A
Hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires are a few examples of unavoidable natural disasters. Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault.
The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone
In 1985, scientists began mapping a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorous in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area of marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean. It is made up of tiny pieces of plastic brought together by the North Pacific Gyre (北太平洋环流), which is formed by four ocean currents — California, North Equatorial, Kuroshio, and North Pacific.
Three Mile Island Accident
One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment.
2017 California Wildfires
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising large numbers of animals can increase greenhouse gases in the air, making the Earth warmer. In October 2017, northern California had one of the most deadly wildfire seasons in history. Higher temperatures and drought made the fire spread quickly. The 2017 wildfires burned about 245,000 acres of land and killed at least 47 people.
1. What do the four disasters have in common?
A. They are all natural disasters. B. They all happened in coastal areas.
C. They can all repair themselves naturally. D. They were all caused by human activities.
2. What is special about The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone?
A. It happened because the water lost too much oxygen.
B. It was caused by the release of radioactive materials.
C. More greenhouse gases in the air led to the disaster.
D. Tiny plastic pieces carried by ocean currents caused it.
3. Which disaster was related to nuclear power?
A. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone. B. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
C. Three Mile Island Accident. D. 2017 California Wildfires.
B
Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There's a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water's edge with a small metal cage beside her.
This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles(乌龟), unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully wiping with a brush, which made me feel surprised.
"Hello," I said. "If you don't mind my nosiness, I'd love to know what you're doing with these turtles."
"I'm cleaning off their shells," she replied.
"Anything on a turtle's shell weakens the turtle's ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time."
She went on, "I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It's my own strange way of making a difference."
"Well then, don't you think your time could be better spent? It's a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don't have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference?"
The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae(海藻)from its shell, and said, "Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he'd tell you I just made all the difference in the world."
4. What was the writer surprised at according to Paragraph 2?
A. Four turtles in the cage. B. The beautiful scenery in the park.
C. A small metal cage put beside the water. D. A woman cleaning off the turtles' shells.
5. What does the underlined word "impair" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Make. B. Clean. C. Hurt. D. Recognize.
6 Why did the author doubt the woman's efforts?
A. He thought the woman's efforts were meaningless.
B. There are so few turtles in the world.
C. The woman didn't protect the environment.
D. The woman couldn't be understood by others.
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Taking a walk. B. The power of kindness.
C An elderly woman's job. D. Four turtles in the metal cage.
C
Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best never used in any situation as it is “hurtful”. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.
“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don't know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,”one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I've read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old”if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
8. What does the thumbs-up emoji mean to Gen Z according to the text?
A. It shows agreement. B. It is considered rude or hurtful.
C. It is used to joke with older people. D. It symbolizes friendship.
9. Why does one woman find the thumbs-up emoji aggressive in her workplace?
A. Because it is a formal way of communication.
B. Because it shows disagreement with her messages.
C. Because it seems dismissive and unresponsive.
D. Because it was used only by younger colleagues.
10. What can be inferred about older workers from the text?
A. They misunderstand the younger generation's emoji preferences.
B. They intentionally use thumbs-up to annoy younger colleagues.
C. They avoid using emojis in work-related chats.
D. They view emojis as inappropriate in formal settings.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences
B. How Thumbs-Up Became a Global Symbol
C. The Rise of Emojis in Professional Chats
D. Why Older Workers Prefer Thumbs-Up
D
In Mexico, a chinampa is an island that was built up by the native Aztec people with mud from the bottom of a lake that surrounds their capital. One of these areas is called Xochimiloo.
Food grown on the islands in Xochimilco has fed people for hundreds of years, but the chinampas here are under threat from urbanization. Many families are giving up the ancient practice to rent out or sell their land for more profitable uses such as soccer fields and tourism. “If you do well in farming, you could earn $5,000 to S10.000 a year,” one local landowner said. “In the tourist area, you could have that within a couple of weekends.”
