Polly recalls her first encounters with red squirrels at school in Dunkeld. Despite being a top student and popular girl on campus, she, as a boarder, frequently missed her family far away when she was alone. She got her first baby squirrels to look after in the nearby woods. “I became completely absorbed in them and they distracted me from missing home too much,” she says. The squirrels eventually returned to the wild, and since then she has regularly taken more in, developing special techniques such as regular touching to stimulate bodily functions. In Polly’s view, the eventual release is often challenging because the newly released squirrels still need feeding until they rewild themselves. Their delicate character makes them suffer from stress more seriously than other small creatures. Polly’s own farm, where she lives now, has a rising population of the reds. There are open fields, dense woods and little clearings. With the help of the SSRS, more than 20,000 trees have been planted. On the farm, everything is kept untidy. “We arrange it intentionally to keep the living environment of squirrels original and natural.” To Polly’s relief, it has proved a major boost for the reds’ population. Polly believes the reds have a healthy future if efforts can be maintained. That is a matter of money, one for the politicians. The experience of raising red squirrels has taught Polly a lesson: “When I have these baby squirrels in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.” 24. What did tending the baby squirrels relieve Polly of? A. Social anxiety. B. Academic pressure. C. Life’s boredom. D. Intense homesickness. 25. What is Polly’s concern for returning the squirrels to the wild? A. The choice of suitable places. B. The lack of special techniques. C. The need for constant feeding. D. The stress from other animals. 26. Why doesn’t Polly keep the farm neat and well arranged? A. To preserve an undisturbed habitat. B. To attract the attention of the SSRS. C. To seek politicians’ economic support. D. To make room for newly- planted trees. 27. What do Polly’s words mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Her pride in human superiority. B. Her affection for red squirrels. C. Her sense of shared responsibility. D. Her appreciation of the wildness. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述波莉·普拉尔通过改造农场为红松鼠打造自然栖息地，助力苏格兰红松鼠保护项目，以及她的相关经历和感悟。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I became completely absorbed in them and they distracted me from missing home too much.(我完全沉浸在它们身上，它们让我不再那么思念家乡。)”可知，照料幼松鼠缓解了波莉强烈的思乡之情。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In Polly’s view, the eventual release is often challenging because the newly released squirrels still need feeding until they rewild themselves.(在波莉看来，最终的放归往往充满挑战，因为新放归的松鼠在重新适应野外生活之前仍然需要喂食。)”可知，波莉对松鼠放归野外的担忧是它们需要持续的喂食。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We arrange it intentionally to keep the living environment of squirrels original and natural.(我们故意这样安排，是为了保持松鼠的生活环境原始而自然。)”可知，波莉不把农场打理得整洁有序，是为了为松鼠保留一个不受干扰的原始自然栖息地。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I have these baby squirrels in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.(当我把这些幼松鼠捧在手里，它们完全依赖我时，这凸显了一个事实：我们人类掌握着自然的钥匙。保护自然世界是我们的责任。)”可知，波莉的话主要传达了她对保护自然的共同责任感。故选C项。 C Young adult (YA) fiction is traditionally aimed at teenagers. However, new research shows that a growing number of adult readers have been reading YA fiction since 2019. A study by HarperCollins found that 74% of YA readers are adults, with 28% being over 28. This trend is partly due to “emerging adulthood”, where young people are growing up more slowly and delaying traditional adult life, often marked by feelings of instability. This has driven them to seek comfort in young adult fiction, a habit that many retain as they grow older. For many adults, reading YA is simply another enjoyable choice, just like picking any other book genre (体裁). Some readers strongly defend the quality of YA, saying that many YA books are beautifully written and deal with important issues such as self-discovery, family, and racism. Furthermore, YA books can serve as a form of “self-care”. Many readers find these books more accessible than a lot of adult fiction. Because YA books are written specifically for slightly younger readers, reading for pleasure when a person is tired becomes less demanding. Besides, their plot-driven nature offers perfect escape from reality. The study also looked at younger readers aged 14 to 25. It found that 40% of those who strongly identified as a reader also described themselves as “very happy”. This is much higher than the 21% of non-readers who felt the same way. Alison David, consumer insight director at HarperCollins, said the research “suggests wellbeing comes from more than the act of reading. The psychology of being a reader is enormously powerful.” Despite the clear benefits, the study shows a contradiction: only 16% of 14- to 25-year-olds read daily or nearly every day for pleasure. Many report that heavy schoolwork leaves them with too little time to read for fun. This presents a challenge: how to encourage regular reading among young people who know its value but struggle to find time for books. 