But can you imagine two people singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese? Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. It is welcomed by audiences (观众) at home and abroad. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters (章) and hundreds of characters. But the opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin instead of the rise and fall of the Jia family and tried to write a heart-breaking tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director, Timmy Yip, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings (布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her. It isn’t the first time that they have made an opera adapted (改编) from Chinese literature. The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences, spreading Chinese culture to the world. They are happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where their parents were born. 14．What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions? A．It is long and there are many different characters. B．It was written by David Henry Hwang. C．It is a classic Chinese opera known all over the world.

D．Those heroes help people in danger and protect their land in time. 16．What do the creators of the opera think of their job according to the passage? A．Tiring and boring. B．Satisfying and meaningful. C．Difficult and unbelievable. D．Exciting and surprising. 17．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Rise and Fall of the Jia Family B．The Opera of A Dream of Red Mansions C．Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu Sing Foreign Opera D．The Love Story Between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu 【答案】14．A 15．D 16．B 17．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了《红楼梦》被改编为英文歌剧的相关情况，包括歌剧的创作、呈现方式及创作者的理念。 14．细节理解题。根据“The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters.”可知，《红楼梦》篇幅长且有很多不同的人物。故选A。 15．词句猜测题。根据“They are happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where their parents were born.”可知，文中划线land指“国家、故土”，选项D中“protect their land”的land也表示“国土、故土”，与划线词含义一致。故选D。 16．细节理解题。根据“The creators consider it to be a meaningful job…They are happy to have made a contribution”可知，歌剧创作者认为这份工作是令人满意且有意义的。故选B。 17．最佳标题题。根据“Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera.

His parents were both doctors, and their work made him want to do medical research too. But in 1940, there was a war. Huang had to go to different cities for middle school. This made him change his mind—he decided to study science instead. In 1945, Huang went to National Chiao Tung University to learn ship building. After four years’ learning, he became a ship-building engineer. In the late 1950s, China planned to make its own nuclear submarines (核潜艇). Huang was picked to join the research team. Before starting the work, Huang went back to his hometown on New Year’s Day in 1957. After that, he didn’t return home for 30 years, and his family had no idea what he was doing. With his team, they made big breakthroughs (突破) in seven important technologies and designed China’s first nuclear submarine. On December 26, 1970, China sent its first nuclear submarine into the sea. This let China join the small group of countries that have nuclear submarines. All Chinese people felt proud, and Huang was very happy too. He was the only one crying with joy among the people. Huang’s work for China’s nuclear submarines was very important. He and his team helped China make its own nuclear submarines. This was a big milestone (里程碑) in China’s military (军事的) history. His love for work and country encourages everyone who wants to make the world better. 18．When Huang Xuhua was a kid, his dream was to be a ________. A．scientist B．doctor C．soldier D．teacher 19．Which of the following is the right order of the text? ①Huang was chosen to be a member of the nuclear submarine research team. ②Huang went to National Chiao Tung University to study ship building. ③China set off its first nuclear submarine successfully. ④Huang studied in different cities during his middle school years.

