, for example, transformed abandoned industrial sites into public parks, showing how nature can revitalize dull urban areas and bring communities closer. Unfortunately, many cities still fail to learn: in fast-growing Asian megacities, new skyscrapers frequently replace old parks, and residents now regard a walk in the park as a rare treat.
Ecologists caution that this trend brings severe consequences — worsened air quality reduced pollinator populations that harm crop growth, and a decline in citizens’ happiness. We invest heavily in urban development, but seldom calculate the true price of losing green spaces. Can a city thrive without birdsong outside windows? Noguchi’s words remain urgent: cities without nature are cities without a heart — we must reset priorities and let greenery grow with urban progress.
8. What issue is emphasized in the first paragraph?
A. Insufficient urban expansion. B. Rising urban population.
C. Decreasing park construction. D. Lost connection to nature.
9. What did Isamu Noguchi believe about nature?
A. It is essential to urban life. B. It should be separate from cities.
C. It is optional in cities. D. It distracts from city development.
10. What can be inferred about Asian megacities?
A. They value green spaces highly. B. Nature is being pushed out.
C. Residents dislike urban parks. D. Pollinators thrive there.
11. Which fits as the text’s title?
A. Cities Without Soul B. Parks: A Luxury C. Urban Growth Harms D. Nature: City’s Heart
D
Loneliness has quietly become a defining issue of modern society, permeating (弥漫在) workplaces, neighborhoods, and even families. A nationwide survey by the Social Research Institute shows that 42% of urban adults report feeling lonely at least three days a week, a figure that has doubled in the past decade. This isolation isn’t just an emotional burden; studies link it to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and even physical illnesses like heart disease.
Now, psychologists propose a surprisingly simple remedy: meaningful small talk. In a study published in Journal of Social Psychology, researchers observed that people who engaged in brief, genuine conversations with strangers, such as chatting with a barista or a neighbor, experienced a 20% reduction in loneliness scores over four weeks. “Small talk is often dismissed as insignificant, but it’s the building block of social connection,” explains Dr. Emma Wilson, the study’s lead researcher.
Crucially, the effectiveness of small talk depends on sincerity, not just frequency. The study found that forced or insincere conversations, like awkward pleasantries, barely alleviated loneliness, while authentic exchanges — even about routine topics like the weather or a shared hobby — created a sense of belonging. Additionally, the research focused on face-to-face interactions and did not explore the impact of online small talk, such as social media comments.
Still, the findings shed light on a low-cost way to combat loneliness, a problem that’s growing as societies become more individualistic. Even in densely populated cities, many people report feeling “alone in a crowd,” with social interactions reduced to superficial nods or digital exchanges.
Experts warn that chronic loneliness poses risks comparable to smoking or obesity, yet solutions remain underemphasized. The new study highlights how everyday interactions can be transformative. “We tend to overcomplicate loneliness solutions,” notes Dr. Wilson. “But sometimes, a simple ‘hello’ and a genuine listen are all it takes to bridge the gap between isolation and connection.”
12. How does the author introduce the issue in Paragraph 1?
A. By citing data. B. By telling stories.
C. By comparing concepts. D. By introducing experts.
13. What is key to effective small talk?
A Topic complexity. B. Conversation length. C. Sincerity of interaction. D. Number of strangers.
14. What’s the problem of modern social interactions?
A. They are mostly online. B. They lack depth.
C. They reduce loneliness. D. They focus on hobbies.
15. What does Dr. Wilson suggest about combating loneliness?
A. Avoiding digital interactions. B. Studying complex methods.
C. Simplifying solutions. D. Ignoring minor conversations.

Earlier this month, OpenAI revealed a new version in training mode that is “good at creative writing.” Though its release date is unclear, as a longtime freshman composition instructor, I’m already aware of the problem of AI-assisted cheating in writing classes. ____16____ After all, students have been involuntarily exposed to an overwhelming amount of promotion around AI, and have seen news that makes false claims about how powerful AI tools are.
Having written two memoirs (回忆录), I know the challenges and pleasures of this work, and I want my students to experience those challenges, too. The act of writing a memoir is not just about saying “Look at me”. ____17____ This process makes the author more fully alive.
____18____ Using a machine that gathers information online and creates a fake version of you is not just cheating; it degrades our memories and humanity. Yet it’s not the students who concern me most, but a culture that undervalues writing and reading so much that some students think skipping them is a reasonable choice.
The only thing under my control as a teacher is what I do in my classroom. ____19____ Whether they write best-sellers or just scribble in journals, doing the work with their full selves is what truly matters.
Writing can be a way to preserve ourselves and even a form of resistance. ____20____
A. I’ll teach students to write honestly.
B. I can even sympathize, to an extent.
C. This may feel like a battle already lost.
D. Rather, it is about defining who you are.
E. Outsourcing your life story to AI is disheartening.
F. AI’s fake stories are upsetting, but maybe it’s just new storytelling
G. That fighting spirit is our greatest strength and exists only within us.

