阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
At the end of 2024 a survey found that one of Americans’ top resolutions for the coming year was to read more. By this point, however, most will have given up on that aspiration, along with their dreams of perfectly toned muscles or a completed list of DIY projects. But all is not lost as the end of the year draws closer. We have rounded up four favourite novels published recently. Among our choices are a number of slim volumes: perfect for any determinedly bookish folk who still have an end-of-year reading target to hit.
Drayton and Mackenzie. By Alexander Starritt.
Two very different men meet as young adults. Both seek success, first as management consultants, then as entrepreneurs (企业家) in the field of green energy. As they navigate private pain and the unrest of the global financial crash, they increasingly value their friendship. Both characters are expertly drawn in this funny, touching story.
Flashlight. By Susan Choi.
One night, while on holiday in Japan, ten-year-old Louisa and her father go for a walk along a beach. The next day she is found half-dead and her parent has disappeared. At home in America, Louisa and her mother attempt to make sense of the mystery that rocked their lives. A story full of twists and turns.
Sympathy Tower Tokyo. By Qudan Rie. Translated by Jesse Kirkwood.
The winner of Japan's prestigious Akutagawa Prize, this novel is set in an imagined future and revolves around Sara, an architect tasked with designing a skyscraper in which convicted criminals can live in comfort. A bold interrogation of crime, punishment and redemption.
What We Can Know. By Ian McEwan.
A celebrated poet reads his latest work, dedicated to his wife, at her birthday party. Then the poem goes missing. Later an academic search through archives is launched to track down the lost poem. His discovery yields an account of passion, murder and guilt. Ian McEwan combines a love story and a thrilling mystery to great effect.
21. Which is one of Americans’ top resolutions in 2025 according to the survey?
A. Reading more volumes. B. Designing DIY items.
C. Reading books as slim as possible. D. Spending less time working out.
22. What is recommended if you like reading something amusing?
A. Flashlight. B. Drayton and Mackenzie.
C. Sympathy Tower Tokyo. D. What We Can Know.

D. Both are set in an imaginary future world.
B
Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!
That may well be Angela Peters’ motto. In July 2019, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of decorating her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon, which is not owned by Walmart, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier, Ebony Harris, watched the interaction from a few feet away. Recognizing Peters as a Walmart regular, Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah”! They then made their way into a neighboring Subway, and found a table for two. Harris gently took Peters’ hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. Peters moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry. Harris told her, “Don’t say that. You’re fine.”
Watching it all with awe and admiration was a Subway employee, Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the sympathy and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “Harris was so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thank you for making this beautiful girl’s day!” “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody. She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she?” Harris said.
24. Why was Angela Peters turned away by the nail salon?
A. Her hands couldn’t remain still. B. The salon was closed.
C. She didn't have enough money. D. She was not a Walmart regular.
25. Where did Ebony Harris paint Angela Peters’ nails?
A. In Walmart. B. At Harris’ home.
C. In the nail salon. D. In a neighboring Subway.
26. What can we infer from Tasia Smith's action of writing about the scene on Facebook?
A. She intended to show off Harris’ skill.
B. She wanted to criticize the nail salon.
C. She meant to attract more customers for Subway.
D. She was moved by Harris’ virtue and wanted to share it.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A Walmart cashier had a good break time.
B. Kindness makes a disabled woman’s day beautiful.
C. A nail salon refused a customer with cerebral palsy.
D. People with cerebral palsy should be treated equally.
C
Brave youngsters have long ventured abroad in search of enlightenment and excitement. In 1608 Thomas Coryat, an Englishman sometimes called “the world’s first backpacker” embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe. Friendless and on foot, Coryat discovered foreign delicacies (“frogs used for food”) and new technologies (“forks used in feeding”).
In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024.
Why are so many people going it alone? Solo travel today is less about finding remote places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend “me-mooning” ( as opposed to “honeymooning”). Travel bloggers prove that on white-sand beaches in Bali you can “become a truer version of yourself”. Those not searching for themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of “Treasure Island”, put it.
Research has shown that self-imposed solitude can boost creativity and well- being. And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people“more open” to wandering with strangers.
Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do and have the flexibility to head off on travelling when they please. Women, in particular, are embracing that mantra: by one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago etiquette (礼仪) books warned women not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied (though safety tips are readily available online). Much as Coryat did 400 years ago, women today have the means, and the time, to follow their feet.
28. What can we learn about Thomas Coryat from the passage?
A. He was the first person to travel abroad in history.
B. He traveled around Europe on foot without friends.
C. He wrote etiquette books to guide women’s travel.
D. He invented the “forks used in feeding” during his trip.
29. Why do people prefer solo travel according to Paragraph 3?
A. To hang out with friends.
B. To appreciate the scenery of the beaches.
C. To find remote places around the world.
D. To have a new understanding of oneself.
30. What does the underlined word “mantra” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A repeated saying. B. A fixed rule.
C. A pressing problem. D. A long-lived custom.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage women to travel alone.
B. To introduce the history of solo travel.
C. To explain the popularity of solo travel.
D. To show the divides between travel groups.
D
Beneath the forest floor, a hidden network rivals the complexity of the internet — yet it is made not of cables and code, but of fungi. Known as mycorrhizal (菌根的) networks, these thread-like structures weave through soil, connecting the roots of trees and plants in a silent, underground communication system. For decades, scientists dismissed fungi as mere decomposers, but recent research is revealing their role as “forest intermediaries,” reshaping our understanding of ecosystem survival.
Dr. Suzanne Simard, a forest ecologist at the University of British Columbia, first documented this phenomenon in the 1990s. Her experiments with Douglas fir and paper birch trees showed that carbon, nutrients, and even chemical signals could flow between species via fungal threads. In one study, she labeled carbon molecules (分子) in birch leaves with a harmless isotope (同位素); within weeks, the same isotope appeared in nearby fir trees — proof of a nutrient-sharing system. “It’s like a trading post,” Dr. Simard explains. “Trees that have excess resources, like sun-loving birches in summer, send nutrients to shaded firs. In return, firs share stored sugars in winter when birches are not active.”
This mutual support is not limited to nutrient exchange. Mycorrhizal networks also act as early warning systems. When a tree is attacked by insects or viruses, it releases chemical signals into the network. Neighboring trees receive these signals and trigger their own defenses — such as producing toxic compounds to repel pests — even before the threat reaches them. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution found that pine trees connected to infected pines via fungi had 40% higher survival rates than isolated trees.
Yet the network's future is uncertain. Climate change, deforestation, and the overuse of fungiicides are disrupting these fragile systems. Dr. Simard warns that losing these networks could have a chain of effects. As research continues, scientists hope to develop strategies to protect mycorrhizal networks, from reducing fungicide use to planting diverse tree species that support a wider range of fungi. For now, the hidden world beneath our feet remains a reminder that nature's most powerful systems are often the ones we cannot see.
32. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. Fungi were regarded as insignificant by scientists.
B. Mycorrhizal networks are interconnected by threads.
C. The internet is more complicated than mycorrhizal networks.
D The internet has everything in common with mycorrhizal networks.
33. What does Dr. Simard’s experiment with isotope-labeled carbon prove?
A. Isotopes are harmless to forest ecosystems.
B. Birch trees grow faster than Douglas firs in summer.
C. Shaded trees produce more sugars than sun-loving trees.
D. Fungi can transfer nutrients between different tree species.
34. Why are mycorrhizal networks called “early warning systems” in Paragraph 3?
A. They help trees locate nutrients.
B. They alert scientists to soil pollution.
C. They warn trees of upcoming changes in climate.
D. They allow trees to share defense signals against threats.
35. What's the best title of the passage?
A. How Fungi Connect Forests
B. The Strategies of Protecting Fungi
C. How Nutrition is Absorbed Underground
D. The Hidden World of Underground Networks

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to believe courage was a distant light — something others carried, not me. My world was one of quiet corners. The weight of others’ eyes felt like a physical force, pressing down on my shoulders until I could barely breathe. This fear became quite obvious every year during the English Speech Contest. While my classmates leaned forward, pens hovering over the sign-up sheet like eager birds, I’d sink deeper into my seat. The speeches I wrote — pages filled with stories of my grandma’s garden, of the stray cat I fed after school — remained secret treasures, folded neatly between math notes, their words never destined to be heard.
