Amina Hassan is a five-year-old girl from Arlaadi IDP (internally displaced people) camp on the outskirts of Dhusamareeb town in Galmudug state, Somalia. Amina and her family left their home due to drought in 2021 and settled in the camp where they depend on humanitarian support. Despite the challenges she has gone through, Amina’s bright spirit has never shaken.
Every morning, Amina wakes up early, eager to go to the temporary learning center set up in the camp. The center is a place where children like Amina can continue their education and dream of a better future. Amina loves going to school as it provides her with a sense of normalcy and hope.
At the center, Amina’s eyes light up as she listens to the teachers share stories and reveal new things. She is diligent, always eager to learn. Amina’s favorite subject is mathematics, and she is adept at solving simple problems. Amina dreams of becoming a teacher one day. She said, “I help other children like me receive an education and realize their full potential.”
As Amina walks back to her home after a day spent at the center, she is filled with a sense of pride and determination. She knows that education is her key to a brighter future, and she is grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow during adversity (逆境). Amina’s story in the Arlaadi IDP camp is not just one of struggle, but also of resilience, hope, and the power of education to transform lives.
The Arlaadi IDP temporary learning center has five teachers operating two classrooms, covering a total of 149 students. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) provides the children with clean, safe drinking water, learning materials, and a monthly salary for the teachers, thanks to funding from the global partnership for education.
4. What led to Amina’s staying at Arlaadi IDP camp?
A. A natural disaster. B. Her bright spirit.
C. Her love for study. D. The poverty of her family.
5. What does the temporary learning center mean to Amina?
A. A school with friends. B. A game to play. C. A place of hope. D. A way to see the world.
6. Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “is adept at” in paragraph 3?

Forests play a crucial role in promoting health and well-being, but not all forests provide the same benefits. A large-scale international study, co-led by the University of Surrey and the University of Ghent, demonstrates how specific forest characteristics — such as canopy density (树冠密度) and tree species diversity — can affect various health outcomes.
The research investigated 164 forests across 5 European countries, offering valuable insights for forest management and urban planning. The study examined 7 ecological characteristics of forests and their influence on human health.
Tree species diversity was found to have a limited but positive effect on human health and well-being. Increasing tree species diversity is therefore considered a safe and beneficial intervention for forest managers, which also provides multiple co-benefits beyond human health, such as supporting associated non-tree biodiversity.
Forest structures — particularly, the canopy structure — were found to have the strongest health impact, both with their own benefits and disadvantages. Dense canopy reduces heat stress by providing more shade and creating a more stable microclimate, while also improving air quality by increasing leaf surface area for fine particulate matter deposition (细颗粒物沉积) — both crucial elements in urban areas where heatwaves and airborne pollutants are more frequent.
On the other hand, a dense canopy can also increase the risk of Lyme disease — as ticks (蜱虫) like it in wet environment — and lead to less light reaching the forest floor, which can slow the growth of medicinal plants, affecting their potential health benefits.
“Our study shows that forests generally provide a mental health benefit, reducing anxiety and stress, regardless of their biodiversity or structure. Contact with forests could be prescribed (开处方) by the National Health Service (NHS), as research shows that NHS nature prescriptions are effective at improving mental health,” says Dr Melissa Marselle, a lecturer in Environmental Psychology.
8. Which factor determines the health benefits provided by a forest?
A. The size of the forest. B. The history of the forest.
C. The height of the forest. D. The species diversity of the forest.
9. What is a benefit of dense forest canopy?
A It increases sunlight for forest plants. B. It prevents all air pollutants effectively.
C. It lowers the risk of heat-related issues. D. It reduces the sunlight that attracts ticks.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of Lyme disease. B. Downside of thick canopy.
C. The growth of medicinal plants. D. The potential health benefits of canopy.
11. What advice may Dr Melissa give?
A. Including forest visits in mental health treatment plans.
B. Linking forest access to non-tree biodiversity plans.
C. Prioritizing forest biodiversity for anxiety reduction.
D. Expanding canopy coverage to maximize stress relief.

