As the inventor of the vital “Feynman Diagrams”, he took half-made conceptions (构想) of matter and energy in the 1940s and shaped them into simple tools that ordinary physicists could understand and calculate with very great precision. The Feynman method of thought was developed by a man who refused conventional wisdom at all turns and who sought to build his mental computer from the ground up, starting with an understanding of mathematics at a very young age. This was how Feynman approached all knowledge: It resulted in his famous quote, “You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool”. Feynman believed it and practiced it in all of his intellectual work. Richard Feynman was a legend, but his scientific genius alone would not have made the legend. It was also his style. He was intensely curious and highly original in all things. There are hundreds of “Feynman stories”, some told by Feynman himself in his popular book Surely You’re. Joking, Mr. Feynman!, and others passed along by word of mouth from one physicist to another. What we take from Feynman is an absolute pursuit of rationality (合理) and truth. Feynman would rather admit that he didn’t know something than believe in false knowledge. He declared: “I have limited intelligence and I use it in a particular direction.” With this “limited intelligence”, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga in 1965 for their work on quantum electrodynamics. He was apparently very reluctant (勉强) to accept the prize and was eager to remind people that just because someone held a position of authority, this was no indicator that he must be correct. As Feynman’s father taught him the scientific method, it was his mother whom he thanked for the other part of his personality that made him such an amazing character. “I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.” 4. What made Richard Feynman stand out in the field of physics? A. Inventing the Feynman Diagrams. B. Offering ordinary physicists funds. C. Getting supported by Michael Jordan. D. Taking advantage of conventional wisdom. 5. What kind of person was Richard Feynman according to the passage? A. A serious and humorless researcher. B. A truth-seeking and original scientist. C. A sensitive and self-centered physicist. D. A competitive and inflexible academic. 6. What influence did Richard Feynman’s mother have on him? A. She developed his scientific curiosity. B. She shared with him scientific methods. C. She pushed him for the academic honors. D. She shaped his good character and quality. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain Feynman’s quantum theory. B. To promote Feynman’s published works. C. To show Feynman’s life and contributions. D. To introduce Feynman’s physics education. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记，主要介绍了著名物理学家理查德·费曼（Richard Feynman）的生平成就与个人特质。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As the inventor of the vital “Feynman Diagrams”, he took half-made conceptions (构想) of matter and energy in the 1940s and shaped them into simple tools that ordinary physicists could understand and calculate with very great precision.(作为关键的“费曼图”的发明者，他在20世纪40年代将关于物质和能量的初步构想，转化为普通物理学家能够理解并高精度计算的简单工具。)”可知，费曼在物理学领域脱颖而出的核心原因是发明了“费曼图”。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The Feynman method of thought was developed by a man who refused conventional wisdom at all turns and who sought to build his mental computer from the ground up, starting with an understanding of mathematics at a very young age.(费曼思维法由这样一位智者所创：他始终摒弃传统思维定式，执意从零构建自己的思维体系 —— 自幼便从数学认知起步，一步步搭建起专属的 “心智运算框架”)”、第三段中的“He was intensely curious and highly original in all things.(他对一切事物都充满好奇心，且极具独创性)”以及第四段中的“What we take from Feynman is an absolute pursuit of rationality (合理) and truth. Feynman would rather admit that he didn’t know something than believe in false knowledge.(我们从费曼身上学到的，是对理性与真理的极致追求。费曼宁愿承认自己对某件事一无所知，也不愿轻信虚假的知识)”可知，费曼是一位追求真理、极具独创性的科学家。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As Feynman’s father taught him the scientific method, it was his mother whom he thanked for the other part of his personality that made him such an amazing character. “I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.(费曼的父亲教会了他科学方法，而他性格中另一半让他成为如此了不起的特质，则要归功于母亲。“我从她那里学到，我们所能达到的最高层次的理解，是欢笑与人类的同情心”)”可知，费曼的母亲影响了他的性格与品质。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段介绍费曼的核心科学成就（发明费曼图），第二段阐述其思维方式，第三段强调其个人风格与传奇性，第四段讲述他对真理的追求与诺贝尔奖荣誉，最后一段提及父母对他的影响。所以短文的目的是展示费曼的生平经历与贡献。故选C项。 