However, during a visit back home, she was deeply moved by the beauty of straw weaving and concerned about its fading future. Driven by a sense of duty, she made a courageous decision: to leave her office job and devote herself to this ancient art. True to the “Craftsman (工匠) Spirit”, straw weaving is not a task to be rushed. It begins with the careful selection of materials and continues through the creation of complex designs, where mental focus and physical control become essential. What makes Chen Zhen extraordinary is her clever mind. She realized that for the craft to survive, it must connect with modern life. Instead of making only traditional items, she designs fashionable pieces and modern home decor that attract younger generations. What’s more, she has helped set up local workshops, providing jobs for villagers and helping the local economy grow. Chen Zhen’s journey is more than a career change. It is a powerful reminder that our cultural heritage is a precious treasure. With passion, creativity, and responsibility, young people like her are the key to ensuring that these timeless traditions live on in the modern world. 4. What made Chen Zhen give up her office job? A. Her parents’ words. B. The stress of overtime work. C. The low payment. D. Her sense of responsibility. 5. What can we know about straw weaving? A. It no longer has cultural value. B. It requires carefulness and attention. C. Its low costs hold back the local economic growth. D. Its traditional styles are popular with younger generations. 6. Which word can best describe Chen Zhen? A. Creative. B. Impatient. C. Humorous. D. Curious. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Village’s Economic Success B. The History of Straw Weaving C. Keeping Straw Weaving Alive D. The Difficulties of Creating Handicrafts 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是草编传承人陈珍出于责任感辞去办公室工作，投身草编艺术，她通过创新设计让草编与现代生活接轨，还建立手工作坊助力当地经济发展，目的是让草编技艺在现代世界中得以延续。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Driven by a sense of duty, she made a courageous decision: to leave her office job and devote herself to this ancient art.(出于一种责任感，她做出了一个勇敢的决定：辞去办公室的工作，全身心投入到这项古老技艺之中。)”可知，她的责任感促使她放弃了她的办公室工作。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“True to the “Craftsman (工匠) Spirit”, straw weaving is not a task to be rushed. It begins with the careful selection of materials and continues through the creation of complex designs, where mental focus and physical control become essential.(草编真正践行了“工匠精神”，它并非一项可以仓促完成的任务。草编从精心挑选材料开始，历经复杂图案的创作过程，在此期间，精神专注和身体控制都至关重要。)”可知，草编从精心挑选材料开始，在创作复杂图案时需要精神专注和身体控制，所以草编需要细心和专注。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She realized that for the craft to survive, it must connect with modern life. Instead of making only traditional items, she designs fashionable pieces and modern home decor that attract younger generations.(她意识到，要让这一手工艺得以延续，就必须与现代生活接轨。她不再只是制作传统物品，而是设计出时尚的物件和现代家居装饰品，吸引了年轻一代的关注。)”可知，她不再只制作传统物件，而是设计出时尚单品和现代家居装饰品来吸引年轻一代，这体现了她的创造力。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Chen Zhen’s journey is more than a career change. It is a powerful reminder that our cultural heritage is a precious treasure. With passion, creativity, and responsibility, young people like her are the key to ensuring that these timeless traditions live on in the modern world.(陈珍的历程不仅仅是一次职业转变。它有力地提醒着我们，文化遗产是珍贵的财富。凭借热情、创造力和责任感，像她这样的年轻人是确保这些永恒传统在现代世界中得以延续的关键所在。)”可知，文章主要讲述了草编传承人陈珍出于责任感辞去办公室工作，投身草编艺术，她通过创新设计让草编与现代生活接轨，还建立手工作坊助力当地经济发展，目的是让草编技艺在现代世界中得以延续，因此最好的题目是C选项“Keeping Straw Weaving Alive(让草编工艺得以延续)”。 