Mark Twain was widely respected during his lifetime for his sharp satire(讽刺), characteristic humor, and much-loved characters. Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor. It was not long after the publication of this story that Twain traveled to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to work as a reporter. His work mainly consisted of writing travel letters which were very well-received by readers. The letters focused on humor as well as the Sandwich Islands and the success of these letters became the basis for his frequent lectures. During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works. In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing. Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games. 4. Which work marked the beginning of Twain's writing career? A. The Million Pound Bank Note. B. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. C. The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. D. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. 5. What was one of the key topics in Twain's travel letters during the 1860s? A. Popular lectures. B. Historical accounts. C. The Sandwich Islands. D. The Mississippi River. 6. What can be learned from paragraph 3 about Twain's first novel? A. It was co-written. B. It was successful. C. It was for children. D. It was adapted into games. 7. What is a shared element in Twain's works mentioned in this text? A. War. B. Humor. C. Love. D. Money. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了马克·吐温及其作品。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor.(马克·吐温的文学之旅始于他1865年的首部成功之作《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》，这是一部幽默的杰作)”可知，《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》标志着马克·吐温写作生涯的开始。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations.(在十九世纪六十年代，演讲是一种非常受欢迎的娱乐形式，就像如今去电影院观影一样。吐温的演讲讲述了他前往诸如三明治群岛、巴黎、埃及以及其他各地的旅行，充满了幽默元素)”可知，在十九世纪六十年代期间，吐温的信中提到了三明治群岛。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles.(1873年，吐温的第一部小说《镀金时代：今日之事》出版了。这部作品是与他的朋友兼邻居查尔斯共同创作完成的) ”可推断，第一本小说《镀金时代：今日之事》是吐温和他的朋友一起创作的，选项中的A项表示“它是合著的”与推断相吻合。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中首句“Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor.(马克·吐温的文学之旅始于他1865年的首部成功之作《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》，这是一部幽默的杰作)”、第三段中的“In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion since it was written separately by the two writers. (1873年，吐温的第一部小说《镀金时代：今日之事》出版了。这部作品是与他的朋友兼邻居查尔斯共同创作完成的。虽然小说中运用了幽默和讽刺手法这一点受到了称赞，但由于这是由两位作者分别独立创作的，因此整体缺乏连贯性，所以这种手法并未被认为是成功的) ”以及末段中的“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games.(《汤姆·索亚历险记》是历史上最成功的儿童文学作品之一。因其幽默风趣的叙述以及对密西西比河沿岸密苏里州生活的描绘而备受赞誉，这部小说至今仍在出版，并已被改编成电视节目、电影、舞台剧甚至电子游戏)”可知，文章提到的马克·吐温的三部作品的共性是humor(幽默)。故选B项。 C In Kenya’s countryside, many women had to struggle with dried-up streams, food shortages, and long journeys to collect firewood for fuel and fencing — problems mainly caused by deforestation (森林砍伐). To solve these issues, Professor Wangari Maathai started the Green Belt Movement (GBM) in 1977 to encourage women to work together to plant trees, which would help hold soil, store rainwater, and provide food and firewood. By doing so, they could also earn small payments for their work. The movement started with just seven trees planted on World Environment Day in 1977. Yet within months, it grew into a national effort with thousands of trees planted in rows to form “green belts”. As the trees took root, Professor Maathai saw something deeper. The women’s struggles went beyond drought to their lack of voice in community decisions. In response, the Green Belt Movement launched the Community Empowerment (赋权) and Education conferences to teach people how to stand up for their rights while protecting the land, empowering women to lead and challenge the traditional roles. Looking back, the journey has by no means been easy. Time and again, the group stood against powerful interests — from stopping a 60-story building in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park (1989) to saving Karura Forest from privatization (1999). These victories came at great risk. Professor Maathai and members always faced violent attacks and even death threats during protests. Yet, GBM never stopped. To date, hundreds of thousands of women have become involved, and over 5,000 tree farms have been established. More than 51 million trees have been planted — on farms, in schools and churches, along rivers, and throughout the nation, contributing significantly to environmental protection and sustainable (可持续的)development. In 2004, Professor Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to sustainable development, democracy (民主) and peace. Today, the work of Professor Maathai and the Green Belt Movement continues to stand as living proof that small actions make big changes. 8. Why did Professor Maathai originally start the Green Belt Movement? A. To ensure food safety. B. To create job opportunities. C. To unite women for land rights. D. To help women overcome environmental hardships. 9. What did Professor Maathai realize after the movement started? A. Lack of community fund. B. Strong disagreements from powerful interests. C. Women’s absence from community decisions. D. Difficulty in growing trees in drought-hit areas. 10. Which of the following best describes the Green Belt Movement? A. Tough but successful. B. Traditional but significant. C. Unrecognized but sustainable. D. Limited but well-known. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Trees for a Greener World B. Green Roots to Empowerment C. Facing Preservation Challenges D. Empowering Women through Leadership 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了马塔伊教授创立绿带运动GBM并且发展至今，通过植树等一系列运动帮助女性获得权力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“To solve these issues, Professor Wangari Maathai started the Green Belt Movement (GBM) in 1977 to encourage women to work together to plant trees, which would help hold soil, store rainwater, and provide food and firewood.(为了解决这些问题，王加里·马塔伊教授于1977 年创立绿带运动GBM，旨在鼓励女性团结起来种植树木，这些树木将有助于保持土壤、储存雨水并提供食物和柴火)”可推断，马塔伊教授开始创立绿带运动的原因是帮助女性团结起来改善自然环境。选项D表示“为了帮助女性克服环境困难”，与推断内容相吻合。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As the trees took root, Professor Maathai saw something deeper. The women’s struggles went beyond drought to their lack of voice in community decisions.(随着树木扎根生长，马塔伊教授有了更深刻的感悟。这些妇女的抗争不仅是因为干旱，还因为她们在社区决策中缺乏话语权)”可知，马塔伊教授意识到女性无法参与社区决策。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Looking back, the journey has by no means been easy. Time and again, the group stood against powerful interests — from stopping a 60-story building in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park (1989) to saving Karura Forest from privatization (1999). These victories came at great risk. (回首往事，这段历程绝非一帆风顺。他们一次又一次地与强大的势力作斗争——从阻止内罗毕乌胡鲁公园上建造一座60 层的高楼（1989 年），到阻止卡鲁拉森林被私有化（1999 年）。这些胜利来之不易，付出了巨大的代价)”可知，绿带运动的历程艰难但还是成功了。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“To solve these issues, Professor Wangari Maathai started the Green Belt Movement (GBM) in 1977 to encourage women to work together to plant trees, which would help hold soil, store rainwater, and provide food and firewood.(为了解决这些问题，王加里·马塔伊教授于1977 年创立绿带运动GBM，旨在鼓励女性团结起来种植树木，这些树木将有助于保持土壤、储存雨水并提供食物和柴火)”、第二段中的“ In response, the Green Belt Movement launched the Community Empowerment and Education conferences to teach people how to stand up for their rights while protecting the land, empowering women to lead and challenge the traditional roles.(对此，绿色护林运动发起了社区赋权与教育会议，旨在教导人们如何在保护土地的同时维护自身权利，同时赋予女性领导和挑战传统角色的权力)”、第三段中的“Looking back, the journey has by no means been easy. Time and again, the group stood against powerful interests — from stopping a 60-story building in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park (1989) to saving Karura Forest from privatization (1999).

A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity, these simple robotic creations would be ordinary, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living organism: a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the fungus (真菌) and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid (生物混合的) robotics which seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with synthetic components to make partly living and partly engineered robots. Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Robert Shepherd, a professor at Cornell University who leads the Organic Robotics Lab. Fungi can be cultivated in large quantities and thrive in many different environments. Fungi may have advantages over other biohybrid approaches in terms of the conditions required to keep them alive. This could make them an excellent candidate for biohybrid robots for applications in agriculture and marine exploration. The lab has produced more than 30 sensing and computing devices using live fungi. However, some experts show their concerns that if biohybrid robots become more complex and are applied in the ocean or other ecosystems, it could disturb the habitats, challenging the traditional distinction between life and machine. Currently, this research hasn’t raised ethical questions, but if it continues to develop, it’s vital to consider the consequences of releasing them in the open. 12. What can we learn about biohybrid robots from the first two paragraphs? A. They are controlled by human cells. B. They are applied to rescue operations. C. They may be sensitive to electrical signals. D. They may have many practical applications. 13. Why are fungi used for biohybrid robots? A. They are in large numbers. B. They respond to the environment quickly. C. They are readily available. D. They can survive in different environments. 14. What is the potential problem with biohybrid robots? A. Damaging ecosystems. B. Confusing humans with machines. C. Losing control. D. Replacing humans on certain jobs. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To warn about the risks of biohybrid robots. B. To present the concept of biohybrid robots. C. To introduce the new development of robots. D. To question the benefits of engineered robots 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种由真菌控制的生物混合机器人的新发展，包括其原理、潜在应用和可能存在的问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake. (生物混合机器人尚未走出实验室，但研究人员希望有一天它们能探索海洋或在地震后搜寻幸存者)”可推知，这种机器人未来可能有许多实际的应用。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Fungi can be cultivated in large quantities and thrive in many different environments. Fungi may have advantages over other biohybrid approaches in terms of the conditions required to keep them alive. This could make them an excellent candidate for biohybrid robots for applications in agriculture and marine exploration.(真菌可以大量种植，并在许多不同的环境中茁壮成长。就维持真菌存活所需的条件而言，真菌可能比其他生物杂交方法有优势。这可能使它们成为应用于农业和海洋勘探的生物混合机器人的绝佳候选者。)”可知，真菌被用于生物混合机器人是因为它们能在不同环境中生存。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, some experts show their concerns that if biohybrid robots become more complex and are applied in the ocean or other ecosystems, it could disturb the habitats, challenging the traditional distinction between life and machine.(然而，一些专家担心，如果生物混合机器人变得更加复杂，并应用于海洋或其他生态系统，它可能会扰乱栖息地，挑战生命和机器之间的传统区别。)”可知，生物混合机器人潜在的问题是可能破坏生态系统。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“By growing the mushroom’s mycelium into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the fungus and its sensitivity to light.