C The Qatari desert has become an unexpected canvas for unique art installations (布置) by Olafur Eliasson, an Icelandic-Danish artist. Eliasson’s artwork, called Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day, consists of 20 large round shelters, three single rings and two double rings arranged in a symmetrical (对称的) pattern. While the mirror ceilings playfully blend (混和) the boundaries between the sandy ground and the vast sky, these shapes blend naturally with the horizon, creating ever-changing landscapes with sunlight and shadows. Eliasson, who lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin, says he was drawn to this remote corner of Qatar due to its surprising similarities to his homeland of Iceland. He finds the desert without human habitation is full of life, and he is attracted by the landscape there. Eliasson’s artwork is designed to draw people in, encouraging them to think about the surroundings carefully. From a distance, the mirrored undersides of the shelters and rings create a shimmering (闪烁的) effect on the horizon, while up close, they create an environment that reflects the land and the viewer within the landscape. Through his artwork, Eliasson aims to amplify human movements, creating a sense of passing time and offering space for self-reflection and shared experiences across different communities and cultures. Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day seeks to inspire people to reflect on rebuilding relationships with the planet and explore different ways of caring for the Earth. The artist believes that art should play a key role in addressing the climate crisis by offering specific experiences and opportunities for self-reflection, developing connections and understanding across different communities. He also created drawing machines in the desert, using the intense light of the sun and the motion of the wind to make marks on pieces of paper and canvas. You might say that they quite literally, although in a different, artistic way, use two of the most important alternative, renewable energy sources for building a carbon-free future: wind and solar. 8. What does Eliasson’s artwork impress us most? A Shelters are closely attached to rings. B. Artificial shapes mix well with nature. C. The Qatari desert has great landscapes. D. Strong sunlight makes shelters moving. 9. What drew Olafur Eliasson to the desert? A. The deep love for Iceland. B. The global climate crisis. C. The undeveloped ecology. D. The rich natural resources. 10. What does the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Transform greatly. B. Take the place of. C. Consider carefully. D. Increase the effect of. 11. Why does Olafur Eliasson create the artwork in the desert? A. To boost tourism in the Qatari desert. B. To generate more alternative energy. C. To enhance environmental awareness. D. To develop potential artistic talents. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了艺术家埃利亚松在卡塔尔沙漠的装置艺术及其创作理念与意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Eliasson’s artwork, called Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day, consists of 20 large round shelters, three single rings and two double rings arranged in a symmetrical (对称的) pattern. While the mirror ceilings playfully blend (混和) the boundaries between the sandy ground and the vast sky, these shapes blend naturally with the horizon, creating ever-changing landscapes with sunlight and shadows(埃利亚松的这件作品名为《Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day》，由20座大型圆形庇护所、3个单环与2个双环构成，整体呈对称排布。镜面穹顶巧妙地模糊了沙地与辽阔天空的界限，而这些造型又与地平线自然相融，借由阳光与阴影营造出变幻无穷的景致。)”可知，埃利亚松的作品最令人印象深刻的是“人造造型与自然环境的完美融合”。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Eliasson, who lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin, says he was drawn to this remote corner of Qatar due to its surprising similarities to his homeland of Iceland. He finds the desert without human habitation is full of life, and he is attracted by the landscape there.(埃利亚松定居并工作于哥本哈根与柏林，他表示自己被卡塔尔这片偏远之地吸引，源于其与故土冰岛惊人的相似之处。他发现这片无人栖息的沙漠充满生命力，而当地的景致也深深吸引着他。)”可知，“无人居住”意味着沙漠的生态未被人类过度开发，保持着原始自然的状态，这正是吸引埃利亚松的核心原因。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“From a distance, the mirrored undersides of the shelters and rings create a shimmering(闪烁的) effect on the horizon, while up close, they create an environment that reflects the land and the viewer within the landscape.(从远处看，庇护所和圆环的镜面底部在地平线上形成闪烁的效果；而近距离观赏时，它们营造出一种能映照出大地和景致中观赏者的环境。)”以及划线词后文“creating a sense of passing time and offering space for self-reflection(营造出时光流逝之感，并为自我反思提供空间)”可知，作品通过“映照环境与观赏者”，让人类的动作在这样的环境中更易被感知，进而放大其影响，实现“引发思考、感受时光”的效果。因此“amplify”应意为“增强……的效果、放大”，与选项D“Increase the effect of.(增加效果)”语义一致。选项A（极大转变）、B（取代）、C（仔细考虑）均不符合语境。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day seeks to inspire people to reflect on rebuilding relationships with the planet and explore different ways of caring for the Earth.(《Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day》旨在激励人们思考如何与地球重建关系，探索呵护地球的不同方式。)”可知，埃利亚松在沙漠创作这件艺术品的目的是启发人们反思与地球的关系，提升大家的环保意识。故选C项。 