Two British women have completed an 8,000 nautical mile (15,00 km) journey across the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Cairns, Australia.
Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne arrived at Cairns Yacht Club on Saturday evening, when they were greeted by family and friends.
“Those final few hours were brutal (糟糕),” Rowe said. “We honestly thought we weren’t going to make it. To finally be here, after talking about it for so long, just feels incredible.”
Rowe, 28, and Payne, 25, pushed off from Lima, Peru, on 5 May. They set a record as the first female team and the youngest to row across the Pacific, non-stop and supported. Over 165 days at sea, they averaged 50 nautical miles a day, rowing in tandem (协力) during the day, with one rowing at night while her crewmate slept in a small cabin.
Kept alive with 400 kg of mostly freeze-dried food, a water desalinator (淡化机) and a growing unit for micro-greens, the pair relied on a solar energy system for a fraction of the power they needed. For much of their journey, they had no navigation equipment or beacon (灯塔), making them almost invisible to other ships.
They raised more than £86,000 for the Outward Bound Trust. Payne, from Yorkshire, had not been at sea until she rowed the Atlantic by herself in 2022 in a record time. There were moments when they feared they would not make it, she said. As early as day six, a journey across the world’s largest ocean felt impossible. “Every time something went wrong, we just looked at each other and went, ‘of course it has!’ But we kept going,” she said. Rowe, from Hampshire, had previously rowed across the Atlantic. “We had such a good time together, and we’re already excited to plan new adventures together,” she said.
4. What are the unique aspects of Rowe and Payne’s achievement?
A. Being the first to cross the Pacific. B. Being the fastest to complete the journey.
C. Their success without any modern tools. D. Their age and gender in a non-stop row.
5. What was a significant safety risk during their rowing?
A. Insufficient food supply. B. Lack of communication devices.
C. Being undetectable to ships. D. Frequent power system failures.
6. What can we learn about Payne’s past experience?
A. She had no rowing experience prior to 2022.
B. She found the Pacific trip easier than expected.
C. She had previously crossed an ocean with Rowe.
D. She was more experienced than Rowe before the trip.
7. Which of the following can best describe the two women?
A. Pessimistic and cautious. B. Tough and adventurous.
C. Competitive and ambitious. D. Independent and humorous.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,记述了两位英国女性杰斯·罗和米里亚姆·佩恩完成无支援、不停靠划船横渡太平洋的创纪录壮举,展现了她们在漫长航程中所面临的挑战与坚韧精神。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They set a record as the first female team and the youngest to row across the Pacific, non-stop and supported.(她们创下纪录,成为首支且最年轻的女子团队,完成了无间断、有后勤保障的横渡太平洋划船挑战)”可知,她们的成就在于成为“她们在这场无间断划船挑战中的年龄与性别因素”。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“For much of their journey, they had no navigation equipment or beacon (灯塔), making them almost invisible to other ships.(在他们的大部分航行过程中,他们既没有导航设备,也没有信号灯,这使得他们几乎完全被其他船只所忽略)”可知,她们在大部分航程中缺乏导航与信标设备,导致难以被其他船只发现,构成显著安全风险。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Payne, from Yorkshire, had not been at sea until she rowed the Atlantic by herself in 2022 in a record time.(佩恩来自约克郡,此前她从未出过海。但在2022年,她独自一人划船横渡了大西洋,并创下了最快纪录)”可知,佩恩在2022年之前并无航海经验,首次出海即单人划船横渡大西洋。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Those final few hours were brutal (糟糕),” Rowe said.(“那最后的几个小时真是极其艰难。”罗说)”以及最后一段““Every time something went wrong, we just looked at each other and went, ‘of course it has!’ But we kept going,” she said.(“每次出现状况时,我们都会相互对视一下,然后说:‘这当然会出问题!’但随后我们还是继续前行。” 她说道)”可知,她们面对等极端困难仍坚持完成航程,并计划新冒险,体现出顽强的意志力与冒险精神。故选B项。
C
In a single year, one polar bear can leave roughly 300 kilograms of food for other animals to dine on. Altogether, polar bears provide 7.6 million kilograms of carrion (腐肉) for other animals throughout the Arctic, researchers estimate.