University of Hawaii scientists are among a team of researchers who have discovered an innovative way to help adapt food crops around the world to Earth’s rapidly changing climate. A new study published in Nature Climate Change reveals how plant seed banks, home to millions of genetically diverse plants around the world, can help speed up the process of breeding (培育) crops better suited for climate change.
“Climate-driven pressures on food crops touch every country on our planet and this technique holds promise for making more use of our global seed banks,” said co-author Michael Kantar of the UH Manoa College of tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience(CTAHR).
According to Kantar, plant seed banks are essential for protecting the genetic (基因的) diversity of food crops. These “living libraries” store seeds and other genetic material, providing a vital resource for plant breeders working to develop new crop varieties that have a range of characteristics from drought resistance to disease tolerance (忍耐力).
The researchers used sorghum (高粱), a grain grown for food, fuel, and livestock feed, to test a new method called environmental genetic selection. It combines DNA data with climate information to predict which plants are best suited for future conditions.
“It can be applied to any crop that has the right data, including sorghum, barley, cannabis, pepper and dozens of other crops,” said Kantar.
The approach also saves time. Instead of testing thousands of plants in the field, scientists use a smaller, diverse“ mini-core” group to forecast how crops will perform in different environments. This helps breeders quickly select the best parents for new, climate-resilient varieties.
“This method will help us keep pace with the hotter temperatures and increased risk of flooding from Earth’s changing climate and help develop new varieties to ensure food security,” Kantar said.
Researchers discovered that nations with high sorghum use may need genetic resources from other countries to effectively adapt to climate change, stressing the value of global teamwork in securing the world’s food supply.
12. What is the purpose of the study of University of Hawaii?
A. To stop climate change. B. To understand plant seed banks.
C. To speed up crop harvest. D. To secure food supply.
13. Why are seed banks referred to as “ living libraries”?
A. They replace traditional farming methods.
B. They provide genetic resources for new crops.
C They store rare plants from around the world.
D. They protect crops from drought or disease.
14 Which word best describes environmental genetic selection?
A. Productive. B. Unpractical. C. Inexpensive. D. Inconvenient.
15 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Strategies for Improving Crop Yields
B. Innovative Methods for Storing Plant Seeds
C. “Living Libraries” That Fight Climate Change
D. The Role of Global Seed Banks in Agriculture

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。
I’ve been studying attention for several years now, and this statement that the quality of your attention determines the quality of your life has become my north star. Here’s why I believe it’s true.
Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every moment, you’re flooded by information, thoughts, feelings, and impulses (冲动). What you focus on, whether by choice or by force, becomes your reality. The things you attend to register as targets in your brain and shape your behaviour. ____16____
That’s why two people can sit in the same room, experience the same events, yet have completely different days. One notices the annoyances and frustrations and the things going wrong. ____17____ It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experiences.
Concentration really is the foundation of everything meaningful. You can’t read deeply, listen fully, learn effectively, or connect authentically without the ability to direct and maintain your attention.
Most knowledge workers who struggle to be productive think they have time management problems. ____18____ You could have all the time in the world, but if your attention is broken, constantly controlled by notifications and impulses, that time becomes worthless.
____19____ And like any skill, it can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental exercise. Every time you resist the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength.
In a world where big tech is spending billions upon billions of dollars in tracking and breaking your attention, developing this skill gives you an incredible advantage over others. ____20____ While others are controlled by their impulses, you can choose your focus. When AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t replace.
A. Attention is a skill.
B. Everything else fades into background noise.
C Your attention is the most valuable resource you have.
D. I think they actually have attention management problems.
E. The other sees opportunities, moments of beauty and reasons to be grateful.
F. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep.
G. People who can maintain focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement.