28. What does the underlined word “retain” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Change. B. Keep. C. Restore. D. Abandon. 29. Why do some adults turn to YA books for self-care? A. Because they are full of joyful themes. B. Because they are easy to get from stores. C. Because they are simple and engaging. D. Because they are better than adult novels. 30. What can be inferred from the data about reading and happiness? A. The happier young people are, the more books they read. B. Reading every day is the key to happiness for the young. C. A positive reader self-image contributes to one’s happiness. D. Schoolwork is the main factor affecting students’ happiness. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of YA Fiction Among Adult Readers B. YA Fiction: A New Trend Among Teenagers C. The Challenge of Reading for Young People D. Reading for Pleasure: A Key to Well-being 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍近年来成人读者阅读青少年（YA）小说的趋势日益明显，分析了背后原因、相关阅读与幸福感的研究发现及青少年阅读面临的挑战。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“This has driven them to seek comfort in young adult fiction, a habit that many retain as they grow older.(这促使他们在青少年小说中寻求慰藉，许多人在成长过程中仍retain着这一习惯。)”可知，这里的habit是指“to seek comfort in young adult fiction”，结合“as they grow older”可以推断retain在此处表示“保留、保持”，与“keep”同义。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Many readers find these books more accessible than a lot of adult fiction. Because YA books are written specifically for slightly younger readers, reading for pleasure when a person is tired becomes less demanding. Besides, their plot-driven nature offers perfect escape from reality.(许多读者发现这些书比很多成人小说更容易理解。因为青少年小说是专门为稍年轻的读者写的，当一个人疲惫时，为了乐趣而阅读就不会那么费力。此外，它们以情节为导向的特点提供了完美的逃离现实的途径。)”可知，成人选择青少年小说作为自我关怀的方式，是因为它们简单易懂且引人入胜。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It found that 40% of those who strongly identified as a reader also described themselves as “very happy”. This is much higher than the 21% of non-readers who felt the same way. Alison David, consumer insight director at HarperCollins, said the research “suggests wellbeing comes from more than the act of reading. The psychology of being a reader is enormously powerful.” (研究发现，40%强烈认同自己是读者的人也形容自己“非常快乐”。这一比例远高于21%有同样感受的非读者群体。哈珀柯林斯出版集团消费者洞察总监艾莉森·大卫表示，该研究“表明幸福感不仅仅源于阅读行为本身，作为读者的心理状态具有巨大的影响力。”)”可知，积极的读者自我认知有助于提升幸福感。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“However, new research shows that a growing number of adult readers have been reading YA fiction since 2019. A study by HarperCollins found that 74% of YA readers are adults, with 28% being over 28.(然而，新的研究表明，自2019年以来，越来越多的成年读者开始阅读青少年小说。哈珀柯林斯出版集团的一项研究发现，74%的青少年小说读者为成年人，其中28%的读者年龄在28岁以上。)”可知，文章开篇点明核心趋势——2019年以来越来越多的成人读者阅读青少年小说，随后分析趋势成因、成人选择青少年小说的原因、相关研究发现及青少年阅读现状，所以“成人读者中青少年小说的兴起”概括了文章的主题，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。 D If current trends are correct, around 41 million people will die from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in 2025, representing about 74 percent of all global deaths. Despite major medical advances, the number of deaths from NCDs continues to rise. One main reason for this increase is urbanization. By 2050, it is predicted that two out of every three people will live in cities, making these trends extremely worrying. Now, new research indicates that people who live in greener areas have lower rates of NCDs and better physical and mental health. Why do green spaces help fight NCDs? Greater opportunities for exercise, cleaner air, and less heat stress are all reasons. More importantly, there is strong scientific proof that when we interact with nature, it brings about biochemical reactions in our bodies that improve our health. This began with Japanese scientists studying “forest bathing”, or shinrin-yoku. The evidence found was so strong that in Japan, doctors sometimes prescribe (开处方) spending time sitting in forests instead of medication for certain NCDs. Similar health benefits can be obtained in urban green spaces and with indoor plants. For example, studies show that simply having a vase of flowers on your desk can lower your blood pressure. Having leafy plants in your home or office can also help. Scented (芳香的) plants also offer health benefits. When we breathe in a scent, its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pass into our blood. Once in the blood, these compounds act like medicines leading to positive health outcomes. One of the most important and thrilling recent experiments shows that walking in a pine forest for two hours can significantly increase natural killer cells in our blood— these are the cells that attack cancers and viruses. Even looking at green views from a window or hearing bird songs can reduce stress and improve cognitive (认知的) performance. This new evidence means that in 2025, doctors will increasingly prescribe nature instead of drugs. Urban planners, on the other hand, will no longer consider green spaces as something unessential. 