All around us, the flat nothingness is interrupted only by electricity pylons (输电线塔), stretching into the distance like children holding jump ropes. We pass ghost-town service stations with empty convenience stores stocked with drinks, noodles, and vacuum-packed chicken feet. Then Dunhuang comes into view. One site that traders would have almost certainly visited is the Mogao Caves. These 492 caves were hand-carved into a cliff face because a Buddhist monk named Le Zun had a vision of 1,000 Buddhas bathed in golden light at the site in 366 C.E. The interior walls were painted with breathtaking murals and the niches (壁龛) filled with statues of Buddha. Merchants would pass by to pray for protection from the warring nomads (游牧民族) and murderous thieves on the path. However, as the Silk Road trade was abandoned in favor of sea routes in the 14th century, Dunhuang was swallowed by the sands of time and knowledge of the caves faded from memory. I walk along an avenue of silver poplar trees. To my left, the caves look similar to a row of prison blocks: squat square doorframes, each numbered, and set into the concrete. But as I dip my head to enter, a colorful dreamworld of dragons, phoenixes, and petal-scattering apsaras (飞天女神) unfolds. The hands of our guide make shadow puppets on the wall as she gestures in front of the torchlight. In Cave 96 sits a nine-story-tall Buddha statue, the third tallest in China. All I can see is the edge of his robes decorated with fierce dragons and blue lotus flowers. His long toenails are at the right height for scratching the top of my head. I crane my neck to stare at his ruby lips. They are tightly pursed, refusing to tell me the whispered secrets of travelers before me. 4. Which best describes the author’s impression on the way to Dunhuang? A. Peaceful. B. Burdened. C. Deserted. D. Modernized. 5. How did the decline of the Silk Road trade affect Dunhuang? A. It led to the construction of more caves. B. It caused Dunhuang to become timeless. C. It attracted more and more tourists to Dunhuang. D. It resulted in Dunhuang being forgotten over time. 6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To explain the significance of the cave. B. To convey the author’s sense of wonder. C. To highlight the cultural value of the cave. D. To provide specific description of the cave. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Caves of Faith B. Echoes of the cave C. Secrets of the Silk Road D. Guardians of the Golden Light 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇游记。文章主要讲述了作者前往敦煌的沿途风光，介绍了莫高窟的历史背景、洞窟内的壁画与佛像。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The road, straight and smooth, leads towards civilization. All around us, the flat nothingness is interrupted only by electricity pylons (输电线塔), stretching into the distance like children holding jump ropes. We pass ghost-town service stations with empty convenience stores stocked with drinks, noodles, and vacuum-packed chicken feet. (这条路笔直平坦，通往文明深处。环顾四周，广袤的空旷之地只有一座座输电线塔矗立其间，它们向远方延伸，宛如孩童手持跳绳的模样。我们途经几座宛如鬼城的加油站，站内的便利店空无一人，货架上却还摆放着饮料、方便面和真空包装的鸡爪。)”中的“广袤的空旷之地”、“宛如鬼城的加油站”以及“便利店空无一人”都体现出了荒凉、无人烟的氛围。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, as the Silk Road trade was abandoned in favor of sea routes in the 14th century, Dunhuang was swallowed by the sands of time and knowledge of the caves faded from memory.(然而，到了14世纪，丝绸之路的贸易被弃用，人们转而选择海上航线，敦煌也随之被时间的黄沙掩埋，关于这些洞窟的记忆也渐渐淡出了人们的视野。)”可知，丝绸之路贸易衰落使敦煌被时间的黄沙掩埋，关于它的记忆也逐渐淡出人们的视野，即敦煌逐渐被遗忘。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In Cave 96 sits a nine-story-tall Buddha statue, the third tallest in China. All I can see is the edge of his robes decorated with fierce dragons and blue lotus flowers. His long toenails are at the right height for scratching the top of my head. I crane my neck to stare at his ruby lips. They are tightly pursed, refusing to tell me the whispered secrets of travelers before me.(96号洞窟内坐落着一尊九层高的佛像，这是中国第三高的佛像。我所能看到的，只有佛像衣袍的边角——上面装饰着威风凛凛的龙与蓝色的莲花。佛像修长的脚趾甲刚好到能碰到我头顶的高度。我仰起脖子，凝视着他红宝石般的嘴唇。那嘴唇紧紧抿着，不愿向我透露往日旅人们曾在此低语的秘密。)”可知，在最后一段中，作者详细描写了96号洞窟内九层高佛像的细节，如“佛像衣袍的边角”、“修长的脚趾甲”以及“红宝石般的嘴唇”，都是为了表达作者的惊叹之情。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Then Dunhuang comes into view.(随后，敦煌便映入了眼帘。)”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕敦煌莫高窟展开：先描述前往敦煌的沿途景象，再介绍莫高窟的历史起源、过往商人的祈福用途，最后详细描写洞窟内的壁画与96号洞窟的佛像，主要介绍了莫高窟这一承载信仰的地点。选项A“Caves of Faith(信仰之窟)”与此相符。故选A。 