Gideon Mendel, a photojournalist who has been documenting climate change through his series “Submerged Portraits”. Starting his project in 2007, Mendel’s goal is to make the impact of climate change on human deeply felt, moving away from typical imagery of glaciers and polar bears to focus on flood-affected individuals.
He goes where the floods are — floods typically linked to climate change. But instead of racing to capture ongoing storms and rainfall, he waits for the water to settle and tries to capture the trauma(创伤)endured by communities. His subjects stand still in their flooded homes, creating heart-breaking images that convey both aesthetic(美学的)beauty and profound content. These portraits come from 13 different flood zones across the globe, demonstrating the wide existence of climate change impacts.
As Mendel continues his work, he shifts towards video, creating installations(装置)like Deluge, which is part of the photography exhibition “Coal + Ice” at New York’s Asia Society. The exhibition, showing videos of flood survivors returning home, emphasizes the personal and global consequences of climate change.
“He makes it human and real, that we are all vulnerable and impacted by climate change, regardless of where we live or what our income is,” commented Tzeporah Berman, chair and founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, after viewing Deluge. “He brings to life not just what’s happening in the landscape but shows the despair in people’s faces.”
Mendel’s long-term mission to portray trauma connects deeply with his family history of the Holocaust, influencing both his artistic and activist pursuits. Despite the connection, he says, “Real activists take risks and go to prison and put themselves on the line. I only put my pictures online.”
4. What effect may Mendel’s photographs of flood survivors have on viewers?
A. Calming. B. Touching. C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
5 What do we know about “Coal+ Ice”?
A. It focuses on historical flood events.
B. It highlights the impact of climate change.
C. It gives birth to installations like Deluge.
D. It displays the aesthetic beauty of flood zones.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Mendel only cares about online exposure.
B Mendel takes the same risks as real activists.
C. Mendel holds a humble attitude towards his efforts.
D. Mendel’s mission is irrelevant to his family history.
7. Which of the following best describes Mendel?
A. Devoted and sympathetic. B. Passionate and humorous.
C. Ambitious and courageous. D. Thoughtful and generous.
C
Marmosets, those small and adorable monkeys native to South America, are far more sophisticated than they appear. According to a new study, members of marmoset troops use specific vocalizations — “phee calls” — to call each other by names. A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one. It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.
To reveal the secrets of marmosets, the researchers recorded natural conversations between pairs of marmosets, who could not see but could hear each other. They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups. Interestingly, this behavior extends beyond closely related individuals, indicating that marmosets learn names and pronunciation details from fellow troop members.
Marmosets inhabit thick rainforest canopies across a swath of South America, where vocally labeling each individual troop member might offer an adaptive advantage, the researchers note. Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight. In fact, this might even hint at how some of our prehuman ancestors developed social communication and language.
“Marmosets live in small monogamous (一夫一妻制) family groups and take care of their young together, much like humans do,” Omer says. “These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”
8. What does the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Rare. B. Significant. C. Complicated. D. Unimportant.
9. What did the researchers discover about phee calls used by marmosets?
A. They are vocalizations unique to marmosets.
B. They are abandoned by closely related individuals.
C. They are fixed without flexibility in dialogues.
D. They are used for communication and identification.
10. In which way might vocal labeling benefit marmosets in the rainforest?
A. Defending each individual troop member.
B. Enhancing the visibility in the rainforest.
C. Maintaining social bonds in low visibility conditions.
D. Spending more time with closely related individuals.
11. What might contribute to marmosets’ similar communicating methods as early human ancestors?
A. Small family groups. B. Similar social challenges.
C. Identical living environments. D. Comparable linguistic system.
D
The approach is an early example of “self-healing grid (输电网)” technology, which uses AI to detect and repair problems such as power cuts autonomously and without human intervention when issues occur, such as storm-damaged power lines. Although further research is needed before this system can be implemented and scaled to real-world power grids, it is still an exciting development for the nation’s troubled power grid, according to researchers.
Power grids worldwide face challenges from increasing extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and rising demand. Therefore, it’s crucial to develop tools that modernize the system and make it more resilient (有适应力的) against future power cuts. The North American grid is a vast, complex network of transmission and distribution lines, generation facilities, and transformers that inefficiently delivers electricity from power sources to consumers.
Using various scenarios in test networks, the research team demonstrated that its solution can automatically identify alternative routes to transfer electricity to users before a power cut occurs. Once trained, the AI-driven system can reroute electrical flow in microseconds, vastly outpacing current processes involving classical engineering techniques or human intervention, which can take minutes to hours.
