If I’m not working, I’m writing. If I’m not writing, I’m posting online or volunteering with my friends. My friends joke that I’m always busy, but believe it or not. I’ve learned to slow down. Whenever I tell my friends how much I have going on, they’ll ask me if I’m “good busy”. I don’t think this is a good question, because I don’t view having a lot going on as good or bad. Society loves to label “busy”, whether it’s living a life full of exciting projects or feeling at a loss during a busy week. But whether we’re preoccupied with distracting things or focused on to-do lists, we should know that no type of “busy” is better than any other. Being busy often results in distraction and burnout because people don’t always feel the need to rest and may feel pressure to make the most of every minute. However, you don’t have to do everything all at once. And if you don’t complete your work, it doesn’t mean that your day isn’t productive or that you waste your time. No matter how we define “busy”, we should stop using “busy” as an identity. The pressure to overwork ourselves to stay “busy” doesn’t do us good. More importantly, we need to recognize that our focus on doing something might result from how others treated us earlier. Maybe a parent or grandparent praised us for “being productive”, so we started feeling pressure to never have any downtime. Once we unpack why we believe that we need to constantly be productive, we begin to heal our relationship with staying busy. Finally, ‘‘busy” is a neutral (中性的) concept. Being productive doesn’t make us more worthy than when we slow down. The next time you call yourself “busy”, think about why you’re using that word. 4. What is the author’s reaction towards his friends’ question? A. He disapproves of it. B. He finds it disturbing. C. He feels encouraged. D. He is unconcerned. 5. What does the author think of being busy? A. It is a sign of being successful. B. It has a positive effect on our daily life. C. It leads to some physical and mental problems. D. It helps people to live a life filled with excitement. 6. Which of the following is suggested by the author according to paragraph 4? A. Stopping keeping busy. B. Understanding the result of the pressure. C. Trying to keep productive and energetic. D. Recognizing the source of our busy lifestyles. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Calling Yourself Busy Harms Health B. The Reasons for Keeping Busy C. Busy Is a Central State D. The Value of High Productivity 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了忙碌的中性本质及其危害，倡导理性对待。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I don’t think this is a good question, because I don’t view having a lot going on as good or bad.(我认为这个问题不太恰当，因为在我看来，事情繁多本身并没有好坏之分)”可知，作者认为这个问题不好，表达了一种不认同的负面态度，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Being busy often results in distraction and burnout because people don’t always feel the need to rest and may feel pressure to make the most of every minute.(忙碌的生活常常会导致分心和身心疲惫，因为人们往往不会觉得有必要休息，而且可能会感到有压力要充分利用每一分钟)”可知，忙碌经常导致分心和倦怠，这体现了其导致的身体和心理问题，故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“More importantly, we need to recognize that our focus on doing something might result from how others treated us earlier.(更重要的是，我们需要认识到，我们如今专注于做某件事，可能是因为之前别人对我们的态度所致)”可知，我们需要意识到导致我们保持忙碌行为的根源，故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Whenever I tell my friends how much I have going on, they’ll ask me if I’m “good busy”. I don’t think this is a good question, because I don’t view having a lot going on as good or bad. Society loves to label “busy”, whether it’s living a life full of exciting projects or feeling at a loss during a busy week. But whether we’re preoccupied with distracting things or focused on to-do lists, we should know that no type of “busy” is better than any other.(每当我向朋友们讲述自己忙得不可开交事情时，他们就会问我是不是“忙得不错”。我觉得这个问题并不好。因为在我看来，事情多忙并不意味着就是好事或坏事。社会总是喜欢给“忙碌”贴上标签，无论是过着充满精彩项目的充实生活，还是在忙碌的一周中感到无所适从。但无论我们是被各种令人分心的事物所困扰，还是专注于待办事项清单，我们都应该明白，任何一种“忙碌”都不比其他类型更好)”结合文章讨论了忙碌的负面影响，如导致分心和倦怠，并呼吁停止将忙碌作为身份标签，因此标题“自称忙碌会损害健康”为最佳标题，故选A项。 