Last spring, Jeanna felt awkward entering the classroom and taking off her coat. Having gained significant weight, she saw herself as “really obese” and classmates’ stares only deepened her self-consciousness.
At 14, during puberty (青春期), her weight climbed from 39 kg to 65 kg, making her overweight. She avoided tight clothes, opting for loose sweaters to hide her figure, which made her feel slightly more comfortable in her own skin. “By fifth-grade summer vacation, her weight gain was obvious,” her mother said. She tried to hide in the background whenever a camera appeared during family gatherings she once enjoyed.
Jeanna’s physical activity had noticeably declined. Climbing just three flights of stairs would wind her. Her personality also changed: the once animated girl became a diffident homebody, skipping after-school activities to stay in her room, often mindlessly eating chips and cookies while watching TV.
Worried, her family took her to the Children’s Hospital. “Many teens like Jeanna seek help here. We assess each case and refer high-risk patients to our obesity clinic,” said a doctor in the hospital. The clinic employs modern tools to develop plans tailored to each teenager’s needs. Jeanna’s case wasn’t complex. After reviewing her habits, the doctor made lifestyle interventions that focused on improving her dietary structure, controlling portion sizes and increasing physical activity.
Through continuous efforts, Jeanna’s weight dropped to 59kg by October, and has since stabilized at around 58 kg. Now she has become more confident. “The doctor told me adolescent obesity results from puberty’s hormonal (激素的) changes, which increase appetite, and that academic pressure, lack of exercise, and poor sleep play roles too,” Jeanna shared. “She believes effective weight management for teens requires a joint effort from parents, schools and healthcare professionals, as we are both physically and emotionally vulnerable. I couldn’t agree with her more.”
24. What can we learn about Jeanna’s hiding in photos?
A. She had a privacy preference. B. She disliked frequent gatherings.
C. She feared lifestyle judgment. D. She suffered body image anxiety.
25. What does the underlined word “diffident” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Self-centered. B. Shy. C. Bad-tempered. D. Strange.
26. Why did the doctor recommend lifestyle interventions for Jeanna?
A. Her obesity problem was not complex. B. She refused to take medicine for obesity.
C. Medical treatment had no effect on her. D. The clinic only advised lifestyle changes.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To reveal the psychological effects of obesity. B. To discuss puberty-related weight challenges.
C. To appeal for a greater awareness of teen obesity. D. To praise the doctor’s expertise in teen obesity.
C
People will recycle if they can make money from doing so. In places where cash is offered for cans and bottles, metal and glass recycling has been a great success. Sadly, the measures have been weaker for recycling plastic.
But now, several technologies have matured that allow people to recycle waste plastic directly by 3D-printing it into valuable products, at a part of their normal cost. People are using their own recycled plastic to make decorations and gifts, home and garden products, toys, sporting goods and gadgets from millions of free designs. This approach is called distributed recycling and additive manufacturing (增材制造), or DRAM for short.
The DRAM method starts with plastic waste — everything from used packaging to broken products. The first step is to sort and wash the plastic with soap and water or even run it through the dishwasher. Next, the plastic needs to be ground into particles (颗粒). You can transform the particles into 3D printer filaments (细丝) using a recyclebot, a device that turns ground plastic into the spaghetti-like filaments used by most low-cost 3D printers. Filaments made by a 3D-printable recyclebot just cost less than a nickel (五分硬币) per pound compared to commercial filaments, which cost about $10 per pound.
Small companies can purchase industrial printers like the Gigabot X and make returns by printing large sporting goods and sports equipment like snowshoes, skateboard decks and so on from local waste. Large companies that make plastic products already recycle their own waste. Now, with DRAM, households can too. If many people start recycling their own plastic, it will help prevent the negative impact that plastic is having on the environment. In this way DRAM may provide a path to the circular economy, but it will not be able to handle the plastic problem until the number of users grows.
28. Which of the following can be considered DRAM?
A. Making full use of daily necessities.
B. Offering cash for recycling cans and bottles.
C. Applying 3D printing to additive manufacturing.
D. Using recycled plastic to make various products.
29. What is the advantage of filaments made by a 3D-printable recyclebot?
A. They are cheap. B. They are very clean.
C. They are convenient. D. They are of high quality.
30. What does the author think of the new approach to the plastic problem?
A. It’s expected to be heavily promoted. B. It still has a long way to go.
C. It’ll be mostly accessible to households. D. It requires more investment.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. DRAM: turn plastic waste into profit B. Plastic: a source of all resources
C. Recycling: some plastic green ideas D. 3D printing: the key to conservation
D
Lionfish have been migrating (迁徙) south for years. They were first caught in the Gulf of Mexico, likely released from the aquarium trade, in 1985, and quickly expanded into the US East Coast and the Caribbean. They reached South American coastlines around 2010.
