Here are four of the best farm vacations where you can connect with nature and learn about farm life. Stone and Thistle Farm East Meredith, New York Farm stay activities on Stone and Thistle Farm include grooming (刷洗) horses, milking goats, collecting eggs and holding baby chicks. Additional hands-on field and kitchen workshops are educational and family-friendly experiences focused on farming or cooking experiences (these are separate from the farm vacation and must be booked in groups of five or more). BlissWood Bed and Breakfast Ranch Cat Spring, Texas Situated in a 350-acre area, BlissWood Bed and Breakfast Ranch is a working farm. Horseback riding, ranch games, fishing and feeding tours with farm animals are all part of the guest experiences. Another highlight is the safari experience, a guided tour where you can get close to wildlife animals. Tabula Rasa Farms Carlton Oregon Set among the rolling hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Tabula Rasa Farms lets families spread out and enjoy life on a farm. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom farmhouse comes with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer. In summer, there’s a swimming hole behind the house along with many hiking trails. A short walk away is the working farm, with animals such as cows, pigs and ducks. Homecoming Ranch Nelsonville, Ohio Farm stays at Homecoming Ranch honor both the livestock (家畜) and the land by sharing the working ranch’s sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices with guests. The 98-acre farm is home to Scottish Highland goats and chickens.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合一家人前往度假的农场。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Stone and Thistle Farm部分“Additional hands-on field and kitchen workshops are educational and family-friendly experiences focused on farming or cooking experiences (these are separate from the farm vacation and must be booked in groups of five or more).(额外的现场和厨房实践工作坊是教育和家庭友好的体验，侧重于农业或烹饪体验（这些与农场度假分开，必须以五人或五人以上的团体预订）)”可知，要在Stone and Thistle Farm体验烹饪，游客需要预订。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tabula Rasa Farms部分Carlton, Oregon以及“In summer, there’s a swimming hole behind the house along with many hiking trails.(夏天，房子后面有一个游泳洞穴，还有许多远足小路)”可知，能够吸引游泳爱好者的农场位于俄勒冈州的卡尔顿。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Homecoming Ranch部分“Farm stays at Homecoming Ranch honor both the livestock (家畜) and the land by sharing the working ranch’s sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices with guests.(Homecoming Ranch的农场住宿通过与客人分享工作牧场的可持续和再生农业实践来纪念牲畜和土地)”可知，游客在Homecoming Ranch可以了解再生农业实践。故选D。 B Ever the innovator to entertain its customers, this Masschetusettes cafe recently came up with a novel attraction for its customers. “Walk in and give us your BEST dance moves for 5 seconds,” reads a sign displayed on the entrance door. If you do so, you can get a cup of coffee for free. The unexpected dance venue? Coffee Milano which serves the most delicious coffee, drinks, breakfast and lunch all day long, seven days a week. The response to Coffee Milano’s promotion was electric, with multiple customers eager to show off their best dance moves. “It was fun, energetic and smiley,” says Joshua Rashid, the cafe owner of the small family-owned business. “Funny dances can really improve customers’ mood.” It’s no secret that acting happy, moving and music can get you feeling better, even if it’s a bit unnatural at first. Brainly, a knowledge-sharing community, discusses the so-called “Facial feedback effect”. This is documented in studies showing that forcing a smile can still boost mood and happiness levels. This is likely because when people smile, their brains release something that helps to reduce stress. On November 23, 2024, a video of the dancing customers became a hit online, amassing an astonishing 7.6 million views online since it was posted. “We just thought it was going to be a small thing for the people that come in every day,” admits Oliver Svensen, social media director at Coffee Milano. She says the huge success of the campaign is due to the vicarious (间接感受到的) pleasure of seeing people feeling happy and expressing themselves, rather than the free drink alone. “I am still processing this. I didn’t realize the power of the Internet,” says Rashid. “More customers are coming in and dancing.” He plans to make this joyful event a monthly fixture. “It was amazing and fun. The customers kept asking when the next one would be!” he says. 4. The sign at the entrance can be replaced by “______”. A. Free coffee is just a dance away! B. Who will be the best dancer? C. Smile for a cup of free coffee! D. Would you like to drink coffee? 