This year, Mr. Reed, my English teacher with a desk cluttered with dog-eared poetry books, discovered my secret. He’d found my notebook left on his desk after class, its pages open to a half-finished speech. Instead of simply patting my shoulder and saying “you can do it” , he did something shocking: he signed my name on the contest list without a word of warning. When I confronted him, voice trembling, he leaned back in his chair and said, “True growth,” his voice low and serious, like he was sharing a secret, “is not a choice, but a necessity. You have something to say that no one else does — something soft, but real.”
The day of the contest arrived with a gray, drizzly sky that matched my mood. My hands were so cold thatI had to rub them together, and my throat felt tight. Then my name was called. As I walked toward the stage,the lights blinding like the sun on snow, a sudden, bizarre movement in the audience caught my eye: Mr. Reed was leaning forward in his seat, his hand raised, urgently signaling to someone at the back of the hall — maybe the tech crew? My focus shattered, like a glass dropped on concrete.
I reached the podium (讲台) and took a deep breath. When I looked out, all I saw were blurry faces, a sea of shadows. My mind went blank. That silence stretched on, heavy enough to crush me, until a single, loud, mocking laugh cut through it, sharp and cruel, from the dark corner near the exit. I stood there, totally frozen, my feet rooted to the floor, my cheeks burning. But as I held the podium tighter, my fingers brushed against something small and folded — rough paper, hidden beneath the edge, just out of sight. It hadn’t been there during the training runs, when I’d practiced alone on this stage, whispering to an empty room.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
With trembling fingers, I unfolded the note.

【原文】M: Did you listen to that science podcast about animal psychology last night?
W: The one debating if animals have real feelings? I found it fascinating.
M: Me too. The host insisted that with proper experiments, we can objectively test their mental experiences.
W: Right. She gave that example with cows. Researchers showed them photos of people who had treated them well or poorly.
M: And the cows remembered They consistently avoided the place associated with the photo of someone who had previously scared them.
W: Exactly. It wasn’t just a quick reaction. They recognized a face and linked it to a past memory, a negative one. It shows their social intelligence is complex — they can tell people apart and remember who treated them badly.
M: It certainly makes you rethink how we treat farm animals.

【原文】W: Sometimes I think people don’t understand why nature conservation is so important. Perhaps it needs to be explained to them in a different way.
M: I agree it is very important but how would you do that?
W: What if we start to view nature as our business partner?
M: That sounds interesting. What’s your logic?
W: Well, think about it. Nature provides us with clean air, water, and resources. It’s like a silent partner in our survival and development.
M: True, but aren’t we taking more from our partner than we give back?
W: That’s exactly my point. We need to shift from taking to investing. Protecting nature is in our best interest. That’s what people need to understand.
M: I see what you mean. We should ensure that our “business partner” does well for the benefit of both sides.
W: Exactly. It’s not just about saving trees and animals; it’s also about securing our own future.
M: That’s a new and unique way to look at it, nature as a business partner. I like that.
W: I’m glad you see the sense of it. Let’s start treating nature with the respect it deserves. After all, we’re all in this business together.

【原文】Good morning, everybody. In today’s session, our focus will be on people’s different opinions on the widespread use of English.
The first opinion is that the spread of English is good for the world. People who believe this argue that English is actually superior to other languages. They say that, for instance, it has the most expressive vocabulary of any of the other languages in the world and is therefore a better language for communicating ideas.
However, there are two major negative opinions about English. The first point is the spread or use of English in non-English speaking countries can be harmful and is actually dangerous. The people who hold this opinion think that the use of English could negatively affect the local language. For example, it could make the local language less pure. The other negative view states that English is not a neutral force, but instead its spread is part of a plan, with very particular political and economic goals. According to this view, people who speak English would have a better chance of influencing or even controlling others, the countries and the economies of the world. They fear that individual countries will actually lose their special and unique qualities.
