With no formal scientific training, she developed an unusual approach to studying gorillas: integration, seeking to bridge the divide between humans and the animals. This meant patiently copying their behavior — chewing wild grass, making deep sounds, and even moving on all fours — until the gorillas gradually accepted her presence. In time, the animals she approached were no longer seen as fierce, but instead revealed their gentle and social nature. But the paradise Fossey found was under threat. Illegal hunters, armed with arrows and traps, pushed deeper into the forest. In 1978, a young gorilla named Digit, whom she had known since it was born, was killed. A profound and personal sorrow seemed to harden her resolve. Her focus shifted decisively from observation to direct action. Fossey’s battle against illegal hunting consumed her life. She began capturing and questioning illegal hunters, burning down their camps, and pretending to use black magic to make locals believe she was a witch. Her intense methods created tension with others who preferred tourism and education as a way to protect the gorillas. Fossey saw tourism as a direct threat. Isolated at her research center, she grew more convinced that only direct action could save the gorillas. This earned her many enemies. On December 26, 1985, her lonely struggle ended in violence. She was found murdered in her cabin. The crime was never solved-many believe it was linked to illegal hunting, smuggling (走私), or conflicts over land and money. As her former assistant said, she was “standing in the way of certain individuals making money”. She was buried beside her gorilla friends like Digit, and her legacy lives on in these mountains. Though she did not live to see it, her fierce devotion inspired a global movement that saved the species from extinction. 4. Why did Fossey imitate gorillas’ behavior? A. To study their eating habit. B. To prove gorillas were gentle creatures. C. To gain gorillas’ trust. D. To feel more comfortable in jungle. 5. What directly caused Fossey’s change in protection methods? A. The death of a gorilla close to her. B. Tragedy in her personal life. C. Her desire to gain local recognition. D. Disagreements with tourism supporters. 6. Which of the following best describes Fossey’s strategy? A. A direct solution to gorilla extinction. B. A scientific and cooperative model. C. A universally accepted approach. D. A great success at a personal cost. 7. What kind of person was Dian Fossey? A. Gentle and cooperative. B. Determined and extreme. C. Curious and humorous. D. Cautious and passive. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述戴安・福西在卢旺达研究并保护山地大猩猩的经历，她采取极端直接的保护方式，最终以身殉职，其精神拯救了这一濒危物种。 【4题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“With no formal scientific training, she developed an unusual approach to studying gorillas: integration, seeking to bridge the divide between humans and the animals. This meant patiently copying their behavior — chewing wild grass, making deep sounds, and even moving on all fours — until the gorillas gradually accepted her presence.(她没有接受过正规的科学训练，却开创了一种不同寻常的大猩猩研究方法：融入式研究法，旨在弥合人类与这些动物之间的隔阂。这意味着她要耐心模仿它们的行为 —— 咀嚼野草、发出低沉的叫声，甚至四肢着地爬行 —— 直到大猩猩们逐渐接受了她的存在。)”可知，她模仿大猩猩行为是为了获得它们的信任。 【5题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“In 1978, a young gorilla named Digit, whom she had known since it was born, was killed. A profound and personal sorrow seemed to harden her resolve. Her focus shifted decisively from observation to direct action.(1978年，她从小看着长大的年轻大猩猩迪吉特被杀害。深切的个人悲痛坚定了她的决心，她的工作重心从观察研究彻底转向直接行动。)”可知，与她关系亲密的大猩猩之死直接导致了她保护方式的转变。 【6题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段“Fossey’s battle against illegal hunting consumed her life.(福西与非法狩猎的斗争耗尽了她的一生。)”以及最后一段“Though she did not live to see it, her fierce devotion inspired a global movement that saved the species from extinction.(尽管她没能亲眼见证这一切，但她满腔的热忱与奉献，催生了一场全球性保护运动，使该物种免遭灭绝。)”可知，她的保护策略以个人生命为代价，最终取得了拯救物种的巨大成功。 【7题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段“A profound and personal sorrow seemed to harden her resolve. Her focus shifted decisively from observation to direct action. Fossey’s battle against illegal hunting consumed her life.(深切的悲痛坚定了她的决心，她从观察研究彻底转向直接行动，与非法狩猎的斗争耗尽了她的一生。)”