Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·苏北七市二测)
Like many of the Indigenous communities across the Australian continent, the remote communities in northwest New South Wales are struggling.Many of the 300 or so residents rely on welfare.Higher electricity bills—up to $3,000 a quarter for some households—further worsen the poverty.They're always at the end of the power line, so the service that is there is quite extraordinary in terms of cost.It's a real problem that needs to be fixed.
To that end, Anderson and other Indigenous leaders have formed the First Nations Renewable Energy Alliance (FREA) to push for renewable energy in Indigenous communities.They partner with private enterprise to support Indigenous communities looking to switch to renewable energy.
“We can build a power station where the community exists,” Anderson says, “so people are able to successfully live in the environment the way they want to live and have access to power which enables them to better determine their economic future.”
Only a handful of Indigenous communities have set up renewable energy projects in Australia.The Indigenousowned and operated company All Grid Energy, for instance, has installed solar panels and battery storage systems to replace diesel (柴油) generators in the communities of Ngurrara and Kurnturlpara in the Northern Territory's Barkly Tableland.Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were moving back to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about 40.
But FREA will go one step further, working with community leaders and acting as a conduit (中转机构) between the communities and the businesses they are dealing with.This is essential, says Anderson, to avoid predatory (掠夺性的) practices they have seen in the past, with companies “playing on the psychology of poverty” to gain advantage.The FREA has drafted terms of agreements that will guide how companies engage with Indigenous communities for renewable energy projects.
One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a test case for a renewables project.“Our experience is that if we can make it work for one community, it will work in every other community,” Anderson says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了澳大利亚的土著社区领导人 Anderson与其他领导人成立了第一个民族可再生能源联盟(FREA),以推动在土著社区使用可再生能源,并避免过去企业利用贫困心理进行的掠夺性行为。
1.What is FREA expected to do for the remote Indigenous communities?
A.Increase power supply to them.
B.Help them return to their homelands.
C.Shake them off poverty.
D.Reduce their higher power costs.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容和第二段中的 “To that end, Anderson and other Indigenous leaders have formed the First Nations Renewable Energy Alliance (FREA) to push for renewable energy in Indigenous communities.” 可知,FREA 期望让偏远的土著社区也能使用可再生能源发电,来降低他们较高的电力成本。故选D。
2.What does the author indicate by mentioning All Grid Energy?
A.Renewables projects are inaccessible.
B.Renewables projects are quite workable.
C.Renewables projects can increase locals' income.
D.Renewables projects can coexist with diesel power plants.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的 “Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were moving back to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about 40.” 可推知,作者使用 All Grid Energy公司的案例——该公司安装了太阳能电池板和电池存储系统,以取代柴油发电机,这使当地土著居民纷纷回村,人口也得以增长——是想说明可再生能源项目确实可行。故选B。
3.What's Paragraph 5 mainly about concerning FREA?
A.Its strategies to win over businesses.
B.Its cooperation with company leaders.
C.Its potential conflict with energy companies.
D.Its innovation in directing renewables projects.
答案:D
解析:段落大意题。根据文章第五段中的 “to avoid predatory (掠夺性的) practices...Indigenous communities for renewable energy projects.” 可知,第五段讲述了为了避免过去的情况,FREA 已经起草了协议条款,指导公司如何与土著社区合作开展可再生能源项目。因为要避免过去的情况,所以他们在方法上有创新。故选D。
4.What's FREA going to do next?
A.Consult the experts.
B.Select a piloting community.
C.Collect sufficient construction fund.
D.Make renewables projects available to all.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的 “One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a test case for a renewables project.” 可推知,FREA的下一步计划之一是确定一个可以作为可再生能源项目测试案例的社区,即选择一个试点社区。故选B。

Solar panels—also known as “photovoltaic” panels—are used to turn sunlight into electricity.Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms.But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water.Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics (浮动光伏)”.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs worldwide.They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels.The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year.And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.
The scientists found that floatovoltaics would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less).The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.
Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发)from reservoirs.The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs' surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year.There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea.Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot.The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.Putting solar panels on water also means that there's no need to clear land for a solar farm.That's more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.

After my mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默病), the plants in our house began to die.In years past, I remember the deep, earthy smell that would 1 in our house after my mother had made her weekly watering rounds.Back then, I never connected it with the care that was at the 2 of everything she did.
But now, leaves were 3 , some dry and edged with brown, and many of the stems(茎) bare.It was a mark of how my mother can no longer attend to all the things that she lovingly cared for.I was so focused on the increasing 4 of her own care that her beloved plants had escaped my 5 .
I began her old rounds, pouring water into the thirsty soil, and soon the plants 6 .That's the thing about house plants: They demand nothing.They wait quietly, no matter how 7 they are.But even after my best 8 , some of the plants couldn't survive.My mother's kind caregivers have since brought new ones to add to her 9 , and my father buys fresh flowers every week.
Though Alzheimer's disease 10 so much of her memory, her desire to care is still there.I would guide her down the steps to water the plants herself.I watched as her shaking hands picked the brown leaves.Each time, she smiled up at me with 11 satisfaction because being able to 12 something is still what brings her the greatest joy.
I look at plants 13 these days.I see them as my mother does: 14 reminders of the need for kindness toward all living things.It is clear to me that the things we spend a lifetime 15 are never truly lost and the love she has planted in me still blooms.