5. What is the function of paragraph 4? A. To offer some advice. B. To support a claim. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To doubt a common belief. 6. What does Oliver Svensen mention about the campaign? A. The social purposes of launching it. B. The efforts to boost it on social media. C. The factors contributing to its success. D. The practical approaches to expanding it. 7. What can be known about Rashid? A. He is astonished at the popularity of the campaign. B. He plans to come up with more similar joyful events. C. He initially had little confidence in the taste of coffee. D. He first got the idea from a discussion on the Internet. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Coffee Milano通过让顾客跳舞换取免费咖啡的活动，意外在网络上走红，带来了大量关注和快乐。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““Walk in and give us your BEST dance moves for 5 seconds,” reads a sign displayed on the entrance door. If you do so, you can get a cup of coffee for free.(“走进来，给我们你最好的舞蹈5秒钟”，入口门上的一块牌子上写着。如果你这样做，你可以免费得到一杯咖啡)”可推断，如果跳舞5秒钟，就可以得到免费的咖啡，故A项“Free coffee is just a dance away!(跳舞即可获得免费咖啡)”可以替换入口处的标语。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Funny dances can really improve customers’ mood.(有趣的舞蹈真的可以改善顾客的情绪)”及第四段“It’s no secret that acting happy, moving and music can get you feeling better, even if it’s a bit unnatural at first. Brainly, a knowledge-sharing community, discusses the so-called “Facial feedback effect”. This is documented in studies showing that forcing a smile can still boost mood and happiness levels. This is likely because when people smile, their brains release something that helps to reduce stress.(表现开心、运动和听音乐能让人感觉更好不是秘密，即便一开始这样做会有点不自然。知识分享社区Brainly讨论了所谓的“面部反馈效应”。相关研究记录表明，强颜欢笑依然能够提升情绪和幸福感。这很可能是因为当人们微笑时，他们的大脑会释放出某种有助于减轻压力的物质)”可知，第四段是通过理论和研究来支持第三段中有趣的舞蹈能改善情绪这一观点，故其功能是支持一个主张。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She says the huge success of the campaign is due to the vicarious pleasure of seeing people feeling happy and expressing themselves, rather than the free drink alone.(Oliver Svensen 说活动的巨大成功是因为看到人们开心和自我表达所带来的间接愉悦感，而不仅仅是免费饮品)”可知，Oliver Svensen谈及了这个活动成功的原因。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I am still processing this. I didn’t realize the power of the Internet,” says Rashid. “More customers are coming in and dancing.”(“我还在消化这一切。我之前并没有意识到互联网的力量，”Rashid说。“越来越多的顾客进来跳舞”)”及““It was amazing and fun. The customers kept asking when the next one would be!” he says.(他说：“这太不可思议了，而且很有趣。顾客们一直追问下一次活动是什么时候！”)”可推断，Rashid对活动的受欢迎程度感到惊讶。故选A项。 C Playgrounds have been made significantly safer. There are soft surfaces to play on and all the dangerous play equipment like tall metal slides where children jumped on and off at high speeds have been replaced by much safer plastic swings and climbing structures. Has removing the risk also removed the fun and the challenge? In Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, local officials believe so. That’s why they want to replace boring playgrounds with spaces that allow kids to play with water, climb, sword-fight with sticks, wrestle and fall. “The inspiration is that children are hardly moving, which is a huge problem,” says Rob Hofland, one of the officials. “They are attracted to a more engaging screen, sitting still for hours. We are learning about how unhealthy it is that the Dutch — the sitting champions of Europe — are so inactive. Things need to change and it starts young.” Taking risks is children’s nature. Babies start to pull themselves up on furniture even before they can stand. Older children are introduced to a large range of activities that come with potential risk like working with tools. “Risky play is really a fundamental way for children to figure out the world,” says Mariana Brussoni, a professor at the University of British Columbia. “Engaging in risky play helps them to develop self-confidence, resilience, executive functioning abilities, as well as risk assessment.” While it is still parents’ job to keep kids safe in playgrounds, it is important to make informed choices before prohibiting risky play. That’s why parents should practice what Brussoni calls the 17-second rule. So instead of telling your child not to climb a tree so high or run so fast, take 17 seconds and observe how your child is doing and what they are able to do. “This will provide your children the opportunity to figure out for themselves what’s comfortable and what they can do,” says Brussoni, adding that the most important thing you can do is get out of the way and just let children play. 8. What are the current playgrounds like? A. They are challenging for kids. B. They are basically free of risks. C. They are full of funny elements. D. They are tailored to risk-takers’ nature. 