For animals, however, it’s not just a comfortable living environment in danger, but their very existence (生存). Many animals that we love, including penguins and elephants, are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. A study published on March 7 used fossils from sea creatures to find out which animals are facing the highest risk of extinction as our planet’s climate continues to shift. Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size of an animal plays a big part in its ability to survive and reproduce. Smaller animals are more likely to become extinct because they tend to use up their energy quickly due to their size. They need lots of food to keep going, so any change that makes food scarce (短缺的) affects them more. Furthermore, small animals usually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them more vulnerable (易受伤害的) to factors that might reduce their numbers. Another problem is that small animals generally can’t travel far. So, if their current home is disturbed, or if they face danger, it’s tough for them to find new homes or escape threats. If their living area is broken apart, or if they end up isolated from each other, they are more at risk of going extinct, according to the study. Apart from small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold, such as at the poles, are facing more threats from climate change. These places go through big weather changes, making life even more difficult for species that have already been dealing with tough conditions. As climate change worsens, these extreme environments change rapidly, posing a greater risk for the animals living there. This study presented us with important information on how to protect wildlife as the world gets warmer. “Knowing which creatures are most at risk is crucial for planning conservation efforts as climate change worsens,” commented the website Earth. By focusing on the most vulnerable species, conservationists can direct their work more effectively, making the most of limited resources and improving the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite the environmental challenges. 1. What is the biggest consequence of climate crisis on animals? A. Their fossils are at risk. B. Their sizes are getting smaller. C. Their survival is under threat. D. Their habitats get uncomfortable. 2. What factors make smaller animals easily affected by global warming? A. Energy source and living style. B. Food shortage and life duration. C. Eating and reproduction patterns. D. Travel capacity and isolation preference. 3. According to the author, how can we effectively protect animals from the environmental challenges? A. Plan our conservation efforts in advance. B. Focus on the animals facing the highest risk. C. Make the most of our current energy resources. D. Get updated information about wildlife protection. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，该研究利用海洋生物化石探究气候变化下哪些动物面临最高灭绝风险，指出小型动物和生活在极端环境的动物受影响大，并提及保护建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For animals, however, it’s not just a comfortable living environment in danger, but their very existence (生存). Many animals that we love, including penguins and elephants, are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. (然而，对动物来说，不仅舒适的生活环境受到威胁，它们的生存也受到威胁。许多我们喜爱的动物，包括企鹅和大象，都因气候变化而面临消失的危险。)”可知，气候危机对动物最大的影响是它们的生存受到威胁。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Smaller animals are more likely to become extinct because they tend to use up their energy quickly due to their size. They need lots of food to keep going, so any change that makes food scarce (短缺的) affects them more. Furthermore, small animals usually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them more vulnerable (易受伤害的) to factors that might reduce their numbers. (小型动物更有可能灭绝，因为由于它们的体型，它们往往会很快耗尽能量。它们需要大量的食物来维持生存，所以任何导致食物短缺的变化对它们的影响更大。此外，小型动物通常不如大型动物寿命长，这使得它们更容易受到可能减少其数量的因素的影响。)”可知，食物短缺和寿命长短这两个因素使小型动物更容易受到全球变暖的影响。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“By focusing on the most vulnerable species, conservationists can direct their work more effectively, making the most of limited resources and improving the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite the environmental challenges. (通过关注最易受影响的物种，保护主义者可以更有效地开展工作，充分利用有限的资源，提高在环境挑战下维持生物多样性的机会。)”可知，我们可以通过关注面临最高风险的动物来有效地保护动物免受环境挑战。故选B项。 B When we talk about sustainability in the tech sector, the conversation often begins and ends with e-waste. The core issue isn’t merely the waste itself, but the system behind it, driven by overproduction and excessive consumption (过度消费). The smartphones, laptops and tablets we upgrade so frequently are responsible not only for mountains of discarded electronics but also for vast carbon emissions (排放), most of which are generated before the device even reaches our hands. True sustainability in consumer electronics doesn’t start at the point of disposal (处理); it starts at the point of production. If we want to curb the environmental impact of our tech, we need to shift our focus at the source and rethink how and how often devices are made, marketed and consumed. Addressing the environmental harms of fast tech requires a shift from overconsumption to thoughtful, sustainable care. This begins with making the most of the devices we already own. Extending their lifespan, rather than upgrading prematurely, is one of the most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions and e-waste. When devices break, repair should be the first option. However, for some consumers, limited access to parts and support can make this difficult. Where repair isn’t possible, reselling to a professional is a far better choice than letting it gather dust in a drawer. And when a replacement is genuinely needed, choosing a second-hand or professionally repaired device can drastically reduce the environmental footprint compared to buying a new one. Recycling still plays a role, but it should be seen as a last resort, not the go-to solution. After all, no amount of recycling can make up for the emissions created in the production phase, which is where the majority of a device’s impact lies. This shift in mindset isn’t just about personal choices; it’s about acknowledging that the way we use and hold onto our tech has significant effects across the entire system. Thoughtful consumption matters. But to have a lasting impact, it must be part of a broader, structural shift across the industry. 4. What does the underlined part “curb” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ignore. B. Control. C. Measure. D. Promote. 5. What does the author suggest to lower e-waste? A. Recycling more frequently. B. Shifting the design of devices. C. Upgrading devices annually. D. Lengthening the use of devices. 6. What should consumers do if a device is beyond repair? A. Take it apart. B. Store it for future use. C. Resell it. D. Throw it into regular trash. 7. Why is recycling positioned as a final solution? A. It fails to address emissions. B. It is a personal choice. C. It is inconvenient. D. It increases the cost. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了科技行业中的可持续性问题，特别是电子废弃物和碳排放问题。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The smartphones, laptops and tablets we upgrade so frequently are responsible not only for mountains of discarded electronics but also for vast carbon emissions (排放), most of which are generated before the device even reaches our hands. (我们频繁升级的智能手机、笔记本电脑和平板电脑不仅造成了堆积如山的废弃电子产品，还造成了大量的碳排放，其中大部分碳排放甚至在这些设备到达我们手中之前就已经产生了。)”和第二段“If we want to curb the environmental impact of our tech, we need to shift our focus at the source and rethink how and how often devices are made, marketed and consumed. (如果我们想curb 科技产品对环境的影响，就需要从源头转移焦点，重新思考设备的生产、营销和消费方式及频率。)” 可知，电子设备带来的环境问题，此处提出针对性解决方案想要抑制科技产品对环境的影响，因此“curb”应表示“控制、抑制”之意。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Extending their lifespan, rather than upgrading prematurely, is one of the most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions and e-waste. (延长设备使用寿命，而非过早升级，是减少碳排放和电子垃圾最有效的方法之一。)” 可知，作者建议通过延长设备使用时间来减少电子垃圾。故选D。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Where repair isn’t possible, reselling to a professional is a far better choice than letting it gather dust in a drawer. (如果无法维修，转售给专业人士远比让它在抽屉里积灰要好得多。)” 可知，设备无法维修时，消费者应选择转售。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“After all, no amount of recycling can make up for the emissions created in the production phase, which is where the majority of a device’s impact lies. (毕竟，再多的回收也无法弥补生产阶段产生的碳排放，而这正是设备对环境造成影响的主要环节。)” 可知，回收被定位为最后手段的原因是它无法解决生产阶段产生的碳排放问题。故选A。 C Dr. Jane Goodall, a world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, and activist, dedicated her life to fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world. From earliest childhood, Jane’s mother encouraged her fascination with animals. One of her most beloved companions was a stuffed toy chimpanzee, named Jubilee. In what her mother referred to as “Jane’s first animal research program,” she found Jane in bed with a handful of earthworms, trying to understand how they could possibly move without legs. Young Jane immersed herself in books about wild animals and dreamed of a life alongside African wildlife like Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle. At the young age of 23, after having spent the past few years as a waitress and secretary, she finally found a way to make her dream a reality. She eagerly accepted a schoolmate’s invitation to the family farm in Kenya in 1957 and later ventured into what was then called the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve—embarking on a journey that would redefine the relationship between humans and other animals. Taking an unorthodox approach, she immersed herself in the chimpanzee’s habitat. After months of trying to gain their trust, she was able to experience their complex society as a neighbour, rather than a distant observer. She then further departed from scientific convention by giving them names instead of numbers. She came to understand them not only as a species, but as individuals with personalities, complex minds, emotions, and long-term bonds. One day, in October 1960, she saw the chimpanzee she named David Greybeard use grass stems to fashion tools for fishing insects from their nest. Up until that enlightening moment, mainstream scientists thought humans were the only species to make and use tools, having defined us as “Man the Toolmaker.” Her insights rocked the scientific world. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, spreading her conservation vision around the world. Recognised as a global icon, Jane was the author of several books that have engaged an international readership and the recipient of numerous honours. Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025, aged 91. Her words, “Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference,” continue to inspire millions to protect our planet. 8. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the earthworms? A. Goodall’s early curiosity about animals. B. The hardship of Goodall’s childhood. C. Goodall’s mother’s teaching methods. D. The types of animals Goodall studied. 9. What does the underlined word “unorthodox” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Traditional. B. Innovative. C. Disrespectful. D. Scientific. 10. Why did Jane Goodall’s discovery about David Greybeard shock the scientific world? A. It documented the hunting techniques of chimpanzees. B. It proved chimpanzees could communicate with humans. C. It challenged a long-held belief about human uniqueness. D. It revealed the emotional bonds within chimpanzee families. 11. What message does Jane Goodall’s life story convey? A. Dream big, achieve big. B. Still waters run deep. C. More haste, less speed. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了世界著名动物行为学家、环保主义者珍・古道尔的一生，从儿时对动物的好奇，到成年后前往非洲研究黑猩猩、打破学界固有认知，再到创立相关机构推广环保理念，展现了她对自然世界认知和生态保护事业的巨大贡献。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From earliest childhood, Jane’s mother encouraged her fascination with animals. One of her most beloved companions was a stuffed toy chimpanzee, named Jubilee. In what her mother referred to as ‘Jane’s first animal research program,’ she found Jane in bed with a handful of earthworms, trying to understand how they could possibly move without legs (幼年时期，珍的母亲就鼓励她对动物的痴迷。她最心爱的伙伴之一是一个名叫朱比利的毛绒黑猩猩玩具。在母亲口中‘珍的第一个动物研究项目’里，母亲发现珍在床上捧着一把蚯蚓，试图弄明白它们没有腿是如何移动的)”可知，提及蚯蚓是为了体现珍・古道尔早年就对动物抱有强烈的好奇心。故选A。​ 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Taking an unorthodox approach, she immersed herself in the chimpanzee’s habitat. After months of trying to gain their trust, she was able to experience their complex society as a neighbour, rather than a distant observer. She then further departed from scientific convention by giving them names instead of numbers (她采取了unorthodox的方法，亲自融入黑猩猩的栖息地。经过数月努力赢得它们的信任后，她得以像邻居一样体验它们复杂的社群，而非做一个远距离的观察者。她还进一步打破科学惯例，给黑猩猩起名字而非编号)”可知，珍的研究方法和传统科学研究方式不同，是有创新性的。“unorthodox”意为“非传统的、创新的”，与Innovative含义相近。故选B。​ 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One day, in October 1960, she saw the chimpanzee she named David Greybeard use grass stems to fashion tools for fishing insects from their nest. Up until that enlightening moment, mainstream scientists thought humans were the only species to make and use tools, having defined us as ‘Man the Toolmaker.’ Her insights rocked the scientific world (1960 年 10 月的一天，她看到自己命名为大卫・格雷贝尔的黑猩猩用草茎制作工具，从蚁穴中钓取昆虫。在这一具有启发意义的时刻之前，主流科学家认为人类是唯一会制造和使用工具的物种，还将人类定义为‘工具制造者’。她的发现震惊了科学界)”可知，珍的发现之所以震惊学界，是因为它挑战了“只有人类会制造使用工具”这一长期以来的固有认知。故选C。​ 【11题详解】 推理判断题。珍・古道尔儿时就怀揣着和非洲野生动物相伴的梦想，成年后从服务员、秘书的身份，抓住机会前往肯尼亚，最终深入研究黑猩猩并取得重大科学突破，还创立机构推动环保事业，她的人生印证了“心怀远大梦想，就能取得巨大成就”的道理。故选A。​ D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage. 12. What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 13. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. B. A manager who often uses modern search engines. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 14. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D. Insist on. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? C. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新时代背景下“技术商数（TQ）”的定义、应用场景、重要性，以及其与智商（IQ）、情商（EQ）结合对人类生活工作的重塑作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.(他们拥有一种叫做TQ(技术商数)的东西。你可以把它看作一种超能力，能理解我们曾祖父母辈会觉得完全无法想象的最新科技事物。拥有高TQ意味着你擅长使用那些还不是所有人都了解的酷炫新事物)”以及第三段中的“TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations.(TQ试图量化我们明智运用现有技术、快速适应、接纳并利用未来创新成果的能力)”可知，TQ指的是使用新技术的能力。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations.(TQ试图量化我们明智运用现有技术、快速适应、接纳并利用未来创新成果的能力)”以及“And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan.(对于医生来说，这可能是人工智能在辅助CT扫描分析中发挥的作用)”可知，利用人工智能辅助CT扫描分析的医生，体现了对现有技术的明智运用，符合高TQ的特征。