In the historic Dashilar business street area, Chang Tao’s Qinfenghanyue Craft Shop is one of the many places where this craft is still a lifestyle. Chang is a master of this art. Chang — painter, poet and umbrella maker — was born in 1978 in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. He established a small studio in Guangxi, combining modern techniques with a love for the art of umbrella making. Artists in Guangxi and Beijing now work under his guidance, following his 86 steps to make a single umbrella. A process sometimes takes 20 days. Chinese legend has it that, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the wife of the famous carpenter Lu Ban made the first umbrella to protect him from the elements while he worked. Umbrellas are also used in some traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies. A red umbrella in a wedding is a symbol of protection against the obstacles that the new couple will face. In China, the umbrella was initially used during important ceremonies as a symbol of elegance, admiration and power.

Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
24. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
25. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
26. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
27. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
【答案】24 A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】

C
As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers.
“We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.
It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says.
28. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess?
A. Ignoring the potential of AI.
B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority.
C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose.
D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency.
29. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Abandoning. B. Stressing.
C. Admitting. D. Assessing.
30. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design?
A. Enhancing algorithm complexity.
B. Reducing human dependence on AI.
C. Considering human-AI interaction.
D. Improving AI’s independent capability.
31. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show?
A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful.
B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate.
C. No algorithmic support was completely the best.
D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了如何将人工智能(AI)有效地融入我们的生活和工作。斯坦福大学商学院的副教授Jann Spiess认为当前关于AI的讨论过于关注AI是否优于人类,而应关注AI与人类的互补性。他提出了互补性设计框架,并通过实验证明互补性算法在招聘决策中效果最佳,展示了AI在资源有限环境中的应用潜力。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’(“我们对人工智能及其能力的讨论真的是错位的,因为讨论的都是‘人工智能是否比人类更好’”,他继续说道。“我认为我们应该问的是,‘人工智能有哪些互补性的用途?’”)”可知,Spiess认为当前关于AI的辩论主要问题在于过于强调AI的优越性,而没有关注其互补性用途。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide(如果用户过于依赖算法,他们可能会忽略算法可能不知道的相关背景或信息。另一方面,如果用户认为建议过于复杂或不相关,他们可能会完全忽略这些建议,forgoing算法建议可能提供的任何优势)”可知,前后句是对比关系,前半句说用户过于依赖算法会忽略相关信息,后半句说用户认为建议复杂或不相关就会完全忽略这些建议,也就是不再考虑算法建议可能带来的优势,所以“forgoing”意思是“放弃”,与A项“Abandoning”意思一致。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations—and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity(“因此,最佳的算法应当考虑到人类将如何与其所提供的信息进行交互,”施皮斯说道。在最近的一篇论文中,施皮斯概述了一个概念性的设计框架模型,用于模拟人类对算法推荐的响应方式——并提出了一种构建人工智能工具的不同方法。这种方法被称为“互补性”)”可知,Spiess认为有效的人工智能设计的关键在于考虑人类与人工智能的交互。故选C项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support(使用互补性算法的人——在人类可能不确定或错误的情况下提供选择性建议——做出了最准确的决策,优于使用纯粹预测性算法的人和不使用算法支持的人)”可知,关于招聘决策的实验表明,互补性算法非常有效。故选D项。
D
In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
32. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes?
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D. By ensuring agricultural outputs.
33. What can be known about residential areas?
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
34. What is the significance of the study?
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了一项由斯坦福大学领导的研究,该研究发现即使在哥斯达黎加,小面积的树木覆盖也能减少传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在。研究结果可以为农村地区的土地利用决策和树木保护策略提供信息。文章还阐述了树木覆盖如何防止入侵蚊子,住宅区蚊子物种的情况,以及这项研究的重要意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources(研究人员发现,在树木覆盖较多的地区,作为登革热媒介的亚洲虎蚊的数量减少,而蚊子物种的总数增加。更多的物种需要更多的空间和资源,这使得入侵物种更难找到未被占用的空间或资源)”可知,增加的树木覆盖通过增加物种竞争来阻止入侵蚊子,因为更多的物种会争夺空间和资源,让入侵物种更难生存。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species(相比之下,住宅区的蚊子物种要少得多,而且更有可能存在入侵性的、传播疾病的物种)”可知,住宅区的蚊子物种多样性较低。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread(研究表明,保护树木有助于保护生物多样性,同时也能降低疾病传播的可能性)”以及第五段中“This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease(这项工作表明,森林和树木覆盖可以降低风险,但确定其他维持媒介种群的土地利用类型是控制这种迅速扩散的疾病的下一个前沿领域)”可知,这项研究既保护了生物多样性,又降低了疾病传播的风险,可推理出这项研究提供了一个潜在的共赢策略,故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段中“In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University - led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology(根据斯坦福大学领导的一项研究,5月28日发表在《景观生态学》杂志上,在哥斯达黎加,即使是小面积的树木覆盖也能减少已知会传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在)”可知,文章主要围绕树木覆盖对入侵蚊子的限制作用展开,所以D项“Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes(树木覆盖限制入侵蚊子)”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【38题详解】
根据前文““The key to maintaining these dinners is to ritualize (仪式化) it.” writes Nosrat, who thinks the gatherings are less about the menu and more about eating and cooking together.(诺斯拉特写道:“维持这些晚餐的关键是将其仪式化。”她认为聚会的重点不在于菜单,而在于一起吃饭和做饭)”以及后文“In other words, we have to avoid the guesswork of when and where your dinner will happen for the group. Choose the same day, time and location—and keep it. So everyone is familiar with the kitchen, the space and the pantry.(换句话说,我们必须避免猜测你的晚餐将在何时何地举行。选择相同的日期、时间和地点,并坚持下去。所以每个人都熟悉厨房、空间和食品室)”可知,此处在讲述如何将晚餐仪式化,所以B项“First of all, we have to create familiarity(首先,我们必须创造熟悉感)”承接上文,后文是对本句的详细解释。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“There are a few kids in Nosrat’s dinner group, and she loves to get them in the kitchen. “Think about any step in the meal preparation that the kids can do themselves.” she suggests in the book.(Nosrat的晚餐小组里有几个孩子,她喜欢让他们进厨房。她在书中建议:“考虑一下孩子们可以自己做的任何准备饭菜的步骤。”)”可知,本段讲述晚餐中的孩子们,所以C项“But cooking with kids can quickly get messy(但是和孩子们一起做饭很快就会变得一团糟)”符合本段主题,并引出下文“So whatever it is, keep it simple. Otherwise, they will soon mess it up.(所以不管是什么,保持简单。否则,他们很快就会把事情搞砸)”。故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“She also offers various simple ways to make the occasion special(她还提供了各种简单的方法让这个场合变得特别)”以及冒号可知,后文应是具体举例,所以G项“Send the kids out to pick flowers for the table or hold a brief ceremony before the meal(让孩子们出去采些花来装饰餐桌,或者在饭前举行一个简短的仪式)”符合文意。故选G项。