When Sarah first arrived in the Caribbean for an infrastructure project, she was met with local skepticism. “People saw us as outsiders with no real care for their lives,” she recalled.

As stories emerged, the community’s ____28____ attitude softened. Residents offered suggestions, and teens helped compile historical records. The final construction plan ____29____ a memorial wall with quotes from those stories — an idea born from listening.

Sarah now ____31____ her time between regions, teaching others to use storytelling. “It’s about letting locals see their ____32____ in the plans.” she says. She’s even ____33____ a handbook for the removal of cultural barriers.
This experience taught Sarah that genuine connection demands courage to ____34____ and patience to nurture. “Every story is a brick,” she tells students. “Lay enough, and you’ll build an unbreakable ____35____.” Today, walking along the harbor, she sees proof that understanding can bridge the deepest divides.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost every childhood memory I have is centred on food. Telling stories around a crowded table at holiday dinners, the smell of roasting vegetables, the sensation (感受) of heat coming from the kitchen, all picture a familiar feeling of love and comfort.
My favourite memory of all is of my grandparents making and baking bread together. To this day, I have never tasted bread that is as delicious as theirs. No other loaf has ever been made with that kind of powerful, unconditional love.
When our son Brian, one of seventh graders, began to refuse usual communication with me, I felt desperate. How I missed those lovely old days when he couldn’t wait to tell me his stories in kindergarten the moment I arrived home without getting changed! And there were also times when he brought loads of storybooks to me and demanded to be told all the stories before going to bed. But I didn’t know since when everything changed. There was hardly any sharing about his daily school life with friends or any trouble about his schoolwork. Most of the time, his bedroom door was closed. The cold silence between us seemed to warn me that love between us began to fade.
At that time, like most mothers, I couldn’t focus on work and couldn’t sleep well. Why did things go off track so much? Was it because my work took away most of my energy that family love was taken for granted? Was it because my only precious spare time went too much to my two-year-old baby daughter that Brian’s need for my company was ignored? The more I reflected, the more I felt myself to blame and it was my responsibility to find a way out.
One day, as my eyes landed onto the bread on the kitchen table, I was reminded of those sweet childhood memories, “Could food help us make a change?” I wondered.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With an uneasy feeling, I decided to try.

In 1911, US explorer and academic Hiram Bingham arrived in South America for what would become his greatest achievement: exploring the remote hinterland west of Cusco, the old Inca capital in Peru’s Andes. His goal was to find the remains of Vitcos, the last Inca capital.
Cusco sits on a 3,000-metre-high plateau, and Bingham planned to descend along the Urubamba River valley — its circuitous path leads to the Amazon, passing dramatic canyons and mountains. When he and his team set off in late July, they had an advantage: a new track blasted through the canyon, used to carry rubber up from the jungle by mules. Earlier travellers had always left the river at Ollantaytambo, taking a mountain pass to rejoin it lower down — so they never reached Machu Picchu’s area.
By 24 July, they had descended for days. The morning was dull and damp. Bingham spent time arranging mules for the next trek stage. His companions refused to join him up a nearby hill to see ruins a local farmer, Melchor Arteaga, had mentioned the night before. Bingham himself felt unkeen, later writing in Lost City of the Incas that he climbed with no expectation of finding anything.
In his book, he described the ascent (登高) vividly: he noted the constant risk of deadly snakes(though he saw none), but that unease faded quickly as he felt growing excitement — first at finding terraces, a mausoleum, monumental staircases, and finally Machu Picchu’s grand ceremonial buildings. “It seemed like an unbelievable dream, one so vivid and so overwhelming that I forgot to breathe, and the sight held me enthralled, rooted to the spot, unable to tear my eyes away,” he wrote. We should remember, however, that Lost City of the Incas is a work of sight, not written until1948, many years after his journey.
4. What gives Bingham’s team an edge over earlier travelers?
A. Advanced navigation equipment B. Use of a new rubber- transport trail
C. Company of experienced local guides D. Better ability to handle bad weather
5. What can we infer about Bingham before climbing the hill?
A. He had high hopes for the ruins. B. He was forced by his companions.
C. He felt it a waste of time. D. He feared the risk of snakes.
6. What does the underlined word “enthralled” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Puzzled B. Fascinated C. Pleased D. Frightened
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The historical background of the Inca empire
B. The Urubamba valley’s geographical features
C. Bingham’s discovery of the Machu Picchu ruins
D. A comparison of Bingham’s team and earlier travelers
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C