9. Why does Rob Hofland want to bring back risk play? A. To motivate children to become more active. B. To obey the latest health guidelines in Europe. C. To train potential champions in the sports field. D. To inspire children to invent smarter devices. 10. What does Brussoni stress in paragraph 5? A. Requirements for tackling risks. B. Features of predictable risks. C. Ways to engage in risky play. D. Benefits risky play can bring. 11. What does Brussoni advise parents to do? A Stop observing their adventurous kids. B. Act as a role model for less brave kids. C. Allow their kids to explore their potential. D. Prevent their kids from doing risky sports. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论的是如今的儿童游玩场地几乎没有任何冒险设施。这样的游乐场地真的适合孩子们吗？是否应该恢复冒险游戏？ 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Playgrounds have been made significantly safer. There are soft surfaces to play on and all the dangerous play equipment like tall metal slides where children jumped on and off at high speeds have been replaced by much safer plastic swings and climbing structures.(操场变得更加安全。这里有柔软的地面可供玩耍，所有危险的游乐设备，比如让孩子们高速上下的高金属滑梯，都被更安全的塑料秋千和攀爬结构所取代。)”以及第二段“Has removing the risk also removed the fun and the challenge?(移除风险是否也会移除乐趣和挑战？)”可知，目前的儿童游玩场地基本没有危险设施。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““The inspiration is that children are hardly moving, which is a huge problem,” says Rob Hofland, one of the officials. “They are attracted to a more engaging screen, sitting still for hours. We are learning about how unhealthy it is that the Dutch — the sitting champions of Europe — are so inactive. Things need to change and it starts young.”(“孩子们几乎不动，这是一个大问题。”其中一名官员Rob Hofland表示，“他们会被更吸引人的屏幕所吸引，一坐就是几个小时。我们正在了解到，荷兰人——欧洲的卫冕冠军——如此不活跃是多么不健康。事情需要改变，而且要从年轻的时候开始。”)”可知，Rob Hofland提到，孩子们现在大多更喜爱看电子产品，这导致他们很少运动，健康状况堪忧，因此他认为需要改变现状。由此可推断，他想要恢复冒险游戏是想鼓励孩子们多运动。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Risky play is really a fundamental way for children to figure out the world,” says Mariana Brussoni, a professor at the University of British Columbia. “Engaging in risky play helps them to develop self-confidence, resilience, executive functioning abilities, as well as risk assessment.”(“冒险游戏确实是孩子们了解世界的一种基本方式，”不列颠哥伦比亚大学教授Mariana Brussoni说。“参与冒险游戏有助于他们培养自信、适应力、执行能力和风险评估能力。”)”可知，在第五段Brussoni主要强调冒险游戏的益处。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This will provide your children the opportunity to figure out for themselves what’s comfortable and what they can do,” says Brussoni, adding that the most important thing you can do is get out of the way and just let children play.(Brussoni说：“这将为你的孩子提供一个机会，让他们自己弄清楚什么是舒适的，他们可以做什么。”他补充说，你能做的最重要的事情就是让开，让孩子们去玩。)”可推断，Brussoni建议父母允许孩子探索他们的潜能。故选C项。 D In the history of life on Earth, organisms have relied on the light of the sun, the moon and stars to find their way and schedule their lives. While the emergence of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have been a boon to humans, it has done much harm to the natural world. Among the negative impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN), light pollution leads migrating birds to cities with terrible consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtles to climb away from the water instead of towards it. Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another finding about how ALAN is affecting coral reefs (珊瑚礁): Light pollution from coastal cities can trick them into spawning (产卵) outside of the appropriate times when they would normally reproduce. Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning observations, researchers are able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlighted reefs. Corals release eggs on certain nights of the year, guided by lunar cycles. If corals are spawning on different nights, inspired to do so by the confusion of light pollution, it could reduce the likelihood of coral eggs being fertilized and surviving to produce new adult corals that help reefs to recover. “Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse and economically important ecosystems on the planet. Mass bleaching (白化) events caused by climate change, habitat destruction, fisheries, water pollution and other disturbances have reduced coral reefs substantially since the 1950s,” these worried researchers write. “The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.” “If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing, we can delay switching on night-time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise that guides spawning remains complete,” says lead author Dr. Thomas Davies. Obviously, light pollution is one of the least complicated pollution sources to fix. Solving plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions will take a humanity-wide sea change to fix, but light pollution? We just need to turn off the lights when necessary. That can make a significant difference to the natural world. 12. What does the underlined word “boon” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Blessing. B. Demonstration. C. Trend. D. Crisis. 13. How does ALAN affect corals? A. It blinds new adult corals. B. It misleads them into spawning. C. It keeps them from reproducing. D. It encourages coral egg hunting. 14. Why do the researchers feel worried? A. Corals are exposed to moonlight. B. Corals are likely to become extinct. C. Corals have lost their ecological value. D. Corals cause disturbances to fisheries. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To analyze the impact of human activity. B. To emphasize the significant role of corals. C. To reveal the root sources of corals’ decline. D. To call for action to reduce light pollution. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，沿海城市的光污染会诱导珊瑚在正常产卵时间以外产卵，大大降低珊瑚卵的受精成功率和珊瑚的存活率。这一发现进一步证明了光污染的危害。因此，作者呼吁减少光污染。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“While the emergence of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have been a boon to humans, it has done much harm to the natural world.(虽然19世纪末电灯的出现对人类来说是一个……，但它对自然界却造成了很大的危害。)”可知，电灯的出现对人类来说是一个福音。画线词的词义与harm相反，与Blessing最接近。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二至四段，尤其是第二段“Light pollution from coastal cities can trick them into spawning (产卵) outside of the appropriate times when they would normally reproduce. (沿海城市的光污染可以诱使它们在正常繁殖的适当时间之外产卵。)”可知，夜间人造灯光会误导珊瑚在正常产卵时间以外产卵。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的内容，尤其是“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.(预计珊瑚将在未来100年内完全消失。)”可知，珊瑚很可能会灭绝，这令研究人员担忧。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“While the emergence of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have been a boon to humans, it has done much harm to the natural world. Among the negative impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN), light pollution leads migrating birds to cities with terrible consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtles to climb away from the water instead of towards it.(虽然19世纪末电灯的出现对人类来说是一个福音，但它对自然界却造成了很大的危害。在夜间人造光（ALAN）的负面影响中，光污染导致候鸟迁徙到城市，造成可怕的后果，导致昆虫数量惊人的下降，并使海龟从水中爬出而不是向水中爬去。)”和最后一段“Obviously, light pollution is one of the least complicated pollution sources to fix. Solving plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions will take a humanity-wide sea change to fix, but light pollution? We just need to turn off the lights when necessary. That can make a significant difference to the natural world.(显然，光污染是最容易解决的污染源之一。解决塑料污染和温室气体排放问题需要人类范围内的彻底改变，但光污染呢？我们只需要在必要的时候关灯。这可以对自然界产生重大影响。)”可知，本文旨在呼吁采取行动减少光污染。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Easy access to information allows for global connectivity and learning. However, it has also fueled the rapid spread of misleading and even harmful content. Here are some common traps that we should try to avoid in a digital era. ____16____.

In doing so, we might be surprised to find information that questions the facts we took for granted. Reacting without a second thought. The fast pace of digital content encourages immediate reactions. ____19____. Before liking, commenting, or sharing a post, take a moment to evaluate its credibility. Start by asking simple but important questions: Who benefits from this story? What evidence supports the claims? Are there different explanations? ____20____. A. Seeing is believing B.

