Finding low-cost sustainable (可持续的) building materials is important for the environment and in providing access to affordable housing. Researchers have created a composite (复合的) building material by replacing sand in building materials with a common, non-degradable (不可降解的) waste product: used disposable diapers (一次性尿布).
Driven by a desire to solve Indonesia’s significant population growth and demand for low-cost housing, researchers looked for a way of maintaining the benefits of building materials but making it more environmentally friendly and cheaper to produce. Building material samples containing different proportions (比例) of disposable diaper waste were tested. Then the researchers calculated the maximum (最多的) amount of sand that could be replaced with diaper waste, finding that up to 8% of the sand could be replaced to safely construct a house with 36 square meters. 10% of the sand could be replaced in a three-story house and 27% in a single-story house. In terms of the materials used to create partition walls (隔断墙), the researchers said they could replace up to 40% of sand.
“This research has concluded that adding used diapers to building materials does not significantly weaken its strength,” the team stated. “It proves using diapers to create composite materials is workable, particularly concerning the development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials.”
Indonesia is ranked sixth globally for disposable diaper usage. Many used diapers are thrown away in the country’s rivers and waterways, causing pollution. In 2019, the total waste in Indonesia was 29.21 million tons. This figure rose to 32.76 million tons in 2020.
However, the researchers know the current limitations of using waste diapers as a construction material. For one thing, it would require engagement with waste treatment facilities to collect used diapers from households and deal with them. Secondly, machines that cut up the used diapers would be needed on a large scale.
Nonetheless, the research highlights the potential for using non-degradable waste, addressing sustainability issues and providing low-cost housing.
4. Which is an advantage of replacing sand with used disposable diapers?
A. Lowering carbon footprint. B. Speeding up the construction of housing.
C. Increasing the weight of building materials. D. Improving the quality of building materials.
5. How does the author show the possibility of using diaper waste to replace sand?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing opinions. D. By quoting research findings.
6. According to paragraph 3, which word can best describe the research of using diapers to create composite materials?
A. Enormous B. Conservative (保守的) C. Practical D. Vital
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A Building Materials Are in Great Demand
B. Indonesia’s Awareness of Environmental Protection
C. A Further Study on Materials of Disposable Diapers
D. Waste Disposable Diapers Lay the Foundation for Future Homes
C
Central Park, located in the heart of Manhattan, New York City, is an urban park spanning 843 acres. It is the most visited urban park in the United States, with about 42 million visitors annually. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park was first opened in 1859 and has since become a symbol of natural beauty and recreational space amidst the city’s skyscrapers.
The creation of Central Park was a massive engineering feat. The landscape had to be completely transformed as the area was mostly swamps and rocky terrain. Workers moved nearly 5 million cubic yards of soil and planted over 270,000 trees and shrubs to create the peaceful landscapes we see today.
The park offers a wide range of activities for both locals and tourists. People can be seen jogging, cycling, or simply strolling along its many paths. Popular attractions include the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, the Strawberry Fields memorial dedicated to John Lennon, and the Central Park Zoo. In the winter, visitors can go ice-skating on Wollman Rink, while in the summer, they can enjoy boating on the Central Park Lake.
More than just a recreational area, Central Park serves as a vital “green lung” for the city, helping to improve air quality and provide a habitat for various species of birds and wildlife. It is a place where people can escape the fast pace of city life without ever leaving Manhattan.
8. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The design and importance of Central Park. B. The history of New York City’s architecture.
C. A biography of Central Park’s designers. D. The wildlife species living in Central Park.
9. According to the passage, why was the creation of Central Park considered a “massive engineering feat”?
A. Because it was the first park ever built in America.
B. Because the original landscape was challenging and had to be completely changed.
C. Because it was built by thousands of volunteers.
D. Because it houses the largest zoo in the United States.
10. Which of the following activities is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Ice-skating. B. Boating. C. Cycling. D. Swimming.
11. The phrase “green lung” (in the last paragraph) most likely means that the park ________.
A. is shaped like a human lung B. has trees with green leaves all year round
C. helps to purify the air in the city D. is a place for people to do breathing exercises
D
As summer approaches and tourism season begins, social media users will struggle to answer the age-old question: If you didn’t post about your vacation, did you really even go?
Though it may be difficult for some to escape work emails and update social media during vacation, the island of Ulko-Tammio in Finland is appealing to more and more visitors to be here to avoid their screens and explore nature wholeheartedly.
Claiming to be the world’s first phone-free tourist island, Ulko-Tammio is located in the Eastern Gulf of Finland and Finland has been named “world’s happiest country” for six years and, somewhat interestingly, is home to Nokia, the famous mobile phone brand.