Huang was picked to join the research team.”和“On December 26, 1970, China sent its first nuclear submarine into the sea.”可知，他于1945年在国立交通大学学习造船，在20世纪50年代末，他被选为核潜艇研究小组的一员，1970年12月26日，中国第一艘核潜艇下水，所以②在①之前，①在③之前，排除B、C、D。故选A。 20．推理判断题。根据“He was the only one crying with joy among the people.”可知，在众人中，他是唯一一个喜极而泣的人，这表明他非常激动和兴奋。故选B。 21．推理判断题。根据黄旭华的经历，从战时辗转求学，到隐姓埋名三十年攻坚克难，最终实现中国核潜艇从无到有的突破，最生动地体现了“有志者事竟成”的精神。故选B。 D One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate change, autumn is changing. According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.” Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.” If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to slow down this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently. Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow. 22．Which is the effect of climate change on autumn? A．The season length is becoming shorter. B．Leaves are changing their colors and falling later. C．There are more frosts in autumn. D．Pests are no longer active. 23．What does the word “ruin” most likely mean in the passage? A．Cause damage. B．Improve greatly. C．Become more colorful. D．Change completely. 24．What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to? A．The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s lives. B．Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before. C．The autumn changes because of climate change. D．Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions. 25．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To call for actions against climate change. B．To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. C．To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D．To explain the research about leaf phenology. 【答案】22．B 23．A 24．C 25．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了气候变化对秋天的影响（如树叶变色、落叶推迟、霜冻延后等），同时指出限制碳排放可减缓这些变化，呼吁人们保护秋天。 22．细节理解题。根据“the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors”及“Trees are holding onto their leaves longer”可知，气候变化使树叶变色和掉落的时间延后。故选B。 23．词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, because of climate change, autumn is changing.”和第二段“And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season.”可知，气候变化正在“破坏”秋天。结合上下文，ruin表示“造成损害”。故选A。 24．词句猜测题。根据前文“because of climate change, autumn is changing”及相关影响的描述可知，“this development”指代的是“气候变化带来的秋天的变化”。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。根据“if humans limited the carbon emissions... stop the worst effects”及“The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory” 可知，文章目的是呼吁人们采取行动应对气候变化，保护秋天。故选A。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，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。 There are some things that we don’t often think about, like walking, because there really is no need to. There are other things we don’t often think about, like learning, but we should. 26 However, many of us have no real idea what the best way to learn is. So a group of scientists in the USA interviewed some excellent students to find some answers. 27 Almost all students re-read when they are trying to learn new information. But if you read something again right after you finish learning it, there is almost no use. 28 Self-testing is one of the best ways of remembering new things. 29 You can just answer questions and see the answers at the back of a book, or you can ask and answer questions with a friend. Many students underline (标记) things when they are reading something for the first time or when they don’t really know if it is important or not. But this doesn’t help much with learning. 30 It is much better to try and learn less at one time and study it a few days later. A．Here are their findings. B．Some people already know the best way to learn. C．The answers are very helpful to improve your reading. D．It’s also not a good way to spend hours learning without stopping. E．The way works best if you re-read something about four days after you first learned it. F．It is quick and easy and works well. G．All through our lives, we are learning new things. 【答案】26．G 27．A 28．E 29．F 30．D 【导语】本文介绍了科学家们通过采访优秀学生，发现的一些有效的学习方法。 26．根据“There are other things we don’t often think about, like learning, but we should.”和“However, many of us have no real idea what the best way to learn is.”可知，上下文引入学习话题，此空应与后文“However”转折自然衔接。选项G“在我们的一生中，我们都在不断学习新知识。”符合语境。故选G。 27．根据“So a group of scientists in the USA interviewed some excellent students to find some answers”可知，美国的一群科学家采访了一些优秀的学生来寻找答案，由此可知空处指他们的采访的结果。选项A“以下是他们的发现。”符合语境。故选A。 28．根据“But if you read something again right after you finish learning it, there is almost no use.”可知，不能一学完就重读。选项E“如果你在第一次学习的四天后重新阅读，这种方法效果最好。”符合语境。故选E。 29．根据“Self-testing is one of the best ways of remembering new things.”可知，前文讲自我测试是记忆新事物的好方法。选项F“这种方法既快捷又简单，效果也非常好。”是对自我测试方法的评价，符合语境。故选F。 30．根据“It is much better to try and learn less at one time and study it a few days later.”可知，最好是一次少学一点，过几天再学；由此推知一次不能学太多。选项D“花几个小时不停地学习也不是一个好方法。”符合语境。故选D。 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31．They had remained (安静的) until they were well away from the house. 【答案】silent 【详解】句意：他们一直保持安静，直到离房子很远。根据“had remained”可知，remain为系动词，后接形容词作表语，安静的“silent”，为形容词。故填silent。 32．The United States (归还) 41 pieces of cultural relics and artworks to China on 4 March, 2025. 【答案】returned 【详解】句意：2025年3月4日，美国向中国归还了41件文物和艺术品。根据汉语提示可知，return“归还”，动词。设空处缺少谓语动词，根据“on 4 March, 2025”可知，时间发生在过去，要用一般过去时，“return”的过去式为“returned”。故填returned。 33．The wind (吹；刮) hard last night, making trees move and leaves fly around. 【答案】blew 【详解】句意：昨晚风刮得很大，使得树木摇晃，树叶四处飞舞。根据“last night”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，时态为一般过去时，横线处需填一个动词表示“吹；刮”的意思，给定单词“吹；刮”的英文表达为blow，动词，其过去式为blew。故填blew。 34．The g plans to carry out a survey on environmental protection next month. 【答案】government/overnment 【详解】句意：政府计划下个月进行一次关于环境保护的调查。environmental protection指“环境保护调查”，这通常由政府机构或类似官方实体执行，结合首字母提示可知，空格处应填名词government“政府”。故填government。 35．Mozart showed his great intelligence at b .