The findings highlight the crucial role these “top hunters” play in feeding a vast variety of species and predict that food web might be destabilized as climate change warms the Arctic, endangering polar bear populations.
Scientists have long known that polar bears typically eat part of the prey (猎物) — usually seals — then leave the rest. However, the importance of those leftovers has been long overlooked, says Nicholas Pilfold, a scientist at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.
Pilfold and colleagues dove into studies and observations of carrion consumption around leftovers dating as far back as the 1930s. The team also analyzed studies on how many calories seals can provide and how many seals polar bears consume.
A polar bear kills roughly one seal every three to five days, which equals about 1,000 kilograms of food every year. A bear eats a majority of that mass, leaving some 30 percent up for grabs. Considering there are an estimated 26,000 polar bears in the Arctic, all those leftovers add up to millions of kilograms of leftovers, including arctic foxes, wolves and gulls.
Jon Aars, a polar bear expert at the Norwegian Polar Institute, says the findings come as no surprise. “The leftovers are a ‘rather important’ food source for other species, particularly at a time when alternative food is not so easy to get,” he says.
But the Arctic is warming, affecting polar bear populations and, in turn, their leftovers. “If we’re going to start to see declines in polar bears, we’re likely going to see declines in that carrion biomass,” Pilfold says.
“It’s difficult to predict the effect that the decrease of polar bears’ carrion might have on other species,” Aars says. “But it will have an impact one way or another, depending on which species and which part of the Arctic we look at.”
8. What does the underlined word “destabilized” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Enlarged. B. Simplified. C. Restored. D. Shaken.
9. How did Pilfold and his team conduct their research?
A. Through long-term field observations. B. By reviewing past data and seal energy.
C. By focusing on the needs of other animals. D. By estimating the annual decline in carrion.
10. What will happen if polar bear populations decline?
A. Food supply for other animals will lessen.
B. The seal population will increase rapidly.
C. Arctic foxes will become the top hunters.
D. Competition among polar bears will decrease.
11. What is Jon Aars’s attitude toward the findings of the study?
A. Surprised and doubtful. B. Indifferent and dismissive.
C. Accepting and concerned. D. Confident and certain.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述研究发现北极熊遗留的腐肉是北极多种动物的重要食物来源,气候变暖致其数量减少,恐破坏当地食物网稳定。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The findings highlight the crucial role these “top hunters” play in feeding a vast variety of species and predict that food web might be destabilized as climate change warms the Arctic, endangering polar bear populations.(这些发现凸显了这些“顶级捕猎者”在为多种物种提供食物方面的关键作用,并预测随着气候变化导致北极变暖、北极熊种群面临威胁,食物网可能会destabilized)”可知,北极熊数量减少会影响其提供的腐肉资源,进而对食物网造成不稳定的负面影响。所以猜测destabilized表“不稳定”的意思,与“shaken”词义相近。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Pilfold and colleagues dove into studies and observations of carrion consumption around leftovers dating as far back as the 1930s. The team also analyzed studies on how many calories seals can provide and how many seals polar bears consume. (皮尔福德和同事深入研究了早在20世纪30年代就存在的、关于腐肉食用情况的研究和观测数据。该团队还分析了关于海豹能提供多少热量以及北极熊会捕食多少海豹的相关研究)”可知,研究团队是通过查阅过往数据和分析海豹能量相关研究开展工作的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But the Arctic is warming, affecting polar bear populations and, in turn, their leftovers. “If we’re going to start to see declines in polar bears, we’re likely going to see declines in that carrion biomass,” Pilfold says.(但北极正在变暖,影响着北极熊的数量,进而影响它们留下的腐肉。皮尔福德说:“如果北极熊的数量开始减少,腐肉的总量很可能也会随之下降。”)”可知,北极熊数量减少会导致留给其他动物的食物供应减少。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Jon Aars, a polar bear expert at the Norwegian Polar Institute, says the findings come as no surprise. “The leftovers are a ‘rather important’ food source for other species, particularly at a time when alternative food is not so easy to get,” he says.(挪威极地研究所的北极熊专家乔恩・阿尔斯表示,这些研究结果并不令人意外。“这些残羹剩饭对其他物种而言是‘相当重要’的食物来源,尤其是在替代食物并不易获取的时期,”他说)”以及最后一段““It’s difficult to predict the effect that the decrease of polar bears’ carrion might have on other species,” Aars says. “But it will have an impact one way or another, depending on which species and which “part of the Arctic we look at.”(“很难预测北极熊腐肉减少可能对其他物种产生的影响,但无论如何,”阿尔斯说。“但它会以这样或那样的方式产生影响,这取决于我们研究的是哪种物种和北极的哪一部分。”)”可推知,阿尔斯认可该研究发现,同时对腐肉减少的影响表示担忧。故选C项。
D
The risks associated with sitting lead many health authorities to warn against spending too much time doing so. The sit-stand desk is a popular way of helping people get upright. But how effective is it?
Dozens of studies have been run on the potential health effects of sit-stand desks. A recent review, led by Visier Alfonso at University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain and published in BMC Public Health in May, selected 17 for examination. Alfonso limited her analysis to those that looked mainly at university students.
Of the four studies that looked at mental health, three confirmed that sit-stand desk use reduced anxiety and improved mood. Of the four on back pain, however, only one revealed significant pain reduction among sit-stand desk users. The one study Alfonso found that looked at the cardiovascular and metabolic (新陈代谢的) benefits of sit-stand desks suggested that they do result in users having lower blood pressure.
Studies conducted on more varied groups reach different conclusions. A general review of over 50 papers on sit-stand desk use, led by April Chambers at the University of Pittsburgh and published in Applied Ergonomics in 2019, found only weak evidence that their use improves cardiovascular health.
Analysis of other health-related biomarkers was also no different in most studies. This suggested that the desks were not providing metabolic benefits that might prevent diseases like type 2 diabetes. What’s more, Dr Chambers found no evidence that their use influenced mood.
However, notable benefits did emerge in the area of lower-back pain. Of 17 papers that studied this question, eight revealed evidence that giving participants the option to stand significantly reduced their lower-back pain. This suggests that standing may help some people with this condition, an effect that may be more noticeable among people past university age.
So what is sit-stand desk to do? Both reviews agree that no significant harm is associated with the use of sit-stand desks. And although some of the differences between their conclusions may come from chance or sample size, it is also possible that different benefits go to users of different ages.
12. What is the author’s primary purpose in mentioning the two reviews?
A. To highlight a scientific agreement.
B. To present conflicting research findings.
C. To illustrate the evolution of desk design.
D. To underscore the risks of inactive behavior.
13. What might explain the different conclusions between the two reviews?
A Variations in research duration. B. The age groups studied.
C. The types of desks used. D. Levels of participants’ activity.
14. Regarding sit-stand desks, which conclusion is best supported by the text?
A. They offer clear metabolic advantages.
B. Their psychological benefits are undeniable.
C. They pose no significant health risks.
D. Their effectiveness for back pain is strongest.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Standing Solution B. To Stand or Not to Stand?