C Carnival season is at its height this weekend. New Orleans’s annual series of parades began more than a week ago. Thousands attend the parades and they leave a mess of trash behind. Despite a busy daily cleanup operation that leaves the post-parade landscape remarkably clean, uncaught beads (珠子) hang from tree branches or get ground into the mud under the feet of passers-by. They also flow into storm drains, and finally these non-biodegradable plastics (不可降解塑料) flow into Lake Pontchartrain, polluting the water and threatening local wildlife. “The plastics disaster is becoming a defining characteristic of this event,” said Brett Davis, a New Orleans native who grew up catching beads at Mardi Gras parades. He now heads Bead Reborn NOLA — a nonprofit organization that works to reduce the waste. One way to use less new plastic beads is to use old ones again. Parade-goers can now donate their caught beads to the organization and it repackages and resells the products to raise money for the services it provides to adults and children with disabilities. The city has also placed collection stations along parade routes to encourage recycling. Aside from recycling, there’s a small but growing movement to find something to replace plastic beads, such as beads made from paper, recycled glass, or even seeds; headbands made from old T-shirts; and small packages of local food products. These options are gaining attention as ways to keep the fun while mitigating the harm caused by waste. However, changing a long-standing tradition is not easy. Plastic beads remain widely used because they are cheap and popular. Still, Brett Davis believes that with growing awareness, Carnival season can become greener. 8. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. The great joy Carnival season brings to visitors. B. The successful daily cleanup after each parade. C. The serious plastic waste problem caused by Carnival season. D. The long history of carnival-season celebrations in New Orleans. 9. How does the organization deal with the plastic beads? A. It stops the use of them. B. It recycles them. C. It cuts down their production. D. It sells them to the disabled. 10. What does the underlined word “mitigating” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Studying. B. Accepting. C. Adding. D. Reducing. 11. What is Davis’s attitude towards an eco-friendly Carnival season? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是新奥尔良狂欢节期间因大量使用不可降解塑料珠子而引发的环境问题，以及为解决这一问题所采取的措施和面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carnival season is at its height this weekend. New Orleans’s annual series of parades began more than a week ago. Thousands attend the parades and they leave a mess of trash behind. Despite a busy daily cleanup operation that leaves the post-parade landscape remarkably clean, uncaught beads (珠子) hang from tree branches or get ground into the mud under the feet of passers-by. They also flow into storm drains, and finally these non-biodegradable plastics (不可降解塑料) flow into Lake Pontchartrain, polluting the water and threatening local wildlife.(本周末狂欢节达到高潮。新奥尔良一年一度的系列游行活动一个多星期前就已拉开帷幕。成千上万的人前来参加游行，游行过后却留下一片狼藉的垃圾。尽管每天都有繁忙的清理工作，让游行后的街道干净得令人惊叹，但仍有未被清理到的珠子挂在树枝上，或是被过往行人的鞋底踩进泥里。它们还会流入雨水排水沟，最终这些不可降解的塑料流入庞恰特雷恩湖，污染湖水，威胁当地的野生动物。)”可知，第一段主要指出的是狂欢节季节所造成的严重的塑料废弃物问题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One way to use less new plastic beads is to use old ones again. Parade-goers can now donate their caught beads to the organization and it repackages and resells the products to raise money for the services it provides to adults and children with disabilities. The city has also placed collection stations along parade routes to encourage recycling.(减少新塑料珠子使用的一个方法就是重复利用旧珠子。现在，参加游行的人可以将接到的珠子捐赠给该组织，该组织会重新包装并转售这些产品，为向残疾成年人和儿童提供的服务筹集资金。市政府还在游行路线沿途设置了收集站，鼓励人们回收利用。)”可知，该组织对这些塑料珠子进行回收处理。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Aside from recycling, there’s a small but growing movement to find something to replace plastic beads, such as beads made from paper, recycled glass, or even seeds; headbands made from old T-shirts; and small packages of local food products.(除了回收利用之外，还有规模虽小但在不断壮大的运动旨在寻找能够替代塑料珠子的物品，比如用纸制成的珠子、回收玻璃制成的珠子，甚至还有种子制成的珠子；用旧T恤制成的头带；以及当地食品产品的小包装。)”可知，划线词前面的句子提到了一些减少塑料珠子的方法，塑料珠子减少了就能减少垃圾所造成的伤害，mitigating的意思是“减少”，和Reducing意思相近。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, Brett Davis believes that with growing awareness, Carnival season can become greener.(不过，Brett Davis认为，随着人们环保意识的增强，狂欢节活动将会变得更加环保。)”可知，Davis对环保型狂欢节活动的态度是积极的。 