You may think spending more time at home or with friends will probably have a negative influence on your bank account. In fact, once you have enough money to satisfy your basic needs, money makes very little difference in your overall well-being. ___17___ Worry isn’t productive. You might find yourself visiting a new city like London and ending up being confused by the transportation system. You can’t find out how to get where you want to go and it makes you want to scream. ___18___ Nothing. Getting lost in a new city may lead to a better story than going to a crowded museum. ___19___ If you’re lucky enough to make it to age 90, you still have less than 800,000 hours between the time you are born and the time you die to enjoy all the things that make up life. About one third of the hours will be spent in sleeping. ___20___ Do what you need to do to live a happy life and help others do the same. A. Your time is limited. B. Rich people aren’t happier people. C. Does this kind of relationship really matter? D. But what are you getting by stressing yourself out? E. So you’d better make full use of the remaining time. F. Friendship will give you more happiness than anything else. G. Actually, most of our troubles are only as stressful as we choose to let them be. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章建议我们不要把生活看得太严肃，并给出了三条理由：金钱对整体的幸福感影响较小，焦虑毫无用处，以及人生短暂。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Nowadays the sense of frustration(挫败)results from many things such as slow Internet connections and choosing what to wear to an event with an unclear dress code.(如今，这种挫败感来自很多方面，比如网速慢，以及在着装要求不明确的场合穿什么。)”可知我们的挫败感源于很多事情，根据下文“So next time you want to smash(砸碎)your computer, remember the following reasons for not taking life so seriously.(所以下次你想砸你的电脑时，记住以下不要把生活当回事的理由。)”可知接下来文章要告诉我们为什么不要把生活看得太严肃，空处承上启下，所以空处应该指出生活中的烦恼都来自于我们的选择，G项Actually, most of our troubles are only as stressful as we choose to let them be.(事实上，我们大多数烦恼的压力都是我们选择让它们存在的。)指出 大多数烦恼的存在都是我们自己的选择，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境，故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“In fact, once you have enough money to satisfy your basic needs, money makes very little difference in your overall well-being.(事实上，一旦你有足够的钱来满足你的基本需求，金钱对你的整体幸福的影响就很小了。)”可知，一旦你拥有足够的钱来满足你的基本需求，金钱对提升你的整体幸福感便不会产生多大影响，空处位于段末，应对前文进行总结，所以空处应该指出富裕的人并不一定是快乐的人，B项Rich people aren’t happier people. (富人并不是快乐的人。)紧承上文，符合上下文语境，故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据本段主旨句“Worry isn’t productive.(担心是没有效率的。)”可知本段主要讲的是担心是没有效率的，根据空后的“Nothing.(什么也没有。)”可知担心是没有收获的，针对空后的回答nothing，空处应该提出一个问题来对应空后的回答Nothing，D项But what are you getting by stressing yourself out? (但是让你自己感到焦虑能让你得到什么呢？)与其构成一问一答，且与本段的主旨句“Worry isn’t productive.”相呼应，符合上下文语境，故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“If you’re lucky enough to make it to age 90, you still have less than 800,000 hours between the time you are born and the time you die to enjoy all the things that make up life.(如果你足够幸运地活到90岁，从你出生到你死去，你还有不到80万小时的时间来享受生活。)”可知，你如果有幸能活到90岁，那么你一生也仅仅有不到80万个小时而已，即时间是有限的，空处位于段首，应是本段的主旨句，对后文内容进行概括，A项Your time is limited. (你的时间是有限的。)概括全段内容，符合上下文语境，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“About one third of the hours will be spent in sleeping.(大约三分之一的时间用于睡眠。)”可知生命中大约三分之一的时间是在睡眠中度过的，根据空后“Do what you need to do to live a happy life and help others do the same.(做你需要做的事来过上幸福的生活，并帮助别人也这样做。)”可知此处讲的是我们应该做自己需要做的事情，空处承上启下，所以空出应该针对上文提出充分利用时间的建议，E项So you’d better make full use of the remaining time.(所以你最好充分利用剩下的时间。)针对上文提出建议，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境，故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible, ___21___ people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.

However, experts noted that too much social media use ____38____(know) to have a negative influence on mental health. So they started a study to investigate how ____39____ (improve) mental health in this time of rapid digitalization. The results of the study ____40____(lead) by Dr Julia of the Mental Health Research and Treatment Center clearly showed that individuals who cut ____41____(they) social media use by 30 minutes a day and used this time for physical activity ____42____(incredible) improved their mental health. People who replaced 30 minutes of social media use with exercise every day for two weeks ____43____(have) powerful results. They reported feeling happier, more satisfied and less depressed. The positive effects lasted for at least six months after the study had ended. “This shows us how vital it is to reduce our availability online from time to time and to go back to our human roots,” said Dr Julia. “These measures can be easily applied to people’s ____44____(day) routine and they’re completely free and, at ____45____ same time, they help us stay happy and healthy in the digital age.” 【答案】36. which 37. areas 38. is known 39. to improve 40. led 41. their 42. incredibly 43. had 44. daily 45. the 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了数字化时代中减少社交媒体使用并增加体育锻炼对心理健康的积极影响。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：数字化是21世纪的一个主要特征，它代表了社会向在生活的各个领域广泛使用数字技术的转变。分析句子结构可知，本句为非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Digitalization”，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，且从句由逗号隔开，因此使用关系代词which。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：数字化是21世纪的一个主要特征，它代表了社会向在生活的各个领域广泛使用数字技术的转变。空格前有形容词“various(各种各样的)”修饰，所给词area是可数名词，因此空格处应使用可数名词的复数形式“areas”。故填areas。 【38题详解】 考查动词的语态和时态。句意：然而，专家指出，过度使用社交媒体已知会对心理健康产生负面影响。主语“too much social media use”是动作的承受者，因此使用被动语态“be known”；且本句描述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语为不可数，be动词用is。故填is known。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此他们开始研究在这个快速数字化的时代如何改善心理健康。此处为疑问词“how”接动词不定式，表示“如何做某事”，在句中作宾语，表示“如何改善心理健康”。故填to improve。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：由心理健康研究和治疗中心的Julia博士领导的这项研究结果清楚地表明……。分析句子结构可知，谓语动词是“showed”，与所给动词“lead”之间无连词，因此“lead”应用非谓语形式。名词“study(研究)”与“lead(领导)”之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词“led”表被动，构成过去分词短语“led by Dr Julia of the Mental Health Research and Treatment Center”作后置定语，修饰study。故填led。 【41题详解】 考查代词。句意：……那些每天将社交媒体使用时间减少30分钟，并将这些时间用于体育活动的人，他们的心理健康显著改善。空格后是名词“social media use”，因此需要用所给词they的形容词性物主代词“their”作定语，修饰“social media use”。故填their。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：那些每天将社交媒体使用时间减少30分钟，并将这些时间用于体育活动的人，他们的心理健康显著改善。空格处修饰动词“improved”，因此需要使用所给形容词incredible的副词形式“incredibly”，表示“难以置信地”。“incredible”以le结尾，变副词时去e加y。故填incredibly。 【43题详解】 考查动词的时态。句意：那些连续两周每天用锻炼代替30分钟社交媒体使用的人取得了显著的效果。根据下文“They reported... The positive effects lasted...”可知，谓语动词用了一般过去时，表示整个研究过程及其结果是发生在过去的，故设空处也需用一般过去时。故填had。 【44题详解】 考查词性转换。句意：这些措施可以很容易地应用到人们的日常生活中。空格处修饰名词“routine”，因此需要使用所给词day的形容词形式“daily”，表示“每日的；日常的”。故填daily。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它们完全免费，同时还能帮助我们在数字时代保持快乐和健康。根据“at _____ same time”可知，此处需填入定冠词the，构成固定搭配“at the same time”，意为“同时”。故填the。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文（满分15分） 46. 假如你是李华，最近学生们就“人类是否应该探索深海”为话题进行了讨论，请你写一篇短文介绍讨论的情况，主要内容包括： 1. 赞成：海洋资源丰富、研究气候变化等； 2. 反对：影响海洋环境、需要大量资金投入等； 3. 你的观点。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： One possible version: Recently, we have had a heated discussion on whether humans should explore the deep sea.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear!