In a space study on zebrafish (斑马鱼)，Chinese scientists have set a new record. They 44 (make)four zebrafish live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on 25 April. 45 grew up and had 46 (they) babies in 43 days. So 47 did the special closed environment work? The scientists gave the fish food through 48 special needle (针). Such a closed-loop (闭合环路的) ecosystem is 49 (importance) for future studies in space. It 50 (mean) that plants and animals can live in space more simply. The scientists also found that the zebrafish’s behaviour (行为) in space was different 51 that on earth. They often swam on their backs. That’s because the low gravity (重力) in space made it possible. On earth, gravity pulls everything to the earth’s centre, and animals can find their way 52 (easy). Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become much 53 (strong). Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health. 【答案】 44．made 45．They 46．their 47．how 48．a 49．important 50．means 51．from 52．easily 53．stronger 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国科学家在关于斑马鱼的太空研究中创下新纪录，让四条斑马鱼在封闭水环境中生活成长，它们在太空的鱼箱中繁衍后代，还介绍了封闭生态系统的运作原理、斑马鱼在太空和地球上行为的不同及原因，以及这一发现对理解人类健康的帮助。 44．句意：他们让四条斑马鱼在一个封闭的水世界里生存和成长。根据“In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record. They… four zebrafish live and grow in a closed water world.”可知，在一项关于斑马鱼的太空研究中，中国科学家创造了新纪录，他们让四条斑马鱼在一个封闭的水世界里生存和成长，由句意可推知，本句是一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式made。故填made。 45．句意：它们在43天内长大并生下了它们的宝宝。根据“The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on 25 April. … grew up and had… babies in 43 days.”可知，此空指的应是the zebrafish，即前文说的“四条斑马鱼”，所以，此处应用they代替，位于句首，首字母大写。故填They。 46．句意：它们在43天内长大并生下了它们的宝宝。根据“They grew up and had… babies in 43 days.”可知，本句they指代的是前文说的“四条斑马鱼”，所以，它们生下了它们的宝宝，句中“babies”是名词，前面要用形容词性物主代词来修饰，“they”的形容词性物主代词是“their”。故填their。 47．句意：那么这种特殊的封闭环境是如何工作的呢？根据“So… did the special closed environment work?”及后面的回答可知，此处是在询问方式，所以应该使用疑问副词“how”。故填how。 48．句意：科学家们通过一个特殊的针管给鱼喂食。根据“The scientists gave the fish food through… special needle”可知，句中此处表示“一个”特殊的针管，是泛指，“special”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词“a”。故填a。 49．句意：这样的一个封闭生态系统对未来的太空研究很重要。根据“Such a closed-loop ecosystem is… for future studies in space.”可知，这样封闭生态系统对未来的太空研究很重要，be important for“对……很重要”，固定短语，所以，此处应用importance的形容词important。故填important。 50．句意：这意味着植物和动物可以在太空中更简单地生存。根据“It… that plants and animals can live in space more simply.”可知，本句是一般现在时，主语It是单三，所以，谓语动词mean应用单数形式means。故填means。 51．句意：科学家们还发现，斑马鱼在太空中的行为与在地球上的不同。根据“The scientists also found that the zebrafish’s behavior in space was different… that on earth.”可知，句中此处“be different from”是固定短语，意为“与……不同”。故填from。 52．句意：在地球上，重力把一切都拉向地球的中心，动物们能轻松地找到它们的路。根据“On earth, gravity pulls everything to earth’s center, and animals can find their way….”可知，“find their way”是动词短语，要用副词来修饰，“easy”的副词形式是“easily”。故填easily。 53．句意：重力还使他们的身体更加努力地工作，从而变得更强壮。根据“Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become much… .”可知，much修饰形容词或副词的比较级，表示“……的多”，此处是把在太空中和在地球上动物身体的情况作比较，暗含比较的意思，所以要用“strong”的比较级“stronger”，much stronger的意思是“强壮的多”。故填stronger。 第六部分 阅读表达（共3小题；1题2分，2题2分，3题3分，满分7分） 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, which falls on April 20 this year. As the last solar term in spring, this period sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture. It links grain with rain, reflecting an increasing amount of rainfall, which is good for the growth of crops. For farmers, it is a good time to sow. It might not be so well-known that in Chinese tale an actual “grain rain” was recorded in the story of Cang Jie, who invented the first Chinese characters. Cang Jie created a set of characters from observing(观察)the tracks(足迹)of birds and mammals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky. The Grain Rain Day has become a day to honor Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of the spiritual homeland of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity.Answer the questions according to the passage. 54．Who invented the first Chinese characters according to the passage? 55．What usually happens on the day of Grain Rain? 56．Do you think the Twenty-four Solar Terms are useful? Why or why not? 【答案】54．Cang Jie. 55．The temperature rises and rainfall increases. 56．Yes. Because farmers can grow things well according to the wenty-four Solar Terms. 【导语】本文主要介绍了二十四节气中的谷雨。 54．根据“Cang Jie, who invented the first Chinese characters”可知仓颉发明了第一个汉字。故填Cang Jie. 55．根据“this period sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase”可知在谷雨时，温度上升，雨水增加。故填The temperature rises and rainfall increases. 56．开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如：我认为二十四节气有用，因为农民可以根据二十四节气种植作物。故填Yes. Because farmers can grow things well according to the wenty-four Solar Terms. 第七部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 57. 假如你是学校的小记者，对竞选校学生会主席之一的刘浩进行了采访。请根据以下采访记录，给学校写一篇关于刘浩的推荐信。 注意:1.短文必须包括上述所给内容，可作适当发挥: 2.词数:90词左右(文章开头已经给出，不计入总词数); 3.文中不能出现真实姓名、校名等信息。 Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to recommend Liu Hao as the chairperson of the Students’ Union.