D On Earth Day — April 22 — the XPrize Foundation, which holds contests that encourage people to come up with new ideas to solve big problems, announced the winners of its Carbon Removal contest. A company called Mati Carbon won the $50 million prize. Their method is simple, but it could remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide and also help farmers grow more food. The company uses a very common kind of volcanic rock called basalt. Basalt is used worldwide to construct roads and buildings. Companies that break up the basalt often have a fine powder of basalt left over that they can’t use. Luckily, this is exactly what Mati Carbon needs. The company removes carbon by spreading this rock powder on farm fields. The powder pulls CO2 out of the water in the soil and stores it in a way that will last for thousands of years. Mati’s method of carbon removal is called “enhanced rock weathering”. The results aren’t just good for the environment — they’re also good for the farmers. Farmers who use the basalt powder on their fields grow roughly 25% more food. In areas with poor soil, farmers can grow as much as 70% more. Mati Carbon is already spreading basalt powder on farms in several countries, including India, Tanzania, and Zambia. The company is focused on working with small farmers in poorer countries, putting the powder on their farmlands for free. To pay for this, the company sells “carbon credits”. Since Mati Carbon is removing pollution, large companies that create pollution buy credits to “offset” their pollution so they can be “carbon neutral”. One of the things that impressed the XPrize judges is how the company carefully tracks and records the impact it is having. So far, Mati Carbon has removed over 1,000 metric tons of CO2. But the company believes that number will grow rapidly. It is planning to begin work in three more countries soon and allow other companies to use its methods to reach even more areas. 12. What is the material used by the winning company? A. Construction waste. B. Rare volcanic ashes. C. Industrial product. D. Farm carbon dioxide. 13 Which words best describe Mati Carbon? A. Newly-built and conserved. B. Far-sighted and aggressive. C. Profit-driven and successful. D. Eco-minded and sympathetic. 14. What can we learn about Mati Carbon according to the last paragraph? A. It has expanded its business across the world. B. It has developed more methods to remove CO2. C. It intends to share its patent with other companies. D. It plans to invite XPrize judges to track its impact. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Joint Effort Pays off in Breaking up the Basalt B. Great Chance Exists in the Green Agriculture C. Mati Carbon Has More Carbon Credits to Sell D. Powerful Idea Wins Carbon Removal XPrize 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在地球日当天，XPrize基金会宣布了碳去除竞赛的获胜者——Mati Carbon公司，该公司利用一种常见火山岩粉末去除二氧化碳并帮助农民增产，还详细介绍了其方法、成果及未来计划。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The company uses a very common kind of volcanic rock called basalt. Basalt is used worldwide to construct roads and buildings. Companies that break up the basalt often have a fine powder of basalt left over that they can’t use.(该公司使用一种非常常见的火山岩，称为玄武岩。玄武岩在世界各地被用于建造道路和建筑物。分解玄武岩的公司通常会有无法使用的玄武岩细粉剩余。)”可知，获奖公司使用的材料是建筑垃圾。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The powder pulls CO2 out of the water in the soil and stores it in a way that will last for thousands of years.(这种粉末从土壤中的水中吸收二氧化碳，并以一种可以持续数千年的方式储存起来。)”可知，该公司具有环保意识；根据第四段“The company is focused on working with small farmers in poorer countries, putting the powder on their farmlands for free.(该公司专注于与较贫穷国家的小农合作，免费将粉末撒在他们的农田上。)”可知，该公司具有同情心，由此可知，有环保意识的和有同情心的最能描述Mati Carbon公司。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is planning to begin work in three more countries soon and allow other companies to use its methods to reach even more areas.(该公司计划很快在另外三个国家开展工作，并允许其他公司使用其方法，以覆盖更多的地区。)”可知，Mati Carbon公司打算与其他公司分享其专利。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“On Earth Day — April 22 — the XPrize Foundation, which holds contests that encourage people to come up with new ideas to solve big problems, announced the winners of its Carbon Removal contest. A company called Mati Carbon won the $50 million prize. Their method is simple, but it could remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide and also help farmers grow more food.(在4月22日地球日当天，XPrize基金会宣布了其碳去除竞赛的获胜者。XPrize基金会举办竞赛，鼓励人们提出解决重大问题的新想法。一家名为Mati Carbon的公司赢得了5000万美元的奖金。他们的方法很简单，但可以去除大量的二氧化碳，还可以帮助农民种植更多的粮食。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了Mati Carbon公司凭借其强大的创意赢得了碳去除XPrize奖，所以选项D最适合作为这篇文章的最佳标题。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。 Leadership communication is how leaders inform and inspire others.