As cities expand at an unprecedented pace, green spaces — parks, community gardens, and tree-lined streets — are disappearing silently, squeezed by endless skyscrapers and busy roads. The once-common sight of children playing on lawns or elders chatting under trees is becoming rare, replaced by the hum of traffic and the shadow of high-rises.
A survey by the World Urban Parks Association shows that 72% of city dwellers rarely engage with nature in their daily lives: they rush between offices and homes, seeing more concrete than grass. Experts link this disconnection to rising cases of anxiety and social isolation, noting that even short walks in green areas can ease stress — a simple comfort modern urban life often lacks.
For decades, urban planners often treated greenery as a luxury rather than a necessity, prioritizing economic growth over ecological balance. Yet visionaries like Japanese landscape designer Isamu Noguchi fought to change this. In the 1970s, he designed a series of rooftop gardens in Tokyo, turning empty building tops into lush oases and arguing that “nature is not a decoration but the soul of a city.”
His belief sparked movements worldwide. Copenhagen’s “Green Lungs” project, for example, transformed abandoned industrial sites into public parks, showing how nature can revitalize dull urban areas and bring communities closer. Unfortunately, many cities still fail to learn: in fast-growing Asian megacities, new skyscrapers frequently replace old parks, and residents now regard a walk in the park as a rare treat.
Ecologists caution that this trend brings severe consequences — worsened air quality, reduced pollinator populations that harm crop growth, and a decline in citizens’ happiness. We invest heavily in urban development, but seldom calculate the true price of losing green spaces. Can a city thrive without birdsong outside windows? Noguchi’s words remain urgent: cities without nature are cities without a heart — we must reset priorities and let greenery grow with urban progress.
8. What issue is emphasized in the first paragraph?
A. Insufficient urban expansion. B. Rising urban population.
C. Decreasing park construction. D. Lost connection to nature.
9. What did Isamu Noguchi believe about nature?
A. It is essential to urban life. B. It should be separate from cities.
C. It is optional in cities. D. It distracts from city development.
10. What can be inferred about Asian megacities?
A. They value green spaces highly. B. Nature is being pushed out.
C. Residents dislike urban parks. D. Pollinators thrive there.
11. Which fits as the text’s title?
A. Cities Without Soul B. Parks: A Luxury C. Urban Growth Harms D. Nature: City’s Heart
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了随着城市的快速扩张,绿色空间逐渐消失,人们与自然的联系日益疏远的问题,强调了自然在城市生活中的重要性。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Unfortunately, many cities still fail to learn: in fast-growing Asian megacities, new skyscrapers frequently replace old parks, and residents now regard a walk in the park as a rare treat.(不幸的是,许多城市仍然没有吸取教训:在快速增长的亚洲特大城市中,新的摩天大楼经常取代旧的公园,居民们现在把在公园散步视为一种难得的享受)”可知,在亚洲特大城市中,新的摩天大楼取代了旧的公园,自然正在被挤出城市。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“Ecologists caution that this trend brings severe consequences — worsened air quality, reduced pollinator populations that harm crop growth, and a decline in citizens’ happiness. We invest heavily in urban development, but seldom calculate the true price of losing green spaces. Can a city thrive without birdsong outside windows? Noguchi’s words remain urgent: cities without nature are cities without a heart — we must reset priorities and let greenery grow with urban progress.(生态学家警告说,这种趋势会带来严重的后果——空气质量恶化、传粉昆虫数量减少影响作物生长、公民幸福感下降。我们在城市发展上投入巨资,但很少计算失去绿色空间的真正代价。没有窗外的鸟鸣,城市能繁荣吗?野口勇的话仍然紧迫:没有自然的城市是没有心脏的城市——我们必须重新确定优先事项,让绿色与城市进步共同发展)”可知,文章主要讨论了城市中绿色空间的重要性,以及失去绿色空间可能带来的严重后果,强调了自然是城市的灵魂,是城市不可或缺的一部分。D项“Nature: City’ s Heart(自然:城市的心脏)”概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

