【答案】9. B 10. A 11. B 12. A
【解析】
【原文】W: Hello, Tom. How are you finding teaching here?
M: I get the feeling that the school is old but successful. The buildings and equipment are all so old, but amazingly, the students seem happy. The school pays attention to the all-round development of students. It seems to offer a whole range of subjects, not just English and maths.
W: I think that’s good because our school can bring together a mixture of teachers of different subjects. A geography teacher provides fresh ideas that you can use to teach your subject.
M: I have chosen English. I have always found it a real eye-opener to talk to other English teachers, because people’s methods of teaching the same subject can be different. Actually, I think as a teacher, I should make sure I can do well in each class, but I can’t always do it.
W: Each class develops its own culture, and not all teachers do well in each class. You just have to accept that you can’t teach every class well. I can’t either.
M: Maybe you are right.

Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines, left us on February 6th, 2025. But his great deeds and strong spirit will always stay in our hearts and keep lighting up China’s way forward.
Born in March 1926 to a family of doctors in Guangdong province, Huang was the third child of his parents. After spending his boyhood in wartime, he entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. The memories of the hard times of China under foreign attacks made him study hard. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1949, right after his graduation. In 1958, he was chosen to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear submarine.
The challenges were overwhelming. Yet, Huang accepted it without hesitation. For the next three decades, Huang disappeared from the public life. He couldn’t reveal his work even to his closest family. The team members didn’t have any computers or digital calculators, so they used abacuses (算盘) and rulers to solve problems. To ensure the right calculation results, they were divided into three groups to make the calculations at the same time. They faced numerous failures and moments of despair, but they never gave up.
In 1970, their hard work paid off. China’s first nuclear submarine was successfully launched, making China the fifth country in the world to possess this technology. But Huang’s name was kept secret until 1987 when he finally reunited with his 93-year-old mother.
Due to his outstanding contributions, Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor in 2019.
24. How long did Huang Xuhua work in secret on the nuclear submarine project?
A. About 10 years. B. About 20 years. C. About 30 years. D. About 40 years.
25. What was the main challenge Huang Xuhua faced in his work?
A. Language barriers with foreign experts.
B. Lack of support from the government.
C. Opposition from his family members.
D. Limited resources and complete secrecy.
26. What can we learn from Huang Xuhua’s story?
A. Technological progress requires international cooperation.
B. Personal success is more important than national interests.
C. Courage means persisting through difficulties for a greater cause.
D. Scientific research should always be conducted in public.
27. The most suitable title for this passage would be ________.
A. The Overnight Success of China’s Nuclear Program.
B. Thirty Years of Silent Dedication.
C. The Life of a Famous Scientist.
D. How to Build a Nuclear Submarine.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国第一代核潜艇总设计师黄旭华的生平事迹,他隐姓埋名三十年,克服重重困难,为中国核潜艇事业做出巨大贡献,最终获得国家最高荣誉勋章。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“For the next three decades, Huang disappeared from the public life.(在接下来的三十年里,黄旭华从公众生活中消失了。)”以及第四段中“But Huang’s name was kept secret until 1987 when he finally reunited with his 93-year-old mother.(但黄旭华的名字一直保密到1987年,当时他终于与93岁的母亲团聚。)”可知,黄旭华在核潜艇项目上秘密工作了约 30 年。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He couldn’t reveal his work even to his closest family. The team members didn’t have any computers or digital calculators, so they used abacuses (算盘) and rulers to solve problems.(他甚至不能向最亲近的家人透露自己的工作。团队成员没有任何电脑或数字计算器,所以他们用算盘和尺子来解决问题。)”可知,黄旭华在工作中面临的主要挑战是资源有限(没有电脑和数字计算器,只能使用算盘和尺子)和完全保密(甚至不能告诉家人自己的工作)。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They faced numerous failures and moments of despair, but they never gave up.(他们面临无数次失败和绝望的时刻,但他们从未放弃。)”以及全文对黄旭华隐姓埋名、克服困难、坚持为国家核潜艇事业奋斗的描述,可以推断出黄旭华的故事告诉我们:勇气意味着为了更大的事业而坚持克服困难。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第三段中的“For the next three decades, Huang disappeared from the public life.(在接下来的三十年里,黄旭华从公众生活中消失了。)”以及第四段中的“But Huang’s name was kept secret until 1987 when he finally reunited with his 93-year-old mother.(但黄旭华的名字一直保密到1987年,当时他终于与93岁的母亲团聚。)”可知,文章主要讲述了黄旭华隐姓埋名三十年,默默奉献,为中国核潜艇事业做出巨大贡献的故事。因此,最合适的标题是“三十年的默默奉献”。故选B。
C
When the Derby Arboretum, one of the first public parks in England, opened in 1840, it was only open to the public on Sundays and Wednesdays. For the rest of the week, its fountains and pathways were reserved for paying customers, whose entry fees effectively supported the park.
