Seventh graders at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Rockford, Illinois, are learning about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) along with real-world challenges. They have started a new project: assembling “solar suitcases” to provide electricity for schools in Uganda’s Bidi Bidi Refugee (避难者) Settlement, home to 270,000 South Sudanese refugees.
The nonprofit organization, We Share Solar, leads this initiative, providing science and technology projects for students that benefit low-income areas worldwide. The projects teach middle schoolers basic electrical concepts like charges, voltage, amps, and wiring, resulting in a 12-volt DC solar power system for the refugee community.
“We’ve learned many things like positives and negatives, amps, volts, all that stuff, and how to wire stuff together,” said Pratham Mehta, one of the Thurgood Marshall students. “We’re taking all this stuff for granted, and other countries don’t have all this stuff, like electricity.”
The suitcases will bring electricity to 40 schools in the refugee settlement, which provide education for over 12,000 students. They are designed to be easily transported (thus the suitcase design), which makes them ideal for locations without electricity, like a refugee camp.
The panels in the suitcase collect sunlight and harness the energy in a built-in battery. It can then provide power for up to five light bulbs for 50 to 60 hours a week. Depending on the capacity of the system, it can also help power small electronics like phones or radios. For people in the Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement, this kind of power can make an enormous impact.
In fact, We Share Solar has distributed over 1,000 suitcases to “energy-scarce locations” across the world, with more than 500,000 students and teachers benefitting from the power they provide.
“The We Share Solar education program serves youth twice,” said Hal Aronson, cofounder of the organization, “first as an educational experience for American youth and second as a renewable power and lighting system for youth in parts of the world that lack electricity.”
24. How are Thurgood Marshall Middle School’s students learning about STEM?
A. By listening to lectures. B. By reading about it in books.
C. By discussing with classmates. D. By working on a hands-on project.
25. Why is the solar power system designed in the shape of a suitcase?
A. To make it easier to carry. B. To make it more stylish.
C. To make it more expensive. D. To make it more long-lasting.
26. What is an ultimate goal of We Share Solar’s education program?
A. To profit from selling solar suitcases.
B. To benefit schools in energy-poor areas.
C. To create a competition among middle schoolers.
D. To promote the use of renewable energy in the world.
27. Which of the following words can best describe We Share Solar?
A. Local and restricted. B. Profitable and commercial.
C. Educational and impactful. D. Traditional and conservative.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C

Driving has significant downsides, including pollution, traffic, and crashes. In 2023, an estimated 40,990 people died in car crashes in the U.S., with millions more injured in nonfatal collisions (碰撞). These crashes often result from human errors, such as drunk drive, distraction, or misjudgment. Despite efforts to mitigate these errors through traffic enforcement and safer road design, human mistakes remain a major issue.
Self-driving cars, like those developed by Waymo, offer a promising solution. Waymo’s robotaxis have driven 33 million miles, primarily in San Francisco and Phoenix, and have been involved in 62% fewer police-reported crashes, 78% fewer injury-causing crashes, and 81% fewer severe crashes compared to human-driven cars. These figures might even understate the safety benefits, as other drivers are often partially responsible for collisions with autonomous vehicles.
While incidents like the Cruise robotaxi accident, where a human driver hit a passer-by who was then dragged by the autonomous vehicle, raise concerns, human drivers also cause terrible accidents. The key question is whether autonomous vehicles are safer overall and can be made even safer through careful monitoring and innovation.
Data from California shows that most crashes involving Waymo and Cruise vehicles were low-speed and often caused by other drivers. Although it’s too early to determine the full impact of self-driving cars on fatal crashes, the potential for reducing human error is significant. As more autonomous vehicles hit the road, the number of crashes caused by human drivers could decrease, leading to broader societal benefits, including reduced healthcare costs and fewer legal issues related to traffic accidents.
The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association has proposed a policy framework to speed the adoption of self-driving cars, advocating for clear federal guidelines and a national safety data base. While autonomous driving technology is still in its beginning and faces challenges like navigating snow and ice, policymakers should work to remove regulatory barriers and ensure safety standards are met.
In conclusion, while human drivers won’t disappear soon, self-driving cars have the potential to significantly improve road safety and reduce the economic and social costs of traffic accidents.
28. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Ease. B. Expand. C. Explain. D. Embrace.