They used cameras and found 60 of these bears in the Tarija region, bringing hope that the endangered species has begun to thrive (繁荣). Scottish beavers (河狸) For the first time in 400 years, wild beavers have been born in Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. In the past few weeks, two beaver babies have been born to two of six beaver families in the area. Beavers build dams in flowing water, which can help to restore (修复) rivers and wetlands. Common earthworms (蚯蚓) The common earthworm has been named the UK invertebrate (无脊椎动物) of the year by readers of The Guardian newspaper. Every year in the UK, earthworms bring 40 tons of soil to the surface per 10,000 square meters of land. This helps plants to grow and soil to store water, preventing floods. 11．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to the future of Andean bears? A．Not sure. B．Sad. C．Hopeful. D．Worried. 12．What can Scottish beavers help restore? A．Farmlands. B．Rivers. C．Lakes. D．Mountains. 13．The third piece of news mainly tells us ________. A．ways of saving water B．ways of preventing floods C．plant growth in the UK D．the importance of earthworms B You must have read or heard of the love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, which is from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin. But can you imagine two people singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese? Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. It is welcomed by audiences (观众) at home and abroad. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters (章) and hundreds of characters. But the opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin instead of the rise and fall of the Jia family and tried to write a heart-breaking tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director, Timmy Yip, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings (布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her. It isn’t the first time that they have made an opera adapted (改编) from Chinese literature. The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences, spreading Chinese culture to the world. They are happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where their parents were born. 14．What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions? A．It is long and there are many different characters. B．It was written by David Henry Hwang. C．It is a classic Chinese opera known all over the world. D．It tells a love story between Jia and Lin with a happy ending. 15．In which sentence does the word “land” have the same meaning as the underlined one? A．The land was dry and hard after the long and hot summer. B．It isn’t clear whether the plane went down over land or sea. C．As a plane fan, he often goes to see planes land and take off. D．Those heroes help people in danger and protect their land in time. 16．What do the creators of the opera think of their job according to the passage? A．Tiring and boring. B．Satisfying and meaningful. C．Difficult and unbelievable. D．Exciting and surprising. 17．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Rise and Fall of the Jia Family B．The Opera of A Dream of Red Mansions C．Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu Sing Foreign Opera D．The Love Story Between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu C Huang Xuhua had a childhood dream: he wanted to study medicine and save people. His parents were both doctors, and their work made him want to do medical research too. But in 1940, there was a war. Huang had to go to different cities for middle school. This made him change his mind—he decided to study science instead. In 1945, Huang went to National Chiao Tung University to learn ship building. After four years’ learning, he became a ship-building engineer. In the late 1950s, China planned to make its own nuclear submarines (核潜艇). Huang was picked to join the research team. Before starting the work, Huang went back to his hometown on New Year’s Day in 1957. After that, he didn’t return home for 30 years, and his family had no idea what he was doing. With his team, they made big breakthroughs (突破) in seven important technologies and designed China’s first nuclear submarine. On December 26, 1970, China sent its first nuclear submarine into the sea. This let China join the small group of countries that have nuclear submarines. All Chinese people felt proud, and Huang was very happy too. He was the only one crying with joy among the people. Huang’s work for China’s nuclear submarines was very important. He and his team helped China make its own nuclear submarines. This was a big milestone (里程碑) in China’s military (军事的) history. His love for work and country encourages everyone who wants to make the world better. 18．When Huang Xuhua was a kid, his dream was to be a ________. A．scientist B．doctor C．soldier D．teacher 19．Which of the following is the right order of the text? ①Huang was chosen to be a member of the nuclear submarine research team. ②Huang went to National Chiao Tung University to study ship building. ③China set off its first nuclear submarine successfully. ④Huang studied in different cities during his middle school years. A．④-②-①-③ B．①-④-②-③ C．④-①-②-③ D．②-③-①-④ 20．Huang felt ________ when China launched its first nuclear submarine. A．interested B．excited C．bored D．sad 21．What can we learn from Huang’s experience? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．A good teacher leads to a bright future. D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. D One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate change, autumn is changing. According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.” Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.” If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to slow down this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently. Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow. 22．Which is the effect of climate change on autumn? A．The season length is becoming shorter. B．Leaves are changing their colors and falling later. C．There are more frosts in autumn. D．Pests are no longer active. 23．What does the word “ruin” most likely mean in the passage? A．Cause damage. B．Improve greatly. C．Become more colorful. D．Change completely. 24．What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to? A．The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s lives. B．Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before. C．The autumn changes because of climate change. D．Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions. 25．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To call for actions against climate change. B．To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. C．To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D．To explain the research about leaf phenology. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，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。 There are some things that we don’t often think about, like walking, because there really is no need to. There are other things we don’t often think about, like learning, but we should. 26 However, many of us have no real idea what the best way to learn is. So a group of scientists in the USA interviewed some excellent students to find some answers. 27 Almost all students re-read when they are trying to learn new information. But if you read something again right after you finish learning it, there is almost no use. 28 Self-testing is one of the best ways of remembering new things. 29 You can just answer questions and see the answers at the back of a book, or you can ask and answer questions with a friend. Many students underline (标记) things when they are reading something for the first time or when they don’t really know if it is important or not. But this doesn’t help much with learning. 30 It is much better to try and learn less at one time and study it a few days later. A．Here are their findings. B．Some people already know the best way to learn. C．The answers are very helpful to improve your reading. D．It’s also not a good way to spend hours learning without stopping. E．The way works best if you re-read something about four days after you first learned it. F．It is quick and easy and works well. G．All through our lives, we are learning new things. 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31．They had remained (安静的) until they were well away from the house. 32．The United States (归还) 41 pieces of cultural relics and artworks to China on 4 March, 2025. 33．The wind (吹；刮) hard last night, making trees move and leaves fly around. 34．The g plans to carry out a survey on environmental protection next month. 35．Mozart showed his great intelligence at b .