C. The Truth About Sit-Stand Desks D. The End of Sitting?
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍关于站立式办公桌对健康影响的两项研究综述,对比其不同结论,分析该办公设备的实际效果与适用情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Of the four studies that looked at mental health, three confirmed that sit-stand desk use reduced anxiety and improved mood. Of the four on back pain, however, only one revealed significant pain reduction among sit-stand desk users. The one study Alfonso found that looked at the cardiovascular and metabolic (新陈代谢的) benefits of sit-stand desks suggested that they do result in users having lower blood pressure.(在四项关注心理健康的研究中,有三项证实使用升降桌能减轻焦虑、改善情绪。然而,在四项针对背痛的研究中,只有一项显示使用升降桌的人群背痛症状显著缓解。阿方索找到的那项研究升降桌对心血管和新陈代谢益处的实验表明,升降桌确实能降低使用者的血压)”以及第四段中的“A general review of over 50 papers on sit-stand desk use, led by April Chambers at the University of Pittsburgh and published in Applied Ergonomics in 2019, found only weak evidence that their use improves cardiovascular health. (美国匹兹堡大学的埃普丽尔·钱伯斯牵头、于2019年发表在《应用人类工程学》期刊上的一项涵盖50多篇关于站立式办公桌使用研究的综合综述发现,几乎没有确凿证据表明使用这类办公桌能改善心血管健康。)”可知,作者提及两项综述是为了呈现它们关于站立式办公桌健康影响的矛盾研究结论。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Alfonso limited her analysis to those that looked mainly at university students. (阿方索将分析范围限定在那些主要以大学生为研究对象的研究上。)”、第四段中的“Studies conducted on more varied groups reach different conclusions. (以更广泛人群为研究对象的研究得出了不同的结论。)”以及第七段中的“And although some of the differences between their conclusions may come from chance or sample size, it is also possible that different benefits go to users of different ages. (尽管他们结论之间的部分差异可能源于偶然因素或样本规模,但不同年龄段的使用者也有可能会获得不同的益处。)”可知,两项综述结论不同的原因可能是研究的年龄群体不同。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Both reviews agree that no significant harm is associated with the use of sit-stand desks. (两项综述均认为,使用站立式办公桌不会带来明显的健康危害。)”可知,关于站立式办公桌,最有依据的结论是它们不会造成显著的健康风险。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章围绕站立式办公桌展开,介绍了两项针对其健康影响的研究综述,对比了它们的不同结论,分析了该设备的利弊及适用情况,核心是揭示站立式办公桌的实际效果真相,所以“关于坐站两用桌的真相”适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

As a teacher, I’m constantly impressed by the excitement that students show about creating stories. This article will detail the steps for helping students reflect on authors’ writings and take steps toward their own creation.
Sharing mentor (导师) voices. After conducting over 800 interviews with authors, I’ve concluded that it’s vital to expose students to a variety of authors. ____16____ Each choice on a page is intentional and is often crafted from a piece of an author’s life. Having the opportunity to hear authors speak also shows students that writing involves real people.
____17____ After looking at the words of authors I next work with students to expand their thinking about the stories they have with them. I often use transition (过渡) words in a whole class, student-to-student storytelling activity. ____18____ The process is like a write-around in which I or a student volunteer begins the story, and then it’s passed around line by line. By emphasizing the importance of transitions, students can see how a story can progress logically.
Developing a “beat sheet”. From the initial brainstorming, the beats of a story begin to come together. One of the key aspects of writing is planning. ____19____ Either can result in a strong story, but the improvisational (即兴) writing approach can often lead to much more rewriting. Students can craft a “beat sheet”, where they can trace how characters change and what makes them change.
Conclusion zone: “publication”. Students can then explore sharing their story in some way. ____20____ Anthology (作品集) projects can be a class project where examples of writing can be collected and shared. While publication isn’t the end-all, be-all of writing, it is rewarding.
