At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
24. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A. Severe and forbidding. B. Competent and cautious.
C. Friendly and energetic. D. Cheerful and approachable.
25. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles.
C. Her involvement in2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
26. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
27. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A. Resilience matters most. B. Forgetting aids recovery.
C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention.
C
Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritizing culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritizes not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognize the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
28. Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the author’s point. B. To give a scientific explanation.
C. To provide historical background. D. To present a common partial view.
29. For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site?
A. Climate benefit and natural value. B. Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C. Geographical uniqueness and rare species. D. Educational significance and cultural value.
30. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. addresses. B. matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The formation of the Flow Country. B. The recognition of the Lake District.
C. The long-overdue respect for peatlands. D. The conservation difficulties of peatlands.
D
Quick: what’s your best friend’s phone number? Don’t feel bad if you couldn’t answer off the top of your head. You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.
“Prosthetic memory” (人工记忆) is nothing new. Writing itself has been a means of storing information. Yet the information revolution has generated more data than ever before. We are flooded with information. We’re creating more of it, and keeping more of it. The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.
Not everyone thinks this trend in external memory is good. Historically, memory prostheses were expensive. As technologies such as printing and photography become more affordable, sharing experiences with others is easier than ever. So every breakfast, every sunset, every encounter with a cat finds its way on to social media. And here comes the worry. When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them. We put something between ourselves and the world-a camera-instead of just being in the moment, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.
But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad? If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. That’s just a short blink (眨眼)in human history, yet it has totally changed how we live. I suspect we’re not far off from being directly faced with experience yet with the ability to share experience in ways less bounded by geography and time. After all, technology can do what our fragile meat-computers can’t: protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.
32. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. We rely more on tools to memorize. B. We are burdened with phone numbers.
C. Technology weakens our brains. D. Technology distances us from our friends.
33. What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improved. B. Outperformed. C. Restricted. D. Undervalued.
34. What negative effect does online sharing bring about?
A. An overflow of posts. B. High cost of digital devices.
C. Addiction to the virtual world. D. Disregard for authentic experience.
35. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. Have faith in human brains. B. Take time to adapt to digital age.
C. Quicken the pace of development. D. Make efforts to enhance memory.

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。
My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in the early summer. She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order.
There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside.
My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors.
It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue.
A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned.
Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going.
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。
I realized it was me who was at fault.
With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door.

Charting My Future Path
As a high school student preparing for my next life chapter, I’ve carefully decided to major in Environmental Science and pursue a career as an environmental researcher or conservationist.\\Specifically, I hope to attend a university with a strong Environmental Science program, where I can gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. My long-term goal is to work on environmental protection projects, such as combating climate change, protecting endangered species, and developing sustainable solutions for human life. The reason stems from my love for nature. I am obsessed with the diversity of plants and animals and develop a deep respect for the environment. However, I also notice how pollution and human activity are damaging natural habitats, which motivates me to take action.\\In conclusion, I believe that pursuing Environmental Science as my major and career path is the right choice for my passion, skills, and values.
I realized it was me who was at fault. I sat by the window, staring at the gentle rain outside, which reminded me of that rainy day on the gathering day. The rhythmic sound of raindrops hitting the glass seemed to mirror the restlessness in my heart. I’d been so focused on protecting my family that I’d overlooked my brother’s great loss. Struggling with health issues and having lost his wife recently, he depended on Toby not just as a pet, but as his support in loneliness. When I reflected, my wife approached with a box of heart-shaped biscuits. “These were freshly baked,” she said softly, “maybe they’ll say what words can’t.” Her suggestion touched me deeply—I needed to bridge the gap not just with apologies, but with understanding.
With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. When he answered it, his eyes flashed with surprise, still shadowed by the “Not a chance” from our last encounter. But Toby bounded forward, tail swinging wildly, his front feet rested on my shoulder as if to beg for peace. I bent down to softly touch his ears, then held out the box. Surprisingly, Toby gently took them in his mouth and ran back to my brother. As his dog’s uncontained joy washed over him, my brother’s “Not a chance” disappeared like sugar in tea. I stepped closer for a bear hug, and he laughed—half-choked,half-relieved. As we sat chatting, Toby lay at our feet like a silent peacemaker, which shows the most broken bonds are fixed by the simplest acts of love.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述身为应急规划师的伊斯特霍普看似温和,实则曾参与重大灾害救援,此前公众鲜少知晓她。2023年出书后受关注,因读者需求再著书分享经验,她认为应对灾难应关注细微痛苦、铭记灾害影响。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. (初看之下,伊斯特霍普似乎一点都不像 “卡珊德拉式的人物”。她笑容爽朗,举止亲切又充满母性;若非要说出她的职业,你或许会猜是护士或教师)”可知,伊斯特霍普笑容爽朗,举止亲切又充满母性,一点都不像“卡珊德拉式的人物”。由此推知,“卡珊德拉式的人物”是严肃且不易亲近的。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(20年来,公众对这项在幕后进行的至关重要的工作一无所知,尽管她在我们所谓的专业灾难界受到极大的钦佩:她是一种冷静的声音和智慧的源泉。但在2023年,她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《When the Dust Settles》,情况发生了变化。人们对她的所作所为非常感兴趣)”可知,2003年出版的畅销书后让公众对伊斯特霍普的工作有了更多认识。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“我会告诉他们,我并非在恐惧中生活,也会给他们一些基础建议。但这远远不够。”最终,她觉得自己别无选择,只能再写一本书 —— 在这本书里,她会努力将自己所学的一切浓缩提炼,为每一个普通人带来帮助)”推知,作者在第三段引用那些问题的目的是为了展示伊斯特霍普写作的动力。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们,一些看似微小的事 —— 比如生病时脱发、或是有人离世后因情绪波动暴饮暴食 —— 其实都值得关注。她鼓励人们铭记灾害发生时的种种经历,而非选择遗忘,因为这类事件会留下深远持久的影响)”可知,在应对灾难方面伊斯特霍普提醒人们关注细微的痛苦。故选D。
C篇