D Scientists in San Juan Island are testing a new method to listen to whales. They are using hair-thin fiber-optic cables (光纤) as underwater microphones. This technology is called Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Unlike traditional tools that listen from one spot, DAS can use the whole length of the cable as a sensor. This allows scientists to find the exact place of a whale and track its direction. The researchers have already proven that DAS works for large baleen whales (大型须鲸). In a test, they recorded the sounds of fin whales and blue whales by using it. Now, they face a new challenge: Seeing if it works for killer whales. Killer whales use high-frequency clicks, which are harder to detect (监测). This research is important. The local killer whales, known as Southern Residents, are disappearing, with only about 75 left. They face three main threats: underwater noise from ships, a lack of their main food — Chinook salmon, and toxic pollution. Ship noise can cover up the killer whales’ clicks, making it hard for them to hunt the already few salmon. If successful, the DAS system could provide real-time data on where the killer whales are. For example, if scientists detect killer whales moving towards a busy shipping lane, they could tell nearby ferries to slow down or reduce noise, giving the whales a safer path. The method could also open a new window into killer whales’ behavior and communication. With thousands of miles of cables already on ocean floors worldwide, this technology could create a huge global network for monitoring underwater life and helping with conservation efforts. 12. What do the researchers use DAS for? A. Guiding whales. B. Tracking whales. C. Discovering whales’ food. D. Repairing ships. 13. What is the researchers’ next plan after using DAS on large baleen whales? A. To apply DAS to killer whales. B. To build a cheaper DAS system. C. To study fish species in deeper water. D. To record the sound of baleen whales. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How DAS works. B. Why it is difficult to find killer whales. C. What killer whales suffer. D. How the research is carried out. 15. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Ocean life will be protected worldwide. B. DAS has already worked well on killer whales. C. Killer whales can reduce noise by slowing down. D. DAS may help protect and study killer whales. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家使用新型光纤声学传感技术DAS监测鲸鱼声音、追踪鲸鱼位置，并探究该技术能否监测虎鲸，以此保护濒危虎鲸、助力海洋生物保护的相关研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This allows scientists to find the exact place of a whale and track its direction.(这让科学家能够确定鲸鱼的确切位置并追踪它的行进方向。)”可知，研究人员使用DAS技术来追踪鲸鱼。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers have already proven that DAS works for large baleen whales. Now, they face a new challenge: Seeing if it works for killer whales.(研究人员已经证实DAS适用于大型须鲸。现在他们面临新挑战：检测它是否适用于虎鲸。)”可知，在大型须鲸身上测试成功后，研究者下一步计划将DAS应用在虎鲸身上。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The local killer whales, known as Southern Residents, are disappearing, with only about 75 left. They face three main threats: underwater noise from ships, a lack of their main food — Chinook salmon, and toxic pollution.(被称为南方居留鲸的本地虎鲸正在消失，目前仅存约75头。它们面临三大主要威胁：船只水下噪音、主要食物奇努克鲑鱼短缺以及有毒污染。)”可知，本段主要讲述虎鲸如今遭遇的生存困境与危害。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, if scientists detect killer whales moving towards a busy shipping lane, they could tell nearby ferries to slow down or reduce noise, giving the whales a safer path. The method could also open a new window into killer whales’ behavior and communication.(例如，如果科学家监测到虎鲸正驶向繁忙的航道，他们就可以通知附近的渡轮减速或降低噪音，为虎鲸让出更安全的路线。这项技术也能为人类研究虎鲸的行为与交流方式开辟新途径。)”可知，DAS或许能够帮助保护和研究虎鲸。 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。 Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources. Many schools there cannot afford full-time teachers, so volunteers step in to help. ____16____ Their efforts (努力) make a significant difference in students’ lives and open doors to better opportunities for them.