Their goal is to quickly find the best path to send power to the majority of users. They use machine learning algorithms on graphs to understand complex relationships in power networks. This helps them see how components are connected and how electricity flows. They also rely on reinforcement learning, where a virtual agent is positioned in a simulation (模拟) environment of the real problem — to systematically play out scenarios and progressively learn from this experience. An example of knowledge gained from such experience would be if a line fault blocks electricity, the system can rearrange using switches and draw power from neighbouring sources, like solar panels or batteries on a university campus or business.
After focusing on preventing power cuts, the researchers now aim to develop similar technology to repair and restore the grid following disruptions, like those caused by natural hazards.
12. Why is the North American grid mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To showcase the necessity for grid modernization.
B. To illustrate the complexity of modern power networks.
C. To emphasize its unique challenges not found elsewhere.
D. To show it has adopted “self-healing grid” technology.
13. What is the advantage of the self-healing grid system?
A. It allows the power grid to generate more electricity.
B. It involves necessary classical engineering techniques.
C. It automatically transfers electricity to users on demand.
D. It significantly quickens the process of rerouting electricity.
14. How might the system handle a line fault blocking electricity?
A. By waiting for human intervention.
B. By getting rid of solar panels and batteries.
C. By redirecting and using power from nearby sources.
D. By using a traditional power distribution mapping system.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Grid Modernization: A Road to Self Healing
B. Self-Healing Grid Technology: Full of Potential
C. Al-Driven Rerouting: Key to Energy-Efficiency
D. Al: Preventing Power Cuts with Machine Learning

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My middle child, Jake, was smart and good-looking, but he always sees the cup of life as half empty. Every day when he came home from school, Jake would list everything bad that happened that day!
On his ninth birthday we saved enough money to take the family to Disneyland for two days. His dad and I didn’t make much then, so it cost a considerable amount, but we felt Jake’s birthday was worth it. After doing Disneyland to death (玩够了), we returned to our hotel room, all exhausted. And I asked the birthday boy, “Did you have fun today, Jake?”
All my fault-finding son could say to me was “Pirates (海盗) of the Caribbean was closed!” “Jake Marshall,” I was clearly unable to contain my anger, “we stood in line for an hour and a half to see The Haunted Mansion. We rode Space Mountain three times. We spent two days playing in the park, and all you can say is, Pirates of the Caribbean was closed?” Clearly, something had to be done about his negative attitude and I was going to be the one to do it!
I was determined to help him. I read every article and bought every book. With the help of great resources, I found my son had the tendency to see the worst in every situation. My research told me that people with negativity have an emotional need for order and sensitivity. That meant I needed to listen to my son’s daily pessimistic reports. My usual reaction was to try to talk Jake out of his negativity, but that wouldn’t satisfy his need for sensitivity, so I had to let him finish his complaints and ask what good things happened. Then I needed to wait until he could tell me. This would help Jake realize that good things really were happening to him.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
One day Jake came home from school and complained as usual.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From then on, Jake came to understand the power of seeing good points.

Gideon Mendel, a photojournalist who has been documenting climate change through his series “Submerged Portraits”. Starting his project in 2007, Mendel’s goal is to make the impact of climate change on human deeply felt, moving away from typical imagery of glaciers and polar bears to focus on flood-affected individuals.
He goes where the floods are — floods typically linked to climate change. But instead of racing to capture ongoing storms and rainfall, he waits for the water to settle and tries to capture the trauma(创伤)endured by communities. His subjects stand still in their flooded homes, creating heart-breaking images that convey both aesthetic(美学的)beauty and profound content. These portraits come from 13 different flood zones across the globe, demonstrating the wide existence of climate change impacts.
As Mendel continues his work, he shifts towards video, creating installations(装置)like Deluge, which is part of the photography exhibition “Coal + Ice” at New York’s Asia Society. The exhibition, showing videos of flood survivors returning home, emphasizes the personal and global consequences of climate change.
“He makes it human and real, that we are all vulnerable and impacted by climate change, regardless of where we live or what our income is,” commented Tzeporah Berman, chair and founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, after viewing Deluge. “He brings to life not just what’s happening in the landscape but shows the despair in people’s faces.”
Mendel’s long-term mission to portray trauma connects deeply with his family history of the Holocaust, influencing both his artistic and activist pursuits. Despite the connection, he says, “Real activists take risks and go to prison and put themselves on the line. I only put my pictures online.”
4. What effect may Mendel’s photographs of flood survivors have on viewers?
A. Calming. B. Touching. C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
5. What do we know about “Coal+ Ice”?
A. It focuses on historical flood events.
B. It highlights the impact of climate change.
C. It gives birth to installations like Deluge.
D. It displays the aesthetic beauty of flood zones.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Mendel only cares about online exposure.
