Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice—which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways： Farmers can change WHAT they plant. This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop. FOUR KEY WAYS Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise or fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures. Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change. Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work. A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods —changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat. These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future. 1. What may farmers change if they are short of money and labour? A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN D. HOW. 2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat. 3. What should be done in the future? A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods. C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候变化下农民的应对策略及影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中的内容“Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.(农民可以改变种植时间。农民可以根据春天的到来时间在一年中早些或晚些种植。调整种植日期不需要额外的成本或工作)”可知，如果农民资金和劳动力短缺，他们可以改变种植时间（WHEN）。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.(小麦和水稻受益于大气中更多的二氧化碳，产量可能会增加，而玉米和高粱的产量可能会随着气温升高而下降)”以及表格中“Or a different variety of a specific crop.(或者是一种特定作物的不同品种)”可推测，如果农民种植改良品种，水稻可能受益最多，因为原本它就会因大气中二氧化碳增多而增产，改良品种可能进一步促进其增产。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.(如果特定地区（尤其是那些粮食最不安全的地区）的农民无法适应气候变化，这仍然是一个重大问题。所以我们未来还可以做更多事情)”可推断，未来应该帮助有需要的农民。故选A。 B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式):1=0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.999999… repeating itself without ever ending. There was something foreign but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that:1=0.999999… and live a life like it. 4. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 5. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 6. What does the author think of “1=0.9”? A. They reveal the meaning of life. B. They are reliable in expressing ideas. C. They are useful in learning maths. D. They give limited possibilities. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Why the equation exists everywhere? B. Which equation is important for people? C. How numbers can express ideas like words? D. When numbers can easily make up equations? 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过数学等式“1=0.999...”的思想实验，讲述了自己认知的转变：从坚信只有文字能捕捉灵魂的本质，到领悟数字同样拥有强大而诗意的表达力，并能揭示人生的哲理。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.(文学作品包含了如此独特的故事，以至于它们塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图揭示的问题，也构成了这些问题本身的答案。文字就是一切。)”可知，作者在本段强调的是文字具有塑造认知、构成问题与答案的强大能力，即其表达力。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“There was something foreign but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个等式有点奇怪，但很吸引人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个有尽头的数字。右边是一个无穷无尽的东西，一个重复无数次的数字。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了。)”可知，令作者着迷的核心在于两个看似截然不同、甚至“对立”的数字通过等号相连而相等这一矛盾又统一的事实。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.(躺在床上，我思考着这个等式与我们的存在是多么相似。等式的左边代表着：有时生命本身是如此不可更改，如此清晰明了——就像你出生那天和终将逝去那天那般具体而确切的整数。然而，在生与死之间存在着那段间隔。等式的右边则意味着一个充满无限可能性的时空，以及面向开放未来的无尽机遇。)”可知，作者将等式两边分别比喻为生命中确定的东西(如出生和死亡的日期)和充满无限可能的部分，由此可推知，作者认为这个等式揭示了生命的意义。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章开头“I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul.(我曾经相信，只有语言才能捕捉到人类灵魂的本质。)”提到作者曾相信只有文字能捕捉人类灵魂的本质，后来通过一个等式的启发，作者最终得出结论“So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can.(所以，也许数字能和文字一样好地表达思想。)”由此可知，文章主要探讨的是数字如何能像文字一样表达思想。故选C。 C Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (认知的) crisis of our time. In a recent article in The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch noted that “university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem”, and many American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages. Actually, accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity. Even in the early 20th century, Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose (散文), explaining it as a result of readers’ inability to engage with the linguistic complexity of poetry. Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued. Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits. Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated. Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow. This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value. “Students can still read books,” Horowitch wrote. “They’re just choosing not to.” This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why? Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention. In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background. A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits. Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize? What of the rapid, quick-fire, written exchanges of instant messaging? The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters? What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games? These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink — with history as our guide — how we might approach long-form culture in fresh and flexible ways. 8. What does the underlined word “accusations” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Criticisms. B. Origins. C. Trends. D. Indicators. 9. What does the increase of audiobook listeners imply according to Horowitch? A. Printed books are less accessible. B. Reading preferences have changed. C. Digital reading devices are more popular. D. Modern people have limited reading time. 10. Why does the author mention the Invisible Gorilla Experiment in paragraph 4? A. To display the difficulty of multitasking. B. To illustrate the limitation of focused attention. C. To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life. D. To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports. 11. What will probably be discussed next? A. More valuable lessons taught by history. B. Challenges facing the young generation. C. The impact of technology on literacy skills. D. Strategies for book reading in the digital age. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。探讨了现代社会中注意力分散的现象及其背后的原因。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued.(几十年来，关于注意力的类似抱怨一直在继续)”可知，本段介绍了对注意力下降的指责，推知accusations应是“指责”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits. Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated. Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow. This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value. “Students can still read books,” Horowitch wrote. “They’re just choosing not to.”(然而，霍洛维奇认为，我们可能正在目睹消费习惯的转变，而不是阅读能力的丧失。现在的学生认为读书就像听老唱片一样——过时了。与此同时，有声书的受欢迎程度也在持续增长。这表明，问题不在于无法阅读长篇小说，而在于人们的价值观发生了转变。“学生们仍然可以读书，”霍洛维奇写道。“他们只是选择不这么做。”)”可知，有声书听众的增加意味着阅读偏好已经改变。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why? Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention. In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background. A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits.(这就提出了一个更深层次的问题：我们真正需要什么样的关注，为什么？心理学家区分了集中注意力和广泛注意力。在著名的“看不见的大猩猩实验”中，计算篮球传球次数的参与者没有注意到背景中有一个穿着大猩猩服装的人在跳舞。相比之下，更广泛的关注可能涉及不同的认知技能，并提供独特的好处)”可知，本段提到隐形大猩猩实验是为了说明专注注意力的局限性，即过于集中注意力可能导致忽略其他重要信息。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize? What of the rapid, quick-fire, written exchanges of instant messaging? The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters? What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games? These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink—with history as our guide—how we might approach long-form culture in fresh and flexible ways.(年轻一代是否正在发展有价值的注意力模式，而我们却没有意识到？那么快速、快速、书面的即时通讯交流呢？用140或280个字符写出简短而聪明的陈述的艺术？那么电子游戏中需要的技能和快速反应呢？这些与内容互动的新方式要求我们重新思考——以历史为指导——我们如何以新鲜而灵活的方式接近长篇文化)”可知，接下来可能会讨论如何在数字时代以新的方式重新融入长篇文化，也就是数字时代的阅读策略。故选D项。 D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities. There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated (培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients. The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.” 12. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph? A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements. C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine. 13. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4? A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots. B. The seriousness of the environmental issues. C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab. D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones. 14. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots? A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B. Arranging the electrode in the right order. C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia. D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature C. King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种将生物和科技结合起来的机器人，介绍了其工作原理以及存在的挑战。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.(通过插头或电池供电，这些简单的机器人创造物可能并不引人注目，但这两个机器人的与众不同之处在于，它们是由一种生物控制的：一种王牡蛎蘑菇)”可知，两个机器人部分是蘑菇，部分是机器。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.(生物混合机器人要走出实验室还有很长的路要走，但研究人员希望有一天机器水母可以探索海洋，精子驱动的机器人可以提供生育治疗，半机器人蟑螂可以在地震后寻找幸存者)”可知，作者在第4段中给出的例子想要说明生物混合机器人的未来可能性。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“ The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra.(研究小组发现，设计一个能够检测并使用来自菌丝体的小电信号来指挥机器人的系统是一项挑战该研究的主要作者阿南德·米什拉说：“你必须确保电极接触到正确的位置，因为菌丝非常薄。”)”可知，在设计机器人时，团队发现难以将电极准确定位在菌丝上。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.