题型简介
新闻报道类阅读是上海高考英语阅读理解的重要题型,选材多来自 2025 年上海各区模拟题及联考题中真实外媒报道、本地新闻专栏等,聚焦社会热点、科技突破、公益事件、国际动态等题材。文本结构严谨,遵循 “倒金字塔” 原则,首段核心信息(时间、地点、人物、事件)明确,后续段落补充细节、背景及多方观点。语言特点为客观准确、逻辑清晰,多使用正式书面语,夹杂少量专业术语或新闻特定表达。题型旨在考查考生快速抓取核心信息、梳理事件脉络、解读作者立场及推断隐含意义的能力,贴合高考对实用类文本阅读的考查要求。
设题类型
新闻报道类阅读设题围绕四大核心维度,精准匹配高考考查重点。一是事实细节题,占比最高,聚焦事件时间、地点、原因、结果等关键信息,如 2025 年上海闵行区一模中对新闻事件具体措施的考查;二是主旨大意题,要求概括新闻核心事件或作者核心观点,常以 “main idea”“best title” 形式呈现;三是推理判断题,需基于文本信息推断事件影响、人物态度或后续发展,如 2025 年上海六校联考中对新闻事件社会意义的推断;四是词义猜测题,针对新闻中的专业术语、指代内容或生僻词汇设题,考查语境解读能力。各类题型均立足文本表层信息与深层逻辑,侧重对信息筛选与加工能力的考查。
命题方式
命题方式紧扣新闻文本特征,呈现鲜明规律性。事实细节题多采用 “定位原文 + 同义替换” 模式,选项通过改写原文关键词句设置干扰,需考生精准匹配信息;主旨大意题常要求概括全文核心,选项易设置 “以偏概全”“过度延伸” 陷阱,如仅概括某段细节而非全文事件;推理判断题命题多涉及 “观点推断”“影响预测”,选项需符合新闻逻辑与客观事实,排除主观臆断项;词义猜测题通过上下文语境、同位语、举例说明等线索设题,考查考生利用语境逻辑推断词义的能力。命题选材注重时效性与地域性,2025 年上海各区模拟题中多选取与本地相关的社会新闻,增强考查的实用性与情境性。
解题思路
解题需遵循 “高效定位 — 逻辑验证 — 精准排除” 的科学流程。首先,快速浏览首段及段落首尾句,抓取核心事件要素,建立文本框架;其次,根据题干关键词定位原文对应段落,事实细节题直接匹配原文信息,注意同义替换表达;主旨大意题需整合各段核心,聚焦首段与结尾段的总结性语句,排除细节干扰项;推理判断题需基于原文事实,结合新闻背景与逻辑关系合理推断,避免过度联想;词义猜测题紧扣上下文语境,通过因果、举例、转折等逻辑关系推导词义。同时,关注新闻的客观性特征,区分事实陈述与观点表达,提升解题准确率,契合上海高考对新闻类文本的考查导向。
考向01主旨要义与标题理解
【例1-1】(2025 年上海市浦东新区高三一模)
I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland... Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone... a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom... When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The severe damage caused by a hurricane in Asheville
B. An account of a family becoming climate refugees
C. Ways to survive natural disasters in mountainous areas
D. The importance of early evacuation during hurricanes
Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. A Frightening Night in Asheville
B. Escaping From California's Disasters
C. An Account of a Climate Refugee
D. The Dangers of Living Near Rivers
抓导语定核心:新闻导语(通常为首段或首句)包含事件核心要素(5W1H),是概括主旨和标题的关键。先定位何人在何时何地发生何事,以此锁定核心内容,避免被后续补充的细节信息干扰。
筛细节去冗余:正文多为背景介绍、多方观点等补充内容。需剔除仅体现局部信息的细节,比如单一数据、个别人物的次要言论,聚焦贯穿全文的核心事件及整体走向。
辨范围防偏差:标题和主旨需匹配文本范围,既不能缩小(仅涵盖部分段落内容),也不能扩大(超出新闻报道的事件边界)。同时避免主观评价类表述,契合新闻客观中立的基调。
比选项择最优:若多个选项看似贴合,优先选包含核心要素、语言简洁凝练的选项。标题类题目还需兼顾概括性与简洁性,主旨类则侧重完整呈现事件核心及关键影响。

Majid Ezzati, a public health expert, commented on the diabetes treatment situation in low-income countries. “Only 15% of patients with type 2 diabetes in these regions receive standard treatment. Most lack access to basic blood glucose monitoring tools, and the cost of essential drugs remains beyond their reach. Worse still, many rural clinics don’t have professional medical staff trained in diabetes care. This gap not only harms patients’ health but also places a heavy burden on local medical systems. We can’t ignore this issue any longer as it may trigger more public health crises.”
What is Majid Ezzati’s attitude toward the current treatment of diabetes in low-income countries?
A. Optimistic B. Doubtful C. Worried D. Tolerant

For decades, people have believed that human brains stop developing in the mid-20s. But a new study published in Nature Neuroscience tells a different story. Researchers scanned a woman’s brain 26 times throughout her pregnancy and found that 80% of brain regions shrank by four percent, and this shrinkage persisted for two years after childbirth. The study also notes that the brain changes during pregnancy are driven by hormones, similar to the changes in adolescent brains during puberty. These changes are not harmful; instead, they are adaptive, helping pregnant women focus more on their babies.
What can we infer from the passage about brain development?
A. The brain stops developing once people reach their mid-20s.
B. Hormones play no role in adolescent brain development.
C. Pregnancy-related brain shrinkage is an adaptive change.
D. Brain changes during pregnancy only last for a short time.

Shanghai’s urban greening department has launched a new program to protect old and valuable trees. The program requires regular inspections of trees over 100 years old. For those with diseased branches or unstable roots, arborists will carry out targeted treatments. These include pruning dead branches, injecting pest - resistant chemicals and installing supporting brackets. The department emphasized that these measures are crucial to prevent the trees from withering. What’s more, the public is forbidden from engaging in activities that may damage the trees, such as carving on the trunks or tying ropes to the branches. Anyone who violates the rule will face a fine.
What does the underlined word “pruning” probably mean?
A. Cutting off B. Watering C. Measuring D. Protecting
依托解释性线索:新闻中遇专业术语或生词时,作者常以破折号、冒号、that is 等引出解释。比如科技类新闻中的专业词汇后,可能紧跟同位语说明含义,据此可快速猜词。
借助逻辑关系推导:通过转折词(but、however)找反义词,依托因果词(because、so)推导词义,利用并列词(and、or)找同义词。例如 “Unlike the tedious lecture, the workshop was engaging”,由 unlike 可判断 tedious 与 engaging 是反义。
运用构词法辅助:关注前缀(如 un - 表否定)、后缀(如 -able 表可… 的)和合成词。像新闻中 “eco - friendly”,由 eco(生态)和 friendly(友好的)可推测意为 “环保的”。
指代关系解题技巧
锁定就近范围:代词指代对象多在紧邻的上文 1 - 3 句内,优先找最近的名词或名词短语。指示代词 this/that 有时可指代前文整句话的观点。
遵循一致性原则:指代对象需和代词在单复数、词性上保持一致。比如复数代词 they,对应的指代对象必然是复数名词。
代入验证逻辑:将推测的指代对象代入原句,检查语义和上下文是否通顺,排除语义矛盾的干扰项。