But the species stopped around Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. For 10 years, freshwater flowing from the Amazon River into the Atlantic and a gathering of currents acted as geographic (地理的) barriers, stopping the fish from continuing south. But around 2020, lionfish began slip-ping under the barrier and heading south.
Now, dozens of lionfish have been spotted along 150 miles of Brazil’s coastline, according to a new study in Frontiers in Marine Science. Between March and May, when the water was clear enough to track the fish, researchers and fishers documented 72 individuals there, which suggests they have likely established new, successful populations.
Since March 2022, lionfish already managed to cover 700 kilometers of coastline, says Marcelo Soares, a marine ecologist and lead author of the new study. He also reported the number of individuals is now above 300.
For many scientists, the question wasn’t whether the fish species would continue moving south, but when. “We knew once they made it through the barrier at the Amazon, they would spread like fire,” says Osmar Luiz, an aquatic ecologist at Australia’s Charles Darwin University.
While efforts to fully get rid of lionfish may be useless, efforts to reduce their populations help limit damage to native species. Luiz says that the next important step is to track lionfish as they move and try to prevent them from establishing new populations. For the native species of Brazil, this fight is a matter of survival, Luiz says.
32. Why did lionfish appear in South American coastlines?
A. They were sent there by currents.
B. They were brought there by Americans.
C. The aquarium staff released them in South American coastlines.
D. They migrated there after being spotted in the Gulf of Mexico.
33. What once stopped lionfish from moving south?
A. Natural barriers. B. Sea pollution. C. Fishing activities. D. The aquarium trade.
34. What are scientists concerned about?
A. It’s very difficult to track them. B. Whether lionfish will continue moving.
C. It’s impossible to reduce their populations. D. The spread of lionfish will destroy local species.
35. In which section of a newspaper can we probably find this text?
A. Health. B. Nature. C. Technology. D. Business.

67. 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。
Emma was a high school student who was passionate about environmental protection. One sunny Saturday, she and her best friend, Lily, decided to go to the local park for a volunteer clean-up. They had heard that the park, once a beautiful natural spot, had been filled with litter due to the large number of visitors during the recent holidays.
When they arrived at the park, they were shocked by what they saw. The grass was covered with plastic bottles, food wrappers, and cigarette butts. The lake was filled with floating trash, making it look like a garbage dump. Emma and Lily quickly put on their gloves and took out the trash bags they had brought. They started by picking up the litter on the grass, putting each piece into the bag carefully.
As they were working, they noticed a group of kids playing nearby. Some of the kids were throwing empty snack bags on the ground instead of using the trash cans. Emma walked over to them with a friendly smile, “Hey, guys! Do you know that littering is bad for the environment? The park will be much prettier if we all keep it clean.” One of the boys looked at her and said, “But it’s just a small piece of trash. It won’t make a difference.”
Just then, a strong wind blew, and a plastic bag flew into the lake. Emma pointed to it and said, “See, that small piece of trash can end up in the water and harm the fish and other animals that live there.” The kids seemed to think about what she said.
Suddenly, a park ranger rushed towards them. He looked worried and said, “There’s been an accident! A large barrel of chemical waste has leaked near the park’s water source. We need to stop it from polluting the whole water system!”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Emma and Lily immediately decided to help.

Last spring, Jeanna felt awkward entering the classroom and taking off her coat. Having gained significant weight, she saw herself as “really obese” and classmates’ stares only deepened her self-consciousness.
At 14, during puberty (青春期), her weight climbed from 39 kg to 65 kg, making her overweight. She avoided tight clothes, opting for loose sweaters to hide her figure, which made her feel slightly more comfortable in her own skin. “By fifth-grade summer vacation, her weight gain was obvious,” her mother said. She tried to hide in the background whenever a camera appeared during family gatherings she once enjoyed.
Jeanna’s physical activity had noticeably declined. Climbing just three flights of stairs would wind her. Her personality also changed: the once animated girl became a diffident homebody, skipping after-school activities to stay in her room, often mindlessly eating chips and cookies while watching TV.