(通过将蘑菇的菌丝体植入机器人的硬件，康奈尔大学研究人员领导的一个团队设计了两种类型的机器人，它们通过蘑菇发出的电信号和对光的敏感性来感知和响应环境)”结合文章主要介绍了一种将生物和科技结合起来的机器人，介绍了其工作原理以及存在的挑战可知，A选项“当自然遇上科技”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 It was a winter morning when I received a package with no return address. The plain brown wrapping gave no clues, and my name was handwritten in shaky letters. ____16____ Inside was a small wooden box, its surface carved with intricate patterns of vines and birds. I lifted the lid. A faint scent of cedar (雪松) filled the air. ____17____ It was my grandmother’s brooch (胸针) — the one she always wore to Sunday dinners, with a single pearl suspended like a dewdrop. She had passed away three months earlier, and the family assumed the jewelry had been lost in the chaos of her estate. My hands trembled as I picked it up. ____18____ The weight of the brooch in my palm felt like a connection to a past I had been neglecting. Then I noticed a slip of paper tucked beneath the velvet lining. The handwriting matched the package: “For the girl who loved listening to stories under the old oak tree. Keep this close when you write yours.” ____19____ Only Grandma called me that during our summer visits. I hadn’t seen her in two years before her death — too busy with school and friends to visit. Guilt washed over me like a tide. How easily life’s distractions can pull us away from what truly matters. That evening, I examined the brooch under lamplight. ____20____ The year Grandma and I had spent afternoons recording made-up tales about the birds in her garden. I sat there, tears blurring my vision, as I remembered those carefree days. From that moment on, I vowed never to let life’s busyness overshadow the simple joys of family and connection. A. A glimmer of silver caught my eye. B. The nickname “Storybird” leaped out at me. C. The postmark showed a town 200 miles away. D. On the back was a date, the summer I turned ten. E. Whoever sent this knew my childhood intimately. F. For a moment, I simply stared, afraid it might vanish. G. Layers of dust suggested it hadn’t been opened for decades. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了冬日“我”收到无址包裹，内有祖母胸针及纸条。胸针勾起对祖母的回忆“我”愧疚于曾疏远她，发誓珍视亲情与简单快乐。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It was a winter morning when I received a package with no return address. The plain brown wrapping gave no clues, and my name was handwritten in shaky letters. (那是一个冬天的早晨，我收到了一个没有回信地址的包裹。普通的棕色包装没有任何线索，我的名字是用摇摇晃晃的字母手写的。)”可知，本句承接上文，继续介绍作者收到的包裹的情况。故C选项“邮戳显示的是200英里外的一个城镇。”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“I lifted the lid. A faint scent of cedar (雪松) filled the air. (我打开盖子。空气中弥漫着淡淡的雪松香味。)”以及后文“It was my grandmother’s brooch (胸针) — the one she always wore to Sunday dinners, with a single pearl suspended like a dewdrop. (那是我祖母的胸针——她总是戴着它去参加星期天的晚宴，胸针上挂着一颗珍珠，像露珠一样。)”可知，打开木盒后，首先映入眼帘的应是胸针的外观。A选项衔接“lifted the lid” 的动作，自然引出对胸针的描述。故A选项“一道银光映入我的眼帘。”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“My hands trembled as I picked it up. (当我把它拿起来时，我的手在颤抖。)”可知，手颤抖着拿起胸针，说明作者初见已故祖母遗物时的震惊与珍视，故F选项“有那么一会儿，我只是盯着看，害怕它会消失。”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Only Grandma called me that during our summer visits. I hadn’t seen her in two years before her death — too busy with school and friends to visit. Guilt washed over me like a tide. How easily life’s distractions can pull us away from what truly matters. (只有奶奶在我们夏天来的时候才这么叫我。在她去世前的两年里，我没有见过她，因为我忙于学校和朋友，没有时间去看望她。内疚如潮水般涌上我的心头。生活是多么容易让我们分心，让我们远离真正重要的事情。)”可知，纸条上的“the girl who loved listening to stories”对应祖母对 “我”的昵称，本句点明纸条内容的特殊意义。故B选项“‘故事鸟’的绰号一下子吸引了我。”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“That evening, I examined the brooch under lamplight. (那天晚上，我在灯光下细看那枚胸针。)”以及后文“The year Grandma and I had spent afternoons recording made-up tales about the birds in her garden. I sat there, tears blurring my vision, as I remembered those carefree days. (那年，我和奶奶花了几个下午的时间，编造了一些关于她花园里鸟儿的故事。我坐在那里，回忆起那些无忧无虑的日子，泪水模糊了我的视线。)”可知，本句引出对童年与祖母相处时光的回忆，说明端详胸针时发现背面的日期，故D选项“背面是一个日期，是我十岁那年的夏天。”符合语境，故选D。 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。 Sargassum is the smelly seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean.

In my view, the “English Drama Club” would be an excellent choice as it meets our needs in several ways. To begin with, performing English dramas can help us improve our English in a more vivid way. Through role-playing different characters, students can practice pronunciation and everyday expressions in engaging, real-life contexts. This method moves beyond traditional learning, making language acquisition both practical and enjoyable. Besides, practising dramas requires cooperation between members. It fosters essential skills such as teamwork, creative problem-solving, and public speaking confidence — assets that extend far beyond the language classroom. I am convinced that the Drama Club would not only enhance our proficiency but also cultivate a vibrant, collaborative community. I truly hope my suggestion can be taken into consideration.

Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours. Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert. Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar?” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway? What if he goes hungry?” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction. Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family. David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When David shared Robert’s story online, it quickly gained attention. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote. It was drawn with meticulous detail. Sarah and David were touched by Robert’s artistic endeavor and the effort he had put into creating a personalized payment. They knew that it wasn’t about the monetary value, but the genuine connection that they had established with Robert. The couple decided to display Robert’s hand-drawn banknote in a special frame on the wall of their noodle shop. Customers were intrigued by the story behind the artwork, and some thought it would be very inspirational if David shared it with more people. When David shared Robert’s story online, it quickly gained attention. People started coming to Sarah and David’s noodle shop not just for the delicious food, but also to support their act of kindness. The couple received messages and phone calls from individuals who wanted to help Robert in any way they could. Some offered financial assistance, while others volunteered to provide companionship and support for Robert. With the ongoing support, Robert’s life took a positive turn. Indeed, a small act of kindness can have a ripple effect, creating a more beautiful world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了David和Sarah夫妻两人经营着一家不起眼的面馆，一天老人Robert走进面馆点了一碗面，给了一张破旧的一元钞票，虽然一碗面要五元，但是David毫不迟疑地收下了，给他端上面条，Robert狼吞虎咽地吃下面，夫妻两人很同情他。接下来，Robert成了面馆的常客，夫妻两人得知他有轻微的智力障碍，日子很艰难，但在尽力独立生活，于是总是默默地帮助他。几个月里，Robert只在人少的时候来，付的钱越来越少，直到他没有钱了。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，Robert带着一些不寻常的东西来了——一张手绘的钞票”可知，第一段可描写David和Sarah被Robert的用心打动，以及他们把这张钞票收藏在店里，引起了顾客的兴趣。 ②由第二段首句内容“当David在网上分享Robert的故事时，很快引起了人们的关注”可知，第二段可描写人们来光顾David和Sarah的面馆，以及帮助Robert。 2. 续写线索：Robert带来手绘钞票——David和Sarah被打动——David和Sarah收藏手绘钞票——David分享Robert的故事——人们光顾面馆——人们帮助Robert 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①建立：establish/set up/build ②展示：display/show/demonstrate ③帮助：support/help/aid/assist ④提供：offer/provide/give ⑤创造：create/generate/produce 情绪类 ①触动：touch/move ②鼓舞人心的：inspirational/encouraging/stirring 【点睛】[高分句型1] They knew that it wasn’t about the monetary value, but the genuine connection that they had established with Robert.

Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice—which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways： Farmers can change WHAT they plant. This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop. FOUR KEY WAYS Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise or fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures. Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change. Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work. A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods —changing WHAT changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat. These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future. 1. What may farmers change if they are short of money and labour? A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN D. HOW. 2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat. 3. What should be done in the future? A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods. C To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions. B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式):1=0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.999999… repeating itself without ever ending. There was something foreign but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that:1=0.999999… and live a life like it. 4. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 5. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 6. What does the author think of “1=0.9”? A. They reveal the meaning of life. B. They are reliable in expressing ideas. C. They are useful in learning maths. D. They give limited possibilities. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Why the equation exists everywhere? B. Which equation is important for people? C. How numbers can express ideas like words? D. When numbers can easily make up equations? C Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (认知的) crisis of our time. In a recent article in The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch noted that “university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem”, and many American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages. Actually, accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity. Even in the early 20th century, Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose (散文), explaining it as a result of readers’ inability to engage with the linguistic complexity of poetry. Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued. Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits. Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated. Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow. This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value. “Students can still read books,” Horowitch wrote. “They’re just choosing not to.” This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why? Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention. In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background. A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits. Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize? What of the rapid, quick-fire, written exchanges of instant messaging? The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters? What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games? These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink — with history as our guide — how we might approach long-form culture in fresh and flexible ways. 8. What does the underlined word “accusations” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Criticisms. B. Origins. C. Trends. D. Indicators. 9. What does the increase of audiobook listeners imply according to Horowitch? A. Printed books are less accessible. B. Reading preferences have changed. C. Digital reading devices are more popular. D. Modern people have limited reading time. 10 Why does the author mention the Invisible Gorilla Experiment in paragraph 4? A. To display the difficulty of multitasking. B. To illustrate the limitation of focused attention. C. To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life. D. To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports. 11. What will probably be discussed next? A. More valuable lessons taught by history. B. Challenges facing the young generation. C. The impact of technology on literacy skills. D. Strategies for book reading in the digital age. D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities. There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated (培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients. The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.” 12. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph? A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements. C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine. 13. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4? A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots. B. The seriousness of the environmental issues. C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab. D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones. 14. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots? A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B. Arranging the electrode in the right order. C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia. D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature C. King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development 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。 It was a winter morning when I received a package with no return address.

I lifted the lid. A faint scent of cedar (雪松) filled the air. ____17____ It was my grandmother’s brooch (胸针) — the one she always wore to Sunday dinners, with a single pearl suspended like a dewdrop.

Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours. Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert. Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar?” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway? What if he goes hungry?” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction. Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family. David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When David shared Robert’s story online, it quickly gained attention. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