Some of those remaining, like Cassandra Garduño, are banding together to promote the traditional use of the chinampas. When her grandfather died in 2010 and her uncles didn’t want to carry on, Garduño took it upon herself to learn farming. She bought land from a friend’s uncle in 2020 and grew kinds of produce, including sunflowers and eggplants. Now 32-year-old Garduño is one member of the growing organization called Chinampo Refuge, and she and other members encourage local people to protect their land. They follow ancient growing techniques but are trying new commercial approaches to compete with cheaper produce grown on massive farms elsewhere in Mexico. That includes a special label-Etiqueta Chinampera, which tells buyers the produce came from a chinampa.
Luis Zambrano, an ecologist who has worked in Xochimilco for decades, says fed and watered by the lake, the fields can produce three to five crops of vegetables a year without the need for chemicals. But now, on weekends, it’s common to see more soccer players boating to islands than farmers tending their crops. Over the past two to three years, there has been a massive increase in the number of soccer fields on the islands. “It doesn’t look that harmful because there’s no construction,” says Zambrano. “But it’s just as damaging because of the amount of chemicals that are used, and the amount of pollution that is generated.”
12. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. The chinampas have benefited from urbanization.
B. Many farmers are using new farming technology.
C. Farming affects the environment in Mexico badly.
D. Farming is less profitable than tourism in Xochimilco.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Garduno?
A. Her relationship with her family. B. The trouble she had in buying land.
C. Her efforts to protect agricultural land. D. The challenges she met when learning farming.
14. What is the purpose of using Etiqueta Chinampera?
A. To show the date of production. B. To indicate the food origin.
C. To tell the price of the food. D. To explain the cooking method.
15. What is Zambrano’s attitude to building soccer fields on chinampas?
A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear.

It was a Saturday afternoon. I was having lunch when Dad told me to get ready. I became unhappy. I don’t like Saturdays! Even though it’s a holiday for most children, it is not for me because I need to go to football club.
Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them. I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running, so in a team I am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’m useless.
I have no idea how to play football. Usually, after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod.
Last Thursday, the coach told us that we would be competing with another team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents (对手) were the winner last year and I froze and thought how awkward it would be if the team lost because of me.
So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day.
After one month, when the game day came, my teammates were unwilling to take me in the team, and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But they happened to be short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team.
Our team was the Big Blues. There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field. I got very nervous. The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back, the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team.
注意:

Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There's a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water's edge with a small metal cage beside her.
This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles(乌龟), unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully wiping with a brush, which made me feel surprised.
"Hello," I said. "If you don't mind my nosiness, I'd love to know what you're doing with these turtles."
"I'm cleaning off their shells," she replied.
"Anything on a turtle's shell weakens the turtle's ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time."
She went on, "I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It's my own strange way of making a difference."
"Well then, don't you think your time could be better spent? It's a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don't have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference?"
The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae(海藻)from its shell, and said, "Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he'd tell you I just made all the difference in the world."
4. What was the writer surprised at according to Paragraph 2?
A. Four turtles in the cage. B. The beautiful scenery in the park.
C. A small metal cage put beside the water. D. A woman cleaning off the turtles' shells.

Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best never used in any situation as it is “hurtful”. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.
“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don't know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,”one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I've read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old”if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