A. Encouraging the students to think.
B. Focusing on lines to push the story.
C. There are writers who plan and those who don’t.
D. The path to publication can be an activity in class.

根据上文“Developing a “beat sheet”. From the initial brainstorming, the beats of a story begin to come together. One of the key aspects of writing is planning.(制定“情节大纲”。在最初的头脑风暴阶段之后,故事的各个情节便开始逐渐成形。写作的一个关键方面在于规划)”以及下文“Either can result in a strong story, but the improvisational (即兴) writing approach can often lead to much more rewriting. Students can craft a “beat sheet”, where they can trace how characters change and what makes them change.(这两种方法都能创作出精彩的故事,但即兴写作的方式往往需要进行更多的修改。学生们可以制定一个“情节表”,在其中记录角色的变化情况以及导致这些变化的因素)”可知,本段重点介绍“情节规划表”的制定。空格前强调“规划是写作的关键方面”,C项“有的作家会规划,有的则不会”自然引出两种创作方式的对比,为下文说明即兴创作可能带来更多修改工作做好铺垫。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Conclusion zone: “publication”. Students can then explore sharing their story in some way.(结论部分:“出版”。至此,学生们便可以尝试以某种方式分享自己的故事了)”以及下文“Anthology (作品集) projects can be a class project where examples of writing can be collected and shared. While publication isn’t the end-all, be-all of writing, it is rewarding.(“作品集”类项目可以作为一门课程作业,用于收集并分享各类写作作品。虽然出版并非写作的终极目标,但却是很有意义的)”可知,本段讨论“发表”作为写作成果的展示。空格前提到学生可以探索分享故事的方式,D项“出版之路可以成为课堂活动”与下文“作品集项目可以作为班级项目”紧密衔接,具体说明了如何在课堂上实现“出版”概念。故选D项。

【答案】例文
Dear fellow students,
As the president of the Student Union, I am writing to express my concern about the lack of physical activity among us and to call for action.
Physical exercise is crucial not only for building a strong body but also for refreshing our minds and improving academic performance. Regular activity reduces stress and helps us concentrate better. Simple activities like jogging during breaks, playing basketball after class, or joining group exercises are easy to start. Even a daily 15-minute workout can make a difference.
Let’s take action now. Choose a sport you enjoy, invite friends to join, and make exercise a daily habit. A healthier lifestyle begins with each small step we take.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
As a sophomore (大二学生), Elizabeth Vaughan enrolled in a choir class. The first concert of the school year was to be a performance of songs from the musical Oliver and Vaughan landed a solo. She wasn’t nervous until the week before, when she discovered that the entire school would be in attendance.
On the day of the show, Vaughan was backstage, looking through the curtains to find the hall was filled with people. Everyone filed in: All the classes, upperclassmen and younger students. Also attended were janitors (看门人), lunch ladies and parents. It was just packed.
The curtain opened and the choir began to sing. Vaughan looked out at the faces in the crowd and noticed that some of their eyes were filled with disinterest. Then she noticed something else: a single microphone standing at the front of the stage, lit by a bright spotlight, ready for her solo. It was a problem she hadn’t anticipated: their choir teacher had never taught them how to sing into a microphone.
And yet it was Vaughan’s turn to sing. The teacher motioned for her to go up in front of the stage and so she walked right up in front of that microphone.
Despite her uncertainty, her solo began smoothly. She felt excited, singing so confidently in front of everyone. Then she got to the big finale—the last high note. With her lips nearly touching the microphone, the note came exploding out of the speakers, ear-piercing and deafeningly loud. She looked out at the audience and every single person—involuntarily, their heads snapped back in their chairs. Some of them had their jaws dropped wide open.
Vaughan wanted the stage to open up and swallow her whole.
The school day was only half over by the time the concert ended, so Vaughan had to go back to class. Walking along the hallway, her eyes downcast, she spotted a pair of large athletic shoes. She stopped and she looked up into the face of the new guy. He was a senior. And she had never met him, but she was just preparing herself for the embarrassment of what he was about to say.
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。
The student smiled and said something she still remembers until today.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Inspired by the student’s confidence in her, Vaughan went on to study music.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
The student smiled and said something she still remembers until today. “You have a very powerful voice; I like it so much. It cheers me up and gives me strength.” he said in a sincere tone. Vaughan’s face lit up. Before she could say thanks to the senior, he said goodbye and disappeared into the crowd. Vaughan felt confidence rising from inside her. She went from deciding she would never sing in front of people again as long as she lived to considering that maybe she could sing and yeah, believing she had a powerful voice.
