Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books. Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C.-area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world’ more inclusive. By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice don’t matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.” LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to children’s books, all by D.C.-area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.” Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now-working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “I’m so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.” With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing. 4. Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods? A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works. C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores. 5. What might Woods agree with’ A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership. C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts. 6. What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4? A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment. C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition. 7. How will Woods develop LitBox in the future? A. Cooperate with more publishers. B. Extend its distribution. C. Raise funds for more authors. D. Diversify its book selection. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述获奖作家劳伦·伍兹受启发推出售书自动售卖机LitBox，售卖当地作者作品，挑战主流出版业，获得读者支持，她还计划扩大其覆盖范围。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world more inclusive.(对伍兹来说，LitBox不仅仅是一个新奇的想法；它是一个激情项目，旨在让当地文学更容易获得，让出版界更具包容性。)”可知，LitBox对伍兹来说是一个激情项目，因为它促进了当地文学作品的传播。因此，选项B“It promotes local literary works.(它促进了当地文学作品的传播)”符合题意。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones.(伍兹认为，质量并不总是符合大众市场的标准，销售数据也支持了她的观点——现在读者选择小出版社书目的比例几乎与选择大出版社的比例相同。)”以及“This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline.(对于一座面临艺术资金削减的城市来说，这种读者的支持尤为重要，因为LitBox已经证明了自己是一条至关重要的基层文学生命线。)”可知，伍兹认为小出版社的书目对读者有很大的影响，得到了读者的支持。因此，选项D“Small presses have big impacts.(小出版社有很大的影响)”符合题意。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. ‘The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.’(西方市场经理丹妮尔·费舍尔注意到，一整天都有路人被自动售货机吸引，她说LitBox正好融入了这个空间以社区为先的氛围。‘LitBox展示当地作家的想法真的很特别。’)”可知，LitBox得到了西方市场经理丹妮尔·费舍尔的认可，并且融入了社区氛围，说明它得到了公众的认可。因此，选项D“It receives public recognition.(它得到了公众的认可)”符合题意。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books.(伍兹筹集了近7000美元来启动这个项目，现在正努力在华盛顿特区各地推广，特别是在那些无法获得小出版社书籍的社区。)”可知，伍兹未来将扩大LitBox的发行范围。因此，选项B“Extend its distribution.(扩大其发行范围)”符合题意。故选B项。 C When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现，澳大利亚一处热带雨林从“碳汇”转变为“碳源”，即释放的碳比吸收的多，分析了这一转变的原因、意义，并引用专家观点说明相关长期数据的价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as ‘carbon sinks’ — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite.(说到给地球降温，热带雨林扮演着“碳汇”的角色——它们的树木从空气中吸收二氧化碳。现在，一项新研究发现澳大利亚的一处雨林却在做相反的事情)”以及第二段中的“researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago.(研究人员发现，这片森林释放的碳比吸收的多，这种转变大约发生在25年前)”可知，该研究聚焦于澳大利亚雨林碳平衡的变化（从吸收碳变为释放碳）。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University.(因为树木在枯萎腐烂时，会将储存的碳重新释放到大气中西悉尼大学森林生态系统研究员、该研究的主要作者汉娜·卡尔说，这种转变表明，这片澳大利亚雨林的树木死亡速度比几十年前更快了)”可知，第三段中的转变（从碳汇变为碳源）表明树木死亡率上升。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,(澳大利亚的湿润热带地区比其他大陆的热带雨林所处的气候更温暖、更干燥，因此有可能成为世界其他地区热带雨林未来遭遇的情况的analog)”可知，澳大利亚雨林的气候环境与其他地区未来可能出现的情况有相似性，由此可猜测analog意为“相似的例子”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.”(拉斐尔・特鲁夫任职于澳大利亚墨尔本大学，主要研究森林动态，且并未参与该项研究。他向《卫报》表示，这类数据集有助于追踪气候与环境的变化。“它能让我们将理论与现实对照，更深入地了解这些生态系统的运行机制。”)”可知，拉斐尔·特鲁夫认为这些长期数据集能帮助人们洞察真相（了解系统运作、验证理论）。故选A项。 D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了加州大学戴维斯分校研发的果冻冰，它可重复使用、生物降解且不融化成液态，用途广泛，目前未上市，还需完善，团队也在研究其他天然聚合物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing.(它在冰点以下保持固态，在室温下软化，通过简单的清洗和重新冷冻就可以重复使用。)”以及“We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.(我们可以重复使用这种材料，并在多个冷却和升温周期中保持吸热性，这是普通冰无法提供的优势。)”可知，与传统冰相比，果冻冰可以重复使用，这是其一大优势。因此，选项C“Repeated use.(重复使用)”符合题意。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻).(研究小组转向了明胶，一种食品安全的材料，其蛋白质结构即使在冷冻和解冻时也能锁住水分。)”以及第四段中的“The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil.(这种材料由天然成分制成，使用后可生物降解。它不会造成微塑料污染，甚至在添加到土壤中时还能带来改善番茄植物生长的额外好处。)”可知，果冻冰采用的是一种安全的材料，且使用后可生物降解，不会造成微塑料污染，甚至还能改善番茄植物的生长。由此可推知，作者暗示果冻冰降低了对环境的影响。因此，选项D“It lowers environmental impacts.(它降低了环境影响)”符合题意。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing.(尽管这项技术的许可证已经获得，但果冻冰尚未向公众出售。它仍然需要进行市场分析、产品设计和大规模生产测试。)”可知，果冻冰虽然已经获得了技术许可，但仍然需要进行市场分析、产品设计和大规模生产测试，这意味着果冻冰还需要进一步的发展。因此，选项B“Jelly ice needs further development.(果冻冰需要进一步发展)”符合题意。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid.(现在，加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员发明了一种果冻冰，这是一种可重复使用且可生物降解的替代品，它像冰一样冷却，但永远不会融化成液体。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一种新型的冷却材料——果冻冰，它像冰一样冷却，但永远不会融化成液体。因此，选项C“A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt.(一种不会融化的冷却材料)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____16____.