The system was scrapped in 1882, as the growing concern for public health among Victorian reformers sped up the creation of open public parks in towns and cities across England. Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum. But another form of gatekeeping is taking place in parks today. Councils that have seen their budgets severely reduced due to financial challenges are finding ways to turn parks into cash-generating properties, often by renting stretches of the land to fenced-off commercial events.
These deals can be mutually (互相) beneficial, particularly when the park is sizable and locals are consulted. They can also seem like a destructive form of temporary privatization. Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园).
Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals. The reliance on commercial income isn’t limited to London. Residents in Swansea and Manchester have complained about frequent fenced-off events. Councils find themselves in a difficult position. Parks are a non-essential service, and so they are at risk of cost-cutting. Income from events has become an increasingly important source of income. For councils that cannot make their parks pay, the risk is a thinning of local facilities and declining public space.
Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future.
28. What does the underlined word “scrapped” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Simplified. B. Designed. C. Abandoned. D. Detailed.
29. Why was Tough Mudder criticized?
A. It refused to consult the council.
B. It designed inadequate obstacle courses.
C. It involved quite a few local racers.
D. It had an unfavourable environmental impact.
30. What is the concern about the reliance on commercial income for parks?
A. Insufficient event facilities. B. Reduced parkland accessibility.
C. Decreased park maintenance. D. Lack of interest from residents.
31. What is the author’s opinion on parks?
A. They should be truly for everyone.
B. They should be funded by councils.
C. They should be protected by park-goers.
D. They should enhance community engagement.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讨论了英国公共公园的历史变迁及当前面临的商业化问题。文章通过德比植物园的例子,指出公园从部分收费到全面开放的转变,以及如今因财政压力导致的商业化趋势,并探讨了这种趋势对公众使用公园的影响。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线句后文“Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum.( 现在任何人都可以进入德比植物园)”可知,划线句“The system was scrapped in 1882”表示该系统在1882年被废除,“scrapped”指原有的收费制度被“废除”。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园).(本月早些时候,伦敦北部的哈林区议会将芬斯伯里公园的一部分场地租给了“Tough Mudder”赛事组织方。该赛事是一项颇受欢迎的成人障碍赛跑活动。鼓励户外运动的举措是值得欢迎的,但该活动的规模和性质却引发了批评。因为数百名参赛者将场地变成了泥泞的海洋,并损坏了一处社区果园。)”可知,活动的规模和性质引发批评,因参赛者将场地变成泥海并破坏了社区果园,因此批评的原因是活动对环境造成了负面影响。 故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals.(各种赛事和节日能带来收入,这些收入可以被市政部门用于公园的维护工作,但同时这些活动也可能将公园的部分区域封闭起来,从而减少了市民对这些区域的访问便利性。)”可知,收入可以用于公园的维护,但是围起部分公园区域使当地人更难进入,因此可知依赖商业收入的担忧是公园可进入性降低。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future.(公园是为数不多的真正属于公众的公共空间之一。它们为我们提供了清新的空气和舒适的环境,为我们提供了放松和锻炼的空间。政府不应依赖商业收入来保障公园的未来发展。)”可知,作者认为公园是最后的真正公共空间之一,议会不应依赖商业收入来保障其未来,因此推断作者认为公园应真正为所有人服务。故选A。
D
Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton.
Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.
For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare.
Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself.
“The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944.
And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts.
“Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.”
Especially considering what Einstein was proposing.
“The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you'll find the solution.”
Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of 1905. These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.
What might happen to such a submission today?
“We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.”
32. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs?
A. Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits.
B. It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory.
C. No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years.
D. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.
33. What was critical to Einstein’s success?
A. His talent as an accomplished musician B. His independent and abstract thinking.
C. His untiring effort to fulfill his potential. D. His solid foundation in math theory.
34. What does the author tell us about physicists today?
A. They tend to neglect training in analytical skills.
B. They are very good at solving practical problems.
C. They attach great importance to publishing academic papers.
D. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.
35. What does Brian Greene imply by saying “…it would be a lot harder for him to be heard” (Underlined, Para. 9)?
A. People have to compete in order to get their papers published.
B. It is hard for a scientist to have his papers published today.
C. Papers like Einstein’s would unlikely get published today.
D. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,科学家们预测未来会诞生新的科学巨匠,但统一理论的挑战促使数学革新。然而,现代物理学环境变化、教育背景和职业选择都可能阻碍新爱因斯坦的出现,文章探讨了过去独立思考、跨学科技能和独特洞察的重要性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time.(科学家们说,一个新的爱因斯坦将会出现。但这可能需要很长时间)”和第二段中“Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now.(许多物理学家说,下一个爱因斯坦还没有出生,或者现在还是个婴儿)”可知,科学家认为新爱因斯坦会出现,但可能需要很长时间,第二段中提到下一个爱因斯坦尚未出生或现在还是个婴儿,支持需要长时间的观点。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself.(它教会了他如何独立和抽象地思考空间和时间,不久之后,他自己也成为了一名哲学家)”和第六段““The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944.(“在我看来,哲学洞察力所创造的独立性是一个工匠或专家与一个真正的真理追求者之间的区别。” 爱因斯坦在1944年写道)”可知,独立和抽象地思考能力是爱因斯坦成功的关键,故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts.(如今,大学培养了数百万物理学家。科学领域的工作对他们来说并不多,所以他们去了华尔街和硅谷,把他们的分析技能应用到更实际、更有回报的工作中)”可知,如今的物理学家往往进入经济效益更大的领域,故选D。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。第九段中““Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.”( “也许今天真的有一个爱因斯坦” 哥伦比亚大学的物理学家Brian Greene说,“但要让人们听到他的声音要困难得多。”)”提到,Brian Greene说也许今天有另一个爱因斯坦,但要让人们听到他的声音会困难得多。倒数第四段中“The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!(空间和时间弯曲的实际结构?我的天哪,这是什么想法)”对爱因斯坦的想法提出质疑、倒数第三段中“These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.(这些“思想实验”是一页又一页的计算结果,由一个默默无闻的人签名提交给了著名的Annalen der Physik杂志。没有脚注或引文)”提到爱因斯坦1905年提交的论文是“思想实验”,没有脚注或引用,最后一段““We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.”(“我们都收到过这样的邮件。” Greene 说。“我们把它们放在了垃圾文件里。”)”通过Greene的话说明,类似论文今天会被放入“垃圾文件”,这暗示现代学术环境更难接受爱因斯坦式的非传统论文,这些论文不太可能被发表,故选C。

Due to lacking originality, conventional farming has many processes and requires the manure (肥料) of chemical mixtures to make the soil rich in nutrients. ____37____ Nutrients are provided to the plants, majorly in liquid form, and their needs are met throughout life, from seeds to ripe fruit.
In many soilless farming systems, water is recycled and reused until the plants are ready to harvest. ____38____ Additionally, it reduces the physical labor and energy required from workers, helping them achieve higher profits while keeping costs very low.
