Environmental groups have claimed success after bringing local wildlife back to Hackney Marshes in East London following the destruction of habitats in recent years.
Weasels (鼬), wood mice and other small mammals (哺乳动物) had been disappearing from around the River Lea until hundreds of volunteers began rebuilding their ecosystems. All he volunteers had been on edge realizing the increasingly urgent problem. Now, all paid off. Ian Phillips, an ecologist as well as one of the volunteers, said, “It finally happened. It was absolutely a comfort and pleasure to see everything fall into place.”
With funding from Hackney Council, the mission was undertaken. Mr. Phillips explained wood mice’s disappearing caused a chain reaction. Weasels left the habitat, and that in turn impacted the population of a type of local bind, “It’s like a classic sort of building block game — if you pull any piece out of the local ecosystem, everything can collapse,” he said. “So three years ago, when we realized we were at a critical point, we took it upon ourselves to do something.”
The departure of wildlife resulted mainly from larger numbers of visitors and houseboaters taking logs from the area to use for firewood. While these gatherings made the headlines, the loud noise and log burning caused great disturbance to local species, driving kingfishers and small birds to abandon their nests. A rise in dog ownership also posed a threat to Hackney Marshes’ mammals. “When you’ve got 3,000 dogs coming through here a day sometimes, there’s going to be death,” Mr. Philips added.
This project shows what can be done with local knowledge and devotion in partnership with the council. The rewilders said they’re working to expand their efforts across the region into Millfields Park and London Fields. They are also actively training council staff to help them recover species in the wider area. Meanwhile, Hackney Council has given them the green light to introduce other species like slow worms into Hackney Marshes.
4. How did Phillips’ feeling change?
A. From doubtful to proud. B. From alarmed to astonished.
C. From helpless to hopeful. D. From pressured to relieved.
5. What do Phillips’ words imply in paragraph 3?
A. Wood mice will disappear completely. B. The ecosystem has been unstable.
C. Every species in the ecosystem is vital. D. Their success relies on a joint effort.
6 What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Causes of the disappearance of wildlife. B. Biological diversity in Hackney Marshes.
C. Death threat from dogs to local mammals. D. Conflicts between tourism and conservation.
7. What are the rewilders attempting to do?
A. Gain support of the local council. B. Educate the public on wildlife protection.
C. Restore biodiversity in more areas. D. Monitor the foreign species in the region.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述环保组织通过重建生态系统让伦敦哈克尼沼泽地野生动物回归的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“All he volunteers had been on edge realizing the increasingly urgent problem. Now, all paid off. Ian Phillips, an ecologist as well as one of the volunteers, said, “It finally happened. It was absolutely a comfort and pleasure to see everything fall into place.”(所有志愿者都曾因意识到这个日益紧迫的问题而焦虑不安。如今,一切努力都有了回报。生态学家兼志愿者之一的伊恩・菲利普斯(Ian Phillips)说:“这终于实现了。看到一切步入正轨,绝对是一种安慰和乐趣。”)”可知,菲利普斯的感受从紧张变为宽慰。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Weasels left the habitat, and that in turn impacted the population of a type of local bind, “It’s like a classic sort of building block game — if you pull any piece out of the local ecosystem, everything can collapse,” he said. (鼬离开了这片栖息地,这进而影响了当地一种鸟类的种群数量。“这就像一个经典的积木游戏 —— 如果你从当地生态系统中抽出任何一块,一切都可能崩塌,” 他说。)”可知,菲利普斯的话暗示生态系统中的每个物种都至关重要。故选C项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The departure of wildlife resulted mainly from larger numbers of visitors and houseboaters taking logs from the area to use for firewood. While these gatherings made the headlines, the loud noise and log burning caused great disturbance to local species, driving kingfishers and small birds to abandon their nests. A rise in dog ownership also posed a threat to Hackney Marshes’ mammals. (野生动物的离去主要源于大量游客和房船使用者从该区域砍伐原木用作柴火。尽管这些聚集活动成为了头条新闻,但巨大的噪音和焚烧原木的行为对当地物种造成了严重干扰,致使翠鸟和小型鸟类放弃了它们的巢穴。此外,养狗数量的增加也对哈克尼湿地(Hackney Marshes)的哺乳动物构成了威胁。)”可知,第四段主要谈论野生动物消失的原因。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The rewilders said they’re working to expand their efforts across the region into Millfields Park and London Fields. They are also actively training council staff to help them recover species in the wider area. (野生动物保护者表示,他们正致力于将保护工作从该区域拓展至米尔菲尔德公园(Millfields Park)和伦敦田野(London Fields)。他们还在积极培训市政工作人员,以协助其在更广泛的区域内开展物种恢复工作。)”可知,野生动物保护者正试图在更多地区恢复生物多样性。故选C项。
C
The ability to think about what others are thinking, known as “theory of mind”, is a crucial aspect of human interaction and cooperation. Scientists have long been intrigued if animals share this capability. Recent studies suggest that some animals, particularly great apes like chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩), might possess this skill.