“The island of Ulko-Tammio, located off the coast of Hamina, will be a phone-free area this summer,” an expert in island tourism at Visit Kotka-Hamina Mats Selin said. “We want to encourage holidaymakers to switch off their smart devices and to stop and fully enjoy the island.”
One of Finland’s 41 national parks, Ulko-Tammio is uninhabited by people, but is home to many rare birds and plants, which visitors can spot on a hike along the island’s nature trails or from the island’s bird tower.
Taking part in the campaign (运动) for tourists on Ulko-Tammio is voluntary and, since mobile network is still working on the island, the difficulty in avoiding smart devices will be ever-present.
However, the staff of Parks & Wildlife Finland, the company that manages the island, hopes that the campaign encourages tourists to stay away from smart devices and enjoy the scenery and fellow visitors.
“Turning off your phone, exploring nature and meeting people face-to-face will surely improve your mood and well-being,” psychologist and Research Manager at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare Sari Castrén said. “We spend countless hours focusing on our social media feeds, so taking a short break from them means you have more time for new experiences.”
12. What does the underlined words “appealing to” mean?
A. Attracting. B. Amazing. C. Alarming. D. Accounting.
13. What can we learn about the island of Ulko-Tammio?
A. It is home to a world-famous smartphone brand.
B. It prevents tourists from using any smart devices.
C. It aims to encourage tourists to totally enjoy nature.
D. It has been a phone-free tourist island for six years.
14. What is a challenge for the island’s tourists to avoid using phones?
A. Fellow visitors’ sharing. B. Some staff’s support.
C. Working mobile network. D. Free mobile phones.
15. What’s Sari Castrén’s attitude toward the island’s campaign?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Positive.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you have some habits like emotional (情绪的) eating or spending money to reduce stress? ____16____ Here we are coming to discuss some habit-breaking strategies (策略).
We first take an example. When you are in a movie theater with hot dogs, the movie theater is the invitation, and hot dog’s buying and eating are the behaviors.
The habit-breaking choices are: One, tell yourself “no hot dog” each time; two, avoid going to the movies at all; or three, exchange the hot dog with a new movie snack that you can afford or achieve your nutritional goals. The key to this strategy is to make sure that the new habit is similarly attractive. ____17____
Not every habit-breaking strategy works for every habit. For example, maybe you want to eat a piece of oil cake in the break room when you arrive at school. ____18____ Maybe, you might as well try to develop a new habit of eating healthier breakfast food at the same time, instead.
____19____ The only way habit-breaking works is to use the strategy repeatedly. A 2009 study of 96 people in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed that individuals took between 18 and 254 days to form a habit.
Finally success isn’t perfection with habit breaking. Habit should be thought of as a continuum (连续体). Things become more or less habitual. ____20____ And you’ll know you’re making progress when you feel less influenced by the habit, not when it is gone.
A. Instead of erasing a habit, you need to reduce its impact.
B. Whichever strategy you choose, the key is to do it over and over.
C. A low-fat cookie or an after-work walk are more believable changes.
D. The way to break a habit depends on the behavior you want to prevent.
E. The behaviors are performed automatically in response to an invitation.
F. They can have negative effects in the long term and often need to be broken.
G. It won’t work to refuse the invitation, because you can’t stop going to class.

Taimur and Daniyal were twins and had been my next door neighbors since I was five years old. Not only did we go to the same school, but our evenings and weekends were spent together too. It was like we were inseparable. I never felt that I needed any friends other than them. Unexpectedly, one evening their parents shared the news of them moving to another country — Australia.
I was shocked to realize that we would never be together. I started recalling all the good times we had spent together, such as playing in the school breaks, the play dates, and all the fun things we did. Was it all going to end?
When we had been through so many highs and lows together, shared secrets and supported each other through thick and thin, their moving away felt like my heart was being taken away. The news of their departure left me feeling empty and lost.
I was thinking about the biggest change that I was going to face in a few days. It was a difficult pill to swallow, but I knew I must move on. Though it wasn’t easy at first, I was trying my level best to beat the mental pain I was in.
After hearing the news, every day felt like a struggle, the school didn’t feel the same; the lunch breaks had no purpose. Soon there would be no one to compare the test marks with, homework remarks would not excite me like before, and so on. I couldn’t help but feel lost and alone already.
For a few days, I even felt less confident while rehearsing (排练) for my performance at the upcoming school’s annual event. But what I learned at this point in life was that your family can be the strongest support when you don’t even realize it. Turn to your family for support if necessary. Reach out to people who care about you. Find meaningful connections and share how you feel.
