When someone hears I always visit Mrs. Bacon, my eighth-grade English teacher, they often say, “That’s so sweet of you to look in on your old teacher.” In fact, she has done far more for me than I could ever do for her. She was brought into my life for a reason.
Mrs. Bacon distinguished herself on the first day by giving each student a journal. “This is for your honest thoughts,” she explained. “Write freely. If there’s anything you don’t want to share with me, just mark it and I’ll skip it.” This offer meant a lot. I loved writing, yet I hid my home life. My home was filled with tense arguments. Mrs. Bacon’s class became my safe place.
Once, I came down with the flu and had to stay at home. I found my journal with a note: “Describe a day from an observer’s perspective.” I wrote pages, finally telling the painful reality I protected myself from. That night, I slept peacefully for the first time in months.
Back at school, a note on my journal read, “Please see me.” Anxiety struck — I’d forgotten to mark the entry private. After class, Mrs. Bacon said gently, “I read your pages. My heart aches for you.” Over lunch, she volunteered to tell stories of her own struggle with loss. Her openness dissolved my shame. I felt safe being just as open and honest with her. She listened, offering a safe place without judgment. This sincere connection became my inner strength, paving the way for the lifelong guidance she would offer me.
At the end of school year, she told me, “You have a gift for writing. I expect to witness your journey.” She kept her word, remaining a guiding force which inspired my careers in education and writing — my first novel was dedicated to her.
Mrs. Bacon’s deepest impact was transformative. As the first person I could wholeheartedly rely on, she led me toward greater strength and faith.
4. Why did Mrs. Bacon give each student a journal?
A. To improve their writing skills.
B. To encourage them to make up stories.
C. To help them escape family arguments.
D. To allow them to express true feelings safely.
5. Why did Mrs. Bacon share her personal struggles?

Plastic has earned its bad reputation due to pollution, yet it remains fundamental to modern life — from medicine and electronics to transportation. Its production, however, relies on fossil fuels and contributes to climate change.
Bioplastics, often seen as a green alternative, present their own challenges. They typically require industrial treatment to break down, and their production process often results in more carbon emissions than traditional plastics. Growing crops for bioplastics also consumes resources like water and fertilizers, which can lead to water pollution. Furthermore, mixing bioplastics with regular recycling can ruin streams, rivers and oceans.
A more promising solution is emerging: making plastic from carbon dioxide (CO2). “Instead of using fossil fuel, you can turn the industry on its head by using waste carbon dioxide,” says Professor Peter Styring, who researches this technology. This approach not only reduces fossil fuel use but also helps lower greenhouse gas emissions by using captured CO2.
Scientists are developing special helpers to transform CO2 into various plastics. For example, companies are already producing polyurethane foam (聚氨酯泡沫)using CO2 as a raw material. These new materials are just as good as or even better than the quality of conventional plastics in some aspects, such as flame resistance. Economically, using cheaper CO2 instead of traditional raw materials could save millions.
Research continues to expand the possibilities. Some teams are aiming at producing ethylene — a key ingredient for half the world’s plastics — from CO2, water, and electricity. Others are developing safer, sugar-based plastics for medical use. While large-scale commercial production may take years, this innovative path offers a potential route to more sustainable plastics, addressing both waste and climate concerns.