As we know, opinions vary. For us, we need to think about how to use English in the best interest of our people and our country, which will be covered in the next session.

A
At the end of 2024 a survey found that one of Americans’ top resolutions for the coming year was to read more. By this point, however, most will have given up on that aspiration, along with their dreams of perfectly toned muscles or a completed list of DIY projects. But all is not lost as the end of the year draws closer. We have rounded up four favourite novels published recently. Among our choices are a number of slim volumes: perfect for any determinedly bookish folk who still have an end-of-year reading target to hit.
Drayton and Mackenzie. By Alexander Starritt.
Two very different men meet as young adults. Both seek success, first as management consultants, then as entrepreneurs (企业家) in the field of green energy. As they navigate private pain and the unrest of the global financial crash, they increasingly value their friendship. Both characters are expertly drawn in this funny, touching story.
Flashlight. By Susan Choi.
One night, while on holiday in Japan, ten-year-old Louisa and her father go for a walk along a beach. The next day she is found half-dead and her parent has disappeared. At home in America, Louisa and her mother attempt to make sense of the mystery that rocked their lives. A story full of twists and turns.
Sympathy Tower Tokyo. By Qudan Rie. Translated by Jesse Kirkwood.
The winner of Japan's prestigious Akutagawa Prize, this novel is set in an imagined future and revolves around Sara, an architect tasked with designing a skyscraper in which convicted criminals can live in comfort. A bold interrogation of crime, punishment and redemption.
What We Can Know. By Ian McEwan.
A celebrated poet reads his latest work, dedicated to his wife, at her birthday party. Then the poem goes missing. Later an academic search through archives is launched to track down the lost poem. His discovery yields an account of passion, murder and guilt. Ian McEwan combines a love story and a thrilling mystery to great effect.
21. Which is one of Americans’ top resolutions in 2025 according to the survey?
A. Reading more volumes. B. Designing DIY items.
C. Reading books as slim as possible. D. Spending less time working out.

Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!
That may well be Angela Peters’ motto. In July 2019, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of decorating her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon, which is not owned by Walmart, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier, Ebony Harris, watched the interaction from a few feet away. Recognizing Peters as a Walmart regular, Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah”! They then made their way into a neighboring Subway, and found a table for two. Harris gently took Peters’ hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. Peters moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry. Harris told her, “Don’t say that. You’re fine.”
Watching it all with awe and admiration was a Subway employee, Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the sympathy and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “Harris was so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thank you for making this beautiful girl’s day!” “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody. She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she?” Harris said.
24. Why was Angela Peters turned away by the nail salon?
A. Her hands couldn’t remain still. B. The salon was closed.
C. She didn't have enough money. D. She was not a Walmart regular.
25. Where did Ebony Harris paint Angela Peters’ nails?
A. In Walmart. B. At Harris’ home.
C. In the nail salon. D. In a neighboring Subway.
26. What can we infer from Tasia Smith's action of writing about the scene on Facebook?
A. She intended to show off Harris’ skill.
B. She wanted to criticize the nail salon.
C. She meant to attract more customers for Subway.
D. She was moved by Harris’ virtue and wanted to share it.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A Walmart cashier had a good break time.