(运用了部分倒装结构) 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。 John and David had been friends since they met in college, and now they found themselves hiking through a local mountain. The noon sun shone through the forest as they walked forward, their backpacks heavy with supplies. “How much further do you think we need to go before reaching the top?” John said. “The guy we met at the foot of the mountain probably has already made it. I think we should speed up.” David consulted the map and said, “We should reach the top in about an hour. We’re making good progress. There’s no hurry—we shouldn’t miss the surrounding scenery.” As they continued their journey, the landscape around them changed. The forest gradually thinned out, revealing the beauty of the surroundings. They stopped occasionally to photograph the unique flowers and trees they encountered along the way. “Look at that!” John suddenly shouted, pointing to a pair of monkeys swinging through the trees. The animals seemed to be playing a game of chase, their movements quick and smooth. The friends took some photos of the scene and then decided to continue their journey. Just then, they heard a distant cry for help. Both of them stopped in their tracks, listening carefully. The call came again, clearer this time. Without hesitation, John and David dropped their planned route and headed in the direction of the voice. After about ten minutes of careful search, they found a young hiker, Michael, who turned out to be the guy they had met a few hours before. “What happened to you, Michael? Do you need any help?” John asked. “I hiked so fast that I hurt my ankle and couldn’t walk. I was tired and hungry… I was wondering if you could…” Michael said hesitantly. 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。 “Of course we could help you,” John said firmly, pulling out his first-aid kit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Michael said, “You’re almost reaching the top. You shouldn’t give up because of me.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Of course we could help you,” John said firmly, pulling out his first-aid kit. David nodded in agreement and helped John wrap Michael’s ankle with care. Then John shared some of their water and energy bars with Michael. To help Michael relax, John showed him some photos. Michael was amazed by the beautiful scenery and nature’s entertainment, which he had missed while he was hiking so fast. After a short break, David and John offered to escort Michael back to the foot of the mountain so that he could receive medical treatment. Michael said, “You’re almost reaching the top. You shouldn’t give up because of me.” David and John exchanged glances, and then John turned to Michael and asked, “Would you like to reach the top with us?” Sensing Michael’s confusion, David added that they could go up and then go down together. With the help of David and John, Michael hiked forward slowly, which allowed him to admire the impressive views. When the three hikers eventually stood on the top of the mountain and looked at each other, they felt they all found the new purpose of hiking. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。全文讲述了John和David这对老朋友在登山途中的一次意外经历。他们在享受徒步旅行和周围风景的同时，听到了求救声，随后发现了一个名叫Michael的年轻徒步者，他之前在山脚下与他们有过一面之缘。Michael因为走得太快而扭伤了脚踝，无法行走，感到疲惫和饥饿。John和David决定放弃原计划，转而帮助Michael。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我们当然可以帮助你，’John坚定地说，同时拿出了他的急救包。”可知，第一段可描写John和David帮助受伤的Michael，提供急救、食物和水，并分享照片让他放松。之后，他们提出护送他下山接受治疗。 ②由第二段首句内容“Michael说：‘你们都快到山顶了。你们不应该因为我而放弃。’”可知，第二段可描写John和David提议三人一起登顶。在他们的帮助和鼓励下，Michael慢慢前行，欣赏沿途风景。最终，三人一起站在山顶，找到了徒步的新意义。 2.续写线索：救助Michael——主动提出护送下山——提议三人一起登顶——登顶——感知徒步的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助，援助：help/assist/aid ②展示：show/showcase ③放弃：give up/quit 情绪类 ①吃惊：amazed/astonished ②困惑：confusion/puzzlement 【点睛】【高分句型1】Michael was amazed by the beautiful scenery and nature’s entertainment, which he had missed while he was hiking so fast.（运用了which引导定语从句和while引导状语从句） 【高分句型2】Sensing Michael’s confusion, David added that they could go up and then go down together.（运用了现在分词作状语和that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026齐市普高联谊校高三期中考试英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：外研版必修第一册～必修第二册Unit3。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Here are four of the best farm vacations where you can connect with nature and learn about farm life. Stone and Thistle Farm East Meredith, New York Farm stay activities on Stone and Thistle Farm include grooming (刷洗) horses, milking goats, collecting eggs and holding baby chicks. Additional hands-on field and kitchen workshops are educational and family-friendly experiences focused on farming or cooking experiences (these are separate from the farm vacation and must be booked in groups of five or more). BlissWood Bed and Breakfast Ranch Cat Spring, Texas Situated in a 350-acre area, BlissWood Bed and Breakfast Ranch is a working farm. Horseback riding, ranch games, fishing and feeding tours with farm animals are all part of the guest experiences. Another highlight is the safari experience, a guided tour where you can get close to wildlife animals. Tabula Rasa Farms Carlton, Oregon Set among the rolling hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Tabula Rasa Farms lets families spread out and enjoy life on a farm. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom farmhouse comes with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer. In summer, there’s a swimming hole behind the house along with many hiking trails. A short walk away is the working farm, with animals such as cows, pigs and ducks. Homecoming Ranch Nelsonville, Ohio Farm stays at Homecoming Ranch honor both the livestock (家畜) and the land by sharing the working ranch’s sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices with guests. The 98-acre farm is home to Scottish Highland goats and chickens. Farm tours and interesting activities such as milking goats and collecting eggs and strawberries are a fun way to facilitate learning for kids. 1. What is a requirement for the cooking activity on Stone and Thistle Farm? A. Collecting eggs. B. Preparing cookers. C. Making reservations. D. Participating in groups of four. 2. Where is the farm that appeals to swimming lovers? A. In East Meredith, New York. B. In Cat Spring, Texas. C. In Carlton, Oregon. D. In Nelsonville, Ohio. 3. What can visitors do at Homecoming Ranch? A. Earn some money by picking fruits. B. Repaint a three-bathroom farmhouse. C. Get close to a variety of wildlife animals. D. Learn about regenerative farming practices. B Ever the innovator to entertain its customers, this Masschetusettes cafe recently came up with a novel attraction for its customers. “Walk in and give us your BEST dance moves for 5 seconds,” reads a sign displayed on the entrance door. If you do so, you can get a cup of coffee for free. The unexpected dance venue? Coffee Milano, which serves the most delicious coffee, drinks, breakfast and lunch all day long, seven days a week. The response to Coffee Milano’s promotion was electric with multiple customers eager to show off their best dance moves. “It was fun, energetic and smiley,” says Joshua Rashid, the cafe owner of the small family-owned business. “Funny dances can really improve customers’ mood.” It’s no secret that acting happy, moving and music can get you feeling better, even if it’s a bit unnatural at first. Brainly, a knowledge-sharing community, discusses the so-called “Facial feedback effect”. This is documented in studies showing that forcing a smile can still boost mood and happiness levels. This is likely because when people smile, their brains release something that helps to reduce stress. On November 23, 2024, a video of the dancing customers became a hit online, amassing an astonishing 7.6 million views online since it was posted. “We just thought it was going to be a small thing for the people that come in every day,” admits Oliver Svensen, social media director at Coffee Milano. She says the huge success of the campaign is due to the vicarious (间接感受到的) pleasure of seeing people feeling happy and expressing themselves, rather than the free drink alone. “I am still processing this. I didn’t realize the power of the Internet,” says Rashid. “More customers are coming in and dancing.” He plans to make this joyful event a monthly fixture. “It was amazing and fun. The customers kept asking when the next one would be!” he says. 4. The sign at the entrance can be replaced by “______”. A. Free coffee is just a dance away! B. Who will be the best dancer? C Smile for a cup of free coffee! D. Would you like to drink coffee? 5. What is the function of paragraph 4? A. To offer some advice. B. To support a claim. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To doubt a common belief. 6. What does Oliver Svensen mention about the campaign? A. The social purposes of launching it. B. The efforts to boost it on social media. C. The factors contributing to its success. D. The practical approaches to expanding it. 7. What can be known about Rashid? A. He is astonished at the popularity of the campaign. B. He plans to come up with more similar joyful events. C. He initially had little confidence in the taste of coffee. D. He first got the idea from a discussion on the Internet. C Playgrounds have been made significantly safer. There are soft surfaces to play on and all the dangerous play equipment like tall metal slides where children jumped on and off at high speeds have been replaced by much safer plastic swings and climbing structures. Has removing the risk also removed the fun and the challenge? In Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, local officials believe so. That’s why they want to replace boring playgrounds with spaces that allow kids to play with water, climb, sword-fight with sticks, wrestle and fall. “The inspiration is that children are hardly moving, which is a huge problem,” says Rob Hofland, one of the officials. “They are attracted to a more engaging screen, sitting still for hours. We are learning about how unhealthy it is that the Dutch — the sitting champions of Europe — are so inactive. Things need to change and it starts young.” Taking risks is children’s nature. Babies start to pull themselves up on furniture even before they can stand. Older children are introduced to a large range of activities that come with potential risk like working with tools. “Risky play is really a fundamental way for children to figure out the world,” says Mariana Brussoni, a professor