C Over 30% of food produced in the United States goes to waste, contributing significantly to CO2 emissions and costing the economy billions annually. As the third-largest contributor to foodservice-related food waste, hotels are increasingly taking action. Hilton, a global hotel leader, is applying lessons learned in Europe and Africa to reduce food waste across its operations. “We know hospitality accounts for about 3% of global food waste. Therefore, reducing waste is not only good for the planet, but it also supports business goals and attracts guests and employees who value sustainability.” said Emma Banks, Hilton’s vice president of food and drink strategy. Banks is instrumental in driving Hilton’s food sustainability agenda, overseeing food and drink operations across more than 70 countries. To tackle the issue, Hilton has maintained a long-standing partnership with Winnow, a commercial food waste solutions company, whose AI-powered system uses a camera, and screen to track and analyze food waste, generating data that kitchens can use to optimize their operations and minimize waste. Insights from Winnow have led to practical changes such as smaller buffet portions, cook-to-order stations, and reduced backup supplies. Hilton also takes cultural values into consideration. In cooperation with the United Nations Environment Program, the company launched a Green Ramadan program under the slogan (口号), “Halve the waste, double the blessings.” By changing how bread was served, one hotel in Dubai significantly reduced food waste. This success inspired the “Green Breakfast” program, which cut waste by over 60% at some locations. Chefs are also encouraged to create zero-waste dishes using thrown-away items — such as turning banana peels (皮) into baking powder. Looking forward, Hilton plans to expand its successful pilots into North America and the Asia-Pacific region. It recently became the first one to sign the U.S. Food Waste Pact, joining a growing national effort to reduce food waste across the country. Hilton’s joining represents a major milestone for the effort. Eventually, the Hilton hopes to inspire industry-wide change. 8. What does the underlined word “instrumental” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Sensitive. B. Permanent. C. Negative. D. Crucial. 9. Why was an AI-based system used in Hilton hotels? A. To keep an eye on the food ingredients. B. To guide operational efficiency and reduce waste. C. To remind chefs to support business goals. D. To show their valuing environmental protection. 10. What was the effect of the Green Ramadan program? A. It solved the problem of food waste in Dubai. B. It encouraged chefs to throw away items regularly. C. It inspired a broader sustainability initiative. D. It was replaced by the Green Breakfast program. 11. What can we infer about Hilton from the last paragraph? A. It regards North America as an important market. B It is positioned as an industry pioneer in sustainability. C. Its waste-reducing methods will be expanded worldwide. D. Its primary goal is to enlarge its business. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了希尔顿酒店利用人工智能技术及文化项目在全球范围内减少食物浪费的举措与愿景。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中画线单词所在句“Banks is instrumental in driving Hilton’s food sustainability agenda, overseeing food and drink operations across more than 70 countries. (班克斯在推动希尔顿食品可持续发展议程中_____，负责监督70多个国家的餐饮运营。)”可知，班克斯负责推动希尔顿的食品可持续发展议程，并监督其在70多个国家的运营，这表明她的角色对于该议程的实现是“至关重要的”。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To tackle the issue, Hilton has maintained a long-standing partnership with Winnow, a commercial food waste solutions company, whose AI-powered system uses a camera, and screen to track and analyze food waste, generating data that kitchens can use to optimize their operations and minimize waste. (为解决这一问题，希尔顿与商业食品浪费解决方案公司温诺保持着长期合作关系。该公司的人工智能系统通过摄像头和屏幕追踪并分析食物浪费情况，生成的数据可帮助厨房优化运营、最大限度减少浪费。)”可知，希尔顿使用人工智能系统的原因在于该人工智能系统的作用是生成数据以帮助厨房优化操作、减少浪费。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This success inspired the “Green Breakfast” program, which cut waste by over 60% at some locations. (这一成功启发了“绿色早餐”项目，该项目在部分门店将浪费减少了60%以上。)”可知，“绿色斋月”计划在迪拜的成功直接启发了一项更广泛的可持续发展行动(即“绿色早餐”项目)。