This non-biodegradable substance has spread to every corner of the globe — from the deep sea to the Antarctic, and even into our bodies. Every piece of plastic ever made survives in some form, with most eventually breaking down into microplastics: fragments (碎片) smaller than 5 millimeters, invisible to the unaided eye. Scientists estimate that the upper oceans alone contain 24.4 trillion small microplastic pieces. Microplastics are divided into primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced in tiny form, while secondary microplastics result from the environmental breakdown of larger plastic items. The main types include: Types of microplastics 1 Fibers These thin, thread-like (丝状的) plastics come from clothing and cigarette ends. One of the main ways these fibers enter lakes is through washing machines. 2 Microbeads These tiny plastic balls are often added to personal care products but are difficult to remove from wastewater due to their small size. 3 Fragments When a larger piece of plastic breaks down due to sunlight and weathering, it becomes smaller microplastic fragments. 4 Nurdles (小球) Small plastic pieces produced to make larger products, escape into lakes and oceans during transportation. 5 Foam Used as packing protection in delivery boxes, this soft product can be broken down easily into microplastics. How long do common plastic items take to break down? Plastic bags Cigarette ends Coffee cups Bottles Toothbrushes Fishing lines Can holders Straws 20 years 5 years 30 years 450 years 500 years 600 years 400 years 200 years We therefore urge everyone to: 1. Reduce the use of single-use plastics. 2. Choose clothing made from natural fibers. 3. Participate in plastic waste sorting and recycling. 4. Select personal care products without microbeads. Protecting our planet begins with conscious daily choices. Green Living Advocacy Committee February 14, 2026 1. What is the main purpose of this initiative? A. To explain how microplastics are grouped. B. To promote efforts to reduce microplastics. C. To analyze how microplastics degrade in nature. D. To identify major sources of microplastics. 2. Which of the following are primary microplastics? A. 1,2 and 4. B. 2 and 4. C. 1,3 and 5. D. 1 and 3. 3. Which plastic item takes the longest time to break down? A. Plastic bags. B. Bottles. C. Toothbrushes. D. Fishing lines. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了微塑料的定义、分类、来源、降解时间及其对环境的危害，呼吁公众采取行动减少微塑料污染。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “We therefore urge everyone to: 1. Reduce the use of single-use plastics. 2. Choose clothing made from natural fibers. 3. Participate in plastic waste sorting and recycling. 4. Select personal care products without microbeads. (因此我们敦促每个人：1.减少使用一次性塑料。2.选择天然纤维制成的衣物。3.参与塑料垃圾分类和回收。4.选择不含微珠的个人护理产品。)” 可知，本文的主要目的是促进减少微塑料污染的努力。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中 “Microplastics are divided into primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced in tiny form, while secondary microplastics result from the environmental breakdown of larger plastic items. (微塑料分为初级和次级。初级微塑料是故意以微小形式生产的，而次级微塑料则是较大塑料物品在环境中分解的结果。)” 以及表格中对2 Microbeads（微珠）的描述 “These tiny plastic balls are often added to personal care products but are difficult to remove from wastewater due to their small size. (这些微小的塑料球常被添加到个人护理产品中，但由于体积小，难以从废水中去除。)”和对4 Nurdles (塑料小球)的描述 “Small plastic pieces produced to make larger products, escape into lakes and oceans during transportation. (为制造更大产品而生产的小塑料颗粒，在运输过程中逃逸到湖泊和海洋中。)”可知，Microbeads (微珠)和Nurdles (塑料小球)是故意生产的微小塑料，属于初级微塑料。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格“How long do common plastic items take to break down? (常见塑料物品需要多长时间分解？)”中的数据：Plastic bags — 20 years(塑料袋——20年)；Bottles — 450 years (瓶子——450年)；Toothbrushes — 500 years (牙刷——500年)；Fishing lines — 600 years (渔线——600年)可知，Fishing lines — 600 years (渔线——600年)需要600年分解，是所列物品中时间最长的。故选D。 B Over the summer, my daughter, Cora, then 9, attended her first sleepaway camp. It had been her longest time away from home. “How much longer?” she asked with increasing frequency during our return trip to Stanford. Just past Crystal Springs Lake, Highway 280 peaks and then bends left, going down through golden grasses. I asked her to look out of the window. “Do you recognize where we are?” She stared out, then let out a cry of longing. By the time we turned onto Campus Drive, it had become a repeated shout: “Home! Home!” Cora has lived as a resident fellow kid in dorms since she was one. She’s connected to the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oak trees she climbed and the annual summer ants into every campus kitchen. She’s tied to its people — notably, college