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 My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 4. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 5. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 6. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者一家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，通过参与栖息地修复、森林恢复等相关志愿活动，既为当地环境和社区作出贡献，也让自身旅行更具意义，还介绍了不同岛屿的mālama实践及当地人对该理念的解读。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(在这里，我们了解到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，该理念鼓励游客通过栖息地修复、海滩清理或物资供给等活动，回馈环境和当地社区。但mālama不止于生态旅游——它意味着让一个地方比你发现它时更好。)”可知，作者在第一段围绕mālama理念，先介绍其定义，再说明其内涵，是通过解释概念来呈现主题的。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay.(在夏威夷群岛，随处可见mālama志愿者体验活动。例如在毛伊岛，您可以参与修复原生森林，或在植物苗圃担任志愿者；而在瓦胡岛，游客可以清理马努努阿湾的入侵藻类。)”可知，mālama志愿者能参与恢复当地森林的活动。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations.(我们见到了格雷格・索拉塔里奥，他的家族世世代代都在照料这片土地。)”可知，格雷格的家族长期保护这片土地。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(我们全家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到了古老的“mālama(关爱)”理念。这个概念倡导游客通过修复生态栖息地、清洁海滩、捐赠食物等方式回馈当地环境与社区。但mālama的内涵远不止于生态旅游——其核心在于让每个到访之地因你的到来而变得更加美好)”可知，文章核心是作者一家践行mālama理念，通过志愿活动让夏威夷(他们所喜爱的旅行地)变得更好，同时自身旅行也更有意义，体现“改善所喜爱的事物”的内涵。选项 A“The wise improve what they enjoy(智者会改善他们所喜爱的事物)”符合这一主旨。故选A。 C Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin (催产素), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive contagious fear in fish. In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank. Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly, researchers say, even trying to comfort them. Finally, the researchers dissected (解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy. The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. 8. What does human-fish empathy similarity indicate? A. Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution. B. Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish. C. Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution. D. Fish developed empathy separately after splitting from mammals. 9. What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study? A. It enhances their swimming speed. B. It shapes their response to peers’ fear. C. It helps them detect predators faster. D. It reduces their need for social interaction. 10. How did the researchers reach their conclusion? A. By analyzing data. B. By making comparisons. C. By building models. D. By conducting surveys. 11. The underlined word “sentient” in the last paragraph most likely means ________. A. capable of physical adaptation B. dependent on group survival C. skilled at avoiding predators D. able to perceive and feel emotions 【答案】8 C 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现鱼类可能具有类似人类的共情能力，且这种能力可能与进化有关。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. (在《科学》杂志发表的一项研究中，研究人员称，人类共情的相关机制可能同样在鱼类中起作用。这表明，人类理解和分享他人感受的能力可能比此前认为的进化得早得多 —— 大约在 4.5 亿年前，即鱼类和哺乳动物在进化树上分化之时。)”可知，人类与鱼类在共情能力上的相似性表明鱼类可能拥有源于进化的类似共情的能力。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. (许多转基因动物对同伴的恐惧没有反应，而一组正常的对照鱼则有反应。然后，当研究人员给转基因鱼注射催产素时，它们的行为更像标准的、未转基因的鱼，并模仿了同伴的恐惧行为。)”可知，催产素在斑马鱼中塑造了它们对同伴恐惧的反应。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. (许多转基因动物对同伴的恐惧没有反应，而一组正常的对照鱼则有反应。然后，当研究人员给转基因鱼注射催产素时，它们的行为更像标准的、未转基因的鱼，并模仿了同伴的恐惧行为。)”以及第四段中“In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. (在另一项实验中，斑马鱼似乎更关注之前表现出痛苦的鱼的视频，而不是总是表现出平静的鱼的视频。)”可知，研究人员通过做比较得出结论。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. (这些研究结果表明，鱼类可能和人类及其他物种一样sentient。“它们有能力拥有情感生活，”德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的神经生物学家汉斯・霍夫曼说，他并未参与这项研究。)”可知，研究发现鱼类可能像人类和其他物种一样有感知和感受情绪的能力，故划sentient意思是“能够感知和感受情绪”。故选D。 D For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only. In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.” When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words. Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”. Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.” We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content. 12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries? A. The decline of the print media. B. The convenience of online lookup. C. People’s indifference to accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital. 13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers? A. Their workload will double. B. They will remain in demand. C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need to upgrade their skills. 14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries? A. They boost long-term memory. B. They last longer than digital files. C. They offer an escape from screens. D. They give more authoritative definitions. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries B. My Love for Looking up Words C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象，分析了其原因，探讨了词典编纂者的未来，并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”(美国记者斯蒂芬·法特西斯在其著作《未删节本：现代词典的诱惑与威胁》中，记述了人类对搜索引擎长达十年的依赖所带来的变革：“无论是精良的释义还是粗劣的诠释，皆可一键获取。绝大多数人对此毫不在意，抑或无力辨别——专业研究、抓取数据、僵尸网站，凡是搜索所得皆照单全收。”)”可知，网络搜索的便捷性使人们只需点击一下就能获取定义，从而减少了对纸质词典的依赖。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language.(等我写完这本书时，已无法确定，人们还需要有血有肉的词典编纂者多久，来记录英语语言的发展进程)”可知，作者不确定现实中的词典编纂者还能被需要多久，由此可推知，现实生活中的词典编纂者的生存受到了威胁。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊，也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知，作者坚持使用纸质词典是因为它们提供了从屏幕中解脱出来的机会，是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容的天堂。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(我们无法断言人类仍需要实体词典。正如百科全书与地图册，其中最优秀的早已迁移至线上。事实上，多数搜索引擎的起点正是专家编纂的词典与百科全书。但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊，也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知，文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象，并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视，认为它们是无比珍贵的时光胶囊，是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一，A项“A Word in Favor of Dictionaries(为纸质词典正名)”概括了文章的主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. ____16____ The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. ____17____ This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong? In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. ____18____ Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%. ____19____ Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.” ____20____ A. But is that always the case? B. Patience is needed as the system matures. C. They said the system was not fit for purpose. D. Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen? E. The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally. F. So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation? G. Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕科技在体育领域的应用展开，主要介绍了科技的弊端，讨论科技出错时的责任归属问题。 【16题详解】 上文“The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. (体育领域对科技的运用本应能提供精准且即时的反馈，相比人工干预，决策更优、失误更少。)”提出科技在体育中应更优的观点，而下文介绍了温网AI司线系统故障、以及足球VAR技术的弊端。因此A项“但是情况总是如此吗？”符合语境，引出下文。故选A。 【17题详解】 上文“Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. (然而，在 2025 年锦标赛开赛仅一周后，电子司线系统就出现了故障。)”提及系统故障，由此推测，空出需补充故障的具体原因。E项”球追踪技术被一个人意外关闭了。”承接上文。故选E。 18题详解】 上文“However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. (然而，上个足球赛季，VAR的疏忽激怒了很多教练、球员和球迷。)”指出上个赛季VAR失误引发不满，由此可知，这个系统没有达到预期目的。空处需补充人们对VAR系统的负面评价，以完整呈现VAR的争议性。C项“他们表示该系统不符合使用需求。”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. (剑桥大学的Gina Neff教授表示，人类天生就拥有强烈的公平感。“机器做出决策，依据的是为其编程设定的那套规则，” 她说道。)”陈述了人们不相信科技的原因。由此推测，空处可能提出“人们为什么不相信科技”这个疑问。F项“既然科技往往能改善现状，那我们为什么仍然不信任它呢？”符合推测，引出下文内容。故选F。 【20题详解】 空处位于文末，应是总结性语句。上文“Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine. (目前，在AI触及我们生活的诸多领域，我们认为人类比机器更能理解背景语境。)”提及人类对科技的认知优势，需在结尾给出对科技在体育领域未来的客观判断。G项“无论你是否信任，科技都将持续存在，体育领域也不例外。”符合语境，客观指出科技在体育领域的必然性。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice.

As my mother was feeling a little uncomfortable, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I overslept and as a result, was a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The roads were already jammed with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a determined and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed an accident. It all happened in an instant, as most accidents do. A car took a left turning without signaling and a school bus crashed into it heavily. A few cars behind the school bus hit the bus as they could not stop in time and soon it became a pile-up. The car was damaged badly while the school bus also had some damage. And the already crowded road became more jammed with vehicles, which came to a mess. We wanted to help the victims. My sister drove to a stop at the roadside not too far from the accident spot. The scene that greeted us was terrible. I first rushed to the car. The driver, a lady, lay trapped behind the wheel, unable to move. Three schoolchildren were in the back seat, their faces white with fear. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the head and hands. They were conscious although too weak and frightened to realize what had happened. We called an ambulance and while waiting, we tried as much as possible to help the victims. As a result of our joint efforts, the driver and the children were moved to safety and taken care of. 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。 Then, I rushed to the bus filled with children’s cries. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the ambulance had left, two policemen asked me about the accident. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then I rushed to the school bus filled with children’s cries. Inside were the frightened schoolchildren. Many of them appeared to suffer from minor cuts and bruises on their arms and bodies in the crash. The children were crying and screaming for their parents. It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt. By then a few adults entered the bus and together we instructed the children to come out of the bus slowly. We managed to calm them down. Soon, the doctors in an ambulance came to the scene. After the ambulance had left, two policemen asked me about the accident. They were taking statements from eyewitnesses. My sister and I gave a full account to the police of what had happened. As a matter of fact, it could have been prevented if the drivers had been more careful. Of course I was late for school, but I knew what I should do to avoid that was set off earlier. The accident also taught us an important lesson we should always obey the traffic rules and keep safety in mind. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和姐姐去学校的路上目睹了一起交通事故，一辆小汽车没有打信号就左转了，一辆校车重重地撞上了它。尽可能地帮助受害者，在他们的共同努力下，司机和孩子们被转移到安全的地方并得到照顾。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后我冲到充满了孩子们哭声的校车上。”可知，第一段可描写现场孩子的受伤情况，作者和其他好心人的善举。 ②由第二段首句内容“救护车离开后，两个警察问我事故的情况。”可知，第二段可描写作者他们向警察诉说事故的经过以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：查看校车——查看学生情况——疏散学生——救护车到达——描述事故经过——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①叫喊：scream/yell ②指示：instruct/guide ③知道：know/realize 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened scared ②冷静：calm down/cool down 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt.

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 My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 4. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 5. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 6. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin (催产素), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive contagious fear in fish. In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank. Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly, researchers say, even trying to comfort them. Finally, the researchers dissected (解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy. The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. 8. What does human-fish empathy similarity indicate? A. Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution. B. Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish. C Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution. D Fish developed empathy separately after splitting from mammals. 9. What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study? A. It enhances their swimming speed. B. It shapes their response to peers’ fear. C. It helps them detect predators faster. D. It reduces their need for social interaction. 10. How did the researchers reach their conclusion? A. By analyzing data. B. By making comparisons. C. By building models. D. By conducting surveys. 11. The underlined word “sentient” in the last paragraph most likely means ________. A. capable of physical adaptation B. dependent on group survival C. skilled at avoiding predators D. able to perceive and feel emotions D For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only. In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.” When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words. Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”. Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.” We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content. 12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries? A. The decline of the print media. B. The convenience of online lookup. C. People’s indifference to accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital. 13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers? A. Their workload will double. B. They will remain in demand. C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need to upgrade their skills. 14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries? A. They boost long-term memory. B They last longer than digital files. C. They offer an escape from screens. D. They give more authoritative definitions. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries B. My Love for Looking up Words C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. ____16____ The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. ____17____ This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong? In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. ____18____ Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%. ____19____ Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.” ____20____ A. But is that always the case? B. Patience is needed as the system matures. C. They said the system was not fit for purpose. D. Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen? E. The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally. F. So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation? G. Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice.

As my mother was feeling a little uncomfortable, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I overslept and as a result, was a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The roads were already jammed with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a determined and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed an accident. It all happened in an instant, as most accidents do. A car took a left turning without signaling and a school bus crashed into it heavily. A few cars behind the school bus hit the bus as they could not stop in time and soon it became a pile-up. The car was damaged badly while the school bus also had some damage. And the already crowded road became more jammed with vehicles, which came to a mess. We wanted to help the victims. My sister drove to a stop at the roadside not too far from the accident spot. The scene that greeted us was terrible. I first rushed to the car. The driver, a lady, lay trapped behind the wheel, unable to move. Three schoolchildren were in the back seat, their faces white with fear. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the head and hands. They were conscious although too weak and frightened to realize what had happened. We called an ambulance and while waiting, we tried as much as possible to help the victims. As a result of our joint efforts, the driver and the children were moved to safety and taken care of. 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。 Then, I rushed to the bus filled with children’s cries. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the ambulance had left, two policemen asked me about the accident. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
