M: No, how can that be?
W: I don’t know. You know me better than anyone else here at school. I thought maybe you could give me some advice?
M: Sure. Um, do you belong to any clubs or organizations? That’s the best way to meet people.
W: No, I don’t have a lot of time to go to meetings.
M: Neither do I, but I do play school sports. It’s just a group that meets regularly to play basketball. Of course, there are lots of other teams. You could join a football team or baseball, volleyball... Just go over to the sports center and sign up. They will put you on a team. You could use some time away from the books.
W: I’d like to do that. But I don’t want to take time away from my studies.
M: Well, then why don’t you join a study group? That way you wouldn’t feel like you are wasting time, and besides, the people you meet will be serious students. So maybe they would be better friends for you.
W: Anyway, this sounds good.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: Well, I’d like to share with you my childhood experience. When I was a child, I used to look forward to Saturday mornings. That was when my brother Bernard and I got our pocket money from our father. I would put half of it in my money box and run off happily with the rest to Bartlett’s, the little local shop at the end of our street. There I would join the other boys and girls eager to spend their Saturday pocket money. All Mrs. Bartlett had were a few things, arranged on a simple wooden shelf, which she kept under the counter and brought out for the children on Saturday. But to us it was a wonderful sight: sugar balls, sweets in brightly coloured paper. It always took ages for each child to decide what to buy, but Mrs. Bartlett didn’t mind. As long as there were no grown-up customers waiting to be served, she let us take our time. Bernard liked sweets. The problem was that he didn’t like buying them. He went to the newsagent’s shop that sold football cards. He was mad about these picture cards of famous footballers and spent all his pocket money trying to collect whole teams of players. On Saturday afternoons he would search the house and find out where I was. If I didn’t hide my bag of sweets quickly enough, he’d see it and say, “Can I have one?” And I would say, “Why should I give you one? You had your pocket money too. You could have bought your own sweets.” Then Bernard would go to our mother to complain. Mum would say, “Jim, don’t be so mean. Share your sweets with your brother.” I thought this was really unfair, but I had no choice.

Most people celebrate their 80th birthday with cake and candles. Betty Kellenberger celebrated hers by making history.
The Michigan native recently became the oldest woman ever to hike the entire Appalachian Trail — a surprising 2,200-mile difficult walk that stretches across 14 states, with climbs and descents equal to climbing Mount Everest 16 times. “You see incredible parts of our country, things that you wouldn’t see otherwise,” said Kellenberger. “So much wildlife. It’s just beautiful.”
Kellenberger grew up on a farm in Howell, where her fascination with the famous footpath began. For years, she dreamed about hiking the trail from Georgia to Maine, but life never allowed for the six-month commitment it required. Eventually, she realized that nothing was holding her back — so in 2024, she took her first steps on what would become the adventure of a lifetime.
The journey wasn’t easy. Along the way, Kellenberger faced dehydration (脱水), falls, and even disease. It was also interrupted by Hurricane Helene, which tore through the eastern United States and forced her to pause at the southern Virginia border. Determined to finish, she rerouted north and continued in the spring of 2025, braving New England’s rocky terrain until the very end.
When she finally reached the end of the trail, the emotions hit hard. “So you’re a basket case,” she laughed. “You have so many emotions because you’re excited about finishing. I was really looking forward to saying, ‘I am done.’ But you also know you’re going to miss this big time. You’re not going to have what you have out on that trail. That peace, the tranquility.”
She described Maine and New Hampshire as the toughest stretches — but also the most rewarding. Now, after months of hiking through rain, heat, and hardship, Kellenberger says she’s in the best shape of her life.
24. What history did 80-year-old Kellenberger make?
A. She lived as long a life as 80 years. B. She spent a lifetime exploring.
C. She climbed Mount Everest all alone. D. She made a long tough journey.
25. What does the third paragraph indicate?
A. The hiking was her long-held dream. B. She was a natural sports enthusiast.
C Her celebration was one like no other. D. Her difficult life killed her pursuit.
26. What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A. Her success was incomparable. B. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
C. The experience blew her away. D. She hadn’t expected the outcome.
27. Which word best describes Kellenberger from her episode?
A. Self-centered. B. Emotional. C. Long-lived. D. Adventurous.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】