An elderly friend wrote to me recently. She was discouraged about her ____21____ health. But the thing that ____22____ her most was that she was no longer able to volunteer and help her ____23____ the way she used to. At the end of the ____24____, she asked me, “What can I do to make this world better at my age?”
I ____25____ her back that every little thing she does can make this world better, and that even the briefest smile can change a life. And I shared a ____26____ that I’d read recently. A young man had ____27____ on life. He had become so filled with sadness and ____28____ that he decided to go to his apartment and let everything go to hell. As he was walking home he stopped at a corner to wait for a car to ____29____. As the car drove slowly by, the woman behind the ____30____ looked directly at him and flashed him a huge smile. That smile was so warm, so joyful, and so caring that it ____31____ him that there was still some goodness left in the world, and he decided not to ____32____ his life but rather to try and live it fully again.
I reminded my friend that while we all try to do big things in this world, it is ____33____ the little things we do each day that make a difference. A shared smile, a caring word, or an act of kindness can all help to ____34____ a heart, uplift a soul and change a life. In the end, it is these things that ____35____ the world and us.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My great idea to turn my family’s boring backyard into a flourishing vegetable garden was eventually a disaster. After two weeks of working the land, all I had to show for my efforts were a few sad-looking carrot tops and an impressive forest of weeds. I stared at the muddy field, feeling defeated. My dream of serving homegrown food on a plate to my family and giving my parents a big surprise was fading away. Seeing my disappointed face, my parents thought of Mr Flanagan, a retired agriculture expert who lived next door with his wife, to help.
That’s when Mr Flanagan appeared. “It must have been a bit tough to get started, right?” he said, not with criticism, but with a twinkle in his eye. I nodded silently. Then he offered to help, not by taking over, but by teaching. In the following days, our afternoons became lessons in “listening” to the land. He showed me how to test the soil’s pH, calling it a health check-up. He explained why gentle hands were needed for these young carrot plants and taught me the magic of companion planting (混栽) for tomatoes, a way to let plants protect each other by using their natural properties. The work was no longer just hard labor. It became a fascinating journey of understanding the land and its secrets. There was no doubt that some time later, the garden exploded with life under our care.
One day, I harvested enough for a full meal, which was one of the proudest things in my life. I decided to make a dish with a fresh tomato sauce and a side of roasted carrots. As I washed the fresh vegetables, I felt a deep connection to them. I had worked this land, and now it would feed us. I carefully arranged the food on a large plate, my heart swelling with pride.

Forests play a crucial role in promoting health and well-being, but not all forests provide the same benefits. A large-scale international study, co-led by the University of Surrey and the University of Ghent, demonstrates how specific forest characteristics — such as canopy density (树冠密度) and tree species diversity — can affect various health outcomes.
The research investigated 164 forests across 5 European countries, offering valuable insights for forest management and urban planning. The study examined 7 ecological characteristics of forests and their influence on human health.
Tree species diversity was found to have a limited but positive effect on human health and well-being. Increasing tree species diversity is therefore considered a safe and beneficial intervention for forest managers, which also provides multiple co-benefits beyond human health, such as supporting associated non-tree biodiversity.
Forest structures — particularly, the canopy structure — were found to have the strongest health impact, both with their own benefits and disadvantages. Dense canopy reduces heat stress by providing more shade and creating a more stable microclimate, while also improving air quality by increasing leaf surface area for fine particulate matter deposition (细颗粒物沉积) — both crucial elements in urban areas where heatwaves and airborne pollutants are more frequent.
On the other hand, a dense canopy can also increase the risk of Lyme disease — as ticks (蜱虫) like it in wet environment — and lead to less light reaching the forest floor, which can slow the growth of medicinal plants, affecting their potential health benefits.
“Our study shows that forests generally provide a mental health benefit, reducing anxiety and stress, regardless of their biodiversity or structure. Contact with forests could be prescribed (开处方) by the National Health Service (NHS), as research shows that NHS nature prescriptions are effective at improving mental health,” says Dr Melissa Marselle, a lecturer in Environmental Psychology.
8. Which factor determines the health benefits provided by a forest?
A. The size of the forest. B. The history of the forest.
C. The height of the forest. D. The species diversity of the forest.
9. What is a benefit of dense forest canopy?
A. It increases sunlight for forest plants. B. It prevents all air pollutants effectively.
C. It lowers the risk of heat-related issues. D. It reduces the sunlight that attracts ticks.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of Lyme disease. B. Downside of thick canopy.
C. The growth of medicinal plants. D. The potential health benefits of canopy.
11. What advice may Dr Melissa give?
A. Including forest visits in mental health treatment plans.
B. Linking forest access to non-tree biodiversity plans.
C. Prioritizing forest biodiversity for anxiety reduction.
D. Expanding canopy coverage to maximize stress relief.