可知，她为了保护大猩猩，不惜付出一切，甚至生命，意志极其坚定；根据第二段“She began capturing and questioning illegal hunters, burning down their camps, and pretending to use black magic to make locals believe she was a witch. Her intense methods created tension with others who preferred tourism and education as a way to protect the gorillas.(她开始抓捕并审问非法猎人，烧毁他们的营地，甚至假装使用黑魔法让当地人相信她是女巫。这些激烈的手段与那些主张通过旅游和教育保护大猩猩的人产生了严重分歧。)”可知，她的保护方式非常极端，不被所有人接受。 C A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one dry bush to another. As it approaches the first house, the plants around it catch fire, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to do so: any small flames along its walls quickly die out. There’s no water in sight — the flames are put out by sound waves. This scene is not science fiction. Engineers at an American tech company built a device using low-frequency sound waves to fight fires. “It’s basically vibrating (震动) the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, blocking the chemical reaction,” explains Geoff Bruder, an aerospace engineer who once studied heat engines for NASA. Fire needs heat, fuel and oxygen; taking one of these away will stop the fire. Sound waves push oxygen away from the fuel, preventing the fire getting the air it needs to continue its burning. The company has demonstrated a fire control from as far as 25 feet away. Using sound against fire isn’t new. A U. S. defense research agency studied it over a decade ago. However, a major challenge is to scale up the technology without creating loud or even damaging sound effects. The company overcame this by using infrasound — sound waves at 20 hertz (赫兹) or lower, which humans cannot hear. These waves also travel farther than higher-frequency sounds. The device looks like a metal box attached to the roof. When heat sensors detect a flame, an electric motor drives a piston (活塞) to create infrasound, which travels through metal tubes on the roof, creating a “force field” to put out the fire and prevent the building catching another fire. Experts note that while sound waves can effectively influence fire, they currently work best on smaller flames. Nevertheless, homeowners and large energy companies are game to give it a try: The company is working with two California power suppliers and plans to install fifty pilot units early in 2026. 8. What does the passage begin with? A. A historical review. B. A personal anecdote. C. A scientific explanation. D. A descriptive situation. 9. What is the basic principle behind sound-based firefighting? A. It removes the burning material. B. It cools the fire with vibrations. C. It separates oxygen from the fuel. D. It blocks the heat with natural force. 10. What is a key feature of infrasound? A. It is silent to human ear. B. It is of high-frequency. C. It travels at a fast speed. D. It requires loud volumes. 11. What does “game” in paragraph 6 most likely mean? A. Pleased. B. Ready. C. Afraid. D. Unwilling. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文介绍了美国科技公司研发的利用次声波灭火的新技术。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one dry bush to another. As it approaches the first house, the plants around it catch fire, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to do so: any small flames along its walls quickly die out. There’s no water in sight — the flames are put out by sound waves.(一场野火在洛杉矶郊区的山丘上燃烧，它从一棵干枯的灌木丛蔓延至另一棵。当它逼近第一座房屋时，周围的植物着火了，但房屋本身却顽固地拒绝燃烧：房屋的墙壁上任何小的火苗很快就会熄灭。这里看不到水——火焰是靠声波扑灭的)”可知，文章开头描绘了洛杉矶郊区野火逼近房屋、声波灭火的具体场景，是描述性场景，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sound waves push oxygen away from the fuel, preventing the fire getting the air it needs to continue its burning.(声波会将氧气从燃料处推开，从而阻止火势获取继续燃烧所需的空气)”可知，声波灭火的原理是声波将氧气推离燃料，切断燃烧所需的氧气，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The company overcame this by using infrasound — sound waves at 20 hertz (赫兹) or lower, which humans cannot hear.(该公司通过使用次声波解决了这个问题——这种声波的频率在 20 赫兹或更低，人类无法听到)”可知，人类听不见次声波，故选A。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The company is working with two California power suppliers and plans to install fifty pilot units early in2026.(该公司正在与加利福尼亚的两家电力供应商合作，并计划在2026年初安装50个试点设备)”可知，此处指“房主和大型能源公司都愿意尝试一下”，game意为“愿意的”，故选B。 