(C)
For decades, environmental science focused on identifying isolated (孤立的) problems and their direct fixes. However, a significant shift is now defining the field: researchers are moving from a linear (线性的) view to understanding the Earth as a complex, interconnected system. This new fundamental change reveals that well-intentioned actions can have unintended consequences, making the path to sustainability far more nuanced (复杂).
The most convincing evidence for this shift comes from research on climate feedback loops. For instance, scientists have discovered that as we successfully reduce air pollution, we also decrease the reflective aerosols (气溶胶) that once subtly cooled the planet. This “unmasking” effect accelerates warming, revealing the full force of greenhouse gases. Similarly, the alarming melt of permafrost (永冻土) is not just a sign of warming; it is a powerful driver, releasing vast stores of methane and carbon dioxide in a self-reinforcing cycle.
This systemic thinking extends to proposed solutions. The concept of planting trees as a simple carbon sink is now examined carefully. Research shows that large-scale afforestation in the wrong locations can reduce the Earth’s reflectivity, absorb more heat, and disturb local water cycles, potentially negating the carbon benefits. The focus has therefore switched to ecosystem-specific restoration and a comprehensive management of natural carbon stocks.
Ultimately, the central insight of modern environmental research is that there are no silver bullets. The challenge is no longer just about inventing cleaner technologies but about managing complex systems. The new frontier is understanding these interconnections to design resilient strategies that work with the planet’s systems, not against them.
28. What do the examples in paragraph 2 serve as?
A. The consequences caused. B. The likelihood of the change.
C. The solid proof of the shift. D. The prospect of sustainability.
29. What should solutions to natural carbon stocks be based on?
A. Precise locations. B. Systemic thinking.
C. Local water cycles. D. Greenhouse gases.
30. What does the author mean by saying “no silver bullets”?
A. The situation is worsening. B. It is a challenge like never before.
C. There is no single solution. D. Research work is far from perfect.
31. What is the most suitable title for the article?
A. A Harmonious Eco-system is Yet to Arrive
B. From Simple Solutions to Systemic Thinking
C. Sustainable Development is Finally in Sight
D. One-size-fits-all Approaches are Here to Stay
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是环境科学正经历重大转变,从关注孤立问题及其直接解决方案的线性思维,转向将地球视为复杂互联系统的系统性思维。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The most convincing evidence for this shift comes from research on climate feedback loops. For instance, scientists have discovered that as we successfully reduce air pollution, we also decrease the reflective aerosols (气溶胶) that once subtly cooled the planet.(支持这一转变的最有力证据来自对气候反馈循环的研究。例如,科学家发现,当我们成功减少空气污染时,也同时减少了那些曾微妙地使地球降温的反射性气溶胶。)”可知,本段中的例子是这一转变的有力证据。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This systemic thinking extends to proposed solutions.(这种系统的思考延伸到提出的解决方案。)”和“The focus has therefore switched to ecosystem-specific restoration and a comprehensive management of natural carbon stocks.(因此,重点已转向针对生态系统的恢复和对天然碳储量的综合管理。)”可知,针对自然碳储量的解决方案应该基于系统性思维。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“The challenge is no longer just about inventing cleaner technologies but about managing complex systems.(如今的挑战不再仅仅是发明更清洁的技术,而是要管理复杂的系统。)”可知,挑战不仅是发明清洁技术,而是“管理复杂系统”,所以no silver bullets的意思是“没有单一的解决办法”。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“For decades, environmental science focused on identifying isolated (孤立的) problems and their direct fixes. However, a significant shift is now defining the field: researchers are moving from a linear (线性的) view to understanding the Earth as a complex, interconnected system.(几十年来,环境科学一直专注于识别孤立的问题并寻求直接解决方案。然而,如今该领域正发生重大转变:研究人员正从线性视角转向将地球视为一个复杂且相互关联的系统来加以理解。)”可知,本文主要讲的是环境科学正经历重大转变,从关注孤立问题及其直接解决方案的线性思维,转向将地球视为复杂互联系统的系统性思维,因此最好的标题是B选项“From Simple Solutions to Systemic Thinking(从简单解决方案到系统思考)”。故选B。
(D)
According to a new study, men around the world have gained height and weight twice as fast as women over the past century, driving greater differences between the sexes.
“We’re seeing insights into how sexual selection has shaped the male and female body and how improved environments, in terms of food and a lower burden of disease, have freed us from our shackles (束缚),” said Prof Lewis Halsey at the University of Roehampton.
Halsey and his colleagues used data from the World Health Organization, overseas authorities and UK records to see how height and weight have changed with living conditions. The latter was measured by the human development index (HDI), a score based on life expectancy, time in education and per capita income, which ranges from zero to one.
Analysis of records from dozens of countries found that for every 0.2 point increase in HDI, women were on average 1.7cm taller and 2.7kg heavier, while men were 4cm taller and 6.5kg heavier. This suggests that as living conditions improve, both height and weight increase, but more than twice as fast in men than women.
Writing in Biology Letters in a study titled “The sexy and powerful male body: men’s height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits (特性)”, the scientists suppose that women’s sexual preferences may have fuelled a trend for taller, more muscular men who are believed to be better able to defend their partners and offspring against others.
The findings build on previous work that found women want taller men more than men want shorter women. But, while taller people tend to earn more, they are also more likely to develop various cancers, possibly because they have more cells that can accumulate mutations (突变) which lead to the disease.
Michael Wilson, professor of ecology, evolution and behaviour at the University of Minnesota, said the faster increase in male height and weight was “striking”. He said it was consistent with a long-standing idea that females are “the more ecologically restricted” sex because of the demands of reproduction, particularly in mammals (哺乳动物) where generating and nursing are “energetically expensive”.
32. What differences between the sexes do the findings involve?
A. Nutrition and health. B. Height and weight.
C. Schooling and income. D. Gender and growth.
33. What did the study focus on?
A. The contributors to the increase. B. The approach to the phenomenon.
C. The consequences of the change. D. The trend of human development.
34. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 6?
A. The benefits of growing athletic. B. The preferences for partners.
C. The causes of developing cancer. D. The downsides of being tall.
35. Why is the increase in female height and weight less striking?
A. Women prioritize health over height. B. Women’s biological role dominates it.
C Males tend to choose shorter women. D. They fall victim to some wrong ideas.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了新研究表明,过去百年男性身高体重增速为女性两倍,或与性选择及生活条件改善有关,高个子有优势但也更易患癌。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a new study, men around the world have gained height and weight twice as fast as women over the past century, driving greater differences between the sexes.(一项新的研究表明,在过去的一个世纪里,世界各地的男性身高和体重的增长速度是女性的两倍,这进一步拉大了男女之间的身高和体重差异)”可知,这些研究结果揭示了男女之间的身高与体重差异。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Writing in Biology Letters in a study titled “The sexy and powerful male body: men’s height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits (特性)”, the scientists suppose that women’s sexual preferences may have fuelled a trend for taller, more muscular men who are believed to be better able to defend their partners and offspring against others.(在《生物学通讯》杂志上发表的一项名为《性感且强大的男性体态:男性身高和体重是受环境影响、由性选择形成的特征》的研究中,科学家们推测,女性的性偏好可能推动了这一趋势:即出现更高、更健壮的男性,因为这类男性被认为更有能力保护自己的伴侣和后代免受其他人的侵害)”可知,这项研究的重点是造成这一增长的因素。故选A。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段“The findings build on previous work that found women want taller men more than men want shorter women. But, while taller people tend to earn more, they are also more likely to develop various cancers, possibly because they have more cells that can accumulate mutations (突变) which lead to the disease.(这些研究结果进一步证实了此前的一项发现,即女性想要高个男性的程度超过男性想要矮个女性的程度。不过,尽管身材较高的人往往收入更高,但他们患各种癌症的风险也更高,这可能是因为他们体内的细胞数量更多,更容易积累突变从而引发疾病)”可知,第六段主要谈论的是身高过高带来的弊端。故选D。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He said it was consistent with a long-standing idea that females are “the more ecologically restricted” sex because of the demands of reproduction, particularly in mammals (哺乳动物) where generating and nursing are “energetically expensive”.(他说,这与一个长期以来的观点相一致,即女性在生态适应方面“更具局限性”,这是因为生育的需求所致,尤其是在哺乳动物中,产仔和哺乳过程“能量消耗巨大”)”可知,女性身高和体重的增长幅度没有那么显著是因为女性的生理特性起着主导作用。故选B。