B. Mendel takes the same risks as real activists.
C. Mendel holds a humble attitude towards his efforts.
D. Mendel’s mission is irrelevant to his family history.
7. Which of the following best describes Mendel?
A. Devoted and sympathetic. B. Passionate and humorous.
C. Ambitious and courageous. D. Thoughtful and generous.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A

Marmosets, those small and adorable monkeys native to South America, are far more sophisticated than they appear. According to a new study, members of marmoset troops use specific vocalizations — “phee calls” — to call each other by names. A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one. It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.
To reveal the secrets of marmosets, the researchers recorded natural conversations between pairs of marmosets, who could not see but could hear each other. They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups. Interestingly, this behavior extends beyond closely related individuals, indicating that marmosets learn names and pronunciation details from fellow troop members.
Marmosets inhabit thick rainforest canopies across a swath of South America, where vocally labeling each individual troop member might offer an adaptive advantage, the researchers note. Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight. In fact, this might even hint at how some of our prehuman ancestors developed social communication and language.
“Marmosets live in small monogamous (一夫一妻制) family groups and take care of their young together, much like humans do,” Omer says. “These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”
8. What does the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Rare. B. Significant. C. Complicated. D. Unimportant.
9. What did the researchers discover about phee calls used by marmosets?
A. They are vocalizations unique to marmosets.
B. They are abandoned by closely related individuals.
C. They are fixed without flexibility in dialogues.
D. They are used for communication and identification.
10. In which way might vocal labeling benefit marmosets in the rainforest?
A. Defending each individual troop member.
B. Enhancing the visibility in the rainforest.
C. Maintaining social bonds in low visibility conditions.
D Spending more time with closely related individuals.
11. What might contribute to marmosets’ similar communicating methods as early human ancestors?
A. Small family groups. B. Similar social challenges.
C. Identical living environments. D. Comparable linguistic system.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了狨(marmosets)这种小型且可爱的南美猴类在社会互动中的复杂性,特别是它们使用特定叫声“phee calls”作为名字进行交流的独特方式。这一发现不仅揭示了狨的社会结构复杂性,还为理解人类早期祖先的社交沟通和语言发展提供了线索。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“considering how few wild animals are known to have one(考虑到很少有野生动物已知拥有这种系统)”、“It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.(这是首次在人类以外的灵长类动物中观察到这种行为)”可知,鉴于已知拥有这种(命名系统)的野生动物很少,说明像这样的命名系统在任何物种中都不是“不重要”的发现,此处为双重否定等于肯定意思,故划线词意思是“不重要的”。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups.(他们发现,狨猴会用它们的叫声来进行轮流对话,甚至还能识别出说话人的细节。这些叫声的独特特征和灵活性表明,狨猴可能会用它们在社会群体中相互标记和交流)”可知,狨猴的叫声用于交流和识别。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight.(在这些茂密的树梢上,能见度是有限的,但使用声音标签作为名字可能有助于狨猴保持联系,并在彼此视线之外度过大量时间时作为一个群体一起工作)”可知,在雨林中,声音标记可以让狨猴在低能见度条件下维持社会联系。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods. (这些相似之处表明, 它们面临着与我们早期非语言祖先相似的进化社会挑战,这可能导致它们发展出类似的沟通方法)”可知,类似的社会挑战导致狨猴拥有与早期人类祖先相似的交流方式。故选B。
D
The approach is an early example of “self-healing grid (输电网)” technology, which uses AI to detect and repair problems such as power cuts autonomously and without human intervention when issues occur, such as storm-damaged power lines. Although further research is needed before this system can be implemented and scaled to real-world power grids, it is still an exciting development for the nation’s troubled power grid, according to researchers.
Power grids worldwide face challenges from increasing extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and rising demand. Therefore, it’s crucial to develop tools that modernize the system and make it more resilient (有适应力的) against future power cuts. The North American grid is a vast, complex network of transmission and distribution lines, generation facilities, and transformers that inefficiently delivers electricity from power sources to consumers.
Using various scenarios in test networks, the research team demonstrated that its solution can automatically identify alternative routes to transfer electricity to users before a power cut occurs. Once trained, the AI-driven system can reroute electrical flow in microseconds, vastly outpacing current processes involving classical engineering techniques or human intervention, which can take minutes to hours.
Their goal is to quickly find the best path to send power to the majority of users. They use machine learning algorithms on graphs to understand complex relationships in power networks. This helps them see how components are connected and how electricity flows. They also rely on reinforcement learning, where a virtual agent is positioned in a simulation (模拟) environment of the real problem — to systematically play out scenarios and progressively learn from this experience. An example of knowledge gained from such experience would be if a line fault blocks electricity, the system can rearrange using switches and draw power from neighbouring sources, like solar panels or batteries on a university campus or business.