students. She has joined their Halloween costume competitions and eaten dining hall chicken beside them since she could hold one up. I, on the other hand, have a hard time answering the question of where I am “from”. By the time I was Cora’s age, I’d lived in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina. Any friendships built to last did so by letter. In adulthood I added four more states. Where can I lay claim to? I’ve now lived at Stanford a collective 13 years and built a family here. In that moment Cora cried out, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. Up to that day, I’d thought of Stanford as a thing I was sharing with my children, but I realized it is something they are sharing with me. And this place grounds us, my daughter and me, and it connects us to each other. 4. What does the daughter’s repeated question “How much longer?” show? A. She is physically exhausted. B. She is unsure of the route. C. She is eager to return home. D. She is uneasy about leaving. 5. Why does the author describe Cora’s childhood life? A. To show how unusual her childhood is. B. To explain why Cora enjoys outdoors. C. To contrast what life her mother had lived. D. To illustrate how deeply Cora belongs. 6. What difficulty does the author note about her own background? A. She has lived in too many places to feel rooted. B. She has lost contact with her childhood friends. C. She regrets moving frequently during adulthood. D. She feels disconnected from her family history. 7. What realization does the author reach at the end? A. Her children feel more at home than she does. B. Her family has become deeply rooted in Stanford. C. Stanford gives them a shared sense of belonging. D. Long-term residence creates a sense of ownership. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了女儿参加夏令营后在回家途中急切盼望到家的表现，回忆了女儿从小在斯坦福校园生活的经历，并对比了自己频繁搬家、没有固定归属感的成长经历，最终意识到斯坦福让母女二人拥有了共同的归属感。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““How much longer?” she asked with increasing frequency during our return trip to Stanford.(“还要多久？”在我们返回斯坦福的途中，她问得越来越频繁。)”以及第二段“By the time we turned onto Campus Drive, it had become a repeated shout: “Home! Home!”(当我们拐进校园大道时，这已经变成了重复的呼喊：“家！家！”)”可知，女儿不断问“还有多久”是因为急切想要回家。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Cora has lived as a resident fellow kid in dorms since she was one. She’s connected to the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oak trees she climbed and the annual summer ants into every campus kitchen. She’s tied to its people — notably, college students.(科拉从一岁起就作为住宿研究员的孩子住在宿舍里。她与这片土地及其居民紧密相连：她爬过的海岸橡树，以及每年夏天涌入校园每个厨房的蚂蚁。她与这里的人息息相关——尤其是大学生。)”可知，作者描述女儿的童年生活是为了说明女儿对斯坦福这片土地有深厚的归属感。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“By the time I was Cora’s age, I’d lived in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina. Any friendships built to last did so by letter. In adulthood I added four more states. Where can I lay claim to?(在我和科拉差不多大的时候，我已经住过俄亥俄州、印第安纳州、密苏里州和北卡罗来纳州。任何想要长久维系的友谊都是通过书信实现的。成年后，我又多住了四个州。我能声称自己来自哪里呢？)”可知，作者一生在太多地方居住过，以至于找不到自己的根，没有固定的归属感。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’d thought of Stanford as a thing I was sharing with my children, but I realized it is something they are sharing with me. And this place grounds us, my daughter and me, and it connects us to each other.(我曾以为斯坦福是我和孩子们分享的东西，但我意识到，它是孩子们和我分享的东西。这个地方让我和女儿有了根基，也把我们彼此联系在一起。)”可知，作者意识到斯坦福给了她们一家人共同的归属感。故选C。 C Hundreds of teenagers have walked in through the doors of Britain’s National Centre for Gaming Disorders since it opened. Lately, however, it has admitted a small but steady stream of different patients — 67 people over the age of 40. The oldest, addicted to games on her smartphone, was 72. As today’s 60-somethings enter retirement, time spent on smart devices is shooting up. “They are increasingly living their lives through their phones, the way teenagers sometimes do”, says Dr. Ipsit Vahia. The elderly have long been champion television-watchers. Now, however, the newly retired are the most enthusiastic adopters of digital devices. Combining TV and smart devices, those of retirement age clock up more daily screen time than young adults. In countries where the trend is most advanced, people are starting to worry about elderly smartphone users in the same way that they worry about teens. A study in South Korea estimated that 15% of those aged 60 to 69 were at risk of phone addiction. Research from Japan found screen time was associated with less physical activity among the elderly, while a survey in China linked it to worse sleep. With more screen time, older people face some online risks that teenagers do not. Their phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts. In-game purchases can empty wallets, and bad guys can rob victims within the same app. Moreover, they also lack the social guardrails that regulate teenagers’ screen time. During the day, teachers police teens’ phone usage, while parents do the reminding in the evening. By contrast, elderly people are their own bosses and may not have someone to guide them towards help. Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad. Messaging apps bring family closer. Gaming kills the time. Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood, bringing back music and videos. For better or worse, seniors’ screen time has much further to grow. 8. What trend does the text mainly highlight? A. Seniors are using IT devices more than youths. B. Screen use is rising among older adults. C. Uncontrolled gaming is emerging as a concern. D. Internet is reshaping the retirement life. 9. What concern is raised about elderly smartphone users? A. They may become socially separated. B. Their phone use limits their activities. C. They are unaware of digital addiction. D. Their screen use affects their health. 10. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. Greater personal freedom heightens digital risks. B. Older adults are the main target of online crimes. C. Financial links on digital devices cause money loss. D. External guidance prevents unsafe online behavior. 11. Why are messaging apps and media platforms mentioned? A. To show benefits of screen use. B. To explain seniors’ preferences. C. To stress entertainment choices. D. To predict future screen growth. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国老年人使用智能设备的时间大幅增加这一现象，分析了由此带来的健康、财产风险，同时也提及了使用智能设备给老年人带来的积极影响。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“As today’s 60-somethings enter retirement, time spent on smart devices is shooting up.(如今60多岁的人步入退休生活，他们花在智能设备上的时间正在急剧增加。)”和第三段中的“Combining TV and smart devices, those of retirement age clock up more daily screen time than young adults.(把看电视和使用智能设备的时间加在一起，退休年龄人群每天的屏幕使用时间比年轻人还要多。)”可知，本文重点强调的趋势是老年人的屏幕使用时间正在不断上升。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Research from Japan found screen time was associated with less physical activity among the elderly, while a survey in China linked it to worse sleep.(日本的一项研究发现，屏幕使用时间与老年人运动量减少有关，而中国的一项调查则将其与睡眠质量变差联系起来。)”可知，人们对老年人使用智能手机提出的担忧是他们的屏幕使用会影响身体健康。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“With more screen time, older people face some online risks that teenagers do not. Their phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts. In-game purchases can empty wallets, and bad guys can rob victims within the same app. Moreover, they also lack the social guardrails that regulate teenagers’ screen time. During the day, teachers police teens’ phone usage, while parents do the reminding in the evening. By contrast, elderly people are their own bosses and may not have someone to guide them towards help.(随着屏幕使用时间的增加，老年人面临着一些青少年没有的在线风险。他们的手机和平板电脑通常与银行账户相关联。游戏内购买可能会掏空钱包，坏人可以在同一个应用程序内抢劫受害者。此外，他们还缺乏规范青少年屏幕使用时间的社会约束。白天，老师监督青少年使用手机，晚上父母提醒。相比之下，老年人是自己做主，可能没有人引导他们寻求帮助。)”可推知，老年人有更大的个人自由，这使得他们面临更高的数字风险。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad. Messaging apps bring family closer. Gaming kills the time. Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood, bringing back music and videos.(然而，老年人屏幕使用时间的增加并非全是坏事。即时通讯应用拉近了家人之间的距离，游戏可以打发时间，Spotify和YouTube平台能让人想起童年，带回熟悉的音乐和视频。)”可知，文章提到即时通讯应用和媒体平台是为了说明屏幕使用带来的好处。故选A项。 D In the past seventy years, human exploitation of the oceans has intensified dramatically. Industrial fishing operations now harvest about 90 million metric tons of fish annually, with over one-third of global fish stocks regarded as overfished. This ever-increasing demand, coupled with illegal fishing and habitat destruction, has pushed marine ecosystems to the edge of collapse. The ocean’s capacity to absorb abuse is limited, and its decline mirrors humanity’s failure to balance consumption with preservation. The ocean has long been our silent partner in the fight against climate change, absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide and heat. But this generosity comes at a cost. Rising sea levels, acidification, and the loss of marine biodiversity are clear signals that the ocean is reaching its limits. For decades, we have treated the ocean as an endless resource and a convenient sink. Industrial fishing has pushed many fish stocks to the edge of collapse, while plastic pollution and chemical runoff have poisoned marine ecosystems. The consequences extend far beyond the sea; they spread through coastal communities, fisheries, and global food security. Yet, the ocean also