On a cold misty morning,I was patrolling the woodland trail when I caught sight of a small red fox.It was sitting quietly beside an old pine tree,staring at me with bright round eyes.Instead of running away immediately as most wild animals did,it tilted its head curiously,as if studying a stranger. I froze,holding my breath,afraid that any small movement would scare it off. Slowly,I lowered my body and kept still.Minutes passed gently.To my surprise,the fox took a few careful steps toward me.Its fur shone softly in the weak sunlight filtering through the leaves.I 第4页共12页 架 扫描全能王创建 could cven notice the tiny white spots on its tail.It stopped just several meters away,watching me without fear.At that moment,all my worries and tiredness melted into the quictness of the forest. Before long,a soft call came from the distant bushes.The fox turned its head,then glanced back at me once more.It waved its tail lightly and ran off into the woods,disappearing among the fallen leaves.I stood there for a long time,filled with warmth and amazement. Nature is not merely a landscape we admire from afar.It is a world full of gentle lives.That short meeting taught me that respect and silence are the best bridges between humans and wild creatures.We live together on the same earth,and peaceful coexistence is the most precious gift we can share. 24.Why did the author go to the forest reserve? A.To research wild animals. B.To get away from urban pressure. C.To learn to survive in the wild. D.To take photos,of natural scenery. 25.What surprised the author about the little fox? A.It had special white tail fur. B.It hid behind a pine tree bravely. C.It showed little fear of humans. D.It ran away at once when seeing him. 26.What made the author feel warm and amazed? A.The quiet beauty of the woodland. B.The fox's gentle and close interaction. C.The soft sunlight through leaves. D.The sound from the distant bushes. 27.What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A.Wild animals are actually easy to get close to. B.Forests provide people with spiritual relaxation. C.We should respect and live in peace with nature. D.Volunteering can bring people unexpected fun. C Wild cats showcase a surprising diversity of eye colors,proving a mystery for researchers.Most wild species are known to have narrow eye color ranges,usually black,brown,or yellow.Eye colors' evolution is hard to track.Fossils don't preserve it;preserved samples have artificial eyes;most books illustrate only one example per species.Now,scientists have used abundant online photographs of wild cats to chart the transition from brown eyes to colors such as green and blue-and found something of 第5页共12页 架 扫描全能王创建 a gray area. Any animal's eye color is determined by its levels of two melanin pigments () cumelanin,which makes brown-black,and pheomelanin,which makes red-yellow.Eye colors vary according to the amounts of each,with different combinations leading to colors such as bluc,green,and gray.Scientists,Tabin and Katherinc,used a process called ancestral statc reconstruction to determine the cye colors of extinct wild cat specics based on those of their living descendants.They examined the clearest images submitted to the database iNaturalist,then classified each cat's eye color,and mapped the data to the cat family tree,using an algorithm (to find each common ancestor's possible cye colors.The algorithm accounted for the likelihood of certain changes and figured in the time since species separated in order to generate the likeliest colors at every split. "It's a way we can actually look into the eyes of the wild cat's ancestor,"Tabin says."The ancestor developed gray eyes,and then the eye color diversity just exploded."Once an eye with moderate amounts of both cumelanin and pheomelanin appeared(producing gray eyes),blue and green were not far behind. The scientists next tried to connect the discovered eye colors with numerous factors,including habitat,fur color,and hunting behavior,to help explain why those shades had evolved.But they found little correlation."Siberian dogs have those bright blue eyes because we wanted them to and bred them accordingly,but in wild cats,I have no idea what's going on here,"Tabin says.Perhaps cats prefer particular eye colors in mates-but it would be challenging to test. 28.Why do wild cats'eye colors puzzle researchers? A.Their diversity contradicts expected patterns. B.Fossils cannot preserve eye color information. C.Too many species exist to compare effectively. D.Lighting conditions alter colors in online photos. 29.How did the scientists conduct their study on wild cats'eye colors? A.By observing fossil records of extinct cats. B.By analyzing photos from an online database. C.By examining melanin pigments in living cats. D.By studying artificial eyes of preserved samples. 30.What can we learn about the evolution of wild cats'eye colors from Tabin's words? A.Extinct cats had only one eye color type. B.Gray eyes led to different eye colors later. C.Blue and green eyes appeared before gray eyes. D.Gray eyes came from high melanin pigment amounts. 第6页共12页 扫描全能王创建 31.How docs Tabin fecl about the cvolution of wild cats'eye colors? A.Plcased. B.Relieved. C.Frightened. D.Confused. D Nowadays,tccnagers'social lives have grown online.While social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok offer new ways to connect,they also bring challenges to the development of social skills. Face-to-face communication requires the ability to"read"a conversation in real-time.You notice body languagc,tone of voice,.and immediatc reactions..These non-verbal(非言语的)signals are largely absent in text-based communication.As a result,heavy social media users might find it harder to hold a conversation in person or understand these social signals. Besides,the pressure to present a perfect life online can cause anxiety.Teens may feel they are in constant compctition with their peers,leading to lower self-csteem ()The term "FOMO"(Fear Of Missing Out)describes the anxiety that comes from seeing others post about exciting events you weren't invited to. However,it's not all negative.Social media can help shy people build confidence by allowing them to communicate at their own speed.It also helps keep long-distance friendships.The key is balance. Experts suggest that parents and educators should guide teens to use these tools positively. Encouraging offline activities,setting time limits,and having open conversations about online experiences are important steps.The goal is not to remove technology from their lives,but to teach them to use it in a way that supports,rather than hinders,their real-world social development. 32.What is the main disadvantage of text-based communication mentioned in the passage? A.It is not private enough. B.It doesn't need social skills. B.It has hardly any non-verbal signals. D.It causes misunderstandings. 33.What does"FOMO"cause among teenagers? A.A wish to travel. B.More online friendships. C.Improved social skills. D.Anxiety and lower self-esteem. 34.What is the writer's attitude towards social media? A.Uninterested. B.Objective. C.Negative. D.Supportive. 35.What docs the underlined word "hinders"in the last paragraph mean? A.Prevents. B.Determines. C.Improves. D.Encourages. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 第7页共12页 扫描全能王创建 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。 At Zack's Fincst Deli Grocery,the owner,Wail Alselwi,is giving more than just sandwiches -he's giving hope.His"Grades for Grabs"program rewards (students with strong report cards, and his generous actions have carncd him widespread praise as a true community hero. 36His different reward system rccognizes kids across various academic levels: Students with 90%+averages receive $100,snacks,and a custom T-shirt;kids with 80%-90%can pick anything from the store;those with 70%-80%get to choose up to $10 worth of items.

Luckily,I soon found a perfect rental room through an ad.My landlady,Madame Dupont,a cheerful French woman,greeted me with a warm smile.She told me it was just her and her 7-year- old daughter Lila living in the house,and that her husband,Pierre,was a nurse in another city who worked permanent night shifts and was often tied up with his demanding schedule.She patiently introduced the family routine and the routes to my college.I felt at home immediately and signed the rental contract on the spot. Madame Dupont was like family to me.She helped me practice my French every evening,taught 第11页共12页 扫描全能王创建 me about French life,and even drove me to the supermarket.Lila was energetic and enthusiastic and always a joy to be around.Our friendship almost began on the first day I moved in.She knocked at my door politcly,sat close to me and eagerly shared stories about her friends,her pets and everything interesting.We laughed a lot,which really lit up my days far from home.Somctimes,Lila was quiet, just whispering to me how she missed her dear dad.I tried to comfort her,and each heart-to-heart talk drew us closer together.