University of Hawaii scientists are among a team of researchers who have discovered an innovative way to help adapt food crops around the world to Earth’s rapidly changing climate. A new study published in Nature Climate Change reveals how plant seed banks, home to millions of genetically diverse plants around the world, can help speed up the process of breeding (培育) crops better suited for climate change.
“Climate-driven pressures on food crops touch every country on our planet and this technique holds promise for making more use of our global seed banks,” said co-author Michael Kantar of the UH Manoa College of tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience(CTAHR).
According to Kantar, plant seed banks are essential for protecting the genetic (基因的) diversity of food crops. These “living libraries” store seeds and other genetic material, providing a vital resource for plant breeders working to develop new crop varieties that have a range of characteristics from drought resistance to disease tolerance (忍耐力).
The researchers used sorghum (高粱), a grain grown for food, fuel, and livestock feed, to test a new method called environmental genetic selection. It combines DNA data with climate information to predict which plants are best suited for future conditions.
“It can be applied to any crop that has the right data, including sorghum, barley, cannabis, pepper and dozens of other crops,” said Kantar.
The approach also saves time. Instead of testing thousands of plants in the field, scientists use a smaller, diverse“ mini-core” group to forecast how crops will perform in different environments. This helps breeders quickly select the best parents for new, climate-resilient varieties.
“This method will help us keep pace with the hotter temperatures and increased risk of flooding from Earth’s changing climate and help develop new varieties to ensure food security,” Kantar said.
Researchers discovered that nations with high sorghum use may need genetic resources from other countries to effectively adapt to climate change, stressing the value of global teamwork in securing the world’s food supply.
12. What is the purpose of the study of University of Hawaii?
A. To stop climate change. B. To understand plant seed banks.
C. To speed up crop harvest. D. To secure food supply.
13. Why are seed banks referred to as “ living libraries”?
A. They replace traditional farming methods.
B. They provide genetic resources for new crops.
C. They store rare plants from around the world.
D. They protect crops from drought or disease.
14. Which word best describes environmental genetic selection?
A. Productive. B. Unpractical. C. Inexpensive. D. Inconvenient.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Strategies for Improving Crop Yields
B. Innovative Methods for Storing Plant Seeds
C. “Living Libraries” That Fight Climate Change
D. The Role of Global Seed Banks in Agriculture
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C

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。
I’ve been studying attention for several years now, and this statement that the quality of your attention determines the quality of your life has become my north star. Here’s why I believe it’s true.
Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every moment, you’re flooded by information, thoughts, feelings, and impulses (冲动). What you focus on, whether by choice or by force, becomes your reality. The things you attend to register as targets in your brain and shape your behaviour. ____16____
That’s why two people can sit in the same room, experience the same events, yet have completely different days. One notices the annoyances and frustrations and the things going wrong. ____17____ It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experiences.
Concentration really is the foundation of everything meaningful. You can’t read deeply, listen fully, learn effectively, or connect authentically without the ability to direct and maintain your attention.
Most knowledge workers who struggle to be productive think they have time management problems. ____18____ You could have all the time in the world, but if your attention is broken, constantly controlled by notifications and impulses, that time becomes worthless.
____19____ And like any skill, it can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental exercise. Every time you resist the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength.
In a world where big tech is spending billions upon billions of dollars in tracking and breaking your attention, developing this skill gives you an incredible advantage over others. ____20____ While others are controlled by their impulses, you can choose your focus. When AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t replace.
A. Attention is a skill.
B. Everything else fades into background noise.
C. Your attention is the most valuable resource you have.
D. I think they actually have attention management problems.
E. The other sees opportunities, moments of beauty and reasons to be grateful.
F. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep.
G. People who can maintain focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement.

