Seven years ago, college senior Joey Romano broke his wrist skateboarding near the University of Texas at Austin. With poor insurance, he worried about the high cost of an ambulance, so he called an Uber instead. The driver, Beni Lukumu, helped him into the car and drove him to urgent care, which quickly sent him to the emergency room (ER).
Learning Romano had no family nearby, Lukumu, who’d immigrated from the Congo at 25 and knew the pain of being far from loved ones, insisted on staying. Despite a busy day of rides, he signed Romano into the ER and sat with him from 2 to 8 p.m., missing hours of work. “He needed somebody to be by his side,” Lukumu later said. At the time, Romano was under treatment and recalled, “I remember feeling glad he was there. He has this warm presence, and strangely, it felt like we had known each other forever.”
Unknown to Lukumu, Romano was in one of the darkest periods of his life. His brother Johnny had died of cancer in 2008, and Romano had a hard time with sorrow. “After losing my brother, I just became really lonely. I could barely take care of myself, let alone others. I shut down and closed myself off. I became really cold,” he said.
Lukumu’s kindness became a turning point. When Romano’s grandmother arrived to take him home and offered a reward, Lukumu refused but joined them for dinner — a gesture that began a friendship lasting over seven years. “That one act of kindness helped me see the good in the world again,” Romano said, “Having him spend his entire day with me — a complete stranger, out of the goodness of his heart — helped me put things into perspective. Lukumu absolutely changed my life.”
Today, Lukumu works in the insurance industry in Austin, while Romano is a renewable energy developer. They check in on each other a couple of times a year. It all started with a shared ride — an encounter they’re both still grateful for.
4. Why did Romano call an Uber instead of an ambulance?
A. Because he knew an Uber driver. B. Because he preferred Uber’s service.
C. Because he couldn’t reach an ambulance. D. Because his insurance coverage was limited.
5. What did Lukumu do for Romano at the ER?
A. He helped Romano find a doctor. B. He paid for Romano’s medical bills.
C. He managed to contact Romano’s relatives. D. He kept Romano company for several hours.
6. Which word best describes Romano before he met Lukumu?
A. Peaceful. B. Regretful. C. Withdrawn. D. Ambitious.
7. What message does the story convey?
A. Love and kindness can restore faith in life.
B. Good luck can change a hopeless situation.
C. Long-distance friendship requires regular contact.
D. Career success comes from unexpected encounters.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了优步司机Lukumu在乘客Romano受伤后,陪伴其就医数小时,这一善举触动了因丧亲之痛而自我封闭的Romano,成为他的转折点,并开启了一段珍贵友谊。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“With poor insurance, he worried about the high cost of an ambulance, so he called an Uber instead. (由于没有足够的保险,他担心救护车的费用太高,所以他叫了一辆优步。)”可知,Romano叫的是优步而非救护车是因为他的保险覆盖范围有限。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Despite a busy day of rides, he signed Romano into the ER and sat with him from 2 to 8 p.m., missing hours of work. (尽管这一天他接了很多单,但他还是将Romano送进了急诊室,并从下午2点一直陪着他到8点,因此错过了好几个工作小时。)”可知,Lukumu在急诊室陪伴了Romano好几个小时。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Romano所说话“After losing my brother, I just became really lonely. I could barely take care of myself, let alone others. I shut down and closed myself off. I became really cold (在失去哥哥之后,我变得异常孤独。我自己都难以照顾好自己,更别提照顾别人了。我封闭了自己,把自己孤立起来。我变得非常冷漠。)”可知,Romano当时封闭自己,变得冷漠,其状态是孤僻的。A. 平和的;B. 后悔的;D. 雄心勃勃的。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中Romano所说的话“Having him spend his entire day with me — a complete stranger, out of the goodness of his heart — helped me put things into perspective. Lukumu absolutely changed my life. (有他整日与我相处——一个完全陌生的人,出于他的善心——这让我得以正确看待一切。Lukumu彻底改变了我的人生。)”可知,故事的核心是Lukumu对一个陌生人的无私陪伴,这一善举将正处于人生黑暗期、自我封闭的Romano拉了出来,让他重拾对世界和生活的信心。由此可知,爱与善意可以恢复对生活的信念。故选A项。
C
People have been trying to create glowing (发光) plants for decades. The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see. Last year, US biotech company Light Bio launched the Firefly Petunia, the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale. It claims that the plant’s brightness is “similar to moonlight”, but judging from photos on social media, it’s nowhere near as bright as a full moon.