Apple is making a new feature called Lockdown Mode to protect its products from the world’s most advanced spyware. This mode is for a small number of users targeted by the spyware. When turned on, Lockdown Mode will limit what apps, websites and features can do. For example, on an iPhone, it will block most message attachments and incoming calls from people the user hasn’t previously had a call with.
Last November, Apple accused a foreign cybersecurity (网络安全) company, PPP Group, of installing spyware to target Apple products used by journalists, business people, academics, and government officials. Apple claimed that PPP’s tools allowed attacks, including from some organizations willing to pay huge sums to target a tiny portion of users with valuable information.
Weeks earlier, Apple had updated its software to fix a fault that PPP had been exploiting to silently infect iPhones using iMessage. This fault allowed a rare and dangerous “zero-click” attack, where users could get infected without clicking on anything, according to the Citizen Lab, an academic research group.
PPP Group has said that it provides tools for police and security departments around the world to fight crime and has ended contacts with organizations that have abused its software. It argued that Apple’s lawsuit should be dismissed because it acts as an agent of foreign administrations. However, a central appeals court ruled that such immunity doesn’t apply to foreign companies. Apple’s lawsuit is currently on hold while the highest court reviews a related case involving PPP and Meta Platforms’ WhatsApp.
On Wednesday, PPP said it welcomes any solution that strengthens privacy. But it also said it’s important for security departments to be able to access encoded data for criminal investigations.
Apple plans to test the Lockdown feature soon and will release it widely this fall as part of its new operating systems for iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. “Lockdown Mode will reduce the attack surface and increase the costs for greedy spyware companies,” said Citizen Lab Director Ron Deibert. Apple will also give rewards of up to $2 million to researchers who find weaknesses in Lockdown Mode.
1.Which of the following statements about Lockdown Mode is true according to the passage?
A.It turns on automatically for all Apple devices.
B.It secures mobile devices with high-end hardware.
C.It reduces spyware profits with improved safeguards.
D.It enjoys great popularity among Apple users lately.
2.The phrase “such immunity” in paragraph 4 most probably refers to_______.
A.the ability to end contracts with misusing organizations
B.the power to provide tools for police to fight crime
C.the right of being informed of relevant cases
D.the freedom from being taken to court
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .
A.PPP Group takes no part in the “zero-click” attack
B.Apple’s lawsuit against PPP Group has been rejected
C.PPP Group’s tools are used safely by authorized agencies
D.Apple attaches great importance to the security of its users
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Apple challenges PPP Group over spyware impact
B.Apple plans tool to boost security against spyware
C.Apple performs past counter-measures against spyware
D.Apple initiates legal battle with PPP Group over spyware

A recent groundbreaking study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) forecasts massive financial damages due to climate change, projecting annual damages of about $38 trillion ($38 million million) by the year 2050. This figure highlights the severe economic challenges that lie ahead on a global scale, with the greatest impacts expected to burden the countries least responsible for greenhouse emissions (排放).
The economic damage, estimated between $19 trillion to $59 trillion by mid-century, primarily stems from increased temperatures and their subsequent impact on agriculture, labor productivity, and infrastructure (基础设施). The study also notes potential increases in costs due to more frequent and severe weather events, which are expected to become more common as global temperatures rise.
The findings reveal a disconcerting disparity: nations within the tropical (热带的) regions, which have contributed least to historical carbon emissions, are predicted to suffer income losses 60% greater than those in higher-income, higher-emission countries. This highlights a significant climate justice issue, as these least-developed nations possess fewer resources to adapt to increasing climate impacts.
Anders Levermann, head of complexity science at PIK and co-author of the study, emphasized the inequity and urgency of the situation. “Countries in the tropics will suffer the most because they are already warmer. Further temperature increases will therefore be most harmful there,” he explained. Levermann argues for a rapid structural shift towards renewable energy to ease these impacts and stabilize global temperatures.
When placed alongside other major climate impact forecasts, the PIK study stands out for its comprehensive data analysis and harsh projections. Previous studies have similarly highlighted the economic damages of climate change but lacked the extensive regional and specific insights this study provides.
The study strongly advocates for great and immediate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst of these economic damages. It suggests that slowing climate change is not only a moral and environmental must but also economically advantageous, as the cost of inaction is far greater than the expenses associated with reducing global warming to manageable levels.
The socioeconomic consequences of such extensive economic losses could lead to heightened global inequality and potentially, social unrest. This projection stresses the importance of international cooperation in climate action plans and the development of fair policies that recognize and make up for the inequities faced by the less developed nations most affected by climate change.
5.Climate change will cause massive economic damage worldwide by 2050 mainly because _____.
A.the average world temperature will increase much faster than expected
B.rising temperatures will damage farming, infrastructure and productivity
C.big countries will experience economic crises due to more severe weather events
D.tropical regions are unprepared to adapt to the damages caused by climate change
6.By “a disconcerting disparity” in paragraph 3, the author means _____.
A.poor countries least responsible for emission will suffer most in economy
B.it is projected that people in tropical countries will earn 60% less by 2050
C.higher-income countries are reluctant to invest in slowing global warming
D.higher-emission countries are trying to justify their role in climate impacts
7.The PIK study arouses the public attention due to _____.
A.its rigid climate impact forecasts
B.its overall statistics and the severity of its findings
C.its different approach to analyzing data
D.its similar regional insights on economic damages
8.What does the PIK study imply?
A.Fair policies should be established to avoid further rising of temperatures.
B.Reducing gas emissions will benefit the environment but harm the economy.
C.Inequality should be reduced through cooperation in fighting climate change.
D.Wealthy countries should bear the whole cost of coping with global warming.