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global cancer rates will increase 77 percent by 2050. ____36____ By adopting a few healthy habits and making smart choices, people can reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.
One of the most important ways is to limit your exposure to UV rays from the sun. UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it’s best to stay indoors or in the shade during these hours. If you have to be in the sun, wear protective clothing. ____37____ These measures can shelter you from harmful radiation and prevent sunburn, which is a major risk factor for skin cancer.
____38____ Choose a type with a sun protection factor of at least 30. It should protect against both kinds of UV rays that cause damage to your skin. Apply it to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, ears and hands, even on cloudy days. Put it on every two hours or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
Regular skin checks are also key in the prevention of skin cancer. It is vital to examine your skin once a month for spots, moles (痣) or growths. Be on the lookout for changes in size, shape or color. Watch for moles that have one side that is different from the other. ____39____ If a mole is bigger than a pencil eraser or its appearance is changing, consult a skin doctor immediately.
Healthy skin is beautiful. ____40____
A. Look at the size, too.
B. Beauty is only skin deep.
C. Sunglasses that block UV rays are also a must.
D. Protecting it is one of the best things you can do.
E. You are bound to be free from any skin problems mentioned.
F. Using sunscreen is another important way to protect your skin.
G. But the good news is that it’s also one of the easiest to prevent.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. F 39. A 40. D