In my view, the “English Drama Club” would be an excellent choice as it meets our needs in several ways. To begin with, performing English dramas can help us improve our English in a more vivid way. Through role-playing different characters, students can practice pronunciation and everyday expressions in engaging, real-life contexts. This method moves beyond traditional learning, making language acquisition both practical and enjoyable. Besides, practising dramas requires cooperation between members. It fosters essential skills such as teamwork, creative problem-solving, and public speaking confidence — assets that extend far beyond the language classroom. I am convinced that the Drama Club would not only enhance our proficiency but also cultivate a vibrant, collaborative community. I truly hope my suggestion can be taken into consideration. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。学校要开设一个英语社团，外教Jenny提出“English Singing Club”和“English Drama Club”两个选项供大家选择。请给Jenny写一封邮件，说明你的选择和理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累： 极好的：excellent→outstanding 选择：choice→selection 传统的：traditional→conventional 培养：foster→cultivate 2.句式拓展： 同义句 原句：Through role-playing different characters, students can practice pronunciation and everyday expressions in engaging, real-life contexts. 拓展句：When students are acting out different characters, they can practice pronunciation and everyday expressions in interesting, real-life contexts. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】 I am convinced that the Drama Club would not only enhance our proficiency but also cultivate a vibrant, collaborative community.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】 It fosters essential skills such as teamwork, creative problem-solving, and public speaking confidence — assets that extend far beyond the language classroom.（运用that引导的定语从句） 第二节  (满分25分) 47. 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。 There is a busy street corner beside a bus station where kids change buses going to and from school. It’s not what you would call a pretty spot. There’s a lot of noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小地块) of beauty — a small garden plot called Pete’s Patch, because Pete created it in nine and a half minutes. Pete is one of the kids who, for nine and a half minutes each day, waited here to change buses. It wasn’t a fun or pleasant place to hang out. The station was noisy and full of bad smell. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch of land next to the station was littered with trash. Maybe it had once been a garden, but now it was disgusting. Kids and adults had thrown their empty drink cans there, along with burger wrappings and fried-chicken boxes. No, it wasn’t a nice spot to spend nine and a half minutes of every school day when all you wanted to do was get home. But Pete was here. He didn’t have a choice. If he wanted to get home, this was the only way. He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to occupy his mind or hands, and hanging around like that each day drove him crazy. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but, he began to think, he might be able to make his nine and a half minutes more enjoyable for him and others. He asked Mom for some plastic trash bags and a pair of gardening gloves. That week, he put on the gloves and filled his nine and a half minutes each day by piling the trash into the bags. “Hey, man, are you crazy or something?” his schoolmates teased. “What difference will it make? Why waste your time?” They didn’t know that for Pete it was a bigger waste of time to sit doing nothing. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Pete simply smiled and continued picking up the trash, ignoring the teasing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, his classmates followed Pete’s example. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Pete simply smiled and continued picking up the trash, ignoring the teasing. Each day, he arrived a little earlier to make the most of his nine and a half minutes. He sorted the trash into different bags and on the weekend he collected the bags and took them to the dump. With his great efforts, the once-disgusting patch started to look cleaner. Seeing the great change, the schoolmates who laughed at him shifted their attitude towards Pete’s behavior. Pete felt happy and proud for he was making the waiting time more pleasant. Gradually, his classmates followed Pete’s example. A girl named Lily brought a watering can. Then two boys started pulling weeds. Within weeks, as more students joined Pete, their boring waiting time became a gardening party. Some even bought flower seeds and carefully sowed them in the patch. The empty patch transformed into a colorful mini-garden. When spring came, the patch was covered with bright flowers that turned their nine-and-a-half-minute wait into the best part of everyone’s day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在公交站旁脏乱的换乘角落，学生皮特为打发每日9分半钟的等车时间，带头清理垃圾。起初遭同学嘲笑，但他坚持行动，逐渐带动同学参与，众人一起除草、播种，将垃圾地变成了缤纷小花园，让原本难熬的等车时光成了每日最惬意的时刻。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“皮特只是微微一笑，继续捡起垃圾，对那些嘲笑他的话置之不理”可知，第一段可描写皮特坚持行动，逐渐带动同学参与。 ②由第二段首句内容“渐渐地，他的同学们也效仿了皮特的做法”可知，第二段可描写众人一起除草、播种，将垃圾地变成了缤纷小花园，让原本难熬的等车时光成了每日最惬意的时刻。 2.续写线索：皮特不理会嘲笑——逐渐带动同学——一起清理垃圾——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：arrive/reach ②利用：make the most of/take advantage of ③分类：sort into/classify 情绪类 ①无聊的：boring/dull ②高兴：happy/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing the great change, the schoolmates who laughed at him shifted their attitude towards Pete’s behavior.（运用了who引导定语从句） [高分句型2] When spring came, the patch was covered with bright flowers that turned their nine-and-a-half-minute wait into the best part of everyone’s day.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省南通市2026届高三上学期期中考试英语试题 November, 2025 考生注意： 1.本试卷共10页，包含听力(共30分)、阅读(共50分)、语言运用(共30分)、写作(共40分)四部分。本次考试满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 3.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 5.考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 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纸上。 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?