Worried, her family took her to the Children’s Hospital. “Many teens like Jeanna seek help here. We assess each case and refer high-risk patients to our obesity clinic,” said a doctor in the hospital. The clinic employs modern tools to develop plans tailored to each teenager’s needs. Jeanna’s case wasn’t complex. After reviewing her habits, the doctor made lifestyle interventions that focused on improving her dietary structure, controlling portion sizes and increasing physical activity.
Through continuous efforts, Jeanna’s weight dropped to 59kg by October, and has since stabilized at around 58 kg. Now she has become more confident. “The doctor told me adolescent obesity results from puberty’s hormonal (激素的) changes, which increase appetite, and that academic pressure, lack of exercise, and poor sleep play roles too,” Jeanna shared. “She believes effective weight management for teens requires a joint effort from parents, schools and healthcare professionals, as we are both physically and emotionally vulnerable. I couldn’t agree with her more.”
24. What can we learn about Jeanna’s hiding in photos?
A. She had a privacy preference. B. She disliked frequent gatherings.
C. She feared lifestyle judgment. D. She suffered body image anxiety.
25. What does the underlined word “diffident” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Self-centered. B. Shy. C. Bad-tempered. D. Strange.
26. Why did the doctor recommend lifestyle interventions for Jeanna?
A. Her obesity problem was not complex. B. She refused to take medicine for obesity.
C. Medical treatment had no effect on her. D. The clinic only advised lifestyle changes.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To reveal the psychological effects of obesity. B. To discuss puberty-related weight challenges.
C. To appeal for a greater awareness of teen obesity. D. To praise the doctor’s expertise in teen obesity.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了青春期少女Jeanna因过度肥胖而自卑,在医生指导下通过调整生活方式改善了身体状况。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Having gained significant weight, she saw herself as ‘really obese’ and classmates’ stares only deepened her self-consciousness. (由于体重显著增加,她认为自己“真的很胖”,同学们的注视只会加深她的自卑感。)”以及第二段中“She tried to hide in the background whenever a camera appeared during family gatherings she once enjoyed. (每当在她曾经喜欢的家庭聚会中出现相机时,她都试图躲在背景里。)”可知,Jeanna在拍照时往后躲的行为体现了身体形象焦虑。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Her personality also changed: the once animated girl became a diffident homebody, skipping after-school activities to stay in her room, often mindlessly eating chips and cookies while watching TV. (她的性格也改变了:曾经活泼的女孩变成了一个diffident的宅女,逃避课外活动躲在房间里,常常一边看电视,一边漫无目的地吃薯片、饼干。)”可知,她变得不爱社交、缺乏自信。因此diffident意为“羞怯的,缺乏自信的”,与shy同义。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Jeanna’s case wasn’t complex. After reviewing her habits, the doctor made lifestyle interventions that focused on improving her dietary structure, controlling portion sizes and increasing physical activity. (Jeanna的情况并不复杂。在回顾了她的习惯后,医生制定了生活方式干预方案,核心是调整饮食结构、控制食量并增加体力活动。)”可知,医生之所以建议生活方式干预,是因为她的肥胖问题不复杂,无需复杂治疗。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“She believes effective weight management for teens requires a joint effort from parents, schools and healthcare professionals, as we are both physically and emotionally vulnerable. (她认为,对青少年进行有效的体重管理需要家长、学校和医疗专业人员的共同努力,因为我们在身体和情感上都很脆弱。) ”结合全文对Jeanna肥胖问题的起因、影响和解决办法的讲述,可知作者的写作目的是呼吁人们提高对青少年肥胖问题的关注度。故选C。

People will recycle if they can make money from doing so. In places where cash is offered for cans and bottles, metal and glass recycling has been a great success. Sadly, the measures have been weaker for recycling plastic.
But now, several technologies have matured that allow people to recycle waste plastic directly by 3D-printing it into valuable products, at a part of their normal cost. People are using their own recycled plastic to make decorations and gifts, home and garden products, toys, sporting goods and gadgets from millions of free designs. This approach is called distributed recycling and additive manufacturing (增材制造), or DRAM for short.
The DRAM method starts with plastic waste — everything from used packaging to broken products. The first step is to sort and wash the plastic with soap and water or even run it through the dishwasher. Next, the plastic needs to be ground into particles (颗粒). You can transform the particles into 3D printer filaments (细丝) using a recyclebot, a device that turns ground plastic into the spaghetti-like filaments used by most low-cost 3D printers. Filaments made by a 3D-printable recyclebot just cost less than a nickel (五分硬币) per pound compared to commercial filaments, which cost about $10 per pound.