There is a reason why this is so difficult. Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light.
Given this fact, plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights. To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it’s found that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants, so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand.
But making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is cheating. At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential pollution issue when the plants die and are thrown out.
If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wave lengths into usable ones and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark.
8. What makes it hard for plants to glow brightly?
A. The low light-use efficiency. B. The influence of the environment.
C. The complexity of plant growth. D. The long photosynthetic process.
9. How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants?
A. By thickening their leaves. B. By providing more artificial light.
C. By filling some special chemicals. D. By lengthening their exposure to sunlight.
10. What can we learn about phosphorescent plants?
A. They are sensitive to light. B. They have limited color variety.
C. They are expensive to maintain. D. They do harm to the environment.
11. What’s the function of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the achievement in plant research.
B. To present ways of taking full advantage of light.
C. To explore the future application of glowing plants.
D. To propose a new research focus in creating glowing plants.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了创造发光植物所面临的挑战,介绍了当前物理添加磷光剂的方法及其局限性,并提出了未来的研究方向。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light. (植物的能量来源于光,但光合作用的效率极低。据估计,大多数植物只能吸收照射在它们身上的光能的不到2%,而这些光能对于植物的生存和生长是必不可少的。这就使得能够重新转化为光能的量少之又少。)”可知,植物发光困难的原因在于光合作用效率极低。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. (为了解决这个问题,一些研究小组转而尝试在成熟植物上直接添加磷光体,这是一种能在黑暗中发光的储存光的材料,这种方法比光合作用更为高效。)”可知,一些研究小组通过填充一些特殊的化学物质来提高植物的亮度。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“There is also a potential pollution issue when the plants die and are thrown out. (此外,当这些植物死亡并被丢弃时,还可能存在污染问题。)”可知,被添加磷光剂的植物会对环境造成伤害。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wave lengths into usable ones and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. (如果这些植物经过基因改造,能够自身生成持久且完全可生物降解的磷光体,那情况就会大不相同。实际上,赋予植物这种能力甚至可能提高光合作用的效率。能够暂时“储存”光线有助于保持光线稳定,将不可用的波长转化为可用的波长,并使光合作用能够在夜间持续进行。)”可知,该段提出通过基因工程让植物自己生产可生物降解的磷光体的设想,并说明其额外好处。因此,本段的作用是提出创造发光植物的一个新研究方向。故选D项。
D
An annual report on health and climate change published in The Lancet found that an estimated 2.5 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. It also found that heat exposure deaths have risen sharply by 23 percent since the 1990s. In total, 12 out of 20 health indicators fell to record levels for two years. All health risks of climate change are worsening.
Despite the large numbers of deaths associated with fossil fuel pollution, governments still spent $956 billion funding oil and gas companies in 2023. “We are seeing the expansion of oil and gas globally and that is threatening our survival,” said Dr Marina Romanello, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown.
New analysis shows the recently drafted national climate plans from more than 60 countries fall short of what is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate breakdown. Taken together, these plans to reduce carbon over the next decade would only reduce global emissions (排放) by about 10 per cent by 2035 compared with 2019 levels. Dr Romanello said, “The most concerning finding is the declining of climate change commitments and actions from world leaders. Our population is at great risk. In the UK, half of National Health Service (NHS) hospitals have already been forced to close wards (病房) or change services due to flooding, while others struggle during heatwaves.”
Despite these warnings, some progress has been made. Cleaner air due to coal phase-outs has saved an estimated 160,000 lives annually, and renewable energy generation reached record highs. The green economy is now three times faster-growing than fossil fuels, supporting more than 16 million jobs in 2023.