In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them.
So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in.
“We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.”
Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible.
Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure- all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert.
For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away.
9.What is NOT mentioned as a problem the Allens meet with?
A.Physical weakness due to the broken bone.
B.Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules.
C.Failure to handle certain fixing tasks due to limited mobility.
D.Difficulty in traveling to public places alone due to physical condition.
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.People like Allens gather to live in a special place for shared elderly caring.
B.The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens.
C.Senior people give up “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children.
D.“Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call.
11.The underlined word precipitous in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
A.alternative B.fake C.rushed D.joint
12.Which of the following is probably the title of the passage?
A.US grey band fights to stay at home
B.Attention, US seniors are suffering
C.At home vs Nursing home-a hard choice for US seniors
D.US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents

When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”
Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs.
Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.”

This February, a pet owner left his mother cat and her kitten with a pet sitter from Xiaohongshu. Only three days later, both cats fell from the 19th floor and died. “The owner was in great emotional pain — he’d had the cats since they were little.” said Lawyer Cui. Instead of going to court, the two parties came to a deal with Cui’s assistance: the sitter would pay a few thousand yuan in small monthly parts.
Cui, 27, has practiced law in Chengdu since 2020 and went independent in 2023. At first, he handled many civil cases, but the heavy work tired him out. One late night, with his long-haired cat Ultraman quiet beside him, he had a sudden idea: “I love pets. Why not focus on legal problems about them?” This special area has few lawyers in China. Since then, Cui has taken cases like pet medical mistakes, sale lies, and accidental deaths.
A 2024 Goldman Sachs report says China’s pet number first passed kids under 4. By 2030, it may be nearly twice that. As pet ownership surges in China, such disputes (纠纷) are becoming more common. Pets are increasingly viewed as family members, yet the legal system has been slow to adapt.
China still lacks a dedicated animal protection law. Lawyers often use general rules from the Civil Code, which only bring light punishments. “The legal vacuum is the biggest challenge,” Cui said. “Without clear statutes, it’s difficult to protect pets or their owners effectively.”
Yet Cui remains optimistic. He started a WeChat group “Pet Legal Alliance” with over 1,000 lawyers (all pet owners too). They share resources and push for better rules. Cui likes to mediate (调解) instead of long court fights. Still, he believes change is coming. “Pets are not property. They are life companions. The law should reflect that,” he said.
17.What was the result of the two cats’ case?
A.It was put off for new evidence. B.It was successfully solved in court.
C.The lawyer helped reach a settlement. D.The sitter delayed repaying the owner.
18.Why did lawyer Cui decide to take pet-related work?
A.To follow his own heart. B.To decrease career risks.
C.To gain special inspiration. D.To lower his expectations.
19.What is the main purpose of mentioning the WeChat group?
A.To display the group’s daily activities. B.To stress pet topics’popularity online.
C.To point out the inefficiency of lawsuits. D.To showcase a joint effort for pet legal rights.
20.What can be inferred about Cui?
A.He is confused about civil cases. B.He is passionate about court fights.
C.He shows indifference to challenges. D.He possesses a sharp market awareness.

Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause collisions with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.

Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL.
The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained.
“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.”
As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.”
The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared.
25.What is Finger Dance?
A.A machine learning device. B.A real-time translation tool.

In May, 2025, four British men have successfully completed a high-speed expedition (探险) on Mount Everest, reaching the peak in just five days.
Garth Miller, Alistair Carns, Anthony Stazicker and Kevin Godlington climbed the towering peak with help from the Austrian guiding company Furtenbach Adventures. The team also included five Sherpa guides and a cameraman. But these were not the deciding factors for their success. Climbers who want to climb Everest typically must spend weeks or months getting used to the thin air, but this team finished much faster. Their success came from months of home preparation: They slept in special low-oxygen tents to mimic (模仿) the effects of high mountains, and exercised while wearing equipment that reduced oxygen intake.
Additionally, the climbers received a special treatment in Germany: breathing a small amount of xenon (氙气) mixed with oxygen for under an hour. Discovered in the 1800s, this gas has medical uses and may help the body handle thin air. The team hoped the xenon treatment might give them an extra boost, but they admitted it wasn’t essential. However, the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation(ICMF)argues there’s no proof that xenon improves mountain performance, and wrong use can be risky.
Some mountaineers oppose xenon gas. They see it as an unfair advantage. “If you’re promoting xenon as a performance enhancer, but you’re not also willing to examine what that means for fairness and integrity in the mountains, it’s a problem,” says Adrian Ballinger, an American mountain guide who leads Everest expeditions.
Using xenon could let climbers spend less time and money preparing in Nepal. Nepalese tourism officials said they didn’t know the British team planned to climb Everest without standard preparation. “We’ll discuss this and decide future policies,” stated tourism director Narayan Regmi. The climbers noted that Everest expeditions now accept practices once forbidden, like extra oxygen or helicopter flights to base camp. They argued their fast climb reduced risks and environmental harm.
29.What’s the main reason for the four men’s reaching the peak in just five days?
A.They consulted a specific company. B.They had enough training at home.
C.They hired experienced guides. D.They carried unusual oxygen.
30.What was the four climbers’ purpose in using xenon?
A.To fight against the ICMF’s comments on it. B.To test its actual effectiveness on climbers.
C.To promote more applications in medicine. D.To add more assurance to their expedition.
31.Why do some mountaineers object to the use of xenon?
A.It is considered an unfair shortcut. B.It has questionable effects.
C.It destroys the environment. D.It brings them less profit.
32.What might be Nepal officials’ attitude to using xenon in climbing mountains?
A.Dismissive. B.Disapproving. C.Tolerant. D.Appreciative.