A notable experiment conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University’s Ape Initiative provides convincing evidence. The study involved three male bonobos, who were taught to communicate using signs or symbols. These apes are known for their intelligence and cooperative problem-solving skills.
In the experiment, scientist Luke Townrow sat across from a bonobo while another scientist hid a small snack under one of three inverted (使倒置) cups. The bonobo witnessed the hiding process but Mr Townrow was only able to see the cups half the time. When Mr Townrow couldn’t see where the snack was hidden, he would act confused and ask, “Hmm, where is the grape?” before waiting for 10 seconds.
The results showed that when Mr Townrow lacked knowledge of the snack’s location, the bonobos pointed to the correct cup more quickly and frequently. This behaviour indicates that the bonobos were aware of Mr Townrow’s knowledge state and adapted their responses accordingly.
While the study had limitations—such as the small number of bonobos and the possibility that their upbringing around humans influenced their behaviour—the findings are significant. They suggest that bonobos indeed have a theory of mind, allowing them to consider others’ thoughts and adjust their actions based on what they know others do not.
This discovery enhances our understanding of animal cognition (认知) and social behaviour. It implies that the ability to think about others’ thoughts, once thought to be uniquely human, may be more widespread in the animal kingdom than previously believed. Further research with larger groups and wild bonobos could provide deeper insights into the extent and evolution of this cognitive ability in animals.
8. What does the underlined word "intrigued" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Curious. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Amazed.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The effect of the experiment. B. The process of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The principle of the experiment.
10. What is the result of the experiment?
A. All animals have cognitive ability.
B. Bonobos can be trained to communicate freely.
C. Bonobos have a theory of mind similar to humans.
D. Scientist Luke Townrow is skilled in confusing bonobos.
11. What may scientists view the experiment as?
A. A morally questionable experiment.
B. A definitive conclusion of the study.
C. A time-consuming and cost-effective trial.
D. A starting point for future investigations.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家对动物是否具有“心智理论(theory of mind)”的研究,特别是通过约翰斯·霍普金斯大学猿类计划(Ape Initiative)的一项实验,发现倭黑猩猩可能具备这种能力。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The ability to think about what others are thinking, known as “theory of mind”, is a crucial aspect of human interaction and cooperation.( 能够揣摩他人想法的能力,即所谓的“心智理论”,是人类交流与合作的关键要素。)”以及划线单词句中“Scientists have long been …if animals share this capability.( 科学家们一直对动物是否具备这种能力……。)”由此可知,科学家们长期以来一直对动物是否具有人类互动和合作中至关重要的“心智理论”能力感到好奇。故可猜测intrigued的意思是“好奇的”,与A选项curious“好奇的”意思相近。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In the experiment, scientist Luke Townrow sat across from a bonobo while another scientist hid a small snack under one of three inverted (使倒置) cups. The bonobo witnessed the hiding process but Mr Townrow was only able to see the cups half the time. When Mr Townrow couldn’t see where the snack was hidden, he would act confused and ask, “Hmm, where is the grape?” before waiting for 10 seconds.( 在实验中,科学家卢克·汤罗站在一只倭黑猩猩对面,而另一位科学家将一小块零食藏在三个倒置的杯子中的一只下面。这只倭黑猩猩目睹了藏零食的过程,但汤罗先生只有半数时间能看到杯子的位置。当汤罗先生无法看到零食藏在哪里时,他会显得困惑并问道:“嗯,葡萄在哪里?”然后等待 10 秒钟。)”可知,这段主要关注的是实验过程。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The results showed that when Mr Townrow lacked knowledge of the snack’s location, the bonobos pointed to the correct cup more quickly and frequently. This behaviour indicates that the bonobos were aware of Mr Townrow’s knowledge state and adapted their responses accordingly.( 实验结果表明,当汤罗先生不了解零食的位置时,倭黑猩猩指向正确杯子的速度更快、更频繁。这种行为表明,倭黑猩猩能够了解汤罗先生的知识状态,并相应地调整自己的反应。)”实验结果描述,当汤罗先生不知道零食藏在哪里时,倭黑猩猩能更快速且频繁地指向正确的杯子。这表明它们知道汤罗先生的知识状态并相应地调整了反应。由此可以得出结论,倭黑猩猩确实具有类似人类的“心智理论”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Further research with larger groups and wild bonobos could provide deeper insights into the extent and evolution of this cognitive ability in animals.( 对更大规模群体和野生倭黑猩猩的进一步研究可能会为我们提供关于这种认知能力在动物中的范围和进化的更深入见解。)”表明科学家认为这个实验虽然有局限性,但为未来的研究提供了一个起点,未来可以通过更大规模的研究和野生倭黑猩猩的研究来更深入地了解动物的这种认知能力。所以科学家可能将这个实验视为未来研究的起点。故选D项。
D
“My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days.
Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic.
Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff. A survey by Gartner, a research firm, found that a fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office. For some companies, that may be the point. Getting some of them to leave voluntarily would reduce costs, though it also risks losing talented employees.
Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance. Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive. There’s less evidence, though, that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance. A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office.
Bosses may argue that complex tasks, such as designing a user interface, can require a lot of cooperation that may be difficult to perform virtually. Junior employees may also receive less coaching if they interact with others from home. Some bosses argue that this will harm their company’s culture, as new employees don’t absorb it and old ones forget it. Mr. Jassy wrote that Amazon’s culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success, and that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, practise, and strengthen it when working together in the office.
For now investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change.
12. What did the Amazon worker complain about on Blind?
A. The increase in remote work hours. B. The shift in the company’s leadership.
C. The requirement of the five-day office work. D. The lack of opportunities for advancement.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Office work is always more productive. B. Hybrid work is the best for all companies.
C. Remote work leads to a lack of enthusiasm. D. The effect of work mode on productivity isn’t clear-cut.
14. What’s Jassy’s attitude towards ordering employees to return to the office?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Reserved. D. Indifferent.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Limit Work Days to Promote Productivity
B. Know Corporate Culture via Remote Work
C. Obey the Order and Stop Making Complaints
D. Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了亚马逊公司要求员工每周五天回到办公室工作引发的员工反应、行业趋势、老板们的观点以及投资者的态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段““My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days. (“我对这份工作的热情完全没了。”一位亚马逊员工最近在 Blind(一个供员工吐槽雇主的在线论坛)上写道。这一切都源于科技巨头亚马逊的老板Andy Jassy发出的一封信,信中要求员工每周需返回办公室工作五天,而不是此前的三天。)”可知,员工抱怨的是每周需五天回办公室工作的要求。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance. Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive. There’s less evidence, though, that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance. A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office. (许多老板认为,员工在办公室办公能带来更好的工作表现。大量研究表明,远程办公的员工工作效率较低。然而,并没有太多证据表明,每周让员工在家工作几天会对工作表现产生负面影响。斯坦福大学的Nick Bloom在一家在线旅行社进行的随机试验发现,混合办公(部分时间在家办公)的员工与完全在办公室办公的员工在工作表现上并无差异。)”可推测,该段一方面提到有研究表明远程办公效率低,但又指出每周几天在家办公对绩效无负面影响,还通过试验说明混合办公和完全在办公室办公表现无差异,说明工作模式对工作效率的影响并非泾渭分明。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Mr. Jassy wrote that Amazon’s culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success, and that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, practise, and strengthen it when working together in the office. ( Jassy先生写道,亚马逊的文化一直是其成功的关键因素之一,当团队成员在办公室一起工作时,他们更容易学习、践行并强化这种文化。)”可知,Jassy认为员工在办公室一起工作更容易学习、践行并强化公司文化,而公司文化是成功关键因素之一,所以他对要求员工回办公室工作是支持的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic. (亚马逊并非唯一限制远程办公的公司。另一家专业服务公司毕马威(KPMG)近期开展的一项全球调查发现,五分之四的老板希望员工在三年内恢复每周五天的办公室工作模式。一些科技、金融和专业服务公司的这一转变更为显著。)”,最后一段“For now, investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change. (目前,投资者似乎还在观望。如果Jassy先生是正确的,这种情况可能很快就会改变。)”再结合全文内容可知,文章开头以亚马逊要求员工增加办公室工作天数引发员工抱怨为例,接着阐述了其他公司类似限制远程工作的情况,以及老板要求员工回办公室工作的原因等,整体围绕员工可能要准备回到办公室工作展开。选项D“Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life.