As the inventor of the vital “Feynman Diagrams”, he took half-made conceptions (构想) of matter and energy in the 1940s and shaped them into simple tools that ordinary physicists could understand and calculate with very great precision. The Feynman method of thought was developed by a man who refused conventional wisdom at all turns and who sought to build his mental computer from the ground up, starting with an understanding of mathematics at a very young age. This was how Feynman approached all knowledge: It resulted in his famous quote, “You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool”. Feynman believed it and practiced it in all of his intellectual work. Richard Feynman was a legend, but his scientific genius alone would not have made the legend. It was also his style. He was intensely curious and highly original in all things. There are hundreds of “Feynman stories”, some told by Feynman himself in his popular book Surely You’re. Joking, Mr. Feynman!, and others passed along by word of mouth from one physicist to another. What we take from Feynman is an absolute pursuit of rationality (合理) and truth. Feynman would rather admit that he didn’t know something than believe in false knowledge. He declared: “I have limited intelligence and I use it in a particular direction.” With this “limited intelligence”, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga in 1965 for their work on quantum electrodynamics. He was apparently very reluctant (勉强) to accept the prize and was eager to remind people that just because someone held a position of authority, this was no indicator that he must be correct. As Feynman’s father taught him the scientific method, it was his mother whom he thanked for the other part of his personality that made him such an amazing character. “I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.” 4. What made Richard Feynman stand out in the field of physics? A. Inventing the Feynman Diagrams. B. Offering ordinary physicists funds. C. Getting supported by Michael Jordan. D. Taking advantage of conventional wisdom. 5. What kind of person was Richard Feynman according to the passage? A. A serious and humorless researcher. B. A truth-seeking and original scientist. C. A sensitive and self-centered physicist. D. A competitive and inflexible academic. 6. What influence did Richard Feynman’s mother have on him? A. She developed his scientific curiosity. B. She shared with him scientific methods. C. She pushed him for the academic honors. D. She shaped his good character and quality. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain Feynman’s quantum theory. B. To promote Feynman’s published works. C. To show Feynman’s life and contributions. D. To introduce Feynman’s physics education. C The Qatari desert has become an unexpected canvas for unique art installations (布置) by Olafur Eliasson, an Icelandic-Danish artist. Eliasson’s artwork, called Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day, consists of 20 large round shelters, three single rings and two double rings arranged in a symmetrical (对称的) pattern. While the mirror ceilings playfully blend (混和) the boundaries between the sandy ground and the vast sky, these shapes blend naturally with the horizon, creating ever-changing landscapes with sunlight and shadows. Eliasson, who lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin, says he was drawn to this remote corner of Qatar due to its surprising similarities to his homeland of Iceland. He finds the desert without human habitation is full of life, and he is attracted by the landscape there. Eliasson’s artwork is designed to draw people in, encouraging them to think about the surroundings carefully. From a distance, the mirrored undersides of the shelters and rings create a shimmering (闪烁的) effect on the horizon, while up close, they create an environment that reflects the land and the viewer within the landscape. Through his artwork, Eliasson aims to amplify human movements, creating a sense of passing time and offering space for self-reflection and shared experiences across different communities and cultures. Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day seeks to inspire people to reflect on rebuilding relationships with the planet and explore different ways of caring for the Earth. The artist believes that art should play a key role in addressing the climate crisis by offering specific experiences and opportunities for self-reflection, developing connections and understanding across different communities. He also created drawing machines in the desert, using the intense light of the sun and the motion of the wind to make marks on pieces of paper and canvas. You might say that they quite literally, although in a different, artistic way, use two of the most important alternative, renewable energy sources for building a carbon-free future: wind and solar. 8. What does Eliasson’s artwork impress us most? A. Shelters are closely attached to rings. B. Artificial shapes mix well with nature. C. The Qatari desert has great landscapes. D. Strong sunlight makes shelters moving. 