三、阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节阅读下列短文并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。(共16小题,每小题2.5分,满分40分)
(A)
Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness plan.
I. Stockpiling food and drink
• Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
• No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
• Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them can be eaten cold.
II. Emergency pack
• The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a few days outside of your house. Don’t take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained within the confines of a rucksack (帆布背包). A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.
• The emergency rucksack should contain these items:
— First aid materials, personal medication
— Sleeping bag or blanket
— Hygiene products for a couple of days
III. Electric power breakdown
• Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house. Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
• You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal (木炭) or gas.
IV. Keep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world. Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio, television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device.
V. About us
The Federal Office of Civil Protection and disaster Assistance (BBK) was established in 2004 as a central organizational unit for civil security in Germany. The BBK is your reliable partner for emergency preparedness and self- help. You can find further information on our website.
31. The brochure is provided in order to ________.
A. inform people about recent disasters
B. provide tips on how to survive in a disaster
C. encourage people to stockpile food and drink on a regular basis
D. promote the Federal Office of Civil Protection and disaster Assistance
32. Which of the following descriptions about the rucksack is incorrect?
A. It can conveniently hold the supplies each family member needs for a few days outside.
B. It is less practical than a suitcase in emergency situations.
C. It has an advantage that allows people to keep both hands free.
D. It is used to hold emergency items like first aid materials and sleeping bags.
33. What does the underlined word “indefinitely” probably mean?
A. permanently B. briefly C. carefully. D. suddenly.
34. What is the recommended device to receive warnings during a disaster?
A. A laptop. B. A television.
C. A mobile phone. D. A battery-powered radio.
(B)
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
35. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
36. Why did the kid poke the storybook?
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
37. What does the author think of himself?
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
38. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
(C)
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
39. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances. B. They have to follow special rules.
C. They are qualified for the marathon. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
40. What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It’s less challenging physically. B. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
C. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. D. It’s more effective in body building.
41. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Doing regular exercises. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Getting experts’ opinions.
42. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Supportive.
(D)
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
43. What do solar developers often ignore?
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
44. What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
45. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
46. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development
第二节 阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。(共4小题,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There’s something magical about the way imagination works. Around the world, kids are using imagination in ways that were once only found in science fiction.
Take the story of Mark Lee. He loved biking around his neighbourhood but grew upset seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. Instead of simply complaining, he decided to do something about it.
Using an old 3D printer, Mark started experimenting. He melted (熔化) plastic bottles down and tried shaping them into small bricks. At first, everything went wrong — the plastic broke, the printer jammed, and the pieces didn’t fit together. Friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just forsake.
But Mark had a different idea. He redesigned the bricks to lock together like puzzle (拼图) pieces and adjusted the heating temperature carefully. After months of trial and error, he succeeded. With a little help from his school and the local community centre, Mark used his bricks to build a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood.
And he’s not alone. Thirteen-year-old Sally Carter loved reading fantasy books. Inspired by magical maps in her stories, she wondered: what if we could build a real-world app that helps people explore hidden places in their own cities? She gathered friends, learned some basic programming, and together they created an app that maps small local parks and gardens few people knew about. Their app quickly grew popular in town and even won a local youth innovation award.
Next time you see a young person lost in thought, don’t rush to pull them back. They might just be imagining the next great idea.
47. What upset Mark, when he was biking around his neighbourhood? (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
48. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean? (no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________
49. How does the app created by Sally and her friends help? (no more than 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
50. How can you put your imagination into practice as Mark and Sally did? (In about 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
四、写作(共2题,满分35分)
第一节 概要写作(满分10分)
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Fiction Reading
For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. But are novels simply a pleasant way to pass the time, or could it be true that reading fiction actually benefits our lives?
One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won’t. It can transport us to 17th-century France, or to war-torn Germany. It can take us to a future world in which artificial intelligence takes over and books are banned, or a fantasy world where people bail it out for food. Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven’t yet met. And this, according to Carrie Oates, a novelist and academic, is perhaps the real benefit of stories.
In one of Oates’ studies, participants were asked to read either a short story by Chekhov or a version of the story in documentary form. Those who were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going through greater changes in personality.
In another study, she showed participants photos of the eyes of people who were feeling and thinking different things. The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those thoughts and feelings than those who didn’t. Oates explains that when we read fiction, we enter into the minds of the characters. We think about why they behave in a certain way, and what they are likely to do next. Just as we might become more knowledgeable about psychology and astronomy if we read about psychology and astronomy, we get better at this kind of social thinking if we read fiction. This improves our understanding of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life.