____16____ Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated?
·____17____
Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. ____18____
·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional.
The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. ____19____ If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress.
·Analyze the signal from the situation.
When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. ____20____ In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.
Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration.
A. Look on frustration from a different angle.
B. Regard frustration as an academic challenge.
C. There is a reason for the existence of frustration.
D. Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions.
E. On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first.
F. Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth.
G. In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕挫败感展开,指出挫败感是日常生活中常见的情绪,同时区分了其与愤怒、压力的不同成因,揭示了挫败感能转化为动力的积极一面,并给出了从不同角度看待挫败感、正视障碍的功能性、分析处境传递的信号这三种利用挫败感积极作用的方法。
【16题详解】
下文“Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate.(与通常指向外部原因的愤怒,或是由过多需求引发的压力不同,挫败感产生于事情未按你预期的方式发展时。)”点明了挫败感与愤怒、压力的成因差异,明确了挫败感的产生原因。选项C“挫败感的存在是有原因的”,能够自然引出下文对挫败感产生原因的具体阐释。故选C。
【17题详解】
下文“Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level.(不要把挫败感看作失败,而要将其视为你正面临恰当难度挑战的证明。)”核心强调要转变看待挫败感的视角,用积极的角度看待这种情绪,且本段为文章的第一个方法建议,需要主旨句统领内容。选项A“从不同的角度看待挫败感”,精准概括了下文的核心观点,作为本段主旨句,能够总领全段内容。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough.(例如,随着你表现越来越好,学科测试会变得更难——这是因为你足够优秀。)”以学科测试为例,说明挫败感出现是因为自身能力提升面临了更高难度的挑战,并非是负面的失败信号。选项F“因此,这样的挣扎并非挫折,而是个人成长的证明”,通过“因此”承接上文的举例论证,对例子进行总结升华,进一步印证了要从积极角度看待挫败感的观点,与本段主旨相呼应。故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits.(挫败感是我们追求目标过程中的一种投入,而非副作用。)”点明了挫败感在追求目标过程中的正向属性,下文“If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth.(如果你提前明白这一点,就会预见障碍,这能推动自我成长。)”说明提前认知挫败感的属性会带来的积极影响。选项E“起初,这种情绪通常并不会让你感觉良好”,承接上文对挫败感属性的界定,同时客观说明挫败感本身的情绪感受,为下文提前认知其属性的重要性做铺垫。故选E。
【20题详解】
上文“When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions.(面对挫败感时,试着分析处境所传递的信号。这种初步的分析能帮助你避免被负面情绪压垮。)”点明了面对挫败感时分析处境信号的做法,以及该做法的第一个积极作用——摆脱负面情绪的困扰。下文“In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.(通过这种方式,挫败感不再是障碍,而是个人成长的垫脚石。)”说明该做法最终能实现的积极效果。选项D“此外,你还会将注意力集中在切实可行的解决办法上”,通过“此外”承接上文的第一个积极作用,进一步说明分析处境信号的第二个积极作用,同时为下文最终的积极效果做铺垫。故选D。

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.
After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane’s 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let’s do just one more run,” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not? John turned the boat around and headed back.
Yet, you never knew. They hadn’t even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted, As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜). Backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water.
Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn’t sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let’s get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear.
“Don’t panic. People know we’re out here,” Jane comforted him. “They’ll send help soon.”
Treading(踩) the water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay.
When a strong wind blew through about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm.
If they weren’t rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, starred by only a few glowing house lights.
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.
Looking at the lights in the distance, John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it?”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About three hours later, John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Looking at the lights in the distance John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it?” “Yeah, do it. We will take care of ourselves here.” Jane encouraged. Pushing away from the boat, John focused on alternating swim stroked as his muscles started to burn soon. Strong tides pushed him up the shoreline, and then pulled him in the opposite direction. Many times John doubted whether it was a right choice. What if he failed halfway? But he continued, meters after meters, driven by the image of his family drifting helplessly back at the boat.