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。
Seeing my condition, my family advised me to make the most of the time that was left before they moved.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Saying goodbye wasn’t easy, but it set my heart at ease to realize that we could still be the closest friends.

Building material samples containing different proportions (比例) of disposable diaper waste were tested. Then the researchers calculated the maximum (最多的) amount of sand that could be replaced with diaper waste, finding that up to 8% of the sand could be replaced to safely construct a house with 36 square meters. 10% of the sand could be replaced in a three-story house and 27% in a single-story house. In terms of the materials used to create partition walls (隔断墙), the researchers said they could replace up to 40% of sand.
“This research has concluded that adding used diapers to building materials does not significantly weaken its strength,” the team stated. “It proves using diapers to create composite materials is workable, particularly concerning the development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials.”
Indonesia is ranked sixth globally for disposable diaper usage. Many used diapers are thrown away in the country’s rivers and waterways, causing pollution. In 2019, the total waste in Indonesia was 29.21 million tons. This figure rose to 32.76 million tons in 2020.
However, the researchers know the current limitations of using waste diapers as a construction material. For one thing, it would require engagement with waste treatment facilities to collect used diapers from households and deal with them. Secondly, machines that cut up the used diapers would be needed on a large scale.
Nonetheless, the research highlights the potential for using non-degradable waste, addressing sustainability issues and providing low-cost housing.
4. Which is an advantage of replacing sand with used disposable diapers?
A. Lowering carbon footprint. B. Speeding up the construction of housing.
C. Increasing the weight of building materials. D. Improving the quality of building materials.
5. How does the author show the possibility of using diaper waste to replace sand?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing opinions. D. By quoting research findings.
6. According to paragraph 3, which word can best describe the research of using diapers to create composite materials?
A. Enormous B. Conservative (保守的) C. Practical D. Vital
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Building Materials Are in Great Demand

Central Park, located in the heart of Manhattan, New York City, is an urban park spanning 843 acres. It is the most visited urban park in the United States, with about 42 million visitors annually. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park was first opened in 1859 and has since become a symbol of natural beauty and recreational space amidst the city’s skyscrapers.
The creation of Central Park was a massive engineering feat. The landscape had to be completely transformed, as the area was mostly swamps and rocky terrain. Workers moved nearly 5 million cubic yards of soil and planted over 270,000 trees and shrubs to create the peaceful landscapes we see today.
The park offers a wide range of activities for both locals and tourists. People can be seen jogging, cycling, or simply strolling along its many paths. Popular attractions include the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, the Strawberry Fields memorial dedicated to John Lennon, and the Central Park Zoo. In the winter, visitors can go ice-skating on Wollman Rink, while in the summer, they can enjoy boating on the Central Park Lake.
More than just a recreational area, Central Park serves as a vital “green lung” for the city, helping to improve air quality and provide a habitat for various species of birds and wildlife. It is a place where people can escape the fast pace of city life without ever leaving Manhattan.

As summer approaches and tourism season begins, social media users will struggle to answer the age-old question: If you didn’t post about your vacation, did you really even go?
Though it may be difficult for some to escape work emails and update social media during vacation, the island of Ulko-Tammio in Finland is appealing to more and more visitors to be here to avoid their screens and explore nature wholeheartedly.
Claiming to be the world’s first phone-free tourist island, Ulko-Tammio is located in the Eastern Gulf of Finland and Finland has been named “world’s happiest country” for six years and, somewhat interestingly, is home to Nokia, the famous mobile phone brand.
“The island of Ulko-Tammio, located off the coast of Hamina, will be a phone-free area this summer,” an expert in island tourism at Visit Kotka-Hamina Mats Selin said. “We want to encourage holidaymakers to switch off their smart devices and to stop and fully enjoy the island.”
One of Finland’s 41 national parks, Ulko-Tammio is uninhabited by people, but is home to many rare birds and plants, which visitors can spot on a hike along the island’s nature trails or from the island’s bird tower.
Taking part in the campaign (运动) for tourists on Ulko-Tammio is voluntary and, since mobile network is still working on the island, the difficulty in avoiding smart devices will be ever-present.
However, the staff of Parks & Wildlife Finland, the company that manages the island, hopes that the campaign encourages tourists to stay away from smart devices and enjoy the scenery and fellow visitors.
“Turning off your phone, exploring nature and meeting people face-to-face will surely improve your mood and well-being,” psychologist and Research Manager at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare Sari Castrén said. “We spend countless hours focusing on our social media feeds, so taking a short break from them means you have more time for new experiences.”
