A Chinese student studying in the UK shared a heartwarming story online about her tutor who quit her job to pursue a unique mission: knitting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. The tutor’s email reply to the student read, “Thank you for your email. I have left to pursue my dream of making sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office on a permanent, indefinite, open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy. “
This act of kindness is part of a larger charity initiative that began after a major oil spill near Phillip Island, Australia, in the late 1990s. The spill severely affected the local penguin population, leading to a decline in their numbers and health over the following breeding seasons. When little penguins become oiled, they will try to clean the poisonous oil from their feathers with their beaks (喙), and ingesting it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.
In response to such incidents, the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a campaign urging knitting enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the affected penguins. These sweaters serve a dual purpose: they provide temporary warmth and prevent the penguins from reaching their oily feathers with their beaks. The last significant oil spill around Phillip Island occurred in 2001, affecting 438 little penguins. With the help of these sweaters, 96% of then were successfully rescued and released back into the wild.
The penguin jumper program has been running for over 20 years, and during this time, more than 200, 000 sweaters have been knitted for penguins by generous knitters across the globe.
While some argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra pressure to the penguins’ bodies or cause them to overheat, the Penguin Foundation explains that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover. Besides, penguins need sweaters made of all woo. Only those sweaters that meet the standard for wear can be received by the Penguin Foundation.
4. Why did the tutor quit her job?
A. She was more attracted to knitting.
B. She decided to protect penguins in Antarctica.
C. She was dissatisfied with the School of Economics.
D. She was offered a position at the Penguin Foundation.
5. What does the underlined word “ingesting” mean in the paragraph 2?
A. Taking in. B. Feeding on. C. Breathing in. D. Sweeping away.
6. What harm will the oil spill cause to the penguins?
A. It will make them overheated. B. It will pose a threat to their survival.
C. It will make them more visible to the hunters. D. It will make them overweight and unhealthy.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the article?
A. Antarctic Penguins: A Call for Sweaters.
B. Knitting for Conservation: A Global Issue.
C. Antarctic Oil Spills: A Disaster on Penguins.
D. Warmth in Every Stitch: Tutor Quits for Penguins.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】

CATL, the world’s largest battery manufacturer for electric vehicles, has recently announced a series of technological breakthroughs that promise to enhance the performance and competitiveness of electric cars. The Chinese company has successfully developed new generation batteries that are not only more affordable and lighter but also feature remarkably faster charging capabilities. These advanced batteries demonstrate superior performance in cold weather conditions and provide substantially extended driving range (续航里程), addressing some of the most common concerns among potential electric vehicle consumers.
The most notable innovation involves a revolutionary auxiliary (辅助的) battery system that completely eliminates graphite (石墨) components. This cutting-edge technology achieves an impressive 60% increase in energy storage capacity within the same physical space, offering automakers the flexibility to either significantly extend the vehicle’s driving distance or create additional cabin space for passengers. The auxiliary system also serves as a reliable backup power source, ensuring continuous operation of critical systems like autonomous driving features that require uninterrupted power supply. However, these graphite-free batteries do present certain limitations, including comparatively slower charging rates and reduced overall lifespan, which is why they are specifically designed for supplementary use during extended journeys rather than as primary power sources.
Complementing these developments, CATL has introduced an ultra-fast charging solution that can restore 520 kilometers of driving range in just five minutes. Furthermore, the company has pioneered sodium-ion (钠离子) battery technology that maintains over 90% of its charge capacity even in extreme cold temperatures of -40℃, making these batteries particularly suitable for regions with harsh winter conditions where conventional batteries typically underperform. The initial application of these sodium- ion batteries will be in freight trucks operating in northern China’s coldest regions.
To validate the safety and reliability of their new batteries, CATL conducted comprehensive stress tests, demonstrating that even when subjected to severe damage including nail penetration (穿刺) and power saw cutting, the batteries neither caught fire nor exploded, providing strong evidence of their safety under extreme conditions. Interestingly, just five years ago, the company had argued such extreme tests were unrealistic.
8. What can we know about CATL’s new generation batteries from the first paragraph?
A. They mainly focus on improving battery appearance design.
B. They aim to solve common concerns of electric vehicles.
C. They are specifically designed for luxury car models only.
D. They sacrifice performance for lower production costs.