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It recently became the first one to sign the U.S. Food Waste Pact, joining a growing national effort to reduce food waste across the country. Hilton’s joining represents a major milestone for the effort. Eventually, the Hilton hopes to inspire industry-wide change. (该集团最近成为首个签署《美国食物浪费公约》的企业，加入了美国国内日益壮大的减废行动。希尔顿的加入是这一举措的重要里程碑。最终，希尔顿希望能启发全行业的变革。)”可知，希尔顿成为首个签署者，并希望引领行业变革，这都表明它正将自身定位为可持续发展领域的“行业先驱者”。故选B。 D Many people love watching dolphins perform. However, a growing number of people now understand that these animals often suffer in captivity (囚禁). They believe these creatures belong in the wild, not in entertainment shows. This shift in public opinion has led to a major victory for animal welfare. The Mexican government has approved a nationwide ban on dolphin, seal, and whale performances. The new law will affect approximately 30 facilities that currently use marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) for shows. Mexico’s president prioritized this law to stop animal abuse and protect these creatures from life in captivity. Public opinion changed greatly because of some latest events. In early 2025, a video appeared showing a badly hurt dolphin from a beach’s show a few years earlier. Around the same time, two other dolphins died. The beach was closed, and officials promised to ensure good animal treatment. Studies have long shown that captive marine mammals are treated poorly. A major report noted that hundreds of dolphins have been used for entertainment in Mexico in recent decades. Many have signs of long-term stress, strange behaviors and diseases from being locked up. Science proves these smart animals can’t behave naturally in captivity. They can’t swim long distances like they do in the ocean, and they’re forced to interact with tourists repeatedly. Mexico has about 350 captive dolphins, making it one of the top 10 countries with such facilities. The new law is a big achievement. It means no more marine mammals can be in shows or “swim-with” programs. Forced multiplying in captivity is also banned. Dolphins already in captivity must get kind, lifelong care, and those in small concrete tanks must be moved to larger sea pens within 18 months. Additionally, the law stops the use of dolphins for therapy (治疗) or non-conservation research. With this decision, Mexico joins more countries ending or banning marine mammal captivity for entertainment. As one nonprofit director said, “Today is a historic moment. This is a step forward in moving the world away from animal abuse.” 12. What likely caused the Mexican government to pass the new law? A. Shortage of dolphins in the wild. B. Tourists’ decreasing desire for animal shows. C. Public concern over animal suffering. D. Requests from entertainment facilities. 13. What does Mexico’s new law specifically ban? A. Wild animals’ performances. B. Marine mammal shows. C. Animal abuse. D. Keeping animals away from displays. 14. What do we know about captive dolphins from the text? A. They adapt well to concrete tanks. B. They grow well in swim with programs. C. They prefer interacting with humans. D. They show signs of stress in displays. 15. What is implied about the global trend in the last paragraph? A. Mexico is the first to ban such shows. B. Animal abuse will be ended all over the world. C. Nonprofit directors benefit from national laws. D. More countries are rejecting marine mammal captivity. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了墨西哥立法禁止海洋哺乳动物表演的背景、内容和意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, a growing number of people now understand that these animals often suffer in captivity (囚禁).(然而，现在越来越多的人意识到，这些动物在被囚禁的情况下往往会遭受痛苦)”和第三段“Public opinion changed greatly because of some latest events. In early 2025, a video appeared showing a badly hurt dolphin from a beach’s show a few years earlier. Around the same time, two other dolphins died. The beach was closed, and officials promised to ensure good animal treatment.(由于一些最新事件，公众的看法发生了巨大变化。在2025年初，一段视频出现，视频中展示了一只几年前在海滩表演中受伤严重的海豚。与此同时，另外两只海豚也死亡了。该海滩被关闭，官员们承诺会确保对这些动物进行妥善的照顾)”可推知，公众对动物遭受痛苦的担忧是推动政府立法的主要原因，故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Mexican government has approved a nationwide ban on dolphin, seal, and whale performances.