Throughout history, environmentalists have had a great influence not only on natural spaces, but also on our individual lives. Here are three influential ones.
John Muir (1838~1914)
His lifelong love for hiking began when he hiked to the Gulf of Mexico in 1867. Muir spent much of his adult life wandering in — and fighting to protect — America’s western wilderness. He helped establish Yosemite National Park and founded the Sierra Club, an organization that still works to preserve nature today. His writings about nature also inspired countless people to appreciate the outdoors.
Rachel Carson (1907~1964)
A marine biologist by training, Carson is best known for her 1962 book Silent Spring. In it, she warned about the harmful effects of pesticides (杀虫剂) on wildlife and humans. At the time, many chemical companies criticized her, but her work led to a nationwide ban on DDT, a dangerous pesticide, and sparked the modern environmental movement.
Wangari Maathai (1940~2011)
The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in Kenya in 1977. The organization encourages women to plant trees to battle against deforestation (毁林) and improve their livelihoods. Over the years, it has planted more than 51 million trees across Africa. Maathai once said, “Trees are living symbols of hope, peace, and prosperity.”
1. What did John Muir do for environmental protection?
A. He wrote books about marine life. B. He set up a nature protection group.
C. He invented a tool to fight deforestation. D. He hosted programs on environmental issues.
2. Why is Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring important?
A. It introduced new farming techniques. B. It explained the history of pesticides.
C. It raised awareness of pesticide risks. D. It promoted the use of natural chemicals.
3. What is the Green Belt Movement’s main focus?
A. Training women in gardening skills. B. Protecting wildlife in African forests.
C. Building parks for public recreation. D. Planting trees to fight against deforestation.

The Rise of Community Gardens in Urban Areas
In recent years, community gardens have been popping up in cities across Guangdong, turning empty lots into green spaces that benefit both people and the environment. These gardens are managed by local residents, who work together to plant vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
One key advantage of community gardens is improving food security. Many urban dwellers rely on imported produce, but growing food locally cuts down on transportation costs and ensures fresher ingredients. For example, in a small garden in Guangzhou’s Liwan District, residents harvest lettuce and tomatoes every two weeks, sharing the yield among families.
These gardens also boost community bonds. Neighbors who once rarely spoke now collaborate on sowing seeds watering plants, and solving problems like pest control. Elderly residents often share farming experience, while younger people bring new ideas, creating a mix of wisdom and innovation. A survey in Shenzhen found that 85% of garden participants felt closer to their neighbors after joining.
Environmentally, community gardens help reduce urban heat islands — paved areas absorb more heat, but plants cool the air through transpiration. They also filter rainwater, reducing runoff and easing pressure on city drainage systems. In Dongguan, a community garden with over 100 trees has lowered the local temperature by 1-2℃ during summer months.
Despite challenges like limited space and occasional conflicts over land use, community gardens continue to grow in popularity. They prove that small-scale green projects can make big differences in urban life, blending sustainability with community connection.
4. Which one of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A. Increase. B. Guarantee. C. Grow. D. Cook.
5. Why do community gardens strengthen community bonds?
A Residents cooperate and exchange experiences.
B. They hold regular gatherings for neighbors.
C. They provide free food for all community members.
D They arrange visits to countryside areas.
6. How do community gardens help the environment?
A. They expand paved areas in cities. B. They make the air cool and decrease runoff.
C. They apply more chemical fertilizers. D. They draw more urban heat islands.
7. What challenge do community gardens face?
A. An excessive number of participants. B. Plentiful land resources.
C. Restricted space and land use conflicts. D. Shortage of fresh water supply.

When I first started teaching writing, I assigned my students a simple essay: “Why Writing Is Important?” I expected thoughtful responses, but the results were disappointing. Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important.
I decided to change my approach. Instead of asking them to write about writing, I let them write about anything that mattered to them. I told them to choose a topic they cared about — something that made them angry, sad, happy, or curious — and write a story or an essay about it. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics: the death of a pet, the joy of playing basketball with their dad, the frustration of being misunderstood by teachers. They turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
One student wrote about his experience volunteering at an animal shelter. He described the way the dogs would wag their tails when he walked in, the quiet sadness of the cats in cages, and the achievement of helping a scared puppy find a home. Another wrote about her grandmother’s battle with illness and how their weekly tea parties kept them connected. These pieces weren’t just well-written; they were real.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
8. Why were the students’ first essays disappointing?
A. They were overbrief. B. They lacked clear thesis statements.
C They centered on computers. D. They showed no interest in the theme.
9. What change did the teacher make to the writing assignment?
A. Told students to write about computers B. Let students select their concerned topics
C. Demanded 20-page essays D. Arranged animal shelter volunteering tasks
10. What did the student writing about the animal shelter describe?
A. Annoyance with teachers
B. Basketball matches with dad
C. Dogs’ tail-wagging and a puppy getting a home
D. Weekly tea gatherings with grandma
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A teacher initially assigned a boring writing topic.
B. Students performed poorly on their first writing task.
C. Students improved their works by picking writing topics they were fond of.
D. A teacher recognized writing’s power to link people after shifting method.
D
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, often called “the Met,” is one of the world’s largest and most famous art museums. Located in New York City, it was founded in 1870 as a project between businessmen, financiers, and influential thinkers of the day.