三、阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节阅读下列短文并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。(共16小题,每小题2.5分,满分40分)
(A)
Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness plan.
I. Stockpiling food and drink
• Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
• No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
• Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them can be eaten cold.
II. Emergency pack
• The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a few days outside of your house. Don’t take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained within the confines of a rucksack (帆布背包). A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.
• The emergency rucksack should contain these items:
— First aid materials, personal medication
— Sleeping bag or blanket
— Hygiene products for a couple of days
III. Electric power breakdown
• Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house. Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
• You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal (木炭) or gas.
IV. Keep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world. Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio, television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device.
V. About us
The Federal Office of Civil Protection and disaster Assistance (BBK) was established in 2004 as a central organizational unit for civil security in Germany. The BBK is your reliable partner for emergency preparedness and self- help. You can find further information on our website.
31. The brochure is provided in order to ________.
A. inform people about recent disasters
B. provide tips on how to survive in a disaster
C. encourage people to stockpile food and drink on a regular basis
D. promote the Federal Office of Civil Protection and disaster Assistance
32. Which of the following descriptions about the rucksack is incorrect?
A. It can conveniently hold the supplies each family member needs for a few days outside.
B. It is less practical than a suitcase in emergency situations.
C. It has an advantage that allows people to keep both hands free.
D. It is used to hold emergency items like first aid materials and sleeping bags.
33. What does the underlined word “indefinitely” probably mean?
A. permanently B. briefly C. carefully. D. suddenly.
34. What is the recommended device to receive warnings during a disaster?
A. A laptop. B. A television.
C. A mobile phone. D. A battery-powered radio.
【答案】31. B 32. B 33. A 34. D

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据II. Emergency pack部分中的“A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.(帆布背包比手提箱更实用,因为它能让你双手空出来。)”可知,帆布背包比手提箱更实用,选项B表述错误。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据III. Electric power breakdown部分中的“Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.(记住电池不会永久持续使用。要定期用完电池并更换它们。)”可知,电池不能一直使用,需要定期更换,由此可知,indefinitely意为“永久地”,与permanently意思相近。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据IV. Keep up-to-date in an emergency部分中的“However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device.(然而,电视和互联网只有在有电时才能工作,而电力可能会中断。这样就只剩下收音机作为主要的预警设备。)”可知,灾害期间推荐用来接收预警的设备是收音机。故选D项。

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
35. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
36. Why did the kid poke the storybook?
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
37. What does the author think of himself?
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
38. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
【答案】35. B 36. A 37. D 38. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经是一名记者,在春节期间,作者给孙子拿了一本儿童读物,孙子却以为是平板电脑,不停地戳书。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.”以及画线词后文“as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.”可知,作者是记者,生活在一个讲故事的新时代,有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说,这很正常。而这在春节假期,作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上,尤其清楚认识到了这一点。故画线词意思是“我很清楚”。故选B。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.(事实上,他对书本并不熟悉。他的父亲经常用一台装有彩色图片的平板电脑逗他开心,当你戳它们的时候,这些图片就会变得栩栩如生。他认为我的故事书就是那样的)”可知,那孩子戳故事书是因为他把它当成了平板电脑。故选A。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. (我可能老了,但从数字角度来说,我还没有毫无希望的挑战。我编辑视频,制作音频。我用移动支付。我甚至建立了网站)”可知,作者认为自己懂数码技术。故选D。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.(然而,在我的新媒体体验中有一个明显的差距:我很少在镜头前呆着,因为我的脸是为电台而生的)”可知,作者作为记者他很少上电视。故选B。
(C)
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
39. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances. B. They have to follow special rules.
C. They are qualified for the marathon. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
40. What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It’s less challenging physically. B. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
C. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. D. It’s more effective in body building.
41. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Doing regular exercises. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Getting experts’ opinions.
42. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Supportive.
【答案】39. B 40. C 41. D 42. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势,但是之前受过伤的人,要想从事这样运动要谨慎,最好咨询专家的建议。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.(但该项运动的规则规定,赛走运动员在腿部摆动的大部分过程中,膝盖必须保持伸直状态,而且一只脚在整个过程中都必须始终接触地面)”可知,竞走运动员之所以体能条件出众是因为运动员需要遵守某些特殊的运动规则。故选B项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.(因此,她表示,与跑步相关的某些损伤(比如“跑步者膝”)在竞走运动员中并不常见)”可知,竞走与跑步相比,它的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选C项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.(事实上,她说,任何想要尝试竞走运动的人或许都应该先咨询一下教练或经验丰富的竞走选手,以学习正确的技巧。这需要一定的练习)”可知,Dr.Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选D项。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.(研究表明,竞走与跑步在健身效果方面有许多相似之处,而且很可能还能减少受伤的风险。不过,它也有自身的问题)”可知,作者既提及了竞走的优势,又话锋一转指出它具有问题,可以判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选A项。
(D)
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
43. What do solar developers often ignore?
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
44. What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
45. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
46. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development
【答案】43. B 44. C 45. A 46. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场,这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫,从而促进农业的发展。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常,他们最终会用小石头填满该地区,并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是,许多社区,特别是在农业地区,将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知,太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题,导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者,由此可以推断,开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法,其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知,InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场,也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知,这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关,所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里,许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所,从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知,现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展,更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保,这将是未来发展农业的新趋势,再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断,本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。