8. What does the thumbs-up emoji mean to Gen Z according to the text?
A. It shows agreement. B. It is considered rude or hurtful.
C. It is used to joke with older people. D. It symbolizes friendship.
9. Why does one woman find the thumbs-up emoji aggressive in her workplace?
A. Because it is a formal way of communication.
B. Because it shows disagreement with her messages.
C. Because it seems dismissive and unresponsive.
D. Because it was used only by younger colleagues.
10. What can be inferred about older workers from the text?
A. They misunderstand the younger generation's emoji preferences.
B. They intentionally use thumbs-up to annoy younger colleagues.
C. They avoid using emojis in work-related chats.
D. They view emojis as inappropriate in formal settings.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences
B. How Thumbs-Up Became a Global Symbol
C. The Rise of Emojis in Professional Chats
D. Why Older Workers Prefer Thumbs-Up
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲的是年轻人和年长一代对竖大拇指这一表情符号的不同理解。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.(Z世代(1995年至2009年之间出生的人)表示,竖起大拇指会被视为一种被动攻击,他们表示,每当竖起大拇指时,他们都会感到受到攻击。无论是在非正式场合、朋友之间还是工作场合聊天,这个符号对年轻一代来说似乎都有非常不同的“粗鲁”的含义。)”和第二段的句子“A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best never used in any situation as it is “hurtful”.(Reddit上一位24岁的网友总结了Z世代的观点,称在任何情况下都最好不要使用它,因为它“很伤人”。)”可知,竖起大拇指的表情符号被Z世代被认为是粗鲁或伤人的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容““My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”(“我的上一个工作场所有一个WhatsApp聊天工具,我们的团队可以在上面互相发送信息,但大多数人都只是竖起大拇指回复。我不知道为什么,但我觉得它有点咄咄逼人,”一位女士说。一位Reddit用户也表示,竖起大拇指实际上意味着“我已经阅读了你的信息,没有什么可补充的,我希望并祈祷……在这个群里聊天的人也没什么可说的。”)”可以推论出,一名女性在工作场所会觉得竖起大拇指的表情符号很有攻击性是因为她觉得这种回复显得轻蔑和无动于衷,缺乏积极参与或友好互动的感觉。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子““No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad-at me,” he added.(“办公室里和我同龄的人都不会这么做,但X世代(1966年至1980年出生的人)总是这么做。让我调整一下,让我不再认为这意味着他们在生我的气,”他补充道。)”和第四段“Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”(年长的员工似乎对这种反应感到困惑,他们说,他们在与工作相关的聊天中用大拇指表示“我同意”或“我理解并会跟进”。)”可以推论出,年长的员工误解了年轻一代对表情符号的偏好。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲的是年轻人和年长一代对竖大拇指这一表情符号的不同理解。所以,用A项“The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences(表情符号之争:代际差异)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选A项。
D
In Mexico, a chinampa is an island that was built up by the native Aztec people with mud from the bottom of a lake that surrounds their capital. One of these areas is called Xochimiloo.
Food grown on the islands in Xochimilco has fed people for hundreds of years, but the chinampas here are under threat from urbanization. Many families are giving up the ancient practice to rent out or sell their land for more profitable uses such as soccer fields and tourism. “If you do well in farming, you could earn $5,000 to S10.000 a year,” one local landowner said. “In the tourist area, you could have that within a couple of weekends.”
Some of those remaining, like Cassandra Garduño, are banding together to promote the traditional use of the chinampas. When her grandfather died in 2010 and her uncles didn’t want to carry on, Garduño took it upon herself to learn farming. She bought land from a friend’s uncle in 2020 and grew kinds of produce, including sunflowers and eggplants. Now 32-year-old Garduño is one member of the growing organization called Chinampo Refuge, and she and other members encourage local people to protect their land. They follow ancient growing techniques but are trying new commercial approaches to compete with cheaper produce grown on massive farms elsewhere in Mexico. That includes a special label-Etiqueta Chinampera, which tells buyers the produce came from a chinampa.
Luis Zambrano, an ecologist who has worked in Xochimilco for decades, says fed and watered by the lake, the fields can produce three to five crops of vegetables a year without the need for chemicals. But now, on weekends, it’s common to see more soccer players boating to islands than farmers tending their crops. Over the past two to three years, there has been a massive increase in the number of soccer fields on the islands. “It doesn’t look that harmful because there’s no construction,” says Zambrano. “But it’s just as damaging because of the amount of chemicals that are used, and the amount of pollution that is generated.”
12. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. The chinampas have benefited from urbanization.