(墨西哥政府已批准在全国范围内禁止海豚、海豹和鲸鱼的表演活动)”可知，新法律明确禁止的是海豚、海豹和鲸鱼等海洋哺乳动物的表演，故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Many have signs of long-term stress, strange behaviors and diseases from being locked up.(许多海豚身上都有长期压力的迹象、异常行为以及因被关押而引发的疾病)”可知，被圈养的海豚表现出长期压力等迹象，故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With this decision, Mexico joins more countries ending or banning marine mammal captivity for entertainment.(通过这一决定，墨西哥加入了越来越多终止或禁止将海洋哺乳动物用于娱乐目的圈养的国家行列)”可推知，越来越多的国家正在拒绝为娱乐目的圈养海洋哺乳动物，故选D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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people care about the environment. But when it comes to taking action, many don’t know where to start. This phenomenon is called the intention-action gap. Studies show that although more than three-quarters of Americans are worried about plastic pollution, many feel unsure about how to help effectively. ____16____ New research suggests that taking action — not just talking — is key to building trust and a sense of community. When people work together to solve problems, they feel more capable and connected. ____17____ Hands-on activities, for instance, like cleaning up natural areas, have been shown to increase environmental awareness more effectively than passive learning alone. One good example is the Clean Earth Challenge, designed to encourage people to pick up litter and record what they collect. The initiative quickly grew through partnerships with major environmental groups and other companies. ____18____ That’s equal to keeping about 1.2 million pounds of waste out of waterways and ecosystems. Among those who took part, most of them said they felt more hopeful that they could make a difference, and over 90 percent felt proud to work there. ____19____ It aims to reach more people and create a culture of care. By offering clear, achievable actions, it turns big environmental worries into manageable tasks. For those who want to start a similar project, patterns and ideas are available online. This approach is especially useful for companies who want to involve employees in real sustainability work. In a world where many feel tired or anxious about the planet, the lesson is clear: start small, act together, and focus on what counts. ____20____ Instead, it’s about changing habits, one piece of litter at a time. A. The program continues to expand. B. How can they turn concern into action? C. In other words, participation really builds belief. D. What measures should be taken to handle the problem? E. Moving from caring to doing isn’t about changing minds. F. The challenge effectively transformed eco-anxiety into development. G. So far, volunteers have removed 11 million pieces of trash from nature. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这一篇说明文。介绍了如何将环保关切转化为行动，通过集体活动减少生态焦虑。 【16题详解】 上文“But when it comes to taking action, many don’t know where to start. (但当涉及到采取行动时，许多人不知道从哪里开始)”和“many feel unsure about how to help effectively. (许多人不确定如何有效地提供帮助)”提到人们关心环境但不知如何行动，B选项“他们如何将关切转化为行动？”提出问题，承接上文人们的困扰，引出下文的解决方法，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“When people work together to solve problems, they feel more capable and connected. (当人们共同解决问题时，会感觉更有能力、更有联结感)”说明行动的作用，下文“increase environmental awareness more effectively than passive learning alone (比被动学习更有效地提高环境意识)”进一步补充实践的效果。C选项“换句话说，参与确实能建立信念”是对上文“共同行动带来积极感受”的同义解释，衔接上下文，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 下文“That’s equal to keeping about 1.2 million pounds of waste out of waterways and ecosystems. (这相当于避免约120万磅垃圾进入水道和生态系统)”是对垃圾清理量的换算，G选项“到目前为止，志愿者已从自然中清理了1100万件垃圾”提供了具体的清理数据支撑，与下文的换算内容呼应，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“It aims to reach more people and create a culture of care. (它旨在覆盖更多人，创造关爱文化)”指出项目的拓展目标，A 选项“这个项目持续拓展”引出下文关于项目拓展的描述，符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 下文“Instead, it’s about changing habits, one piece of litter at a time. (相反，它是改变习惯，一次清理一件垃圾)”强调行动的核心是改变习惯而非其他，E选项“从关切到行动不是要改变想法”与下文的Instead形成转折，说明行动的核心不是改变想法而是改变习惯。此外，E选项里的“isn’t about”与空后的“Instead, it’s about”是关联性结构。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(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。 In 1991, a historic balloon flight over Mount Everest took place.