8. What is a disadvantage of bioplastics?
A. Higher production costs. B. Higher carbon footprint.
C. Complex recycling process. D. Limited product applications.
9. What can be inferred about plastics made from CO2?
A. They’re the cheapest option available.
B. Their quality is worse than traditional plastics.
C. Their production technology is fully developed.
D. They bring environmental and economic benefits.
10. Why is “ethylene” mentioned in the text?
A. To detail its chemical properties. B. To show its environmental harm.
C. To highlight a key research target. D. To compare it with polyurethane.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Problems of Bioplastics B. Future of Carbon Dioxide Use
C. New Path for Plastic Production D. Ending Our Dependence on Plastic
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了塑料生产面临的环境问题,并介绍了利用二氧化碳生产塑料这一更具前景的解决方案及其优势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bioplastics, often seen as a green alternative, present their own challenges. They typically require industrial treatment to break down, and their production process often results in more carbon emissions than traditional plastics.(生物塑料常被视为一种绿色替代品,但它本身也存在诸多问题。生物塑料通常需要经过工业处理才能降解,而且其生产过程产生的碳排放往往高于传统塑料。)”可知,生物塑料的缺点是碳排放量更高。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“These new materials are just as good as or even better than the quality of conventional plastics in some aspects, such as flame resistance. Economically, using cheaper CO2 instead of traditional raw materials could save millions.(这些新材料在某些方面,如阻燃性,与传统塑料的质量一样好,甚至更好。从经济角度来看,使用更便宜的二氧化碳代替传统原材料可以节省数百万美元。)”可知,用二氧化碳制造的塑料既环保又经济。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Some teams are aiming at producing ethylene — a key ingredient for half the world’s plastics — from CO2, water, and electricity.(一些团队的目标是用二氧化碳、水和电力生产乙烯,乙烯是世界上一半塑料的关键成分。)”可知,文中提到“乙烯”是为了强调一个关键的研究目标。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第三段中“A more promising solution is emerging: making plastic from carbon dioxide (CO2).(一个更有前景的解决方案出现了:用二氧化碳制造塑料。)”可知,文章主要介绍了塑料生产面临的环境问题,并提出了利用二氧化碳生产塑料这一更具前景的解决方案,因此C选项“塑料生产的新途径”最符合文章主旨。故选C。

Have you ever wondered if animals “see the world” in the same way we do? According to a new study, the answer is no — not only do animals perceive their surroundings differently, but they also experience time itself at greatly different speeds. The research studied 237 animal species and found that an animal’s lifestyle strongly influences how fast it processes visual information.
The speed of visual perception (感知) is measured using a universal standard called “critical flicker fusion (CFF)”, which refers to the fastest rate at which a flickering light can be seen as separate flashes, not a continuous light. For instance, humans can perceive flicker (闪烁) up to about 60 flashes per second, while some birds and insects can detect over 200 flashes. That means they see the world in much finer detail in terms of time, almost like watching slow motion.
The study uncovered several key findings. Flying species tend to have the fastest visual processing — about twice as fast as non-flying animals. Predators (捕食者) that chase fast-moving prey also have quicker vision compared to animals feeding on slow or stationary food. In addition, animals active in bright daylight generally have faster vision than those living in dark or deep-water environments. These differences are not random. Scientists believe they are shaped by evolution to match each animal’s ecological needs. Undoubtedly, faster visual processing brings great survival benefits: it allows animals to react instantly when flying, hunting or escaping. However, it comes with a high cost, as rapid neural processing consumes huge amounts of energy.
The findings also raise concerns about the impacts of artificial lights, which flicker at rates invisible to humans but may disturb animals with fast visual system by affecting their hunting success, navigation, and predator-prey interactions.
“Understanding how animals perceive time helps us understand how they behave, evolve, and respond to environmental change,” said lead author Dr Haarlem. “It also reminds us that the world we experience is just one version of many.”
