Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world.Rising temperatures might
boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas.Wheat and rice-which
benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere-could see growing output,while corn and sorghum could see a
decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
Farmers can change WHAT they plant.
Farmers can change WHERE crops are

we can do in the future.
21.What may farmers change if they are short of money and labour?
A.WHAT.
B.WHERE

D.HOW.
22.Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties?
A.Corn.

【答案】21.C22.B23.A
试卷第4页,共22页
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候变化下农民的应对策略及影响。
2l.细节理解题。根据表格中的内容“Farmers can change WHEN they plant.Farmers can plant earlier or later in
the year,depending on when spring arrives.Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.
改变种植时间。农民可以根据春天的到来时间在一年中早些或晚些种植。调整种植日期不需要额外的成本
或工作)”可知,如果农民资金和劳动力短缺,他们可以改变种植时间(WHEN)。故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据第一段中Wheat and rice一which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere一could see
growing output,.while corn and sorghum(高粱)could see a decline with warmer temperatures.(小麦和水稻受益于
大气中更多的二氧化碳,产量可能会增加,而玉米和高粱的产量可能会随着气温升高而下降)”以及表格中“O
a different variety of a specific crop.(或者是一种特定作物的不同品种)'可推测,如果农民种植改良品种,水稻
可能受益最多,因为原本它就会因大气中二氧化碳增多而增产,改良品种可能进一步促进其增产。故选B。
23.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If farmers in particular regions一especially those that are most food-insecure
-cannot adapt to climate change,this is still a major problem.So there is more we can do in the future.
地区(尤其是那些粮食最不安全的地区)的农民无法适应气候变化,这仍然是一个重大问题。所以我们未
来还可以做更多事情)”可推断,未来应该帮助有需要的农民。故选A。
B
Last summer at a bookstore,my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown's
middle-grade trilogy ()He then finished it in just two days."Dad,why did The Wild Robot have to be so
sad?"'He tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island,where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the
island's creatures,and becomes part of the community.For my son,it was the first book he discovered on his own;
the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy )and joy.
When I finished the book,I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion,he described how
Brown's pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes,where Roz leaves to
find repairs for her injured body,Hemy cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful,
"happily-ever-after"endings,but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain
how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments,but failed to fully persuade him.
Once our discussion ended,Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.
He read the first two books repeatedly,so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild
Robot Protects.
试卷第5页,共22页
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat:"the poison tide."
Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas-not just happiness and sadness,but
also,given the climate-change undercurrents(暗流),hope and despair.
And,here's something special about Roz:her physical clumsiness )and confusion about life,conveyed
through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place,
much like a child's journey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her.Even better,they learn alongside her.Roz gave
Henry the power to push through the first book's sad parts,getting him ready to appreciate that,sometimes,sadness
isn't a bad thing to feel.
24.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot?
A.Its attractive cover.
B.Henry's tearful recommendation.
C.Its tragic ending.
D.Henry's emotional reaction to it.
25.What is one theme of The Wild Robot Protects?
A.Family and society
B.Exploration of the ocean.
C.Concerns over global issues.
D.Man-robot relationship
26.What makes Roz in the trilogy special?
A.Her childlike expressions.
B.Her struggling experiences.
C.Her robotic power.
D.Her adventurous spirit.
27.Which message does this text seem to communicate?
A.Misfortune inspires great literary works.B.Robot stories work like magic on children
C.Book discussions help kids survive tragedies.D.Reading literature facilitates personal growth.
【答案】24.D

