B Robert Taylor talks about his art show Like all children,I was always getting myself and the kitchen table in a mess when I first took an interest in painting.Unlike many kids,who give up activities like art for other subjects when they go through school,I continued painting throughout my childhood.Now, after years of enjoyment,I've finally decided to display some of my works by holding an show at Glebe Street library. I've never had any formal art training.When I was trying to decide what I should study at university,art as a subject never entered my head.I always thought my parents wanted me to follow a subject that would be useful when I was looking for a job,so I ended up taking a business course. And during my time at university,I seldom painted.It wouldn't have been easy to paint anyway as I lived in school and had very little space.I kept an interest in art though and visited local exhibitions(展览)whenever I could,but that was about it.It was later in my thirties while I was working that I discovered my love of the activity again.Since then I've made a point of spending at least one evening a week painting. However,my works have only ever been seen by trusted friends.They've always given me plenty of support and encouragement.But I've always wondered what strangers would think.Maybe they could give me an honest opinion of my ability.The library has offered me a room for the show.They've asked me to supply questionnaires about the event and I've included a section for visitors’ comments about the works.I’m very much looking forward to reading these opinions. 24.What can we know about the writer from paragraph 1? A. He kept painting in his childhood. B. He has held several great art shows. C. He liked cooking when he was a child. D. He gave up other subjects for art in school. 25.Why did the writer choose a business course instead of art in university? A. He had no formal art training. B. His parents forced him to do so. C. The business course helps in job-hunting. D. Jobs in business were well-paid. 26.What did the writer do about art in university? A. He painted a lot in school. B. He visited art exhibitions. C. He organized art activities. D. He did part-time jobs about art. 27.Which of the following words best describe the writer? A. Hardworking but shy. B. Creative but unlucky. C. Positive and warm-hearted. D. Determined and talented. 英语试题 第4页(共10页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 C A new study into ladybirds(瓢虫)has suggested that not enough attention has been given to these spotty insects,which are important pest(害虫)controllers.Recently,their survival has come under threat(威胁),so researchers are calling for citizen scientists (volunteer members of the public who help with scientific research)to help work out how to protect them.There are more than 6,000 species of ladybird around the world,but their populations are dropping fast. Ladybirds help to protect plants,including food crops,by eating smaller insects,which feed on plants and can do harm to them.The ladybird study was done by an international group of experts,including researchers from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.It shows that not enough is known about ladybirds and how they are dealing with threats such as climate change,pollution and changes in the use of land.The study points out that while projects to save other insects —such as bees —have been helpful for ladybirds,more specific research is needed. The study recommends involving more citizen scientists in recording ladybird observations,and creating insect-friendly habitats.“Everyone can make a difference and help to protect ladybirds and other insects,"says Roy.“We need to act fast and act together.” To help with their survival,try not to get rid of small insects from gardens,so that ladybirds have enough food.You could plant flowers with lots of pollen(花粉)and avoid cutting back old stems and clearing leaves,which are natural habitats for ladybirds in the cold months. 28.Why are ladybirds important? A. They have high scientific value. B. They can predict climate changes. C. They help protect plants from pests. D. They are food resources for some insects. 29.What can we learn from the ladybird study? A. There're still mysteries about ladybirds. B. Recent projects do little good to ladybirds. C. How ladybirds deal with threats in nature. D. Why the population of ladybirds is dropping fast. 30.What can citizen scientists do to protect ladybirds? A. They can help create suitable habitats for ladybirds. B. They can kill the insects which live in their gardens. C. They can recommend places for ladybird observation. D. They can clean up their gardens and plant more flowers. 31.What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain why ladybirds are important. B. To introduce the findings of a new study. C. To share opinions on doing scientific research. D. To call for immediate environmental protection. 英语试题第5页(共10页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D The desert of Abu Dhabi is an extremely dry place with very little water.The plants and animals in the desert must adapt to(适应)this tough condition.It has been found that many plants have special ways to store water or withstand high temperatures. Recently,researchers in Abu Dhabi's desert found a plant called the Athel tamarisk. This tree can thrive there and actually grow up to 18 meters tall.The tree seems to use salt crystals(结晶体)on its leaves to pull water from the air. After a researcher noticed water appearing on these crystals,her team recorded videos of the plants.Later,they found out why the tree can survive in such a dry and salty desert. The tree gets rid of extra salt by producing salt crystals onto its leaves.However,this also helps the plant pull moisture(水分)from the air.This is a useful skill in extremely dry environments.The findings were reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The team examined salt crystals on the plant's leaves.They found more than 10 different kinds of salt.Most of the larger salt crystals simply fall from the leaves.But they also found small crystals of lithium sulfate(硫酸锂).These small crystals stay on the leaves and take in water from the air.When the team added colored water to salty leaves,the water stuck to the crystals,and then went into the plant's leaves.This proves that the crystals help the plant collect water. Hopefully,the discovery could help people in dry places to collect moisture from the air,or even promote rain,the team says. 32.What does the underlined word“thrive”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Die out. B. Stand straight. C. Break down. D. Grow well. 33.How does the Athel tamarisk pull water from the air? A. By removing air inside the plant. B. By producing salt crystals on its leaves. C. By growing up to 18 meters tall. D. By changing the shapes of its leaves. 34.Why did the researchers add colored water to salty leaves? A. To compare different kinds of salt. B. To examine the structure of tree leaves. C. To prove salt crystals help collect water. D. To find out how much water the tree takes in. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Water Found in Abu Dhabi's Desert B. New Discoveries about the Secrets of Desert C. A Plant in the Desert Pulls Water from the Air D. Trees Grow Well in Terrible Weather Conditions 英语试题第6页(共10页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Traveling is not just about exploring new places,but it is also an opportunity to learn about local customs,like what to speak,how to eat and etc. 36 This also shows respect for the locals.Here are four hints to help you be a more considerate traveller on your next trip.

I should have been focused,ready,but my mind kept racing to places I didn't want it to go.

On behalf of our group, I am here to present our discussion on whether social media is beneficial for enhancing friendships. Our group hold the view that social media is beneficial for strengthening friendships. We have reached this conclusion based on two main reasons. Firstly, social media effectively bridges geographical distances. It allows us to maintain daily contact with friends who live far away. Through sharing updates, we can stay involved in each other’s lives, which helps sustain and deepen our bonds. Secondly, it helps us find and connect with like-minded people. Online interest groups enable us to discover new friends who share our passions. This common ground provides a strong foundation for building meaningful and supportive friendships. Therefore, we believe that social media serves as a valuable tool for both maintaining existing friendships and forming new connections. Thanks for listening. Possible version 2 Good morning, everyone. Our group believes that social media is more likely to harm than enhance genuine friendships. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, social media often creates a false sense of connection rather than fostering deep bonds. While we see countless updates and likes, these interactions are mostly superficial/skin-deep. They lack the emotional depth essential for true understanding and empathy. A “like” can never replace a heartfelt conversation or shared laughter. Secondly, the culture of comparison and perfection on social platforms can create pressure and jealousy. People tend to post only the highlights of their lives, making others feel inadequate or left out. Thus, friendships are less likely to last. In short, we believe social media keep us physically connected at the cost of genuineness and emotional depth in friendships. Thank you. Possible version 3 Good morning, everyone. Our group takes a balanced view: social media can be beneficial for friendships, but its value depends entirely on how we use it. On the positive side, social media helps maintain connections that would otherwise fade. It allows us to keep in touch with old friends who have moved away and share life updates conveniently. Additionally, it helps us find communities of people who share our interests, which can lead to meaningful new friendships. However, we also recognize its drawbacks. Online interactions often lack the depth of face-to-face communication. The constant exposure to carefully selected highlights may sometimes lead to unnecessary comparison. If we rely solely on social media for connection, our relationships might become more superficial. Therefore, we believe social media is a useful tool to enhance friendships only when combined with genuine/ in-person interactions. Thank you. 听力原文 Text 1 W: Hi, Jim.

I have to pick something up at the mall, so why don’t you clean the floors and the furniture? I’ll go to the supermarket and get all the groceries. W: Are you sure? You hate driving. M: Never mind. I will bike there. W: OK. This is the list of the things you need to get. Can you also pick up a bottle of wine on your way home? M: I won’t forget this time. Text 9 M: Jean, I’m heading to London next month. W: Oh, my home city. How exciting! M: I was hoping for some advice! I’ve already booked tickets for the Tower of London and the London Eye. W: A boat trip down the Thames can be more interesting, particularly if you get a good tour guide. M: Okay! I’ll try it. My air ticket costs enough! Any cheap or free activities you’d recommend? W: Plenty! I suggest Buckingham Palace, where you can watch the changing of the guard. Plus, Borough Market is the place to go if you’re hungry. If you want a taste of London’s street culture, then go to the Southbank Skatepark. It’s near the Thames, so you can visit it right off the boat. M: Great! I’m interested in street culture. W: Many of the big museums are free to visit. Personally, I love the National Portrait Gallery. M: Does it have something special? W: Each piece there carries specific historical backgrounds, character stories, and cultural meanings. It provides an important window and rich resources for people to understand British history and culture. Text 10 W: Have you ever heard of a man named Buckminster Fuller? He was not just a brilliant scientist and inventor,but also an architect whose ideas ahead of his time still inspire us today. What made Buckminster truly well-known was his deep concern for human survival. Thus, he claimed that to solve humans’major problems, we have to anticipate what will become problems as resources reduce. He was especially passionate about developing more efficient housing. His goal was to create a new way of constructing buildings that could provide more livable space while using far fewer materials, energy, and resources. One solution he came up with in the late 1940s was a structure shaped like a piece of the globe,which amazed the world and brought him international reputation. That’s it for today’s Daily Takeaway. Tomorrow we’ll introduce one of the most influential lecturers in Oxford University, whose ideas have shaped countless minds in academia and beyond. 英语试题第10页(共10页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