He woke up early, pulled on his clothes, ate a quick breakfast, and headed out. “I’m going to catch the biggest fish in the pond,” he whispered to himself. He walked over hills until he reached his familiar spot. After setting down his small cooler, and fishing pole, Arty noticed another boy fishing nearby. It was Clancy. Clancy kept glaring in Arty’s direction. “What are you staring at, Cootie-Boy?” Arty called out. Clancy stuck out his tongue and wrinkled his nose. “Well, I don’t know yet, Mr. Arty Smarty!” he shot back proudly. Arty didn’t reply. Instead, he threw his bait (鱼饵) into the water, pushed out his lower lip, and fixed his small eyes on the cord (鱼线). Suddenly, Clancy shouted, “Ah-ha! I’ve got a big one! Arty, help me if you’re strong enough!” Arty rushed over and pushed Clancy aside to grab the pole. But just as he started reeling (收线), the pole was pulled out of his hands. “It looks like Mr. Arty Smarty lost my bait!” Clancy laughed. Arty walked back to his spot, picked up his own pole, and settled in again. About forty minutes later, Clancy had three fish in his cooler. Arty had nothing. Annoyed, Arty reeled in his line only to find his bait was gone. Clancy laughed. “Arty can’t catch no fish!” “I’m not aiming for those little fish,” Arty shouted. The boys fell silent after that — until Clancy caught his fourth one. “Clancy, you got any lunch? I’m starving.” “Yeah, but you’ll get my sandwich dirty.” “No, I won’t. Look here.” Arty washed his hands in the shallow water. He glanced down at them — still a bit dirty — and quickly wiped them on his jeans, then his nose on his shirt. “Now can I have a bite?” Clancy stared at Arty’s face and stretched out his hands. “Just one bite.” Arty smiled, took the sandwich, and bit as much as he could. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在题卡的相应位置作答。 After handing it back, Arty sat fishing again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He carried the fish to his cooler, but it was too big to fit inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 After handing it back, Arty sat fishing again. Fueled by the bite of sandwich and a renewed stubbornness, Arty ignored Clancy’s continued success. His arms ached and the sun was hot, but he focused on his fishing cord, remembering his morning promise. Just as his patience was thinning, he felt a powerful pull. This was no small fish. Holding the pole tightly, he engaged in a fierce struggle, his muscles aching against the unseen force in the water. After an exhausting battle, he finally dragged a large fish up onto the bank, outweighing all of Clancy’s catches combined. He carried the fish to his cooler, but it was too big to fit inside. The catch wouldn’t fit, and Arty stared at it in puzzle. Seeing the dilemma, Clancy’s pride disappeared, replaced by awe, “Why not use my cooler?” he offered, his tone now friendly. Together, they managed to fit the fish by combining their containers. This cooperative act relieved the remaining tension. “That’s incredible,” Clancy admitted, and Arty said, “Thanks for the help and the lunch.” Shouldering their equipment, they walked home together, both satisfied with the day’s adventure. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了12岁的阿尔蒂一早去池塘钓鱼，想钓最大的鱼，却遇上了挑衅他的克兰西。克兰西先钓上几条小鱼并嘲笑阿尔蒂一无所获，还分给了阿尔蒂三明治。后来阿尔蒂凭借坚持钓上一条远超克兰西所有渔获的大鱼，二人合作装鱼，化解矛盾，结伴满意而归。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“交回来后，阿尔蒂又坐下来钓鱼了。”可知，第一段可描写阿尔蒂钓鱼的经过以及钓上来鱼。 ②由第二段首句内容“他把鱼拿到冷藏箱，但它太大了，放不进去。”可知，第二段可描写二人合作装鱼，化解矛盾，结伴满意而归。 2.续写线索：坐下钓鱼——鱼上钩——钓上鱼——拿到冷藏箱——合作装鱼——矛盾化解——满意而归 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想起：remember/recall ②疼痛：ache/hurt ③超过：outweigh/surpass 情绪类 ①顽强：stubbornness/perseverance ②紧张：tension/intensity 【点睛】[高分句型1] Holding the pole tightly, he engaged in a fierce struggle, his muscles aching against the unseen force in the water.（运用了现在分词Holding作状语） [高分句型2] Just as his patience was thinning, he felt a powerful pull.（运用了as引导状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