D One of the reasons why astronomers like to put telescopes in space is that the “seeing” is better. With no turbulent (湍流的) atmosphere in the way the stars shine steadily, rather than twinkling as they do when seen from the ground. But it is not just an atmosphere that can ruin the seeing. The rapidly growing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit is already causing problems for ground-based telescopes, which find their images contaminated by streaks of sunlight reflected off passing satellites. Now, a paper published in Nature suggests that could soon become a serious problem for space-going telescopes as well. Alejandro Borlaff and his colleagues at NASA’s Ames Research Centre, in California, searched regulatory filings to work out just how many satellites might be in orbit by the end of the next decade. Numbers are already exploding. In 2018 there were around 2,000 satellites in orbit. These days there are more than 9,000 of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites alone. Starlink is growing fast, and SpaceX has filed paperwork for as many as 42,000 satellites. Others such as OneWeb, Amazon, Qianfan and Guowang are also building “mega-constellations” (巨星星座). In total Dr Borlaff reckons there could be around half a million satellites in low orbits — below about 2,000 kilometres — by 2040. Exactly how bothersome the satellites will be depends on factors such as how high a telescope flies and whether it has a wide or narrow field of view. Calculating the numbers, the researchers concluded that around a third of Hubble images could be affected. That sounds bad enough. But if anything, the Hubble gets off lightly. What to do? SpaceX has tried to make its satellites less reflective, though with limited success, notes Dr Borlaff. Coordination and data-sharing can help. Astronomers armed with details of a mega-constellation’s orbits can time their observations to minimise interference. But that solution does not scale well, says Dr Borlaff: eventually the sky becomes so crowded that avoidance is impossible. 12. What serious problem may space telescopes soon face? A. They may lose contact with Earth because of satellite signals. B. Their images may be polluted by sunlight reflected from satellites. C. They may run out of energy due to the growing number of satellites. D. Their orbits may be changed by nearby satellites. 13. What do the numbers mentioned in Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly show? A. The cost of launching satellites has risen quickly. B. The number of satellites in orbit is increasing dramatically. C. Different countries are competing to launch satellites. D. Satellites are becoming smaller and more advanced. 14. What is Dr Borlaff’s attitude toward the proposed solutions? A. Optimistic B. Doubtful C. Indifferent D. Supportive 15. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Rapid Development of Satellite Internet B. Why Astronomers Prefer Telescopes in Space C. The Future of Space Telescopes D. The Impact of numerous Satellites on Astronomy 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了低轨道卫星数量激增，不仅影响地面望远镜的观测，也将对太空望远镜的成像造成干扰，同时探讨了可能的应对措施及其局限性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The rapidly growing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit is already causing problems for ground-based telescopes, which find their images contaminated by streaks of sunlight reflected off passing satellites. Now, a paper published in Nature suggests that could soon become a serious problem for space-going telescopes as well.(近地轨道上快速增长的卫星数量已经给地面望远镜带来了问题，它们的图像被经过的卫星反射的阳光条纹污染。现在，发表在《自然》上的一篇论文表明，这很快也会成为太空望远镜的一个严重问题。)”可知，太空望远镜很快可能面临的问题是图像被卫星反射的阳光污染。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2018 there were around 2,000 satellites in orbit. These days there are more than 9,000 of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites alone.(2018年，轨道上大约有2000颗卫星。如今，仅SpaceX的星链互联网卫星就有9000多颗。)”以及第四段“In total Dr Borlaff reckons there could be around half a million satellites in low orbits — below about 2,000 kilometres — by 2040.(Borlaff博士估计，到2040年，低轨道——约2000公里以下——总共可能会有大约50万颗卫星。)”可知，这些数字主要表明轨道上的卫星数量正在急剧增加。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But that solution does not scale well, says Dr Borlaff: eventually the sky becomes so crowded that avoidance is impossible.(但Borlaff博士表示，这种解决方案的扩展性不佳：最终天空会变得过于拥挤，以至于无法避开。)”