C In recent years electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing. For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Some studies suggest that in regions heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the carbon footprint of EVs during their operation may not be much lower than that of conventional vehicles. Nevertheless, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, EVs may have a much greater potential for environmental benefits than many people realize. The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced. Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind. But as the world transitions to cleaner energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly. Moreover, EVs contribute to reducing air pollution in urban areas. They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which directly improves local air quality and reduces the health risks associated with breathing polluted air. Automakers and policymakers face the challenge of maximizing the environmental benefits of EVs while minimizing their negative impacts. The ideal solution would be to rapidly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid and improve the efficiency of battery recycling. However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long-term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical. The first measure is promoting battery recycling. Starting in 2027, some countries will require automakers to take back used EV batteries and recycle at least 70% of the materials. This practice should be adopted more widely. The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations. By strategically placing charging stations near renewable energy sources, the environmental impact of charging can be further reduced. Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals. Strengthening these approaches would help transform EVs from potential environmental concerns into powerful tools for environmental protection. 8. What is the main concern about electric vehicles? A. Their high production costs. B. Their limited driving range. C. Their potential negative environmental impact. D. Their competition with traditional gasoline- powered cars. 9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The environmental benefits of EVs are already fully realized. B. The environmental advantages of EVs depend on the source of electricity. C. renewable energy currently accounts for most of the electricity used for EV charging. D. EVs have no impact on reducing air pollution in urban areas. 10. Which solution is more practical to maximize the environmental benefits of EVs? A. Achieving a fully renewable power grid globally immediately. B. Banning the use of fossil-fuel-powered power plants. C. Optimizing the location of charging stations near renewable energy sources. D. Encouraging consumers to buy more gasoline-powered cars in the short term. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Electric Vehicles: A Sure-Fire Solution for the Environment B. The High Cost of Electric Vehicle Batteries C. Electric Vehicles: A Threat or a Hope for the Environment? D. The Future of Traditional Gasoline-Powered Cars 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章围绕电动汽车对环境的影响展开讨论，既提到了人们对其环境影响的担忧，也阐述了其潜在的环境效益，探讨了电动汽车到底是对环境的威胁还是希望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段中“However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing. For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. (然而，人们越来越担心它们对环境的实际影响。例如，电动汽车电池的生产需要大量的稀土金属，而稀土金属的开采会导致森林砍伐、土壤侵蚀和水污染。此外，用于给电动汽车充电的电力通常来自燃烧化石燃料的发电厂，排放大量温室气体)”明确指出人们对电动汽车的主要担忧是其对环境的实际影响，包括电池生产带来的资源开采问题以及充电用电产生的温室气体排放等。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。第二段中“The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced. Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind.(国际清洁交通理事会（ICCT）预测，随着可再生能源在发电中所占份额的增加，电动汽车的环境优势将更加明显。目前，在一些地区，用于电动汽车充电的电力中只有约20%来自太阳能和风能等可再生能源)”提到，国际清洁交通委员会预测随着可再生能源在发电中占比增加，电动汽车的环境优势将更明显，且目前部分地区电动汽车充电用电只有约20%来自可再生能源，由此可推断电动汽车的环境优势取决于电力来源。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long - term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical.(然而，由于在全球范围内实现完全可再生电网仍然是一个长期目标，因此专注于三个更直接的措施更为实际)”和第四段中“The first measure is promoting battery recycling.(第一项措施是促进电池回收)”、“The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations.(二是优化充电站的位置)”以及“Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals.(第三，汽车制造商必须加大研发投入，改进电池技术，使其更节能，减少对稀土金属的需求)”提到，实现全球完全可再生能源电网是长期目标，更实际的措施包括促进电池回收、优化充电站位置和改进电池技术等。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing.(近年来，电动汽车（EVs）作为一种更环保的替代传统汽油动力汽车而获得了显著的普及。然而，人们越来越担心它们对环境的实际影响)”可知，文章围绕电动汽车对环境的影响展开讨论，既提到了人们对其环境影响的担忧，也阐述了其潜在的环境效益，探讨了电动汽车到底是对环境的威胁还是希望，C选项“电动汽车：对环境的威胁还是希望？”符合文章主旨。故选C。 D Civilization, we like to think, is built on memory. We preserve archives, write histories, and teach our children the past—all to avoid repeating mistakes. Yet a 2023 study by the Institute for Historical Research (IHR) tells a different story: 78% of major societal shifts (from the Industrial Revolution to digitalization) were accompanied by “strategic forgetting” — the deliberate sidelining of inconvenient truths. Consider the 19th-century expansion of railroads. Historians now agree that the “age of progress” narrative ignored the displacement of 1.2 million rural families and the destruction of 300,000 acres of ancient woodland. Why? Because remembering these costs would have slowed the “forward march” of industry. Sociologist Ulrich Beck called this “the amnesia of modernity”: we celebrate innovation while erasing its human and environmental price tags. This forgetting isn’t a flaw in civilization — it’s a feature. Phillips argues that memory, if unfiltered, paralyzes. A 2022 psychological experiment at Cambridge University found that people who recalled every detail of past failures were 43% less likely to take risks, even when risks were necessary for growth. “Civilization needs both memory and forgetting,” Phillips writes. “The problem isn’t forgetting itself, but forgetting by design — when those in power decide which truths disappear.” Take the 2008 financial crisis. The IHR study notes that banks and policymakers quickly framed the crisis as a “one-time glitch” rather than a result of decades of unregulated greed. This strategic forgetting allowed the same risky practices to return by 2015. “We don’t just forget the past,” Phillips concludes. “We forget that we’re forgetting — and that’s how cycles of harm repeat.” 12. What did the 2023 IHR study find? A. Memory builds civilization. B. Shifts need forgetting. C. 78% shifts had forgetting. D. Mistakes repeat often. 13. Why was railroad harm ignored? A. To speed industry. B. To protect families. C. To save woodlands. D. To avoid costs. 14. What’s Phillips’ attitude to “strategic forgetting”? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Confused. 15. What can we infer about the 2008 crisis? A. It was a one-time glitch. B. Greed caused it. C. Risks were necessary. D. Banks changed practices. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出人们普遍认为文明建立在记忆之上，但2023年历史研究所的研究显示78%的重大社会变革都伴随“策略性遗忘”，并通过铁路扩张、2008年金融危机等案例，探讨了策略性遗忘的存在原因、影响及问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet a 2023 study by the Institute for Historical Research (IHR) tells a different story: 78% of major societal shifts (from the Industrial Revolution to digitalization) were accompanied by “strategic forgetting” — the deliberate sidelining of inconvenient truths.(然而，历史研究所（IHR）2023年的一项研究讲述了一个不同的故事：78% 的重大社会变革（从工业革命到数字化）都伴随着 “策略性遗忘”——故意搁置不便言说的事实)”可知，2023年IHR的研究发现78%的社会变革都存在策略性遗忘。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Historians now agree that the “age of progress” narrative ignored the displacement of 1.2 million rural families and the destruction of 300,000 acres of ancient woodland. Why? Because remembering these costs would have slowed the “forward march” of industry.(历史学家们现在一致认为，“进步时代”的说法忽视了120万农村家庭的流离失所和30万英亩古老林地的破坏。为什么？因为记住这些代价会减缓工业的“前进步伐”)”可知，铁路扩张带来的危害被忽视，是为了加快工业发展速度。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Phillips writes. “The problem isn’t forgetting itself, but forgetting by design — when those in power decide which truths disappear.”(菲利普斯写道：“文明既需要记忆，也需要遗忘。问题不在于遗忘本身，而在于蓄意为之的遗忘——即当权者决定哪些真相该被掩盖。”)”可知，菲利普斯认为文明需要遗忘，但批判由当权者主导的蓄意遗忘，其态度是批判的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The IHR study notes that banks and policymakers quickly framed the crisis as a “one-time glitch” rather than a result of decades of unregulated greed.(IHR 的研究指出，银行和政策制定者迅速将这场危机定性为“一次性故障”，而非数十年不受监管的贪婪所导致的结果)”可推断，2008年金融危机实际上是由贪婪引起的，只是被刻意掩盖了。故选B。 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。 “Apple”, “tweet”, “cloud”, “stream” — words that formed pictures of the countryside are now closely connected with our technological world. ____16____ Similarly, while in the 1990s 100% of mentions of “stream” meant “a little river”, that has now fallen to 36%. “A lot of new tech is abstract and difficult to understand, which makes it ripe for metaphor,” Dr Robbie Love, a linguist who did the study, said. And “simple and vivid” words helped to “express something harder to explain”. He said, “____17____ ‘Stream’ nicely describes the idea of information flowing into our devices.” Original uses of the word “cloud” dropped by nearly a quarter, with children’s conversation switching away from the natural meanings of words in their vocabulary from about the age of 10. “This change was neither a bad nor a good thing. ____18____ We could drink a ‘can’ of lemonade or ‘can’ play the piano, for example,” Dr Love said. But single-meaning natural words, such as “lawn”, “twig”, “blackbird”, “fishing”, “paddle”, “sand”, “paw” and “shell”, also decreased in frequency among young people. National Trust’s regional director, Andy Beer, said, “____19____” “Nature connection isn’t just about playing outside; it means using all the senses — actively noticing nature, such as how gorse grows in the wild, how fog can cling to your hair, how a spider’s web can sparkle in the morning.” Mr Beer said helping children spend more time in nature “isn’t about ‘teaching’ kids or just getting them to observe. ____20____” “If we can strengthen the connection with nature, we can strengthen the benefits to our wellbeing,” he said. A. Words often take more than one meaning. B. As a nation we are losing our connection with nature. C. It makes it easy for people to talk about tech they don’t understand D. Uses of the word “apple” meaning “a fruit” now have increased greatly. E. It is bad for the next generations to forget the original meaning of a word. F. It’s about helping them think, feel and relate to nature, doing things that help them connect. G. A study suggests, just 1% of uses of the word “tweet” in conversations now refer to “birdsong”. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“apple”“tweet”等原本与乡村自然相关的词汇，如今更多与科技领域关联，这种词汇含义的转变反映出年轻人与自然的连接逐渐弱化，同时探讨了这一现象的影响及加强自然连接的重要性。 【16题详解】 根据上文“words that formed pictures of the countryside are now closely connected with our technological world.(那些能让人联想到乡村画面的词汇，现在与我们的科技世界紧密相连)”以及下文“Similarly, while in the 1990s 100% of mentions of “stream” meant “a little river”, that has now fallen to 36%.(同样，在20世纪90年代，100%的“stream”指代“小河”，而现在这一比例已降至36%)”可知，此空需列举一个类似“stream”的词汇，体现其原义使用比例下降的情况。G选项“A study suggests, just 1% of uses of the word “tweet” in conversations now refer to “birdsong”.(一项研究表明，现在对话中“tweet”一词只有1%指代“鸟鸣”。)”以具体数据体现“tweet”原义使用减少，与下文“stream”的例子形成“同样”的并列关系，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“And “simple and vivid” words helped to “express something harder to explain”.(而“简单生动”的词汇有助于“表达难以解释的事物”)”以及下文“‘Stream’ nicely describes the idea of information flowing into our devices.(‘Stream’很好地描述了信息流入我们设备的概念)”可知，此空需说明这类词汇对描述陌生科技事物的作用。C选项“It makes it easy for people to talk about tech they don’t understand.(它让人们更容易谈论他们不理解的科技事物)”承接上文“表达难以解释的事物”，且下文“stream”的例子正是对该内容的具体佐证，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“This change was neither a bad nor a good thing.(这种变化既不是坏事也不是好事)”以及下文“We could drink a ‘can’ of lemonade or ‘can’ play the piano, for example.(例如，我们可以喝一‘罐’柠檬水，或者‘能’弹钢琴。)”可知，下文例子体现了词汇的多义性，此空需引出“词汇多义”这一观点。A选项“Words often take more than one meaning.(词汇通常有不止一个意思)”直接点出词汇多义的特点，下文例子正是对该观点的说明，符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But single-meaning natural words, such as “lawn”, “twig”, “blackbird”, “fishing”, “paddle”, “sand”, “paw” and “shell”, also decreased in frequency among young people.(但像 “草坪”“细枝”“乌鸫”“钓鱼”“船桨”“沙子”“爪子” 和 “贝壳” 这类单义自然类词汇，在年轻人中的使用频率也有所下降)”可知，此空需总结这一现象反映的问题。B选项“As a nation we are losing our connection with nature.(作为一个国家，我们正在失去与自然的连接)”直接呼应自然词汇使用减少的现象，点明其背后体现的核心问题，符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Mr Beer said helping children spend more time in nature “isn’t about ‘teaching’ kids or just getting them to observe.(比尔先生说，帮助孩子们花更多时间在大自然中“不是‘教’孩子们，也不仅仅是让他们观察。”)”可知，此空需补充帮助孩子亲近自然的真正目的，与上文形成对比。F选项“It’s about helping them think, feel and relate to nature, doing things that help them connect.(而是帮助他们思考、感受并与自然建立联系，做一些能帮助他们建立连接的事情)”以“而是”承接上文，明确亲近自然的核心目标，符合语境。故选F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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: by watching the annual August heavenly wonder, the meteor (流星) shower in night.

