Here are some of the very best on the planet to help you plan your next great hike. The King’s Trail, Sweden Length of hike: more than 450 km Considered one of the world’s most amazing hikes, the King’s Trail is known for its remote edge-of-the-world atmosphere, 24/7 midsummer daylight and the August/ September Northern Lights that light up the sky. It courses through a vast Arctic landscape home to birch forests filled with flowers, impressive mountain passes and broad glacial valleys. The Lycian Way, Türkiye Length of hike: 540 km As the most scenic long-distance hike in Türkiye, this hike traces ancient bridges, footpaths and mule (骡子) tracks for a breathtaking journey into the country’s past. The route got its name because of the ancient Lycian towns, temples and time-worn castles it passes by. Tracing the Mediterranean coast through forests, mountains and historic harbour towns, the walk takes in lots of key sites of Türkiye. The Jordan Trail, Jordan Length of hike: 675 km The Jordan Trail is an ambitious adventure, passing through desert landscape, ancient ruins, villages and towns. Despite first-glance appearances, hikers are surprised that the trail is not endless desert. Throughout the trail, expect a diverse landscape that includes wooded hills, cliffs, the “Lost City of Petra” and soaring mountains, and finally, the cool waters of the Red Sea at the trip’s end. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia Length of hike: 104 km-110 km Located about 200 kilometers southwest of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Walk provides hikers with plenty of only-in-Australia sights and ranks as the continent’s most charming coastal foot path. Along the route, hikers will undoubtedly encounter koalas, wallabies, stream and river crossings, tall forests and deserted beaches. 1. Which hike covers the shortest length? A. The King’s Trail, Sweden. B. The Lycian Way, Türkiye. C. The Jordan Trail, Jordan. D. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia. 2. What is special about the King’s Trail? A. Its desert and mountain scenery. B. Its polar day and polar lights views. C. Its focus on biodiversity conservation. D. Its coastal landscapes and ancient ruins. 3. What do the Lycian Way and the Jordan Trail have in common? A. They are famous world heritage sites. B. They offer chances to observe wildlife. C. They pass through ancient historical sites. D. They are located on the same continent. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上四条最佳徒步路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The King’s Trail, Sweden Length of hike: more than 450 km (瑞典国王小径 长度超过450公里)”、“The Lycian Way, Türkiye Length of hike: 540 km (土耳其利西亚之路 长度为540公里)”、“The Jordan Trail, Jordan Length of hike: 675 km (约旦小径 长度为675公里)”和以及“The Great Ocean Walk, Australia Length of hike: 104 km-110 km (澳大利亚大洋步道 长度在104公里至110公里之间)”可知，大洋步道的长度是最短的。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Considered one of the world’s most amazing hikes, the King’s Trail is known for its remote edge-of-the-world atmosphere, 24/7 midsummer daylight and the August/ September Northern Lights that light up the sky.(国王小径被认为是世界上最令人惊叹的徒步旅行之一，以其偏远的世界边缘氛围、24小时不间断的仲夏阳光以及照亮天空的8月/9月北极光而闻名)”可知，国王小径的特别之处在于其极昼和极光景观。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the most scenic long-distance hike in Türkiye, this hike traces ancient bridges, footpaths and mule (骡子) tracks for a breathtaking journey into the country’s past.(作为土耳其风景最美的长途徒步旅行，这条徒步路线沿着古老的桥梁、人行道和骡子小道，带你进入这个国家令人惊叹的过去)”和第四段中“The Jordan Trail is an ambitious adventure, passing through desert landscape, ancient ruins, villages and towns.(约旦小径是一次雄心勃勃的冒险，穿越沙漠景观、古遗址、村庄和城镇)”可知，利西亚之路和约旦小径的共同之处是它们都经过古代历史遗址。故选C项。 B When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 4. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 5. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 6. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文 。文章讲述作者四年前在波特兰买房后打理花园，面对贫瘠土壤，采用现代农业方法改良，最终对土壤有全新认知的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.(以前，在那些小得多的花园里，我会用从苗圃买来的几袋优质土壤来改良土壤)”可知，作者过去是通过添加优质土壤来改善土壤的，也就是添加肥沃的土壤。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock(现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少土壤扰动和强调生物多样性。在实践中，轮流种植作物；优先使用有机肥料而非化肥；将农作物、树木以及家畜进行整合)”和划线词后面“…soil from being washed away with cover crops (用覆盖作物来……土壤被冲走)”可知，这里说的是一些现代农业的原则及实践方法，提到用覆盖作物来防止土壤被冲走，划线词在此处应是“保护、防护”的意思，与“Sheltering”意思相近。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.(五月的时候，我决定移栽一株开花植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生物都冒了出来。