可知，Borlaff博士对提出的解决方案持怀疑态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The rapidly growing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit is already causing problems for ground-based telescopes, which find their images contaminated by streaks of sunlight reflected off passing satellites. Now, a paper published in Nature suggests that could soon become a serious problem for space-going telescopes as well.(近地轨道上快速增长的卫星数量已经给地面望远镜带来了问题，它们的图像被经过的卫星反射的阳光条纹污染。现在，发表在《自然》上的一篇论文表明，这很快也会成为太空望远镜的一个严重问题。)”可知，本文主要讨论了大量卫星对天文学的影响；D选项“The Impact of numerous Satellites on Astronomy(大量卫星对天文学的影响)”最能概括全文主旨。 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。 In a time when celebrities, social media influencers, and famous personalities seem like they are just a click away, it’s easy to understand how emotional bonds with public figures have become more personal and complex than ever. ____16____ The term was coined in 1956 when televisions became widely available, and TV viewers began to develop the sense of false closeness with the characters on the screen. The parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships in which a person develops a strong sense of connection or familiarity with someone they don’t know, most often celebrities or media personalities. ____17____ They experience a bond that lacks reciprocity (互惠). There is no firm conclusion regarding why people develop parasocial relationships. ____18____ When so much of our time is spent online or watching TV or movies, we’re naturally likely to recognize the faces we repeatedly see and develop warm feelings for them. Another possible cause is loneliness. Some research suggests that the lonelier an individual feels, the more likely they are to engage in parasocial relationships, seeking a connection in some form, if not in real life. ____19____ Some researchers have found that highly social individuals who are more likely to form friendships and relationships in real life are also more likely to form parasocial relationships. There is also the belief that parasocial relationships can simply be less demanding and more fun than real-life relationships. ____20____ Plus the subjects of parasocial relationships are typically talented, beautiful, or funny. Originally believed to be unhealthy due to their one-sided nature, these parasocial relationships are typically harmless and, in fact, quite common. A. Other research contradicts the idea. B. They contribute to real-life relationships. C. These are known as parasocial relationships. D. Parasocial relationships can certainly have benefits. E. But one is that the human brain developed to be social. F. These relationships exist only in the mind of the individual. G. There are no conflicts or maintenance that need to be attended to. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍拟社会关系的定义、起源，分析其形成的多种原因，并指出这类单向关系普遍且大多无害。 【16题详解】 根据上文“it’s easy to understand how emotional bonds with public figures have become more personal and complex than ever.(人们与公众人物的情感联结变得愈发私人复杂)”以及下文“The term was coined in 1956...The parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships.(这个术语诞生于 1956 年，拟社会关系是一种单向关系)”可知，此处需要引出“拟社会关系”这一核心概念。C选项“These are known as parasocial relationships.(这些被称为拟社会关系)”承接上文的情感联结现象，引出下文专有名词，衔接自然。 【17题详解】 根据上文对拟社会关系单向属性的定义，以及下文 “They experience a bond that lacks reciprocity.(他们拥有一段缺乏互惠性的联结)”可知，此处需进一步说明这类关系的特点。F选项“These relationships exist only in the mind of the individual.(这些关系只存在于个人的意识中)”符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“There is no firm conclusion regarding why people develop parasocial relationships.(人们形成拟社会关系的原因尚无定论)”以及后文介绍的具体成因可知，此处需要转折引出其中一个原因。E选项 “But one is that the human brain developed to be social.(但其中一个原因是人类大脑生来具有社交属性)”过渡自然，引出下文内容。 【19题详解】 根据上文孤独的人更容易建立拟社会关系，以及下文“Some researchers have found that highly social individuals who are more likely to form friendships and relationships in real life are also more likely to form parasocial relationships.(一些研究人员发现，那些擅长社交、更容易在现实生活中结交朋友、建立人际关系的人，也更容易产生拟社会关系)”可知，前后观点相反。A选项“Other research contradicts the idea.(另有研究反驳了这一观点)”形成转折对比，贴合上下文逻辑，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据上文“parasocial relationships can simply be less demanding and more fun than real-life relationships.(拟社会关系比现实关系要求更低、更有趣)”可知，此处要具体解释该优势。G选项“There are no conflicts or maintenance that need to be attended to.(没有矛盾，也无需费心维系)”具体解释了低要求的特点，与后文内容呼应。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The message came by email on a Friday. “Do you remember me?” wrote the sender.

