Mangroves (are critical ecosystems that bridge land,freshwater,and sea
Home to various species,they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide.
Yet they continue to face threats from both human activities and natural processes.The
report,The State of the World's Mangroves 2024,examines global changes in mangrove
ecosystems over the past two decades.
Agricultural activities,including aquaculture(水产养殖),oil palm plantations and rice
cultivation,accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020.
The report also highlights the impact of"natural retraction,"a term used to describe
mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels.

Nonetheless,changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results.The
rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%,falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000-2010 to
102.4 km2 per year in 2010-2020.Mangrove gains are also recorded in several regions,where
restoration efforts accounted for 25%-33%of mangrove expansion in South and Southeast Asia
and Africa.
Protecting mangroves requires action at every level.Governments can expand protected
areas and improve monitoring systems,while conservation project teams restore damaged
wetlands.Scientists develop real-time monitoring tools to detect mangrove loss.The report also
stresses the importance of cooperation with local communities.In some projects,community
members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves,causes of
loss,and seasonal coastal changes they have observed.They also provide data through citizen
science platforms like iNaturalist,helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects.
21.What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020?
A.38%.
B.47%.
C.49%.
D.62%.
22.What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades?
A.It worsened climate change.
B.It damaged local economy.
C.It expanded on a global scale.
D.It showed a downward trend
23.What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration?
A.Make restoration plans.
B.Share ecological information.
C.Establish protected areas.

At dinnertime,if I'm anywhere near my favourite restaurant,there's not a chance you can
talk me into going somewhere else-I want to eat at China Fun.Actually,I have been eating at
this restaurant for 17 years.
Don't get me wrong,trying new things is great,and I love exploring.But the pressure to
always keep trying new things ignores the satisfaction of finding our loves and keeping on
loving them.That's why I dislike pop-up restaurants.I'd much rather invest my time and money
in a place that will still be here next month,working my way through the menu to find my
favourite dishes,and figuring out which is the best table.In a chaotic world,being a regular
makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same.
In my mental map of the city,I mark all my favourites-cute bookshops,hidden gardens,
and the hotdog stand that's open only at weekends.To be a regular is to let a place become a
character in your life.The act of returning builds connection,and a sense of being at home as
you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you'll be having the usual.
Some things just get better the more you do them.While relaxing weekends offer the
promise of finding country paths for a wander,I would prefer revisiting a beloved walking route
as the seasons turn,noticing the subtle (changes in the same place.I've walked along
the Thames a hundred times,but the banks look different each time as the tides move to reveal or
conceal ()It feels like spending time with a friend.The river is alive,and each time we
meet,we grow closer.
I discovered a little local cafe recently.After several visits,Kirsty,the resident cafe cat,has
2026年深圳市高三年级第二次调研考试英语试题第2页(共8页)
finally started acknowledging my presence.The other repeat customers have also started
nodding at me.They were here first and this is their cafe.Now they seem to be saying,"Have a
seat,stay a while,and come back soon."
24.What does the author's restaurant preference show?
A.He is a creature of habit.
B.He is strictly self-disciplined
C.He loves exploring new things.
D.He favours Asian cuisine most.
25.What does the underlined word"character"in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Reward.
B.Souvenir.
C.Symbol.
D.Companion
26.How does the author find the walking route along the Thames?
A.Crowded but comforting.
B.Familiar but refreshing.
C.Winding but approachable.
D.Exhausting but adventurous
27.What message does this text mainly convey?
A.Satisfaction exists in the present.
B.Shared experiences build bonds.
C.Possibilities hide in the unknown.
D.Repeat visits deepen appreciation.

It's Monday morning again.Like many others,you spend your weekend resting,say,
scrolling on your phone,but somehow when the workweek arrives,you never feel as refreshed
as you hoped.You wonder:Is there a better way to recharge?Now research suggests the answer
is"yes"and it lies in leisure crafting.
Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time,but how you do it.It involves
structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual
goals,promote social connections,and build skills.The idea is not to completely shift your
approach to free time-or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific
goals.Like to run?Try training for a race.Enjoy reading?Aim to read a certain number of books
every month.
Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its
way into personal lives.But done right,it can help you feel a sense of purpose,confidence,and
accomplishment,says Alex Hamrick,a management professor at the University of Richmond.
Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that
individuals reported higher energy levels,more positive moods,and stronger overall well-being
after engaging in leisure crafting.
While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting,it is still simply that:leisure.
The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job.Research has shown that people's productivity
tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week.Expanding the hours spent maximizing output,even
in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels,could make you
more tired.Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work,it might be time to
stop.Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation.
A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a
recreational goal as a diversion from the screen.Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft,
that simple one may be among the most relevant.

Nitrogen fertiliser (is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy
environmental price,contributing to water pollution and soil degradation.However,simply
reducing its use is not a solution.Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more
in root growth to search for nutrients,often at the expense of shoot()development and
grain production.While adaptive in the wild,this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural
productivity.
For decades,the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown.In a new study,researchers
from Nanjing Agricultural University,the University of Oxford,and the Chinese Academy of
Sciences not only identified the gene responsible,but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can
ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low.The breakthrough
could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers.
In experiments,the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED/a has distinct roles in
the shoot and root.In the shoot,it switches on NGR5,a key gene that promotes branching.In the
roots,WRINKLED/a supports nitrogen uptake,but also prevents the formation of a protein
complex that would otherwise limit root growth.Interestingly,WRINKLED/a does not prevent
this protein complex in the shoot,showing that its roles are tissue-specific.
From over 3,000 rice varieties,the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene
and used traditional plant breeding (to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form.Over
three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces,China,rice plants with this improved version
maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions,resulting in
a 23.7%yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9%increase under high fertiliser use.
Lead author Dr.Shan Li noted that WRINKLEDIa helps rice avoid the usual "more roots,
less shoot"situation under nitrogen limitation,supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen
inputs."The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops,such as wheat and
corn,can be used to achieve the same outcomes,"she added.

For years,I kept a careful distance from the people around me.Living in a busy city
apartment,I learned to move through shared spaces quietly.36 It wasn't that I disliked
others;keeping to myself just seemed easier.Independence mattered to me,and needing no one
felt like part of being a grown-up.
37 Without warning,the power went out.The building fell into complete darkness.
I sat alone in my apartment,the cold air pressing in as my phone went dead.The silence was
familiar.Yet this time,it seemed different.Less comforting.More exposed.
A soft knock broke the stillness.It was my neighbour from 3B,someone I recognised but
hardly knew.She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway
and invited me to join them.I hesitated.Staying alone felt safe,but something felt unsettled.
38
People sat on the floor,sharing blankets,tea,and quiet conversation.I listened more than I
spoke.The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry
sense of humour.39 I realized how easily distance can turn into detachment ()
When the lights finally returned,the hallway looked the same,but it felt different.I didn't
suddenly become outgoing,nor did I abandon my need for space.40 It's about knowing
when to let them in.Now,when I step into the elevator,I don't automatically lower my eyes.
Sometimes,I look up.
A.After a moment,I stepped outside.
B.I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation
C.I began to question my decision to join the conversation.
D.Most neighbours in the building kept to themselves as well.
E.As the night progressed,my long-held belief began to loosen.
F.But I understood something new:maturity isn't about shutting others out.
G.That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city.

His disciples (then stepped onto the stage,delivering forceful performances with

As the performance unfolded,the audience learned that the decline of the Tang Dynasty
forced court musicians to leave the palace.They carried the drum music 61 them
and brought it into ordinary communities.62 had once belonged to the court

root in Xi'an.The message was clear and touching:music is meant63(share).
Toward the end,when the performers revealed how many years they had spent
practising,the audience was deeply moved and responded with enthusiastic64

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。
Mark had a secret:he couldn't ride a bike.It wasn't because he never tried.His father
taught him one summer when he was seven.He ran alongside him,holding the seat,and
shouting“Keep pedalling(踩踏板)I"But Mark's balance was terrible..He fell into the bushes,
and both knees bled.After two weeks of trying,his dad sighed,"Maybe next year."But that
"next year"never came.The childhood shame stayed with him.
Then,he grew up and had a family of his own.He never shared the secret with anyone but
his wife,Lena.Most of the time,it didn't matter.When friends invited him on bike trips,he
volunteered to drive and bring snacks.When the kids were old enough to learn to ride,Lena
offered to teach them.
But lately,his twelve-year-old daughter Alice and seven-year-old son Bob were planning
the first-ever“Family Bike Adventure..”They had picked a campsite(营地)by the lake and
mapped a biking route around it.Every night,they'd argue about who would win the family race.
Mark smiled through every conversation,but inside,his stomach tightened.In every other way,
Mark was a perfect dad.He never missed a school event and could fix everything in the house.
Admitting he couldn't ride?That was hard.
So he made a plan.After the kids went to bed,he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the
empty market parking lot to practise.But thirty years after that summer,his body still
remembered nothing.The bike seemed to have a mind of its own,and he just couldn't control it.
His legs shook.His hands ached.Sometimes he would crash into the wall.
The next day,Alice,a considerate girl,asked about his bruised knees.But he said
nothing.After several nights,Lena said to him,"You don't have to do this.The kids don't care.
No one can do everything."Mark shook his head."They think I can.Let me try a little longer."
One night,after he fell off the bike again,he heard a voice."Dad?"His heart stopped.