12. What is CFF according to the text?
A. The point of light invisible to animals.
B. The number of light flashes per second.
C. The frequency of light flickering in nature.
D. The standard for visual perception speed.
13. Which of the animals processes visual information fastest?
A. An eagle. B. A fish. C. A snake. D. A tiger.
14. What negative effect may artificial lights have on animals?
A. They make all animals lose their way.
B. They prevent animals from hunting.
C. They disturb animals’ survival activities.
D. They do harm to animals’ visual system.
15. What do Dr Haarlem’s words imply?
A. Humans perceive time in the most advanced way.
B. The real world is far more diverse than humans perceive.
C. Animals experience the world in the same way as humans do.
D. Animals’ perception of time decides their living environment.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于动物视觉感知速度的研究,揭示了不同动物根据其生活习性(如是否飞行、捕食方式、活动环境等)进化出不同的视觉信息处理速度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The speed of visual perception (感知) is measured using a universal standard called “critical flicker fusion (CFF)”, which refers to the fastest rate at which a flickering light can be seen as separate flashes, not a continuous light. (视觉感知的速度使用一种通用标准来衡量,称为“临界闪烁融合频率”,它指的是闪烁的光能被看作是独立闪光而非连续光的最高频率)”可知,CFF是衡量视觉感知速度的标准。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Flying species tend to have the fastest visual processing — about twice as fast as non-flying animals. (飞行物种往往拥有最快的视觉处理速度——大约是非飞行动物的两倍)”可知,拥有最快视觉信息处理的动物应是会飞的物种。选项中只有鹰是飞行物种。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The findings also raise concerns about the impacts of artificial lights, which flicker at rates invisible to humans but may disturb animals with fast visual system by affecting their hunting success, navigation, and predator-prey interactions. (这些发现也引发了对人造光影响的担忧。人造光以人类不可见的频率闪烁,但可能会干扰视觉系统较快的动物,影响它们的捕猎成功率、导航以及捕食者与猎物之间的互动)”可知,人造光可能干扰动物的生存活动。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Dr Haarlem的话“It also reminds us that the world we experience is just one version of many. (它也提醒我们,我们所体验的世界只是众多版本中的一个)”可知,Dr Haarlem暗示真实世界远比人类所感知的更加多样。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了京剧这一中国珍贵的文化遗产在数字娱乐时代所经历的显著回归,以及年轻演员们如何通过创新和传承使京剧保持其相关性和吸引力。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:在过去200年里,京剧一直是中国最珍贵的文化遗产之一。根据时间状语“over the past 200 years”可知,此处应该使用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has+过去分词”,主语“Peking opera”为第三人称单数,助动词用has,be的过去分词为been。故填has been。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:在这个以数字娱乐为主导的时代,得益于像张婉婷这样年轻表演者的奉献,这门古老艺术正迎来显著的回归。根据空前的定冠词“the”和空后的介词“of”可知,此处应该使用名词形式作宾语,devote的名词形式为devotion,意为“奉献”,为不可数名词。故填devotion。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这位女演员将数百年的传统与现代魅力相结合,展现了古典艺术形式如何在当今时代保持活力。空处作非谓语动词,逻辑主语“This actress”与动词demonstrate之间为主动关系,所以应该使用现在分词形式作状语,表示伴随。故填demonstrating。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:张婉婷对“椅子功”——宋派代表性绝技的熟练掌握,体现了这门艺术所要求的严苛训练。空处修饰名词“move”,应该使用形容词形式作定语,represent的形容词形式为representative,意为“代表性的”。故填representative。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这一绝技需要在狭窄的扶手上完成复杂的平衡与造型,需要多年的刻苦练习,代表着京剧身体控制与艺术表达的最高水平。 “_____ involves complex balancing and posing on a narrow chair handle”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“This trick”,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以应该使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:尽管面临来自现代娱乐形式的激烈竞争,京剧凭借其独特的音乐、身段、舞蹈和杂技组合,持续吸引着观众。空处修饰名词“unique mix”,应该使用形容词性物主代词its,表示“它的”。故填its。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:像张婉婷这样的年轻艺术家站在文化保护的前沿,为传统技艺注入新的理解,以确保其持续的价值与吸引力。根据空前的形容词“Young”和空后的“like Zhang”可知,此处应该使用名词复数形式表示一类人,art的名词形式为artist,意为“艺术家”,其复数形式为artists。故填artists。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:像张婉婷这样的年轻艺术家站在文化保护的前沿,为传统技艺注入新的理解,以确保其持续的价值与吸引力。空处作非谓语动词,根据句意可知,此处表示目的,应该使用动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to ensure。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:京剧经久不衰的魅力,不仅在于其高超的技艺展示,更在于它能通过独特表演传递深厚情感。表示“不仅……而且……”,应该使用固定搭配“not just…but…”。故填but。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:正如张婉婷和她的同辈们所展现的,这门艺术在保留核心传统的同时不断进化的能力,是其在数字时代生存与发展的关键。表示“……的关键”,应该使用固定搭配“the key to…”。故填to。

Dear Chris,
I hope this email finds you well! I’m so glad you’re interested in the photos from the March event of our class.
We organized a meaningful activity called “Spring Warmth Action.” Last Friday, we visited a local nursing home and presented performances we had prepared, such as singing and storytelling. After that, we chatted with the elderly, listened to their life stories and helped tidy up their rooms. The warm smiles on their faces truly touched us all.
This experience was really rewarding. Not only did this experience remind us that small acts of kindness can make a big difference, but it also brought us the joy of caring for others.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Born and raised in the US, I often heard my father talk about the history, ancient traditions and warm-hearted people of his homeland — China. When he shared those, his eyes always lit up, which planted a seed of curiosity in my heart. At 18, I went to China as an exchange student, eager to explore the country he loved. I had thought the journey would be easy, yet cultural gaps soon made me feel lost and out of place.
Those subtle differences between my life in the US and here soon made daily life feel like a series of small challenges. Every morning when I walked into the classroom, classmates would lean over and ask, “Did you sleep well last night?” or “What did you have for breakfast?” I’d freeze for a second, not knowing how to respond. In the US, we’d just nod and say “Hi” without digging into such personal details. I’d mumble a quick “Fine” and hurry to my seat, not knowing the “right” ways to reply.
I also struggled with the use of chopsticks and misread a classmate’s kind reminder as a criticism. All these small discomforts piled up, leaving me confused and lonely. One night, I couldn’t hold back anymore and called my father, pouring out all my frustration and confusion. He gently said, “It’s not about fitting in, but understanding.”
Hearing his words, I realized what matters. I decided to embrace Chinese culture with an open heart. I turned to my father for more stories about his hometown, spending 30 minutes every morning learning Chinese characters. My Chinese friends taught me how to use chopsticks properly, took me to try local snacks, and explained the meaning behind some idioms.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

Gradually, I came to understand Chinese culture.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Gradually, I came to understand Chinese culture. Those daily greetings that once embarrassed me turned out to be the most sincere kindness from my classmates. I finally realized that the small traditions my father had told me were deeply rooted in everyday life. I began to appreciate the warmth in shared meals, the beauty in Chinese characters, and the respect hidden in simple manners. I no longer regarded cultural differences as challenges, but as chances to connect with a wonderful culture. I’m truly grateful for this exchange experience to see, feel and understand the land that my father has been loving.
Back in the US, I couldn’t wait to share this experience with my classmates. I told them vivid stories about my life in China, the kind friends I had made, and the colorful traditions I had experienced. I showed them photos of local snacks and meaningful customs, helping them see a real and lively China beyond textbooks. I also explained how I had changed from feeling lost to fully understanding and loving Chinese culture. This exchange journey has changed my mind, teaching me to understand, respect, and appreciate different cultures.

When someone hears I always visit Mrs. Bacon, my eighth-grade English teacher, they often say, “That’s so sweet of you to look in on your old teacher.” In fact, she has done far more for me than I could ever do for her. She was brought into my life for a reason.
Mrs. Bacon distinguished herself on the first day by giving each student a journal. “This is for your honest thoughts,” she explained. “Write freely. If there’s anything you don’t want to share with me, just mark it and I’ll skip it.” This offer meant a lot. I loved writing, yet I hid my home life. My home was filled with tense arguments. Mrs. Bacon’s class became my safe place.
Once, I came down with the flu and had to stay at home. I found my journal with a note: “Describe a day from an observer’s perspective.” I wrote pages, finally telling the painful reality I protected myself from. That night, I slept peacefully for the first time in months.
Back at school, a note on my journal read, “Please see me.” Anxiety struck — I’d forgotten to mark the entry private. After class, Mrs. Bacon said gently, “I read your pages. My heart aches for you.” Over lunch, she volunteered to tell stories of her own struggle with loss. Her openness dissolved my shame. I felt safe being just as open and honest with her. She listened, offering a safe place without judgment. This sincere connection became my inner strength, paving the way for the lifelong guidance she would offer me.
At the end of school year, she told me, “You have a gift for writing. I expect to witness your journey.” She kept her word, remaining a guiding force which inspired my careers in education and writing — my first novel was dedicated to her.
Mrs. Bacon’s deepest impact was transformative. As the first person I could wholeheartedly rely on, she led me toward greater strength and faith.
4. Why did Mrs. Bacon give each student a journal?
A. To improve their writing skills.
B. To encourage them to make up stories.
C. To help them escape family arguments.
D. To allow them to express true feelings safely.
5. Why did Mrs. Bacon share her personal struggles?
A. To create mutual trust. B. To teach a life lesson.
C. To explain her sadness. D. To compare experiences.
6. What does the underlined word “dissolved” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Recorded. B. Removed. C. Understood. D. Strengthened.
7. Which best describes Mrs. Bacon’s influence on the author?
A. Positive and far-reaching. B. Shallow and all-round.
C. Meaningless and life-changing. D. Inspiring and short-term.
C
Plastic has earned its bad reputation due to pollution, yet it remains fundamental to modern life — from medicine and electronics to transportation. Its production, however, relies on fossil fuels and contributes to climate change.
Bioplastics, often seen as a green alternative, present their own challenges. They typically require industrial treatment to break down, and their production process often results in more carbon emissions than traditional plastics. Growing crops for bioplastics also consumes resources like water and fertilizers, which can lead to water pollution. Furthermore, mixing bioplastics with regular recycling can ruin streams, rivers and oceans.
A more promising solution is emerging: making plastic from carbon dioxide (CO2). “Instead of using fossil fuel, you can turn the industry on its head by using waste carbon dioxide,” says Professor Peter Styring, who researches this technology. This approach not only reduces fossil fuel use but also helps lower greenhouse gas emissions by using captured CO2.
Scientists are developing special helpers to transform CO2 into various plastics. For example, companies are already producing polyurethane foam (聚氨酯泡沫)using CO2 as a raw material. These new materials are just as good as or even better than the quality of conventional plastics in some aspects, such as flame resistance. Economically, using cheaper CO2 instead of traditional raw materials could save millions.
Research continues to expand the possibilities. Some teams are aiming at producing ethylene — a key ingredient for half the world’s plastics — from CO2, water, and electricity. Others are developing safer, sugar-based plastics for medical use. While large-scale commercial production may take years, this innovative path offers a potential route to more sustainable plastics, addressing both waste and climate concerns.
8. What is a disadvantage of bioplastics?
A. Higher production costs. B. Higher carbon footprint.
C. Complex recycling process. D. Limited product applications.
9. What can be inferred about plastics made from CO2?
A. They’re the cheapest option available.
B. Their quality is worse than traditional plastics.
C. Their production technology is fully developed.
D. They bring environmental and economic benefits.
10. Why is “ethylene” mentioned in the text?
A. To detail its chemical properties. B. To show its environmental harm.
C. To highlight a key research target. D. To compare it with polyurethane.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Problems of Bioplastics B. Future of Carbon Dioxide Use
C. New Path for Plastic Production D. Ending Our Dependence on Plastic

Have you ever wondered if animals “see the world” in the same way we do? According to a new study, the answer is no — not only do animals perceive their surroundings differently, but they also experience time itself at greatly different speeds. The research studied 237 animal species and found that an animal’s lifestyle strongly influences how fast it processes visual information.
The speed of visual perception (感知) is measured using a universal standard called “critical flicker fusion (CFF)”, which refers to the fastest rate at which a flickering light can be seen as separate flashes, not a continuous light. For instance, humans can perceive flicker (闪烁) up to about 60 flashes per second, while some birds and insects can detect over 200 flashes. That means they see the world in much finer detail in terms of time, almost like watching slow motion.
The study uncovered several key findings. Flying species tend to have the fastest visual processing — about twice as fast as non-flying animals. Predators (捕食者) that chase fast-moving prey also have quicker vision compared to animals feeding on slow or stationary food. In addition, animals active in bright daylight generally have faster vision than those living in dark or deep-water environments. These differences are not random. Scientists believe they are shaped by evolution to match each animal’s ecological needs. Undoubtedly, faster visual processing brings great survival benefits: it allows animals to react instantly when flying, hunting or escaping. However, it comes with a high cost, as rapid neural processing consumes huge amounts of energy.
The findings also raise concerns about the impacts of artificial lights, which flicker at rates invisible to humans but may disturb animals with fast visual system by affecting their hunting success, navigation, and predator-prey interactions.
“Understanding how animals perceive time helps us understand how they behave, evolve, and respond to environmental change,” said lead author Dr Haarlem. “It also reminds us that the world we experience is just one version of many.”

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Born and raised in the US, I often heard my father talk about the history, ancient traditions and warm-hearted people of his homeland — China. When he shared those, his eyes always lit up, which planted a seed of curiosity in my heart. At 18, I went to China as an exchange student, eager to explore the country he loved. I had thought the journey would be easy, yet cultural gaps soon made me feel lost and out of place.
Those subtle differences between my life in the US and here soon made daily life feel like a series of small challenges. Every morning when I walked into the classroom, classmates would lean over and ask, “Did you sleep well last night?” or “What did you have for breakfast?” I’d freeze for a second, not knowing how to respond. In the US, we’d just nod and say “Hi” without digging into such personal details. I’d mumble a quick “Fine” and hurry to my seat, not knowing the “right” ways to reply.
I also struggled with the use of chopsticks and misread a classmate’s kind reminder as a criticism. All these small discomforts piled up, leaving me confused and lonely. One night, I couldn’t hold back anymore and called my father, pouring out all my frustration and confusion. He gently said, “It’s not about fitting in, but understanding.”
Hearing his words, I realized what matters. I decided to embrace Chinese culture with an open heart. I turned to my father for more stories about his hometown, spending 30 minutes every morning learning Chinese characters. My Chinese friends taught me how to use chopsticks properly, took me to try local snacks, and explained the meaning behind some idioms.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gradually, I came to understand Chinese culture.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back in the US, I couldn’t wait to share this experience with my classmates.
