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.
4. 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.
5. 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 in 2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
6. 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.
7. 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.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急规划师露西·伊斯索普从幕后工作到因出版畅销书《尘埃落定时》而进入公众视野的经历,以及她第二本书《任凭风雨来袭》的创作动机和核心理念。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly... (乍一看,Easthope不太像一位Cassandra。她笑容满面。她的举止亲切、充满母性)”可知,作者将Easthope的外在表现与“Cassandra”进行对比,Easthope给人的印象是亲切的、面带微笑的,因此与之相反的“Cassandra”形象应更偏向于严肃、令人敬畏的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“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. (但在2023年,她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定时》,情况发生了变化。人们开始对她所做的工作非常感兴趣)”可知,2023年公众对Easthope工作认知度的提高,源于她出版了一本畅销书。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“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.(“人们想从我这里知道的,是我如何带着我所掌握的那些认知生活。我不害怕吗?我是怎么应对的?我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中,并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终,她觉得别无选择,只能再写一本书,一本试图为她所学到的一切凝练精髓,以惠及每一位读者的书)”可知,作者在本段引用读者的问题,是想说明这些问题反映了公众对如何应对灾难知识的渴求,而这种需求促使伊斯索普决定写作第二本书,即解释了其写作动机。故选C项。
【7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. (伊斯索普还提醒人们,一些小事,比如生病时脱发或某人去世后暴饮暴食,仍然很重要)”可知,伊斯索普认为微小的痛苦(小事情)也值得关注。故选D项。
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. Prioritising 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 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.
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. addresses. B. matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
11. 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.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【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。
【8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。
【9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。
【10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。
【11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
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, 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 protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. Technology weakens our brains. B. We are burdened with phone numbers.
C. We rely more on tools to memorize. D. Technology distances us from our friends.
13. What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improved. B. Undervalued. C. Restricted. D. Outperformed.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【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。
【12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C。
【13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,人工记忆可以记得更多。由此猜测,划线词eclipsed意为“超越”的意思,与outperformed同义。故选D。
【14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, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.(当我们执着于以这种方式捕捉并分享世界时,某种极具价值的东西便会悄然流失;我们记录了生活中太多片段,却忘了真正去体验生活,也因此与当下的感受渐行渐远。)”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。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。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. (但这种由社交媒体驱动的转变就完全是坏事吗?倘若我们如今依然还在用这种方式创造并分享回忆,或许是因为我们尚未有足够时间,学会自然而然地去做这些事(而无需刻意盘算)。我们很容易忽略,大众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。

The day dawned with excitement and curiosity. The weather was ideal: a clear sky, a mild wind dancing through the trees, rustling (沙沙声) them ___21___. My father, an experienced fisherman, patiently guided me through fishing ___22___ — casting the line, feeling for a ___23___, and reeling (绕线) in the catch.

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:48岁的街头小贩李军勇熟练地在热锅中翻动着鸡排,他被称为“鸡排哥”,一举成名,成为江西省景德镇的标志性景点。flip over是固定短语,意为“翻转”,over是介词。故填over。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:48岁的街头小贩李军勇熟练地在热锅中翻动着鸡排,他被称为“鸡排哥”,一举成名,成为江西省景德镇的标志性景点。提示词修饰名词attraction,用名词signature作定语,意为“明显特征,鲜明特色”,名词作定语表类别。故填signature。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:他与游客的幽默互动,如“你可以拒绝我,但请不要拒绝美味”,“你值得拥有世界上所有美好的事物,包括我的鸡排”,让这座城市在刚刚结束的中秋和国庆假期成为热门旅游目的地。提示词作宾语,用名词deliciousness,意为“美味”,不可数名词。故填deliciousness。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:在三天的时间里,该平台上该市玻璃吹制体验团购和陶艺制作之旅的销量分别同比增长了74%和71%。提示词修饰谓语动词registered,意为“分别地”。故填respectively。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:旅游门户网站去哪儿网也证明了“鸡排哥”的销售实力。prove(证明)是谓语动词,与主语Travel portal Qunar之间是主动关系,根据上文可知,讲述过去的事情应用一般过去时态,谓语动词用过去式proved。故填proved。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:10月1日,假期第一天,数据显示,与去年同期相比,景德镇酒店的入住率增长了30%。“(compare) with the same period last year”在句中作比较状语,compare(比较)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语the occupancy rate之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填compared。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:这已经不是小城市第一次在公共假期迅速走红了,比如山东省的淄博,因为这座城市美味的烧烤而在游客中疯传,因为越来越多的中国游客表现出对探索小众目的地的兴趣,以避开巨大的人群。“It is/was the+序数词+time+that...”是固定句型,主句中用is时,从句用现在完成时态,主句用was时,从句用过去完成时态;主句中是is,且从句主语small cities是复数名词,从句用现在完成时态have become。故填have become。

【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:去哪儿网的一份报告称,在国庆假期期间,具有独特美食、自然和文化的小城市很受欢迎。指代复数名词small cities,且后接with介词短语作后置定语,应用复数代词those特指“那些……的小城市”。故填those。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:魏指出,景德镇和“鸡排哥”在假期期间势头强劲,这种瞬间的网络热潮肯定会推动当地旅游市场的增长,同时当地政府有必要抓住机会改善旅游产品和服务,将短期的客流量转化为可持续的旅游增长。“it’s necessary for sb. to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“对某人来说,做某事是必要的”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语to do sth.。故填to seize。

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.

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。
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.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I realized it was me who was at fault. I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time. My pride had kept me from reaching out, and now months had passed without a proper conversation. One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet. To my relief, he called back the next day, and we agreed to get together soon.
With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box of biscuits. “Thank you,” he said quietly. We talked for hours, laughing, remembering old times, and slowly rebuilding what had been lost. As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者因担心弟弟的狗Toby影响聚会,要求弟弟看好狗,后因天气变化导致弟弟提前离开并心生芥蒂。两个月后作者意识到自己的过错,主动带着妻子做的饼干登门道歉,最终兄弟俩和解的故事,展现了亲情中理解与包容的重要性。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我意识到是我错了。” 可知,第一段可描写作者反思自己在聚会上只顾控制局面,忽视了Toby对弟弟的重要性,因骄傲迟迟未联系弟弟,最终通过电话留言道歉并约定见面。
②由第二段首句内容“带着妻子做的饼干,我来到了弟弟家门口。”可知,第二段可描写弟弟开门时的惊讶与沉默,兄弟俩拥抱和解,坐在门廊上谈心,看着Toby依偎在弟弟腿边,明白亲情修复的意义。
2. 续写线索:反思过错——电话留言道歉——约定见面——带饼干登门——拥抱沉默——谈心和解——领悟亲情

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.
4. 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.
5. 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 in 2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
6. 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.
7. 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. Prioritising 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 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.
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.

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, 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 protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. Technology weakens our brains. B. We are burdened with phone numbers.
C. We rely more on tools to memorize. D. Technology distances us from our friends.
13. What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improved. B. Undervalued. C. Restricted. D. Outperformed.
14. 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.
15. 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.

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。
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.