Gyeongyun Lily Min spent the last seven months in a makeshift laboratory she set up in her parent’s garage, working hard to turn vibrations produced by sound waves in sports arenas into electrical energy.
The 17-year-old rising senior’s idea began to take shape when watching Disney’s Monsters, Inc. In the 2001 film, energy is generated from children’s screams. Without the cruelty, Gyeongyun thought, the concept could help meet the global demand for sustainable energy.
“I began to wonder if, in reality, with the help of piezoelectric effect (压电效应), we could use the abundant noise in environments like sports arenas to generate electricity.” explains Gyeongyun. Certain materials in the environment produce large amounts of mechanical energy as vibrations or shocks. This energy is largely wasted. However, with the piezoelectric effect, it is possible to change this energy into electric energy. Mixing her curiosity with her passion for science and innovation, the young student set out to explore a new way to meet global energy demands and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Today, with over 60 percent of global electricity generated by fossil fuels, the world continues to be heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources. According to a recent report by the World Nuclear Association, which promotes the global nuclear energy industry, over 40 percent of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year are due to the burning of fossil fuels for electricity generation.
With her eco-friendly technology, Gyeongyun secured a spot as a finalist in this year’s Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest global science competition for high school students.
According to Gyeongyun, a sports arena is the suitable location for her project because it represents a unique environment with lots of noise of the cheering crowds, announcements and music.
“Although this technology is not yet realistically applicable due to the current limitations in the sensitivity and efficiency of piezoelectric materials, by advancing the quality of piezoelectric devices, we can unlock a new way of sustainable energy production, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.” she says.
33.Gyeongyun thought of turning noise into electricity because of _________.
A.the encounter in the garage B.her curiosity about science
C.the inspiration from a Disney film D.her concern about the global problem
34.What’s the function of Para. 4?
A.To highlight the profits of Gyeongyun’s project.
B.To illustrate the necessity of Gyeongyun’s project.
C.To indicate the importance of using less fossil fuels.
D.To demonstrate the influence of a worsening problem.
35.What can we imply from the last paragraph?
A.The development should be sped up.
B.The technology has been widely applied.
C.Gyeongyun has overcome technology barriers.
D.Gyeongyun remains hopeful about his project.
36.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Traffic Noise to Fuel: a New Discovery
B.A New Type of Global Energy Demand
C.We Can’t Use the Noise in Our Surroundings
D.Stadium Noise to Electricity: a Greener Future

The path network across Wales has been underfunded for years and it is becoming less and less accessible. This comes at a time when more and more people are exploring the outdoors.
Ramblers Cymru, a walking group, is launching a campaign calling on the Welsh Government to support a green recovery by investing in paths and access nationally to boost health an access to nature.
Angela Charlton, Director of Ramblers Cymru said, “We believe that people should not only have the right to access the outdoors but also know where they can access it. Missing and broken signage and blockages on the paths are becoming too common barriers to the enjoyment of being outdoors.”
“The path network is part of our cultural heritage, connecting communities and providing us with the all-important health and well-being benefits we need,” Angela said.
Ramblers Cymru hoped that 10% of the active travel budget arranged for public rights of way improvements would go some way to help the local authorities tackle the problems on the network. Alongside this, they would like to see a monitoring system in which local authorities are funded to monitor the paths, so they have a clear idea of the condition they are in and where the most extra investment is needed.
“Having been declared a national asset (资产) by the Welsh Government, our network needs to be protected and kept tabs on properly, so that we can build a healthier nation where people are connected to nature close to their communities,” Angela said.
Angela also added, “We want to be part of the solution and are already working on projects that support volunteers and local councils to take ownership of local paths, but so much more needs to be done.” Following the campaign, they will be submitting the pledges (誓言) to the Welsh Government in the autumn.
37.What is Ramblers Cymru’s purpose in launching a campaign?
A.To help people travel outdoors. B.To aid the government to invest.
C.To build a national path network. D.To call on people to donate money.
38.What does Angela Charlton probably expect the government to do?
A.Turn to common people. B.Restore the signs on the paths.
C.Enjoy staying in nature. D.Set up more communities.
39.What is Ramblers Cymru’s suggestion about the monitoring system?
A.The local authorities should fund it. B.The public should be responsible for it.
C.It should cost most of the active travel budget. D.It should be mainly used for checking on the paths.
40.What do the underlined words “kept tabs on” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Changed. B.Removed. C.Monitored. D.Listed.

Majid Ezzati, a public health expert, commented on the diabetes treatment situation in low-income countries. “Only 15% of patients with type 2 diabetes in these regions receive standard treatment. Most lack access to basic blood glucose monitoring tools, and the cost of essential drugs remains beyond their reach. Worse still, many rural clinics don’t have professional medical staff trained in diabetes care. This gap not only harms patients’ health but also places a heavy burden on local medical systems. We can’t ignore this issue any longer as it may trigger more public health crises.”
What is Majid Ezzati’s attitude toward the current treatment of diabetes in low-income countries?
A. Optimistic B. Doubtful C. Worried D. Tolerant
答案:C
详解:先定位文中 Majid Ezzati 的评论内容,提取关键情感线索 ——“Worse still” 强化问题的严重性,“can’t ignore”“trigger more public health crises” 表明对该情况的担忧。A 选项乐观与原文负面表述相悖;B 怀疑侧重对真实性存疑,而原文是明确指出问题危害;D 容忍不符合其强调问题需重视的态度。C 选项担忧契合其表述的情感基调,为正确答案。
抓情感词汇定态度基调:关注新闻中形容词、副词、动词等情感词。如 “remarkable”“fruitful” 表积极态度,“problematic”“worrying” 表消极态度,“objective”“neutral” 表中立态度。新闻多客观,但评论性段落中这类词汇是判断观点的关键。
析逻辑关系推隐含含义:借助 “however”“therefore”“as a result” 等逻辑词,理清事件的因果、转折等关联。例如通过 “尽管措施有效,但仍存在漏洞” 的转折关系,可推断作者认为需完善相关方案。
辨事实与观点划推断边界:区分新闻中的客观事实(如时间、数据)和主观观点(如评价、建议)。推断时不能脱离原文事实凭空臆想,也不能仅停留在事实表面,要挖掘事实背后的潜在意义。
排极端表述筛合理选项:排除 “never”“absolutely” 等绝对化表述的选项,也剔除与原文情感倾向相悖、无依据过度推断的选项,优先选择符合逻辑、表述委婉且贴合原文线索的答案。

Shanghai’s urban greening department has launched a new program to protect old and valuable trees. The program requires regular inspections of trees over 100 years old. For those with diseased branches or unstable roots, arborists will carry out targeted treatments. These include pruning dead branches, injecting pest - resistant chemicals and installing supporting brackets. The department emphasized that these measures are crucial to prevent the trees from withering. What’s more, the public is forbidden from engaging in activities that may damage the trees, such as carving on the trunks or tying ropes to the branches. Anyone who violates the rule will face a fine.
What does the underlined word “pruning” probably mean?
A. Cutting off B. Watering C. Measuring D. Protecting
答案:A
详解:先定位 “pruning” 所在句,其处于 “These include” 之后,该短语后列举的均是针对古树的治理措施。结合上下文,“pruning dead branches” 是处理病枝枯木的手段。B 选项浇水、C 选项测量均与处理枯树枝无关;D 选项保护是整体动作,而非针对枯树枝的具体操作。从逻辑上看,处理枯树枝的合理动作是修剪,即 “cutting off”,故 A 为正确答案。
依托解释性线索:新闻中遇专业术语或生词时,作者常以破折号、冒号、that is 等引出解释。比如科技类新闻中的专业词汇后,可能紧跟同位语说明含义,据此可快速猜词。
借助逻辑关系推导:通过转折词(but、however)找反义词,依托因果词(because、so)推导词义,利用并列词(and、or)找同义词。例如 “Unlike the tedious lecture, the workshop was engaging”,由 unlike 可判断 tedious 与 engaging 是反义。
运用构词法辅助:关注前缀(如 un - 表否定)、后缀(如 -able 表可… 的)和合成词。像新闻中 “eco - friendly”,由 eco(生态)和 friendly(友好的)可推测意为 “环保的”。
指代关系解题技巧
锁定就近范围:代词指代对象多在紧邻的上文 1 - 3 句内,优先找最近的名词或名词短语。指示代词 this/that 有时可指代前文整句话的观点。
遵循一致性原则:指代对象需和代词在单复数、词性上保持一致。比如复数代词 they,对应的指代对象必然是复数名词。
代入验证逻辑:将推测的指代对象代入原句,检查语义和上下文是否通顺,排除语义矛盾的干扰项。

Apple is making a new feature called Lockdown Mode to protect its products from the world’s most advanced spyware. This mode is for a small number of users targeted by the spyware. When turned on, Lockdown Mode will limit what apps, websites and features can do. For example, on an iPhone, it will block most message attachments and incoming calls from people the user hasn’t previously had a call with.
Last November, Apple accused a foreign cybersecurity (网络安全) company, PPP Group, of installing spyware to target Apple products used by journalists, business people, academics, and government officials. Apple claimed that PPP’s tools allowed attacks, including from some organizations willing to pay huge sums to target a tiny portion of users with valuable information.
Weeks earlier, Apple had updated its software to fix a fault that PPP had been exploiting to silently infect iPhones using iMessage. This fault allowed a rare and dangerous “zero-click” attack, where users could get infected without clicking on anything, according to the Citizen Lab, an academic research group.
PPP Group has said that it provides tools for police and security departments around the world to fight crime and has ended contacts with organizations that have abused its software. It argued that Apple’s lawsuit should be dismissed because it acts as an agent of foreign administrations. However, a central appeals court ruled that such immunity doesn’t apply to foreign companies. Apple’s lawsuit is currently on hold while the highest court reviews a related case involving PPP and Meta Platforms’ WhatsApp.
On Wednesday, PPP said it welcomes any solution that strengthens privacy. But it also said it’s important for security departments to be able to access encoded data for criminal investigations.
Apple plans to test the Lockdown feature soon and will release it widely this fall as part of its new operating systems for iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. “Lockdown Mode will reduce the attack surface and increase the costs for greedy spyware companies,” said Citizen Lab Director Ron Deibert. Apple will also give rewards of up to $2 million to researchers who find weaknesses in Lockdown Mode.
1.Which of the following statements about Lockdown Mode is true according to the passage?
A.It turns on automatically for all Apple devices.
B.It secures mobile devices with high-end hardware.
C.It reduces spyware profits with improved safeguards.
D.It enjoys great popularity among Apple users lately.
2.The phrase “such immunity” in paragraph 4 most probably refers to_______.
A.the ability to end contracts with misusing organizations
B.the power to provide tools for police to fight crime
C.the right of being informed of relevant cases
D.the freedom from being taken to court
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .
A.PPP Group takes no part in the “zero-click” attack
B.Apple’s lawsuit against PPP Group has been rejected
C.PPP Group’s tools are used safely by authorized agencies
D.Apple attaches great importance to the security of its users
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Apple challenges PPP Group over spyware impact
B.Apple plans tool to boost security against spyware
C.Apple performs past counter-measures against spyware
D.Apple initiates legal battle with PPP Group over spyware
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了苹果公司为了保护其产品免受世界上最先进的间谍软件攻击,正在开发一种名为“Lockdown Mode”的新功能。
1.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Lockdown Mode will reduce the attack surface and increase the costs for greedy spyware companies,” said Citizen Lab Director Ron Deibert.(公民实验室主任Ron Deibert表示:“锁定模式将减少攻击面,并增加那些贪婪的间谍软件公司的攻击成本。”)”可知,锁定模式会减少攻击面并增加间谍软件公司的攻击成本,从侧面可以推断出这会减少间谍软件公司的利润。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“PPP Group has said that it provides tools for police and security departments around the world to fight crime and has ended contacts with organizations that have abused its software. It argued that Apple’s lawsuit should be dismissed because it acts as an agent of foreign administrations. However, a central appeals court ruled that such immunity doesn’t apply to foreign companies. Apple’s lawsuit is currently on hold while the highest court reviews a related case involving PPP and Meta Platforms’ WhatsApp.(PPP集团表示,它为世界各地的警方和安全部门提供工具以打击犯罪,并且已经终止了与滥用其软件的组织的联系。该集团辩称,苹果公司的诉讼应该被驳回,因为苹果公司充当了外国政府的代理人。然而,一家中级上诉法院裁定,这种豁免权并不适用于外国公司。目前,苹果公司的诉讼处于搁置状态,与此同时,最高法院正在审查一起涉及PPP集团和Meta平台旗下WhatsApp的相关案件。)”可知,PPP 集团称苹果公司的诉讼应该被驳回,理由是它充当外国政府的代理人,它认为自己有某种“豁免权”。然而,中级上诉法院裁定这种“豁免权”不适用于外国公司,苹果公司的诉讼目前处于搁置状态,等待最高法院审查一起涉及PPP集团和Meta平台旗下WhatsApp的相关案件。这里的“such immunity”指的是PPP集团认为自己拥有的可以不被苹果公司起诉(即不被送上法庭)的权利。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Apple is making a new feature called Lockdown Mode to protect its products from the world’s most advanced spyware. This mode is for a small number of users targeted by the spyware. When turned on, Lockdown Mode will limit what apps, websites and features can do.(苹果公司正在推出一项名为“锁定模式”的新功能,以保护其产品免受世界上最先进的间谍软件的侵害。这一模式是为那些成为间谍软件攻击目标的少数用户而设计的。当该模式开启时,它将限制应用程序、网站和功能的运行。)”、第三段“Weeks earlier, Apple had updated its software to fix a fault that PPP had been exploiting to silently infect iPhones using iMessage.(几周前,苹果公司更新了其软件,以修复PPP集团一直在利用的一个漏洞,该漏洞曾让其能够通过iMessage悄然感染iPhone。)”可知,苹果公司采取了多种措施来保障用户的安全,说明它非常重视用户的安全。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇指出苹果公司正在推出名为“锁定模式”的新功能,以保护其产品免受最先进的间谍软件侵害,接着介绍了苹果公司此前与PPP集团的纠纷,包括PPP集团利用苹果软件漏洞进行间谍软件攻击,苹果公司更新软件修复漏洞等情况,还提到了PPP集团的回应以及苹果公司诉讼的进展,最后强调苹果公司计划测试“锁定模式”功能并将其广泛推出,以及为发现该功能弱点的研究人员提供奖励。文章主要围绕苹果公司计划推出新工具——锁定模式,来加强对间谍软件的防范展开。选项B“Apple plans tool to boost security against spyware(苹果公司计划推出工具以增强对间谍软件的防范)”准确地概括了文章的核心内容,即苹果公司计划推出“锁定模式”这一工具来提高对间谍软件的安全防护。故选B。