第二节 阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。(共4小题,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There’s something magical about the way imagination works. Around the world, kids are using imagination in ways that were once only found in science fiction.
Take the story of Mark Lee. He loved biking around his neighbourhood but grew upset seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. Instead of simply complaining, he decided to do something about it.
Using an old 3D printer, Mark started experimenting. He melted (熔化) plastic bottles down and tried shaping them into small bricks. At first, everything went wrong — the plastic broke, the printer jammed, and the pieces didn’t fit together. Friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just forsake.
But Mark had a different idea. He redesigned the bricks to lock together like puzzle (拼图) pieces and adjusted the heating temperature carefully. After months of trial and error, he succeeded. With a little help from his school and the local community centre, Mark used his bricks to build a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood.
And he’s not alone. Thirteen-year-old Sally Carter loved reading fantasy books. Inspired by magical maps in her stories, she wondered: what if we could build a real-world app that helps people explore hidden places in their own cities? She gathered friends, learned some basic programming, and together they created an app that maps small local parks and gardens few people knew about. Their app quickly grew popular in town and even won a local youth innovation award.
Next time you see a young person lost in thought, don’t rush to pull them back. They might just be imagining the next great idea.

________________________________________________________________
48. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean? (no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________
49. How does the app created by Sally and her friends help? (no more than 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
50. How can you put your imagination into practice as Mark and Sally did? (In about 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】47. Seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks.
48. Give up/ Abandon.
49. It helps people explore hidden places like small local parks and gardens in their own cities.
50. Spot a problem I care about and then experiment boldly and make the imagination land in practice successfully.

【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Take the story of Mark Lee. He loved biking around his neighbourhood but grew upset seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. Instead of simply complaining, he decided to do something about it.(以马克·李的故事为例。他喜欢在自己居住的社区里骑自行车出行,但看到公园和人行道上到处都是塑料瓶时,他感到非常沮丧。他没有选择一味地抱怨,而是决定采取行动来解决这个问题)”可知,当马克在自家附近骑自行车时,看到公园和人行道上到处都是塑料瓶让他感到不快。故答案为Seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks.
【48题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“At first, everything went wrong — the plastic broke, the printer jammed, and the pieces didn’t fit together.(起初,一切都进展不顺利——塑料破裂了,打印机卡住了,而且这些碎片也无法拼接在一起)”可知,起初一切都进展不顺利,所以朋友和父母认为马克会放弃。故划线词意思是“放弃/抛弃”。故答案为Give up/ Abandon.
【49题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“Thirteen-year-old Sally Carter loved reading fantasy books. Inspired by magical maps in her stories, she wondered: what if we could build a real-world app that helps people explore hidden places in their own cities?( 13岁的萨莉·卡特喜欢阅读奇幻类书籍。受到她所读故事中那些神奇地图的启发,她不禁思考:如果我们能开发出一款真实世界的应用程序,帮助人们探索自己所在城市中的那些隐秘之地,那会是怎样的情景呢?)”可知,萨莉和她的朋友们所创建的应用程序帮助人们探索自己城市中那些像小型本地公园和花园之类的隐蔽场所。故答案为It helps people explore hidden places like small local parks and gardens in their own cities.
【50题详解】
考查开放题。根据“怎样才能像马克和萨莉那样将自己的想象付诸实践呢?”可回答:发现一个我关心的问题,然后大胆尝试,让想象成功地转化为现实。故答案为Spot a problem I care about and then experiment boldly and make the imagination land in practice successfully.

Fiction Reading
For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. But are novels simply a pleasant way to pass the time, or could it be true that reading fiction actually benefits our lives?
One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won’t. It can transport us to 17th-century France, or to war-torn Germany. It can take us to a future world in which artificial intelligence takes over and books are banned, or a fantasy world where people bail it out for food. Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven’t yet met. And this, according to Carrie Oates, a novelist and academic, is perhaps the real benefit of stories.
In one of Oates’ studies, participants were asked to read either a short story by Chekhov or a version of the story in documentary form. Those who were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going through greater changes in personality.
In another study, she showed participants photos of the eyes of people who were feeling and thinking different things. The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those thoughts and feelings than those who didn’t. Oates explains that when we read fiction, we enter into the minds of the characters. We think about why they behave in a certain way, and what they are likely to do next. Just as we might become more knowledgeable about psychology and astronomy if we read about psychology and astronomy, we get better at this kind of social thinking if we read fiction. This improves our understanding of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life.

【答案】作文
Students’ Use of Homework-Help Apps
Our interest group surveyed middle school students on homework-help apps. According to the pie chart, their purposes differ: 45% check answers, 35% get homework assistance, and 20% review for exams. The survey covered 200 students from three local middle schools, ensuring relatively representative results.
Their motivations vary: some solve tough problems or verify answers to find mistakes quickly, while others consolidate knowledge for exams.
These apps are double-edged. They offer quick answers to overcome obstacles but over-reliance harms independent thinking. Teachers and parents should also guide students to use such apps properly. Students should use them as supplements, not substitutes, to truly benefit and boost academic performance.