【36题详解】
前文““You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words. And unfortunately, the number of those who hear them just keeps rising. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global cancer rates will increase 77 percent by 2050. (“你得了皮肤癌。”没人想听这么可怕的话。不幸的是,听到它们的人越来越多。世界卫生组织(WHO)估计,到2050年,全球癌症发病率将上升77%。)”提到皮肤癌发病率上升的严峻现实,后文“By adopting a few healthy habits and making smart choices, people can reduce their risk of developing skin cancer. (通过养成一些健康的习惯并做出明智的选择,人们可以降低患皮肤癌的风险。)”转向通过健康习惯降低风险,此处需一个转折句衔接悲观事实与积极措施,因此G项“But the good news is that it’s also one of the easiest to prevent. (但好消息是,它也是最容易预防的(癌症)之一。)”符合语境,和前文构成转折,引出后文的措施,其中的it指代前文的skin cancer。故选G。
【37题详解】
前文“If you have to be in the sun, wear protective clothing. (如果你必须在阳光下,穿上防护服。)”提到防护紫外线的衣物,后文“These measures can shelter you from harmful radiation and prevent sunburn, which is a major risk factor for skin cancer. (这些措施可以保护你免受有害辐射,防止晒伤,而晒伤是皮肤癌的主要危险因素。)”解释防护措施的用处,此处应补充其他防护措施,因此C项“Sunglasses that block UV rays are also a must. (能阻挡紫外线的太阳镜也是必需品。)”符合语境,和前文构成递进关系。故选C。
【38题详解】
后文“Choose a type with a sun protection factor of at least 30. It should protect against both kinds of UV rays that cause damage to your skin. Apply it to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, ears and hands, even on cloudy days. Put it on every two hours or more often if you’re swimming or sweating. (选择防晒系数至少为30的防晒霜。它可以防止两种对皮肤造成伤害的紫外线。涂抹在所有暴露在外的皮肤上,包括你的脸、脖子、耳朵和手,即使是在阴天。每两小时涂抹一次,如果在游泳或出汗,则应更频繁涂抹。)”详细描述防晒霜的选择和使用方法,此处是总起句,需引入防晒霜这一新措施,因此F项“Using sunscreen is another important way to protect your skin. (使用防晒霜是保护皮肤的另一种重要方式。)”符合语境,契合后文内容。故选F。
【39题详解】
前文“Watch for moles that have one side that is different from the other. (注意那些一边和另一边不一样的痣。)”提醒注意不对称的痣,后文“If a mole is bigger than a pencil eraser or its appearance is changing, consult a skin doctor immediately. (如果痣比铅笔橡皮擦还大,或者痣的外观正在发生变化,请立即咨询皮肤医生。)”指出需及时咨询医生的是过大、外观有变化的痣,此处应补充注意痣的大小,因此A项“Look at the size, too. (也要注意大小。)”符合语境,与前文并列关系。故选A。
【40题详解】
前文“Healthy skin is beautiful. (健康的皮肤是美丽的。)”总结健康皮肤的状态,此处宜进一步强调保护皮肤的重要性,因此D项“Protecting it is one of the best things you can do. (保护它是你能做的最好的事情之一。)”符合语境,承接前文,和前文存在因果关系,其中的it指代前文的Healthy skin。故选D。