9. What drew Olafur Eliasson to the desert? A. The deep love for Iceland. B. The global climate crisis. C. The undeveloped ecology. D. The rich natural resources. 10. What does the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Transform greatly. B. Take the place of. C. Consider carefully. D. Increase the effect of. 11. Why does Olafur Eliasson create the artwork in the desert? A. To boost tourism in the Qatari desert. B. To generate more alternative energy. C. To enhance environmental awareness. D. To develop potential artistic talents. D On Earth Day — April 22 — the XPrize Foundation, which holds contests that encourage people to come up with new ideas to solve big problems, announced the winners of its Carbon Removal contest. A company called Mati Carbon won the $50 million prize. Their method is simple, but it could remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide and also help farmers grow more food. The company uses a very common kind of volcanic rock called basalt. Basalt is used worldwide to construct roads and buildings. Companies that break up the basalt often have a fine powder of basalt left over that they can’t use. Luckily, this is exactly what Mati Carbon needs. The company removes carbon by spreading this rock powder on farm fields. The powder pulls CO2 out of the water in the soil and stores it in a way that will last for thousands of years. Mati’s method of carbon removal is called “enhanced rock weathering”. The results aren’t just good for the environment — they’re also good for the farmers. Farmers who use the basalt powder on their fields grow roughly 25% more food. In areas with poor soil, farmers can grow as much as 70% more. Mati Carbon is already spreading basalt powder on farms in several countries, including India, Tanzania, and Zambia. The company is focused on working with small farmers in poorer countries, putting the powder on their farmlands for free. To pay for this, the company sells “carbon credits”. Since Mati Carbon is removing pollution, large companies that create pollution buy credits to “offset” their pollution so they can be “carbon neutral”. One of the things that impressed the XPrize judges is how the company carefully tracks and records the impact it is having. So far, Mati Carbon has removed over 1,000 metric tons of CO2. But the company believes that number will grow rapidly. It is planning to begin work in three more countries soon and allow other companies to use its methods to reach even more areas. 12. What is the material used by the winning company? A. Construction waste. B. Rare volcanic ashes. C. Industrial product. D. Farm carbon dioxide. 13. Which words best describe Mati Carbon? A. Newly-built and conserved. B. Far-sighted and aggressive. C. Profit-driven and successful. D. Eco-minded and sympathetic. 14. What can we learn about Mati Carbon according to the last paragraph? A. It has expanded its business across the world. B. It has developed more methods to remove CO2. C. It intends to share its patent with other companies. D. It plans to invite XPrize judges to track its impact. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Joint Effort Pays off in Breaking up the Basalt B. Great Chance Exists in the Green Agriculture C. Mati Carbon Has More Carbon Credits to Sell D.

It’s not what you would call a pretty spot. There’s a lot of noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小地块) of beauty — a small garden plot called Pete’s Patch, because Pete created it in nine and a half minutes. Pete is one of the kids who, for nine and a half minutes each day, waited here to change buses. It wasn’t a fun or pleasant place to hang out. The station was noisy and full of bad smell. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch of land next to the station was littered with trash. Maybe it had once been a garden, but now it was disgusting. Kids and adults had thrown their empty drink cans there, along with burger wrappings and fried-chicken boxes. No, it wasn’t a nice spot to spend nine and a half minutes of every school day when all you wanted to do was get home. But Pete was here. He didn’t have a choice. If he wanted to get home, this was the only way. He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to occupy his mind or hands, and hanging around like that each day drove him crazy. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but, he began to think, he might be able to make his nine and a half minutes more enjoyable for him and others. He asked Mom for some plastic trash bags and a pair of gardening gloves. That week, he put on the gloves and filled his nine and a half minutes each day by piling the trash into the bags. “Hey, man, are you crazy or something?” his schoolmates teased. “What difference will it make? Why waste your time?” They didn’t know that for Pete it was a bigger waste of time to sit doing nothing. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Pete simply smiled and continued picking up the trash, ignoring the teasing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, his classmates followed Pete’s example. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