Inspired by the student’s confidence in her, Vaughan went on to study music. She’s now a professional singer-songwriter, performing almost every weekend in three bands throughout the country. She has found herself thinking more and more about her unsung hero. His small act of grace is a reminder that a few kind words can change the course of a life. “If he were standing right in front of me today, I would say, ‘Thank you so much,’” Vaughan said. “Thank you for giving me the passion for music and making it OK for me to pursue it. You really made a difference at a critical moment.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以一次失败的独唱经历及他人的鼓励为线索展开,讲述了大二学生Vaughan在合唱演出的独唱环节出现失误陷入窘迫,却因一位陌生学长的善意夸赞重拾信心,最终走上音乐道路的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那位学生微笑着说了一些她至今仍记得的话”可知,第一段可描写这位学长具体说了什么鼓励的话,以及这些话如何瞬间改变了Vaughan的心情和自我认知,从羞愧转变为重拾信心。
②由第二段首句内容“在那位学生给予她信心的激励下,Vaughan继续学习了音乐”可知,第二段可描写这次鼓励对她的深远影响,包括她如何以此为动力走上专业道路、取得成就,以及她对那位学长的感激之情,并升华主题。
2. 续写线索:学长微笑鼓励——Vaughan情绪转变——内心重拾信心——决定改变(从放弃到相信自己)——受激励追求音乐——成为专业音乐人——时常怀念并感激那位学长——感悟善良话语的力量——直接表达感激之情。
3. 词汇激活

Two British women have completed an 8,000 nautical mile (15,00 km) journey across the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Cairns, Australia.
Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne arrived at Cairns Yacht Club on Saturday evening, when they were greeted by family and friends.
“Those final few hours were brutal (糟糕),” Rowe said. “We honestly thought we weren’t going to make it. To finally be here, after talking about it for so long, just feels incredible.”
Rowe, 28, and Payne, 25, pushed off from Lima, Peru, on 5 May. They set a record as the first female team and the youngest to row across the Pacific, non-stop and supported. Over 165 days at sea, they averaged 50 nautical miles a day, rowing in tandem (协力) during the day, with one rowing at night while her crewmate slept in a small cabin.
Kept alive with 400 kg of mostly freeze-dried food, a water desalinator (淡化机) and a growing unit for micro-greens, the pair relied on a solar energy system for a fraction of the power they needed. For much of their journey, they had no navigation equipment or beacon (灯塔), making them almost invisible to other ships.
They raised more than £86,000 for the Outward Bound Trust. Payne, from Yorkshire, had not been at sea until she rowed the Atlantic by herself in 2022 in a record time. There were moments when they feared they would not make it, she said. As early as day six, a journey across the world’s largest ocean felt impossible. “Every time something went wrong, we just looked at each other and went, ‘of course it has!’ But we kept going,” she said. Rowe, from Hampshire, had previously rowed across the Atlantic. “We had such a good time together, and we’re already excited to plan new adventures together,” she said.
4. What are the unique aspects of Rowe and Payne’s achievement?
A. Being the first to cross the Pacific. B. Being the fastest to complete the journey.
C. Their success without any modern tools. D. Their age and gender in a non-stop row.
5. What was a significant safety risk during their rowing?
A. Insufficient food supply. B. Lack of communication devices.
C. Being undetectable to ships. D. Frequent power system failures.
6 What can we learn about Payne’s past experience?
A. She had no rowing experience prior to 2022.
B. She found the Pacific trip easier than expected.
C. She had previously crossed an ocean with Rowe.
D. She was more experienced than Rowe before the trip.
7. Which of the following can best describe the two women?
A. Pessimistic and cautious. B. Tough and adventurous.
C. Competitive and ambitious. D. Independent and humorous.
C
In a single year, one polar bear can leave roughly 300 kilograms of food for other animals to dine on. Altogether, polar bears provide 7.6 million kilograms of carrion (腐肉) for other animals throughout the Arctic, researchers estimate.