32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By explaining reasons. C. By showing findings. D. By providing statistics. 33. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning forest bathing in paragraph 2? A. Japan prefers nature over hospitals. B. Cultural traditions can heal diseases. C. Japan’s forests are unique globally. D. Science supports nature-based care. 34 How do plant VOCs improve health? A. They can remove pollution from the air. B. They can kill viruses in human blood. C. They can promote healing in the body. D. They can help people focus on their tasks. 35. Which aspect of the research does the last paragraph talk about? A. Its challenges. B. Its significance. C. Its limitations. D. Its complexity. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述非传染性疾病死亡人数呈上升趋势，研究表明接触自然（绿地、植物等）有益健康，该发现将影响医疗诊疗与城市规划。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If current trends are correct, around 41 million people will die from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in 2025, representing about 74 percent of all global deaths. (如果当前趋势预测正确，2025年约有4100 万人将死于非传染性疾病，约占全球总死亡人数的 74%。)”及“By 2050, it is predicted that two out of every three people will live in cities, making these trends extremely worrying.(据预测，到2050年，每三个人中就有两人将居住在城市，这使得这些趋势变得极为令人担忧。)”可知，作者通过提供具体数据呈现非传染性疾病死亡人数上升的问题。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“More importantly, there is strong scientific proof that when we interact with nature, it brings about biochemical reactions in our bodies that improve our health. This began with Japanese scientists studying “forest bathing”, or shinrin-yoku. (更重要的是，有强有力的科学证据表明，当我们与自然互动时，会在体内产生改善健康的生化反应。这始于日本科学家对“森林浴”的研究。)”可知，提及森林浴是为了证明“基于自然的保健方式有科学依据”。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When we breathe in a scent, its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pass into our blood. Once in the blood, these compounds act like medicines leading to positive health outcomes. (当我们吸入气味时，其挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）会进入血液。一旦进入血液，这些化合物就像药物一样，带来积极的健康结果。)”可知，植物的VOCs能像药物一样促进身体康复。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This new evidence means that in 2025, doctors will increasingly prescribe nature instead of drugs. Urban planners, on the other hand, will no longer consider green spaces as something unessential. (这一新证据意味着，到2025年，医生将越来越多地开“自然”处方而非药物。另一方面，城市规划者将不再把绿地视为非必需的东西。)”可知，最后一段阐述了该研究对医生诊疗和城市规划的影响，即研究的意义。故选B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。 Human waste could help farmers Some types of farming are harmful to the planet. ___36___ A lot of crops need extra nutrition to grow, so farmers add substances called fertilizers (肥料) to their soil to boost plants’ growth. These are important because they keep crops healthy and make sure that there is enough food for people and animals. ___37___ Every year, farmers around the world spend huge amounts of money on a total of 205 million tons of fertilizers, leading to severe water pollution and loss of biodiversity. ___38___ They are mostly made in factories by burning natural gas and mixing it with minerals. Producing fertilizers takes a lot of energy and the whole process — from digging out the minerals to transporting the final product to farms — creates pollution. This pollution includes carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes to climate change. Nevertheless, a method known as biochar technology, which is already used to make fuel, could turn human waste into a different type of fertilizer. The new study suggests this could be better for the planet and cheaper for farmers. Human waste is rich in nutrients which plants love. ___39___ Even worse, it can also contain leftover medicines, microplastics and poisonous metals. According to the new study, biochar technology can turn human waste into safe plant food. The process is called pyrolysis, where the waste is heated up in special tanks. ___40___ Besides, the waste is made into solid, dry blocks, which are up to 90% smaller and lighter than the original form, which would make it much easier to store and transport. A. Fertilizers are usually a mix of certain chemicals. B. What is beneficial to plants is beneficial to the environment. C. On the negative side, it can carry harmful bacteria and viruses. D. But with too much use of fertilizers, the quality of crops suffers. E. Unfortunately, they are expensive and come at an environmental cost. F. However, a new study has found that could change thanks to human waste. G. The harmful stuff in the waste won’t be a problem as it can be removed in the process. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. A 39. C 40.