at the University of British Columbia. “Engaging in risky play helps them to develop self-confidence, resilience, executive functioning abilities, as well as risk assessment.” While it is still parents’ job to keep kids safe in playgrounds, it is important to make informed choices before prohibiting risky play. That’s why parents should practice what Brussoni calls the 17-second rule. So instead of telling your child not to climb a tree so high or run so fast, take 17 seconds and observe how your child is doing and what they are able to do. “This will provide your children the opportunity to figure out for themselves what’s comfortable and what they can do,” says Brussoni, adding that the most important thing you can do is get out of the way and just let children play. 8. What are the current playgrounds like? A. They are challenging for kids. B. They are basically free of risks. C. They are full of funny elements. D. They are tailored to risk-takers’ nature. 9. Why does Rob Hofland want to bring back risk play? A. To motivate children to become more active. B. To obey the latest health guidelines in Europe. C. To train potential champions in the sports field. D. To inspire children to invent smarter devices. 10. What does Brussoni stress in paragraph 5? A. Requirements for tackling risks. B. Features of predictable risks. C. Ways to engage in risky play. D. Benefits risky play can bring. 11. What does Brussoni advise parents to do? A. Stop observing their adventurous kids. B. Act as a role model for less brave kids. C. Allow their kids to explore their potential. D. Prevent their kids from doing risky sports. D In the history of life on Earth, organisms have relied on the light of the sun, the moon and stars to find their way and schedule their lives. While the emergence of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have been a boon to humans, it has done much harm to the natural world. Among the negative impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN), light pollution leads migrating birds to cities with terrible consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtles to climb away from the water instead of towards it. Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another finding about how ALAN is affecting coral reefs (珊瑚礁): Light pollution from coastal cities can trick them into spawning (产卵) outside of the appropriate times when they would normally reproduce. Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning observations, researchers are able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlighted reefs. Corals release eggs on certain nights of the year, guided by lunar cycles. If corals are spawning on different nights, inspired to do so by the confusion of light pollution, it could reduce the likelihood of coral eggs being fertilized and surviving to produce new adult corals that help reefs to recover. “Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse and economically important ecosystems on the planet. Mass bleaching (白化) events caused by climate change, habitat destruction, fisheries, water pollution and other disturbances have reduced coral reefs substantially since the 1950s,” these worried researchers write. “The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.” “If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing, we can delay switching on night-time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise that guides spawning remains complete,” says lead author Dr. Thomas Davies.

The noon sun shone through the forest as they walked forward, their backpacks heavy with supplies. “How much further do you think we need to go before reaching the top?” John said. “The guy we met at the foot of the mountain probably has already made it. I think we should speed up.” David consulted the map and said, “We should reach the top in about an hour. We’re making good progress. There’s no hurry—we shouldn’t miss the surrounding scenery.” As they continued their journey, the landscape around them changed. The forest gradually thinned out, revealing the beauty of the surroundings. They stopped occasionally to photograph the unique flowers and trees they encountered along the way. “Look at that!” John suddenly shouted, pointing to a pair of monkeys swinging through the trees. The animals seemed to be playing a game of chase, their movements quick and smooth. The friends took some photos of the scene and then decided to continue their journey. Just then, they heard a distant cry for help. Both of them stopped in their tracks, listening carefully. The call came again, clearer this time. Without hesitation, John and David dropped their planned route and headed in the direction of the voice. After about ten minutes of careful search, they found a young hiker, Michael, who turned out to be the guy they had met a few hours before. “What happened to you, Michael? Do you need any help?” John asked. “I hiked so fast that I hurt my ankle and couldn’t walk. I was tired and hungry… I was wondering if you could…” Michael said hesitantly. 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。 “Of course we could help you,” John said firmly, pulling out his first-aid kit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Michael said, “You’re almost reaching the top.