So he became very popular among the villagers. C. They often become role models for their students. D. They want to start a new lifestyle in the neighborhood. E. These teachers bring skills, hard work, and love for their students. F. Despite these challenges, the work of volunteer teachers is invaluable. G. The school had few resources, but Lewis found creative ways to teach. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过Anthony Lewis在斯里兰卡支教的故事展现志愿教师扎根贫困地区、无私奉献为学生点亮教育之光。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources. Many schools there cannot afford full-time teachers, so volunteers step in to help.(志愿教师在资源匮乏的地区提供教育方面发挥着重要作用。那里许多学校无法聘请全职教师，所以志愿者们便挺身而出提供帮助)”及空后“Their efforts (努力) make a significant difference in students’ lives and open doors to better opportunities for them.(他们的努力对学生们的生活产生了重大影响，并为他们打开了通往更美好机遇的大门)”可知，志愿教师发挥重要作用且有重大影响，E项“这些教师具备专业技能、勤奋工作态度以及对学生的关爱之情”概括了志愿教师带来的“正能量”，在语义上既承接上句，又能与下文保持意义的连贯。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据空后“He used materials from nature for science lessons and told stories to improve students’ language skills. By adapting to the situation, Lewis created a fun and interesting learning environment.(他利用自然界中的材料开展科学课程，并通过讲故事来提高学生的语言能力。通过灵活应对各种情况，刘易斯营造出了一个有趣且生动的学习环境)”可知，刘易斯营造生动有趣的学习环境，G项“这所学校资源匮乏，但刘易斯却找到了富有创意的教学方法”先交代学校资源匮乏，再引出创意教学，与后文形成明显顺承关系。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Volunteer teachers like Lewis not only focus on academic (学业的) subjects but also help build a sense of community.(像刘易斯这样的志愿者教师不仅注重学术课程的教学，还致力于培养学生的社区意识)”及空后“They share their own experiences and dreams to encourage their students to aim higher in life and pursue (追逐) opportunities like higher education or careers they might have thought were out of reach.(他们分享自己的经历和梦想，以此激励学生在人生道路上追求更高的目标，并去争取诸如高等教育或他们原本认为遥不可及的职业等机会)”可知，此处需补充说明志愿教师在学生群体中扮演的角色，C项“他们往往会成为学生们的榜样”恰好起到这一承接作用。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据空后“Many teachers work without pay, depending on donations, or live in difficult conditions. The lack of professional development or formal support can also make it harder for them to succeed in the long term.(许多教师无偿工作，依靠捐款维持生计，或者生活条件艰苦。缺乏专业培训或正式支持也会使他们难以长期取得成功)”可知，这两句话都在说明志愿教师面临的困难。A项“但是，作为志愿者进行教学并非易事”为转折总起句，引出下文的论述。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Many teachers work without pay, depending on donations, or live in difficult conditions. The lack of professional development or formal support can also make it harder for them to succeed in the long term.(许多教师无偿工作，依靠捐款维持生计，或者生活条件艰苦。缺乏专业培训或正式支持也会使他们难以长期取得成功)”及空后“They provide quality education to children who may not otherwise have the chance to learn.(他们为那些原本没有机会接受教育的孩子提供了优质的教育)”可知，此处既要呼应困难，又要高度评价志愿者工作，F项“尽管存在这些挑战，但志愿者教师的工作是极其宝贵的”正好符合这一语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a Friday morning in Cleveland, 16-year-old Tyler Sowden was at home when he heard ____21____ from a neighboring house.