I would like to suggest our class put on an English short play about campus life in the English Culture Festival. This decision fits well with the festival’s goal to enrich the English learning atmosphere and promote students’ comprehensive development. Firstly, through scriptwriting, we will improve our writing ability, while rehearsing and performing will enable us to speak more fluently and confidently. Secondly staging a short play offers a dynamic approach to cultivating a wide range of competences, from acting and emotion expression to teamwork. I appreciate your thoughtful consideration and am eager to hear from you! Yours sincerely, Li Hua Possible Version 2: Dear Tom, I’m Li Hua from Class 2. I’m writing to propose singing an English song in chorus for the English Culture Festival. We believe a chorus performance is a perfect choice, as it effectively enhances English skills, fosters teamwork, and promotes inclusiveness. Firstly, mastering song lyrics is a fun and natural way to polish pronunciation and expand vocabulary.

It was composed of fifty-three tiny, decorated houses, which represented decades of family memories. My husband and I had always done the job together, but this year was different. Due to a business commitment, he couldn’t return until Christmas Eve. This was the first time that I had attempted to put up my full Christmas village alone. Looking at various Christmas decorations — lights, ornaments (挂件), and fake snow — spread across the floor, I had no idea how long it would take me to get the work done. “Do you need some help?” my son asked, carefully stepping over piles of boxes. He was home on vacation and was preparing for his college program, so I hesitated, not wanting to distract him from his studies. “I need a break anyway. So, where shall we begin?” He rubbed his hands together, a smile brightening his face. Awaking from my exhausted blank, I joined him across the room and tried to begin making sense of the chaos. As we worked side by side, I taught him all my tricks for setting up villages and shared the family stories about how the village began and how it grew into this huge collection. I even showed him how to make a few mistakes and how to fix them. Three hours passed, my body was aching and my hands were trembling with tiredness, but the village was still half done. “I’m already worn out.” I murmured. “Maybe skip them this year,” he suggested gently. “It’s beautiful as it is.” Since I was scheduled to work the next day, we cleaned up the room and left the village exactly as it was. The next morning, as I was heading out the door, I paused and looked at the village again. I wish I had pushed through and it could have been much better. Just then, my son came out of his room and saw the disappointment in my eyes. He waved me off with an understanding smile. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Para 1: That afternoon when I came back, I was astonished by what I saw. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: My son smiled, saying, “The family tradition was worth much more.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 That afternoon when I came back, I was astonished by what I saw. My son sat at the table, adding the final details to the Christmas village. I moved closer, my eyes widening in amazement. Every little house, with colorful lights in its windows and fake snow on its rooftop, stood neatly on the table. At that moment, a wave of peace washed over me, and all my work tiredness faded away. I quietly settled beside him and, unable to contain my curiosity, asked what had motivated him to put the final touches on the decorations. My son smiled, saying. “The family tradition was worth much more.” He explained he had set aside his college program as his mind was full of the family stories about each house. It dawned on me that he had grown into a dependable man, ready to shoulder the weight of family. With the flick of a switch, he then lit up the village, every window shining brightly. As we admired the glowing houses together, I felt warmth flooding my heart. The tradition wasn’t just about the village but about passing on love and memories. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家有世代相传的圣诞村庄搭建传统，由53座小房子组成，承载着家族回忆。今年丈夫因事务无法陪同，作者首次尝试独自搭建，面对满地装饰手足无措。放假在家的儿子主动帮忙，作者们边搭建边分享相关家族故事。三小时后村庄仍未完工，因作者次日要上班只好作罢。当天下午作者回家时，发现儿子独自完成了搭建，他称家族传统值得珍视。这让作者感受到儿子的成长，也领悟到传统的核心是爱与回忆的传承。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天下午我回来的时候，看到的情景让我大为震惊。”可知，第一段可描写下午作者回家时，发现儿子独自完成了搭建，他称家族的传统更有价值。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的儿子微笑着说道：‘家族的传统更有价值。’”可知，第二段可描写作者感受到儿子的成长，也领悟到传统的核心是爱与回忆的传承。 2.续写线索：回家——看到儿子完成搭建——询问动机——儿子称家族的传统更有价值——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②解释：explain/interpret ③欣赏：admire/appreciate 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised ②平静：peace/calmness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I quietly settled beside him and, unable to contain my curiosity, asked what had motivated him to put the final touches on the decorations.(运用了what引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] As we admired the glowing houses together, I felt warmth flooding my heart.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 扬州市2025/2026学年度第一学期期中调研 高三英语 2025.11 注意事项 1. 本试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2. 答题前，请务必将学校、姓名、准考证号填写在答题纸上。 3. 请用0.5毫米黑色签字笔按题号在答题纸指定区域作答，在其它位置作答一律无效。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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】 What could Mr Hopkins probably be?

