Here are eight unusual apps that might help you laugh at, or even escape from, everyday challenges: D-CIDE Planning a group meal? One person is a vegetarian another is sensitive to nuts, and someone just wants a quiet space. Type in everyone’s needs, and this app finds a restaurant nearby that works for all. uHUH Listening to someone go on and on about themselves? Turn on this app and it will respond with “Right!” and “No way!” so you can seem engaged while doing something else you are really interested in. OopsHa Sent a group text saying something embarrassing — only to realize the person you mentioned is in the group? This app sends a follow-up blaming it on autocorrect Avoyd Not in the mood to run into your neighbor or that overly chatty classmate? This app lets you know when they’ve left the building. PemaFinder A friend keeps texting you about how sad they are, but you don’t know what to say. This app offers kind, comforting quotes you can send to help. Crowdz Looking for a chill place without loud crowds? This app finds cafés and hangouts where you can relax without too much noise. WhoRaisedU If the sound of someone eating popcorn — or anything else — makes you uncomfortable, this white-noise app can help. Just put on your headphones and choose a sound option — like “Popcorn,” “Mac and Cheese,” or “Banana” — to block out those distracting, unpleasant table noises with calming background sound. NoApp Need a break from screen time? Turn this app on — it blocks all your other apps and simply… does nothing. Time to enjoy the real world again. 21. Which of the following best groups the apps into two categories based on their main purpose? A. For planning or handling social situations: D-CIDE, Avoyd For handling emotional needs or focus: PemaFinder, NoApp B. For noise control and sensory relief: WhoRaisedU, NoApp For communication and social messaging: uHUH, Crowdz C. For improving focus and organization: D-CIDE, Avoyd For reducing digital distractions: Crowdz, OopsHa D. For social awareness and manners: WhoRaisedU, uHUH For mental health and reflection: PemaFinder, Crowdz 22. If you want to take a break from social media so you can feel more present during the weekend, which app would best meet your needs? A. OopsHa B. Avoyd C. PemaFinder D. NoApp 23. What feature makes the app WhoRaisedU helpful in noisy eating environments? A. It automatically blocks most sounds in the room. B. It uses sound-masking to cover up unpleasant noises. C. It plays music to distract you from your surroundings. D. It records and reports loud eaters to the app community. B As a Spanish major, I chose the IES Santiago program because it provides opportunities for service-learning programs. During my first few weeks in Santiago, I visited various organizations to get an idea of what fields I could work in. On the brochure from the Asociación Nacional de Discapacitado Mental (ANDIME), a school for children with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), I noticed there was a music therapist (治疗师) on staff. Since my other major is music, this seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a taste of the profession. At ANDIME, I was able to work with Ernesto, a professional music therapist, for a few hours twice a week. I spent my hours at ANDIME walking and clapping with the music, swaying and bouncing with hula hoops (呼啦圈), beating on drums, singing songs, conducting concerts, and loving a group of extremely lovely kids. By far my most memorable moment at ANDIME happened during one of my classes with Ernesto. Most of the students had severe cases of Down syndrome, and several of them couldn’t speak and were only minimally responsive. One such student, Miguelito, was even unable to sit still, make controlled movements, or fix his eyes on anything. On this particular day, Ernesto brought out a brand new instrument to use with the class. Ernesto held the instrument in front of Miguelito’s face. We watched excitedly as Miguelito’s eyes began to search for its sound and slowly follow it up and down. A seemingly small event was a big step in the development of this little boy. Now back in the U.S., I am unsure of my next step. Between looking for jobs and picking out which path to pursue, I love going back to my photographs and remembering the school and my students. The pride shining in their eyes was a reward in itself. 24. According to paragraph 1, the author chose ANDIME partly because ________. A. he didn’t have better choices B. his friends recommended it C. he loved the atmosphere there D. he had learned music before 25. Which of the following best describes the author’s activities at ANDIME? A. Demanding. B. Colorful. C. Repetitive. D. Ordinary. 26. How did Miguelito respond to the new instrument? A. He showed no interest in it. B. He wanted to play it on his own. C. He was deeply attracted to it. D. He expressed his love in words. 