【57题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:这项创新使得听力有障碍的人能够充分参与到对话之中。根据上文those可知用复数形式。故填disabilities。
【58题详解】

【65题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:另一方面,TranscribeGlass 能够确保在复杂的声学环境中也能实现清晰的交流,这是因为它能够从较远的距离(甚至是从整个演讲厅的另一端)捕捉到声音。for the reason that表示“因为,由于”。故填that。

【答案】例文
Unlock Growth Through Social Practice
Social practice serves as a crucial bridge connecting classroom learning to real-world application. In the vacation, I volunteered at a local library for half a month, assisting in sorting out and maintaining classical historical works. This experience enhances my practical skills and deepens my understanding of community needs. More importantly, it shapes my social awareness and personal growth.
Based on my experience, I’d like to make some suggestions. First, select work that genuinely interests you. Whether it’s environmental protection or elderly care, passion will sustain your motivation. Secondly, engage fully in the process. Ask questions, take initiative, and immerse yourself in every task. Your active participation makes the experience truly rewarding. Finally, remember to reflect throughout your journey. Keep a simple journal to record insights and challenges. This practice helps internalize lessons and maximizes learning.
Social practice, if its true purpose is achieved, will turn your experience into a journey of growth that shapes you into a responsible and capable citizen.

第二节:续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
After a long day riding on the farm, Jorge returned to the house. His mother, Melissa, greeted him, looking upset.
“I have received an offer from Mr. Somerset to sell the farm to Eco-Tours International,” Melissa began. “I’ve always hoped to keep the farm. Sadly, we’re losing money because the land is overgrazed (过度放牧).” Jorge’s heart dropped. He asked if they had to decide right now.
“Two weeks,” Melissa replied. “We’ll find an answer,” Jorge said, trying to sound optimistic.
The next few days were filled with the hardest work Jorge had ever done. He herded sheep, fixed fencing,.... In the evenings, he would sit with his mother, excitedly telling her all he learned on the farm. But when he was done, sadness would fill his heart. He didn’t yet know how to save the farm.
On the fourth day, Jorge came across a guanaco (原驼) with its leg stuck in the fence. Jorge knelt beside it to help, reaching out with a pair of wire cutters. “These are wild animals,” Jorge thought. “They don’t understand fences. In the old days, his mother once told him, there were no fences. The flock (羊群) grazed all over the mountain. It was harder to protect the sheep, but at least there was always enough grass.” Watching the guanaco limping away, Jorge fell silent. Something churned in his mind (心烦), but he couldn’t figure out what it was exactly.
Two days before Mr. Somerset was due to return, Jorge was out on a horse seeking out a sheep that had wandered away. After a while, he spotted her on the other side of that fence. As he approached, he instantly understood what attracted her out - - the green grass. Thoughtfully, he looked at the rich pastures (草场) beyond.
Jorge managed to get the sheep in and was about to leave when he noticed a sudden movement. A puma (美洲狮) stood on a flat rock, staring at him. Jorge almost felt sorry for the skinny beast. “It must be hungry,” Jorge said quietly. “The changes to the land affect us all.”
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。
On the way back, Jorge had a picture in his mind.