Today, the Met’s collection includes over two million works of art spanning 5,000 years of history.

The temple was gifted to the United States by Egypt in 1965 and moved to the Met in 1978. It is displayed in a large room with a glass wall overlooking Central Park, making it a favorite spot for photos.
The Met isn’t just a place to look at art — it’s also a center for education. The museum offers guided tours, lectures, and workshops for all ages. There are programs for children, like art-making classes, and courses for adults on art history and conservation. The Met also has a library with over one million books and documents related to art, which is open to researchers from around the world.
Whether you’re an art lover or just curious about history, the Met has something for everyone. As one visitor put it, “You could spend a week here and still not see everything — and that’s part of the magic.”

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“One key advantage of community gardens is improving food security. Many urban dwellers rely on imported produce, but growing food locally cuts down on transportation costs and ensures fresher ingredients.(社区花园的一个主要优势是改善食品安全。许多城市居民依赖进口农产品,但在当地种植食物可以降低运输成本并ensure更新鲜的食材)”可知,划线词“ensures”的宾语是“fresher ingredients(更新鲜的食材)”,前文提到“improving food security(改善食品安全)”,由此推知,在当地种植食物是为了“保证,确保”食材更新鲜。因此,ensures的意思是“保证、确保”,与B项“guarantee(保证)”意思一致。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“These gardens also boost community bonds. Neighbors who once rarely spoke now collaborate on sowing seeds, watering plants, and solving problems like pest control. Elderly residents often share farming experience, while younger people bring new ideas, creating a mix of wisdom and innovation.(这些花园还能增强社区联系。曾经很少说话的邻居们现在在播种、浇水和解决害虫控制等问题上展开合作。老年居民经常分享耕作经验,而年轻人带来新想法,创造出智慧与创新的结合)”可知,社区花园通过促进居民合作和经验交流来加强社区联系。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Environmentally, community gardens help reduce urban heat islands — paved areas absorb more heat, but plants cool the air through transpiration. They also filter rainwater, reducing runoff and easing pressure on city drainage systems.(在环境方面,社区花园有助于减少城市热岛效应——铺砌的区域吸收更多热量,而植物通过蒸腾作用使空气变凉。它们还能过滤雨水,减少径流,缓解城市排水系统的压力)”可知,社区花园通过植物蒸腾作用使空气变凉,并通过过滤雨水减少径流。故选B项。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Then I realized that the problem was the question itself.

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Instead of asking them to write about writing, I let them write about anything that mattered to them. I told them to choose a topic they cared about — something that made them angry, sad, happy, or curious — and write a story or an essay about it.

Their goal was to create a museum that would bring art and education to the American people.
Today, the Met’s collection includes over two million works of art spanning 5,000 years of history. Visitors can explore art from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as masterpieces by European artists like Van Gogh and Rembrandt.

There are programs for children, like art-making classes, and courses for adults on art history and conservation. The Met also has a library with over one million books and documents related to art, which is open to researchers from around the world.

Persistence is the quality of continuing to try even when something is difficult or takes a long time. It’s a key trait (特质) of successful people in all fields, from science to sports. ____16____ Here are three reasons why persistence matters.
First persistence helps you overcome obstacles. ____17____ For example, Thomas Edison failed hundreds of times before inventing the light bulb. Each failure taught him something new, and he kept trying until he succeeded. Without persistence, he would have given up early, and we might still be using candles today.
Second, persistence builds confidence. When you keep working at a goal and eventually achieve it, you prove to yourself that you can do hard things. ____18____ This confidence then helps you take on bigger challenges in the future.
Third, persistence leads to growth. ____19____ Every time you push through a difficult task, you learn new skills and gain experience. Even if you don’t achieve your goal right away, you’re becoming a stronger, more capable person.
____20____ It means staying committed to your goals, even when progress is slow or setbacks happen. With persistence, you can turn your dreams into reality.
A. Persistence isn’t about being stubborn.
B. Many great achievements take time and effort.
C. So how can we develop persistence in our lives?

根据上文“Third, persistence leads to growth.(第三,坚持能带来成长)”以及下文“Every time you push through a difficult task, you learn new skills and gain experience.(每一次你攻克一项艰巨的任务,你都会习得新技能、收获新经验)”可知,此处应强调伟大的成就需要时间和努力的积累,而坚持的过程就是积累的过程。B选项“Many great achievements take time and effort.(许多伟大的成就都需要时间和努力)”既承接上文坚持带来成长的观点,又引出下文攻克任务的具体收获,符合语境。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“It means staying committed to your goals, even when progress is slow or setbacks happen.(它意味着即便进展缓慢或遭遇挫折,也要坚守自己的目标)”可知,此处应是对坚持的进一步解读,说明坚持并非固执。A选项“Persistence isn’t about being stubborn.(坚持并非意味着固执己见)”中的isn’t about being stubborn与下文坚守目标的正确做法形成对比,准确阐释了坚持的内涵,符合语境。故选A项。