蚯蚓在根部扭动着，一只长脚蜘蛛匆匆寻找藏身之处。在这株植物的下方，我甚至还看到了真菌菌丝体那细密的白色网状结构)”可知，本段描述了作者在移栽开花植物时，看到了蚯蚓、长脚蜘蛛以及真菌菌丝体等各种各样的生物出现，展现了多种生物共存的情况，目的是说明形成了多物种的群落。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. (摆在我面前的挑战是重振土壤)”和最后一段“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right.(我用手指穿过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。它不仅仅是作为生命的媒介，而且本身就是一个有生命的实体)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者打理花园改造土壤的过程，通过实践对土壤有了新的认识，认为土壤不仅仅是生命的介质，它本身就是一个有生命的个体，强调了土壤的重要性及独特“生命力”，因此，A选项“土壤的灵魂”作为标题最为合适，能够概括文章的主旨。故选A项。 C The saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.” Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department. “The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China. In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.” Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM. B. The introduction of a new TCM product. C. The concept of “good medicine tastes bitter” in TCM. D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients. 9. Why does the hospital integrate TCM with modern tastes? A. To replace modern medicine with traditional practices. B. To attract the interest of younger individuals. C. To make TCM less effective for health benefits. D. To boost the financial cost of TCM items. 10. What is the TCM night market like? A. A place for professional health advice. B. A social event with free entertainment. C. A venue for experiencing TCM in daily life. D. A platform for selling TCM products only. 11. What is Doctor Wang Huiwu’s attitude towards TCM? A. Skeptical. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是中国传统医学与现代饮食文化的结合，特别是中草药与奶茶的创新搭配，吸引年轻一代关注和体验中医的魅力。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.”(20岁的大学生Xi Linjie在重庆一家中医院寻求治疗疲劳，并惊喜地发现了一杯甜奶茶。“奶茶中加入了木薯粉和陈皮干等中药成分，但味道却很好。它没有普通奶茶那么甜，而且有淡淡的草药香味，”她说。“最重要的是，它对健康有益。”)”可知，主要讲述了一名大学生因疲劳在重庆一家中医院寻求帮助，喝到了一杯加了中药成分的甜奶茶，觉得味道不错且对健康有益，这是她与传统中医的个人经历。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. (自2023年以来，该医院将中医加工技术与现代食品生产相结合，以吸引年轻一代。)”可知，医院将中医与现代口味结合的主要目的是吸引年轻一代的兴趣。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. (在重庆万盛经济开发区，每个周末都会举办中医夜市。24岁的居民Yang Jian表示：“在这些不同的摊位上，我们可以享受免费诊断和针灸，还可以购买中药包和饮料。”)”可知，在重庆万盛经济开发区的不同摊位，人们可以享受免费诊断和针灸等，由此可知，中医夜市是一个体验中医的场所。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. (参加夜市的Wang Huiwu医生很高兴看到许多年轻游客寻求身体健康方面的专业建议，这表明年轻一代对中医有信心。)”可知，看到很多年轻游客寻求身体健康方面的专业建议，Wang Huiwu医生很高兴，结合下文的“He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”(他还建议，应该做出更多努力，将中医与年轻人感兴趣的其他领域结合起来，并补充说：“中医正在成为年轻人的新趋势。”)”可知，他提出应该更加努力地将中医与其他年轻人感兴趣的领域相结合起来，由此可知，他对中医是支持和认可的。故选C项。 D New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.” To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. 12. What is the primary goal of the research? A. To promote the development of green AI. B. To measure energy consumption worldwide. C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects. 13. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.? A. It contributes to petrol-based activities. B. It will soon reach the global emission target. C. It has small influence at the national level. D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption. 14. What do researchers plan to do next? A. Extend their research to more countries. B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages. C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers. 15. Which of the following is the main idea of the text? A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions. B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating. C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated. D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新研究对人工智能（AI）是否会大幅增加全球温室气体排放这一普遍观点提出质疑，介绍了研究的过程、发现及未来计划。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. (他们的目的是了解如果人工智能的采用沿着目前的路径增加，环境可能会发生什么)”可知，该研究的主要目的是评估人工智能对环境的潜在影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U. S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. (研究人员指出，美国人工智能的总能源使用量与冰岛的电力消耗相当，但从国家或全球层面来看，这一数字仍然微不足道)”可知，美国人工智能的能源消耗在国家层面上影响较小。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. (Moreno-Cruz和Harding打算将同样的方法应用于更多的国家，以便了解人工智能的采用可能如何影响世界不同地区的环境结果)”可知，研究人员计划将他们的研究扩展到更多国家。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. (新研究对人工智能（AI）正在推动全球温室气体排放大幅上升的普遍看法提出了挑战)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了新研究对人工智能（AI）是否会大幅增加全球温室气体排放这一普遍观点提出质疑，研究发现人工智能对气候的影响比人们认为的要小得多。故选D项。 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。 There is a distinction between security and privacy when it comes to your online data. ____16____.

However, my mother called after work, her voice filled with childlike excitement. She explained that her company was having a spring outing the next day and asked if I could stop by the bakery on my way home to buy her a bag of coconut bread for lunch. Without even thinking, I refused, telling her I couldn’t spare time because I had already made plans with my friends. She bargained with me for a long time, insisting that it’s just buying a bag of bread — it wouldn’t take long or delay me. She was almost angry by the end of it, so I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed. But as soon as I saw the bakery from a distance, my heart sank. The store was packed, with a long queue snaking all the way outside. I couldn’t help but groan (叹息) hopelessly. A: the line inched forward, I kept checking the time, standing on tiptoe to look ahead, dizzy from hunger. I couldn’t understand my mother — why wouldn’t she just stay home and rest on a weekend? Spring outings were for kids! Just then, someone behind me called softly, “Miss.” I turned around, seeing a middle-aged woman I didn’t recognize. Annoyed, I asked impatiently, “What?” Her smile was almost humble. “Look, I’m just one person behind you, but that means I’ll have to wait for another batch (一批). I’m buying this for my son — he’s going on a spring outing tomorrow. I still need to rush home to cook dinner and take him to his tutoring class. If you’re not in a hurry, I was wondering if...” “Who are you buying for?” she asked. Without hesitation, I answered, “For my mom. She’s going on a spring outing tomorrow.” For some reason, as soon as I said that, the entire bakery fell into silence. All eyes turned toward me. 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。 Paragraph 1 She asked loudly, “Who did you say you’re buying for?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The woman ahead of me turned around and asked me to go first. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 She asked loudly, “Who did you say you’re buying for?” I repeated, a bit nervously, “For my mom.” She looked at me with a mixture of surprise and admiration and said, “You’re such a good daughter. Your mom must be very happy.” At that moment, I felt a rush of shame. I realized that I had been so impatient and reluctant to do this small thing for my mother, while this woman was so eager to buy something for her son. I thought about how much my mother had done for me over the years, and how little I had given back. Paragraph 2 The woman ahead of me turned around and asked me to go first. She said, “You should go ahead. Your mom is going on a spring outing too. It’s important.” I was touched by her kindness. I tried to refuse, but she insisted. So, I thanked her and moved to the front of the line. When I finally got the coconut bread, I held it tightly in my hands. I couldn’t wait to give it to my mother and tell her that I was sorry for my earlier attitude. I realized that even the smallest act of kindness for our parents can mean a lot to them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的母亲让作者在回家路上帮她买一袋椰子面包，作者在排队时，一位母亲询问作者给谁买面包，作者回答说自己给妈妈买，结果那位母亲告诉作者自己也要给妈妈买，作者和那位母亲互换了位置 让那位母亲先买，结果，排在作者身后的每个人都让作者先买。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她大声问：“你说你要买给谁？””可知，第一段可描写作者的回复以及内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“走在我前面的那位女士转过身来，让我先买。”可知，第二段可描写作者把面包送给母亲以及感受。 2.续写线索：问作者——作者回复——内心感受——让作者先买——把面包送给母亲——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②重复：repeat/say again ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delightful ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I realized that I had been so impatient and reluctant to do this small thing for my mother, while this woman was so eager to buy something for her son.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] When I finally got the coconut bread, I held it tightly in my hands.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 包头市第八十一中学高二年级四月月考英语试题 注意事项： 1．考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填涂在答题卡的规定位置。 2．考生要将答案写在答题卡上，在试卷上答题一律无效。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 3．本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Here are some of the very best on the planet to help you plan your next great hike. The King’s Trail, Sweden Length of hike: more than 450 km Considered one of the world’s most amazing hikes, the King’s Trail is known for its remote edge-of-the-world atmosphere, 24/7 midsummer daylight and the August/ September Northern Lights that light up the sky. It courses through a vast Arctic landscape home to birch forests filled with flowers, impressive mountain passes and broad glacial valleys. The Lycian Way, Türkiye Length of hike: 540 km As the most scenic long-distance hike in Türkiye, this hike traces ancient bridges, footpaths and mule (骡子) tracks for a breathtaking journey into the country’s past. The route got its name because of the ancient Lycian towns, temples and time-worn castles it passes by. Tracing the Mediterranean coast through forests, mountains and historic harbour towns, the walk takes in lots of key sites of Türkiye. The Jordan Trail, Jordan Length of hike: 675 km The Jordan Trail is an ambitious adventure, passing through desert landscape, ancient ruins, villages and towns. Despite first-glance appearances, hikers are surprised that the trail is not endless desert. Throughout the trail, expect a diverse landscape that includes wooded hills, cliffs, the “Lost City of Petra” and soaring mountains, and finally, the cool waters of the Red Sea at the trip’s end. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia Length of hike: 104 km-110 km Located about 200 kilometers southwest of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Walk provides hikers with plenty of only-in-Australia sights and ranks as the continent’s most charming coastal foot path. Along the route, hikers will undoubtedly encounter koalas, wallabies, stream and river crossings, tall forests and deserted beaches. 1. Which hike covers the shortest length? A. The King’s Trail, Sweden. B. The Lycian Way, Türkiye. C. The Jordan Trail, Jordan. D. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia. 2. What is special about the King’s Trail? A. Its desert and mountain scenery. B. Its polar day and polar lights views. C. Its focus on biodiversity conservation. D. Its coastal landscapes and ancient ruins. 3. What do the Lycian Way and the Jordan Trail have in common? A. They are famous world heritage sites. B. They offer chances to observe wildlife. C. They pass through ancient historical sites. D. They are located on the same continent. B When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 4. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 5. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 6. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers C The saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.” Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department. “The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China. In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.” Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM. B. The introduction of a new TCM product. C. The concept of “good medicine tastes bitter” in TCM. D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients. 9. Why does the hospital integrate TCM with modern tastes? A. To replace modern medicine with traditional practices. B. To attract the interest of younger individuals. C. To make TCM less effective for health benefits. D. To boost the financial cost of TCM items. 10. What is the TCM night market like? A. A place for professional health advice. B. A social event with free entertainment. C. A venue for experiencing TCM in daily life. D. A platform for selling TCM products only. 11. What is Doctor Wang Huiwu’s attitude towards TCM? A. Skeptical. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Unclear. D New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.” To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. 12. What is the primary goal of the research? A. To promote the development of green AI. B. To measure energy consumption worldwide. C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects. 13. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.? A. It contributes to petrol-based activities. B. It will soon reach the global emission target. C. It has small influence at the national level. D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption. 14. What do researchers plan to do next? A. Extend their research to more countries. B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages. C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers. 15. Which of the following is the main idea of the text? A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions. B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating. C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated. D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed. 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。 There is a distinction between security and privacy when it comes to your online data. ____16____.

I had already planned to hang out with my friends. However, my mother called after work, her voice filled with childlike excitement. She explained that her company was having a spring outing the next day and asked if I could stop by the bakery on my way home to buy her a bag of coconut bread for lunch. Without even thinking, I refused, telling her I couldn’t spare time because I had already made plans with my friends. She bargained with me for a long time, insisting that it’s just buying a bag of bread — it wouldn’t take long or delay me. She was almost angry by the end of it, so I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed. But as soon as I saw the bakery from a distance, my heart sank. The store was packed, with a long queue snaking all the way outside. I couldn’t help but groan (叹息) hopelessly. A: the line inched forward, I kept checking the time, standing on tiptoe to look ahead, dizzy from hunger. I couldn’t understand my mother — why wouldn’t she just stay home and rest on a weekend? Spring outings were for kids! Just then, someone behind me called softly, “Miss.” I turned around, seeing a middle-aged woman I didn’t recognize. Annoyed, I asked impatiently, “What?” Her smile was almost humble. “Look, I’m just one person behind you, but that means I’ll have to wait for another batch (一批). I’m buying this for my son — he’s going on a spring outing tomorrow. I still need to rush home to cook dinner and take him to his tutoring class. If you’re not in a hurry, I was wondering if...” “Who are you buying for?” she asked. Without hesitation, I answered, “For my mom. She’s going on a spring outing tomorrow.” For some reason, as soon as I said that, the entire bakery fell into silence. All eyes turned toward me. 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。 Paragraph 1 She asked loudly, “Who did you say you’re buying for?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The woman ahead of me turned around and asked me to go first. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