Then came the day when Mr. Somerset returned.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
On the way back, Jorge had a picture in his mind. He imagined a farm running endlessly, where their sheep roamed freely alongside guanacos, just as it was in the old days. Without fences, some sheep might fall victim to pumas, but the flock as a whole would survive and grow stronger. Without fences, the land could heal through rotational grazing. Why not remove them? he thought. He urged his horse into a gallop. In the house, he laid out his vision to his mother. Melissa listened intently, her eyes gradually lighting up. “You’re right,” she said, “But we might as well consider Mr. Somerset’s offer”, she added. Jorge nodded thoughtfully.
Then came the day when Mr. Somerset returned. Jorge stood beside his mother, holding their new farm plan. “We’re not selling,” Melissa announced confidently. Jorge presented their vision: an eco-ranch where tourists could see wildlife coexisting with livestock. Mr. Somerset frowned initially, but as Jorge explained how sustainable grazing would restore the land’s fertility and how healthy predators meant a healthy ecosystem and potential for eco-tourism, his expression softened. “Smart young man,” he finally said, patting Jorge on the shoulder. “Eco-Tours might want to invest in this model instead.” Hope blossomed in Jorge’s chest as well as in his mother’s — they found an answer that honored both their heritage and the land.

Most people celebrate their 80th birthday with cake and candles. Betty Kellenberger celebrated hers by making history.
The Michigan native recently became the oldest woman ever to hike the entire Appalachian Trail — a surprising 2,200-mile difficult walk that stretches across 14 states, with climbs and descents equal to climbing Mount Everest 16 times. “You see incredible parts of our country, things that you wouldn’t see otherwise,” said Kellenberger. “So much wildlife. It’s just beautiful.”
Kellenberger grew up on a farm in Howell, where her fascination with the famous footpath began. For years, she dreamed about hiking the trail from Georgia to Maine, but life never allowed for the six-month commitment it required. Eventually, she realized that nothing was holding her back — so in 2024, she took her first steps on what would become the adventure of a lifetime.
The journey wasn’t easy. Along the way, Kellenberger faced dehydration (脱水), falls, and even disease. It was also interrupted by Hurricane Helene, which tore through the eastern United States and forced her to pause at the southern Virginia border. Determined to finish, she rerouted north and continued in the spring of 2025, braving New England’s rocky terrain until the very end.
When she finally reached the end of the trail, the emotions hit hard. “So you’re a basket case,” she laughed. “You have so many emotions because you’re excited about finishing. I was really looking forward to saying, ‘I am done.’ But you also know you’re going to miss this big time. You’re not going to have what you have out on that trail. That peace, the tranquility.”
She described Maine and New Hampshire as the toughest stretches — but also the most rewarding. Now, after months of hiking through rain, heat, and hardship, Kellenberger says she’s in the best shape of her life.
24. What history did 80-year-old Kellenberger make?
A. She lived as long a life as 80 years. B. She spent a lifetime exploring.
C. She climbed Mount Everest all alone. D. She made a long tough journey.
25. What does the third paragraph indicate?
A. The hiking was her long-held dream. B. She was a natural sports enthusiast.
C. Her celebration was one like no other. D. Her difficult life killed her pursuit.
26 What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A. Her success was incomparable. B. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
C. The experience blew her away. D. She hadn’t expected the outcome.
27. Which word best describes Kellenberger from her episode?
A. Self-centered. B. Emotional. C. Long-lived. D. Adventurous.