By following standardized steps throughout the entire production process, soilless farming can supply crops to the market every day, meeting consumers’ needs. When countries that rely on food imports see how productive this farming method is, they will begin growing crops locally all year round. ____39____
____40____ The rate at which pathogens (病原体) attack the farm will be zero as a result of how the planting environment is concerned, and if the pathogen ever attacks, the infected plant will be easily separated to avoid infecting the farm as a whole. Developed countries in the world are expected to adopt this mode of farming because doing so reduces the level of food importation and increases the availability of food in the country.
A. However, soil farming requires more workload.
B. The quality of the harvested food may be controlled.
C. After all, food imports might pollute the environment.
D. Hence, soilless farming is an alternative to dry regions.
E. With this method, crops can be planted almost everywhere.
F. Soilless farming has less workload and can enhance growth.
G. In this way, even seasonal produce can be harvested anytime.

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:处暑是中国传统太阳历中的第14个节气,标志着一个重要的季节过渡。本句已有谓语动词is,此处mark需作非谓语成分,主语Chu Shu与mark是主动关系,因此用现在分词marking作伴随状语,补充说明处暑的作用。故填marking。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:这个节气,其最初的含义是“休息”,如今已演变为表示炎热夏季的结束和凉爽秋日的开始。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是this term,从句中original meaning与this term是所属关系,所以用关系代词whose引导定语从句,在从句中作定语。故填whose。

【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管秋天临近,尤其是中国南方的地区,仍可能遭遇被称为“秋老虎”的间歇性暑热。本句已有谓语动词may still experience,此处refer需作非谓语成分,空格前summer heat与refer是被动关系,表示“被称为……”,用过去分词referred作后置定语。故填referred。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:在农业方面,中国各地的农民准备收割像水稻、高粱等农作物,这些作物在这段时间成熟。此处表示举例,用介词like,表示“像……”。故填like。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:这段时间也恰逢各种仪式和对土地感恩的表达。diverse表示“多样的”,需接可数名词复数,作宾语。故填ceremonies。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:处暑期间一个值得注意的文化习俗是祭祖,这与中元节密切相关。此处修饰名词cultural practice,需用形容词作定语。故填notable。
【64题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:这个节日在中国农历的十五日。fall on是固定短语,表示“(节日)适逢某日”,主语this festival是第三人称单数,且表示客观事实用一般现在时。故填falls。

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。
The school bell rang, signaling the end of another math class. I packed up my things and headed towards the door, math symbols still racing through my mind. As I stepped into the hallway, I noticed a group of students gathered around a new poster on the bulletin board. Curious, I joined them and read the announcement: “School Science Fair: Sign up now and showcase your talents!” A wave of excitement washed over me. After all, my chance to dive into a project I was passionate about was approaching.
I rushed home and started brainstorming ideas for my science fair project. Fascinated by renewable energy, I decided to focus on solar power. I spent hours researching and planning, determined to create a model of a solar-powered system that could be used in everyday life. Days turned into weeks, and I worked tirelessly, improving my model and writing up my findings.
To win a prize, the project had to be both innovative and practical. I decided to build a scale model of a solar-powered water heater, a device that could be easily installed on rooftops to provide hot water for households. This would not only demonstrate the efficiency of solar energy but also its potential to save money and reduce pollution. I spent countless evenings after homework, constructing the model from recycled materials and small solar panels I ordered online.
The big day finally arrived. I arrived early to set up my display, carefully arranging my model, charts, and informational handouts on the table. A small solar-powered light was even brought to show additional examples of how solar energy worked. As visitors began to stream in, I stood by my model, ready to answer any questions they would throw to me.
By turning a dial to simulate (模仿) the angle of the sun, visitors saw how it affected the amount of energy my model could collect. This hands-on component made my display more engaging and helped visitors understand the science behind solar power in a more vivid way.
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。
Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they inspected my solar-powered water heater model. Some were students like me, while others were teachers and even parents. One little boy, with a big pair of glasses, asked me how the solar panels converted sunlight into heat energy. I explained it to him patiently, using simple terms so he could understand. Another teacher praised my practical approach to using renewable energy. As I answered their questions one by one, I felt a growing sense of pride. The interaction with them not only deepened my understanding of the project but also made me realize the significance of spreading the knowledge of solar power.