About three hours later, John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights. Exhausted, he pulled himself out of water, staggered along and called for help. Hearing John’s desperate cries, people in the cottage rushed out immediately. Realizing what had happened, they swung into action. Soon, a search party jumped into a boat, heading for Jane and the boy. Luckily, they were pulled from the bay in time, miraculously unharmed. Jane knew it was thanks to her brother. “He’s my hero,” she said. “He always has been.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以John一家人出海捕鱼为线索,讲述了他们一家人在结束捕鱼后,小儿子Conrad乞求再跑一次海。因为天气很好,因此John便将船掉头往回走。但在这时,却刮起来大风,大浪将船掀翻,他们一家人都掉进了水里。在经过了很长时间后,他们都没获救。因此John只能努力地游向岸边,在游了大约三个小时候,John终于游到了岸边。他精疲力尽地从水里爬出来,跑着呼救。最后海边屋里的人听到了他的呼救声,及时地将他们一家人从海里救出来。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“看着远处的灯,John低声问妹妹:‘我应该那样做吗’?”可知,本段可以写Jane鼓励John游向岸边,以及John在游往岸边时的艰难和他的担心。
②由第二段首句内容“大约三小时后,John到达了海岸线,看到房子亮着灯。”可知,本段可以写John上岸后的疲惫,以及他拖着疲惫的身子跑向小屋呼救。小屋的人听到他的呼救声,就出发前往海中营救他们一家人。最终,他们被及时地救了出来。
2.续写线索:John决定游到海边→妹妹Jane鼓励他这么做→担心是否成功,并尽力与潮汐抗争,游向海边→成功到达海岸线→爬上岸边,呼救→小屋里的人听到呼救声→出发前往海中间→成功救下他们一家人。
3.词汇积累:
行为类:
鼓励:encourage/inspire/stimulate
集中注意力:focus on/concentrate on
怀疑:doubt/question/be puzzled
情绪类:
精疲力尽的:exhausted/tired out

Environmental groups have claimed success after bringing local wildlife back to Hackney Marshes in East London following the destruction of habitats in recent years.
Weasels (鼬), wood mice and other small mammals (哺乳动物) had been disappearing from around the River Lea until hundreds of volunteers began rebuilding their ecosystems. All he volunteers had been on edge realizing the increasingly urgent problem. Now, all paid off. Ian Phillips, an ecologist as well as one of the volunteers, said, “It finally happened. It was absolutely a comfort and pleasure to see everything fall into place.”
With funding from Hackney Council, the mission was undertaken. Mr. Phillips explained wood mice’s disappearing caused a chain reaction. Weasels left the habitat, and that in turn impacted the population of a type of local bind, “It’s like a classic sort of building block game — if you pull any piece out of the local ecosystem, everything can collapse,” he said. “So three years ago, when we realized we were at a critical point, we took it upon ourselves to do something.”
The departure of wildlife resulted mainly from larger numbers of visitors and houseboaters taking logs from the area to use for firewood. While these gatherings made the headlines, the loud noise and log burning caused great disturbance to local species, driving kingfishers and small birds to abandon their nests. A rise in dog ownership also posed a threat to Hackney Marshes’ mammals. “When you’ve got 3,000 dogs coming through here a day sometimes, there’s going to be death,” Mr. Philips added.
This project shows what can be done with local knowledge and devotion in partnership with the council. The rewilders said they’re working to expand their efforts across the region into Millfields Park and London Fields. They are also actively training council staff to help them recover species in the wider area. Meanwhile, Hackney Council has given them the green light to introduce other species like slow worms into Hackney Marshes.
4. How did Phillips’ feeling change?
A. From doubtful to proud. B. From alarmed to astonished.
C. From helpless to hopeful. D. From pressured to relieved.
5. What do Phillips’ words imply in paragraph 3?
A. Wood mice will disappear completely. B. The ecosystem has been unstable.
C. Every species in the ecosystem is vital. D. Their success relies on a joint effort.
6. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Causes of the disappearance of wildlife. B. Biological diversity in Hackney Marshes.
C. Death threat from dogs to local mammals. D. Conflicts between tourism and conservation.
7. What are the rewilders attempting to do?
A. Gain support of the local council. B. Educate the public on wildlife protection.
C. Restore biodiversity in more areas. D. Monitor the foreign species in the region.
C
The ability to think about what others are thinking, known as “theory of mind”, is a crucial aspect of human interaction and cooperation. Scientists have long been intrigued if animals share this capability. Recent studies suggest that some animals, particularly great apes like chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩), might possess this skill.
A notable experiment conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University’s Ape Initiative provides convincing evidence. The study involved three male bonobos, who were taught to communicate using signs or symbols. These apes are known for their intelligence and cooperative problem-solving skills.
In the experiment, scientist Luke Townrow sat across from a bonobo while another scientist hid a small snack under one of three inverted (使倒置) cups. The bonobo witnessed the hiding process but Mr Townrow was only able to see the cups half the time. When Mr Townrow couldn’t see where the snack was hidden, he would act confused and ask, “Hmm, where is the grape?” before waiting for 10 seconds.
The results showed that when Mr Townrow lacked knowledge of the snack’s location, the bonobos pointed to the correct cup more quickly and frequently. This behaviour indicates that the bonobos were aware of Mr Townrow’s knowledge state and adapted their responses accordingly.
While the study had limitations—such as the small number of bonobos and the possibility that their upbringing around humans influenced their behaviour—the findings are significant. They suggest that bonobos indeed have a theory of mind, allowing them to consider others’ thoughts and adjust their actions based on what they know others do not.
This discovery enhances our understanding of animal cognition (认知) and social behaviour. It implies that the ability to think about others’ thoughts, once thought to be uniquely human, may be more widespread in the animal kingdom than previously believed. Further research with larger groups and wild bonobos could provide deeper insights into the extent and evolution of this cognitive ability in animals.

A. The effect of the experiment. B. The process of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The principle of the experiment.
10. What is the result of the experiment?
A. All animals have cognitive ability.
B. Bonobos can be trained to communicate freely.
C. Bonobos have a theory of mind similar to humans.
D. Scientist Luke Townrow is skilled in confusing bonobos.
11. What may scientists view the experiment as?
A. A morally questionable experiment.
B. A definitive conclusion of the study.
C. A time-consuming and cost-effective trial.
D. A starting point for future investigations.

“My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days.
Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic.
Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff. A survey by Gartner, a research firm, found that a fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office. For some companies, that may be the point. Getting some of them to leave voluntarily would reduce costs, though it also risks losing talented employees.
Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance. Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive. There’s less evidence, though, that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance. A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office.
Bosses may argue that complex tasks, such as designing a user interface, can require a lot of cooperation that may be difficult to perform virtually. Junior employees may also receive less coaching if they interact with others from home. Some bosses argue that this will harm their company’s culture, as new employees don’t absorb it and old ones forget it. Mr. Jassy wrote that Amazon’s culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success, and that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, practise, and strengthen it when working together in the office.
For now, investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change.
12. What did the Amazon worker complain about on Blind?
A. The increase in remote work hours. B. The shift in the company’s leadership.
C. The requirement of the five-day office work. D. The lack of opportunities for advancement.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Office work is always more productive. B. Hybrid work is the best for all companies.
C. Remote work leads to a lack of enthusiasm. D. The effect of work mode on productivity isn’t clear-cut.
14. What’s Jassy’s attitude towards ordering employees to return to the office?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Reserved. D. Indifferent.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Limit Work Days to Promote Productivity
B. Know Corporate Culture via Remote Work
C. Obey the Order and Stop Making Complaints
D. Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work

阅读下面短文,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。
We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life.
____16____ Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated?
·____17____
Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. ____18____
·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional.
The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. ____19____ If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress.
·Analyze the signal from the situation.
When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. ____20____ In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.
Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration.
A Look on frustration from a different angle.
B. Regard frustration as an academic challenge.
C. There is a reason for the existence of frustration.
D. Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions.
E. On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first.
F. Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth.
G. In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整短文.
After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane’s 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let’s do just one more run,” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not? John turned the boat around and headed back.
Yet, you never knew. They hadn’t even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted, As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜). Backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water.
Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn’t sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let’s get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear.
“Don’t panic. People know we’re out here,” Jane comforted him. “They’ll send help soon.”
Treading(踩) the water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay.
When a strong wind blew through about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm.
If they weren’t rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, starred by only a few glowing house lights.
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.
Looking at the lights in the distance, John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it?”

About three hours later, John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights.