12. What does the underlined words “appealing to” mean?
A. Attracting. B. Amazing. C. Alarming. D. Accounting.
13. What can we learn about the island of Ulko-Tammio?
A. It is home to a world-famous smartphone brand.
B. It prevents tourists from using any smart devices.
C. It aims to encourage tourists to totally enjoy nature.
D. It has been a phone-free tourist island for six years.
14. What is a challenge for the island’s tourists to avoid using phones?
A. Fellow visitors’ sharing. B. Some staff’s support.
C. Working mobile network. D. Free mobile phones.
15. What’s Sari Castrén’s attitude toward the island’s campaign?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Positive.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Turning off your phone, exploring nature and meeting people face-to-face will surely improve your mood and well-being(关掉手机、亲近自然、与人面对面交流,这些都会极大地改善你的心情和健康状况)”可知,Sari Castrén对该岛的活动持积极态度。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you have some habits like emotional (情绪的) eating or spending money to reduce stress? ____16____ Here we are coming to discuss some habit-breaking strategies (策略).
We first take an example. When you are in a movie theater with hot dogs, the movie theater is the invitation, and hot dog’s buying and eating are the behaviors.
The habit-breaking choices are: One, tell yourself “no hot dog” each time; two, avoid going to the movies at all; or three, exchange the hot dog with a new movie snack that you can afford or achieve your nutritional goals. The key to this strategy is to make sure that the new habit is similarly attractive. ____17____
Not every habit-breaking strategy works for every habit. For example, maybe you want to eat a piece of oil cake in the break room when you arrive at school. ____18____ Maybe, you might as well try to develop a new habit of eating healthier breakfast food at the same time, instead.
____19____ The only way habit-breaking works is to use the strategy repeatedly. A 2009 study of 96 people in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed that individuals took between 18 and 254 days to form a habit.
Finally, success isn’t perfection with habit breaking. Habit should be thought of as a continuum (连续体). Things become more or less habitual. ____20____ And you’ll know you’re making progress when you feel less influenced by the habit, not when it is gone.
A. Instead of erasing a habit, you need to reduce its impact.
B. Whichever strategy you choose the key is to do it over and over.
C. A low-fat cookie or an after-work walk are more believable changes.
D. The way to break a habit depends on the behavior you want to prevent.
E. The behaviors are performed automatically in response to an invitation.
F. They can have negative effects in the long term and often need to be broken.
G. It won’t work to refuse the invitation, because you can’t stop going to class.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些改掉坏习惯的策略。
【16题详解】
根据空前内容“Do you have some habits like emotional (情绪的) eating or spending money to reduce stress? (你是否有一些习惯,比如情绪化地吃东西或花钱来减压?)”可知,上文提到了坏习惯。选项F“They can have negative effects in the long term and often need to be broken.(从长远来看,它们可能会产生负面影响,通常需要改掉。)”延续上文内容,指的是这些习惯会有负面影响,同时引出下文内容“Here we are coming to discuss some habit-breaking strategies (策略).(下面我们来讨论一些改掉习惯的策略。)”。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文内容“The habit-breaking choices are: One, tell yourself “no hot dog” each time; two, avoid going to the movies at all; or three, exchange the hot dog with a new movie snack that you can afford or achieve your nutritional goals. The key to this strategy is to make sure that the new habit is similarly attractive.(改掉习惯的选择有:第一,每次都告诉自己“不要吃热狗”;第二,根本不要去看电影;第三,把热狗换成你能负担得起的新的电影零食,或者达到你的营养目标。这个策略的关键是确保新习惯同样有吸引力。)”可知,上文介绍了几种改掉在电影院吃热狗这一坏习惯的方法。选项C“A low-fat cookie or an after-work walk are more believable changes.(低脂饼干或下班后散步是更可信的改变。)”是上文内容的延续,指的是可以用低脂饼干替代热狗,或者就不去电影院,选择下班后散步。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Not every habit-breaking strategy works for every habit. For example, maybe you want to eat a piece of oil cake in the break room when you arrive at school.(不是每个改掉习惯的策略适用于所有的习惯。例如,当你到达学校时,也许你想在休息室吃一块油饼。)”可知,改掉习惯的策略应该是不适合所举例子。选项G“It won’t work to refuse the invitation, because you can’t stop going to class.(拒绝诱因是行不通的,因为你不能不去上课。)”是对例子进一步分析,解释为什么改掉习惯的策略不适合这种情况,因为你必须得上课(诱因一直存在)。从而引出另一种方法,即下文“Maybe, you might as well try to develop a new habit of eating healthier breakfast food at the same time, instead.(也许,你不妨试着养成一种新的习惯,同时吃更健康的早餐。)”,可以养成一种新的更好的习惯。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“The only way habit-breaking works is to use the strategy repeatedly. A 2009 study of 96 people in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed that individuals took between 18 and 254 days to form a habit.(改掉习惯的唯一方法就是反复使用这个策略。2009年发表在《欧洲社会心理学杂志》(European Journal of Social Psychology)上的一项对96人的研究表明,人们需要18到254天的时间来养成一个习惯。)”可知,不管使用什么策略,重在坚持,反复使用这个策略。选项B“Whichever strategy you choose, the key is to do it over and over.(无论你选择哪种策略,关键是要反复地做。)”与下文内容相一致。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据空后内容“And you’ll know you’re making progress when you feel less influenced by the habit, not when it is gone.(当你感觉不那么受这个习惯的影响时,而不是当它消失时,你就会知道你在进步。)”可知,当我们感到自己不那么受习惯影响的时候,我们就在进步。选项A“Instead of erasing a habit, you need to reduce its impact.(你需要减少习惯的影响,而不是消除习惯。)”与下文内容一致,指的都是我们需要减少习惯的影响。故选A。