But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland. The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did. Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further. After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity. 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。 In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. Standing up, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. “My name, Qiuyu, combines the characters for autumn and rain in Chinese,” I began, my voice steady. “Autumn represents harvest and maturity, while rain symbolizes nourishment and growth. Together, they embody a time of abundance and renewal.” As I spoke, I noticed the rapt attention of my classmates, their eyes reflecting curiosity and respect. It was a moment of connection, a bridge built between cultures through the simple act of sharing my name. Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. They surrounded me, their questions pouring out like a stream. “What other names have beautiful meanings in Chinese?” “Can you teach us how to write our names in Chinese characters?” I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through me. I took out a piece of paper and began to sketch out characters, explaining each stroke and its significance. Through this interaction, I realized that by embracing my cultural identity, I was not only preserving my heritage but also enriching the lives of those around me. It was a small yet meaningful step towards fostering cultural understanding and appreciation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者作为国际学生在爱尔兰因中文名字发音难而遭遇挑战，之后在一次课堂讨论中分享名字含义，意识到分享文化身份重要性，并借此与同学增进文化理解的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在课堂讨论中，我被邀请解释我名字的含义。”可知，第一段可描写作者在课堂讨论中解释自己名字的含义，并感受到同学们的专注和尊重，意识到这是一个文化交流的契机。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的许多同学都很感兴趣，下课后都来找我。”可知，第二段可描写课后同学们对作者名字背后的文化产生浓厚兴趣，纷纷提问，作者通过教他们写中文名字，进一步加深了彼此的文化理解和欣赏。 2.续写线索：课堂受邀请解释名字的含义——作者阐释名字的寓意——同学们专注倾听——同学们对名字背后的文化感兴趣——作者教他们写中文名字——感悟文化桥接 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①代表：represent/stand for ②解释：explain/illustrate ③保护：preserve/protect 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/tension ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】As I spoke, I noticed the rapt attention of my classmates, their eyes reflecting curiosity and respect.(运用了as引导的状语从句以及独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】Through this interaction, I realized that by embracing my cultural identity, I was not only preserving my heritage but also enriching the lives of those around me.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和“not only...but also...”连接两个并列结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 襄阳四中2026届高三上学期晚自习测试(十三) 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满7.5分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Plan your journey by checking out some top picks: Birmingham Museum of Art Birmingham is a destination for historic architecture, theatres, and James Beard award-winning Southern food. And one of the best samples of the local culture is the city’s Museum of Art. The museum houses over 24,000 pieces from global cultures, plus a fine collection of Renaissance and Academic art. Don’t miss the museum’s Charles W. Ireland Sculpture Garden. In an effort to make art more accessible to the blind and people with vision loss, the garden features several sculptures meant to be touched. Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS) While attracting many families, this Denver museum is best known for its great exhibitions that draw huge crowds. You can expect ticketed and timed temporary exhibitions that showcase everything from the treasures of China to the culture of Cuba. Its massive, varied collection features a giant dinosaur skeleton (骨架), plus exhibits on outer space and the human body. Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) Perfect for the young and young-at-heart, OMSI is a magnificent museum that will keep the whole family entertained for days.

B Hidden beside the crowded Western Market food hall, a brightly lit vending machine (自动售卖机) is turning heads. Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books. Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C.-area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world’ more inclusive. By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice don’t matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.” LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to children’s books, all by D.C.-area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.” Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now-working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “I’m so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.” With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing. 4. Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods? A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works. C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores. 5. What might Woods agree with’ A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership. C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts. 6. What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4? A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment. C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition. 7. How will Woods develop LitBox in the future? A. Cooperate with more publishers. B. Extend its distribution. C. Raise funds for more authors. D. Diversify its book selection. C When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____16____. You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful. ____17____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information. Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they weren’t listened to or heard. ____18____This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they’re not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned. It’s hard to stop overexplaining when it’s hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and noticing when you’re explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little, It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more. ____19____. One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____20____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A. In this case you are overexplaining. B. But it gets easier with more practice. C. You feel sorry for what you have explained. D. Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E. They were worried about the environment they grew up in. F. Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain. G.

But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland. The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did. Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further. After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity. 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。 In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