B. Kindness makes a disabled woman’s day beautiful.
C. A nail salon refused a customer with cerebral palsy.
D. People with cerebral palsy should be treated equally.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“ But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon, which is not owned by Walmart, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. (但是患有脑瘫的彼得斯被拒绝了。这家并非沃尔玛旗下的沙龙告诉她,由于她的手在颤抖,他们担心无法妥善地给她涂指甲。)”可知,彼得斯被拒绝是因为她的手无法保持稳定。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They then made their way into a neighboring Subway, and found a table for two. Harris gently took Peters' hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. (然后她们走进附近的赛百味餐厅,找了一张两人桌。哈里斯温柔地握住彼得斯的手,小心翼翼地开始给她涂指甲。)”可知,哈里斯在附近的赛百味餐厅给彼得斯涂指甲。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“What struck her most was the sympathy and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. (最让她印象深刻的是哈里斯给彼得斯涂指甲时表现出的同情和温柔,两人一直聊天,就像老朋友一样。史密斯被这一幕深深打动,于是在脸书上写下了这件事。)”可知,史密斯在脸书上分享该场景是因为被哈里斯的善举打动并想传播这份善意。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第四段““Harris was so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thank you for making this beautiful girl’s day!”(她写道:“哈里斯对她非常有耐心。感谢你让这个美丽的女孩度过了愉快的一天!”)”可知,文章核心是哈里斯的善意让被拒绝的残疾女性彼得斯度过了美好的一天。故选B。

Brave youngsters have long ventured abroad in search of enlightenment and excitement. In 1608 Thomas Coryat, an Englishman sometimes called “the world’s first backpacker” embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe. Friendless and on foot, Coryat discovered foreign delicacies (“frogs used for food”) and new technologies (“forks used in feeding”).
In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024.
Why are so many people going it alone? Solo travel today is less about finding remote places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend “me-mooning” ( as opposed to “honeymooning”). Travel bloggers prove that on white-sand beaches in Bali you can “become a truer version of yourself”. Those not searching for themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of “Treasure Island”, put it.
Research has shown that self-imposed solitude can boost creativity and well- being. And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people“more open” to wandering with strangers.
Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do and have the flexibility to head off on travelling when they please. Women, in particular, are embracing that mantra: by one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago etiquette (礼仪) books warned women not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied (though safety tips are readily available online). Much as Coryat did 400 years ago, women today have the means, and the time, to follow their feet.
28. What can we learn about Thomas Coryat from the passage?
A. He was the first person to travel abroad in history.
B. He traveled around Europe on foot without friends.
C. He wrote etiquette books to guide women’s travel.
D. He invented the “forks used in feeding” during his trip.
29. Why do people prefer solo travel according to Paragraph 3?
A. To hang out with friends.
B. To appreciate the scenery of the beaches.
C. To find remote places around the world.
D. To have a new understanding of oneself.
30. What does the underlined word “mantra” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A repeated saying. B. A fixed rule.
C. A pressing problem. D. A long-lived custom.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage women to travel alone.
B. To introduce the history of solo travel.
C. To explain the popularity of solo travel.
D. To show the divides between travel groups.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以托马斯・科里亚特的独自旅行开篇,随后阐释了如今独自旅行受欢迎的原因。
【28题详解】
细节推理题。根据第一段“Friendless and on foot, Coryat discovered foreign delicacies (“ frogs used for food”) and new technologies (“forks used in feeding”).(科里亚特孤身一人,徒步旅行,他发现了外国美食(“用来当食物的青蛙”)和新技术(“用来喂食的叉子”)。)”可知,科里亚特独自徒步环游欧洲。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节推理题。根据第三段“Travel bloggers prove that on white-sand beaches in Bali you can “become a truer version of yourself”. (旅游博客证明,在巴厘岛的白色沙滩上,你可以“成为更真实的自己”。)”可知,独自旅行能发现更好的自己。故选D。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Women, in particular, are embracing that mantra: by one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female.(尤其是女性,正在接受这一……:据估计,84%的独自旅行者是女性。)”以及语境可知,这里指女性尤其接受“独自旅行” 这种说法,mantra意思是“经常重复的口号,真言”。故选A。
31题详解】
推理判断题。文章开头通过托马斯・科里亚特的例子引出独自旅行,接着阐述如今独自旅行的人增多,分析了人们喜欢独自旅行的原因,如寻找自我、追求冒险等,所以文章主要目的是解释独自旅行受欢迎的原因。故选C。
D
Beneath the forest floor, a hidden network rivals the complexity of the internet — yet it is made not of cables and code, but of fungi. Known as mycorrhizal (菌根的) networks, these thread-like structures weave through soil, connecting the roots of trees and plants in a silent, underground communication system. For decades, scientists dismissed fungi as mere decomposers, but recent research is revealing their role as “forest intermediaries,” reshaping our understanding of ecosystem survival.