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future.(随着我们快速步入未来，孩子和教师理解、接纳并assimilate技术的能力将成为他们生活中的关键一环)”可知，“assimilate”与“understand(理解)”“embrace(接纳)”为并列关系，语义相近，结合语境可推测其意为“吸收、掌握”，与“Take in”表意一致。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段引出新时代需要新词汇的话题，第二段定义TQ（技术商数），第三段列举TQ在不同职业中的应用场景，第四段强调TQ对个人未来的重要性，第五段指出TQ与IQ、EQ结合将重塑人类生活工作方式。全文核心围绕TQ作为一种新的“智能”，其定义、价值和影响展开。由此可知，“是什么让TQ成为新的智能？”概括了文章的主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B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。 “Pay as You Throw” programs are gaining popularity around the globe. This is a way to incentivize (激励) recycling more, composting more, and cutting down on household and business waste. How Does It Work? In South Korea, 95% of all food waste and 86% of all garbage is recycled. People usually need to buy color-coded bags from local stores to separate their waste. ____16____. Bergen, Norway has one of the most innovative forms of waste management. In 2016, the standard truck-based garbage collection was replaced by the network of underground tunnels. The residents of the city were offered keys to open the collection hatches. The first eight times a month were free. ____17____— it had a 9% decrease in trash and a 28% increase in collecting plastic to be recycled. Carrot the software company behind Bergen’s system, has now expanded to retail and office buildings. Tine Charlotte Holm, chief operating officer at Carrot, said these locations have been “famous” for not recycling or reducing waste. Why Is It Working So Well? ____18____. The more you pay, the less garbage you will produce. “Financial incentives are more powerful than your own conscience,” Holm said. “But the magic happens when you can align (使结合) financial incentives with sustainable choices. ____19____. It may start out as a way to just pay less, but it can also change the values and culture. Even if it doesn’t, if behavior changes, it still matters.” ____20____, especially since landfills and burning trash generate pollution and greenhouse gasses. Reducing both is good for the planet. A. Less money would be paid afterwards B. In 2022, after six years, Bergen’s efforts paid off C. The key is that you spend money on the service you use D. That’s when we will actually manage to change behavior the way we want E. How the world manages waste can have a large impact on the environment F. These systems have been around for decades internationally and are working G. In some areas, people can directly place their garbage in machines that charge by weight 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“垃圾按量收费”这一垃圾管理模式的实施方法、分析了其行之有效的原因并指出了推广该模式的意义。 【16题详解】 由上文“In South Korea, 95% of all food waste and 86% of all garbage is recycled. People usually need to buy color-coded bags from local stores to separate their waste.(在韩国，95%的食物垃圾和86%的生活垃圾都被回收利用。人们通常需要从当地商店购买颜色分类的垃圾袋来进行垃圾分类。)”可知，空格处需补充韩国“按扔付费”制度的相关细节，保持话题一致。G项“In some areas, people can directly place their garbage in machines that charge by weight.(在一些地区，人们可以直接将垃圾投入按重量计费的机器中。)”符合语境，该句承接前文韩国的垃圾分类回收模式，进一步说明其付费方式，逻辑连贯。故选G项。 【17题详解】 由上文“In 2016, the standard truck-based garbage collection was replaced by the network of underground tunnels. The residents of the city were offered keys to open the collection hatches. The first eight times a month were free.(2016年，传统的卡车式垃圾收集模式被地下管道网络取而代之。该市居民获发了垃圾投放口的开启钥匙，每月前八次投放均可免费。)”和下文“it had a 9% decrease in trash and a 28% increase in collecting plastic to be recycled.(该模式使垃圾总量减少了9%，可回收塑料的收集量增加了28%。)”可知，空格处需承接前文措施，引出后文的实施成效。B项“In 2022, after six years, Bergen’s efforts paid off.(2022年，历经六年时间，卑尔根的努力终于有了回报。)”符合语境，“after six years”对应前文2016年到2022年的时间跨度，“paid off”引出下文的积极成果，承上启下。故选B项。 【18题详解】 由上文小标题“Why Is It Working So Well?(为什么该模式如此有效？)”和下文“The more you pay, the less garbage you will produce.(你付的钱越多，产生的垃圾就越少。)”可知，空格处需点明“按扔付费”模式有效的核心原因。C项“The key is that you spend money on the service you use.(关键在于你要为自己使用的服务付费。)”符合语境，该句总领本段，“spend money on the service you use”呼应下文“付费多少与垃圾产量挂钩”的内容，逻辑清晰。故选C项。 【19题详解】 由上文“But the magic happens when you can align financial incentives with sustainable choices.(但当你能将经济激励与可持续选择结合起来时，奇妙的效果就会出现。)”和下文“It may start out as a way to just pay less, but it can also change the values and culture.(这种模式最初可能只是为了少花钱，但它也能改变人们的价值观和文化。)”可知，空格处需说明经济激励与可持续选择结合后产生的具体作用。D项“That’s when we will actually manage to change behavior the way we want.(那正是我们能够按照预期改变人们行为的时候。)”符合语境，“That’s when”指代前文“经济激励与可持续选择结合”的时刻，同时引出下文“改变价值观和文化”的深层影响，衔接自然。故选D项。 【20题详解】 由下文“especially since landfills and burning trash generate pollution and greenhouse gasses.

A recent survey shows that 51% of students prioritize “interest and ability” when choosing universities and majors. “Scores” and “social demand” both rank second at 33%, while only 3.2% consider “parents’ opinions” a top factor. In my view, while following one’s passion is crucial, ignoring social demand might lead to challenges in future careers. Parents’ advice, based on their experience, can also provide valuable insights. A balance between personal interest and practical considerations is essential. Therefore, students should strike a balance between their passions and practical factors. Researching job trends and seeking advice from mentors and parents can help ensure thoughtful and informed decisions. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图表作文。学校英文报正在开展以“Choosing Universities and Majors”为题的讨论。要求考生根据近期调查所得的图表数据，以“Choosing Universities and Majors”为题写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 在我看来：in my opinion → as far as I am concerned 至关重要的：crucial → vital 导致：lead to → result in 因此：therefore → consequently 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Parents’ advice, based on their experience, can also provide valuable insights. 拓展句：Parents’ advice, which is based on their experience, can also provide valuable insights. 【点睛】【高分句型1】In my view, while following one’s passion is crucial, ignoring social demand might lead to challenges in future careers.(运用了while引导的让步状语从句) 【高分句型2】A recent survey shows that 51% of students prioritize “interest and ability” when choosing universities and majors.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和when引导的时间状语从句中的省略) 第二节 读后续写 (满分25分) 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. In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again. Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win. At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft. As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words. Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear. 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。 Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day Zora went to school and apologized to her class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears. She bolted into her room and hurled herself onto the bed, weeping profusely. The recollection of her poor performance in the competition weighed heavily on her heart. Her parents quietly entered the room. Instead of getting cross, they seated themselves beside her, patiently listening as she unburdened her guilt. Zora sobbed out that she felt extremely guilty for disappointing everyone. Her parents consoled her, stating that everyone errs and it’s the way we handle failure that counts. After an extended conversation, Zora gradually composed herself and started to reflect on her errors. The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class. Standing in front of the class, she appeared a bit nervous yet determined. “Dear classmates, I’m truly sorry for what happened yesterday. I failed to take the competition seriously enough, and I let our class down,” she said earnestly. To her astonishment, her classmates smiled at her and expressed their understanding. Her teacher also stepped forward and encouraged her not to be disheartened. The teacher analyzed Zora’s issues and offered her some sound advice. From that moment on, Zora learned a precious lesson. She dedicated herself more assiduously to improving her speaking skills and actively engaged in more activities, eagerly looking forward to redeeming herself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。文章讲述了已经赢过两次演讲比赛的Zora被选为班级代表参加学校组织的演讲比赛。但在比赛前，尽管家人和老师提醒她认真准备，但她却没有当回事，结果在比赛时她输掉了演讲，她感受到了老师和同学的失望，这给她带来沉重的负担。回到家后在父母开解认识到了自己的错误，重新找回了自信，并向全班同学认真承认错误。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家里，Zora再也忍不住流下了眼泪。”可知，第一段可描写Zora伤心不已以及父母的安慰让她反思自我。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Zora去学校向她的同学道歉。”可知，第二段可描写Zora在同学面前认真道歉并获得了同学的原谅和老师的建议，以及Zora从这次事件中获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索：回家后Zora流泪——父母安慰——父母给出建议——Zora向同学道歉——同学原谅——老师给出建议——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①使失望：disappoint/let down ②安慰：console/comfort ③犯错：err/make a mistake ④鼓励：encourage/inspire ⑤致力于：dedicate oneself to ⑥参加：engage in/take part in/participate in 情绪类 ①生气的：cross/mad/angry ②真诚地：earnestly/sincerely ③惊讶：astonishment/surprise 【点睛】【高分句型1】Instead of getting cross, they seated themselves beside her, patiently listening as she unburdened her guilt.

In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. IT was discovered both by englishman and in american in the same year, but IT was the american who first developed on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because IT was so cheap, poor workers were able to buy plastic colors. These plastic collars were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford the toys for their children. We are now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily. And when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down, so IT causes serious pollution. We now use the term of White pollution to refer the plastic pollution.

For animals, however, it’s not just a comfortable living environment in danger, but their very existence (生存). Many animals that we love, including penguins and elephants, are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. A study published on March 7 used fossils from sea creatures to find out which animals are facing the highest risk of extinction as our planet’s climate continues to shift. Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size of an animal plays a big part in its ability to survive and reproduce. Smaller animals are more likely to become extinct because they tend to use up their energy quickly due to their size. They need lots of food to keep going, so any change that makes food scarce (短缺的) affects them more. Furthermore, small animals usually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them more vulnerable (易受伤害的) to factors that might reduce their numbers. Another problem is that small animals generally can’t travel far. So, if their current home is disturbed, or if they face danger, it’s tough for them to find new homes or escape threats. If their living area is broken apart, or if they end up isolated from each other, they are more at risk of going extinct, according to the study. Apart from small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold, such as at the poles, are facing more threats from climate change. These places go through big weather changes, making life even more difficult for species that have already been dealing with tough conditions. As climate change worsens, these extreme environments change rapidly, posing a greater risk for the animals living there. This study presented us with important information on how to protect wildlife as the world gets warmer. “Knowing which creatures are most at risk is crucial for planning conservation efforts as climate change worsens,” commented the website Earth. By focusing on the most vulnerable species, conservationists can direct their work more effectively, making the most of limited resources and improving the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite the environmental challenges. 1. What is the biggest consequence of climate crisis on animals? A. Their fossils are at risk. B. Their sizes are getting smaller. C. Their survival is under threat. D. Their habitats get uncomfortable. 2. What factors make smaller animals easily affected by global warming? A. Energy source and living style. B. Food shortage and life duration. C. Eating and reproduction patterns. D. Travel capacity and isolation preference. 3. According to the author, how can we effectively protect animals from the environmental challenges? A. Plan our conservation efforts in advance. B. Focus on the animals facing the highest risk. C. Make the most of our current energy resources. D. Get updated information about wildlife protection. B When we talk about sustainability in the tech sector, the conversation often begins and ends with e-waste. The core issue isn’t merely the waste itself, but the system behind it, driven by overproduction and excessive consumption (过度消费). The smartphones, laptops and tablets we upgrade so frequently are responsible not only for mountains of discarded electronics but also for vast carbon emissions (排放), most of which are generated before the device even reaches our hands. True sustainability in consumer electronics doesn’t start at the point of disposal (处理); it starts at the point of production. If we want to curb the environmental impact of our tech, we need to shift our focus at the source and rethink how and how often devices are made, marketed and consumed. Addressing the environmental harms of fast tech requires a shift from overconsumption to thoughtful, sustainable care. This begins with making the most of the devices we already own. Extending their lifespan, rather than upgrading prematurely, is one of the most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions and e-waste. When devices break, repair should be the first option. However, for some consumers, limited access to parts and support can make this difficult. Where repair isn’t possible, reselling to a professional is a far better choice than letting it gather dust in a drawer. And when a replacement is genuinely needed, choosing a second-hand or professionally repaired device can drastically reduce the environmental footprint compared to buying a new one. Recycling still plays a role, but it should be seen as a last resort, not the go-to solution. After all, no amount of recycling can make up for the emissions created in the production phase, which is where the majority of a device’s impact lies. This shift in mindset isn’t just about personal choices; it’s about acknowledging that the way we use and hold onto our tech has significant effects across the entire system. Thoughtful consumption matters. But to have a lasting impact it must be part of a broader, structural shift across the industry. 4. What does the underlined part “curb” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ignore. B. Control. C. Measure. D. Promote. 5. What does the author suggest to lower e-waste? A. Recycling more frequently. B. Shifting the design of devices. C. Upgrading devices annually. D. Lengthening the use of devices. 6 What should consumers do if a device is beyond repair? A. Take it apart. B. Store it for future use. C. Resell it. D. Throw it into regular trash. 7. Why is recycling positioned as a final solution? A. It fails to address emissions. B. It is a personal choice. C. It is inconvenient. D. It increases the cost. C Dr. Jane Goodall, a world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, and activist, dedicated her life to fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world. From earliest childhood, Jane’s mother encouraged her fascination with animals. One of her most beloved companions was a stuffed toy chimpanzee, named Jubilee. In what her mother referred to as “Jane’s first animal research program,” she found Jane in bed with a handful of earthworms, trying to understand how they could possibly move without legs. Young Jane immersed herself in books about wild animals and dreamed of a life alongside African wildlife like Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle. At the young age of 23, after having spent the past few years as a waitress and secretary, she finally found a way to make her dream a reality. She eagerly accepted a schoolmate’s invitation to the family farm in Kenya in 1957 and later ventured into what was then called the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve—embarking on a journey that would redefine the relationship between humans and other animals. Taking an unorthodox approach, she immersed herself in the chimpanzee’s habitat. After months of trying to gain their trust, she was able to experience their complex society as a neighbour, rather than a distant observer. She then further departed from scientific convention by giving them names instead of numbers. She came to understand them not only as a species, but as individuals with personalities, complex minds, emotions, and long-term bonds. One day, in October 1960, she saw the chimpanzee she named David Greybeard use grass stems to fashion tools for fishing insects from their nest. Up until that enlightening moment, mainstream scientists thought humans were the only species to make and use tools, having defined us as “Man the Toolmaker.” Her insights rocked the scientific world. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, spreading her conservation vision around the world. Recognised as a global icon, Jane was the author of several books that have engaged an international readership and the recipient of numerous honours. Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025, aged 91. Her words, “Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference,” continue to inspire millions to protect our planet. 8. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the earthworms? A. Goodall’s early curiosity about animals. B. The hardship of Goodall’s childhood. C Goodall’s mother’s teaching methods. D. The types of animals Goodall studied. 9. What does the underlined word “unorthodox” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Traditional. B. Innovative. C. Disrespectful. D. Scientific. 10. Why did Jane Goodall’s discovery about David Greybeard shock the scientific world? A. It documented the hunting techniques of chimpanzees. B. It proved chimpanzees could communicate with humans. C. It challenged a long-held belief about human uniqueness. D. It revealed the emotional bonds within chimpanzee families. 11. What message does Jane Goodall’s life story convey? A. Dream big, achieve big. B. Still waters run deep. C. More haste, less speed. D. Practice makes perfect. D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage. 12. What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 13. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. B. A manager who often uses modern search engines. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 14. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D. Insist on. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? C. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 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。 “Pay as You Throw” programs are gaining popularity around the globe. This is a way to incentivize (激励) recycling more, composting more, and cutting down on household and business waste. How Does It Work?

In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again. Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win. At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft. As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words. Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear. 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。 Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