The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus. 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。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness.” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!" Peter added.

The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up. Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean.

All around us, the flat nothingness is interrupted only by electricity pylons (输电线塔), stretching into the distance like children holding jump ropes. We pass ghost-town service stations with empty convenience stores stocked with drinks, noodles, and vacuum-packed chicken feet. Then Dunhuang comes into view. One site that traders would have almost certainly visited is the Mogao Caves. These 492 caves were hand-carved into a cliff face because a Buddhist monk named Le Zun had a vision of 1,000 Buddhas bathed in golden light at the site in 366 C.E. The interior walls were painted with breathtaking murals and the niches (壁龛) filled with statues of Buddha. Merchants would pass by to pray for protection from the warring nomads (游牧民族) and murderous thieves on the path. However, as the Silk Road trade was abandoned in favor of sea routes in the 14th century, Dunhuang was swallowed by the sands of time and knowledge of the caves faded from memory. I walk along an avenue of silver poplar trees. To my left, the caves look similar to a row of prison blocks: squat square doorframes, each numbered, and set into the concrete. But as I dip my head to enter, a colorful dreamworld of dragons, phoenixes, and petal-scattering apsaras (飞天女神) unfolds. The hands of our guide make shadow puppets on the wall as she gestures in front of the torchlight. In Cave 96 sits a nine-story-tall Buddha statue, the third tallest in China. All I can see is the edge of his robes decorated with fierce dragons and blue lotus flowers. His long toenails are at the right height for scratching the top of my head. I crane my neck to stare at his ruby lips. They are tightly pursed, refusing to tell me the whispered secrets of travelers before me. 4. Which best describes the author’s impression on the way to Dunhuang? A. Peaceful. B. Burdened. C. Deserted. D. Modernized. 5. How did the decline of the Silk Road trade affect Dunhuang? A It led to the construction of more caves. B. It caused Dunhuang to become timeless. C. It attracted more and more tourists to Dunhuang. D. It resulted in Dunhuang being forgotten over time. 6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To explain the significance of the cave. B. To convey the author’s sense of wonder. C. To highlight the cultural value of the cave. D. To provide specific description of the cave. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Caves of Faith B. Echoes of the cave C. Secrets of the Silk Road D. Guardians of the Golden Light C In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing. For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Some studies suggest that in regions heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the carbon footprint of EVs during their operation may not be much lower than that of conventional vehicles. Nevertheless, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, EVs may have a much greater potential for environmental benefits than many people realize. The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced. Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind. But as the world transitions to cleaner energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly. Moreover, EVs contribute to reducing air pollution in urban areas. They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which directly improves local air quality and reduces the health risks associated with breathing polluted air. Automakers and policymakers face the challenge of maximizing the environmental benefits of EVs while minimizing their negative impacts. The ideal solution would be to rapidly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid and improve the efficiency of battery recycling. However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long-term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical. The first measure is promoting battery recycling. Starting in 2027, some countries will require automakers to take back used EV batteries and recycle at least 70% of the materials. This practice should be adopted more widely. The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations. By strategically placing charging stations near renewable energy sources, the environmental impact of charging can be further reduced. Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals. Strengthening these approaches would help transform EVs from potential environmental concerns into powerful tools for environmental protection. 8. What is the main concern about electric vehicles? A. Their high production costs. B. Their limited driving range. C. Their potential negative environmental impact. D. Their competition with traditional gasoline- powered cars. 9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The environmental benefits of EVs are already fully realized. B. The environmental advantages of EVs depend on the source of electricity. C. renewable energy currently accounts for most of the electricity used for EV charging. D. EVs have no impact on reducing air pollution in urban areas. 