“We’re already seeing big benefits from tackling climate change. We need to ensure that the transition supports people and their well-being and their health. Otherwise the transition will be useless. With every moment of inaction, those threats will worsen, and protecting people will become increasingly challenging, if not impossible,” said Dr Romanello.
12. The author lists the data in paragraph 1 to show ________.
A. the speed of global warming B. the benefits of climate policies
C. the rise of human health indicators D. the impact of climate change on human health
13. What can be inferred about governments from paragraph 2?
A. They invest insufficiently in public service. B. They take little consideration of public health.
C. They plan to limit the expansion of oil and gas. D. They are cooperating closely with health experts.
14. What is Dr. Romanello’s attitude towards the national climate plans?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Objective.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The economic cost of climate inaction. B. Warnings and progress in the climate crisis.
C. A scientific guide to phasing out fossil fuels. D. The environmental impact of renewable energy.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示了气候变化正严重威胁人类健康,并批评了政府行动不足,同时指出向清洁能源转型已带来健康和经济方面的积极进展,强调必须加速行动以保护人类福祉。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“An annual report on health and climate change published in The Lancet found that an estimated 2.5 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. It also found that heat exposure deaths have risen sharply by 23 percent since the 1990s. In total, 12 out of 20 health indicators fell to record levels for two years. All health risks of climate change are worsening. (《柳叶刀》杂志发布的一份有关健康与气候变化的年度报告指出,每年约有250万人因空气污染而死亡。该报告还发现,自20世纪90年代以来,因高温暴露导致的死亡人数大幅增加了23%。总体而言,20项健康指标中有12项在两年内降至历史最低水平。所有与气候变化相关的健康风险都在加剧。)”可知,这些列出的数据,包括空气污染致死人数、高温暴露死亡增长率、健康指标恶化,都表明气候变化对人类健康的影响。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Despite the large numbers of deaths associated with fossil fuel pollution, governments still spent $956 billion funding oil and gas companies in 2023. (尽管化石燃料污染导致了大量人员死亡,但政府在2023年仍向石油和天然气公司投入了9560亿美元的资金。)”以及Marina Romanello所说的话“We are seeing the expansion of oil and gas globally and that is threatening our survival (我们正目睹全球范围内石油和天然气资源的大量开采,这正威胁着我们的生存。)”可知,政府行为与已知的公共健康风险之间存在矛盾。由此推知,政府在决策时很少考虑公众健康。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Marina Romanello所说的话“The most concerning finding is the declining of climate change commitments and actions from world leaders. Our population is at great risk. In the UK, half of National Health Service (NHS) hospitals have already been forced to close wards (病房) or change services due to flooding, while others struggle during heatwaves. (最令人担忧的发现是世界各国领导人对气候变化的承诺和行动都在减少。我们的民众面临着巨大的风险。在英国,一半的国民医疗服务体系(NHS)医院已经因洪水被迫关闭病房或改变服务,而其他医院则在高温天气中苦苦挣扎。)”可知,Romanello指出领导人的承诺和行动在减弱,导致民众面临巨大风险。由此可知,她对这些国家气候计划是批判的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中“Despite these warnings, some progress has been made. (尽管存在这些警告,但还是取得了一些进展。)”可知,文章第一、二、三段主要阐述了气候危机对人类健康造成的严重威胁,以及各国应对行动不足的问题,第四段转而介绍了在减少污染、发展可再生能源和绿色经济方面取得的进展,最后一段再次强调行动的必要性。因此,文章主要是关于“气候危机中的警告与进展”。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays we are quick to take offense, slow to forgive, and often too proud to admit when we are wrong. Yet perhaps if we brushed up our apology skills, we could help relieve the tension in our communities and our world, one honest admission at a time.
____16____ They acknowledge the worth of the person we have wronged and the shared respect that still connects us, even when trust has been broken. In 2016, Professor Roy Lewicki and colleagues examined what makes an apology effective. They identified six essential elements: Expression of regret; Explanation of what went wrong; Acknowledgment of responsibility; Declaration of regret; Offer of repair; Request for forgiveness.