It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for- that moment. We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station. Great, at least we could ask someone there for help! As we approached it, two men were refueling their Chevrolet car. We asked them how to get to Kvart. They didn’t reply but managed a friendly no d and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右;. (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then a familiar Chevrolet car pulled up beside us. It was the same car we had seen earlier at the gas station. The driver rolled down the window and waved at us with the other man beside him, saying a few words in Russian. Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw. Suddenly, my husband got an idea. He rummaged through the bag, pulled out the hotel card and pointed frantically to it with the repeated word “Kvart”, hoping they would understand. Thankfully, the driver nodded and the other man typed Kvart into his phone map and and showed us, as if asking us for confirmation. Seeing this, we nodded desperately and gave thumbs-up signs. Finally they understood what we meant. And more fortunately, they offered to escort us back to the hotel. The driver started the engine and the other man beside him occasionally glanced at us with a reassuring smile. We felt safe and secure, though the streets were still deserted and the rain was relentless. After what seemed like an eternity, we arrived and the rain began to let up. The driver parked the car and opened the door for us. We thanked them profusely, but they just smiled and left. We walked into the hotel, feeling exhausted but grateful. Angels had led us back to safety, and we knew that it was because we had trusted and believed in them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和丈夫在莫斯科旅行，半路下起了暴雨，两人被困在路上，还迷了路。这时一个好心的司机帮助了他们，送他们回到了安全的地方。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，一辆熟悉的雪佛兰汽车停在了我们旁边”可知，第一段可描写他们和司机交流的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们终于明白了我们的意思”可知，第二段可描写司机安全送回了他们，他们十分感激。 2.续写线索：司机出现——语言不通——指认地图——司机护送——作者感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grasp/seize ②求助于：resort to/turn to ③输入：type/text 情绪类 ①幸运：fortunately/luckily ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw.

With no formal scientific training, she developed an unusual approach to studying gorillas: integration, seeking to bridge the divide between humans and the animals. This meant patiently copying their behavior — chewing wild grass, making deep sounds, and even moving on all fours — until the gorillas gradually accepted her presence. In time, the animals she approached were no longer seen as fierce, but instead revealed their gentle and social nature. But the paradise Fossey found was under threat. Illegal hunters, armed with arrows and traps, pushed deeper into the forest. In 1978, a young gorilla named Digit, whom she had known since it was born, was killed. A profound and personal sorrow seemed to harden her resolve. Her focus shifted decisively from observation to direct action. Fossey’s battle against illegal hunting consumed her life. She began capturing and questioning illegal hunters, burning down their camps, and pretending to use black magic to make locals believe she was a witch. Her intense methods created tension with others who preferred tourism and education as a way to protect the gorillas. Fossey saw tourism as a direct threat. Isolated at her research center, she grew more convinced that only direct action could save the gorillas. This earned her many enemies. On December 26, 1985, her lonely struggle ended in violence. She was found murdered in her cabin. The crime was never solved-many believe it was linked to illegal hunting, smuggling (走私), or conflicts over land and money. As her former assistant said, she was “standing in the way of certain individuals making money”. She was buried beside her gorilla friends like Digit, and her legacy lives on in these mountains. Though she did not live to see it, her fierce devotion inspired a global movement that saved the species from extinction. 4. Why did Fossey imitate gorillas’ behavior? A. To study their eating habit. B. To prove gorillas were gentle creatures. C. To gain gorillas’ trust. D. To feel more comfortable in jungle. 5. What directly caused Fossey’s change in protection methods? A. The death of a gorilla close to her. B. Tragedy in her personal life. C. Her desire to gain local recognition. D. Disagreements with tourism supporters. 6. Which of the following best describes Fossey’s strategy? A. A direct solution to gorilla extinction. B. A scientific and cooperative model. C. A universally accepted approach. D. A great success at a personal cost. 7. What kind of person was Dian Fossey? A. Gentle and cooperative. B. Determined and extreme. C. Curious and humorous. D. Cautious and passive. C A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one dry bush to another. As it approaches the first house, the plants around it catch fire, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to do so: any small flames along its walls quickly die out. There’s no water in sight — the flames are put out by sound waves. This scene is not science fiction. Engineers at an American tech company built a device using low-frequency sound waves to fight fires. “It’s basically vibrating (震动) the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, blocking the chemical reaction,” explains Geoff Bruder, an aerospace engineer who once studied heat engines for NASA. Fire needs heat, fuel and oxygen; taking one of these away will stop the fire. Sound waves push oxygen away from the fuel, preventing the fire getting the air it needs to continue its burning. The company has demonstrated a fire control from as far as 25 feet away. Using sound against fire isn’t new. A