At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize. Whether I would win or not didn’t seem to matter much anymore. The process of researching, building, and sharing my project had been a rewarding journey. I had learned so much about solar energy, and more importantly, I had the opportunity to inspire others with my work. The conversations I had with the visitors made me believe that I could contribute to the popularization of renewable energy in some small way. This experience had not only enhanced my scientific skills but also given me the confidence to explore more scientific fields in the future.

Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines, left us on February 6th, 2025. But his great deeds and strong spirit will always stay in our hearts and keep lighting up China’s way forward.
Born in March 1926 to a family of doctors in Guangdong province, Huang was the third child of his parents. After spending his boyhood in wartime, he entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. The memories of the hard times of China under foreign attacks made him study hard. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1949, right after his graduation. In 1958, he was chosen to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear submarine.
The challenges were overwhelming. Yet, Huang accepted it without hesitation. For the next three decades, Huang disappeared from the public life. He couldn’t reveal his work even to his closest family. The team members didn’t have any computers or digital calculators, so they used abacuses (算盘) and rulers to solve problems. To ensure the right calculation results, they were divided into three groups to make the calculations at the same time. They faced numerous failures and moments of despair, but they never gave up.
In 1970, their hard work paid off. China’s first nuclear submarine was successfully launched, making China the fifth country in the world to possess this technology. But Huang’s name was kept secret until 1987 when he finally reunited with his 93-year-old mother.
Due to his outstanding contributions, Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor in 2019.
24. How long did Huang Xuhua work in secret on the nuclear submarine project?
A. About 10 years. B. About 20 years. C. About 30 years. D. About 40 years.
25. What was the main challenge Huang Xuhua faced in his work?
A. Language barriers with foreign experts.
B. Lack of support from the government.
C. Opposition from his family members.
D. Limited resources and complete secrecy.
26. What can we learn from Huang Xuhua’s story?
A. Technological progress requires international cooperation.
B. Personal success is more important than national interests.
C. Courage means persisting through difficulties for a greater cause.
D. Scientific research should always be conducted in public.
27. The most suitable title for this passage would be ________.
A. The Overnight Success of China’s Nuclear Program.
B. Thirty Years of Silent Dedication.
C. The Life of a Famous Scientist.
D. How to Build a Nuclear Submarine.
C
When the Derby Arboretum, one of the first public parks in England, opened in 1840, it was only open to the public on Sundays and Wednesdays. For the rest of the week, its fountains and pathways were reserved for paying customers, whose entry fees effectively supported the park.
The system was scrapped in 1882, as the growing concern for public health among Victorian reformers sped up the creation of open public parks in towns and cities across England. Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum. But another form of gatekeeping is taking place in parks today. Councils that have seen their budgets severely reduced due to financial challenges are finding ways to turn parks into cash-generating properties, often by renting stretches of the land to fenced-off commercial events.
These deals can be mutually (互相) beneficial, particularly when the park is sizable and locals are consulted. They can also seem like a destructive form of temporary privatization. Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园).
Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals. The reliance on commercial income isn’t limited to London. Residents in Swansea and Manchester have complained about frequent fenced-off events. Councils find themselves in a difficult position. Parks are a non-essential service, and so they are at risk of cost-cutting. Income from events has become an increasingly important source of income. For councils that cannot make their parks pay, the risk is a thinning of local facilities and declining public space.
Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future.
28. What does the underlined word “scrapped” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Simplified. B. Designed. C. Abandoned. D. Detailed.
29. Why was Tough Mudder criticized?
A. It refused to consult the council.
B. It designed inadequate obstacle courses.
C. It involved quite a few local racers.
D. It had an unfavourable environmental impact.
30. What is the concern about the reliance on commercial income for parks?
A. Insufficient event facilities. B. Reduced parkland accessibility.
C. Decreased park maintenance. D. Lack of interest from residents.
31. What is the author’s opinion on parks?
A. They should be truly for everyone.
B. They should be funded by councils.
C. They should be protected by park-goers.
D. They should enhance community engagement.
D
Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton.
Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.
For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare.
Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself.
“The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944.
And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts.
“Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.”
Especially considering what Einstein was proposing.
“The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you'll find the solution.”
Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of 1905. These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.
What might happen to such a submission today?
“We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.”
32. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs?
A. Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits.
B. It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory.
C. No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years.
D. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.
33. What was critical to Einstein’s success?
A. His talent as an accomplished musician B. His independent and abstract thinking.
C. His untiring effort to fulfill his potential. D. His solid foundation in math theory.
34. What does the author tell us about physicists today?
A. They tend to neglect training in analytical skills.
B. They are very good at solving practical problems.
C. They attach great importance to publishing academic papers.
D. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.
35. What does Brian Greene imply by saying “…it would be a lot harder for him to be heard” (Underlined, Para. 9)?
A. People have to compete in order to get their papers published.
B. It is hard for a scientist to have his papers published today.
C. Papers like Einstein’s would unlikely get published today.
D. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.

Soilless farming, as the name implies, is a type of farming where plants are cultured and grown without the use of the soil. It is also a systematic technique where plants are grown without the use of soil as a rooting environment. ____36____
Due to lacking originality, conventional farming has many processes and requires the manure (肥料) of chemical mixtures to make the soil rich in nutrients. ____37____ Nutrients are provided to the plants, majorly in liquid form, and their needs are met throughout life, from seeds to ripe fruit.
In many soilless farming systems, water is recycled and reused until the plants are ready to harvest. ____38____ Additionally, it reduces the physical labor and energy required from workers, helping them achieve higher profits while keeping costs very low.
By following standardized steps throughout the entire production process, soilless farming can supply crops to the market every day, meeting consumers’ needs. When countries that rely on food imports see how productive this farming method is, they will begin growing crops locally all year round. ____39____
____40____ The rate at which pathogens (病原体) attack the farm will be zero as a result of how the planting environment is concerned, and if the pathogen ever attacks, the infected plant will be easily separated to avoid infecting the farm as a whole. Developed countries in the world are expected to adopt this mode of farming because doing so reduces the level of food importation and increases the availability of food in the country.
A. However, soil farming requires more workload.
B. The quality of the harvested food may be controlled.
C. After all, food imports might pollute the environment.
D. Hence, soilless farming is an alternative to dry regions.
E. With this method, crops can be planted almost everywhere.
F. Soilless farming has less workload and can enhance growth.
G. In this way, even seasonal produce can be harvested anytime.

The school bell rang, signaling the end of another math class. I packed up my things and headed towards the door, math symbols still racing through my mind. As I stepped into the hallway, I noticed a group of students gathered around a new poster on the bulletin board. Curious, I joined them and read the announcement: “School Science Fair: Sign up now and showcase your talents!” A wave of excitement washed over me. After all, my chance to dive into a project I was passionate about was approaching.
I rushed home and started brainstorming ideas for my science fair project. Fascinated by renewable energy, I decided to focus on solar power. I spent hours researching and planning, determined to create a model of a solar-powered system that could be used in everyday life. Days turned into weeks, and I worked tirelessly, improving my model and writing up my findings.
To win a prize, the project had to be both innovative and practical. I decided to build a scale model of a solar-powered water heater, a device that could be easily installed on rooftops to provide hot water for households. This would not only demonstrate the efficiency of solar energy but also its potential to save money and reduce pollution. I spent countless evenings after homework, constructing the model from recycled materials and small solar panels I ordered online.
The big day finally arrived. I arrived early to set up my display, carefully arranging my model, charts, and informational handouts on the table. A small solar-powered light was even brought to show additional examples of how solar energy worked. As visitors began to stream in, I stood by my model, ready to answer any questions they would throw to me.
By turning a dial to simulate (模仿) the angle of the sun, visitors saw how it affected the amount of energy my model could collect. This hands-on component made my display more engaging and helped visitors understand the science behind solar power in a more vivid way.
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。
Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize.
