These sea mammals are not only skilled hunters but also unexpected rescuers. A remarkable event occurred in 2023 off the coast of New Zealand. Twelve-year-old Tim was swimming near a reef when a sudden tide swept him into open water. Struggling against the powerful currents, he grew exhausted and began shouting for help. Just then, a po d of six dolphins surrounded him. They formed a protective circle, slapping their tails loudly on the water's surface. This unusual behavior caught the attention of a lifeguard onshore, who immediately sent a rescue boat. The dolphins stayed with Tim for 40 minutes until he was safely pulled aboard. Later, marine biologists confirmed the tail-slapping was likely meant to scare away nearby sharks.: Scientists explain that dolphins’ rescue behavior stems from(起源于) their strong social bonds. In the wild, they frequently support sick or injured group members by pushing them to the surface to breathe. Some researchers suggest dolphins might view humans as part of their social network due to our similar size and shape. Additionally, their advanced communication skills—— using clicks, whistles, and body language— allow them to coordinate group actions effectively. However, marine experts emphasize that dolphins remain wild animals. Approaching them can be dangerous for both parties. Feeding dolphins may cause them to associate humans with food, leading to aggressive behavior. Moreover, human contact can spread diseases to these sensitive creatures. The best way to admire dolphins is to observe them from boats or shorelines without interaction. ( )33. How did the dolphins alert the lifeguard? A. By jumping high out of the water. B. By making loud tail-slapping sounds. C. By pulling Tim's clothing. D. By biting a rescue rope. ( )34. The word “currents” in paragraph 1 refers to . A. electrical energy B. strong sea movements C. underwater plants D. fishing nets ( )35. What do scientists compare humans to in dolphin social groups? A. Food providers. B. Dangerous enemies. C. Group members. D. Training partners. ( )36. Why is feeding dolphins discouraged? A. It makes them lazy hunters. B. It changes their natural behavior. C. It pollutes the ocean. D. It costs too much money. ( )37. What is the main topic of the article? A. How dolphins hunt in groups. B. Why dolphins sometimes save humans. C. The history of dolphin research. D. Methods to protect sharks. B.

Last month, my friends and I decided to investigate its mystery. As we 39 the rusted door open, cobwebs brushed our faces, and the smell of damp wood filled the air. Inside, we found dusty gears frozen in time. Suddenly, Mia noticed something 40 ——a small metal box hidden beneath fallen bricks. With trembling(颤抖的) hands, I lifted the lid, 41 yellowed pages filled with mathematical equations. We soon realized these were blueprints for a unique chime(鸣响) mechanism designed by the tower's original architect in 1927. The complex calculations showed how weather patterns could 42 the clock's accuracy. “This isn't just machinery,” whispered Tom. “It's a masterpiece of engineering!” Determined to restore the tower's honor, we spent weeks 43 historical documents and consulting experts. Our persistence paid off when the mayor approved the restoration project. Now, as the repaired clock chimes echo through the town at dusk, I understand that true discoveries require not just courage, but also 44 to preserve forgotten wisdom. ( )38.

These greenhouses are covered with semi-transparent solar panels that allow sunlight to pass through for photosynthesis(光合作用) while also capturing energy to power the greenhouse’ s systems. This dual-purpose technology not only reduces reliance on external electricity but also helps farmers cut costs and lower their carbon footprints.装 订 线 Traditional greenhouses consume large amounts of energy for heating, cooling, and lighting, contributing to high operational expenses and environmental harm. The new solar greenhouses, however, can produce up to 80% of their own energy needs, making them far more efficient. Early tests show that crops like tomatoes and lettuce grow just as well under these panels as they do in conventional greenhouses. One challenge is that the solar panels slightly reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the plants, which could affect certain light-sensitive crops. Dr. Elena Rodriguez, the project leader, explains that her team is adjusting the transparency levels of the panels to balance energy production and plant growth. They are also testing different crop varieties to determine which ones thrive best in these conditions. If widely adopted, solar greenhouses could transform agriculture by making farms more energy-independent and eco-friendly. This innovation could be especially useful in remote areas with limited access to electricity, helping farmers grow food more sustainably. Task 1 Answer the questions 45. What do the solar panels on these greenhouses do besides generating electricity? 46. How much of their own energy needs can the new solar greenhouses produce? 47. What is one downside of using solar panels on greenhouses? 48. What is Dr. Rodriguez's team doing to improve the technology? 49. Where could solar greenhouses be particularly beneficial? Task 2 50. Explain how solar-powered greenhouses help farmers.(不超过30个词) Ⅵ. Writing.(写作。)(共15分) 51.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to the question you hear.(根据你听到的短文,选出最恰当的答案，短文播放两遍。) Last term, I learned an important lesson about the power of good communication. It all started during a group project in English class. My teacher assigned a team presentation, and I was grouped with Lisa and Mark. At first, we were excited, but soon, problems arose. Lisa was quiet and rarely shared her ideas, while Mark kept interrupting others, insisting on doing things his way. I felt frustrated but stayed silent, afraid of causing an argument. As a result, our teamwork was disorganized, and our first practice went badly. Realizing we needed to change, I gathered my courage and called a team meeting. “Let's listen to each other properly,” I suggested. I asked Lisa directly for her thoughts and reminded Mark to let others speak. To my surprise, Lisa had great ideas but was too shy to share them earlier. Mark apologized and agreed to cooperate. We divided tasks fairly and practiced together patiently. On presentation day, our teamwork was smooth. Lisa spoke confidently, Mark contributed without dominating, and I felt proud of how far we'd come. Afterward, our teacher praised us not just for the content, but for our improvement in collaboration. That day, I learned that communication isn't just about talking—— it's about listening, respecting differences, and having the courage to speak up kindly. It's a lesson I' ll never forget. C. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences.(听短文,完成下列句子,每空格不超过三词,短文播放两遍。) Music is an important part of our lives.