10. Which solution is more practical to maximize the environmental benefits of EVs? A. Achieving a fully renewable power grid globally immediately. B. Banning the use of fossil-fuel-powered power plants. C. Optimizing the location of charging stations near renewable energy sources. D. Encouraging consumers to buy more gasoline-powered cars in the short term. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Electric Vehicles: A Sure-Fire Solution for the Environment B. The High Cost of Electric Vehicle Batteries C. Electric Vehicles: A Threat or a Hope for the Environment? D. The Future of Traditional Gasoline-Powered Cars D Civilization, we like to think, is built on memory. We preserve archives, write histories, and teach our children the past—all to avoid repeating mistakes. Yet a 2023 study by the Institute for Historical Research (IHR) tells a different story: 78% of major societal shifts (from the Industrial Revolution to digitalization) were accompanied by “strategic forgetting” — the deliberate sidelining of inconvenient truths. Consider the 19th-century expansion of railroads. Historians now agree that the “age of progress” narrative ignored the displacement of 1.2 million rural families and the destruction of 300,000 acres of ancient woodland. Why? Because remembering these costs would have slowed the “forward march” of industry. Sociologist Ulrich Beck called this “the amnesia of modernity”: we celebrate innovation while erasing its human and environmental price tags. This forgetting isn’t a flaw in civilization — it’s a feature. Phillips argues that memory, if unfiltered, paralyzes. A 2022 psychological experiment at Cambridge University found that people who recalled every detail of past failures were 43% less likely to take risks, even when risks were necessary for growth. “Civilization needs both memory and forgetting,” Phillips writes. “The problem isn’t forgetting itself, but forgetting by design — when those in power decide which truths disappear.” Take the 2008 financial crisis. The IHR study notes that banks and policymakers quickly framed the crisis as a “one-time glitch” rather than a result of decades of unregulated greed. This strategic forgetting allowed the same risky practices to return by 2015. “We don’t just forget the past,” Phillips concludes. “We forget that we’re forgetting — and that’s how cycles of harm repeat.” 12. What did the 2023 IHR study find? A. Memory builds civilization. B. Shifts need forgetting. C. 78% shifts had forgetting. D. Mistakes repeat often. 13. Why was railroad harm ignored? A. To speed industry. B. To protect families. C. To save woodlands. D. To avoid costs. 14. What’s Phillips’ attitude to “strategic forgetting”? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Confused. 15. What can we infer about the 2008 crisis? A. It was a one-time glitch. B. Greed caused it. C. Risks were necessary. D. Banks changed practices. 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。 “Apple”, “tweet”, “cloud”, “stream” — words that formed pictures of the countryside are now closely connected with our technological world. ____16____ Similarly, while in the 1990s 100% of mentions of “stream” meant “a little river”, that has now fallen to 36%. “A lot of new tech is abstract and difficult to understand, which makes it ripe for metaphor,” Dr Robbie Love, a linguist who did the study, said. And “simple and vivid” words helped to “express something harder to explain”. He said, “____17____ ‘Stream’ nicely describes the idea of information flowing into our devices.” Original uses of the word “cloud” dropped by nearly a quarter, with children’s conversation switching away from the natural meanings of words in their vocabulary from about the age of 10. “This change was neither a bad nor a good thing. ____18____ We could drink a ‘can’ of lemonade or ‘can’ play the piano, for example,” Dr Love said. But single-meaning natural words, such as “lawn”, “twig”, “blackbird”, “fishing”, “paddle”, “sand”, “paw” and “shell”, also decreased in frequency among young people. National Trust’s regional director, Andy Beer, said, “____19____” “Nature connection isn’t just about playing outside; it means using all the senses — actively noticing nature, such as how gorse grows in the wild, how fog can cling to your hair, how a spider’s web can sparkle in the morning.” Mr Beer said helping children spend more time in nature “isn’t about ‘teaching’ kids or just getting them to observe. ____20____” “If we can strengthen the connection with nature, we can strengthen the benefits to our wellbeing,” he said. A. Words often take more than one meaning. B. As a nation we are losing our connection with nature. C. It makes it easy for people to talk about tech they don’t understand D. Uses of the word “apple” meaning “a fruit” now have increased greatly. E. It is bad for the next generations to forget the original meaning of a word. F. It’s about helping them think, feel and relate to nature, doing things that help them connect. G. A study suggests, just 1% of uses of the word “tweet” in conversations now refer to “birdsong”. 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: by watching the annual August heavenly wonder, the meteor (流星) shower in night.

The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus. 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。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