The findings highlight the crucial role these “top hunters” play in feeding a vast variety of species and predict that food web might be destabilized as climate change warms the Arctic, endangering polar bear populations.
Scientists have long known that polar bears typically eat part of the prey (猎物) — usually seals — then leave the rest. However, the importance of those leftovers has been long overlooked, says Nicholas Pilfold, a scientist at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.
Pilfold and colleagues dove into studies and observations of carrion consumption around leftovers dating as far back as the 1930s. The team also analyzed studies on how many calories seals can provide and how many seals polar bears consume.
A polar bear kills roughly one seal every three to five days, which equals about 1,000 kilograms of food every year. A bear eats a majority of that mass, leaving some 30 percent up for grabs. Considering there are an estimated 26,000 polar bears in the Arctic, all those leftovers add up to millions of kilograms of leftovers, including arctic foxes, wolves and gulls.
Jon Aars, a polar bear expert at the Norwegian Polar Institute, says the findings come as no surprise. “The leftovers are a ‘rather important’ food source for other species, particularly at a time when alternative food is not so easy to get,” he says.
But the Arctic is warming, affecting polar bear populations and, in turn, their leftovers. “If we’re going to start to see declines in polar bears, we’re likely going to see declines in that carrion biomass,” Pilfold says.
“It’s difficult to predict the effect that the decrease of polar bears’ carrion might have on other species,” Aars says. “But it will have an impact one way or another, depending on which species and which part of the Arctic we look at.”
8. What does the underlined word “destabilized” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Enlarged. B. Simplified. C. Restored. D. Shaken.
9. How did Pilfold and his team conduct their research?
A. Through long-term field observations. B. By reviewing past data and seal energy.
C. By focusing on the needs of other animals. D. By estimating the annual decline in carrion.
10. What will happen if polar bear populations decline?
A. Food supply for other animals will lessen.
B. The seal population will increase rapidly.
C. Arctic foxes will become the top hunters.
D. Competition among polar bears will decrease.
11. What is Jon Aars’s attitude toward the findings of the study?
A. Surprised and doubtful. B. Indifferent and dismissive.
C. Accepting and concerned. D. Confident and certain.
D
The risks associated with sitting lead many health authorities to warn against spending too much time doing so. The sit-stand desk is a popular way of helping people get upright. But how effective is it?
Dozens of studies have been run on the potential health effects of sit-stand desks. A recent review, led by Visier Alfonso at University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain and published in BMC Public Health in May, selected 17 for examination. Alfonso limited her analysis to those that looked mainly at university students.
Of the four studies that looked at mental health, three confirmed that sit-stand desk use reduced anxiety and improved mood. Of the four on back pain, however, only one revealed significant pain reduction among sit-stand desk users. The one study Alfonso found that looked at the cardiovascular and metabolic (新陈代谢的) benefits of sit-stand desks suggested that they do result in users having lower blood pressure.
Studies conducted on more varied groups reach different conclusions. A general review of over 50 papers on sit-stand desk use, led by April Chambers at the University of Pittsburgh and published in Applied Ergonomics in 2019, found only weak evidence that their use improves cardiovascular health.
Analysis of other health-related biomarkers was also no different in most studies. This suggested that the desks were not providing metabolic benefits that might prevent diseases like type 2 diabetes. What’s more, Dr Chambers found no evidence that their use influenced mood.
However, notable benefits did emerge in the area of lower-back pain. Of 17 papers that studied this question, eight revealed evidence that giving participants the option to stand significantly reduced their lower-back pain. This suggests that standing may help some people with this condition, an effect that may be more noticeable among people past university age.
So what is sit-stand desk to do? Both reviews agree that no significant harm is associated with the use of sit-stand desks. And although some of the differences between their conclusions may come from chance or sample size, it is also possible that different benefits go to users of different ages.