B Efforts to help Scotland’s red squirrels are bearing positive fruits, which owes much to the Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels (SSRS) project and its helper, Polly Pullar, who has transformed her farm into red squirrels’ natural habitat. Polly recalls her first encounters with red squirrels at school in Dunkeld. Despite being a top student and popular girl on campus, she, as a boarder, frequently missed her family far away when she was alone. She got her first baby squirrels to look after in the nearby woods. “I became completely absorbed in them and they distracted me from missing home too much,” she says. The squirrels eventually returned to the wild, and since then she has regularly taken more in, developing special techniques such as regular touching to stimulate bodily functions. In Polly’s view, the eventual release is often challenging because the newly released squirrels still need feeding until they rewild themselves. Their delicate character makes them suffer from stress more seriously than other small creatures. Polly’s own farm, where she lives now, has a rising population of the reds. There are open fields, dense woods and little clearings. With the help of the SSRS, more than 20,000 trees have been planted. On the farm, everything is kept untidy. “We arrange it intentionally to keep the living environment of squirrels original and natural.” To Polly’s relief, it has proved a major boost for the reds’ population. Polly believes the reds have a healthy future if efforts can be maintained. That is a matter of money, one for the politicians. The experience of raising red squirrels has taught Polly a lesson: “When I have these baby squirrels in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.” 24. What did tending the baby squirrels relieve Polly of? A. Social anxiety. B. Academic pressure. C. Life’s boredom. D. Intense homesickness. 25. What is Polly’s concern for returning the squirrels to the wild? A. The choice of suitable places. B. The lack of special techniques. C. The need for constant feeding. D. The stress from other animals. 26. Why doesn’t Polly keep the farm neat and well arranged? A. To preserve an undisturbed habitat. B. To attract the attention of the SSRS. C. To seek politicians’ economic support. D. To make room for newly- planted trees. 27. What do Polly’s words mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Her pride in human superiority. B. Her affection for red squirrels. C. Her sense of shared responsibility. D. Her appreciation of the wildness. C Young adult (YA) fiction is traditionally aimed at teenagers. However, new research shows that a growing number of adult readers have been reading YA fiction since 2019. A study by HarperCollins found that 74% of YA readers are adults, with 28% being over 28. This trend is partly due to “emerging adulthood”, where young people are growing up more slowly and delaying traditional adult life, often marked by feelings of instability. This has driven them to seek comfort in young adult fiction, a habit that many retain as they grow older. For many adults, reading YA is simply another enjoyable choice, just like picking any other book genre (体裁). Some readers strongly defend the quality of YA, saying that many YA books are beautifully written and deal with important issues such as self-discovery, family, and racism. Furthermore, YA books can serve as a form of “self-care”. Many readers find these books more accessible than a lot of adult fiction. Because YA books are written specifically for slightly younger readers, reading for pleasure when a person is tired becomes less demanding. Besides, their plot-driven nature offers perfect escape from reality. The study also looked at younger readers aged 14 to 25. It found that 40% of those who strongly identified as a reader also described themselves as “very happy”. This is much higher than the 21% of non-readers who felt the same way. Alison David consumer insight director at HarperCollins, said the research “suggests wellbeing comes from more than the act of reading. The psychology of being a reader is enormously powerful.” Despite the clear benefits, the study shows a contradiction: only 16% of 14- to 25-year-olds read daily or nearly every day for pleasure. Many report that heavy schoolwork leaves them with too little time to read for fun. This presents a challenge: how to encourage regular reading among young people who know its value but struggle to find time for books. 28. What does the underlined word “retain” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Change. B. Keep. C. Restore. D. Abandon. 29. Why do some adults turn to YA books for self-care? A. Because they are full of joyful themes. B. Because they are easy to get from stores. C. Because they are simple and engaging. D. Because they are better than adult novels. 30. What can be inferred from the data about reading and happiness? A. The happier young people are, the more books they read. B. Reading every day is the key to happiness for the young. C. A positive reader self-image contributes to one’s happiness. D. Schoolwork is the main factor affecting students’ happiness. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of YA Fiction Among Adult Readers B. YA Fiction: A New Trend Among Teenagers C. The Challenge of Reading for Young People D. Reading for Pleasure: A Key to Well-being D If current trends are correct around 41 million people will die from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in 2025, representing about 74 percent of all global deaths. Despite major medical advances, the number of deaths from NCDs continues to rise. One main reason for this increase is urbanization. By 2050, it is predicted that two out of every three people will live in cities, making these trends extremely worrying. Now, new research indicates that people who live in greener areas have lower rates of NCDs and better physical and mental health. Why do green spaces help fight NCDs? Greater opportunities for exercise, cleaner air, and less heat stress are all reasons. More importantly, there is strong scientific proof that when we interact with nature, it brings about biochemical reactions in our bodies that improve our health. This began with Japanese scientists studying “forest bathing”, or shinrin-yoku. The evidence found was so strong that in Japan, doctors sometimes prescribe (开处方) spending time sitting in forests instead of medication for certain NCDs. Similar health benefits can be obtained in urban green spaces and with indoor plants. For example, studies show that simply having a vase of flowers on your desk can lower your blood pressure. Having leafy plants in your home or office can also help. Scented (芳香的) plants also offer health benefits. When we breathe in a scent, its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pass into our blood. Once in the blood, these compounds act like medicines leading to positive health outcomes. One of the most important and thrilling recent experiments shows that walking in a pine forest for two hours can significantly increase natural killer cells in our blood— these are the cells that attack cancers and viruses. Even looking at green views from a window or hearing bird songs can reduce stress and improve cognitive (认知的) performance. This new evidence means that in 2025, doctors will increasingly prescribe nature instead of drugs. Urban planners, on the other hand, will no longer consider green spaces as something unessential. 32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By explaining reasons. C. By showing findings. D. By providing statistics. 33. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning forest bathing in paragraph 2? A. Japan prefers nature over hospitals. B. Cultural traditions can heal diseases. C. Japan’s forests are unique globally. D. Science supports nature-based care. 34. How do plant VOCs improve health? A. They can remove pollution from the air. B. They can kill viruses in human blood. C. They can promote healing in the body. D. They can help people focus on their tasks. 35. Which aspect of the research does the last paragraph talk about? A. Its challenges. B. Its significance. C. Its limitations. D. Its complexity. 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。 Human waste could help farmers Some types of farming are harmful to the planet. ___36___ A lot of crops need extra nutrition to grow, so farmers add substances called fertilizers (肥料) to their soil to boost plants’ growth. These are important because they keep crops healthy and make sure that there is enough food for people and animals. ___37___ Every year, farmers around the world spend huge amounts of money on a total of 205 million tons of fertilizers, leading to severe water pollution and loss of biodiversity. ___38___ They are mostly made in factories by burning natural gas and mixing it with minerals. Producing fertilizers takes a lot of energy and the whole process — from digging out the minerals to transporting the final product to farms — creates pollution. This pollution includes carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes to climate change. Nevertheless, a method known as biochar technology, which is already used to make fuel, could turn human waste into a different type of fertilizer. The new study suggests this could be better for the planet and cheaper for farmers. Human waste is rich in nutrients which plants love. ___39___ Even worse, it can also contain leftover medicines, microplastics and poisonous metals. According to the new study, biochar technology can turn human waste into safe plant food. The process is called pyrolysis, where the waste is heated up in special tanks. ___40___ Besides, the waste is made into solid, dry blocks, which are up to 90% smaller and lighter than the original form, which would make it much easier to store and transport. A. Fertilizers are usually a mix of certain chemicals. B. What is beneficial to plants is beneficial to the environment. C. On the negative side, it can carry harmful bacteria and viruses. D. But with too much use of fertilizers, the quality of crops suffers. E. Unfortunately, they are expensive and come at an environmental cost. F. However, a new study has found that could change thanks to human waste. G. The harmful stuff in the waste won’t be a problem as it can be removed in the process. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Misty the Rescue Dog One summer afternoon, I was struggling with a severe headache and decided to step outside my house for some fresh air.