B. Many farmers are using new farming technology.
C. Farming affects the environment in Mexico badly.
D. Farming is less profitable than tourism in Xochimilco.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Garduno?
A. Her relationship with her family. B. The trouble she had in buying land.
C. Her efforts to protect agricultural land. D. The challenges she met when learning farming.
14. What is the purpose of using Etiqueta Chinampera?
A. To show the date of production. B. To indicate the food origin.
C. To tell the price of the food. D. To explain the cooking method.
15. What is Zambrano’s attitude to building soccer fields on chinampas?
A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了墨西哥霍奇米尔科地区的岛屿已经为当地人提供了数百年的食物。然而现在这些岛屿受到了城市化的威胁。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““If you do well in farming, you could earn $5,000 to S10.000 a year,” one local landowner said. “In the tourist area, you could have that within a couple of weekends.”(“如果你农活干得好,一年能挣5000到1万美元,”一位当地土地所有者说道。“在旅游区,你只需几个周末就能挣到这么多。”)”可知,在霍奇米尔科地区,农耕的经济收益不如旅游业。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Now 32-year-old Garduño is one member of the growing organization called Chinampo Refuge, and she and other members encourage local people to protect their land.(现在32岁的Garduño是一个不断壮大的组织“Chinampo Refuge”的成员,她和其他成员鼓励当地人保护他们的土地。)”可知,第三段主要介绍了Garduño为保护农业用地所做的努力。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That includes a special label-Etiqueta Chinampera, which tells buyers the produce came from a chinampa.(这包括一个特殊的标签——Etiqueta Chinampera,它告诉买家这些农产品来自浮田。)”可知,Etiqueta Chinampera是一个特殊标签,用于标明农产品的来源是浮田。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It doesn’t look that harmful because there’s no construction,” says Zambrano. “But it’s just as damaging because of the amount of chemicals that are used, and the amount of pollution that is generated.”(Zambrano说:“看起来似乎没那么有害,因为没有建筑。”“但由于使用了大量的化学物质,以及产生了大量的污染,它同样具有破坏性。”)”可知,从Zambrano的话中可以看出,他并不赞同在浮田上建造足球场,因为尽管没有建筑活动,但使用大量化学物质和产生的污染对浮田造成了同样的破坏。由此可推知,Zambrano对在岛上建足球场持反对态度。故选C。

I was paired with Emma, the quietest girl in class.”和“my speed and her exactness”以及“The best discoveries happen when ____15____ minds work together.”可知,作者和艾玛性格不同,思维不同,但她们合作完成了实验并获得了二等奖,所以此处指“不同的”思维一起工作时,最好的发现就会产生。故选D项。

Reasons for Learning Chinese Classical Poetry
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Reasons for Learning Chinese Classical Poetry
It makes practical sense for us to study Chinese classical poetry nowadays.
First of all, it carries forward the excellent Chinese culture and strengthens our cultural confidence. Secondly, it can bring us a lot of life inspiration and philosophy. For example, facing difficulties, we will think of Lu You’s “After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers and a lovely village.” Finally, the accumulation of poetry will give others a good impression.
All things considered, Chinese classical poetry is still worth learning.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a Saturday afternoon. I was having lunch when Dad told me to get ready. I became unhappy. I don’t like Saturdays! Even though it’s a holiday for most children, it is not for me because I need to go to football club.
Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them. I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running, so in a team I am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’m useless.
I have no idea how to play football. Usually after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod.
Last Thursday, the coach told us that we would be competing with another team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents (对手) were the winner last year and I froze and thought how awkward it would be if the team lost because of me.
So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day.
After one month, when the game day came, my teammates were unwilling to take me in the team, and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But they happened to be short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team.
Our team was the Big Blues. There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field. I got very nervous. The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back, the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph l:
When the ball came towards me, I froze.

Paragraph 2:
Our team, The Big Blues, won the match!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
When the ball came towards me, I froze. My teammates were very tired and seemed worried. The opponents rushed towards me. Without thinking anymore, I found courage, and I kicked the ball with all my strength. The opponents didn’t think highly of me, so they didn’t think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully. As I kicked, the goalkeeper jumped towards the ball but missed it.
Paragraph 2:
Our team, The Big Blues, won the match! All my teammates ran towards me to lift me in the air. Since that day, I have gained some confidence and started to play better. My coach and teammates are also content with me and they try to improve my skills every time I play. Now I have realized that I always liked this sport, but my problem with it had something to do with the lack of encouragement I got. Now I can build on my confidence and I’ve realized I can also play this sport very well.