27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He is determined to continue pursuing music. B. He feels confused about his future. C. He desires to work again for ANDIME. D. He is grateful for his experience at ANDIME. C The Produce Aggregation Program run by Southside Community Land Trust (SCLT), connects small-scale urban farmers with local communities in need of healthy food. The program collects and processes crops from multiple farmers, combining them into larger quantities for wholesale distribution. This helps overcome challenges small farms face, such as limited production capacity and lack of access to processing facilities and distribution networks. SCLT operates a farm-to-market processing center and manages logistics (后勤) for regular distribution. The program supports 27 farmers, many of whom are refugees, immigrants, or members of marginalized communities. While many of the farmers still rely on farmer markets, the program provides a more stable income source. Twice weekly during the growing season, SCLT orders produce from participating farmers, who deliver it to the food hub. There, it is sorted and packed into $20-value bags, each containing a variety of fresh produce. These are distributed at no cost through community partners such as clinics, recreation centers, and childcare programs. Some clinics distribute the produce through VeggieRx, a program where doctors prescribe (开处方) vegetables to patients. The program is currently funded by the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program, which was launched to support underserved farmers and increase food access. However, funding uncertainty remains a challenge. Rising costs, supply chain issues, limited land availability, and climate change all add strain to food assistance programs. Despite these obstacles, SCLT continues its year-round work to improve food access. In addition to the Produce Aggregation Program, the nonprofit supports 60 community gardens, offers training, and runs educational programs and internships. Altogether, its efforts provide healthy, culturally relevant food to about 1, 200 families annually, with the support of local farmers, volunteers, and community partners. 28. What does the Produce Aggregation Program mainly do for small farms? A. Improve their production ability. B. Gather crops for large sales. C. Offer free processing equipment. D. Sharpen their planting skills. 29. How does the Produce Aggregation Program ensure stable income for farmers? A. By hiring them to do farm work. B. By adding produce variety. C. By counting on farmer markets. D. By providing orders regularly. 30. What does the underlined word “strain” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Burden. B. Gain. C. Hope. D. Duty. 31. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Fighting Urban Poverty B. New Struggles for Small Farms C. Feeding the Neighbors D. New Trends in Urban Farming D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 32. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 33. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 34. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 35. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B. Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C. Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 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。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily.

On one shift, I sensed something just before going off duty at 11 am. I put down the tray(托盘） on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming. I realized that an earthquake was happening. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered. Afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy ,our ward sister(护士长），I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check no one was left behind in our ward(病房）. Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other wards with him to help more people. So we went together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with rubble（碎石），luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock (余震）struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse. 注意：续写字数应为150词左右。 Paragraph 1: However, without any hesitation, we made up our minds to stay with the doctor and save the nurse together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later in the afternoon, I had time to look around and saw some destroyed buildings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2023级高三第一次诊断性模拟考试 英语 本试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，其中试题卷由第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择题)组成，共10页;答题卡共2页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第I卷(选择题，共95分) 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When will the man see Dr. Know?