holds the key to our survival. Healthy marine ecosystems can store carbon, protect coastlines from storms, and support millions of livelihoods. The challenge is to shift from exploitation to stewardship. This requires global cooperation, stronger regulations, and a commitment to sustainable practices. The time for half-measures is over. We must reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放), protect critical marine habitats, and invest in science and innovation to restore ocean health. The ocean’s warning is clear: If we continue to ignore it, we risk losing not only the beauty and wonder of the sea but also the life-support systems it provides. The future of our planet depends on how we respond to this call. By listening to the ocean and acting with urgency, we can ensure that it remains a source of life and strength for generations to come. 12. Why did the marine ecosystem go well in the past? A. Its self-cleaning ability was much stronger. B. Human exploitation level was much lower. C. Climate conditions were ideal for marine life. D. Marine ecosystems recovered more easily. 13. What does the underlined word “stewardship” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Guardianship. B. Prohibition. C. Observation. D. Ignorance. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the ocean? A. Confident but cautious. B. Neutral and objective. C. Hopeful but conditional. D. Pessimistic and suspicious. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overfishing Destroys Marine Ecosystem B. Exploitation Damages Capacity to Absorb Abuse C. Silent Crisis: How the Ocean is Dying D. Ocean’s Warning: Why Listen to the Seas 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人类对海洋的开发强度急剧上升，海洋生态面临危机，呼吁人们转变开发模式、保护海洋生态。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the past seventy years, human exploitation of the oceans has intensified dramatically. (在过去七十年间，人类对海洋的开发急剧加剧。)”可知，过去海洋生态系统良好是因为人类开发水平低得多。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The challenge is to shift from exploitation to stewardship. (挑战在于从开发转向管护。)”可知，stewardship意为守护、管理，与guardianship含义最接近。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“By listening to the ocean and acting with urgency, we can ensure that it remains a source of life and strength for generations to come. (只要我们倾听海洋的呼声并紧急行动，就能确保它继续为子孙后代提供生命与力量。)”可知，作者对海洋未来的态度是有希望但有条件的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The ocean’s warning is clear: If we continue to ignore it, we risk losing not only the beauty and wonder of the sea but also the life-support systems it provides.(海洋的警告很明确：如果我们继续忽视它，我们不仅会失去海洋的美丽和奇观，还会失去它提供的生命支持系统。)”以及最后一段中“By listening to the ocean and acting with urgency By listening to the ocean and acting with urgency, we can ensure that it remains a source of life and strength for generations to come. (只要我们倾听海洋的呼声并紧急行动，就能确保它继续为子孙后代提供生命与力量。)”可知，文章核心在于“倾听海洋的警告”。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dealing With Family Stress When families face stressful issues, the ways they respond often depend on their dealing and stress-management resources. In times of hardship, it might be hard to imagine how to decrease stress within the family system. ___16___ First, consider carrying out a practice of having a family meeting where members can explore how the current stressors are impacting them. ___17___ For example, can you each agree not to talk over each other or to take a break if one of you starts to raise your voice. This can help ensure each member feels safe and heard. ___18___ Each family member can then get some alone time. During this time, that family member is supported in relaxing and joining in an activity they find comforting without interruptions from others. Doing so can allow greater space for rest and relaxation and support the development of internal resources. To support mental wellness, a calm corner could be helpful. A calm corner is a part of the house that is set aside for quiet reflection. When things are feeling stressful, it is a place to go to take deep breaths and regulate nervous system. ___19___ Please be gentle with yourself during this process as it can be challenging to shift deeply fixed patterns, perspectives, and resources. It takes time to build and develop different skills and responses to stress. ___20___ Grant yourself patience and grace and take things one day and one moment at a time. A. Change takes consistent effort over time. B. It’s necessary to seek shared family activities. C. It may also be helpful to create a family schedule. D. Such a place can be friendly for kids and adults alike. E. Before digging into dialogue, set some shared agreements. F. However, even small actions can lead to different outcomes. G.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者做志愿者，负责整理一家图书馆的藏书，原本以为只是普通的假期消遣，却因结识了一位研究地方历史的退休教师而变成了一段最有意义的经历。 【21题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我负责整理当地一家图书馆的藏书。A. honored for因……而受尊敬；B. tasked with被委以……任务；C. tired of厌倦；D. pressed into被逼迫做……。根据前文“In the summer of 2025, I volunteered at a community center in a provincial town.”及本句中的“organizing the collection of a local library”可知，作者是去做志愿者，被安排做整理图书的工作，应是被委以某项任务。故选B项。 【22题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我最初以为这只是普通的消磨假期的方式，最终却成为我生命中最有意义的经历之一。A. initially最初；B. honestly诚实地；C. happily快乐地；D. suddenly突然地。根据本句中的“ultimately ____ as one of the most meaningful experiences of my life”尤其是“ultimately”一词可知，起初与最终形成对比，此处应表达“最初”之意。故选A项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我最初以为这只是普通的消磨假期的方式，最终却成为我生命中最有意义的经历之一。A. competed竞争；B. qualified取得资格；C. unfolded展开，呈现；D. disappeared消失。此处想表达的是，原本作者认为这只是一次普通的志愿者工作，而随着后文故事的展开，这次经历最终变成了最有意义的经历，unfolded表达“逐渐呈现出”之意，符合语境。故选C项。 【24题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：这家图书馆又旧又很少有人来。A. regularly定期地；B. recently最近；C. secretly秘密地；D. rarely很少。根据后文“Soon I observed an elderly gentleman seated in the same corner every afternoon, reading newspapers without ____ a soul in conversation.”可知，应是图书馆人不多，才能让作者很容易注意到一位老人每天下午坐在同一个角落看报，因此这家图书馆“很少被光顾”符合逻辑。故选D项。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：不久，我注意到一位老先生每天下午都坐在同一个角落里看报纸，没有与任何人交谈。A. engaging从事，参与；B. praising表扬；C. mentioning提及；D. offending冒犯。此处为固定短语engage sb. in conversation，意为“使某人参与谈话”或“与某人攀谈”。故选A项。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：好奇心战胜了我，有一天我鼓起勇气走近他。A. Worry担忧；B. Envy嫉妒；C. Curiosity好奇心；D. Sympathy同情。根据前文“Soon I observed an elderly gentleman seated in the same corner every afternoon, reading newspapers without ____ a soul in conversation.”作者观察到老人独自一人看报，且每天坐在固定位置；后文““Might I assist you in finding something?” I asked.”作者主动上前询问，应是好奇心驱使他去接近老人。故选C项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：好奇心战胜了我，有一天我鼓起勇气走近他。A. confidence信心；B. courage勇气；C. attention注意力；D. support支持。根据后文““Might I assist you in finding something?” I asked.”可知作者主动去接近一个陌生人，需要勇气；且gather the courage为常用搭配，后常与不定式连用，意为“鼓起勇气做某事”。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他轻声回答说，“我在研究本地历史。”A. making制作；B. learning学习；C. teaching教学；D. researching研究。根据后文“He introduced himself as Mr. Davies, a retired history instructor. For decades, he had been ____ together the town’s forgotten stories — especially those of immigrants who helped build the railway in the 19th century.”可知，这位老人的身份是退休历史教师，并多年来整理当地历史，说明他是在“研究”地方历史。故选D项。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：他轻声回答说，“我在研究本地历史。”A. nervously紧张地；B. softly轻柔地；C. jokingly开玩笑地；D. unwillingly不情愿地。根据老人安静的性格以及图书馆的环境可知，他应是轻声回答。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：几十年来，他一直在拼凑这个小镇被遗忘的故事——尤其是那些在19世纪帮助修建铁路的移民的故事。A. piecing拼凑；B. mixing混合；C. writing写作；D. sticking粘贴。根据前文““But most records are incomplete.””可知，当地历史记录不全，这位退休历史教师应是只能根据现有资料进行拼凑整理；且piece together为固定搭配，意为“拼凑、汇集”，常用来指从零散资料中整理出完整信息。故选A项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他解释说，他们的贡献在官方记载中常常被忽视。A. needs需求；B. perspectives视角；C. interests兴趣；D. contributions贡献。根据前文“For decades, he had been ____ together the town’s forgotten stories — especially those of immigrants who helped build the railway in the 19th century.”可知，早期移民曾帮助修建铁路，是对铁路建设做出了贡献。故选D项。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他解释说，他们的贡献在官方记载中常常被忽视。A. public 公共的；B. informal非正式的；C. official官方的；D. oral口头的。根据前文““But most records are incomplete.””可知，当地历史记录不全；且根据本句中的“Their ____ ,he explained, were often overlooked”可知，移民的贡献被忽视了，这应是官方的历史记载中所缺失的。故选C项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我被吸引住了，开始在他的陪伴下渡过休息时间。A. company陪伴；B. name名字；C. place地方；D. office办公室。根据本句句首的“Fascinated”可知，作者被吸引住了，应是在休息时间与老人一起相处，后文“He showed me faded photographs, handwritten letters, and maps.”表明作者听他讲述过去的故事，in one’s company意为“在某人的陪伴下”。故选A项。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我学会了如何研究家族树和核对日期。A. recall回忆；B. explore探索，研究；C. confirm确认；D. appreciate欣赏。根据本句中的“learned”及空后的“family trees and cross-reference dates”可知，此处指作者在学习历史研究方法，所以应是探索。故选B项。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：起初的一件杂事变成了一种日常冒险。A. necessity必需品；B. burden负担；C. adventure冒险；D. struggle挣扎。根据第一段第二句“I was ____ organizing the collection of a local library.”和前文“I learned how to ____ family trees and cross-reference dates.”及整个故事的描述可知，作者从被动完成任务到主动学习历史研究，这一过程应是充满了发现和惊喜，adventure符合这种积极转变的语境。故选C项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Canadian musicians Jenn Beaupre — better ___36___ (know) as Rozette — and JKAI never expected their “reaction” videos to go viral in China, a project they started almost three years ago.

I’d love to hear your stories! Best wishes, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, Hope you’re doing well! Last week we had a special English class meeting titled “Gratitude: Discovering the ‘Invisible Gifts’ Around Us” — how we often overlook small acts of kindness in our daily lives. During the meeting, we shared those tiny yet heart-warming moments in life, such as teachers’ care and classmates’ help, which we used to take for granted. We also wrote short thank-you notes to someone we wanted to appreciate but rarely expressed it to. This meaningful experience has benefited me enormously. Not only have I learned to identify these “invisible gifts” and cherish the affection surrounding me, but it has also dawned on me that gratitude is more than a mere emotion. Therefore, I have made it a routine to express my thanks more consciously and frequently. Have you had similar activities at your school? I’d love to hear your stories!

In the warmer months, he likes to have the pipe going in the back yard for hours at a time. Not to mention creating all that mud in our small yard. One night I brainstormed a setup: two small buckets (水桶) connected by a gutter (水槽), with a round-trip pump that takes the water from the lower bucket and feeds it back into the top one, creating a continuous stream without wasting water. I decided to take a trip to a home improvement store to look at materials in the gutter section and get some ideas as to how to make it work. Plus, I wanted to price pumps, as I knew that would be the biggest part of the investment. While I was standing in front of the gutters, an employee named Glen approached and offered help. I explained the project and mentioned Connor and his fascination with flowing water, as well as the effect on our water bill. Soon, he brought over two more employees, Jesse and Jeff. To my amazement, together they stayed with me and helped me figure out the entire setup. Jeff went and got more pieces, and we laid out a relay of buckets, pipes, connectors, and a round-trip pump. I started to worry whether I’d remember all the connections to tell my husband Roger about later. So I said that maybe I’d buy the connections but leave the pump, which wasn’t quite in the budget, for later. We talked a moment of prices for a couple of the items, and then suddenly they said they’d see about getting me out of there with everything. I looked at them. “What do you mean?” I asked. “We’ll give it to you. For free.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. My mind raced, trying to make sense of their generosity. “Why?” I asked, disbelieving. “It’s what we do,” Glen added, “Because you have an autistic son, and we want to help you out.” Glen smiled warmly, while Jesse and Jeff nodded. These were complete strangers, yet they had gone out of their way to help me and my son, without expecting anything in return. I was dumbfounded. My chest tightened with a mix of disbelief and gratitude. With the manager’s permission, they packed all the pieces into my car and told me to come back if I needed help. I kept repeating, “Thank you,” hoping they knew how much this meant. When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. The weight of constant worry about bills and mess seemed lighter. My faith in the goodness of people was restored and I felt eager to share that kindness with others. I couldn’t express to them how amazing the whole experience was. It was not just the setup that mattered, but the reminder that even in ordinary moments, small miracles could happen — and they could come from the most unexpected places. I couldn’t wait to build the setup with Roger and see Connor’s face light up, knowing this little stream of water was also a stream of unexpected human kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为患自闭症的儿子设计了一个不浪费水的流水装置，在商店里得到三位员工帮助，他们不仅帮忙规划，还免费提供了所需材料的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我盯着他们，无法相信自己听到的话。”可知，第一段可描写作者对员工们慷慨帮助的惊讶与感激，以及他们如何解释自己的善举。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我带着这些材料开车回家时，我感觉有些不同。”可知，第二段可描写作者带着材料回家时的感受，以及她对人性善良的信念得到恢复，并期待与儿子分享这份意外的善意。 2.续写线索：作者不敢相信——员工们解释原因——作者感激——作者开车回家——作者感觉不同——作者恢复对人性的信念——作者期待与儿子分享 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①微笑：smile/beam/grin ②理解：make sense of/figure out/comprehend ③搭建装置：build the setup/construct the device/assemble the equipment 情绪类 ①震惊：dumbfounded/shocked/astonished ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I couldn’t express to them how amazing the whole experience was.

This non-biodegradable substance has spread to every corner of the globe — from the deep sea to the Antarctic, and even into our bodies. Every piece of plastic ever made survives in some form, with most eventually breaking down into microplastics: fragments (碎片) smaller than 5 millimeters, invisible to the unaided eye. Scientists estimate that the upper oceans alone contain 24.4 trillion small microplastic pieces. Microplastics are divided into primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced in tiny form, while secondary microplastics result from the environmental breakdown of larger plastic items. The main types include: Types of microplastics 1 Fibers These thin, thread-like (丝状的) plastics come from clothing and cigarette ends. One of the main ways these fibers enter lakes is through washing machines. 2 Microbeads These tiny plastic balls are often added to personal care products but are difficult to remove from wastewater due to their small size. 3 Fragments When a larger piece of plastic breaks down due to sunlight and weathering, it becomes smaller microplastic fragments. 4 Nurdles (小球) Small plastic pieces produced to make larger products, escape into lakes and oceans during transportation. 5 Foam Used as packing protection in delivery boxes, this soft product can be broken down easily into microplastics. How long do common plastic items take to break down? Plastic bags Cigarette ends Coffee cups Bottles Toothbrushes Fishing lines Can holders Straws 20 years 5 years 30 years 450 years 500 years 600 years 400 years 200 years We therefore urge everyone to: 1. Reduce the use of single-use plastics. 2. Choose clothing made from natural fibers. 3. Participate in plastic waste sorting and recycling. 4. Select personal care products without microbeads. Protecting our planet begins with conscious daily choices. Green Living Advocacy Committee February 14, 2026 1. What is the main purpose of this initiative? A. To explain how microplastics are grouped. B. To promote efforts to reduce microplastics. C. To analyze how microplastics degrade in nature. D. To identify major sources of microplastics. 2. Which of the following are primary microplastics? A. 1,2 and 4. B. 2 and 4. C. 1,3 and 5. D. 1 and 3. 3. Which plastic item takes the longest time to break down? A. Plastic bags. B. Bottles. C. Toothbrushes. D. Fishing lines. B Over the summer, my daughter, Cora, then 9, attended her first sleepaway camp. It had been her longest time away from home. “How much longer?” she asked with increasing frequency during our return trip to Stanford. Just past Crystal Springs Lake, Highway 280 peaks and then bends left, going down through golden grasses. I asked her to look out of the window. “Do you recognize where we are?” She stared out, then let out a cry of longing. By the time we turned onto Campus Drive, it had become a repeated shout: “Home! Home!” Cora has lived as a resident fellow kid in dorms since she was one. She’s connected to the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oak trees she climbed and the annual summer ants into every campus kitchen. She’s tied to its people — notably, college students. She has joined their Halloween costume competitions and eaten dining hall chicken beside them since she could hold one up. I, on the other hand, have a hard time answering the question of where I am “from”. By the time I was Cora’s age, I’d lived in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina. Any friendships built to last did so by letter. In adulthood I added four more states. Where can I lay claim to? I’ve now lived at Stanford a collective 13 years and built a family here. In that moment Cora cried out, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. Up to that day, I’d thought of Stanford as a thing I was sharing with my children, but I realized it is something they are sharing with me. And this place grounds us, my daughter and me, and it connects us to each other. 4. What does the daughter’s repeated question “How much longer?” show? A. She is physically exhausted. B. She is unsure of the route. C. She is eager to return home. D. She is uneasy about leaving. 5. Why does the author describe Cora’s childhood life? A. To show how unusual her childhood is. B. To explain why Cora enjoys outdoors. C. To contrast what life her mother had lived. D. To illustrate how deeply Cora belongs. 6. What difficulty does the author note about her own background? A. She has lived in too many places to feel rooted. B. She has lost contact with her childhood friends. C. She regrets moving frequently during adulthood. D. She feels disconnected from her family history. 7. What realization does the author reach at the end? A. Her children feel more at home than she does. B. Her family has become deeply rooted in Stanford. C. Stanford gives them a shared sense of belonging. D. Long-term residence creates a sense of ownership. C Hundreds of teenagers have walked in through the doors of Britain’s National Centre for Gaming Disorders since it opened. Lately, however, it has admitted a small but steady stream of different patients — 67 people over the age of 40. The oldest, addicted to games on her smartphone, was 72. As today’s 60-somethings enter retirement, time spent on smart devices is shooting up. “They are increasingly living their lives through their phones, the way teenagers sometimes do”, says Dr. Ipsit Vahia. The elderly have long been champion television-watchers. Now, however, the newly retired are the most enthusiastic adopters of digital devices. Combining TV and smart devices, those of retirement age clock up more daily screen time than young adults. In countries where the trend is most advanced, people are starting to worry about elderly smartphone users in the same way that they worry about teens. A study in South Korea estimated that 15% of those aged 60 to 69 were at risk of phone addiction. Research from Japan found screen time was associated with less physical activity among the elderly, while a survey in China linked it to worse sleep. With more screen time, older people face some online risks that teenagers do not. Their phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts. In-game purchases can empty wallets, and bad guys can rob victims within the same app. Moreover, they also lack the social guardrails that regulate teenagers’ screen time. During the day, teachers police teens’ phone usage, while parents do the reminding in the evening. By contrast, elderly people are their own bosses and may not have someone to guide them towards help. Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad. Messaging apps bring family closer. Gaming kills the time. Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood, bringing back music and videos. For better or worse, seniors’ screen time has much further to grow. 8. What trend does the text mainly highlight? A. Seniors are using IT devices more than youths. B. Screen use is rising among older adults. C. Uncontrolled gaming is emerging as a concern. D. Internet is reshaping the retirement life. 9. What concern is raised about elderly smartphone users? A. They may become socially separated. B. Their phone use limits their activities. C. They are unaware of digital addiction. D. Their screen use affects their health. 10. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. Greater personal freedom heightens digital risks. B. Older adults are the main target of online crimes. C. Financial links on digital devices cause money loss. D. External guidance prevents unsafe online behavior. 11. Why are messaging apps and media platforms mentioned? A. To show benefits of screen use. B. To explain seniors’ preferences. C. To stress entertainment choices. D. To predict future screen growth. D In the past seventy years, human exploitation of the oceans has intensified dramatically. Industrial fishing operations now harvest about 90 million metric tons of fish annually, with over one-third of global fish stocks regarded as overfished. This ever-increasing demand, coupled with illegal fishing and habitat destruction, has pushed marine ecosystems to the edge of collapse. The ocean’s capacity to absorb abuse is limited, and its decline mirrors humanity’s failure to balance consumption with preservation. The ocean has long been our silent partner in the fight against climate change, absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide and heat. But this generosity comes at a cost. Rising sea levels, acidification, and the loss of marine biodiversity are clear signals that the ocean is reaching its limits. For decades, we have treated the ocean as an endless resource and a convenient sink. Industrial fishing has pushed many fish stocks to the edge of collapse, while plastic pollution and chemical runoff have poisoned marine ecosystems. The consequences extend far beyond the sea; they spread through coastal communities, fisheries, and global food security. Yet, the ocean also holds the key to our survival. Healthy marine ecosystems can store carbon, protect coastlines from storms, and support millions of livelihoods. The challenge is to shift from exploitation to stewardship. This requires global cooperation, stronger regulations, and a commitment to sustainable practices. The time for half-measures is over. We must reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放), protect critical marine habitats, and invest in science and innovation to restore ocean health. The ocean’s warning is clear: If we continue to ignore it, we risk losing not only the beauty and wonder of the sea but also the life-support systems it provides. The future of our planet depends on how we respond to this call. By listening to the ocean and acting with urgency, we can ensure that it remains a source of life and strength for generations to come. 12. Why did the marine ecosystem go well in the past? A. Its self-cleaning ability was much stronger. B. Human exploitation level was much lower. C. Climate conditions were ideal for marine life. D. Marine ecosystems recovered more easily. 13. What does the underlined word “stewardship” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Guardianship. B. Prohibition. C. Observation. D. Ignorance. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the ocean? A. Confident but cautious. B. Neutral and objective. C. Hopeful but conditional. D. Pessimistic and suspicious. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overfishing Destroys Marine Ecosystem B. Exploitation Damages Capacity to Absorb Abuse C. Silent Crisis: How the Ocean is Dying D.

In the warmer months, he likes to have the pipe going in the back yard for hours at a time. Not to mention creating all that mud in our small yard. One night I brainstormed a setup: two small buckets (水桶) connected by a gutter (水槽), with a round-trip pump that takes the water from the lower bucket and feeds it back into the top one, creating a continuous stream without wasting water. I decided to take a trip to a home improvement store to look at materials in the gutter section and get some ideas as to how to make it work. Plus, I wanted to price pumps, as I knew that would be the biggest part of the investment. While I was standing in front of the gutters, an employee named Glen approached and offered help. I explained the project and mentioned Connor and his fascination with flowing water, as well as the effect on our water bill. Soon, he brought over two more employees, Jesse and Jeff. To my amazement, together they stayed with me and helped me figure out the entire setup. Jeff went and got more pieces, and we laid out a relay of buckets, pipes, connectors, and a round-trip pump. I started to worry whether I’d remember all the connections to tell my husband Roger about later. So I said that maybe I’d buy the connections but leave the pump, which wasn’t quite in the budget, for later. We talked a moment of prices for a couple of the items, and then suddenly they said they’d see about getting me out of there with everything. I looked at them. “What do you mean?” I asked. “We’ll give it to you. For free.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