Small companies can purchase industrial printers like the Gigabot X and make returns by printing large sporting goods and sports equipment like snowshoes, skateboard decks and so on from local waste. Large companies that make plastic products already recycle their own waste. Now, with DRAM, households can too. If many people start recycling their own plastic, it will help prevent the negative impact that plastic is having on the environment. In this way DRAM may provide a path to the circular economy, but it will not be able to handle the plastic problem until the number of users grows.
28. Which of the following can be considered DRAM?
A. Making full use of daily necessities.
B. Offering cash for recycling cans and bottles.
C. Applying 3D printing to additive manufacturing.
D. Using recycled plastic to make various products.
29. What is the advantage of filaments made by a 3D-printable recyclebot?
A. They are cheap. B. They are very clean.
C. They are convenient. D. They are of high quality.
30. What does the author think of the new approach to the plastic problem?
A. It’s expected to be heavily promoted. B. It still has a long way to go.
C. It’ll be mostly accessible to households. D. It requires more investment.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. DRAM: turn plastic waste into profit B. Plastic: a source of all resources
C. Recycling: some plastic green ideas D. 3D printing: the key to conservation
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为DRAM(分布式回收与增材制造)的新方法,该方法利用3D打印技术将废旧塑料直接转化为有价值的产品,从而为塑料回收问题提供了一条新路径。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“People are using their own recycled plastic to make decorations and gifts, home and garden products, toys, sporting goods and gadgets from millions of free designs. This approach is called distributed recycling and additive manufacturing (增材制造), or DRAM for short. (人们正利用自己回收的塑料,通过数百万个免费设计制作装饰品和礼物、家居和花园产品、玩具、体育用品和小器具。这种方法被称为分布式回收与增材制造,简称DRAM)”可知,利用回收塑料制造各种产品可以被视为DRAM。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Filaments made by a 3D-printable recyclebot just cost less than a nickel (五分硬币) per pound compared to commercial filaments, which cost about $10 per pound. (用3D打印回收机制造的细丝每磅成本不到五分钱,而商业细丝每磅成本约为10美元)”可知,用3D打印回收机制造的细丝优势在于它们很便宜。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In this way DRAM may provide a path to the circular economy, but it will not be able to handle the plastic problem until the number of users grows. (这样,DRAM可能为循环经济提供一条路径,但在用户数量增长之前,它无法解决塑料问题)”可推知,作者认为解决塑料问题的新方法目前还不够成熟,仍有很长的路要走。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段“But now, several technologies have matured that allow people to recycle waste plastic directly by 3D-printing it into valuable products, at a part of their normal cost. (但是现在,几项技术已经成熟,使人们能够直接将废塑料通过3D打印成有价值的产品,成本仅为正常成本的一小部分)”以及后文对DRAM方法优势和前景的介绍可知,本文主要讲述了DRAM如何将塑料废物转化为利润。故A项“DRAM: turn plastic waste into profit (DRAM:将塑料废物转化为利润)”能概括文章内容,最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
D
Lionfish have been migrating (迁徙) south for years. They were first caught in the Gulf of Mexico, likely released from the aquarium trade, in 1985, and quickly expanded into the US East Coast and the Caribbean. They reached South American coastlines around 2010.
But the species stopped around Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. For 10 years, freshwater flowing from the Amazon River into the Atlantic and a gathering of currents acted as geographic (地理的) barriers, stopping the fish from continuing south. But around 2020, lionfish began slip-ping under the barrier and heading south.
Now, dozens of lionfish have been spotted along 150 miles of Brazil’s coastline, according to a new study in Frontiers in Marine Science. Between March and May, when the water was clear enough to track the fish, researchers and fishers documented 72 individuals there, which suggests they have likely established new, successful populations.
Since March 2022, lionfish already managed to cover 700 kilometers of coastline, says Marcelo Soares, a marine ecologist and lead author of the new study. He also reported the number of individuals is now above 300.
For many scientists, the question wasn’t whether the fish species would continue moving south, but when. “We knew once they made it through the barrier at the Amazon, they would spread like fire,” says Osmar Luiz, an aquatic ecologist at Australia’s Charles Darwin University.
While efforts to fully get rid of lionfish may be useless, efforts to reduce their populations help limit damage to native species. Luiz says that the next important step is to track lionfish as they move and try to prevent them from establishing new populations. For the native species of Brazil, this fight is a matter of survival, Luiz says.
32. Why did lionfish appear in South American coastlines?
A. They were sent there by currents.
B. They were brought there by Americans.
C. The aquarium staff released them in South American coastlines.
D. They migrated there after being spotted in the Gulf of Mexico.
33. What once stopped lionfish from moving south?
A. Natural barriers. B. Sea pollution. C. Fishing activities. D. The aquarium trade.
34. What are scientists concerned about?
A. It’s very difficult to track them. B. Whether lionfish will continue moving.
C. It’s impossible to reduce their populations. D. The spread of lionfish will destroy local species.
35. In which section of a newspaper can we probably find this text?
A. Health. B. Nature. C. Technology. D. Business.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现,入侵物种狮子鱼已经越过阻挡它们的天然屏障,进入了巴西的海域,对那里的本土物种造成了威胁。追踪狮子鱼的行踪并控制其繁殖是保护巴西物种生存的重要一步。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They were first caught in the Gulf of Mexico, likely released from the aquarium trade, in 1985, and quickly expanded into the US East Coast and the Caribbean.(1985年,它们首次在墨西哥湾被捕获,很可能是从水族馆贸易中释放出来的,并迅速扩展到美国东海岸和加勒比地区)”可知,这些狮子鱼在墨西哥湾被发现后迁徙到南美洲海岸线上,故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For 10 years, freshwater flowing from the Amazon River into the Atlantic and a gathering of currents acted as geographic (地理的) barriers, stopping the fish from continuing south.(10年来,从亚马孙河流入大西洋的淡水和洋流的汇集起到了地理屏障的作用,阻止了鱼类继续向南流动)”可知,是天然屏障阻止了狮子鱼向南迁徙,故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“While efforts to fully get rid of lionfish may be useless, efforts to reduce their populations help limit damage to native species. Luiz says that the next important step is to track lionfish as they move and try to prevent them from establishing new populations. For the native species of Brazil, this fight is a matter of survival, Luiz says.(虽然完全消灭狮子鱼的努力可能是徒劳的,但减少狮子鱼种群的努力有助于限制对本地物种的损害。路易斯说,下一个重要步骤是在狮子鱼移动时追踪它们,并试图阻止它们建立新的种群。路易斯说,对于巴西本土物种来说,这场斗争关乎生存)”可知,科学家担心狮子鱼会毁灭当地物种,故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Lionfish have been migrating (迁徙) south for years. They were first caught in the Gulf of Mexico, likely released from the aquarium trade, in 1985, and quickly expanded into the US East Coast and the Caribbean(狮子鱼已经向南迁徙多年了。1985年,它们首次在墨西哥湾被捕获,很可能是从水族馆贸易中释放出来的,并迅速扩展到美国东海岸和加勒比海)”、第三段“Now, dozens of lionfish have been spotted along 150 miles of Brazil’s coastline, according to a new study in Frontiers in Marine Science.( 根据《海洋科学前沿》杂志的一项新研究,现在,在巴西150英里的海岸线上发现了数十条狮子鱼)”、以及倒数第二段“For many scientists, the question wasn’t whether the fish species would continue moving south, but when.(对许多科学家来说,问题不在于这些鱼类是否会继续向南移动,而在于何时)”可知,本文主要介绍了狮子鱼入侵巴西,威胁到了当地物种的生存,因此,本文最有可能出现在报纸的“自然”版块,故选B项。

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
With seasonal temperatures breaking records almost every year in the US, tree species ____56____ (expect) to adapt to the changes by slowly shifting their population centers northward. But ____57____ recent survey shows the trend towards westward movement is even ____58____ (strong) — in some cases, species have shifted their ranges to west by as much as 73 percent.
The survey shows that roughly three-quarters of the 86 tree species ____59____ (survey) have shifted their population centers westward ____60____ 1980.
Obviously, trees aren’t uprooting ____61____ (them) and moving elsewhere. The survey provides insight into general population trends as young trees continue to take root in westward land, while some of the older plants of the species in the eastern areas are slowly dying out. In this way, it is possible for the center of a species’ range ____62____ (transfer) gradually over time.
Though scientists aren’t sure ____63____ is causing this change, the publishers of the study think that it’s connected to rainfall. Rainfall totals across the United States have changed, ____64____ (cause) areas such as the Southeast to experience significantly less rain annually, while the Great Plains is getting far more than its historical average. For this reason, most trees are moving towards the ____65____ (increasing) watery plains.
【答案】56. are expected
57. a 58. stronger
59. surveyed
60. since 61. themselves
62. to transfer
63. what 64. causing
65. increasingly
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是美国树木种群中心向西迁移的现象及可能的原因。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:随着美国季节性气温几乎每年都打破纪录,人们预计树种会通过慢慢将其种群中心向北迁移来适应这些变化。空处为句子谓语,主语tree species与expect之间是被动关系,且句子描述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用are。故填are expected。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但最近的一项调查显示,向西迁移的趋势甚至更强——在某些情况下,物种的分布范围向西迁移了多达73%。survey是可数名词单数,此处表示“一项调查”,为泛指,且recent是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:但最近的一项调查显示,向西迁移的趋势甚至更强——在某些情况下,物种的分布范围向西迁移了多达73%。根据even可知,此处用形容词比较级stronger,表示“更强”。故填stronger。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:调查显示,自1980年以来,在被调查的86种树种中,大约有四分之三的树种将其种群中心向西迁移。空处作定语,动词survey与tree species之间是被动关系,表示“被调查的”,所以用过去分词作后置定语,修饰tree species。故填surveyed。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:调查显示,自1980年以来,在被调查的86种树种中,大约有四分之三的树种将其种群中心向西迁移。根据have shifted可知,句子时态是现在完成时,现在完成时搭配since表示“自从……以来”。故填since。
【61题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:显然,树木不会自己连根拔起,迁移到其他地方。主语和宾语指代一致,用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过这种方式,一个物种的分布范围中心有可能随着时间的推移逐渐转移。It is possible for sb./sth. to do sth.是固定句型,意为“某人/某物有可能做某事”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式。故填to transfer。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:尽管科学家们不确定是什么导致了这种变化,但该研究的发布者认为这与降雨量有关。此处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“什么”,所以用连接代词what引导该宾语从句。故填what。
【64题详解】
查非谓语动词。句意:美国各地的降雨总量已经发生了变化,导致东南部等地区每年降雨量显著减少,而大平原的降雨量远远超过历史平均水平。前面整件事造成后面的结果,用现在分词作结果状语,表示顺其自然的结果。故填causing。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:因此,大多数树木正朝着水越来越多的平原迁移。此处修饰形容词watery,所以用副词increasingly,表示“越来越多地”,作状语。故填increasingly。

67. 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。
Emma was a high school student who was passionate about environmental protection. One sunny Saturday, she and her best friend, Lily, decided to go to the local park for a volunteer clean-up. They had heard that the park, once a beautiful natural spot, had been filled with litter due to the large number of visitors during the recent holidays.
When they arrived at the park, they were shocked by what they saw. The grass was covered with plastic bottles, food wrappers, and cigarette butts. The lake was filled with floating trash, making it look like a garbage dump. Emma and Lily quickly put on their gloves and took out the trash bags they had brought. They started by picking up the litter on the grass, putting each piece into the bag carefully.
As they were working, they noticed a group of kids playing nearby. Some of the kids were throwing empty snack bags on the ground instead of using the trash cans. Emma walked over to them with a friendly smile, “Hey, guys! Do you know that littering is bad for the environment? The park will be much prettier if we all keep it clean.” One of the boys looked at her and said, “But it’s just a small piece of trash. It won’t make a difference.”
Just then, a strong wind blew, and a plastic bag flew into the lake. Emma pointed to it and said, “See, that small piece of trash can end up in the water and harm the fish and other animals that live there.” The kids seemed to think about what she said.
Suddenly, a park ranger rushed towards them. He looked worried and said, “There’s been an accident! A large barrel of chemical waste has leaked near the park’s water source. We need to stop it from polluting the whole water system!”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Emma and Lily immediately decided to help.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Emma and Lily immediately decided to help. They first gathered the group of kids who had been littering, explaining the urgency of the situation. “Every hand counts right now,” Emma said firmly, and the kids nodded, eager to make amends. The ranger handed them protective masks and pointed to the sandbags stored nearby. Together, they carried the heavy sandbags to the leak site, stacking them in a circle around the barrel to contain the spreading chemical waste. Lily used a small shovel to dig a shallow ditch, diverting the small amount of leaked waste away from the water source, while Emma kept watch to ensure no waste seeped through the sandbag barrier.
Finally, with their combined efforts, the leak was stopped. The ranger let out a sigh of relief, patting the kids on the back. “You all did a fantastic job — this could have been a disaster without your help,” he said. The sun was setting as they packed up, and the park looked a little cleaner already. The kids promised to never litter again and even said they’d come back to help with future clean-ups. Emma and Lily walked home tired but happy, knowing that their passion for the environment had not only made a difference that day but also inspired the next generation to care for the planet.