While all six play a role, the researchers found that two stood above the rest: acknowledging responsibility and offering to repair the damage. It turns out that the most powerful words in an apology are the simplest: “It was my fault.” ____17____ It tells the other person that you see what happened clearly and that you are willing to own your part in it. ____18____ As Professor Lewicki points out, talk is… just words. That’s why the second most important part of an apology is the offer of repair. Saying “I’ll fix what I broke” transforms regret into action.
Other elements still matter. But interestingly, the least important piece was asking for forgiveness. Perhaps that’s because it’s not something you can demand. ____19____
We can’t control how the world acts, but we can live out the humbleness and responsibility that make harmony possible. ____20____ In a time when divisions feel unending, a good apology is not just words, it’s an act of repair for the fabric of our shared lives.
A. But responsibility alone is not enough.
B. Apologies matter as they bridge hurt and healing.
C. Still, we all know not all apologies are created equal.
D. A sincere apology releases anger and brings back connection.
E. Taking responsibility breaks down defensiveness and excuses.
F. It’s a gift the other person chooses to give when they’re ready.
G. With these six steps, our conflicts will find a new path forward.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了真诚道歉的关键在于主动承担责任并提出具体修复措施,这比单纯请求原谅更能修复关系、促进社会和谐。
【16题详解】
前文“Yet perhaps if we brushed up our apology skills, we could help relieve the tension in our communities and our world (然而,或许如果我们能提升自己的道歉技巧,我们就能逐步缓解我们所在社区以及整个世界中的紧张局势)”提出提升道歉技巧可缓解社会紧张的观点,后文“They acknowledge the worth of the person we have wronged and the shared respect that still connects us, even when trust has been broken. (它们承认了我们对不起的人的价值,承认了即使信任被打破,我们仍然相互尊重。)”阐述道歉的作用,因此B项“Apologies matter as they bridge hurt and healing. (道歉很重要,因为它们连接了伤害与治愈。)”符合语境,肯定道歉的价值,承接首段的观点,并引出后文对道歉价值的进一步解释,其中的Apologies是后文They指代的对象。故选B。
【17题详解】
前文“It turns out that the most powerful words in an apology are the simplest: “It was my fault.” (结果表明,在道歉中最具说服力的话语往往是那些最简单的:“这是我的错。”)”指出道歉中最有力量的话是承认错误,后文“It tells the other person that you see what happened clearly and that you are willing to own your part in it. (这向对方表明,你清楚地了解所发生的事情,并且愿意承担自己在其中应负的责任。)”解释承认错误这一行为的作用,因此E项“Taking responsibility breaks down defensiveness and excuses. (承担责任打破了防御心理和借口。)”符合语境,点明承认错误这一行为带来的心理效果,承接前文,后文是对其具体解释,其中的Taking responsibility是后文It指代的对象。故选E。
【18题详解】
前文“It tells the other person that you see what happened clearly and that you are willing to own your part in it. (这向对方表明,你清楚地了解所发生的事情,并且愿意承担自己在其中应负的责任。)”解释承认错误这一行为的作用,后文“As Professor Lewicki points out, talk is… just words. That’s why the second most important part of an apology is the offer of repair. (正如Lewicki教授指出的那样,谈话只是说说而已。这就是为什么道歉中第二重要的部分就是提出修复措施。)”引用Lewicki教授的观点,指出修复在道歉中也很重要,因此A项“But responsibility alone is not enough. (但仅有责任是不够的。)”符合语境,和前文构成转折,引出后文对修复的论述。故选A。
【19题详解】