A recent groundbreaking study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) forecasts massive financial damages due to climate change, projecting annual damages of about $38 trillion ($38 million million) by the year 2050. This figure highlights the severe economic challenges that lie ahead on a global scale, with the greatest impacts expected to burden the countries least responsible for greenhouse emissions (排放).
The economic damage, estimated between $19 trillion to $59 trillion by mid-century, primarily stems from increased temperatures and their subsequent impact on agriculture, labor productivity, and infrastructure (基础设施). The study also notes potential increases in costs due to more frequent and severe weather events, which are expected to become more common as global temperatures rise.
The findings reveal a disconcerting disparity: nations within the tropical (热带的) regions, which have contributed least to historical carbon emissions, are predicted to suffer income losses 60% greater than those in higher-income, higher-emission countries. This highlights a significant climate justice issue, as these least-developed nations possess fewer resources to adapt to increasing climate impacts.
Anders Levermann, head of complexity science at PIK and co-author of the study, emphasized the inequity and urgency of the situation. “Countries in the tropics will suffer the most because they are already warmer. Further temperature increases will therefore be most harmful there,” he explained. Levermann argues for a rapid structural shift towards renewable energy to ease these impacts and stabilize global temperatures.
When placed alongside other major climate impact forecasts, the PIK study stands out for its comprehensive data analysis and harsh projections. Previous studies have similarly highlighted the economic damages of climate change but lacked the extensive regional and specific insights this study provides.
The study strongly advocates for great and immediate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst of these economic damages. It suggests that slowing climate change is not only a moral and environmental must but also economically advantageous, as the cost of inaction is far greater than the expenses associated with reducing global warming to manageable levels.
The socioeconomic consequences of such extensive economic losses could lead to heightened global inequality and potentially, social unrest. This projection stresses the importance of international cooperation in climate action plans and the development of fair policies that recognize and make up for the inequities faced by the less developed nations most affected by climate change.
5.Climate change will cause massive economic damage worldwide by 2050 mainly because _____.
A.the average world temperature will increase much faster than expected
B.rising temperatures will damage farming, infrastructure and productivity
C.big countries will experience economic crises due to more severe weather events
D.tropical regions are unprepared to adapt to the damages caused by climate change
6.By “a disconcerting disparity” in paragraph 3, the author means _____.
A.poor countries least responsible for emission will suffer most in economy
B.it is projected that people in tropical countries will earn 60% less by 2050
C.higher-income countries are reluctant to invest in slowing global warming
D.higher-emission countries are trying to justify their role in climate impacts
7.The PIK study arouses the public attention due to _____.
A.its rigid climate impact forecasts
B.its overall statistics and the severity of its findings
C.its different approach to analyzing data
D.its similar regional insights on economic damages
8.What does the PIK study imply?
A.Fair policies should be established to avoid further rising of temperatures.
B.Reducing gas emissions will benefit the environment but harm the economy.
C.Inequality should be reduced through cooperation in fighting climate change.
D.Wealthy countries should bear the whole cost of coping with global warming.
【答案】5.B 6.A 7.B 8.C
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了波茨坦气候影响研究所(PIK)最近的一项突破性研究预测,气候变化会造成巨大的经济损失,预计到2050年,每年的损失约为38万亿美元。这一数字凸显了全球范围内面临的严峻经济挑战,预计受到最大影响的是对温室气体排放负责最少的国家。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“The economic damage, estimated between $19 trillion to $59 trillion by mid-century, primarily stems from increased temperatures and their subsequent impact on agriculture, labor productivity, and infrastructure (基础设施).(到本世纪中叶,经济损失估计在19万亿到59万亿美元之间,主要来自气温升高及其对农业、劳动生产率和基础设施的影响)”可知,到2050年,气候变化将在全球范围内造成巨大的经济损失,主要是因为气温上升将破坏农业、基础设施和生产力。故选B。
6.推理判断题。根据第四段“The findings reveal a disconcerting disparity: nations within the tropical (热带的) regions, which have contributed least to historical carbon emissions, are predicted to suffer income losses 60% greater than those in higher-income, higher-emission countries. This highlights a significant climate justice issue, as these least-developed nations possess fewer resources to adapt to increasing climate impacts.(研究结果揭示了一个令人不安的差异:历史上碳排放量最少的热带地区国家,预计将比那些高收入、高排放的国家遭受60%的收入损失。这凸显了一个重要的气候正义问题,因为这些最不发达国家拥有的资源更少,无法适应日益严重的气候影响)”可知,作者在第3段中所说的“令人不安的差距”是指对排放负责最少的贫穷国家将在经济上遭受最大的损失。故选A。
7.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“When placed alongside other major climate impact forecasts, the PIK study stands out for its comprehensive data analysis and harsh projections.(与其他主要气候影响预测相比,PIK的研究以其全面的数据分析和严格的预测而脱颖而出)”可知,PIK的研究因其全面的统计数据和研究结果的严重性引起了公众的关注。故选B。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“This projection stresses the importance of international cooperation in climate action plans and the development of fair policies that recognize and make up for the inequities faced by the less developed nations most affected by climate change.(这一预测强调了在气候行动计划和制定公平政策方面开展国际合作的重要性,这些政策承认并弥补受气候变化影响最严重的欠发达国家所面临的不平等)”可知,PIK研究暗示了通过合作应对气候变化减少不平等。故选C。