D
For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it?
Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries.
However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. Once researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately.
In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it.
The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought.
This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a puzzle.
C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher.
13. What is the key finding of the European researchers’ study?
A. Plant cells contain special proteins that respond to light.
B. Arabidopsis has a unique genetic structure for light sensing.
C. Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues.
D. Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction.
14. What is the significance of the research findings?
A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants’ passive growth pattern.
C. They challenge traditional views of plants. D. They confirm Aristotle’s theory about plants.
15. What might be the future impact of this research?
A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors.
C. Stronger leaf formation. D. More robot production.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了故宫博物院专家对历经数个世纪风雨的匾额进行修复的工作情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国故宫博物院,专家们正忙于修复一块历经数个世纪风雨侵蚀的匾额。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰a plaque,a plaque与weather(使受风吹雨打;侵蚀)之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词weathered。故填weathered。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:据该团队副组长马越介绍,这幅书法作品由承载墨水的丝绸层和支撑它的纸张层组成。此处表示并列关系,连接两个名词短语“a silk layer carrying the ink”和“a paper layer supporting it”,所以用连词and。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:技术手段发挥了作用,帮助专家们分析古人使用的墨水和丝绸的成分,并寻找历史上一致的材料。句子已有谓语动词come,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,Technological methods与help之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词helping。故填helping。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:马越说,对于一些磨损严重的部分,他们用数字技术制作了复制品,而修复后的原件将被存放起来。此处修饰形容词worn,应用副词形式,severe的副词为severely,意为“严重地”。故填severely。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于古代书画,装裱方法和修复技术是一项国家级非物质文化遗产。此处泛指“一项国家级非物质文化遗产”,第一次提到,用不定冠词修饰。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:加入我们团队的各个专业的毕业生必须在他们师傅的指导下训练三年,磨炼他们的装裱和修复技能。under one's guidance为固定短语,意为“在某人的指导下”,所以用介词under。故填under。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:我们的修复人员就是这样培养出来的。句子主语our restorers与cultivate之间是被动关系,且根据语境,此处描述的是一般情况,应用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”,主语是复数,所以用are cultivated。故填are cultivated。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:近年来,更多年轻的专业人士加入了博物馆的修复团队,包括34岁来自金属文物组的金大钊。根据语境,此处表示“专业人士”,应用名词形式professional,且由more可知,应用复数形式professionals。故填professionals。
【44题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:金认为,修复文物不仅仅是修补破损的东西,而是延续人类创造力和记忆的链条。此处为宾语从句,作mending的宾语,从句中缺少主语,且指物,所以用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他补充道:“通过每一次仔细的笔触和打磨,我们让历史再次焕发生机。”enable sb./sth. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“使某人/某物能够做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式to breathe。故填to breathe。

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。
It was the last day before moving into the new house. Mr. and Mrs. Martin wanted to make it warm and lovely, so they decided to do some decorating themselves. That morning, Mrs. Martin stood at the door, reminding her busy husband. “Don’t climb too high, don’t move heavy boxes, and don’t forget to rest,” she said again and again, before she eventually headed out to buy curtains.
Earlier, their daughter Emily had called. She said she was tied up with her job in another city, but promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll celebrate together soon.” The couple missed her, of course, but they smiled at each other and agreed it would be meaningful to get the new home ready, a warm welcome awaiting their daughter’s arrival.
Mr. Martin waved goodbye to his wife and went back to his decorating work, confident and full of energy at first. But soon the living room turned into a battlefield. Boxes, nails, a hammer and screwdrivers lay everywhere. Paint splashed onto the floor, and the wall looked like a child’s drawing. And several photo frames were scattered on the ground.
“A spider!” Mr. Martin climbed onto a shaky stool to chase it away-his wife hated those things — but instead he slipped and broke a photo frame. “Ouch, my back!” he groaned, sweat trickling down his forehead. He began to wonder whether he was really able to do this job alone.
Then came a sharp smell from the kitchen. “Oh no, my cake!” Mr. Martin dragged himself to open the oven. The cake, which he had planned to surprise his wife, was now nothing but a hard black rock. He stared at it, shaking his head. “Should I admit the mess? Or pretend nothing happened?” he whispered. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Mrs. Martin stepped inside with the new curtains in her arms.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen.

Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. Her eyes widened at the messy living room — paint splatters on the floor, scattered tools, and the broken photo frame. When she spotted the blackened cake in the oven, she let out a soft sigh. Mr. Martin lowered his head in shame, ready for criticism. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Martin walked over and gently touched his back. “Are you hurt?” she asked worriedly. Then she smiled, “We’re decorating a home, not building a palace. Mess is part of the fun.” Together, they started cleaning up, with Mr. Martin sharing his clumsy attempts to chase the spider.
Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. It was Emily, holding a big bunch of flowers. She stepped inside and gasped, “Wow, it feels like home already!” Her eyes fell on the slightly messy but warm room, and then on the black cake. Mr. Martin scratched his head awkwardly, but Emily laughed and said, “I love it — it’s full of your love.” That evening, they ordered takeout, talked and laughed while arranging photo frames. The messy living room, once a battlefield, had turned into the warmest corner of their new home.

A total of 500 people participated in the study. The findings are illustrated in the accompanying pie chart:

Mr. Gang, 48: “AI worries me. After 25 years on the assembly line, I see smarter machines taking over. Too old to learn new tech easily. How will I support my family?”
While a majority of respondents foresee major employment shifts from AI, Mr. Liu, the chief editor of the magazine, highlights that active adaptation and a forward-looking mindset are crucial.

A Chinese student studying in the UK shared a heartwarming story online about her tutor who quit her job to pursue a unique mission: knitting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. The tutor’s email reply to the student read, “Thank you for your email. I have left to pursue my dream of making sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office on a permanent, indefinite, open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy. “
This act of kindness is part of a larger charity initiative that began after a major oil spill near Phillip Island, Australia, in the late 1990s. The spill severely affected the local penguin population, leading to a decline in their numbers and health over the following breeding seasons. When little penguins become oiled, they will try to clean the poisonous oil from their feathers with their beaks (喙), and ingesting it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.
In response to such incidents, the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a campaign urging knitting enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the affected penguins. These sweaters serve a dual purpose: they provide temporary warmth and prevent the penguins from reaching their oily feathers with their beaks. The last significant oil spill around Phillip Island occurred in 2001, affecting 438 little penguins. With the help of these sweaters, 96% of then were successfully rescued and released back into the wild.
The penguin jumper program has been running for over 20 years, and during this time, more than 200, 000 sweaters have been knitted for penguins by generous knitters across the globe.
While some argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra pressure to the penguins’ bodies or cause them to overheat, the Penguin Foundation explains that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover. Besides, penguins need sweaters made of all woo. Only those sweaters that meet the standard for wear can be received by the Penguin Foundation.
4. Why did the tutor quit her job?
A. She was more attracted to knitting.
B. She decided to protect penguins in Antarctica.
C. She was dissatisfied with the School of Economics.