前文“But interestingly, the least important piece was asking for forgiveness. Perhaps that’s because it’s not something you can demand. (但有趣的是,其中最不重要的部分是请求原谅。也许这是因为这并非是你能够强求的东西。)”指出请求原谅最不重要,并说明这不能被强求,因此F项“It’s a gift the other person chooses to give when they’re ready. (这是对方在准备好时选择给予的一份礼物。)”符合语境,解释请求原谅不能被强求的理由,承接前文,其中的It指代前文的forgiveness。故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“We can’t control how the world acts, but we can live out the humbleness and responsibility that make harmony possible. (我们无法左右世界的运行方式,但我们可以秉持谦逊与责任感,从而促成和谐共处。)”总结个人可以秉持谦逊与责任感,后文“In a time when divisions feel unending, a good apology is not just words, it’s an act of repair for the fabric of our shared lives. (在这样一个分歧不断加剧的时代,一次恰当的道歉绝不仅仅是简单的言语表达,它更是一种修复我们共同生活结构的行为。)”升华道歉的意义,因此D项“A sincere apology releases anger and brings back connection. (真诚的道歉能释放愤怒,并重新建立连接。)”符合语境,说明前文做法的积极效果,引出后文的升华。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过95后广州导游何伟静的视角,展现了中国入境旅游的快速增长趋势,并分析了增长的原因。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为一位在广州长大的95后导游,她已经工作两年了。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作tour guide的后置定语,grow up“长大”和tour guide逻辑上是主动关系,因此用grow的现在分词形式。故填growing。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她英语、粤语和意大利语都很流利,将自己视为故事讲述者和文化大使。空处作状语,形容词fluent符合题意,意为“流利的”,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Fluent。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:她的经历反映了一个如今在全世界正变得越来越普遍的趋势。空处作句子的谓语,此处在描述通常性的事实,时态应用一般现在时,且主语Her experience为单数,reflect“反映”应用第三人称单数形式。故填reflects。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:根据国家移民管理局的数据,2025年1月至8月,中国共记录外国入境人员5127万人次,同比增长27.8%。空处作recorded的宾语,结合“51.27 million”可知,可数名词entry“进入”应用复数形式。故填entries。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她将这一增长归因于简化的签证政策、更实惠的航班以及中国在社交媒体上日益增长的知名度。此处特指上文提到的“27.8 percent year-on-year”这个具体的增长,空处应用定冠词the。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她将这一增长归因于简化的签证政策、更实惠的航班以及中国在社交媒体上日益增长的知名度。空处和more构成比较级,作修饰flights的定语,形容词affordable符合题意,意为“便宜的,付得起的”。故填affordable。
【42题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:许多人过去认为来中国旅游很困难,但现在他们好奇地想亲眼看看中国到底是什么样子。空处引导名词性从句作see的宾语,宾语从句中like后缺少宾语,结合“China is really like”可知,宾语指物,应用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了帮助游客融入这座城市的特色,她设计的旅游路线突出岭南传统——从兼顾通风与隐私的三层半门“趟栊门”,到当地人在庭院里种植的果树。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,“帮助”是谓语行为的目的,因此用help的不定式形式,作目的状语,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填To help。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了帮助游客融入这座城市的特色,她设计的旅游路线突出岭南传统——从兼顾通风与隐私的三层半门“趟栊门”,到当地人在庭院里种植的果树。from... to...是固定搭配,意为“从……到……”,表示范围。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:这是我觉得最值得难忘的部分。空处和most构成最高级,修饰形容词unforgettable,副词rewardingly符合题意,意为“值得做地”。故填rewardingly。

第二节(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。
On a cold winter afternoon, six-year-old Lily in a bright red coat, was playing around the frozen pond behind her house. The ice looked like a giant, smooth mirror in the sun. With a joyful laugh, she stepped onto its edge, sliding carefully at first. She slid more bravely imagining herself a figure skater as the ice seemed strong enough to hold her.
Suddenly, a horrible crack (破碎声) disturbed the quiet. The ice beneath her gave way. The cold pond swallowed her whole. “Help” She screamed. Her heavy coat was wet and heavy, pulling her down. She struggled in the cold water. However, each time she tried to grasp the ice edge, it broke. The freezing cold started to replace the panic.
Her neighbor Mr. Jenkins, who was cleaning his driveway next door, heard the crack. His heart beat fast. He moved as fast as he could to the pond. He saw the red coat under the broken ice. “Hold on! I’m coming” he yelled, lying flat on his stomach to spread his weight. He inched forward, and stretched his arm into the freezing water. He tried to reach the coat. With a strength he didn’t know he had, he grabbed Lily’s arm and pulled. She was so heavy.