【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:那头公牛绕着树踱来踱去,拖着那条沉重的铁链,铁链在树皮上划出了一道痕迹。pace around表示“围绕⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅踱来踱去”。故填around。
【42题详解】

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们剪断了绳子,留下了一个环套在树上,还有一根链子垂了下来。hang down和其逻辑主语one link是主谓关系,所以用现在分词表示主动,构成leave+宾语+现在分词。故填hanging down。

【答案】例文
The Most Valuable Lesson Learned from Diligent Study
Many believe diligent study is about achieving high marks, but for me, its greatest gift is the discovery of resilience.
Last year, I faced a daunting challenge: mastering advanced physics concepts. Despite nightly reviews, my test scores remained low. Frustration mounted. Instead of giving up, I chose to change my strategy. Months later, improvement was slow but steady. The moment of triumph wasn’t a perfect score, but the quiet confidence I felt when tackling a once-impossible problem.
I realized that diligent study is less about immediate victory and more about building the strength to persevere.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
52. 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。
Taimur and Daniyal were twins and had been my next door neighbors since I was five years old. Not only did we go to the same school, but our evenings and weekends were spent together too. It was like we were inseparable. I never felt that I needed any friends other than them. Unexpectedly, one evening their parents shared the news of them moving to another country — Australia.
I was shocked to realize that we would never be together. I started recalling all the good times we had spent together, such as playing in the school breaks, the play dates, and all the fun things we did. Was it all going to end?
When we had been through so many highs and lows together, shared secrets and supported each other through thick and thin, their moving away felt like my heart was being taken away. The news of their departure left me feeling empty and lost.
I was thinking about the biggest change that I was going to face in a few days. It was a difficult pill to swallow, but I knew I must move on. Though it wasn’t easy at first, I was trying my level best to beat the mental pain I was in.
After hearing the news, every day felt like a struggle, the school didn’t feel the same; the lunch breaks had no purpose. Soon there would be no one to compare the test marks with, homework remarks would not excite me like before, and so on. I couldn’t help but feel lost and alone already.
For a few days, I even felt less confident while rehearsing (排练) for my performance at the upcoming school’s annual event. But what I learned at this point in life was that your family can be the strongest support when you don’t even realize it. Turn to your family for support if necessary. Reach out to people who care about you. Find meaningful connections and share how you feel.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Seeing my condition, my family advised me to make the most of the time that was left before they moved. In their last ten days here, when they had quit school, we made a list of things we always planned on doing and, one by one, we did those things. We watched a movie, went out for lunch, baked a cake, and went for a picnic to a water park. We created more memories that would last a lifetime and we could look back on fondly. It was challenging to come to terms with the situation I was in, but my parents helped me realize that one way to help cope with emotions is to create memories.
Saying goodbye wasn’t easy, but it set my heart at ease to realize that we could still be the closest friends. Our parents kept us connected through online meetings once every week. They also encouraged sharing photos of activities we did on the weekends. In addition, my parents promised to take me to Sydney, Australia where my best friends are living this summer vacation. We will tour the Opera House, the Darling Harbor and so on together. All these efforts of my parents helped me regain my joyful self, and made me realize that the feeling of losing my friends was only in my mind, in reality, they will always be my closest friends, which can be tested by the distance.