C
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park,New Mexico.This
cave is almost cut off from the outside world,so introducing anything foreign can be harmful."Things in the damp
cave get wet quickly,"says park guide Ashley.The snack attracts tiny organisms,causing unwanted growth.Soon,
small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat,spreading the pollution.Rangers found the bag within hours.
But that can be all it takes,"says Ashley."I'm sure some crickets got a bit of the snack."
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year,creating many chances to harm wild places.
"When you look at the numbers,it's incredible,"says Watts,head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado,an
organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down,especially in certain areas."It takes much longer for an apple
core to rot in a desert than in a forest,"says Blye,a teacher at the University of Utah.Leaving waste introduces
animals to an unnatural diet and alters their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.Bears who taste garbage
and become a threat to humans may have to be put down."Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,"
says Watts..“Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic.Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosy stem and scares away deer.
Meanwhile,human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks,trails are designed to avoid sensitive areas.Stepping off the trail,even for a quick
photo,can scare wildlife away.Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife.But
试卷第7页,共22页
people don't think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity."It's just such a hard thing to resist,"says
Blye.The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious."It's easy to think,oh,there's wildflowers over there.I
shouldn't step on that,"says Blye,but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life
provide many benefits,including reducing the risk of erosion (and helping absorb rainfall,and can take
hundreds of years to return to its original state.
28.What does Ashley mean by "But that can be all it takes."?
A.The rangers'work is efficient.
B.The damage has been done.
C.The cleanup takes a long time.
D.The pollution has spread widely.
29.What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A.A shift in animal behavior.
B.A shortage of food supplies.
C.A decline in bacterial species.
D.An increase in regional conflicts.
30.Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A.To praise their benefits to desert life.
B.To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C.To stress their significance for photography.
D.To show our unawareness of nature's sensitivity.
31.What is conveyed in this passage?
A.We should encourage wildlife protection.
B.We should leave no trace in the wild.
C.We should promote national park tourism.D.We should restore ecological damage.
【答案】28.B
29.A30.D31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类活动产生的垃圾等对公共土地生态系统造成的危害及相
关影响。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Rangers found the bag within hours.“But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley,
“T'm sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”(护林员在几小时内就找到了薯片袋。“但这可能就足够造成破坏
了,”阿什利说。“我肯定有些蟋蟀已经吃到了一点零食。”)”可知,尽管护林员很快找到了薯片袋,但部分
蟋蟀已经食用了零食,薯片袋带来的污染影响已经产生,即破坏已经造成。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and alters their behavior
with sometimes disastrous results.(丢弃的垃圾让动物接触到非自然的食物,改变了它们的行为,有时还会导
致灾难性的后果)”可知,公共土地上的外来垃圾会导致动物的行为发生改变。故选A项。
试卷第8页,共22页
30.推理判断题。根据第五段中的The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious.“It's easy to think,oh,there's
wildflowers over there.I shouldn't step on that,"says Blye,but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic
organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits including reducing the risk of erosion ()and helping
absorb rainfall,,and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.(敏感生态系统面临的危险并不明显。
布莱说:“人们很容易想到,哦,那边有野花。我不该踩到它们,但这些微小的生态系统中充满了对沙漠生
命至关重要的微生物,它们带来了很多益处,包括减少侵蚀的风险和帮助吸收降雨,并可能需要数百年才
能恢复到原来的状态。)”可知,作者提及野花,是为了说明人们能意识到不能踩踏野花,但却忽视了野花
所在的微小生态系统的敏感性,以此体现人们对自然敏感性的无知。故选D项。
3l.主旨大意题。根据第二段中的When you look at the numbers,,it's incredible,”says Watts,.head of the Leave
No Trace Center in Colorado,.an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.(“当你看到这些数字
时,这是令人难以置信的,”瓦茨说,他是科罗拉多州“不留痕迹中心”的负责人,该组织台在最大限度地减
少人类对自然的影响)'以及全文围绕人类丢弃垃圾、偏离步道等行为对生态系统的破坏展开可知,文章传达
的核心是我们在野外活动时应做到不留痕迹,减少对自然的影响。故选B项。
D
Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (crisis of our time.In a recent article in The
Atlantic,Rose Horowitch noted that"university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem",and many
American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages.
Actually,accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity.Even in the early 20th century,
Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose ()explaining it as a result of readers'inability to engage
with the linguistic complexity of poetry.Over the decades,similar complaints about attention have continued.
Yet,Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability,we may be witnessing a shift in
consumption habits.Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums-outdated.
Meanwhile,the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow.This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read
long novels but rather a shift in what people value."Students can still read books,"Horowitch wrote."They're just
choosing not to.”
This raises a deeper question:What kind of attention do we truly need,and why?Psychologists distinguish
between focused attention and broader attention.In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment,participants counting
basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background.A wider focus,in contrast,
may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits.
试卷第9页,共22页
Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize?What of the
rapid,quick-fire,written exchanges of instant messaging?The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or
280 characters?What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games?These new ways of engaging
with content challenge us to rethink-with history as our guide-how we might approach long-form culture in
fresh and flexible ways.
32.What does the underlined word"accusations"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Criticisms.B.Origins.
C.Trends.
D.Indicators.
33.What does the increase of audiobook listeners imply according to Horowitch?
A.Printed books are less accessible.
B.Reading preferences have changed.
C.Digital reading devices are more popular.D.Modern people have limited reading time.
34.Why does the author mention the Invisible Gorilla Experiment in paragraph 4?
A.To display the difficulty of multitasking.
B.To illustrate the limitation of focused attention
C.To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life.
D.To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports.
35.What will probably be discussed next?
A.More valuable lessons taught by history.B.Challenges facing the young generation.
C.The impact of technology on literacy skills.D.Strategies for book reading in the digital age.
【答案】32.A33.B34.B35.D
【导语】本文是议论文。探讨了现代社会中注意力分散的现象及其背后的原因。
32.词句猜测题。根据后文“Over the decades,,similar complaints about attention have continued.(几十年来,关
于注意力的类似抱怨一直在继续)”可知,本段介绍了对注意力下降的指责,推知accusations应是指责”之意,
和A项意思相近。故选A项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段Yet,Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability,.we may be
witnessing a shift in consumption habits.Students now view reading books much like listening to old record