In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them.
So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in.
“We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.”
Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible.
Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure- all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert.
For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away.
9.What is NOT mentioned as a problem the Allens meet with?
A.Physical weakness due to the broken bone.
B.Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules.
C.Failure to handle certain fixing tasks due to limited mobility.
D.Difficulty in traveling to public places alone due to physical condition.
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.People like Allens gather to live in a special place for shared elderly caring.
B.The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens.
C.Senior people give up “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children.
D.“Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call.
11.The underlined word precipitous in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
A.alternative B.fake C.rushed D.joint
12.Which of the following is probably the title of the passage?
A.US grey band fights to stay at home
B.Attention, US seniors are suffering
C.At home vs Nursing home-a hard choice for US seniors
D.US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了关于老年人如何在社区中保持独立生活,以及一个由居民自发组织的运动,旨在使社区成为老年人舒适生活的地方的现象。
9.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them.(在波托马克河附近的一个小镇上,82岁的George和Anne Allen夫妇正努力留在他们心爱的三层楼房和社区里。Allen先生自从在楼梯上摔倒摔断了脊椎后,走路就一直很困难,而且考虑到他的身体状况,他在驾照到期续签时可能会失去驾驶资格。Allen太太最近下床时不小心弄伤了脚。他们俩都无法爬上梯子去换灯泡,也无法在洗碗池下弯腰修理漏水。如果没有外界的帮助,对他们来说,去商店和公共场所将意味着难以想象的艰难跋涉)”可知,选项A、C和D都是Allen夫妇所遇到的问题。选项B“Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules.(因违反交通规则而可能失去驾照)”并未提及。故选B。
10.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away.(为了获得启发,“就地养老”团体现在每年支付会费——个人580美元,以此换取安全保障,知道木匠、厨师、计算机专家或家庭健康助手只需一个电话就能随叫随到)”可知,“就地养老”团体现在每年支付会费,以确保知道木匠、厨师、计算机专家或家庭健康助手只需一个电话就能随叫随到。故选D。
11.词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Although not the cure — all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. (虽然这种方法并不能解决所有复杂医疗需求的问题,但它解决了专家所说的老年人因相对较小的问题而草率放弃家园的过早决定。随着这些小问题的不断累积,有时再加上成年子女的压力,老年房主会感到措手不及。没有足够的帮助而留在家里是令人害怕的)”可推测,如果遇到很多问题,老人会仓促作出决定。再根据所在句““If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert.(“如果人们不感到那么无助,他们就不必______ 做出决定。实际上,像搬进养老院这样的做法是很难逆转的,”一位专家说)”可推测,划线单词和“仓促间”意思相符。选项C“rushed(匆忙)”与此意义相近。故选C。
12.主旨大意题。根据第二段“So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in.(因此,Allen夫妇与他们的邻居们团结起来,邻居们也同样决心避免因为依赖他人而被迫离开自己的家。与全国100多个社区一样,他们的团体也是致力于让社区成为老年人舒适生活的地方的运动的一部分)”以及第四段“Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. (他们的团体已经注册为非营利性公司,正在设定会员费,并正在组织交通、房屋维修、陪伴、安全和其他服务的提供者,以满足他们在家里尽可能长时间生活的需求。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要描述了美国老年人为了能在自己家中养老,即“就地养老”(aging in place),所做的努力和斗争。他们通过自发组织,确保自己能在熟悉的社区环境中养老,而无需被迫搬离到养老院或其他护理机构。选项A“US grey band fights to stay at home”直接反映了文章的主旨,即美国老年人为了能在自己家中养老所做的斗争。其中,“grey band”形象地描述了老年人群体,而“fights to stay at home”则准确地概括了他们的行动和目标,适合作为文章标题。故选A。

Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”
Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs.
Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.”
13.The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______.
A.the origin of BallMatics B.the challenges facing BallMatics
C.the start of a lifelong friendship D.the dedication of the young teachers
14.What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”?
A.The students’ progress in their mathematic skills.
B.The students’ changed attitude towards math.
C.The data collected about the students’ goal percentage.
D.The efficiency in determining the winning team.
15.What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas?
A.They will be forbidden to leave any training session.
B.They will be obliged to earn a training degree first.
C.They will have to attend classes at a private school.
D.They will be banned from playing in the game.
16.The best title for the article is ______.
A.The Basics of Math B.The Road to Success
C.A Sports Principle D.A Numbers Game
【答案】13.A 14.B 15.D 16.D

This February, a pet owner left his mother cat and her kitten with a pet sitter from Xiaohongshu. Only three days later, both cats fell from the 19th floor and died. “The owner was in great emotional pain — he’d had the cats since they were little.” said Lawyer Cui. Instead of going to court, the two parties came to a deal with Cui’s assistance: the sitter would pay a few thousand yuan in small monthly parts.
Cui, 27, has practiced law in Chengdu since 2020 and went independent in 2023. At first, he handled many civil cases, but the heavy work tired him out. One late night, with his long-haired cat Ultraman quiet beside him, he had a sudden idea: “I love pets. Why not focus on legal problems about them?” This special area has few lawyers in China. Since then, Cui has taken cases like pet medical mistakes, sale lies, and accidental deaths.
A 2024 Goldman Sachs report says China’s pet number first passed kids under 4. By 2030, it may be nearly twice that. As pet ownership surges in China, such disputes (纠纷) are becoming more common. Pets are increasingly viewed as family members, yet the legal system has been slow to adapt.
China still lacks a dedicated animal protection law. Lawyers often use general rules from the Civil Code, which only bring light punishments. “The legal vacuum is the biggest challenge,” Cui said. “Without clear statutes, it’s difficult to protect pets or their owners effectively.”
Yet Cui remains optimistic. He started a WeChat group “Pet Legal Alliance” with over 1,000 lawyers (all pet owners too). They share resources and push for better rules. Cui likes to mediate (调解) instead of long court fights. Still, he believes change is coming. “Pets are not property. They are life companions. The law should reflect that,” he said.
17.What was the result of the two cats’ case?
A.It was put off for new evidence. B.It was successfully solved in court.
C.The lawyer helped reach a settlement. D.The sitter delayed repaying the owner.
18.Why did lawyer Cui decide to take pet-related work?
A.To follow his own heart. B.To decrease career risks.
C.To gain special inspiration. D.To lower his expectations.
19.What is the main purpose of mentioning the WeChat group?
A.To display the group’s daily activities. B.To stress pet topics’popularity online.
C.To point out the inefficiency of lawsuits. D.To showcase a joint effort for pet legal rights.
20.What can be inferred about Cui?
A.He is confused about civil cases. B.He is passionate about court fights.
C.He shows indifference to challenges. D.He possesses a sharp market awareness.

Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause collisions with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.
21.What is West Town Bike according to the text?
A.A project on protecting pedestrians.
B.A school offering teens bike safety training.

Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL.
The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained.
“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.”
As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.”
The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared.
25.What is Finger Dance?
A.A machine learning device. B.A real-time translation tool.
C.An app assisting to learn ASL. D.A program aimed for the deaf.
26.Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities?
A.To win a series of technological contests.
B.To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person.
C.To create scientific innovation projects by coding.