29. What can we infer from Waymo’s robotaxi data?
A. Robotaxis are unbelievably safe. B. They are safer than human-driven cars.
C. They might cause more severe crashes. D. Other drivers are unlikely to hit robotaxis.
30. What is one challenge mentioned for self-driving cars?
A. They cannot operate in big cities. B. They are not accepted by the public.
C. They are too expensive to produce. D. They may struggle in snow and ice.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Self-driving technologies have brought about profits environmentally.
B. Human drivers will be replaced by self-driving cars in the near future.
C. Policymakers should focus on developing self-driving technologies.
D. Self-driving cars have a promising future with great benefits.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D

Directly measuring soil carbon rather than relying on predictive models can provide hard evidence of how much carbon is being stored, allowing for better assessments of confidence in carbon markets for croplands, according to a study co-authored by Yale School of the Environment scientists.
The research team found that sampling 10% of fields over large areas and longer periods provides reliable data. By directly measuring soil carbon, the credits sold accurately reflect carbon storage. This ensures buyers’ confidence in real climate benefits and reduces costs as projects increase.
“The study suggests that we can do direct measurement at scale (规模), taking its application beyond carbon markets to other greenhouse gas accounting efforts like those conducted by countries to report their national emissions, said co-author Mark Bradford, the E.H. Harriman Professor of Soils and Ecosystem Ecology.
To help farmers calculate the cost-benefit of soil management projects, Eric Potash, a research scientist from the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at the University of Illinois, developed an open-source web app that allows users to explore the costs and profitability of soil carbon projects based on specific parameters: project size, duration, analysis costs, and sampling strategy.
“This study suggests that people may be able to reliably quantify how much soil carbon is changing due to adoption of climate-smart agricultural and regenerative practices,” said Bradford. “If you can address the measurement and verification concerns around how soil carbon stocks are actually responding, it will help prioritize policies and investments that achieve soil restoration and protection, leading to improved water and nutrient retention in soils, aeration, and soil biodiversity. Such healthy soils will be more resilient to extreme weather and build food security.”
32. Compared to predictive models, what’s the advantage of directly measuring soil carbon?
A. It offers more accurate carbon data. B. It is more cost-effective for small farms.
C. It needs less time to produce the outcome. D. It focuses only on greenhouse gas emissions.
33. What does Mark Bradford think of direct soil carbon measurement?
A. It has a broad application. B. It is only for research purposes.
C. It has a limitation on carbon markets. D. It is too costly for widespread adoption.
34. Why was an open-source web app developed?
A. To monitor global carbon emissions. B. To provide farmers with soil health data.
C. To facilitate the trading of carbon credits. D. To help assess the economics of the soil carbon project.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Insights into Carbon Market Regulations B. The Role of Predictive Models in Agriculture
C. Exploring Soil Carbon in Modern Agriculture D. Direct Soil Carbon Measurement: a New Frontier
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍设定生活边界的重要性,还给出写回应脚本、认清自身限度等具体方法,点明其并非拒人于外而是构建理想生活。
【36题详解】
上文“Life can get overwhelming when you’re constantly pulled in different directions. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin between work, family, friends, and personal responsibilities.(当你总是被不同的事情牵绊时,生活可能会变得让人难以承受。在工作、家庭、朋友和个人责任之间,你很容易感到分身乏术)”说明人们在生活中易被各种事务牵绊而分身乏术的现状。空后“They help protect your time, energy, and mental well-being. Here experts in well-being and organizational behavior shared strategies for setting limits.(它们有助于保护你的时间、精力和心理健康。在此,健康和组织行为学专家分享了设定界限的策略)”说明某物能保护自身状态,且后文将介绍设定界限的方法,空处需要承上启下,引出“边界”这一核心概念,同时让空后“They”有明确指代。选项C“That’s where boundaries come in.(这就是边界的作用所在)”承接前文的生活困境,引出“边界”,且空后“They”指代该选项中的“boundaries”,完美衔接后文内容,符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