Dr. Suzanne Simard, a forest ecologist at the University of British Columbia, first documented this phenomenon in the 1990s. Her experiments with Douglas fir and paper birch trees showed that carbon, nutrients, and even chemical signals could flow between species via fungal threads. In one study, she labeled carbon molecules (分子) in birch leaves with a harmless isotope (同位素); within weeks, the same isotope appeared in nearby fir trees — proof of a nutrient-sharing system. “It’s like a trading post,” Dr. Simard explains. “Trees that have excess resources, like sun-loving birches in summer, send nutrients to shaded firs. In return, firs share stored sugars in winter when birches are not active.”
This mutual support is not limited to nutrient exchange. Mycorrhizal networks also act as early warning systems. When a tree is attacked by insects or viruses, it releases chemical signals into the network. Neighboring trees receive these signals and trigger their own defenses — such as producing toxic compounds to repel pests — even before the threat reaches them. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution found that pine trees connected to infected pines via fungi had 40% higher survival rates than isolated trees.
Yet the network's future is uncertain. Climate change, deforestation, and the overuse of fungiicides are disrupting these fragile systems. Dr. Simard warns that losing these networks could have a chain of effects. As research continues, scientists hope to develop strategies to protect mycorrhizal networks, from reducing fungicide use to planting diverse tree species that support a wider range of fungi. For now, the hidden world beneath our feet remains a reminder that nature's most powerful systems are often the ones we cannot see.
32. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. Fungi were regarded as insignificant by scientists.
B. Mycorrhizal networks are interconnected by threads.
C. The internet is more complicated than mycorrhizal networks.
D. The internet has everything in common with mycorrhizal networks.
33. What does Dr. Simard’s experiment with isotope-labeled carbon prove?
A. Isotopes are harmless to forest ecosystems.
B. Birch trees grow faster than Douglas firs in summer.
C. Shaded trees produce more sugars than sun-loving trees.
D. Fungi can transfer nutrients between different tree species.
34. Why are mycorrhizal networks called “early warning systems” in Paragraph 3?
A. They help trees locate nutrients.
B. They alert scientists to soil pollution.
C. They warn trees of upcoming changes in climate.
D. They allow trees to share defense signals against threats.
35. What's the best title of the passage?
A. How Fungi Connect Forests
B. The Strategies of Protecting Fungi
C. How Nutrition is Absorbed Underground
D. The Hidden World of Underground Networks
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,介绍了森林地表下由真菌构成的菌根网络——一个复杂度堪比互联网的地下通信系统。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For decades, scientists dismissed fungi as mere decomposers, but recent research is revealing their role as “forest intermediaries,” reshaping our understanding of ecosystem survival.(几十年来,科学家们一直认为真菌只是分解者,但最近的研究揭示了它们作为“森林中介”的角色,重塑了我们对生态系统生存的理解。)”可知,过去科学家认为真菌只是分解者,并未认识到其构建网络的重要作用,即认为真菌无关紧要。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Her experiments with Douglas fir and paper birch trees showed that carbon, nutrients, and even chemical signals could flow between species via fungal threads. In one study, she labeled carbon molecules in birch leaves with a harmless isotope; within weeks, the same isotope appeared in nearby fir trees — proof of a nutrient-sharing system(她对花旗松和纸桦树的实验表明,碳、养分甚至化学信号都可以通过真菌丝在不同物种间流动。在一项研究中,她用无害同位素标记桦树叶中的碳分子;几周内,相同的同位素出现在附近的花旗松中——这是养分共享系统的证据)”可知,Simard博士的同位素标记实验证明了真菌能够在不同树种间传递养分。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When a tree is attacked by insects or viruses, it releases chemical signals into the network. Neighboring trees receive these signals and trigger their own defenses — such as producing toxic compounds to repel pests — even before the threat reaches them(当一棵树受到昆虫或病毒攻击时,它会向网络中释放化学信号。邻近的树木收到这些信号后,甚至在威胁到来之前就会启动自身防御——例如产生有毒化合物来抵御害虫)”可知,菌根网络被称为“预警系统”是因为它能让树木共享抵御威胁的防御信号。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇引入菌根网络这一核心概念,随后通过科学家的研究阐述其在树种间养分传递、预警防御等方面的连接作用,最后提及网络面临的威胁及保护方向,核心围绕“真菌如何连接森林”展开。选项A“真菌如何连接森林”精准概括了文章核心内容,适合作为标题。故选A。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to believe courage was a distant light — something others carried, not me. My world was one of quiet corners. The weight of others’ eyes felt like a physical force, pressing down on my shoulders until I could barely breathe. This fear became quite obvious every year during the English Speech Contest. While my classmates leaned forward, pens hovering over the sign-up sheet like eager birds, I’d sink deeper into my seat. The speeches I wrote — pages filled with stories of my grandma’s garden, of the stray cat I fed after school — remained secret treasures, folded neatly between math notes, their words never destined to be heard.