In May, 2025, four British men have successfully completed a high-speed expedition (探险) on Mount Everest, reaching the peak in just five days.
Garth Miller, Alistair Carns, Anthony Stazicker and Kevin Godlington climbed the towering peak with help from the Austrian guiding company Furtenbach Adventures. The team also included five Sherpa guides and a cameraman. But these were not the deciding factors for their success. Climbers who want to climb Everest typically must spend weeks or months getting used to the thin air, but this team finished much faster. Their success came from months of home preparation: They slept in special low-oxygen tents to mimic (模仿) the effects of high mountains, and exercised while wearing equipment that reduced oxygen intake.
Additionally, the climbers received a special treatment in Germany: breathing a small amount of xenon (氙气) mixed with oxygen for under an hour. Discovered in the 1800s, this gas has medical uses and may help the body handle thin air. The team hoped the xenon treatment might give them an extra boost, but they admitted it wasn’t essential. However, the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation(ICMF)argues there’s no proof that xenon improves mountain performance, and wrong use can be risky.
Some mountaineers oppose xenon gas. They see it as an unfair advantage. “If you’re promoting xenon as a performance enhancer, but you’re not also willing to examine what that means for fairness and integrity in the mountains, it’s a problem,” says Adrian Ballinger, an American mountain guide who leads Everest expeditions.
Using xenon could let climbers spend less time and money preparing in Nepal. Nepalese tourism officials said they didn’t know the British team planned to climb Everest without standard preparation. “We’ll discuss this and decide future policies,” stated tourism director Narayan Regmi. The climbers noted that Everest expeditions now accept practices once forbidden, like extra oxygen or helicopter flights to base camp. They argued their fast climb reduced risks and environmental harm.
29.What’s the main reason for the four men’s reaching the peak in just five days?
A.They consulted a specific company. B.They had enough training at home.
C.They hired experienced guides. D.They carried unusual oxygen.
30.What was the four climbers’ purpose in using xenon?
A.To fight against the ICMF’s comments on it. B.To test its actual effectiveness on climbers.
C.To promote more applications in medicine. D.To add more assurance to their expedition.
31.Why do some mountaineers object to the use of xenon?
A.It is considered an unfair shortcut. B.It has questionable effects.
C.It destroys the environment. D.It brings them less profit.
32.What might be Nepal officials’ attitude to using xenon in climbing mountains?
A.Dismissive. B.Disapproving. C.Tolerant. D.Appreciative.

Gyeongyun Lily Min spent the last seven months in a makeshift laboratory she set up in her parent’s garage, working hard to turn vibrations produced by sound waves in sports arenas into electrical energy.
The 17-year-old rising senior’s idea began to take shape when watching Disney’s Monsters, Inc. In the 2001 film, energy is generated from children’s screams. Without the cruelty, Gyeongyun thought, the concept could help meet the global demand for sustainable energy.
“I began to wonder if, in reality, with the help of piezoelectric effect (压电效应), we could use the abundant noise in environments like sports arenas to generate electricity.” explains Gyeongyun. Certain materials in the environment produce large amounts of mechanical energy as vibrations or shocks. This energy is largely wasted. However, with the piezoelectric effect, it is possible to change this energy into electric energy. Mixing her curiosity with her passion for science and innovation, the young student set out to explore a new way to meet global energy demands and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Today, with over 60 percent of global electricity generated by fossil fuels, the world continues to be heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources. According to a recent report by the World Nuclear Association, which promotes the global nuclear energy industry, over 40 percent of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year are due to the burning of fossil fuels for electricity generation.
With her eco-friendly technology, Gyeongyun secured a spot as a finalist in this year’s Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest global science competition for high school students.
According to Gyeongyun, a sports arena is the suitable location for her project because it represents a unique environment with lots of noise of the cheering crowds, announcements and music.
“Although this technology is not yet realistically applicable due to the current limitations in the sensitivity and efficiency of piezoelectric materials, by advancing the quality of piezoelectric devices, we can unlock a new way of sustainable energy production, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.” she says.
33.Gyeongyun thought of turning noise into electricity because of _________.
A.the encounter in the garage B.her curiosity about science
C.the inspiration from a Disney film D.her concern about the global problem
34.What’s the function of Para. 4?
A.To highlight the profits of Gyeongyun’s project.
B.To illustrate the necessity of Gyeongyun’s project.
C.To indicate the importance of using less fossil fuels.

35.What can we imply from the last paragraph?
A.The development should be sped up.
B.The technology has been widely applied.
C.Gyeongyun has overcome technology barriers.
D.Gyeongyun remains hopeful about his project.
36.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Traffic Noise to Fuel: a New Discovery
B.A New Type of Global Energy Demand
C.We Can’t Use the Noise in Our Surroundings
D.Stadium Noise to Electricity: a Greener Future

The path network across Wales has been underfunded for years and it is becoming less and less accessible. This comes at a time when more and more people are exploring the outdoors.
Ramblers Cymru, a walking group, is launching a campaign calling on the Welsh Government to support a green recovery by investing in paths and access nationally to boost health an access to nature.
Angela Charlton, Director of Ramblers Cymru said, “We believe that people should not only have the right to access the outdoors but also know where they can access it. Missing and broken signage and blockages on the paths are becoming too common barriers to the enjoyment of being outdoors.”
“The path network is part of our cultural heritage, connecting communities and providing us with the all-important health and well-being benefits we need,” Angela said.
Ramblers Cymru hoped that 10% of the active travel budget arranged for public rights of way improvements would go some way to help the local authorities tackle the problems on the network. Alongside this, they would like to see a monitoring system in which local authorities are funded to monitor the paths, so they have a clear idea of the condition they are in and where the most extra investment is needed.
“Having been declared a national asset (资产) by the Welsh Government, our network needs to be protected and kept tabs on properly, so that we can build a healthier nation where people are connected to nature close to their communities,” Angela said.
Angela also added, “We want to be part of the solution and are already working on projects that support volunteers and local councils to take ownership of local paths, but so much more needs to be done.” Following the campaign, they will be submitting the pledges (誓言) to the Welsh Government in the autumn.
37.What is Ramblers Cymru’s purpose in launching a campaign?
A.To help people travel outdoors. B.To aid the government to invest.
C.To build a national path network. D.To call on people to donate money.
38.What does Angela Charlton probably expect the government to do?
A.Turn to common people. B.Restore the signs on the paths.
C.Enjoy staying in nature. D.Set up more communities.
39.What is Ramblers Cymru’s suggestion about the monitoring system?
A.The local authorities should fund it. B.The public should be responsible for it.
C.It should cost most of the active travel budget. D.It should be mainly used for checking on the paths.
40.What do the underlined words “kept tabs on” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Changed. B.Removed. C.Monitored. D.Listed.