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 begged my mother to let me go camping. For months, I’d talked non-stop about the forest adventures and watching stars at night shown in the camp brochure. “It’s a chance to be on my own. And I will learn something,” I’d say. Finally, my mother agreed, and I spent weeks packing something necessary — sure this would be the best summer ever.
The first day at Camp Redwood was amazing. As soon as I stepped off the bus, the fresh pine smell and the sound of birds singing made me feel alive. I met Sarah, my camp roommate, and we quickly became friends. That evening, we roasted some food over the campfire and then gathered in the tent to tell stories, each of which made us jump and laugh.
Over the following days, the camp leader, Mr. Carter, patiently taught us to identify different bird calls by their sounds and deal with accidents. We also learned to make some special and beautiful items with what could be found in nature. I secretly made a hat with some leaves for my mother.
Everything was perfect — until the last night.
A thunderstorm hit suddenly. Rain beat down on the tent and wind howled like a pack of wolves. Sarah and I stuck together, scared. Our tent started leaking, and our sleeping bags became completely wet. “I want to go home, now!” Sarah cried. Thinking of what I had said to my mother, I grabbed the extra plastic sheet from my backpack and shouted, “Let’s fix this!”
We struggled in the dark, our hands shaking from the cold and fear as we tried to tie the plastic sheet over the tent. The wind pushed against us, making it hard to hold the slippery fabric. Just as we tied the last knot (结), Mr. Carter arrived with a flashlight. His eyes opened wide when he saw the fixed tent. “You two did that?” he asked, surprised. We nodded proudly. Mr. Carter offered to take a photo of Sarah and me achieving something amazing. At that moment, I felt eager to go home to share something with my mother.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, when I got home, my mother saw my muddy shoes and asked, “How was it?”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mother had a good look at the photo and the gift and said, “You’re absolutely right!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next day, when I got home, my mother saw my muddy shoes and asked, “How was it?” Sensing her voice trembling slightly as she knelt to brush dirt off my shoes, I shared the highlights of my camping trip, especially what happened the night before. Then I carefully pulled out a photo from my pocket — Sarah and I smiled widely through rain-soaked hair, plastic sheet strings twisted around our fingers as we tied the knot — and said, “I learned something.” Digging into the depths of my bag, I gently placed the hat into my mother’s hand and said, “This is for you.”
My mother had a good look at the photo and the gift and said, “You’re absolutely right!” I saw pride in her eyes and added excitedly, “I learned that being on my own isn’t about doing everything alone. It’s about facing challenges with courage and cleverness — and sometimes with a friend.” My mother’s eyes softened as she put on the hat carefully. “I’m so proud of you,” she whispered, pulling me into a warm hug. At that moment, I knew this was truly the best summer ever — not despite the storm, but because of it.

Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
24. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
25. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
26. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
27. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.

As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers.
“We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.
It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says.
28. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess?
A. Ignoring the potential of AI.
B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority.
C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose.
D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency.
29. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Abandoning. B. Stressing.
C. Admitting. D. Assessing.
30. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design?
A. Enhancing algorithm complexity.
B. Reducing human dependence on AI.
C. Considering human-AI interaction.
D. Improving AI’s independent capability.
31. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show?
A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful.
B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate.
C. No algorithmic support was completely the best.
D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective.
D
In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
32. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes?
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D. By ensuring agricultural outputs.
33. What can be known about residential areas?
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
34. What is the significance of the study?
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes

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 begged my mother to let me go camping. For months, I’d talked non-stop about the forest adventures and watching stars at night shown in the camp brochure. “It’s a chance to be on my own. And I will learn something,” I’d say. Finally, my mother agreed, and I spent weeks packing something necessary — sure this would be the best summer ever.
The first day at Camp Redwood was amazing. As soon as I stepped off the bus, the fresh pine smell and the sound of birds singing made me feel alive. I met Sarah, my camp roommate, and we quickly became friends. That evening, we roasted some food over the campfire and then gathered in the tent to tell stories, each of which made us jump and laugh.
Over the following days the camp leader, Mr. Carter, patiently taught us to identify different bird calls by their sounds and deal with accidents. We also learned to make some special and beautiful items with what could be found in nature. I secretly made a hat with some leaves for my mother.
Everything was perfect — until the last night.
A thunderstorm hit suddenly. Rain beat down on the tent and wind howled like a pack of wolves. Sarah and I stuck together, scared. Our tent started leaking, and our sleeping bags became completely wet. “I want to go home, now!” Sarah cried. Thinking of what I had said to my mother, I grabbed the extra plastic sheet from my backpack and shouted, “Let’s fix this!”
We struggled in the dark, our hands shaking from the cold and fear as we tried to tie the plastic sheet over the tent. The wind pushed against us, making it hard to hold the slippery fabric. Just as we tied the last knot (结), Mr. Carter arrived with a flashlight. His eyes opened wide when he saw the fixed tent. “You two did that?” he asked, surprised. We nodded proudly. Mr. Carter offered to take a photo of Sarah and me achieving something amazing. At that moment, I felt eager to go home to share something with my mother.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, when I got home, my mother saw my muddy shoes and asked, “How was it?”

My mother had a good look at the photo and the gift and said, “You’re absolutely right!”