12. What is the author’s primary purpose in mentioning the two reviews?
A. To highlight a scientific agreement.
B. To present conflicting research findings.
C. To illustrate the evolution of desk design.
D. To underscore the risks of inactive behavior.
13. What might explain the different conclusions between the two reviews?
A. Variations in research duration. B. The age groups studied.
C. The types of desks used. D. Levels of participants’ activity.
14. Regarding sit-stand desks, which conclusion is best supported by the text?
A. They offer clear metabolic advantages.
B. Their psychological benefits are undeniable.
C. They pose no significant health risks.
D. Their effectiveness for back pain is strongest.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Standing Solution B. To Stand or Not to Stand?
C. The Truth About Sit-Stand Desks D. The End of Sitting?

As a teacher, I’m constantly impressed by the excitement that students show about creating stories. This article will detail the steps for helping students reflect on authors’ writings and take steps toward their own creation.
Sharing mentor (导师) voices. After conducting over 800 interviews with authors, I’ve concluded that it’s vital to expose students to a variety of authors. ____16____ Each choice on a page is intentional and is often crafted from a piece of an author’s life. Having the opportunity to hear authors speak also shows students that writing involves real people.
____17____ After looking at the words of authors, I next work with students to expand their thinking about the stories they have with them. I often use transition (过渡) words in a whole class, student-to-student storytelling activity. ____18____ The process is like a write-around in which I or a student volunteer begins the story, and then it’s passed around line by line. By emphasizing the importance of transitions, students can see how a story can progress logically.
Developing a “beat sheet”. From the initial brainstorming, the beats of a story begin to come together. One of the key aspects of writing is planning. ____19____ Either can result in a strong story, but the improvisational (即兴) writing approach can often lead to much more rewriting. Students can craft a “beat sheet”, where they can trace how characters change and what makes them change.
Conclusion zone: “publication”. Students can then explore sharing their story in some way. ____20____ Anthology (作品集) projects can be a class project where examples of writing can be collected and shared. While publication isn’t the end-all, be-all of writing, it is rewarding.
A. Encouraging the students to think.
B. Focusing on lines to push the story.
C. There are writers who plan and those who don’t.
D. The path to publication can be an activity in class.
E. More power can be found in exploring the stories authors share.
F. Writers can decide the elements in a story in a beat sheet approach.
G. This method helps young writers come up with what to write next.

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。
As a sophomore (大二学生), Elizabeth Vaughan enrolled in a choir class. The first concert of the school year was to be a performance of songs from the musical Oliver and Vaughan landed a solo. She wasn’t nervous until the week before, when she discovered that the entire school would be in attendance.
On the day of the show, Vaughan was backstage, looking through the curtains to find the hall was filled with people. Everyone filed in: All the classes, upperclassmen and younger students. Also attended were janitors (看门人), lunch ladies and parents. It was just packed.
The curtain opened and the choir began to sing. Vaughan looked out at the faces in the crowd and noticed that some of their eyes were filled with disinterest. Then she noticed something else: a single microphone standing at the front of the stage, lit by a bright spotlight, ready for her solo. It was a problem she hadn’t anticipated: their choir teacher had never taught them how to sing into a microphone.
And yet it was Vaughan’s turn to sing. The teacher motioned for her to go up in front of the stage and so she walked right up in front of that microphone.
Despite her uncertainty, her solo began smoothly. She felt excited, singing so confidently in front of everyone. Then she got to the big finale—the last high note. With her lips nearly touching the microphone, the note came exploding out of the speakers, ear-piercing and deafeningly loud. She looked out at the audience and every single person—involuntarily, their heads snapped back in their chairs. Some of them had their jaws dropped wide open.
Vaughan wanted the stage to open up and swallow her whole.
The school day was only half over by the time the concert ended, so Vaughan had to go back to class. Walking along the hallway, her eyes downcast, she spotted a pair of large athletic shoes. She stopped and she looked up into the face of the new guy. He was a senior. And she had never met him, but she was just preparing herself for the embarrassment of what he was about to say.
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。
The student smiled and said something she still remembers until today.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Inspired by the student’s confidence in her, Vaughan went on to study music.