The grass field by the old tree was their kingdom. Laughter filled the air as they ran and passed the ball. Leo was chasing a long pass from Sam, his eyes fixed on the ball, when his foot suddenly caught on something hard. He tripped and fell face-first onto the grass. “Ouch!” Leo cried. He looked back to see what had tripped him — a half-buried, torn plastic bottle. Angry, he was about to throw it away but stopped and looked around carefully. For the first time, he saw it: the field was littered with plastic bags, food wrappers, and thrown-away bottles here and there. The cheerful atmosphere of the game disappeared right away. His friends hurried over. “Are you OK, Leo?” Sam asked, reaching out a hand. Leo stood up, brushing dirt and grass from his body. “I’m OK,” he said, his voice no longer cheerful. “But look at the field. Rubbish is everywhere. We play here all the time. How did we not notice?” The others looked around and got concerned. Then Leo had an idea. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What if we played a different match before continuing the football match?” Leo suggested. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the park looked completely different. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 “What if we played a different match before continuing the football match?” Leo suggested softly. “We can’t continue playing football on a field like this. Let’s clean our kingdom up first!” He pointed at the rubbish. “Let’s make it a quick challenge. Fifteen minutes. We each take a section. Whoever collects the most pieces wins!” The others agreed gladly, and they got to work. For the next while, they were not football players, but cleaners, racing to pick up bottles, papers, and wrappers. Soon, the park looked completely different. The green grass sparkled under the sun, free of litter. As they finally went on with their football match, kicking the ball across the clean field, something changed in the way they moved. Every step felt light and free. They could run as fast as they wanted, with no rubbish to trip them up. Their laughter returned, louder and brighter, echoing in a space they had made better with their own hands. That day, everyone was a winner of a new kingdom built not by one person but by a team. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述上周六下午，Leo和三位好友在河畔公园常去的足球场踢球时，被一个半埋的塑料瓶绊倒。他由此首次发现球场到处散落着各类垃圾，原本欢乐的踢球氛围瞬间消散。朋友们赶来关心他的状况，看着满场垃圾，Leo突然萌生了一个想法。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““不如我们先踢一场不一样的比赛，再继续踢足球？”Leo提议道。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Leo提议先进行15分钟捡垃圾比赛清理球场，朋友们同意后立刻开始行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，公园焕然一新。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：四人清理完公园垃圾，场地变得干净整洁，他们重拾欢乐，共同守护了美丽家园。 2.续写线索：Leo提议进行捡垃圾比赛——朋友们同意——开始行动——公园变得干净整洁——重拾踢球欢乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.提议：suggest/propose/recommend ②.继续：continue/keep on ③.收集：collect/gather 情绪类 ①.温和地：softly/tenderly ②.高兴地：gladly/happily 【点睛】[高分句型1].