If I’m not writing, I’m posting online or volunteering with my friends. My friends joke that I’m always busy, but believe it or not. I’ve learned to slow down. Whenever I tell my friends how much I have going on, they’ll ask me if I’m “good busy”. I don’t think this is a good question, because I don’t view having a lot going on as good or bad. Society loves to label “busy”, whether it’s living a life full of exciting projects or feeling at a loss during a busy week. But whether we’re preoccupied with distracting things or focused on to-do lists, we should know that no type of “busy” is better than any other. Being busy often results in distraction and burnout because people don’t always feel the need to rest and may feel pressure to make the most of every minute. However, you don’t have to do everything all at once. And if you don’t complete your work, it doesn’t mean that your day isn’t productive or that you waste your time. No matter how we define “busy”, we should stop using “busy” as an identity. The pressure to overwork ourselves to stay “busy” doesn’t do us good. More importantly, we need to recognize that our focus on doing something might result from how others treated us earlier. Maybe a parent or grandparent praised us for “being productive”, so we started feeling pressure to never have any downtime. Once we unpack why we believe that we need to constantly be productive, we begin to heal our relationship with staying busy. Finally, ‘‘busy” is a neutral (中性的) concept. Being productive doesn’t make us more worthy than when we slow down. The next time you call yourself “busy”, think about why you’re using that word. 4 What is the author’s reaction towards his friends’ question? A. He disapproves of it. B. He finds it disturbing. C. He feels encouraged. D. He is unconcerned. 5. What does the author think of being busy? A. It is a sign of being successful. B. It has a positive effect on our daily life. C. It leads to some physical and mental problems. D. It helps people to live a life filled with excitement. 6. Which of the following is suggested by the author according to paragraph 4? A. Stopping keeping busy. B. Understanding the result of the pressure. C. Trying to keep productive and energetic. D. Recognizing the source of our busy lifestyles. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Calling Yourself Busy Harms Health B. The Reasons for Keeping Busy C. Busy Is a Central State D. The Value of High Productivity C Over 30% of food produced in the United States goes to waste, contributing significantly to CO2 emissions and costing the economy billions annually. As the third-largest contributor to foodservice-related food waste, hotels are increasingly taking action. Hilton, a global hotel leader, is applying lessons learned in Europe and Africa to reduce food waste across its operations. “We know hospitality accounts for about 3% of global food waste. Therefore, reducing waste is not only good for the planet, but it also supports business goals and attracts guests and employees who value sustainability.” said Emma Banks, Hilton’s vice president of food and drink strategy. Banks is instrumental in driving Hilton’s food sustainability agenda, overseeing food and drink operations across more than 70 countries. To tackle the issue, Hilton has maintained a long-standing partnership with Winnow, a commercial food waste solutions company, whose AI-powered system uses a camera, and screen to track and analyze food waste, generating data that kitchens can use to optimize their operations and minimize waste. Insights from Winnow have led to practical changes such as smaller buffet portions, cook-to-order stations, and reduced backup supplies. Hilton also takes cultural values into consideration. In cooperation with the United Nations Environment Program, the company launched a Green Ramadan program under the slogan (口号), “Halve the waste, double the blessings.” By changing how bread was served, one hotel in Dubai significantly reduced food waste. This success inspired the “Green Breakfast” program, which cut waste by over 60% at some locations. Chefs are also encouraged to create zero-waste dishes using thrown-away items — such as turning banana peels (皮) into baking powder. Looking forward, Hilton plans to expand its successful pilots into North America and the Asia-Pacific region. It recently became the first one to sign the U.S. Food Waste Pact, joining a growing national effort to reduce food waste across the country. Hilton’s joining represents a major milestone for the effort. Eventually, the Hilton hopes to inspire industry-wide change. 8. What does the underlined word “instrumental” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Sensitive. B. Permanent. C. Negative. D. Crucial. 9. Why was an AI-based system used in Hilton hotels? A. To keep an eye on the food ingredients. B. To guide operational efficiency and reduce waste. C. To remind chefs to support business goals. D. To show their valuing environmental protection. 10. What was the effect of the Green Ramadan program? A. It solved the problem of food waste in Dubai. B. It encouraged chefs to throw away items regularly. C It inspired a broader sustainability initiative. D. It was replaced by the Green Breakfast program. 