考查动词词义辨析。句意:一个会心的微笑,一句关怀的话语,或一个善意的举动,都能帮助温暖一颗心,振奋一个灵魂,改变一段人生。A. respect尊重;B. warm(使)温暖,变暖和;C. know知道;D. handle处理。“____14____a heart”与后文的“uplift a soul(振奋一个灵魂)”和“change a life(改变一段人生)”并列,且与前文的“shared smile”、“caring word”及“act of kindness”这些温暖的行为相呼应,因此“warm a heart(温暖一颗心)”最贴切。故选B。
【35题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:最终,正是这些事情改变了世界和我们。A. relieve缓解;B. guide引导;C. witness见证;D. change改变。本句中“these things”指前文提到的“A shared smile, a caring word, or an act of kindness”这类微小的美好的行为,结合文中所讲的一个陌生人的微笑挽救轻生年轻人的故事可知,本句总结全文主旨,强调这些小事能够“改变”世界和我们。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了摄影师臧毅用影像记录了南昌万寿宫的蜕变,展现了城市的更新与历史传承。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意:摄影师臧毅从大学时期就开始记录南昌的老街,为了拍到完美的照片,他勇敢地爬上屋顶。根据时间状语“since his college days”可知,句子需用现在完成时,强调动作从过去开始并持续到现在,侧重动作的完成性和对现在的影响,或可用现在完成进行时,强调动作从过去开始,持续到现在且仍在进行中,更突出“持续记录”的过程性,主语“Zang Yi”是单数,助动词用“has”,“document”的过去分词是“documented”。故填has documented/has been documenting。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2025年4月,当他回到万寿宫时,一个融合了清代遗迹和茶馆、占地5.4万平方米的新文化综合体让他惊叹不已:他从同一个角度拍了一张照片。此处作后置定语,修饰“a new 54,000-square-meter cultural complex”,“cultural complex”与“combine”之间是主动关系,需用现在分词“combining”。故填combining。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2025年4月,当他回到万寿宫时,一个融合了清代遗迹和茶馆、占地5.4万平方米的新文化综合体让他惊叹不已:他从同一个角度拍了一张照片。此处特指“和2013年拍照时相同的角度”,需用定冠词“the”表特指,“the same angle”意为“相同的角度”。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:他发布在网上的对比照片很受欢迎,获得了超过8万次浏览和200多条评论。此处表示“具有……(数量的)浏览量”,需用介词“with”,表示伴随状态。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这片老城区位于南昌的主要商业区。此处需用形容词作定语修饰名词“district”,“commerce”是名词,其形容词形式为“commercial”,表示“商业的”,“commercial district”意为“商业区”。故填commercial。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:万寿宫历史文化街区的建设和修复工程花了八年时间才完成。此处是固定句型“It takes + 时间 + to do sth.”,其中“it”是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式“to finish”。故填to finish。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:街区的中心是重建后的万寿宫,又称铁柱万寿宫,始建于晋代。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the reconstructed Wanshou Palace”,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,需用“which”引导。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:街区的中心是重建后的万寿宫,又称铁柱万寿宫,始建于晋代。此处需用副词作状语修饰动词“built”,“original”是形容词,其副词形式为“originally”,表示“最初、起初”。故填originally。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My great idea to turn my family’s boring backyard into a flourishing vegetable garden was eventually a disaster. After two weeks of working the land, all I had to show for my efforts were a few sad-looking carrot tops and an impressive forest of weeds. I stared at the muddy field, feeling defeated. My dream of serving homegrown food on a plate to my family and giving my parents a big surprise was fading away. Seeing my disappointed face, my parents thought of Mr Flanagan, a retired agriculture expert who lived next door with his wife, to help.
That’s when Mr Flanagan appeared. “It must have been a bit tough to get started, right?” he said, not with criticism, but with a twinkle in his eye. I nodded silently. Then he offered to help, not by taking over, but by teaching. In the following days, our afternoons became lessons in “listening” to the land. He showed me how to test the soil’s pH, calling it a health check-up. He explained why gentle hands were needed for these young carrot plants and taught me the magic of companion planting (混栽) for tomatoes, a way to let plants protect each other by using their natural properties. The work was no longer just hard labor. It became a fascinating journey of understanding the land and its secrets. There was no doubt that some time later, the garden exploded with life under our care.
One day, I harvested enough for a full meal, which was one of the proudest things in my life. I decided to make a dish with a fresh tomato sauce and a side of roasted carrots. As I washed the fresh vegetables, I felt a deep connection to them. I had worked this land, and now it would feed us. I carefully arranged the food on a large plate, my heart swelling with pride.

I was about to mention Mr Flanagan’s guidance when the doorbell rang.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The dinner night I prepared for my parents arrived, and they were amazed. “Fantastic! You grew all this and cooked yourself?” my mom exclaimed, her eyes wide with pride. My dad gently patted my shoulder, his smile showing just how proud he felt. They admired the fruits of my labor, the fresh vegetables and beautifully prepared dishes, marveling at how far our garden had come. “How did you manage to grow everything so well?” my dad asked. I smiled, ready to share the story, feeling the warmth of their admiration filling the room.
I was about to mention Mr Flanagan’s guidance when the doorbell rang. The Flanagan couple, my distinguished guests, came to our home. “I’d like to see how the harvest feast turns out,” Mr Flanagan said. I warmly served them dishes. After a thoughtful bite, he laughed and said, “This is incredible. You know, my wife always jokes that I’m just a ‘textbook expert’, full of theories but lacking in practice. But in your garden, my advice worked,” Mrs Flanagan burst into laughter. I deeply expressed my gratitude, realizing passion and collaboration had made this garden thrive.
