【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
原文】M: Good evening. Tonight, I’ll continue to share how we can use art to spread the word about the changing climate. In our day-to-day lives, climate change can be hard to see, but some places will feel the changes sooner than others. The city I live in is very flat and close to the waterline. And rising sea levels are already creating floods. So I decided to do something to make it impossible to ignore. I started an art project called Underwater Homeowners Association and painted numbers onto thousands of large signs. Each number showed how high someone’s house was above sea level. A one would mean that if the sea level rose one foot, the building would flood. I gave the signs to homeowners who put them in their yards. Kids painted more signs and put them near their schools and along busy roads. The project has already had a real-world effect. The people who put the signs in their yards created a real homeowners association to address climate change in their communities.

B
In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
24. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
25. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic.
26. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师,通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. (去年,在我九年级的写作课上,我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲,还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次,我暗自琢磨,这些塑造了这些人物的学生,究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知,这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页,几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知,学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳,是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题,交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长,其中的人物拓宽了我的视野,也触动了我的心)”可推知,此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事,与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”,与B选项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,再根据文章最后一段中“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而,学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时,我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义:它能连接人与人,让我们换位思考,教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知,文章通过作者的教学经历,说明她在教导学生的同时,自己也领悟到写作的真正意义,这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选A。
C
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究,说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响,以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时,她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反:订单如潮水般涌来,仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知,Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时,并没有抱太大希望,但实际情况是订单很多,生意出奇地好。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示:“身处植物周围的学生,其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示,在植物丰富的工作环境中,人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知,Knuth的研究发现,接触植物的学生学业表现更好,成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高,病假率降低,因此,“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说:“医生需要不断实践医术,律师需要持续精进法律实务,而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它,但如果它枯萎了,就再养一株新的。”)”可知,Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的,重要的是持续努力。由此推断,她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起,第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率,第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
33. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
35. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于减少自来水中微塑料污染的新研究。微塑料污染已遍及全球,甚至进入人体。中国研究人员发现,将自来水煮沸五分钟并冷却后过滤可能会显著降低自来水中的微塑料含量。研究虽未涵盖所有塑料类型和化学物质,但揭示了一种潜在解决方案。苏格兰环境工程师指出,该研究展示了煮沸法的有效性,并建议升级饮用水处理厂以推广应用。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans. (微塑料已经成为地球上常见的污染源——它们出现在在深海和喜马拉雅山上,被困在火山岩中,填满海鸟的胃,甚至落在南极的新雪中。它们甚至出现了在人类体内)”可推知,作者通过举例提出微塑料污染的问题。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. (至关重要的是,这一过程依赖于含有足够碳酸钙的水来截留塑料。在这项研究中,将含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水煮沸后,塑料含量下降了近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中,煮沸只降低了25%的塑料含量)”可知,决定在水中截留微塑料的有效性的是水的硬度。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly diffcult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. (尽管如此,研究结果显示了减少微塑料接触的潜在途径——这一任务正变得越来越困难。今年早些时候,科学家们发现,即使是瓶装水,其微塑料含量也比原先想象的高出10到1000倍。)”可推断,作者提到瓶装水是为了说明微塑料污染的严重性。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” (苏格兰格拉斯哥大学的环境工程师Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay没有参与这项研究,她告诉《新科学家》杂志:“他们展示微塑料如何在煮沸过程中被截留的方式很不错。”“我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,以便它们能去除微塑料”)”可推知,Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议是关于这项研究结果的潜在应用,即升级饮用水处理厂。故选D。

Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just that, and more. _____36_____
Catherine Murphy, a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat, makes sure that each customer gets exactly what they order. She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. _____37_____ As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?” Even when the line is getting longer, she doesn’t let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. _____38_____ “I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said. Being a mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is. She believes she is here to serve.
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious (有感染力) and can be the difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her. Joanna Wright, a senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. _____39_____ “Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述大学咖啡馆工作人员凯瑟琳·墨菲用真诚的服务和热情的微笑为学生带来温暖的故事,展现了这位平凡英雄的动人之处。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just that, and more. (课间需要休息或早上快速提神?大学咖啡馆提供这些,还有更多。)”可知,开篇引出咖啡馆的功能,空格处需揭示“更多”的内涵。E选项“Not only does this cafe serve up drinks, it also serves up smiles. (这家咖啡馆不仅提供饮品,还提供微笑。)”通过“Not only...also...”结构,既承接“drinks”,又引出下文核心——墨菲的微笑服务,符合语境。故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. (她在机器之间来回制作饮品。)”及下文“As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?” Even when the line is getting longer, she doesn’t let it get in the way of her genuine conversations. (当顾客从她手中接过饮品时,她微笑着说:“你好,今天过得怎么样?”即使队伍越来越长,她也不会让这影响到她真诚的交流。)”可推知,设空处需补充制作饮品后的环节。D选项“After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup. (完成订单后,她会喊出杯子上的名字。)”中的“finishing an order”衔接“make the drinks”,“calls out the name”引出顾客接饮品的场景,形成“制作—叫号—交付”的完整流程。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. (墨菲每天四点四十五起床,开车三十分钟准时上班。)”及下文“I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. (我这样做是因为我喜欢为学生煮咖啡。)”可推知,设空处需进一步体现她对工作的投入。C选项“Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early. (有时她会提前到达,提前为学生服务。)”中的“arrives early”补充了“准时上班”之外的主动性,“serve the students early”呼应“like to make coffee for the students”,展现其敬业精神。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Joanna Wright, a senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. (乔安娜・赖特是政治学专业的大四学生,她热爱咖啡,每周至少去这家咖啡馆六天。)”及下文““Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said. (赖特说“凯瑟琳总是笑容满面,这总能让我心情愉快。”)”可推知,设空处需说明她频繁去咖啡馆的原因。F选项“Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class. (去咖啡馆让她一天有个好的开始,并为上课做好准备。)”中的“starts her day off good”解释了“每周去六天”的动机,且“cheerful mood”与墨菲的微笑服务形成因果关系。故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“She has every intention of staying and continuing doing what she loves. (她完全打算留下来,继续做自己喜欢的事。)”可推知,设空处需体现她对工作的长期投入。G选项“She has served here for 17 years and can’t imagine working anywhere else. (她已经在这里服务了17年,无法想象在其他地方工作。)”中的“17 years”凸显服务年限之长,“can’t imagine working anywhere else”强化对咖啡馆的情感联结,与“staying”形成直接呼应。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从美国俄亥俄州克利夫兰来到中国浙江农村生活的经历,包括对新环境的适应以及在这里体验到的如晾晒衣物的“阳光香味”等令人惊喜的事物。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:然而现在,我和我的中国丈夫以及他的家人住在中国浙江的农村,那里山上野生着竹子和茶树,鸡总是散养的,也没有集中供暖。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the countryside of Zhejiang,先行词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而现在,我和我的中国丈夫以及他的家人住在中国浙江的农村,那里山上野生着竹子和茶树,鸡总是散养的,也没有集中供暖。此处修饰名词heating,应用形容词central,central heating表示“集中供暖”。故填central。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我以前生活中的任何事都没有让我为现在的生活做好准备 —— 可以肯定的是,我第一次来到这里时,从未想过自己会在这个地方感到舒适。根据时间状语before可知,此处讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填prepared。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:但令人惊讶的是,你能如此适应一个全新的环境。adapt to为固定短语,意为“适应”。故填to。
【60题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:随着时间的推移,我发现自己在这里感觉非常自在。此处作found的宾语,且与主语I指同一人,应用反身代词myself。故填myself。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:刚晒过的衣服上的“阳光香味”就是其中之一。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语The “sunshine scent”为第三人称单数,所以be动词用is。故填is。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在成长过程中,我家及邻居们从不使用晾衣绳晾衣服,这使我没有机会发现阳光的一大奇妙之处 —— 晾晒一整天后衣服上那甜甜的“阳光香味” 。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,句子主语my family and our neighbors与deny之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填denying。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:在我住的地方,晾晒的衣服闻起来格外宜人,这得益于没有雾霾,以及拥有许多蓝天白云、空气清新的午后。根据空前的the及空后的of可知,此处应用名词absence,the absence of表示“没有……”。故填absence。
【64题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:让这种香味更特别的是,每次闻到它,我都会想起这个小村庄的温暖与宁静。分析句子结构可知,此处为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且表示“所……的事物”,所以用连接代词what引导。故填What。
65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果你从未体验过晾晒一天的床单或衬衫上的“阳光香味”,那么,你正在错过生活中的一大奇妙之事。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,leave与sheet or shirt之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词left表示被动。故填left。

Winners Never Quit
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Winners Never Quit
The motto “Winners never quit” resonates deeply with me. It means truly successful people are those who keep pushing forward, even when things get tough.
It was put to the test last year when I joined a robotics competition. Initially, I struggled with programming errors and mechanical failures. Frustration crept in when my robot malfunctioned during trials. Yet, instead of giving up, I adjusted my strategy, studied late into nights, and learned from each failure. The turning point came when I redesigned the code logic — a small change that doubled my robot’s efficiency. Holding the first-place trophy, I realized it was my consistent perseverance that led to my success.
This experience taught me that every effort, even if imperfect, brings me closer to victory. I’ll carry this truth with me, not just as a rule, but as the fire that keeps me going.

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。
My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
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。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. It was dark inside. I gathered myself and went toward the sound with great care. As I flicked on my phone’s flashlight and saw what was in one of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal — baby foxes! They were crawling out of a hole and then tumbling back down. Adorable! Barely could I contain my thrill and excitement at my first encounter with these wild creatures. Knowing that everyone adored animals, I snapped a hundred photos and quickly updated my post. This time, I knew I’d make everyone jealous, including, of course, my two best friends.
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. Likes did pour in as anticipated, alongside Carlos and Natalia’s warm words. Yet, the thrill of likes faded as my thoughts wandered to the cute baby foxes’ awkward leaps — no filter could frame this joy. Piece by piece, the farm’s simple wonders surfaced: the unforgettable dawn scene, the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies, the dusty barn, and wild magic, etc., and all these kept me spellbound. Mom was right: true joy wasn’t in crafting envy-worthy posts for likes but in these simple, precious moments spent with my beloved Grandpa on the magic farm.

In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
24. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
25. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic.
26. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.

When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
33. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
35. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.

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。
My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
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。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.