We often think of libraries as places for borrowing books, but your Eugene Public Library has surprised us by offering so much more, like board games, arts and crafts, and even musical instruments. W: Haha, that’s true! We have a special section for checking out non-literary items. Recently we’ve added something truly unique: robot cats. M: Really? Could you tell us more about that? W: Of course. The robot cats were brought in for a special reason. They were bought for the visitors who may be alone and in need of the company. They make sounds like real cats, sit on your legs, and enjoy nothing more than a good brush, which is really comforting. M: Well, how many robot cats do you have? W: Each of our three library floors has one for visitors, and we have two additional ones for our staff. I understand the staff has also taken a liking to them. M: That’s great to hear. Adding these robot cats is such a fantastic way to show how libraries can do more than just lend books. You’re not just offering resources. You’re helping build a community that cares about emotional support. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What can be seen in the image? A. A lonely old polar bear. B. A struggling polar bear. C. A sleeping young polar bear. 18. Which word best describes the process of taking the image? A. Challenging. B. Joyful. C. Disappointing. 19. What can the director’s words illustrate? A. The beauty in nature. B. The impact of the image. C. The affection for photography. 20. What does Nima Sarikhani call on people to do? A. Care about the safety of seafood. B. Create new homes for polar bears. C. Take action to prevent global warming. 【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】A heartbreaking image captures a young polar bear sleeping on the melting pieces of a tiny iceberg. British part-time photographer Nima Sarikhani captured the scene in Svalbard, which sits deep inside the Arctic Circle, around 500 miles from the North Pole. The image was crowned the winner of this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award. After three days of desperately searching for polar bears through thick fog, Sarikhani finally spotted two polar bears — a younger male and an older male. Just before midnight, as the ship got close to the bears, the younger one climbed onto a small iceberg and carved out a bed with his paws before falling asleep. Sarikhani said this photograph has caused strong emotions in many of those who have seen it. An estimated 26,000 polar bears remain in the wild, and they are at the risk of dying out as rising temperatures melt away the sea ice these animals depend on. Director of the Natural History Museum said, “The heartbreaking image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet. His thought-provoking image is a striking reminder of the essential bond between an animal and its habitat and serves as a visual representation of the harmful impacts of climate warming and habitat loss.” Sarikhani said he hoped his photograph could inspire hope. He added there is still time to fix the mess we have caused. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A In a world full of apps, some are designed not for serious tasks — but for life’s small annoyances and awkward moments. Here are eight unusual apps that might help you laugh at, or even escape from, everyday challenges: D-CIDE Planning a group meal? One person is a vegetarian, another is sensitive to nuts, and someone just wants a quiet space. Type in everyone’s needs, and this app finds a restaurant nearby that works for all. uHUH Listening to someone go on and on about themselves? Turn on this app, and it will respond with “Right!” and “No way!” so you can seem engaged while doing something else you are really interested in. OopsHa Sent a group text saying something embarrassing — only to realize the person you mentioned is in the group? This app sends a follow-up blaming it on autocorrect. Avoyd Not in the mood to run into your neighbor or that overly chatty classmate? This app lets you know when they’ve left the building. PemaFinder A friend keeps texting you about how sad they are, but you don’t know what to say. This app offers kind, comforting quotes you can send to help. Crowdz Looking for a chill place without loud crowds? This app finds cafés and hangouts where you can relax without too much noise. WhoRaisedU If the sound of someone eating popcorn — or anything else — makes you uncomfortable, this white-noise app can help. Just put on your headphones and choose a sound option — like “Popcorn,” “Mac and Cheese,” or “Banana” — to block out those distracting, unpleasant table noises with calming background sound. NoApp Need a break from screen time? Turn this app on — it blocks all your other apps and simply… does nothing. Time to enjoy the real world again. 21. Which of the following best groups the apps into two categories based on their main purpose? A. For planning or handling social situations: D-CIDE, Avoyd For handling emotional needs or focus: PemaFinder, NoApp B. For noise control and sensory relief: WhoRaisedU, NoApp For communication and social messaging: uHUH, Crowdz C. For improving focus and organization: D-CIDE, Avoyd For reducing digital distractions: Crowdz, OopsHa D. For social awareness and manners: WhoRaisedU, uHUH For mental health and reflection: PemaFinder, Crowdz 22. If you want to take a break from social media so you can feel more present during the weekend, which app would best meet your needs? A. OopsHa B. Avoyd C. PemaFinder D. NoApp 23. What feature makes the app WhoRaisedU helpful in noisy eating environments? A. It automatically blocks most sounds in the room. B. It uses sound-masking to cover up unpleasant noises. C. It plays music to distract you from your surroundings. D. It records and reports loud eaters to the app community. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了八款不寻常的应用程序，这些应用程序旨在帮助人们应对日常生活中的小烦恼和尴尬时刻。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据选项中提到的应用对应文章内容可知，D-CIDE用于规划团体用餐，考虑每个人的饮食需求，属于处理社交情境的应用；Avoyd用于避免遇到不想见的人，也属于处理社交情境的应用。PemaFinder提供安慰的话语，帮助应对朋友的负面情绪，属于处理情感需求的应用；NoApp用于暂时屏蔽其他应用，帮助人们从屏幕时间中休息，属于帮助人们专注于现实生活的应用。因此，A选项“For planning or handling social situations: D-CIDE, Avoyd；For handling emotional needs or focus: PemaFinder, NoApp”正确地将这些应用分为了两类。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据NoApp中“Need a break from screen time? Turn this app on — it blocks all your other apps and simply… does nothing. Time to enjoy the real world again. (需要从屏幕时间中休息一下吗？打开这个应用程序 —— 它会屏蔽你所有的其他应用程序，然后……什么都不做。是时候再次享受现实世界了)”可知，如果你想在周末从社交媒体中休息一下，以便更专注于现实生活，NoApp这款应用最能满足你的需求。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据WhoRaisedU中“If the sound of someone eating popcorn — or anything else — makes you uncomfortable, this white-noise app can help. Just put on your headphones and choose a sound option — like “Popcorn,” “Mac and Cheese,” or “Banana” — to block out those distracting, unpleasant table noises with calming background sound. (如果有人吃爆米花或其他东西的声音让你不舒服，这款白噪音应用可以帮到你。只需戴上耳机，选择一种声音选项 —— 比如“爆米花”、“通心粉和奶酪”或“香蕉” —— 用平静的背景音掩盖那些分散注意力的、令人不快的餐桌噪音)”可知，WhoRaisedU这款应用通过使用声音掩蔽来掩盖不愉快的声音，从而在嘈杂的用餐环境中发挥作用。故选B项。 B As a Spanish major, I chose the IES Santiago program because it provides opportunities for service-learning programs. During my first few weeks in Santiago, I visited various organizations to get an idea of what fields I could work in. On the brochure from the Asociación Nacional de Discapacitado Mental (ANDIME), a school for children with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), I noticed there was a music therapist (治疗师) on staff. Since my other major is music, this seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a taste of the profession. At ANDIME, I was able to work with Ernesto, a professional music therapist, for a few hours twice a week. I spent my hours at ANDIME walking and clapping with the music, swaying and bouncing with hula hoops (呼啦圈), beating on drums, singing songs, conducting concerts, and loving a group of extremely lovely kids. By far my most memorable moment at ANDIME happened during one of my classes with Ernesto. Most of the students had severe cases of Down syndrome, and several of them couldn’t speak and were only minimally responsive. One such student, Miguelito, was even unable to sit still, make controlled movements, or fix his eyes on anything. On this particular day, Ernesto brought out a brand new instrument to use with the class. Ernesto held the instrument in front of Miguelito’s face. We watched excitedly as Miguelito’s eyes began to search for its sound and slowly follow it up and down. A seemingly small event was a big step in the development of this little boy. Now back in the U.S., I am unsure of my next step. Between looking for jobs and picking out which path to pursue, I love going back to my photographs and remembering the school and my students. The pride shining in their eyes was a reward in itself. 24. According to paragraph 1, the author chose ANDIME partly because ________. A. he didn’t have better choices B. his friends recommended it C. he loved the atmosphere there D. he had learned music before 25. Which of the following best describes the author’s activities at ANDIME? A. Demanding. B. Colorful. C. Repetitive. D. Ordinary. 26. How did Miguelito respond to the new instrument? A. He showed no interest in it. B. He wanted to play it on his own. C. He was deeply attracted to it. D. He expressed his love in words. 27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He is determined to continue pursuing music. B. He feels confused about his future. C. He desires to work again for ANDIME. D. He is grateful for his experience at ANDIME. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在智利圣地亚哥参与音乐治疗志愿服务的经历，以及该对作者职业与人生产生深远影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Since my other major is music, this seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a taste of the profession. (由于我的第二专业正是音乐，这似乎是体验该职业的绝佳机会)”可知，作者之所以选择ANDIME的直接原因是自己学过音乐、想借此了解音乐治疗行业。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I spent my hours at ANDIME walking and clapping with the music, swaying and bouncing with hula hoops (呼啦圈), beating on drums, singing songs, conducting concerts, and loving a group of extremely lovely kids. (我在ANDIME的时光里，随着音乐漫步、拍手，转着呼啦圈摇摆、跳跃，还打鼓、唱歌、指挥音乐会，也爱上了一群格外可爱的孩子)”可知，作者的活动形式丰富多样，兼具律动、演奏、游戏与表演，呈现出“多彩”的特点。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“We watched excitedly as Miguelito’s eyes began to search for its sound and slowly follow it up and down. (我们兴奋地看着他的眼睛开始寻找声源，并慢慢地跟着乐器上下移动)”可知，米格利托被新乐器深深吸引，出现明显追视行为。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The pride shining in their eyes was a reward in itself. (他们眼中闪耀的自豪本身就是回报)”可推知，作者虽对未来发展之路暂感迷茫，但照片中学生们眼中的自豪对他来说应是无比珍贵的，作者言辞间充满对ANDIME经历的珍视与感激。故选D项。 C The Produce Aggregation Program, run by Southside Community Land Trust (SCLT), connects small-scale urban farmers with local communities in need of healthy food. The program collects and processes crops from multiple farmers, combining them into larger quantities for wholesale distribution. This helps overcome challenges small farms face, such as limited production capacity and lack of access to processing facilities and distribution networks. SCLT operates a farm-to-market processing center and manages logistics (后勤) for regular distribution. The program supports 27 farmers, many of whom are refugees, immigrants, or members of marginalized communities. While many of the farmers still rely on farmer markets, the program provides a more stable income source. Twice weekly during the growing season, SCLT orders produce from participating farmers, who deliver it to the food hub. There, it is sorted and packed into $20-value bags, each containing a variety of fresh produce. These are distributed at no cost through community partners such as clinics, recreation centers, and childcare programs. Some clinics distribute the produce through VeggieRx, a program where doctors prescribe (开处方) vegetables to patients. The program is currently funded by the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program, which was launched to support underserved farmers and increase food access. However, funding uncertainty remains a challenge. Rising costs, supply chain issues, limited land availability, and climate change all add strain to food assistance programs. Despite these obstacles, SCLT continues its year-round work to improve food access. In addition to the Produce Aggregation Program, the nonprofit supports 60 community gardens, offers training, and runs educational programs and internships. Altogether, its efforts provide healthy, culturally relevant food to about 1, 200 families annually, with the support of local farmers, volunteers, and community partners. 28. What does the Produce Aggregation Program mainly do for small farms? A. Improve their production ability. B. Gather crops for large sales. C. Offer free processing equipment. D. Sharpen their planting skills. 29. How does the Produce Aggregation Program ensure stable income for farmers? A. By hiring them to do farm work. B. By adding produce variety. C. By counting on farmer markets. D. By providing orders regularly. 30. What does the underlined word “strain” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Burden. B. Gain. C. Hope. D. Duty. 31. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Fighting Urban Poverty B. New Struggles for Small Farms C. Feeding the Neighbors D. New Trends in Urban Farming 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍农产品聚合计划帮助小农户和社区的情况。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The program collects and processes crops from multiple farmers, combining them into larger quantities for wholesale distribution.(该计划收集并处理来自多个农民的农作物，将它们合并成更大的数量进行批发分销)”可知，农产品集散计划的核心功能是将多个小农场的农产品收集起来，合并成更大的数量以便进行批发销售。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While many of the farmers still rely on farmer markets, the program provides a more stable income source.(虽然许多农民仍然依赖农贸市场，但该计划提供了更稳定的收入来源)”以及第三段中“Twice weekly during the growing season, SCLT orders produce from participating farmers, who deliver it to the food hub.(在生长季节，SCLT每周两次从参与的农民那里订购农产品，他们将其送到食品中心)”可知，农产品集散计划通过定期向农民订购农产品，为农民提供了一个稳定的收入来源。故选D。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“However, funding uncertainty remains a challenge. Rising costs, supply chain issues, limited land availability, and climate change all add strain to food assistance programs.(然而，资金的不确定性仍然是一个挑战。成本上升、供应链问题、土地有限以及气候变化都给食品援助计划增加了strain)”可知，该句描述了食品援助计划面临的多种挑战，这些挑战都给计划带来了额外的压力或负担。因此，划线单词“strain”在此处意为“负担”或“压力”。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The Produce Aggregation Program, run by Southside Community Land Trust (SCLT), connects small-scale urban farmers with local communities in need of healthy food. The program collects and processes crops from multiple farmers, combining them into larger quantities for wholesale distribution. This helps overcome challenges small farms face, such as limited production capacity and lack of access to processing facilities and distribution networks.(由南城社区土地信托基金运营的农产品集散计划，将小规模的城市农民与需要健康食品的当地社区联系起来。该计划收集并处理来自多位农民的农作物，将它们合并成更大的数量进行批发分销。这有助于克服小农场面临的挑战，例如生产能力有限，以及缺乏加工设施和分销网络的准入机会)”可知，文章主要介绍了Southside Community Land Trust（SCLT）运行的农产品集散计划，该计划通过连接小规模城市农民和需要健康食品的当地社区，为社区提供新鲜农产品，并帮助农民解决销售问题。文章的核心是关于如何为社区提供健康食品，并促进社区与农民之间的合作。因此，C选项“Feeding the Neighbors(为邻居提供食物)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选C。 D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 32. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 33. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 34. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 35. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B. Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C. Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造光对人类有益，但会干扰野生动物的自然睡眠周期，新研究还发现它会使树叶变硬，影响城市生态系统。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. (研究人员发现，特定区域的人造光越多，树叶就越坚硬)”可知，人造光会使树叶变硬。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. (他们并不完全明白原因，但推测夜间处于人造光下的树木可能会延长它们的光合作用时间)”和第三段中引用Ellen Cieraad的话“Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher. (由于植物利用光进行生长，夜间人造光可能会不自然地增加树木进行光合作用的时间，将更多的资源分配到使树叶更坚硬的化合物上)”可推知，引用Ellen Cieraad的话是为了支持第二段中研究人员的假设。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. (植物的变化以及植物与动物之间相互作用的变化，会对整个城市生态系统产生重大影响。以树叶为食的食草昆虫可能难以生存，从而破坏食物链。食草昆虫数量的减少可能会导致鸟类等捕食者数量的减少，影响生物多样性)”描述的现象可知，植物和动物间的小变化会影响整个城市生态系统，即小的变动可能会影响大局。故D项“A small move may affect the bigger picture.(一个小小的变动可能会影响大局)”能概括该段现象。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文提到人造光对生态系统的诸多影响和最后一段中“Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. (未来，研究人员致力于完善他们的发现，旨在引导人们采取相应的行动)”可推断，后续研究可能会关注减少夜间人造光影响的解决方案。故选D项。 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。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. ___36___ The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ___37___We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ___38___ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. ___39___ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. ___40___ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A. This time there was no tent. B. Things are going to be improved. C. The trip they took me on was a rough one. D. However, I have learned a lot about camping since then. E. I must say that I have really come to like camping. F. After the trip, my family became very interested in camping. G. There were no modern conveniences to make life easier. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者原本对露营毫无兴趣，经朋友介绍尝试露营后，从最初的糟糕体验逐渐爱上露营，甚至购置了设施完备的旅行拖车的经历。 【36题详解】 根据前文“I would have laughed heartily. Campers... had nothing in common with me.(我会开怀大笑。在我看来，露营者是那些喜欢被虫子咬、吃烹饪不当的饭菜和睡不舒服的睡袋的人。他们和我毫无共同之处。)”以及后文作者多次参与露营并爱上露营的内容可知，此处需体现转折，表明作者后来对露营的态度发生了改变。D选项“However, I have learned a lot about camping since then(然而，从那以后我学到了很多关于露营的知识)”既承接前文的排斥态度，又引出后文的露营经历，符合语境。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据后文“We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.(我们睡在帐篷里，在篝火上做饭，还要走很远的路去洗澡和上厕所。)”可知，这次露营条件简陋、比较艰苦。C选项“The trip they took me on was a rough one(他们带我去的这次旅行很艰苦)”中的“a rough one”与后文描述的艰苦露营场景一致，符合语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.(尽管如此，我还是被说服去野外度过另一个充满乐趣的假期。)”以及后文“Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner.(相反，我们有一辆带舒适床铺和空调的弹出式露营车。)”中的“Instead”可知，此次露营与上次不同，没有了之前的帐篷。A选项“This time there was no tent(这次没有帐篷了)”既与前文的“another”呼应，又与后文的“Instead”衔接，点明了露营装备的变化，符合语境。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据后文“We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set.(从那以后，我们露营了很多次。最近，我们买了一辆28英尺长的旅行拖车，里面有浴室和内置电视机。)”可知，作者一家后来经常露营，还购置了装备更好的拖车，说明他们对露营产生了浓厚兴趣。F选项“After the trip, my family became very interested in camping(那次旅行后，我的家人对露营产生了浓厚的兴趣)”能够引出后文的多次露营和购置拖车的行为，符合语境。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据后文“It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.(毫无疑问，每个人迟早都会找到回归自然的方式。我建议你以自己的风格回归自然。)”可知，作者已经完全接受并爱上了露营，才会给出这样的建议。E选项“I must say that I have really come to like camping(我必须说，我真的开始喜欢露营了)”直接表达了作者对露营的喜爱，与后文的推荐语衔接自然，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A teacher shows three toys to a student and asks the student to find out ___41___.

On one shift, I sensed something just before going off duty at 11 am. I put down the tray(托盘） on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming. I realized that an earthquake was happening. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered. Afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy ,our ward sister(护士长），I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check no one was left behind in our ward(病房）. Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other wards with him to help more people. So we went together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with rubble（碎石），luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock (余震）struck and the doctor ordered us to leave.

The doctor put the nurse on his back and walked out of the building with the help of us. Finally, all, including patients, nurses and doctors, were in the safe place. Later in the afternoon, I I had time to look around and saw the some destroyed buildings. My beautiful workplace lay beyond recognition, even some in ruins. At the sight of this, I felt a weight in my chest. Suddenly, the gentle wind danced around me, which made me thought of all the people surviving the earthquake with our help.