After focusing on preventing power cuts, the researchers now aim to develop similar technology to repair and restore the grid following disruptions, like those caused by natural hazards.
12. Why is the North American grid mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To showcase the necessity for grid modernization.
B. To illustrate the complexity of modern power networks.
C. To emphasize its unique challenges not found elsewhere.
D. To show it has adopted “self-healing grid” technology.
13. What is the advantage of the self-healing grid system?
A. It allows the power grid to generate more electricity.
B. It involves necessary classical engineering techniques.
C. It automatically transfers electricity to users on demand.
D. It significantly quickens the process of rerouting electricity.
14. How might the system handle a line fault blocking electricity?
A. By waiting for human intervention.
B. By getting rid of solar panels and batteries.
C. By redirecting and using power from nearby sources.
D. By using a traditional power distribution mapping system.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Grid Modernization: A Road to Self Healing
B. Self-Healing Grid Technology: Full of Potential
C. Al-Driven Rerouting: Key to Energy-Efficiency
D. Al: Preventing Power Cuts with Machine Learning
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B

An Unforgettable Eco-Friendly Hiking Event
Last weekend, I participated in an eco-friendly hiking event organized by our school, themed “Protecting the Green Begins with Me.”
The event commenced at 8 a. m. on Saturday and concluded around noon. It started from the school gate and led us through a picturesque route within the nearby national park. Throughout the hike, participants were buried in actively picking up litter on the ground to maintain the natural beauty. Moreover, we made every endeavour to spread the importance of preserving the environment to others and encouraged them to adopt greener habits.
In conclusion, this experience was so meaningful that it reinforced my responsibility of protecting our environment as an individual.

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。
My middle child, Jake, was smart and good-looking, but he always sees the cup of life as half empty. Every day when he came home from school, Jake would list everything bad that happened that day!
On his ninth birthday, we saved enough money to take the family to Disneyland for two days. His dad and I didn’t make much then, so it cost a considerable amount, but we felt Jake’s birthday was worth it. After doing Disneyland to death (玩够了), we returned to our hotel room, all exhausted. And I asked the birthday boy, “Did you have fun today, Jake?”
All my fault-finding son could say to me was “Pirates (海盗) of the Caribbean was closed!” “Jake Marshall,” I was clearly unable to contain my anger, “we stood in line for an hour and a half to see The Haunted Mansion. We rode Space Mountain three times. We spent two days playing in the park, and all you can say is, Pirates of the Caribbean was closed?” Clearly, something had to be done about his negative attitude and I was going to be the one to do it!
I was determined to help him. I read every article and bought every book. With the help of great resources, I found my son had the tendency to see the worst in every situation. My research told me that people with negativity have an emotional need for order and sensitivity. That meant I needed to listen to my son’s daily pessimistic reports. My usual reaction was to try to talk Jake out of his negativity, but that wouldn’t satisfy his need for sensitivity, so I had to let him finish his complaints and ask what good things happened. Then I needed to wait until he could tell me. This would help Jake realize that good things really were happening to him.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
One day Jake came home from school and complained as usual.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From then on, Jake came to understand the power of seeing good points.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One day Jake came home from school and complained as usual. He listed the terrible things at school. I listened carefully, looking at him and nodding now and then. After his complaint, I asked what good things happened to him. “Nothing.” His response was what I could expect. “Something good must have happened. Think it over, my boy.” I encouraged with a gentle smile. After about fifteen minutes’ effort, he admitted being praised by his head teacher for helping cleaning the front desk. Through this practice, he realized something good really happened to him.
From then on, Jake came to understand the power of seeing good points. He would not just consider everything awful, but was willing to discover something awesome. And to my great joy, he kept patient and peaceful during his sharing. He even danced in excitement at wonderful things. I witnessed his attitude changing from negativity to positivity. The path to getting there seemed to be a struggle, but he was making headway. My hard work was paying off and I believed Jake would get used to seeing the cup of life as half full.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者的二儿子Jake聪明英俊,但是却总是看到生活中发生的不好的事情,在他九岁生日那天,作者攒够了钱带他去迪士尼玩儿了两天,但是Jake很消极地看到的是加勒比海盗关闭这件事,作者决定要做些什么来改变Jake的消极态度,作者通过看书研究了一下,发现消极的人在情感上需要秩序和敏感,作者决定要听Jake的抱怨,帮助Jake意识到好事真地发生在他身上。
【详解】1.段落续写:
