【原文】W: Hello, everybody. Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting, New Books Sharing. Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, a lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco, and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him, but unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
North Cascades National Park
A breathtaking landscape of towering peaks, evergreen forests, glacier-fed rivers, and clear lakes, North Cascades National Park in northwestern Washington State preserves some of the wildest and most charming places in the United States. Far more than just a national park, it’s part of a 684,000-acre complex that also includes two national recreation areas and is managed entirely by the U.S. National Park Service.
Best times to visit North Cascades National Park
Every season has its beauty in the park, but not every part of the park is open year-round. Heavy snow typically closes much of the North Cascades Highway (State Route 20) across the mountains from November or December to April or May. Consult the park’s website for current road conditions before visiting.
Areas at lower elevations (海拔) become accessible as spring advances, but summer and early fall are the best times to visit for snow-free trails and access to the high country. As temperatures become warm and snow melts, wildflowers appear. At lower elevation, flowers typically begin to blossom in early spring.
Where to find the best views in the park
The North Cascades Highway is arguably one of the most beautiful drives in the United States, climbing from near sea level in the west to 1,669 meters. It follows the Skagit River and a string of alpine lakes and rivers. Along the way, Diablo Lake and Ross Lake overlooks provide amazing views, while other stops along the highway offer easy access to some scenic spots.
How accessible is the park?
As a wilderness park, North Cascades National Park contains many remote locations with often challenging terrain (地形). However, park visitor and information centers are fully accessible. There’s a flat boardwalk and several low-grade, smooth-surfaced trails near the visitor center, as well as the 1/3-mile Happy Creek Forest Walk near milepost 135.
21. What makes North Cascades National Park well known?
A. Its rich wildlife species. B. Its spacious recreation areas.
C. Its long scenic highway. D. Its dramatic mountain scenery.
22. When is the best time to visit North Cascades National Park?
A. Early spring. B. Early autumn. C. Late autumn. D. Midwinter.
23. What do we know about the visitor center?
A. It is easily accessible. B. It closes in winter.
C. It sits by a highway. D. It lies in remote areas.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A
【解析】

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A breathtaking landscape of towering peaks, evergreen forests, glacier-fed rivers, and clear lakes, North Cascades National Park in northwestern Washington State preserves some of the wildest and most charming places in the United States.(北喀斯喀特国家公园位于华盛顿州西北部,拥有令人叹为观止的景观,包括高耸的山峰、常绿森林、冰川补给的河流和清澈的湖泊,它保留了美国一些最狂野、最迷人的地方)”可知,北喀斯喀特国家公园以其壮观的山景而闻名。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Best times to visit North Cascades National Park部分中“summer and early fall are the best times to visit for snow-free trails and access to the high country.(夏季和初秋是游览的最佳时间,因为此时无雪,可以进入高原地区)”可知,去北喀斯喀特国家公园游览的最佳时间是初秋。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, park visitor and information centers are fully accessible. There’s a flat boardwalk and several low-grade, smooth-surfaced trails near the visitor center(不过,公园游客中心与信息中心均配备无障碍设施。游客中心附近设有平坦的木板步道和数条坡度平缓、路面平整的小径)”可知,游客中心很容易到达。故选A。
B
I spent many of these years wishing I were a brain in a vat (培养皿): brains in vats don’t get let down by their bodies. On account of the pains caused by Lyme disease and endometriosis, I’d find myself seeking out distraction on a screen, trying to forget I had a body at all.
One day, one of those distractions changed my life for good. I came across a video for Justin Peck’s ballet Year of the Rabbit. From that moment on, I fell in love with ballet. I longed to try dancing myself. Luckily for me, there was a dance studio right down the street from my apartment. On a day when I felt well enough, I gathered my courage and enrolled in a class. Sue, the studio owner and primary instructor, loved teaching the basics of ballet. She took extra care to point out when students did something well, and took equal joy in the unique ways they made mistakes.
The more time I spent in Sue’s studio, the more I began to relate to my body in a new way. Learning to dance was a transformation of mind as much of body. After frustrating me for so long, my body even began to be a source of accomplishment and pride. It made me realize that even my sick body had much more potential than I’d realized.
Being human means being vulnerable — getting sick and hurt, and getting older too. But those same bodies that cause us grief also make it possible to live full and meaningful lives. Ballet continually reminds me that having a body — and being human — is beautiful, even when it’s hard. And it’s much more fun than being a brain in a vat.
24. Why did the author wish to be “a brain in a vat” at the beginning?
A. To escape her responsibilities.
B. To free herself from a sick body.
C. To focus entirely on intellectual life.
D. To abandon herself to virtual pleasure.
25. Which can best describe Sue’s teaching style?
A. Attentive and supportive. B. Passionate but impatient.
C. Professional and traditional. D. Demanding but encouraging.
26. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Ordinary. B. Sensitive. C. Delicate. D. Humble.
27. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Discovering fun in a ballet studio. B. Finding strength in my weak body.
C. Accepting myself by fighting illness. D. Embracing my body through ballet.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因病痛厌恶身体,后通过芭蕾重新认识、接纳自己的身体,感悟到身为人类拥有身体的美好。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I spent many of these years wishing I were a brain in a vat (培养皿): brains in vats don’t get let down by their bodies. On account of the pains caused by Lyme disease and endometriosis, I’d find myself seeking out distraction on a screen, trying to forget I had a body at all.( 在那些年里,我常常希望自己能变成一个“培养皿里的大脑”:大脑不会因身体的不适而受到影响。由于患有莱姆病和子宫内膜异位症,我常常会通过屏幕寻求消遣,试图忘却自己拥有身体这一事实。)”可知,作者因莱姆病和子宫内膜异位症饱受身体疼痛折磨,希望自己只是培养皿里的大脑,是为了摆脱病痛的身体。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sue, the studio owner and primary instructor, loved teaching the basics of ballet. She took extra care to point out when students did something well, and took equal joy in the unique ways they made mistakes.( 工作室的老板兼主要教练苏热爱教授芭蕾舞的基础知识。她会特别留意学生表现好的地方,并同样为他们独特的犯错方式而感到欣喜。)”可知,文中提到苏格外用心指出学生的优点,也乐于看待学生犯错的独特方式,说明她细心且善于鼓励支持学生。故选A项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“Being human means being … — getting sick and hurt, and getting older too. (作为人类就意味着会……——会生病、会受伤,也会逐渐衰老。)”可知,划线词后解释“会生病、受伤、变老”,可推知vulnerable意为“脆弱的”,与C选项delicate“脆弱的,易受伤的”含义相近。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“But those same bodies that cause us grief also make it possible to live full and meaningful lives. Ballet continually reminds me that having a body — and being human — is beautiful, even when it’s hard. And it’s much more fun than being a brain in a vat.( 但正是这些让我们感到痛苦的身体,却也让我们能够过上充实而有意义的生活。芭蕾舞一直让我明白,拥有身体——作为人类——本身就是一种美好,即便过程艰难。而且这比把自己困在一个无生命的容器里要有趣得多。)”可知,文章讲述作者因病痛厌恶身体,后通过芭蕾重新认识、接纳自己的身体,感悟到身为人类拥有身体的美好,D 项“通过芭蕾拥抱自己的身体”最贴合主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。
C
In the crystal-clear waters near Talamone, Italy, an extraordinary sight awaits beneath the Mediterranean Sea’s surface. Mermaids, towering giants and enormous sculptural eyes gaze upward from the ocean floor, creating an otherworldly underwater gallery that serves a crucial environmental purpose. This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems.
The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood.
The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. These student-crafted pieces not only contribute to the anti-fishing barrier system but also provide alternative habitats for marine creatures. By offering the marine species a safe shelter within the sculptural installations, the project helps reduce their vulnerability to illegal fishing practices while supporting natural population recovery.
The fisherman behind the initiative recognized that traditional regulatory approaches alone were not enough to fulfill the environmental commitment. And the sculptures themselves have captured international attention while serving practical conservation purposes. Each piece sunk to the Mediterranean floor contributes to a growing underwater museum that tells the story of local efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.
As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems.
28. What is the purpose of the underwater sculptures?
A. To protect underwater ecosystems. B. To promote local fishing industry.
C. To raise environmental awareness. D. To create an attractive artistic gallery.
29. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Carefully manage. B. Gradually relocate.
C. Significantly reduce. D. Successfully protect.
30. What can we learn about the project in paragraph 3?
A. The project calls for more support from students and artists.
B. The project has expanded into a community-based initiative.
C. The sculptures have managed to stop practices of illegal fishing.
D. The sculptures show superior artistic skills of the young participants.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Art in the depths: A New Fashion in Italy
B. Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation
C. From Gallery to Fishery: The Power of Students
D. Guarding the Deep: Traditional Ways of Protection
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了意大利一位渔民通过在地中海海底放置雕塑,将艺术与环保相结合,阻挡破坏性渔网、保护海洋生态系统的创新举措。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段“This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems. (这一独特的举措代表了一位创新渔民保护重要渔场免受威胁海洋生态系统的商业捕鱼网灾难性影响的坚定努力。)”以及第二段“The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. (水下雕塑花园遵循一个简单而有效的原则,即战略性地放置艺术装置与混凝土块一起,从物理上阻挡和破坏破坏海洋生物的渔网。)”可知,水下雕塑的目的是保护水下生态系统。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood. (这些巨大的渔网被商船拖过海底,破坏了脆弱的水下栖息地,并使当地渔业社区赖以生存的鱼类数量____。)”可知,渔网对鱼类数量造成的影响是负面的,结合选项可知,应该是“使鱼类数量减少”,所以deplete意思是“显著减少”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. (该项目已经超越了最初的保护目标,发展成为一项涉及当地教育机构和年轻艺术家的合作努力。附近格罗塞托一所高中的学生积极参与了这项倡议,创作了具有两种用途的专门雕塑作品。)”可知,该项目已经发展成为一个社区性的倡议,涉及到当地的教育机构和年轻艺术家。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems. (随着雕塑花园的不断扩大,它成为艺术与环境保护如何共同努力,为海洋生态系统带来持久积极变化的一个鼓舞人心的例子。)”可知,文章主要讲述了水下雕塑花园如何将艺术与海洋保护相结合,所以B项“Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation (塑造盾牌:艺术与保护相遇)”是最佳标题。故选B项。
D
Penguins are some of the world’s most familiar and beloved birds, but southern rockhoppers are the tough guys of the penguin world. Their fondness for colonies (聚居地) high over thousands of feet separates them from the other penguin species that prefer soft, level ground in the Falklands.
One evening, I struggle to keep up with some scientists as they march through thick grass in the Falklands. They are looking for rockhoppers that have pencil-case-size black boxes taped to their backs and collecting those boxes, which contain GPS data loggers (记录仪). Some also track diving and heart-rate information. Later, in the scientists’ field station, we gather around a computer screen, analyzing the collected data, which will give us a critical read on ocean conditions, revealed by the birds’ responses.
With a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, the species can withstand the occasional disaster and rebuild their population over time. But as colonies damaged by human activities struggle to recover, a string of disasters has knocked them down. Despite their bravery, rockhoppers are highly sensitive. Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers.
However, moving to cooler water isn’t an option. The constant winds there would push the little penguins into the icy coasts of Antarctica, and there’s no land where they could build new colonies. These scientists are trying to re-establish the native grass. “It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.”
Thinking of the young rockhopper leaping over a fearful gap, I ask the scientists: Can rockhoppers’ courage be an advantage for their survival? Quillfeldt feels it may. Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude.
32. What is the function of the black boxes on the rockhoppers’ backs?
A. To locate GPS data loggers. B. To distinguish birds’ responses.
C. To analyze the survival rate. D. To record data about ocean conditions.
33. What may bring a challenge to rockhoppers’ population?
A. Their lengthy lifespan. B. Their fondness for high rocks.
C. Their thick waterproof feathers. D. Their sensitivity to the climate change.
34. What could be a practical way to help rockhoppers according to paragraph 4?
A. Establish new colonies. B. Improve the breeding sites.
C. Stop the environmental changes. D. Move to the coasts of Antarctica.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward rockhoppers’ future?
A. Hopeful. B. Reserved. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了南跳岩企鹅的生存现状与保护
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some also track diving and heart-rate information. Later, in the scientists’ field station, we gather around a computer screen, analyzing the collected data, which will give us a critical read on ocean conditions, revealed by the birds’ responses.(还有一些则会追踪潜水和心率数据。随后,在科学家们的野外工作站里,我们围坐在电脑屏幕前,分析收集到的数据,这些数据将为我们提供有关海洋状况的重要信息,而这些信息是通过鸟类的反应反映出来的)”可知,黑色盒子的功能是为了记录海洋状况的数据,故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite their bravery, rockhoppers are highly sensitive. Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers.(尽管它们很勇敢,但跳岩企鹅非常敏感。这些科学家的研究表明,即使海温只是小幅上升,也会对鸟类的食物供应产生影响,并降低雏鸟和成年鸟的存活率。此外,气候变化导致的异常强风暴正在夺走尚未长出厚实防水羽毛的雏鸟的生命)”可知,跳岩企鹅对环境变化非常敏感:微小的海水升温就会影响它们的食物供应、降低存活率,反常的极端风暴也会杀死幼雏,这是它们种群面临的挑战,故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.”(“或许无法阻止席卷它们海洋栖息地的变化,”海洋鸟类生态学家Quillfeldt说道,“但在陆地上,在繁殖地帮助它们,这是我们实际上能够做到的事情。”)”可知,可做的实际行动是改善企鹅的繁殖地点,故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude.(好奇心和勇气能够激励海鸟寻找适应的方法。别忘了它们还有态度)”可知,跳岩企鹅的勇气和好奇心可以鼓励它们找到适应环境的方法,故作者对它们的未来是充满希望的,故选A。

根据前文“Pets easily feel anxiety when they are left home alone for too long, but people’s busy lifestyles often lead to shorter time at home.(宠物独自在家太久很容易感到焦虑,但人们忙碌的生活方式往往导致在家时间更短)”可知,宠物独自在家太久会感到焦虑,而主人又很忙,故本句与上文构成因果关系,指出这给宠物的幸福带来了很多担忧,所以选项D“这给宠物的幸福生活带来了诸多困扰”符合语境。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“If there are other cats at home, they will create games, enjoying each other’s company.( 如果家里有其他猫,它们会创造游戏,享受彼此的陪伴)”可知,如果家里有其他猫,它们会一起玩,后文提到“Leaving the TV or radio on can help, and while you choose their favorite programme, you can’t go far wrong with classical music.(打开电视或收音机有帮助,当你选择它们最喜欢的节目时,古典音乐不会错)”可知,如果猫独自在家,可以打开电视或收音机,也就是说如果猫独自在家就需要其他刺激,所以选项E“但如果它们独自一人的话,它们就需要其他形式的刺激”符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据后文“They will keep your cats physically and mentally busy, which will lessen the separation anxiety. Some of the toys are also practical for your home, such as scratching posts (猫抓板) to prevent the furniture from being scratched.(它们会让您的猫咪在身体和精神上都保持忙碌状态,从而减轻它们的分离焦虑情绪。其中一些玩具还非常适合在家中使用,比如猫抓板,可以防止家具被划伤)”可知,本段主要讲的是猫玩具可以减轻猫的分离焦虑,本句总起后文,指出玩具的作用。所以选项A“许多猫咪玩具也有一定的帮助作用”符合语境。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Dogs also dislike being left alone and unluckily they can’t tell whether it’s been ten minutes or ten hours, and the displeasure felt is very similar.(狗也不喜欢被单独留下,不幸的是,它们无法分辨是十分钟还是十小时,而且它们感受到的不快非常相似)”可知,狗也不喜欢被单独留下,结合后文“Background noise from the TV or radio can also help them feel less alone(电视或收音机的背景噪音也能让它们感觉不那么孤单)”可知,本段主要讲的是如何缓解狗独自在家时的分离焦虑,故本句与上文构成转折,指出至少可以缓解这种负面情绪,所以选项C“但你至少可以尽力缓解它们的不良情绪”符合语境。故选C。
【40题详解】
根据上文“You can also gradually lengthen the distance and time of your separation until your dogs can be left alone for 20 minutes without showing their usual symptoms of sadness and stress.(你也可以逐渐延长分离的距离和时间,直到你的狗可以独自呆20分钟而不表现出通常的悲伤和压力症状)”可知,狗可以逐渐适应独自在家,结合后文“In this way, they can disconnect your absence with negativity.(这样,它们就不会把你的缺席与消极情绪联系起来)”可知,狗可以逐渐适应独自在家,本句说明这一方法的好处:不会把你的缺席与消极情绪联系起来,所以选项F“通过这种方式,他们就能将你的缺席与负面情绪区分开来”符合语境。故选F。

Online Activities on Holidays
It’s noticeable that many students prefer spending most of their holiday time staying indoors and surfing the Internet, like taking online courses, scrolling through videos and browsing social media.
Admittedly, this enables them to access abundant information conveniently and relax after heavy study. However, it also leads to insufficient physical exercise, which harms health, and reduces face-to-face social interaction.
Personally, we should balance online time with outdoor activities like hiking or playing ball games. Besides, spending more time communicating with family and friends in person is also advisable.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In a coastal village named Seaford, lived a brave young woman named Agatha, who was known for her adventurous nature. From the time she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand under her feet and the cool sea spray on her face. She had a strong will and a kind heart. Agatha loved the ocean deeply and spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house.
One sunny morning, while walking along the shore, Agatha noticed something unusual. A group of seagulls were circling above the crashing waves and making strange cries. Concerned for their well-being, she followed them, her instinct (本能) guiding her toward danger.
As she approached a high cliff (悬崖), Agatha stopped in shock. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the rough waves, lay a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but the net held it tightly. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail moved helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its bitter cries for assistance echoed through the air.
A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination. Realizing that the time was tight, Agatha knew she had to act immediately to free this poor creature from its difficult position before it became too tired or was swept away by the rising tide.
注意:

Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1
Paragraph 1: Heart racing, Agatha ran back to the village to get help. Her bare feet stepped quickly on the soft sand, and the salty wind brushed her cheeks as she shouted for villagers at the top of her lungs. Several fishermen and young people who were mending nets by the shore immediately noticed her anxious look and followed her without hesitation. They carried thick ropes, sharp knives and simple rescue tools, rushing to the beach where the poor dolphin was trapped. Working together carefully, they cut the messy fishing net bit by bit, afraid of hurting the dolphin’s smooth skin. The dolphin seemed to feel their kindness, staying still and letting out soft, grateful sounds from its mouth.
Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. It swam slowly around Agatha and the villagers, its fin waving lightly as if saying thank you. Agatha reached out her hand and touched the dolphin’s warm body softly, with tears of joy shining in her eyes. After circling three times, the dolphin leaped high out of the water, drawing a beautiful arc in the golden sunset, then dived into the blue sea and disappeared gradually. Watching the dolphin swim freely again, Agatha smiled widely, knowing that this warm rescue would be the most unforgettable memory in her whole life because it served as a reminder that the true joy in life came from selflessly giving a hand to those in need.
Version 2
Paragraph 1: Heart racing, Agatha ran back to the village to get help. With every fiber of her body trembling with anxiety, she sprinted along the shore, her voice piercing / ripping the quiet seaside air as she cried out for assistance. Upon catching sight of her desperate expression, several experienced fishermen and warm-hearted villagers dropped whatever they were doing and rushed to follow her without a second thought. Armed with sharp knives and sturdy ropes, they approached the trapped dolphin cautiously, cutting the tangled fishing net with the utmost care to avoid injuring its delicate skin. The intelligent creature, sensing their goodwill, remained calm and let out soft, reassuring chirps throughout the rescue.
Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. It lingered beside Agatha and the villagers, gliding back and forth in a slow circle as if expressing its sincere gratitude. Agatha stretched out her hand, gently stroking its smooth and warm back, her eyes glistening with tears of relief and joy. Then, with a powerful flick of its tail, it leaped spectacularly into the air, carving a dazzling arc against the golden sunset before diving gracefully into the vast ocean. Watching the dolphin vanish into the blue waves, Agatha’s heart swelled with warmth, cherishing this touching moment as the most precious memory of her life.

North Cascades National Park
A breathtaking landscape of towering peaks, evergreen forests, glacier-fed rivers, and clear lakes, North Cascades National Park in northwestern Washington State preserves some of the wildest and most charming places in the United States. Far more than just a national park, it’s part of a 684,000-acre complex that also includes two national recreation areas and is managed entirely by the U.S. National Park Service.
Best times to visit North Cascades National Park
Every season has its beauty in the park, but not every part of the park is open year-round. Heavy snow typically closes much of the North Cascades Highway (State Route 20) across the mountains from November or December to April or May. Consult the park’s website for current road conditions before visiting.
Areas at lower elevations (海拔) become accessible as spring advances, but summer and early fall are the best times to visit for snow-free trails and access to the high country. As temperatures become warm and snow melts, wildflowers appear. At lower elevation, flowers typically begin to blossom in early spring.
Where to find the best views in the park
The North Cascades Highway is arguably one of the most beautiful drives in the United States, climbing from near sea level in the west to 1,669 meters. It follows the Skagit River and a string of alpine lakes and rivers. Along the way, Diablo Lake and Ross Lake overlooks provide amazing views, while other stops along the highway offer easy access to some scenic spots.
How accessible is the park?
As a wilderness park, North Cascades National Park contains many remote locations with often challenging terrain (地形). However, park visitor and information centers are fully accessible. There’s a flat boardwalk and several low-grade, smooth-surfaced trails near the visitor center, as well as the 1/3-mile Happy Creek Forest Walk near milepost 135.
21. What makes North Cascades National Park well known?
A. Its rich wildlife species. B. Its spacious recreation areas.
C. Its long scenic highway. D. Its dramatic mountain scenery.
22. When is the best time to visit North Cascades National Park?
A. Early spring. B. Early autumn. C. Late autumn. D. Midwinter.
23. What do we know about the visitor center?
A. It is easily accessible. B. It closes in winter.
C. It sits by a highway. D. It lies in remote areas.

I spent many of these years wishing I were a brain in a vat (培养皿): brains in vats don’t get let down by their bodies. On account of the pains caused by Lyme disease and endometriosis, I’d find myself seeking out distraction on a screen, trying to forget I had a body at all.
One day, one of those distractions changed my life for good. I came across a video for Justin Peck’s ballet Year of the Rabbit. From that moment on, I fell in love with ballet. I longed to try dancing myself. Luckily for me, there was a dance studio right down the street from my apartment. On a day when I felt well enough, I gathered my courage and enrolled in a class. Sue, the studio owner and primary instructor, loved teaching the basics of ballet. She took extra care to point out when students did something well, and took equal joy in the unique ways they made mistakes.
The more time I spent in Sue’s studio, the more I began to relate to my body in a new way. Learning to dance was a transformation of mind as much of body. After frustrating me for so long, my body even began to be a source of accomplishment and pride. It made me realize that even my sick body had much more potential than I’d realized.
Being human means being vulnerable — getting sick and hurt, and getting older too. But those same bodies that cause us grief also make it possible to live full and meaningful lives. Ballet continually reminds me that having a body — and being human — is beautiful, even when it’s hard. And it’s much more fun than being a brain in a vat.
24. Why did the author wish to be “a brain in a vat” at the beginning?
A. To escape her responsibilities.
B. To free herself from a sick body.
C. To focus entirely on intellectual life.
D. To abandon herself to virtual pleasure.
25. Which can best describe Sue’s teaching style?
A. Attentive and supportive. B. Passionate but impatient.
C. Professional and traditional. D. Demanding but encouraging.
26. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Ordinary. B. Sensitive. C. Delicate. D. Humble.
27. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Discovering fun in a ballet studio. B. Finding strength in my weak body.
C. Accepting myself by fighting illness. D. Embracing my body through ballet.
C
In the crystal-clear waters near Talamone, Italy, an extraordinary sight awaits beneath the Mediterranean Sea’s surface. Mermaids, towering giants and enormous sculptural eyes gaze upward from the ocean floor, creating an otherworldly underwater gallery that serves a crucial environmental purpose. This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems.
The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood.
The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. These student-crafted pieces not only contribute to the anti-fishing barrier system but also provide alternative habitats for marine creatures. By offering the marine species a safe shelter within the sculptural installations, the project helps reduce their vulnerability to illegal fishing practices while supporting natural population recovery.
The fisherman behind the initiative recognized that traditional regulatory approaches alone were not enough to fulfill the environmental commitment. And the sculptures themselves have captured international attention while serving practical conservation purposes. Each piece sunk to the Mediterranean floor contributes to a growing underwater museum that tells the story of local efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.
As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems.
28. What is the purpose of the underwater sculptures?
A. To protect underwater ecosystems. B. To promote local fishing industry.
C. To raise environmental awareness. D. To create an attractive artistic gallery.
29. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Carefully manage. B. Gradually relocate.
C. Significantly reduce. D. Successfully protect.
30. What can we learn about the project in paragraph 3?
A. The project calls for more support from students and artists.
B. The project has expanded into a community-based initiative.
C. The sculptures have managed to stop practices of illegal fishing.
D. The sculptures show superior artistic skills of the young participants.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Art in the depths: A New Fashion in Italy
B. Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation
C. From Gallery to Fishery: The Power of Students
D. Guarding the Deep: Traditional Ways of Protection
D
Penguins are some of the world’s most familiar and beloved birds, but southern rockhoppers are the tough guys of the penguin world. Their fondness for colonies (聚居地) high over thousands of feet separates them from the other penguin species that prefer soft, level ground in the Falklands.
One evening, I struggle to keep up with some scientists as they march through thick grass in the Falklands. They are looking for rockhoppers that have pencil-case-size black boxes taped to their backs and collecting those boxes, which contain GPS data loggers (记录仪). Some also track diving and heart-rate information. Later, in the scientists’ field station, we gather around a computer screen, analyzing the collected data, which will give us a critical read on ocean conditions, revealed by the birds’ responses.
With a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, the species can withstand the occasional disaster and rebuild their population over time. But as colonies damaged by human activities struggle to recover, a string of disasters has knocked them down. Despite their bravery, rockhoppers are highly sensitive. Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers.
However, moving to cooler water isn’t an option. The constant winds there would push the little penguins into the icy coasts of Antarctica, and there’s no land where they could build new colonies. These scientists are trying to re-establish the native grass. “It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.”
Thinking of the young rockhopper leaping over a fearful gap, I ask the scientists: Can rockhoppers’ courage be an advantage for their survival? Quillfeldt feels it may. Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude.
32. What is the function of the black boxes on the rockhoppers’ backs?
A. To locate GPS data loggers. B. To distinguish birds’ responses.
C. To analyze the survival rate. D. To record data about ocean conditions.
33. What may bring a challenge to rockhoppers’ population?
A. Their lengthy lifespan. B. Their fondness for high rocks.
C. Their thick waterproof feathers. D. Their sensitivity to the climate change.
34. What could be a practical way to help rockhoppers according to paragraph 4?
A Establish new colonies. B. Improve the breeding sites.
C. Stop the environmental changes. D. Move to the coasts of Antarctica.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward rockhoppers’ future?
A. Hopeful. B. Reserved. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful.

In a coastal village named Seaford, lived a brave young woman named Agatha, who was known for her adventurous nature. From the time she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand under her feet and the cool sea spray on her face. She had a strong will and a kind heart. Agatha loved the ocean deeply and spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house.
One sunny morning, while walking along the shore, Agatha noticed something unusual. A group of seagulls were circling above the crashing waves and making strange cries. Concerned for their well-being, she followed them, her instinct (本能) guiding her toward danger.
As she approached a high cliff (悬崖), Agatha stopped in shock. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the rough waves, lay a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but the net held it tightly. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail moved helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its bitter cries for assistance echoed through the air.
A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination. Realizing that the time was tight, Agatha knew she had to act immediately to free this poor creature from its difficult position before it became too tired or was swept away by the rising tide.