He managed to pull her head and shoulders onto the solid ice, but he could not lift her fully out. He was exhausted, trembling violently from cold and effort. What Mr. Jenkins could do was keep her face above the water. His voice was a desperate call for help.
It was then that a couple, Cruse and Michelle, passed by. They noticed the heart-stopping scene: the elderly man lay on the ice, pulling a motionless child in the cold water. There was no time for a lengthy plan. Every second in that water reduced the chance of survival.
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。
Without hesitation, Cruse dived into the icy pond.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks to the teamwork of everyone involved, Lily was sent to the hospital.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Without hesitation, Cruse dived into the icy pond. The freezing water punched the air from his lungs, but he fought the shock, breaking the ice with his elbows toward Lily. “Lock your arm with mine!” he ordered Mr. Jenkins. The elderly man, teeth chattering, managed to hook his arm through Cruse’s belt, anchoring them to the solid ice. Cruse slid his hands under Lily’s armpits, lifting her clear of the water while Michelle crawled forward to drag her red coat. Inch by painful inch, the human chain worked — Cruse lifting, Jenkins anchoring, Michelle pulling — until Lily’s body rolled onto the frozen surface.
Thanks to the teamwork of everyone involved, Lily was sent to the hospital. Wrapped in thermal blankets, she coughed up water and opened her eyes to her parents’ tearful faces. “The red coat,” she whispered, “I saw it in the water...like a flag.” Mr. Jenkins, warmed by hot tea, shook Cruse’s hand with a grip that spoke what words could not. As the doctor announced Lily would recover, the four strangers stood together — an elderly neighbor, a passing couple, a saved child — bound by three minutes on a frozen pond that proved courage spreads faster than cold.
【解析】
【导语】本文以紧急救援为线索,讲述了六岁女孩Lily在结冰池塘玩耍时冰面破裂落水,邻居Jenkins先生不顾个人安危趴伏冰面施救,却因体力不支只能勉强维持Lily头部露出水面。危急时刻,路过的夫妇Cruse和Michelle加入救援,通过团队协作成功将Lily救起,展现了陌生人之间在生死关头迸发的勇气与互助精神。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Cruse毫不犹豫地跳入冰冷的池塘”可知,第一段可描写Cruse入水后的身体反应 (刺骨寒冷、呼吸困难),以及他如何与Jenkins先生配合形成“人链”救援。
②由第二段首句内容“多亏所有人的团队合作,Lily被送往医院"可知,第二段可描写Lily获救后的身体状况 (苏醒、咳水、见到父母),以及救援者们事后的互动 (Jenkins与Cruse握手致谢)。
2. 续写线索:跳水——破冰——形成人链——托举拖拽——成功上岸——送医救治——苏醒相见——陌生人结缘——感悟勇气力量
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①破冰:break the ice / smash the ice / crack the ice
②举起:lift / hold up
③拖拽:drag / pull / tug / haul
情绪类
①含泪的:tearful / weeping / crying
②颤抖:chattering / trembling / shivering
【点睛】[高分句型1] The elderly man, teeth chattering, managed to hook his arm through Cruse’s belt, anchoring them to the solid ice.(运用了独立主格和现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2] As the doctor announced Lily would recover, the four strangers stood together — an elderly neighbor, a passing couple, a saved child — bound by three minutes on a frozen pond that proved courage spreads faster than cold.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的定语从句)

Seven years ago, college senior Joey Romano broke his wrist skateboarding near the University of Texas at Austin. With poor insurance, he worried about the high cost of an ambulance, so he called an Uber instead. The driver, Beni Lukumu, helped him into the car and drove him to urgent care, which quickly sent him to the emergency room (ER).
Learning Romano had no family nearby, Lukumu, who’d immigrated from the Congo at 25 and knew the pain of being far from loved ones, insisted on staying. Despite a busy day of rides, he signed Romano into the ER and sat with him from 2 to 8 p.m., missing hours of work. “He needed somebody to be by his side,” Lukumu later said. At the time, Romano was under treatment and recalled, “I remember feeling glad he was there. He has this warm presence, and strangely, it felt like we had known each other forever.”
Unknown to Lukumu, Romano was in one of the darkest periods of his life. His brother Johnny had died of cancer in 2008, and Romano had a hard time with sorrow. “After losing my brother, I just became really lonely. I could barely take care of myself, let alone others. I shut down and closed myself off. I became really cold,” he said.
Lukumu’s kindness became a turning point. When Romano’s grandmother arrived to take him home and offered a reward, Lukumu refused but joined them for dinner — a gesture that began a friendship lasting over seven years. “That one act of kindness helped me see the good in the world again,” Romano said, “Having him spend his entire day with me — a complete stranger, out of the goodness of his heart — helped me put things into perspective. Lukumu absolutely changed my life.”
Today, Lukumu works in the insurance industry in Austin, while Romano is a renewable energy developer. They check in on each other a couple of times a year. It all started with a shared ride — an encounter they’re both still grateful for.
4. Why did Romano call an Uber instead of an ambulance?
A. Because he knew an Uber driver. B. Because he preferred Uber’s service.
C. Because he couldn’t reach an ambulance. D. Because his insurance coverage was limited.
5. What did Lukumu do for Romano at the ER?
A. He helped Romano find a doctor. B. He paid for Romano’s medical bills.
C. He managed to contact Romano’s relatives. D. He kept Romano company for several hours.
6. Which word best describes Romano before he met Lukumu?
A. Peaceful. B. Regretful. C. Withdrawn. D. Ambitious.
7. What message does the story convey?
A. Love and kindness can restore faith in life.
B. Good luck can change a hopeless situation.
C. Long-distance friendship requires regular contact.
D. Career success comes from unexpected encounters.
C
People have been trying to create glowing (发光) plants for decades. The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see. Last year, US biotech company Light Bio launched the Firefly Petunia, the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale. It claims that the plant’s brightness is “similar to moonlight”, but judging from photos on social media, it’s nowhere near as bright as a full moon.
There is a reason why this is so difficult. Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light.
Given this fact, plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights. To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it’s found that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants, so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand.
But making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is cheating. At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential pollution issue when the plants die and are thrown out.
If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wave lengths into usable ones and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark.
8 What makes it hard for plants to glow brightly?
A. The low light-use efficiency. B. The influence of the environment.
C. The complexity of plant growth. D. The long photosynthetic process.
9. How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants?
A. By thickening their leaves. B. By providing more artificial light.
C. By filling some special chemicals. D. By lengthening their exposure to sunlight.
10. What can we learn about phosphorescent plants?
A. They are sensitive to light. B. They have limited color variety.
C. They are expensive to maintain. D. They do harm to the environment.
11. What’s the function of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the achievement in plant research.
B. To present ways of taking full advantage of light.
C. To explore the future application of glowing plants.
D. To propose a new research focus in creating glowing plants.
D
An annual report on health and climate change published in The Lancet found that an estimated 2.5 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. It also found that heat exposure deaths have risen sharply by 23 percent since the 1990s. In total, 12 out of 20 health indicators fell to record levels for two years. All health risks of climate change are worsening.
Despite the large numbers of deaths associated with fossil fuel pollution, governments still spent $956 billion funding oil and gas companies in 2023. “We are seeing the expansion of oil and gas globally and that is threatening our survival,” said Dr Marina Romanello, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown.
New analysis shows the recently drafted national climate plans from more than 60 countries fall short of what is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate breakdown. Taken together, these plans to reduce carbon over the next decade would only reduce global emissions (排放) by about 10 per cent by 2035 compared with 2019 levels. Dr Romanello said, “The most concerning finding is the declining of climate change commitments and actions from world leaders. Our population is at great risk. In the UK, half of National Health Service (NHS) hospitals have already been forced to close wards (病房) or change services due to flooding, while others struggle during heatwaves.”
Despite these warnings, some progress has been made. Cleaner air due to coal phase-outs has saved an estimated 160,000 lives annually, and renewable energy generation reached record highs. The green economy is now three times faster-growing than fossil fuels, supporting more than 16 million jobs in 2023.
“We’re already seeing big benefits from tackling climate change. We need to ensure that the transition supports people and their well-being and their health. Otherwise the transition will be useless. With every moment of inaction, those threats will worsen, and protecting people will become increasingly challenging, if not impossible,” said Dr Romanello.
12. The author lists the data in paragraph 1 to show ________.
A. the speed of global warming B. the benefits of climate policies
C the rise of human health indicators D. the impact of climate change on human health
13. What can be inferred about governments from paragraph 2?
A. They invest insufficiently in public service. B. They take little consideration of public health.
C. They plan to limit the expansion of oil and gas. D. They are cooperating closely with health experts.
14. What is Dr. Romanello’s attitude towards the national climate plans?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Objective.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The economic cost of climate inaction. B. Warnings and progress in the climate crisis.
C. A scientific guide to phasing out fossil fuels. D. The environmental impact of renewable energy.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays we are quick to take offense, slow to forgive, and often too proud to admit when we are wrong. Yet perhaps if we brushed up our apology skills, we could help relieve the tension in our communities and our world, one honest admission at a time.
____16____ They acknowledge the worth of the person we have wronged and the shared respect that still connects us, even when trust has been broken. In 2016, Professor Roy Lewicki and colleagues examined what makes an apology effective. They identified six essential elements: Expression of regret; Explanation of what went wrong; Acknowledgment of responsibility; Declaration of regret; Offer of repair; Request for forgiveness.
While all six play a role, the researchers found that two stood above the rest: acknowledging responsibility and offering to repair the damage. It turns out that the most powerful words in an apology are the simplest: “It was my fault.” ____17____ It tells the other person that you see what happened clearly and that you are willing to own your part in it. ____18____ As Professor Lewicki points out, talk is… just words. That’s why the second most important part of an apology is the offer of repair. Saying “I’ll fix what I broke” transforms regret into action.
Other elements still matter. But interestingly, the least important piece was asking for forgiveness. Perhaps that’s because it’s not something you can demand. ____19____
We can’t control how the world acts, but we can live out the humbleness and responsibility that make harmony possible. ____20____ In a time when divisions feel unending, a good apology is not just words, it’s an act of repair for the fabric of our shared lives.
A. But responsibility alone is not enough.
B. Apologies matter as they bridge hurt and healing.
C. Still, we all know not all apologies are created equal.
D. A sincere apology releases anger and brings back connection.
E. Taking responsibility breaks down defensiveness and excuses.
F. It’s a gift the other person chooses to give when they’re ready.
G. With these six steps, our conflicts will find a new path forward.

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。
On a cold winter afternoon, six-year-old Lily in a bright red coat, was playing around the frozen pond behind her house. The ice looked like a giant, smooth mirror in the sun. With a joyful laugh, she stepped onto its edge, sliding carefully at first. She slid more bravely imagining herself a figure skater as the ice seemed strong enough to hold her.
Suddenly, a horrible crack (破碎声) disturbed the quiet. The ice beneath her gave way. The cold pond swallowed her whole. “Help” She screamed. Her heavy coat was wet and heavy, pulling her down. She struggled in the cold water. However, each time she tried to grasp the ice edge, it broke. The freezing cold started to replace the panic.
Her neighbor Mr. Jenkins, who was cleaning his driveway next door, heard the crack. His heart beat fast. He moved as fast as he could to the pond. He saw the red coat under the broken ice. “Hold on! I’m coming” he yelled, lying flat on his stomach to spread his weight. He inched forward, and stretched his arm into the freezing water. He tried to reach the coat. With a strength he didn’t know he had, he grabbed Lily’s arm and pulled. She was so heavy.
He managed to pull her head and shoulders onto the solid ice, but he could not lift her fully out. He was exhausted, trembling violently from cold and effort. What Mr. Jenkins could do was keep her face above the water. His voice was a desperate call for help.
It was then that a couple, Cruse and Michelle, passed by. They noticed the heart-stopping scene: the elderly man lay on the ice, pulling a motionless child in the cold water. There was no time for a lengthy plan. Every second in that water reduced the chance of survival.
注意:
