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. The global drivers of mangrove loss 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. 1. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020? A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%. 2. 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. 3. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration? A. Make restoration plans. B. Share ecological information. C. Establish protected areas. D. Update monitoring equipment. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕红树林生态系统展开，介绍了2000-2020年红树林减少的驱动因素变化、减少速率的改善趋势，并阐述了政府、科研团队及当地社区在红树林保护与修复中的作用。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (在 2000 年至 2020 年期间，包括水产养殖、油棕种植园和水稻种植在内的农业活动是造成全球红树林损失的主要原因。)”以及饼状图2010-2020年的数据，农业活动相关的红树林减少驱动因素包括：水产养殖（Aquaculture）21%、油棕种植（Oil palm）14%、水稻种植（Rice）3%。将三者相加：21% + 14% + 3% = 38%。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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. (红树林净减少率下降了44%，从2000-2010年的每年181.5平方公里降至2010-2020年的每年102.4平方公里。)”可知，红树林减少速率呈现明显下降趋势。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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. (在一些项目中，社区成员通过描述红树林的历史分布、减少原因和他们观察到的季节性海岸变化来贡献知识，还通过公民科学平台如iNaturalist提供数据，帮助研究人员制定更有效的修复计划。)”可知，当地社区成员可通过分享生态相关信息与数据来支持红树林修复工作。 B 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 (微妙的) 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 (隐藏). 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 café recently. After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.” 4. 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. 5. What does the underlined word “character” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Reward. B. Souvenir. C. Symbol. D. Companion. 6. 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. 7. 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. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者对常去熟悉地方的喜爱，强调重复到访能加深对事物的欣赏。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years.(事实上，我在这家餐厅吃了17年了)”以及第二段“In a chaotic world, being a regular makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same. (在这个混乱的世界里，经常去一个地方让我觉得总有一些地方是一成不变的)”可知，作者喜欢去常去的餐厅，这表明他是一个习惯于常规的人。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“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. (经常去一个地方就是让这个地方成为你生活中的character。回来的行为建立了联系，让你有一种宾至如归的感觉，在你安顿下来，和服务员点头示意之后，他才会问你是否还像往常一样)”可知，作者认为经常去一个地方会让这个地方成为生活中的一个陪伴者，character在此处指“陪伴者，同伴”，与companion意义相近。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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 (微妙的) 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 (隐藏). (虽然放松的周末提供了找到乡间小路漫步的希望，但随着季节的变化，我更愿意重新审视一条心爱的步行路线，注意到同一个地方微妙的变化。我沿着泰晤士河走了一百次，但每次潮汐移动时，河岸看起来都不一样)”可知，作者认为泰晤士河沿岸的步行路线既熟悉又每次都有新发现，即熟悉但令人耳目一新。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.”(经过几次拜访，咖啡馆的常客猫咪Kirsty终于开始注意到我的存在了。其他常客也开始向我点头。他们先来的，这是他们的咖啡馆。现在他们似乎在说:“请坐，待一会儿，很快就回来。”)”以及文章内容可知，本文围绕反复回访喜爱的餐馆、步道、小店展开，主要传达的信息是重复到访能加深对事物的欣赏。 C 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. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples. 11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why commitment is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了休闲规划这一概念，包括其定义、特点、益处以及实施时的注意事项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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? (和许多人一样，你周末休息，比如刷手机，但不知为何，当工作日到来时，你从未感到像自己希望的那样精神焕发。你想知道：有没有更好的恢复精力的方法？)”可知，第一段描述的现象是缺乏有效的休息方式。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (休闲规划不在于你在空闲时间做什么，而在于你如何做。它涉及以有意图的方式构建你已经喜欢做的事情，以便它们帮助你设定个人目标、促进社交联系和培养技能。)”可知，休闲规划的主要特点是有目的地行动。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“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. (研究人员对2400多名职场人士进行了11项实地研究，发现参与休闲规划后，个人的能量水平更高、情绪更积极、整体幸福感更强。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是休闲规划的益处。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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. (虽然休闲规划需要投入和设定目标，但它仍然只是休闲。目标不是把爱好变成第二份工作。研究表明，人们的工作效率在一周60小时后往往会停止增长。即使是为了完善烹饪技巧或阅读侦探小说而延长工作时间，也可能会让你更累。)”可知，作者提到第四段的研究是为了警告不要过度进行休闲规划。 D Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) 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 (茎叶) 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 WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a 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 (育种) 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 WRINKLED1a 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. 12. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on? A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand. C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact. 13. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a? A. Its function varies in different tissues. B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot. C. It promotes protein complex formation. D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots. 14. What might the study help to do according to the text? A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming. C. Justify nitrogen fertiliser use. D. Advance rice breeding methods. 15. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest? A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings. C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕农作物在缺氮环境下的根冠权衡现象展开，介绍科研团队成功锁定调控该现象的关键基因，改良水稻品种实现减肥增产，并展望该研究在其他农作物上的后续应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers 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. (几十年来，控制这种根冠权衡的基因一直不为人知。在一项新研究中，研究人员不仅找到了关键基因，还证实改良水稻中的该基因，能让水稻在低氮环境下依旧维持茎叶正常生长与产量稳定。)”可知，这项新研究聚焦根冠权衡背后的基因运作机制。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific. (有趣的是，WRINKLED1a基因不会在茎叶组织中抑制该蛋白质复合体的形成，这表明它的功能具有组织特异性。)”可知，该基因在不同植物组织中作用不同。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers. (这一突破最终有望减少农业对人工化肥的依赖。)”以及第四段“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.(在中国海南省和安徽省的三次田间试验中，使用这种改进版本的水稻在不同的氮肥条件下保持了更稳定的根冠平衡，在低化肥使用下产量增加了23.7%，在高化肥使用下增加了19.9%。)”可知，该研究能够减少化肥使用、兼顾增产与生态保护，助力可持续农业发展。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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. (下一步我们将研究小麦、玉米等其他农作物中是否存在同类基因，能否复刻相同的增产效果。)”可知，Shan Li博士的话指明了后续进一步研究的发展方向。 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。 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. ____16____ 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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ 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. ____19____ I realized how easily distance can turn into detachment (疏离). 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. ____20____ 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. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者长期刻意疏远身边邻居，一场暴风雨停电的经历，让其打破隔阂，领悟到成熟并非封闭自我。 【16题详解】 上文“For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me.

His father taught him one summer when he was seven. He ran alongside him, holding the seat, and shouting “Keep pedalling (踩踏板)!” 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 (淤青的) 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. 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。 It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. She happened to see him leave at night and the bruises on his knees made her worried. “Dad, what are you doing?” she asked. Mark picked up the bike slowly and asked her to sit down with him. Then he told her everything — the summer at seven, the years of excuses, the fear of letting them down. Alice listened quietly. When he finished, he felt a little embarrassed. But Alice just hugged him. “Dad, we don’t care whether you can ride,” she whispered. “We just want you to be with us.” Mark hugged her back, his throat tight. “Okay,” he said softly. “Of course, I’ll be there.” (107词) That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. He set up the tent, lit the campfire, and started cooking dinner: steak, chicken wings, hot dogs, hot chocolate — everything the kids loved. An hour later, the kids came riding back, tired and hungry. “Daddy! I’m starving!” Bob shouted, grabbing a piece of steak. Alice drank the hot chocolate, leaning against him. “You are the best dad in the world,” she whispered. That night, watching his children sleep soundly, Mark smiled. He couldn’t ride a bike. But he could take good care of the family. And that was enough.

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. The global drivers of mangrove loss 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. 1. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020? A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%. 2. 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. 3. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration? A. Make restoration plans. B. Share ecological information. C. Establish protected areas. D. Update monitoring equipment. B 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 (微妙的) 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 (隐藏). 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 café recently. After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.” 4. 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. 5. What does the underlined word “character” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Reward. B. Souvenir. C. Symbol. D. Companion. 6. 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. 7. 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. C 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. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples. 11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why commitment is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. D Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) 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 (茎叶) 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 WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a 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 (育种) 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 WRINKLED1a 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. 12. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on? A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand. C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact. 13. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a? A. Its function varies in different tissues. B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot. C. It promotes protein complex formation. D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots. 14. What might the study help to do according to the text? A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming. C. Justify nitrogen fertiliser use. D. Advance rice breeding methods. 15. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest? A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings. C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study. 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。 For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me.

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)!” 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 (淤青的) 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. 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。 It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