The story is set on a remote island,where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the
island's creatures,and becomes part of the community.For my son,it was the first book he discovered on his own;
the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy )and joy
When I finished the book,I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion,he described how
Brown's pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes,where Roz leaves to
find repairs for her injured body,Henry cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful,
"happily-ever-after"endings,but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain
how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments,but failed to fully persuade him.
Once our discussion ended,Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.
He read the first two books repeatedly,so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild
Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat:"the poison tide."
Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas-not just happiness and sadness,but
also,given the climate-change undercurrents(暗v流),hope and despair..
And,here's something special about Roz:her physical clumsiness )and confusion about life,conveyed
through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place,
much like a child's journey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her.Even better,they learn alongside her.Roz gave
Henry the power to push through the first book's sad parts,getting him ready to appreciate that,sometimes,sadness
isn't a bad thing to feel.

A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park,New Mexico.This
cave is almost cut off from the outside world,so introducing anything foreign can be harmful."Things in the damp
cave get wet quickly,"says park guide Ashley.The snack attracts tiny organisms,causing unwanted growth.Soon,
small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat,spreading the pollution.Rangers found the bag within hours.
But that can be all it takes,"says Ashley."I'm sure some crickets got a bit of the snack."
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year,creating many chances to harm wild places.
"When you look at the numbers,it's incredible,"says Watts,head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado,an
organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down,especially in certain areas."It takes much longer for an apple
core to rot in a desert than in a forest,says Blye,a teacher at the University of Utah.Leaving waste introduces
animals to an unnatural diet and alters their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.Bears who taste garbage
and become a threat to humans may have to be put down."Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,"
says Watts.“Everyone loses in this case..”
Biological waste is also problematic.Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer.
Meanwhile,human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks,trails are designed to avoid sensitive areas.Stepping off the trail,even for a quick
photo,can scare wildlife away.Impacts from many visitors result in long-temm damage to nature and wildlife.But
people don't think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity."It's just such a hard thing to resist,"says
Blye.The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious."It's easy to think,oh,there's wildflowers over there.I
shouldn't step on that,"says Blye,but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life
provide many benefits,including reducing the risk of erosion (and helping absorb rainfall,and can take
hundreds of years to return to its original state.

Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (crisis of our time.In a recent article in The
Atlantic,Rose Horowitch noted that"university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem,and many
American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages.
Actually,accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity.Even in the early 20th century,
Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose ()explaining it as a result of readers'inability to engage
with the linguistic complexity of poetry.Over the decades,similar complaints about attention have continued.
Yet,Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability,we may be witnessing a shift in
consumption habits.Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums-outdated.
Meanwhile,the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow.This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read
long novels but rather a shift in what people value."Students can still read books,Horowitch wrote."They're just
choosing not to.”
This raises a deeper question:What kind of attention do we truly need,and why?Psychologists distinguish
between focused attention and broader attention.In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment,participants counting
basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background.A wider focus,in contrast,

may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits.
Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize?What of the
rapid,quick-fire,written exchanges of instant messaging?The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or
280 characters?What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games?These new ways of engaging
with content challenge us to rethink-with history as our guide-how we might approach long-fomm culture in
fresh and flexible ways
32.What does the underlined word"accusations"'in paragraph 2 mean?

C.Trends.

B.To illustrate the limitation of focused attention.
C.To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life.
D.To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports.
35.What will probably be discussed next?
A.More valuable lessons taught by history.B.Challenges facing the young generation.
C.The impact of technology on literacy skills.D.Strategies for book reading in the digital age.

The Hedgehog's Dilemma is a concept that explores the tension between the desire for close relationships
and the risk of emotional harm.German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor()of hedgehogs seeking
warmth on a cold winter day:they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other's quills ()
They separate,only to feel the cold again,eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain.
36
So that's the theory,but what does this look like in our everyday lives?37 But should we let these
experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future?Schopenhauer's advice would probably be"yes".
38 For example,a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50%increased

likelihood of survival.Additionally,the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term
isolation (are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
39 Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve
as survival strategies during childhood.While these defenses may provide short-term protection,they can block
meaningful connections if they persist.
In conclusion,the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships,even when
we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain.Unlike hedgehogs,humans don't have the quills.40 So
when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people,there's a chance we actually can have it all-the warmth of
genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt.
A.However,modern research offers a different perspective.
B.This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature.
C.Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences.
D.These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future.
E.Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships.
F.This reflects humans'struggle to balance closeness and self-protection.
G.We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves.