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了泥炭地从过去被旅行者视为威胁的存在,到Flow Country成为首个入选世界遗产的泥炭地,其认知发生的转变;通过对比英国湖区的入选依据,阐述了Flow Country的入选不仅源于其自然价值与气候益处,更体现了人类对泥炭地乃至自然本身认知的深刻变化。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段开篇提到“Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (长期以来,旅行者们一直害怕被泥炭地吞没。)”,随后引用William Gilpin 1772 年的描述“If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of (要是他脚一滑……可能就再也没人听说过他了。)”,是为了具体呈现过去人们对泥炭地普遍存在的恐惧和负面印象,旨在生动呈现历史上人们对泥炭地广泛存在的恐惧与负面印象 —— 这种视泥炭地为“威胁”的认知实属片面。第二段紧随其后以but进行转折,指出“now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner (如今该生态系统的形象终于迎来转变)”,形成强烈对比。因此,该处引用的主要目的在于呈现一种曾经普遍存在的片面观念。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. (联合国教科文组织已将福洛地区认定为世界遗产地 —— 这是首个入选该名录的泥炭地 —— 因其具备独特的自然特征:这里栖息着种类极为丰富的动植物。人们还认识到,这些泥炭地并非人类的敌人,而是应对气候危机的重要伙伴。福洛地区的泥炭已形成 8000 年之久,期间一直在固存碳。)”可知,Flow Country入选世界遗产的原因有两点:一是其显著的自然价值,二是其气候益处。故选A。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss ( 苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials. (与湖区不同,福洛地区优先关注的并非绵羊,而是苔藓。这种理念契合了日益兴起的“承认自然权利”运动:该运动主张将自然界重新定义为不仅仅是原材料的集合体。)” 可知,Flow Country优先关注苔藓,即自然本身的理念,与“承认自然权利、不将自然仅视为原材料集合”的运动方向是一致的。“aligns with” 在此处意为“符合、匹配”,与“matches”含义相近。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇以过去人们对泥炭地的恐惧引出话题,核心围 Flow Country成为首个泥炭地世界遗产展开,通过对比湖区的文化导向入选依据,强调Flow Country的入选源于自然价值与气候意义,更体现了人类对泥炭地从“敌人”到“伙伴”的认知转变 —— 这意味着泥炭地终于获得了应有的重视。选项C “The long-overdue respect for peatlands (泥炭地迟来的尊重)”概括了文章核心。故选C。
D篇
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍人们依赖手机等人工记忆工具,有人担忧社交媒体分享让人们忽视真实生活,但作者认为无需全盘否定,科技也能留存珍贵时刻。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.(你没有理由把电话号码记在记忆里:它就在你的手机里。或者你曾经有一个电话簿来存储它们。在任何一种情况下,一个物体为你做记忆)”推知,我们更多地依赖工具进行记忆。故选A。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.(人类大脑的存储能力从此eclipsed。因此,从图书馆到智能手机,我们越来越依赖人工记忆也就不足为奇了)”可知,我们越来越依靠人工记忆,其原因是我们大脑的储存能力已经被超越。由此猜测,划线词意为“超越”,与outperformed同义。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them. (当我们致力于以这种方式捕捉和分享世界时,我们失去了一些极其宝贵的东西;当我们记录了这么多我们的生活,我们忘记了真正的生活)”可知,网上分享带来的负面影响是对真实体验的忽视。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题题。根据最后一段中“But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad? If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. (但这场由社交媒体推动的变革就完全是坏事吗?如果我们如今仍在以这种方式创造和分享回忆,或许是因为我们还没有足够的时间,去学会自然而然地做这些事。很容易忽略的一点是,大规模社交媒体时代至今还不到十年)”可知,大规模社交媒体时代时间不算太久,且人们还没有做到自然而然地去创造和分享回忆。由此推知,作者建议人们花时间去适应数字时代。故选B。
七选五

W: A new museum of laughter in Croatia is helping people deal with the negativity of modern life. Visitors to the HaHaHouse in Zagreb , the capital of Croatia, walk into a little cloud of white smoke when they step inside. Its purpose is to blow away their worries before they climb into a “ giant washing machine”. Then they move down a twisting slide into a space filled with little white balls where their trip to a happier place starts.
Forty-three-year-old Andrea Golubic is the museum's creator. Golubic said she got the idea during the pandemic. At that time , many people were feeling down , so she wanted to heal people with laughter, Golubic said a picture of herself when she was seven inspired her. “I was constantly joking as a kid,” she added.
The museum has eight interactive zones or areas. One has rubber chickens singing cheerfully. They sing songs like ABBA’s “ Dancing Queen". There is a room where people wrestle in large clothes. 'There is also some serious history of humor from ancient to modern times told through theaters , films or the Internet.
Singer Zorica Bucic said the museum was just right for this era. “Entering here is like entering childhood, being relieved of all problems,” she said. Bucic added that if people could come to the museum often, they wouldn't need to visit a psychologist.