上文“Write a script. If you’re not used to saying no, you can write down what you’re going to say beforehand and practice it.(写一个回应脚本。如果你不习惯说不,你可以事先把要说的话写下来并练习)”说明设定边界的第一个方法是写拒绝的回应脚本。空后“You can simply say you’re not available at that time, followed by “Thanks for asking, and I hope to have more capacity next time”.(你可以简单地说你那时没空,然后加上“谢谢你的邀请,希望下次我有更多时间”)”给出了简单的拒绝话术,空处需要衔接前后文,说明拒绝时的一个核心原则。选项F“You don’t have to explain yourself when declining a request.(拒绝请求时,你不必为自己解释)”承接前文写拒绝脚本的建议,又为后文的简单拒绝话术做了理论铺垫,符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
空后“When faced with a new work request, take five minutes to assess your workload, energy level and priorities before responding. Pay attention to the activities and interactions that leave you feeling drained or overwhelmed. Put those kinds of events on a “No List”. The list doesn’t mean you decline every time you’re asked, but don’t say yes right away.(当面临新的工作请求时,先花五分钟评估你的工作量、精力水平和工作重点,然后再回应。留意那些让你感到疲惫或难以承受的活动和交往,把这类事情列入“拒绝清单”。这份清单并不意味着你每次被邀请都要拒绝,而是不要马上答应)”具体说明要评估自身状态、明确该拒绝的事,核心是要清楚自己的能力和承受限度,空处作为段首句,需要总领本段内容,概括核心观点。选项A“Know your limits.(认清你的限度)”精准概括本段“评估自身状态、不盲目答应请求”的核心内容,能总领后文所有表述,符合语境。故选A。
【39题详解】
上文“Harness technology. Mobile devices make it easier to work from anywhere, and harder to draw boundaries.(利用科技手段。移动设备让随时随地工作变得更容易,也让设定边界变得更困难)”说明利用科技的背景下,移动设备给设定边界带来了干扰和困难。空后“For example, if you check emails far too frequently, move the email app from your phone’s homepage to the second page.(例如,如果你查邮件太频繁,就把邮件应用从手机主页移到第二页)”给出了调整移动设备使用的具体方法,空处需要衔接前后文,体现出可以通过方法调整设备以减少干扰。选项G“But there are ways to adjust them so they are less distracting.(但有一些方法可以调整它们,让它们不那么让人分心)”中But表转折,承接前文移动设备带来的困难,“them”指代前文的“Mobile devices”,又为后文的具体调整方法做铺垫,符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
上文“Setting boundaries isn’t about shutting people out.(设定边界并不是要把别人拒之门外)”说明设定边界的一个误区,否定了“拒人于外”的错误理解。空后“Creating healthy limits protects your energy, prioritizes your happiness, and builds stronger relationships.(建立健康的界限能保护你的精力,把你的快乐放在首位,还能建立更牢固的人际关系)”说明建立健康边界的积极作用,空处需要衔接前文,正面说明设定边界的真正含义。选项D“It means making space for the life you want.(它意味着为你想要的生活创造空间)”中“It”指代前文的“Setting boundaries”,承接前文的否定表述,正面阐释设定边界的真正意义,与后文的积极作用相呼应,符合语境。故选D。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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 1989, I had just received my master’s degree in Texas. Since I had been away from home for six years, I had so many issues left undone, so my father flew out to help me. We rented a truck with a trailer (挂车) for my car, loaded every single possession I owned onto that truck, and began the 1,500-mile drive back to Delaware. My cat and two dogs served as extra passengers.
We stopped for gas at a rural station off a stretch of highway in Arkansas. My father started the pump (加油泵) and added some oil while I took the animals to a neighboring field for some exercise. Apparently, some oil spilled onto the hot motor, and caught fire. The motor was on fire! Dad asked the servant for a fire extinguisher (灭火器) and was told, “Somebody used it last week. Haven’t filled it back up yet.” What about the fire department? The servant replied, “Wouldn’t do any good. They’re too far away. Would you mind pulling it away from the pump before it blows?”
I had been unaware of the events leading up to this point as I was walking my pets, but as my father grew more anxious I heard his voice rising. When I turned back to observe the scene, I knew we were all in great danger. The fire was several feet high now and the pump was still running! I stood helpless in the field thinking that everything I had — especially my father — was about to explode.
Just then, three boys in a battered pickup truck pulled into the station. They had just finished a long day of fishing. Though they didn’t have any fish, they did have a very large cooler with melted ice and water. “Need any help?” they asked. Well, it seemed obvious that we did. “Is the motor running?” No, the motor wasn’t running! We were pumping gas! It’s bad enough that we were so frightened out of our senses so the pump continued to run after the flames erupted.
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。
“Shut the pump!” one of them said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We drank the water given by the three boys.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Shut the pump!” one of them said. “Shut the pump so we can take control of this fire. DO IT!” With no better idea, my father shut the pump. They raised their cooler and poured it over the motor to put out the fire. It was enough water that it worked! The fire was out. Sitting on the ground, tired and frightened, my father and I were speechless. The three boys acted as if nothing had happened. They brought some bottles of water and handed them to us.
We drank the water given by the three boys. Thankfully, my father brought some money from the truck and wanted to give the three boys. Smilingly, they refused, saying it was their honour to help people in need. Before departure, they shook hands with us, comforted us and told us to pass the act of kindness onto others. It still amazes me to this day. We were all in such a dangerous position, yet these boys remained calm. Thanks to their quick thinking and action, we made it safely to Delaware.

Seventh graders at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Rockford, Illinois, are learning about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) along with real-world challenges. They have started a new project: assembling “solar suitcases” to provide electricity for schools in Uganda’s Bidi Bidi Refugee (避难者) Settlement, home to 270,000 South Sudanese refugees.
The nonprofit organization, We Share Solar, leads this initiative, providing science and technology projects for students that benefit low-income areas worldwide. The projects teach middle schoolers basic electrical concepts like charges, voltage, amps, and wiring, resulting in a 12-volt DC solar power system for the refugee community.
“We’ve learned many things like positives and negatives, amps, volts, all that stuff, and how to wire stuff together,” said Pratham Mehta, one of the Thurgood Marshall students. “We’re taking all this stuff for granted, and other countries don’t have all this stuff, like electricity.”
The suitcases will bring electricity to 40 schools in the refugee settlement, which provide education for over 12,000 students. They are designed to be easily transported (thus the suitcase design), which makes them ideal for locations without electricity, like a refugee camp.
The panels in the suitcase collect sunlight and harness the energy in a built-in battery. It can then provide power for up to five light bulbs for 50 to 60 hours a week. Depending on the capacity of the system, it can also help power small electronics like phones or radios. For people in the Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement, this kind of power can make an enormous impact.
In fact, We Share Solar has distributed over 1,000 suitcases to “energy-scarce locations” across the world, with more than 500,000 students and teachers benefitting from the power they provide.
“The We Share Solar education program serves youth twice,” said Hal Aronson, cofounder of the organization, “first as an educational experience for American youth and second as a renewable power and lighting system for youth in parts of the world that lack electricity.”
24. How are Thurgood Marshall Middle School’s students learning about STEM?
A. By listening to lectures. B. By reading about it in books.
C. By discussing with classmates. D. By working on a hands-on project.
25. Why is the solar power system designed in the shape of a suitcase?
A. To make it easier to carry. B. To make it more stylish.
C. To make it more expensive. D. To make it more long-lasting.
26. What is an ultimate goal of We Share Solar’s education program?
A. To profit from selling solar suitcases.
B To benefit schools in energy-poor areas.
C. To create a competition among middle schoolers.
D. To promote the use of renewable energy in the world.
27. Which of the following words can best describe We Share Solar?
A Local and restricted. B. Profitable and commercial.
C. Educational and impactful. D. Traditional and conservative.
C
Driving has significant downsides, including pollution, traffic, and crashes. In 2023, an estimated 40,990 people died in car crashes in the U.S., with millions more injured in nonfatal collisions (碰撞). These crashes often result from human errors, such as drunk drive, distraction, or misjudgment. Despite efforts to mitigate these errors through traffic enforcement and safer road design, human mistakes remain a major issue.
Self-driving cars, like those developed by Waymo, offer a promising solution. Waymo’s robotaxis have driven 33 million miles, primarily in San Francisco and Phoenix, and have been involved in 62% fewer police-reported crashes, 78% fewer injury-causing crashes, and 81% fewer severe crashes compared to human-driven cars. These figures might even understate the safety benefits, as other drivers are often partially responsible for collisions with autonomous vehicles.
While incidents like the Cruise robotaxi accident, where a human driver hit a passer-by who was then dragged by the autonomous vehicle, raise concerns, human drivers also cause terrible accidents. The key question is whether autonomous vehicles are safer overall and can be made even safer through careful monitoring and innovation.
Data from California shows that most crashes involving Waymo and Cruise vehicles were low-speed and often caused by other drivers. Although it’s too early to determine the full impact of self-driving cars on fatal crashes, the potential for reducing human error is significant. As more autonomous vehicles hit the road, the number of crashes caused by human drivers could decrease, leading to broader societal benefits, including reduced healthcare costs and fewer legal issues related to traffic accidents.
The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association has proposed a policy framework to speed the adoption of self-driving cars, advocating for clear federal guidelines and a national safety data base. While autonomous driving technology is still in its beginning and faces challenges like navigating snow and ice, policymakers should work to remove regulatory barriers and ensure safety standards are met.
In conclusion, while human drivers won’t disappear soon, self-driving cars have the potential to significantly improve road safety and reduce the economic and social costs of traffic accidents.
28. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Ease. B. Expand. C. Explain. D. Embrace.
29. What can we infer from Waymo’s robotaxi data?
A. Robotaxis are unbelievably safe. B. They are safer than human-driven cars.
C. They might cause more severe crashes. D. Other drivers are unlikely to hit robotaxis.
30. What is one challenge mentioned for self-driving cars?
A. They cannot operate in big cities. B. They are not accepted by the public.
C. They are too expensive to produce. D. They may struggle in snow and ice.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Self-driving technologies have brought about profits environmentally.
B. Human drivers will be replaced by self-driving cars in the near future.
C. Policymakers should focus on developing self-driving technologies.
D. Self-driving cars have a promising future with great benefits.
D
Directly measuring soil carbon rather than relying on predictive models can provide hard evidence of how much carbon is being stored, allowing for better assessments of confidence in carbon markets for croplands, according to a study co-authored by Yale School of the Environment scientists.
The research team found that sampling 10% of fields over large areas and longer periods provides reliable data. By directly measuring soil carbon, the credits sold accurately reflect carbon storage. This ensures buyers’ confidence in real climate benefits and reduces costs as projects increase.
“The study suggests that we can do direct measurement at scale (规模), taking its application beyond carbon markets to other greenhouse gas accounting efforts like those conducted by countries to report their national emissions, said co-author Mark Bradford, the E.H. Harriman Professor of Soils and Ecosystem Ecology.
To help farmers calculate the cost-benefit of soil management projects, Eric Potash, a research scientist from the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at the University of Illinois, developed an open-source web app that allows users to explore the costs and profitability of soil carbon projects based on specific parameters: project size, duration, analysis costs, and sampling strategy.
“This study suggests that people may be able to reliably quantify how much soil carbon is changing due to adoption of climate-smart agricultural and regenerative practices,” said Bradford. “If you can address the measurement and verification concerns around how soil carbon stocks are actually responding, it will help prioritize policies and investments that achieve soil restoration and protection, leading to improved water and nutrient retention in soils, aeration, and soil biodiversity. Such healthy soils will be more resilient to extreme weather and build food security.”
32. Compared to predictive models, what’s the advantage of directly measuring soil carbon?
A. It offers more accurate carbon data. B. It is more cost-effective for small farms.
C. It needs less time to produce the outcome. D. It focuses only on greenhouse gas emissions.
33. What does Mark Bradford think of direct soil carbon measurement?
A. It has a broad application. B. It is only for research purposes.
C. It has a limitation on carbon markets. D. It is too costly for widespread adoption.
34. Why was an open-source web app developed?
A. To monitor global carbon emissions. B. To provide farmers with soil health data.
C. To facilitate the trading of carbon credits. D. To help assess the economics of the soil carbon project.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Insights into Carbon Market Regulations B. The Role of Predictive Models in Agriculture
C. Exploring Soil Carbon in Modern Agriculture D. Direct Soil Carbon Measurement: a New Frontier

In 1989, I had just received my master’s degree in Texas. Since I had been away from home for six years, I had so many issues left undone, so my father flew out to help me. We rented a truck with a trailer (挂车) for my car, loaded every single possession I owned onto that truck, and began the 1,500-mile drive back to Delaware. My cat and two dogs served as extra passengers.
We stopped for gas at a rural station off a stretch of highway in Arkansas. My father started the pump (加油泵) and added some oil while I took the animals to a neighboring field for some exercise. Apparently, some oil spilled onto the hot motor, and caught fire. The motor was on fire! Dad asked the servant for a fire extinguisher (灭火器) and was told, “Somebody used it last week. Haven’t filled it back up yet.” What about the fire department? The servant replied, “Wouldn’t do any good. They’re too far away. Would you mind pulling it away from the pump before it blows?”
I had been unaware of the events leading up to this point as I was walking my pets, but as my father grew more anxious I heard his voice rising. When I turned back to observe the scene, I knew we were all in great danger. The fire was several feet high now and the pump was still running! I stood helpless in the field thinking that everything I had — especially my father — was about to explode.
Just then, three boys in a battered pickup truck pulled into the station. They had just finished a long day of fishing. Though they didn’t have any fish, they did have a very large cooler with melted ice and water. “Need any help?” they asked. Well, it seemed obvious that we did. “Is the motor running?” No, the motor wasn’t running! We were pumping gas! It’s bad enough that we were so frightened out of our senses so the pump continued to run after the flames erupted.