11. What can we infer about Hilton from the last paragraph? A. It regards North America as an important market. B. It is positioned as an industry pioneer in sustainability. C. Its waste-reducing methods will be expanded worldwide. D. Its primary goal is to enlarge its business. D Many people love watching dolphins perform. However, a growing number of people now understand that these animals often suffer in captivity (囚禁). They believe these creatures belong in the wild, not in entertainment shows. This shift in public opinion has led to a major victory for animal welfare. The Mexican government has approved a nationwide ban on dolphin, seal, and whale performances. The new law will affect approximately 30 facilities that currently use marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) for shows. Mexico’s president prioritized this law to stop animal abuse and protect these creatures from life in captivity. Public opinion changed greatly because of some latest events. In early 2025, a video appeared showing a badly hurt dolphin from a beach’s show a few years earlier. Around the same time, two other dolphins died. The beach was closed, and officials promised to ensure good animal treatment. Studies have long shown that captive marine mammals are treated poorly. A major report noted that hundreds of dolphins have been used for entertainment in Mexico in recent decades. Many have signs of long-term stress, strange behaviors and diseases from being locked up. Science proves these smart animals can’t behave naturally in captivity. They can’t swim long distances like they do in the ocean, and they’re forced to interact with tourists repeatedly. Mexico has about 350 captive dolphins, making it one of the top 10 countries with such facilities. The new law is a big achievement. It means no more marine mammals can be in shows or “swim-with” programs. Forced multiplying in captivity is also banned. Dolphins already in captivity must get kind, lifelong care, and those in small concrete tanks must be moved to larger sea pens within 18 months. Additionally, the law stops the use of dolphins for therapy (治疗) or non-conservation research. With this decision Mexico joins more countries ending or banning marine mammal captivity for entertainment. As one nonprofit director said, “Today is a historic moment. This is a step forward in moving the world away from animal abuse.” 12. What likely caused the Mexican government to pass the new law? A. Shortage of dolphins in the wild. B.

He woke up early, pulled on his clothes, ate a quick breakfast, and headed out. “I’m going to catch the biggest fish in the pond,” he whispered to himself. He walked over hills until he reached his familiar spot. After setting down his small cooler, and fishing pole, Arty noticed another boy fishing nearby. It was Clancy. Clancy kept glaring in Arty’s direction. “What are you staring at, Cootie-Boy?” Arty called out. Clancy stuck out his tongue and wrinkled his nose. “Well, I don’t know yet, Mr. Arty Smarty!” he shot back proudly. Arty didn’t reply. Instead, he threw his bait (鱼饵) into the water, pushed out his lower lip, and fixed his small eyes on the cord (鱼线). Suddenly, Clancy shouted, “Ah-ha! I’ve got a big one! Arty, help me if you’re strong enough!” Arty rushed over and pushed Clancy aside to grab the pole. But just as he started reeling (收线), the pole was pulled out of his hands. “It looks like Mr. Arty Smarty lost my bait!” Clancy laughed. Arty walked back to his spot, picked up his own pole, and settled in again. About forty minutes later, Clancy had three fish in his cooler. Arty had nothing. Annoyed, Arty reeled in his line only to find his bait was gone. Clancy laughed. “Arty can’t catch no fish!” “I’m not aiming for those little fish,” Arty shouted. The boys fell silent after that — until Clancy caught his fourth one. “Clancy, you got any lunch? I’m starving.” “Yeah, but you’ll get my sandwich dirty.” “No, I won’t. Look here.” Arty washed his hands in the shallow water. He glanced down at them — still a bit dirty — and quickly wiped them on his jeans, then his nose on his shirt. “Now can I have a bite?” Clancy stared at Arty’s face and stretched out his hands. “Just one bite.” Arty smiled, took the sandwich, and bit as much as he could. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在题卡的相应位置作答。 After handing it back, Arty sat fishing again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He carried the fish to his cooler, but it was too big to fit inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