CATL, the world’s largest battery manufacturer for electric vehicles, has recently announced a series of technological breakthroughs that promise to enhance the performance and competitiveness of electric cars. The Chinese company has successfully developed new generation batteries that are not only more affordable and lighter but also feature remarkably faster charging capabilities. These advanced batteries demonstrate superior performance in cold weather conditions and provide substantially extended driving range (续航里程), addressing some of the most common concerns among potential electric vehicle consumers.
The most notable innovation involves a revolutionary auxiliary (辅助的) battery system that completely eliminates graphite (石墨) components. This cutting-edge technology achieves an impressive 60% increase in energy storage capacity within the same physical space, offering automakers the flexibility to either significantly extend the vehicle’s driving distance or create additional cabin space for passengers. The auxiliary system also serves as a reliable backup power source, ensuring continuous operation of critical systems like autonomous driving features that require uninterrupted power supply. However, these graphite-free batteries do present certain limitations, including comparatively slower charging rates and reduced overall lifespan, which is why they are specifically designed for supplementary use during extended journeys rather than as primary power sources.
Complementing these developments, CATL has introduced an ultra-fast charging solution that can restore 520 kilometers of driving range in just five minutes. Furthermore, the company has pioneered sodium-ion (钠离子) battery technology that maintains over 90% of its charge capacity even in extreme cold temperatures of -40℃, making these batteries particularly suitable for regions with harsh winter conditions where conventional batteries typically underperform. The initial application of these sodium- ion batteries will be in freight trucks operating in northern China’s coldest regions.
To validate the safety and reliability of their new batteries, CATL conducted comprehensive stress tests, demonstrating that even when subjected to severe damage including nail penetration (穿刺) and power saw cutting, the batteries neither caught fire nor exploded, providing strong evidence of their safety under extreme conditions. Interestingly, just five years ago, the company had argued such extreme tests were unrealistic.
8. What can we know about CATL’s new generation batteries from the first paragraph?
A. They mainly focus on improving battery appearance design.
B. They aim to solve common concerns of electric vehicles.
C. They are specifically designed for luxury car models only.
D. They sacrifice performance for lower production costs.
9. According to the passage, what is the main advantage of the auxiliary battery?
A. It uses cheaper materials to reduce production costs.
B. It charges significantly faster than conventional batteries.
C. It provides 60% more energy storage in the same space.
D. It lasts much longer than traditional battery systems.
10. What makes sodium-ion batteries suitable for cold regions?
A. Their ability to maintain charge capacity in extreme cold.
B. Their faster charging speed in low temperatures.
C. Their lower production cost compared to other batteries.
D. Their smaller size that fits various vehicle models.
11. What can be inferred from the safety tests?
A. CATL’s batteries are completely indestructible in accidents.
B. The company has made significant progress in battery safety.
C. All electric car batteries must pass such extreme tests.
D. Traditional batteries are safer than the new batteries.
D
For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it?
Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries.
However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. Once researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately.
In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it.
The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought.
This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a puzzle.
C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher.
13. What is the key finding of the European researchers’ study?
A. Plant cells contain special proteins that respond to light.
B. Arabidopsis has a unique genetic structure for light sensing.
C. Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues.
D. Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction.
14. What is the significance of the research findings?
A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants’ passive growth pattern.
C. They challenge traditional views of plants. D. They confirm Aristotle’s theory about plants.
15. What might be the future impact of this research?
A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors.
C. Stronger leaf formation. D. More robot production.

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。
It was the last day before moving into the new house. Mr. and Mrs. Martin wanted to make it warm and lovely, so they decided to do some decorating themselves. That morning, Mrs. Martin stood at the door, reminding her busy husband. “Don’t climb too high, don’t move heavy boxes, and don’t forget to rest,” she said again and again, before she eventually headed out to buy curtains.
Earlier, their daughter Emily had called. She said she was tied up with her job in another city, but promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll celebrate together soon.” The couple missed her, of course, but they smiled at each other and agreed it would be meaningful to get the new home ready, a warm welcome awaiting their daughter’s arrival.
Mr. Martin waved goodbye to his wife and went back to his decorating work, confident and full of energy at first. But soon the living room turned into a battlefield. Boxes, nails, a hammer and screwdrivers lay everywhere. Paint splashed onto the floor, and the wall looked like a child’s drawing. And several photo frames were scattered on the ground.
“A spider!” Mr. Martin climbed onto a shaky stool to chase it away-his wife hated those things — but instead he slipped and broke a photo frame. “Ouch, my back!” he groaned, sweat trickling down his forehead. He began to wonder whether he was really able to do this job alone.
Then came a sharp smell from the kitchen. “Oh no, my cake!” Mr. Martin dragged himself to open the oven. The cake, which he had planned to surprise his wife, was now nothing but a hard black rock. He stared at it, shaking his head. “Should I admit the mess? Or pretend nothing happened?” he whispered. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Mrs. Martin stepped inside with the new curtains in her arms.
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。
Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen.