For decades, environmental science focused on identifying isolated (孤立的) problems and their direct fixes. However, a significant shift is now defining the field: researchers are moving from a linear (线性的) view to understanding the Earth as a complex, interconnected system. This new fundamental change reveals that well-intentioned actions can have unintended consequences, making the path to sustainability far more nuanced (复杂).
The most convincing evidence for this shift comes from research on climate feedback loops. For instance, scientists have discovered that as we successfully reduce air pollution, we also decrease the reflective aerosols (气溶胶) that once subtly cooled the planet. This “unmasking” effect accelerates warming, revealing the full force of greenhouse gases. Similarly, the alarming melt of permafrost (永冻土) is not just a sign of warming; it is a powerful driver, releasing vast stores of methane and carbon dioxide in a self-reinforcing cycle.
This systemic thinking extends to proposed solutions. The concept of planting trees as a simple carbon sink is now examined carefully. Research shows that large-scale afforestation in the wrong locations can reduce the Earth’s reflectivity, absorb more heat, and disturb local water cycles, potentially negating the carbon benefits. The focus has therefore switched to ecosystem-specific restoration and a comprehensive management of natural carbon stocks.
Ultimately, the central insight of modern environmental research is that there are no silver bullets. The challenge is no longer just about inventing cleaner technologies but about managing complex systems. The new frontier is understanding these interconnections to design resilient strategies that work with the planet’s systems, not against them.
28. What do the examples in paragraph 2 serve as?
A. The consequences caused. B. The likelihood of the change.
C. The solid proof of the shift. D. The prospect of sustainability.
29. What should solutions to natural carbon stocks be based on?
A. Precise locations. B. Systemic thinking.
C. Local water cycles. D. Greenhouse gases.
30. What does the author mean by saying “no silver bullets”?
A. The situation is worsening. B. It is a challenge like never before.
C. There is no single solution. D. Research work is far from perfect.
31. What is the most suitable title for the article?
A. A Harmonious Eco-system is Yet to Arrive
B. From Simple Solutions to Systemic Thinking
C. Sustainable Development is Finally in Sight
D. One-size-fits-all Approaches are Here to Stay
(D)
According to a new study, men around the world have gained height and weight twice as fast as women over the past century, driving greater differences between the sexes.
“We’re seeing insights into how sexual selection has shaped the male and female body and how improved environments, in terms of food and a lower burden of disease, have freed us from our shackles (束缚),” said Prof Lewis Halsey at the University of Roehampton.
Halsey and his colleagues used data from the World Health Organization, overseas authorities and UK records to see how height and weight have changed with living conditions. The latter was measured by the human development index (HDI), a score based on life expectancy, time in education and per capita income, which ranges from zero to one.
Analysis of records from dozens of countries found that for every 0.2 point increase in HDI, women were on average 1.7cm taller and 2.7kg heavier, while men were 4cm taller and 6.5kg heavier. This suggests that as living conditions improve, both height and weight increase, but more than twice as fast in men than women.
Writing in Biology Letters in a study titled “The sexy and powerful male body: men’s height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits (特性)”, the scientists suppose that women’s sexual preferences may have fuelled a trend for taller, more muscular men who are believed to be better able to defend their partners and offspring against others.
The findings build on previous work that found women want taller men more than men want shorter women. But, while taller people tend to earn more, they are also more likely to develop various cancers, possibly because they have more cells that can accumulate mutations (突变) which lead to the disease.
Michael Wilson, professor of ecology, evolution and behaviour at the University of Minnesota, said the faster increase in male height and weight was “striking”. He said it was consistent with a long-standing idea that females are “the more ecologically restricted” sex because of the demands of reproduction, particularly in mammals (哺乳动物) where generating and nursing are “energetically expensive”.
32. What differences between the sexes do the findings involve?
A. Nutrition and health. B. Height and weight.
C. Schooling and income. D. Gender and growth.
33. What did the study focus on?
A. The contributors to the increase. B. The approach to the phenomenon.
C. The consequences of the change. D. The trend of human development.
34. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 6?
A. The benefits of growing athletic. B. The preferences for partners.
C. The causes of developing cancer. D. The downsides of being tall.
35. Why is the increase in female height and weight less striking?
A. Women prioritize health over height. B. Women’s biological role dominates it.
C. Males tend to choose shorter women. D. They fall victim to some wrong ideas.