U. S. defense research agency studied it over a decade ago. However, a major challenge is to scale up the technology without creating loud or even damaging sound effects. The company overcame this by using infrasound — sound waves at 20 hertz (赫兹) or lower, which humans cannot hear. These waves also travel farther than higher-frequency sounds. The device looks like a metal box attached to the roof. When heat sensors detect a flame, an electric motor drives a piston (活塞) to create infrasound, which travels through metal tubes on the roof, creating a “force field” to put out the fire and prevent the building catching another fire. Experts note that while sound waves can effectively influence fire, they currently work best on smaller flames. Nevertheless, homeowners and large energy companies are game to give it a try: The company is working with two California power suppliers and plans to install fifty pilot units early in 2026. 8. What does the passage begin with? A. A historical review. B. A personal anecdote. C. A scientific explanation. D. A descriptive situation. 9. What is the basic principle behind sound-based firefighting? A. It removes the burning material. B. It cools the fire with vibrations. C. It separates oxygen from the fuel. D. It blocks the heat with natural force. 10. What is a key feature of infrasound? A. It is silent to human ear. B. It is of high-frequency. C. It travels at a fast speed. D. It requires loud volumes. 11. What does “game” in paragraph 6 most likely mean? A. Pleased. B. Ready. C. Afraid. D. Unwilling. D One of the reasons why astronomers like to put telescopes in space is that the “seeing” is better. With no turbulent (湍流的) atmosphere in the way the stars shine steadily, rather than twinkling as they do when seen from the ground. But it is not just an atmosphere that can ruin the seeing. The rapidly growing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit is already causing problems for ground-based telescopes, which find their images contaminated by streaks of sunlight reflected off passing satellites. Now, a paper published in Nature suggests that could soon become a serious problem for space-going telescopes as well. Alejandro Borlaff and his colleagues at NASA’s Ames Research Centre, in California, searched regulatory filings to work out just how many satellites might be in orbit by the end of the next decade. Numbers are already exploding. In 2018 there were around 2,000 satellites in orbit. These days there are more than 9,000 of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites alone. Starlink is growing fast, and SpaceX has filed paperwork for as many as 42,000 satellites. Others such as OneWeb, Amazon, Qianfan and Guowang are also building “mega-constellations” (巨星星座). In total Dr Borlaff reckons there could be around half a million satellites in low orbits — below about 2,000 kilometres — by 2040. Exactly how bothersome the satellites will be depends on factors such as how high a telescope flies and whether it has a wide or narrow field of view. Calculating the numbers, the researchers concluded that around a third of Hubble images could be affected. That sounds bad enough. But if anything, the Hubble gets off lightly. What to do? SpaceX has tried to make its satellites less reflective, though with limited success, notes Dr Borlaff. Coordination and data-sharing can help. Astronomers armed with details of a mega-constellation’s orbits can time their observations to minimise interference. But that solution does not scale well, says Dr Borlaff: eventually the sky becomes so crowded that avoidance is impossible. 12. What serious problem may space telescopes soon face? A. They may lose contact with Earth because of satellite signals. B. Their images may be polluted by sunlight reflected from satellites. C. They may run out of energy due to the growing number of satellites. D. Their orbits may be changed by nearby satellites. 13. What do the numbers mentioned in Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly show? A. The cost of launching satellites has risen quickly. B. The number of satellites in orbit is increasing dramatically. C. Different countries are competing to launch satellites. D. Satellites are becoming smaller and more advanced. 14. What is Dr Borlaff’s attitude toward the proposed solutions? A. Optimistic B. Doubtful C. Indifferent D. Supportive 15. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Rapid Development of Satellite Internet B. Why Astronomers Prefer Telescopes in Space C. The Future of Space Telescopes D. The Impact of numerous Satellites on Astronomy 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。 In a time when celebrities, social media influencers, and famous personalities seem like they are just a click away, it’s easy to understand how emotional bonds with public figures have become more personal and complex than ever. ____16____ The term was coined in 1956 when televisions became widely available, and TV viewers began to develop the sense of false closeness with the characters on the screen. The parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships in which a person develops a strong sense of connection or familiarity with someone they don’t know, most often celebrities or media personalities. ____17____ They experience a bond that lacks reciprocity (互惠). There is no firm conclusion regarding why people develop parasocial relationships. ____18____ When so much of our time is spent online or watching TV or movies, we’re naturally likely to recognize the faces we repeatedly see and develop warm feelings for them.

It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps.

They didn’t reply but managed a friendly no d and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右;. (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