Loneliness has quietly become a defining issue of modern society, permeating (弥漫在) workplaces, neighborhoods, and even families. A nationwide survey by the Social Research Institute shows that 42% of urban adults report feeling lonely at least three days a week, a figure that has doubled in the past decade. This isolation isn’t just an emotional burden; studies link it to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and even physical illnesses like heart disease.
Now, psychologists propose a surprisingly simple remedy: meaningful small talk. In a study published in Journal of Social Psychology, researchers observed that people who engaged in brief, genuine conversations with strangers, such as chatting with a barista or a neighbor, experienced a 20% reduction in loneliness scores over four weeks. “Small talk is often dismissed as insignificant, but it’s the building block of social connection,” explains Dr. Emma Wilson, the study’s lead researcher.
Crucially, the effectiveness of small talk depends on sincerity, not just frequency. The study found that forced or insincere conversations, like awkward pleasantries, barely alleviated loneliness, while authentic exchanges — even about routine topics like the weather or a shared hobby — created a sense of belonging. Additionally, the research focused on face-to-face interactions and did not explore the impact of online small talk, such as social media comments.
Still, the findings shed light on a low-cost way to combat loneliness, a problem that’s growing as societies become more individualistic. Even in densely populated cities, many people report feeling “alone in a crowd,” with social interactions reduced to superficial nods or digital exchanges.
Experts warn that chronic loneliness poses risks comparable to smoking or obesity, yet solutions remain underemphasized. The new study highlights how everyday interactions can be transformative. “We tend to overcomplicate loneliness solutions,” notes Dr. Wilson. “But sometimes, a simple ‘hello’ and a genuine listen are all it takes to bridge the gap between isolation and connection.”
12. How does the author introduce the issue in Paragraph 1?
A. By citing data. B. By telling stories.
C. By comparing concepts. D. By introducing experts.
13. What is key to effective small talk?
A. Topic complexity. B. Conversation length. C. Sincerity of interaction. D. Number of strangers.
14. What’s the problem of modern social interactions?
A. They are mostly online. B. They lack depth.
C. They reduce loneliness. D. They focus on hobbies.
15. What does Dr. Wilson suggest about combating loneliness?
A. Avoiding digital interactions. B. Studying complex methods.
C. Simplifying solutions. D. Ignoring minor conversations.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost every childhood memory I have is centred on food. Telling stories around a crowded table at holiday dinners, the smell of roasting vegetables, the sensation (感受) of heat coming from the kitchen, all picture a familiar feeling of love and comfort.
My favourite memory of all is of my grandparents making and baking bread together. To this day, I have never tasted bread that is as delicious as theirs. No other loaf has ever been made with that kind of powerful, unconditional love.
When our son Brian, one of seventh graders, began to refuse usual communication with me, I felt desperate. How I missed those lovely old days when he couldn’t wait to tell me his stories in kindergarten the moment I arrived home without getting changed! And there were also times when he brought loads of storybooks to me and demanded to be told all the stories before going to bed. But I didn’t know since when everything changed. There was hardly any sharing about his daily school life with friends or any trouble about his schoolwork. Most of the time, his bedroom door was closed. The cold silence between us seemed to warn me that love between us began to fade.
At that time, like most mothers, I couldn’t focus on work and couldn’t sleep well. Why did things go off track so much? Was it because my work took away most of my energy that family love was taken for granted? Was it because my only precious spare time went too much to my two-year-old baby daughter that Brian’s need for my company was ignored? The more I reflected, the more I felt myself to blame and it was my responsibility to find a way out.
One day, as my eyes landed onto the bread on the kitchen table, I was reminded of those sweet childhood memories, “Could food help us make a change?” I wondered.

More than that, one weekend evening, Brian offered to help me in the kitchen.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With an uneasy feeling, I decided to try. Just then it occurred to me that several days before Brian ever mentioned that he loved the fried rice that I cooked. After a short visit to the market, I began preparing the cooking material. Although it seemed years that I last cooked fried rice, it was still a piece of cake. when he got home from school, Brian was greeted by delicious fried rice on the table and a note reading: from your Mum who love you forever. He was surprised and gave me a hug saying:Thank you,Mum. Although Brian still had his door closed everyday, I was greeted by more broad smile every time he came back from school.
More than that, one weekend evening, Brian offered to help me in the kitchen. When we were preparing his favorite fried rice together, Brian came to me and looked at me in the eyes saying: “Mum, Although I made you unhappy, I love you in my deep heart just as I love fried rice”. I cried that night for nearly half an hour because I got by my Brian back again.