Keep Skin Cancer At Bay
“You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words. And unfortunately, the number of those who hear them just keeps rising. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global cancer rates will increase 77 percent by 2050. ____36____ By adopting a few healthy habits and making smart choices, people can reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.
One of the most important ways is to limit your exposure to UV rays from the sun. UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it’s best to stay indoors or in the shade during these hours. If you have to be in the sun, wear protective clothing. ____37____ These measures can shelter you from harmful radiation and prevent sunburn, which is a major risk factor for skin cancer.
____38____ Choose a type with a sun protection factor of at least 30. It should protect against both kinds of UV rays that cause damage to your skin. Apply it to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, ears and hands, even on cloudy days. Put it on every two hours or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
Regular skin checks are also key in the prevention of skin cancer. It is vital to examine your skin once a month for spots, moles (痣) or growths. Be on the lookout for changes in size, shape or color. Watch for moles that have one side that is different from the other. ____39____ If a mole is bigger than a pencil eraser or its appearance is changing, consult a skin doctor immediately.
Healthy skin is beautiful. ____40____
A. Look at the size, too.
B. Beauty is only skin deep.
C. Sunglasses that block UV rays are also a must.
D. Protecting it is one of the best things you can do.
E. You are bound to be free from any skin problems mentioned.
F. Using sunscreen is another important way to protect your skin.
G. But the good news is that it’s also one of the easiest to prevent.

While everyone cried in shock, I ____45____ without a second thought. I raced outside, scooped up (捡起) the dripping giant, and ____46____ it to the counter. “We need paper towels ____47____!” I instructed, my voice surprisingly ____48____. “And someone call a book conservator!”

Mr. Clark later told me, “You weren’t just saving a book today.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
After a long day riding on the farm, Jorge returned to the house. His mother, Melissa, greeted him, looking upset.
“I have received an offer from Mr. Somerset to sell the farm to Eco-Tours International,” Melissa began. “I’ve always hoped to keep the farm. Sadly, we’re losing money because the land is overgrazed (过度放牧).” Jorge’s heart dropped. He asked if they had to decide right now.
“Two weeks,” Melissa replied. “We’ll find an answer,” Jorge said, trying to sound optimistic.
The next few days were filled with the hardest work Jorge had ever done. He herded sheep fixed fencing,.... In the evenings, he would sit with his mother, excitedly telling her all he learned on the farm. But when he was done, sadness would fill his heart. He didn’t yet know how to save the farm.
On the fourth day, Jorge came across a guanaco (原驼) with its leg stuck in the fence. Jorge knelt beside it to help, reaching out with a pair of wire cutters. “These are wild animals,” Jorge thought. “They don’t understand fences. In the old days, his mother once told him, there were no fences. The flock (羊群) grazed all over the mountain. It was harder to protect the sheep, but at least there was always enough grass.” Watching the guanaco limping away, Jorge fell silent. Something churned in his mind (心烦), but he couldn’t figure out what it was exactly.
Two days before Mr. Somerset was due to return Jorge was out on a horse seeking out a sheep that had wandered away. After a while, he spotted her on the other side of that fence. As he approached, he instantly understood what attracted her out - - the green grass. Thoughtfully, he looked at the rich pastures (草场) beyond.
Jorge managed to get the sheep in and was about to leave when he noticed a sudden movement. A puma (美洲狮) stood on a flat rock, staring at him. Jorge almost felt sorry for the skinny beast. “It must be hungry,” Jorge said quietly. “The changes to the land affect us all.”

1.续写词数应为150左右;

On the way back, Jorge had a picture in his mind.

That was when my brother burner and I got our pocket money from our father. I would put half of IT in my money box and run off happily with the rest to the little local shop at the end of our street. There I would join the other boys and girls eager to spend their saturday pocket money. All mr. Bartley had were a few things arranged on a simple wooden shelf, which he kept under the counter and brought out for the children on saturday. But to us, IT was a wonderful site. Sugar balls, sweets and brightly coloured paper IT always took ages for each child to decide what to buy, but mrs. Barton didn't mind as long as there were no grown up customers. Way to be served. SHE, let us take our time. Bernd liked sweets. The problem was that he didn't like buying them. He went to the news agents shop that sold football cards. He was mad about these picture cards of famous footballers and spent all his pocket money trying to collect whole teams of players. On saturday afternoons, he would search the house, find out where I was. If I didn't hide my bag of sweets quickly enough, he'd see IT and say, can I have one? And I would say, why should I give you one? You had your pocket money too. You could have bought your own sweets. Then bernard would go to our mother to complain. Mom would say, jim, don't be so mean. Share your sweets with your brother. I thought this was really unfair, but I had no choice. Well, i'd like to share with you my childhood experience.