A science magazine B Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated authors in all of American literature. Mark Twain was widely respected during his lifetime for his sharp satire(讽刺), characteristic humor, and much-loved characters. Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor. It was not long after the publication of this story that Twain traveled to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to work as a reporter. His work mainly consisted of writing travel letters which were very well-received by readers. The letters focused on humor as well as the Sandwich Islands and the success of these letters became the basis for his frequent lectures. During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works. In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing. Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games. 4. Which work marked the beginning of Twain's writing career? A. The Million Pound Bank Note. B. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. C. The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. D. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. 5. What was one of the key topics in Twain's travel letters during the 1860s? A. Popular lectures. B. Historical accounts. C. The Sandwich Islands. D. The Mississippi River. 6. What can be learned from paragraph 3 about Twain's first novel? A. It was co-written. B. It was successful. C. It was for children. D. It was adapted into games. 7 What is a shared element in Twain's works mentioned in this text? A. War. B. Humor. C. Love. D. Money. C In Kenya’s countryside, many women had to struggle with dried-up streams, food shortages, and long journeys to collect firewood for fuel and fencing — problems mainly caused by deforestation (森林砍伐). To solve these issues, Professor Wangari Maathai started the Green Belt Movement (GBM) in 1977 to encourage women to work together to plant trees, which would help hold soil, store rainwater, and provide food and firewood. By doing so, they could also earn small payments for their work. The movement started with just seven trees planted on World Environment Day in 1977. Yet within months, it grew into a national effort with thousands of trees planted in rows to form “green belts”. As the trees took root, Professor Maathai saw something deeper. The women’s struggles went beyond drought to their lack of voice in community decisions. In response, the Green Belt Movement launched the Community Empowerment (赋权) and Education conferences to teach people how to stand up for their rights while protecting the land, empowering women to lead and challenge the traditional roles. Looking back, the journey has by no means been easy. Time and again, the group stood against powerful interests — from stopping a 60-story building in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park (1989) to saving Karura Forest from privatization (1999). These victories came at great risk. Professor Maathai and members always faced violent attacks and even death threats during protests. Yet, GBM never stopped. To date, hundreds of thousands of women have become involved, and over 5,000 tree farms have been established. More than 51 million trees have been planted — on farms, in schools and churches, along rivers, and throughout the nation, contributing significantly to environmental protection and sustainable (可持续的)development. In 2004, Professor Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to sustainable development, democracy (民主) and peace. Today, the work of Professor Maathai and the Green Belt Movement continues to stand as living proof that small actions make big changes. 8. Why did Professor Maathai originally start the Green Belt Movement? A. To ensure food safety. B. To create job opportunities. C. To unite women for land rights. D. To help women overcome environmental hardships. 9. What did Professor Maathai realize after the movement started? A. Lack of community fund. B. Strong disagreements from powerful interests. C. Women’s absence from community decisions. D. Difficulty in growing trees in drought-hit areas. 10. Which of the following best describes the Green Belt Movement? A. Tough but successful. B. Traditional but significant. C. Unrecognized but sustainable. D. Limited but well-known. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Trees for a Greener World B. Green Roots to Empowerment C. Facing Preservation Challenges D. Empowering Women through Leadership D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity, these simple robotic creations would be ordinary, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living organism: a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the fungus (真菌) and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid (生物混合的) robotics which seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with synthetic components to make partly living and partly engineered robots. Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Robert Shepherd, a professor at Cornell University who leads the Organic Robotics Lab. Fungi can be cultivated in large quantities and thrive in many different environments. Fungi may have advantages over other biohybrid approaches in terms of the conditions required to keep them alive. This could make them an excellent candidate for biohybrid robots for applications in agriculture and marine exploration. The lab has produced more than 30 sensing and computing devices using live fungi. However, some experts show their concerns that if biohybrid robots become more complex and are applied in the ocean or other ecosystems, it could disturb the habitats, challenging the traditional distinction between life and machine. Currently, this research hasn’t raised ethical questions, but if it continues to develop, it’s vital to consider the consequences of releasing them in the open. 12. What can we learn about biohybrid robots from the first two paragraphs? A. They are controlled by human cells. B. They are applied to rescue operations. C. They may be sensitive to electrical signals. D. They may have many practical applications. 13 Why are fungi used for biohybrid robots? A. They are in large numbers. B. They respond to the environment quickly. C. They are readily available. D. They can survive in different environments. 14. What is the potential problem with biohybrid robots? A. Damaging ecosystems. B. Confusing humans with machines. C. Losing control. D. Replacing humans on certain jobs. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To warn about the risks of biohybrid robots. B. To present the concept of biohybrid robots. C. To introduce the new development of robots. D. To question the benefits of engineered robots 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。　 　 Nowadays the sense of frustration(挫败)results from many things such as slow Internet connections and choosing what to wear to an event with an unclear dress code. ___16___ So next time you want to smash(砸碎)your computer, remember the following reasons for not taking life so seriously.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 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。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