This year, Mr. Reed, my English teacher with a desk cluttered with dog-eared poetry books, discovered my secret. He’d found my notebook left on his desk after class, its pages open to a half-finished speech. Instead of simply patting my shoulder and saying “you can do it” , he did something shocking: he signed my name on the contest list without a word of warning. When I confronted him, voice trembling, he leaned back in his chair and said, “True growth,” his voice low and serious, like he was sharing a secret, “is not a choice, but a necessity. You have something to say that no one else does — something soft, but real.”
The day of the contest arrived with a gray, drizzly sky that matched my mood. My hands were so cold thatI had to rub them together, and my throat felt tight. Then my name was called. As I walked toward the stage,the lights blinding like the sun on snow, a sudden, bizarre movement in the audience caught my eye: Mr. Reed was leaning forward in his seat, his hand raised, urgently signaling to someone at the back of the hall — maybe the tech crew? My focus shattered, like a glass dropped on concrete.
I reached the podium (讲台) and took a deep breath. When I looked out, all I saw were blurry faces, a sea of shadows. My mind went blank. That silence stretched on, heavy enough to crush me, until a single, loud, mocking laugh cut through it, sharp and cruel, from the dark corner near the exit. I stood there, totally frozen, my feet rooted to the floor, my cheeks burning. But as I held the podium tighter, my fingers brushed against something small and folded — rough paper, hidden beneath the edge, just out of sight. It hadn’t been there during the training runs, when I’d practiced alone on this stage, whispering to an empty room.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】参考范文
With trembling fingers, I unfolded the note. The familiar handwriting of Mr. Reed met my eyes, the words simple yet powerful: “Your voice matters.” Memories flooded in — his patience during after-school rehearsals, the way he’d stayed up late helping me refine each sentence. Suddenly, the mocking laugh faded into the background. Taking a deep, steadying breath, I began to speak. The words flowed from my lips, not as a memorized script but as a heartfelt expression. The hall seemed to shrink, and all I could see were Mr. Reed's encouraging nods. As I reached the final line, thunderous applause erupted, drowning out any lingering doubts. With my last word voiced out emotionally and passionately, I ended my speech.
Finally, the host walked onto the stage with a card in his hand. My heart pounded as he cleared his throat and announced, “The first prize goes to…” The name hung in the air for a torturous second before he spoke mine. I stood, stunned, as the audience rose to their feet. Glancing at Mr. Reed, I saw tears glistening in his eyes. In that moment, I understood courage wasn’t about the absence of fear. It was about finding strength in unexpected places—like a folded note from a teacher who believed in me. From that day on, I no longer hid my words; instead, I let my voice echo, a testament to the power of trust and self-discovery.

In today's session, our focus will be on people's different opinions on the widespread use of english. The first opinion is that the spread of english is good for the world. People who believe this argue that english is actually superior to other languages. They say that, for instance, IT has the most expressive vocabulary of any of the other languages in the world and is therefore a Better language for communicating ideas. However, there are two major negative opinions about english. The first point is the spread or use of english in non english speaking countries can be harmful and is actually dangerous. The people who hold this opinion think that the use of english could negatively affect the local language. For example, he could make the local language less pure. The other negative view states that english is not a natural force, but instead, IT spread is part of a plan with very particular political and economic goals.