However, during a visit back home, she was deeply moved by the beauty of straw weaving and concerned about its fading future. Driven by a sense of duty, she made a courageous decision: to leave her office job and devote herself to this ancient art. True to the “Craftsman (工匠) Spirit”, straw weaving is not a task to be rushed. It begins with the careful selection of materials and continues through the creation of complex designs, where mental focus and physical control become essential. What makes Chen Zhen extraordinary is her clever mind. She realized that for the craft to survive, it must connect with modern life. Instead of making only traditional items, she designs fashionable pieces and modern home decor that attract younger generations. What’s more, she has helped set up local workshops, providing jobs for villagers and helping the local economy grow. Chen Zhen’s journey is more than a career change. It is a powerful reminder that our cultural heritage is a precious treasure. With passion, creativity, and responsibility, young people like her are the key to ensuring that these timeless traditions live on in the modern world. 4. What made Chen Zhen give up her office job? A. Her parents’ words. B. The stress of overtime work. C. The low payment. D. Her sense of responsibility. 5. What can we know about straw weaving? A. It no longer has cultural value. B. It requires carefulness and attention. C. Its low costs hold back the local economic growth. D. Its traditional styles are popular with younger generations. 6. Which word can best describe Chen Zhen? A. Creative. B. Impatient. C. Humorous. D. Curious. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Village’s Economic Success B. The History of Straw Weaving C. Keeping Straw Weaving Alive D. The Difficulties of Creating Handicrafts C Carnival season is at its height this weekend. New Orleans’s annual series of parades began more than a week ago. Thousands attend the parades and they leave a mess of trash behind. Despite a busy daily cleanup operation that leaves the post-parade landscape remarkably clean, uncaught beads (珠子) hang from tree branches or get ground into the mud under the feet of passers-by. They also flow into storm drains, and finally these non-biodegradable plastics (不可降解塑料) flow into Lake Pontchartrain, polluting the water and threatening local wildlife. “The plastics disaster is becoming a defining characteristic of this event,” said Brett Davis, a New Orleans native who grew up catching beads at Mardi Gras parades. He now heads Bead Reborn NOLA — a nonprofit organization that works to reduce the waste. One way to use less new plastic beads is to use old ones again. Parade-goers can now donate their caught beads to the organization and it repackages and resells the products to raise money for the services it provides to adults and children with disabilities. The city has also placed collection stations along parade routes to encourage recycling. Aside from recycling, there’s a small but growing movement to find something to replace plastic beads, such as beads made from paper, recycled glass, or even seeds; headbands made from old T-shirts; and small packages of local food products. These options are gaining attention as ways to keep the fun while mitigating the harm caused by waste. However, changing a long-standing tradition is not easy. Plastic beads remain widely used because they are cheap and popular. Still, Brett Davis believes that with growing awareness, Carnival season can become greener. 8. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. The great joy Carnival season brings to visitors. B. The successful daily cleanup after each parade. C. The serious plastic waste problem caused by Carnival season. D. The long history of carnival-season celebrations in New Orleans. 9. How does the organization deal with the plastic beads? A. It stops the use of them. B. It recycles them. C. It cuts down their production. D. It sells them to the disabled. 10. What does the underlined word “mitigating” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Studying. B. Accepting. C. Adding. D. Reducing. 11. What is Davis’s attitude towards an eco-friendly Carnival season? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. D Scientists in San Juan Island are testing a new method to listen to whales. They are using hair-thin fiber-optic cables (光纤) as underwater microphones. This technology is called Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Unlike traditional tools that listen from one spot, DAS can use the whole length of the cable as a sensor. This allows scientists to find the exact place of a whale and track its direction. The researchers have already proven that DAS works for large baleen whales (大型须鲸). In a test, they recorded the sounds of fin whales and blue whales by using it. Now, they face a new challenge: Seeing if it works for killer whales. Killer whales use high-frequency clicks, which are harder to detect (监测). This research is important. The local killer whales, known as Southern Residents, are disappearing, with only about 75 left. They face three main threats: underwater noise from ships, a lack of their main food — Chinook salmon, and toxic pollution. Ship noise can cover up the killer whales’ clicks, making it hard for them to hunt the already few salmon. If successful, the DAS system could provide real-time data on where the killer whales are. For example, if scientists detect killer whales moving towards a busy shipping lane, they could tell nearby ferries to slow down or reduce noise, giving the whales a safer path. The method could also open a new window into killer whales’ behavior and communication. With thousands of miles of cables already on ocean floors worldwide, this technology could create a huge global network for monitoring underwater life and helping with conservation efforts. 12. What do the researchers use DAS for? A. Guiding whales. B. Tracking whales. C. Discovering whales’ food. D. Repairing ships. 13. What is the researchers’ next plan after using DAS on large baleen whales? A. To apply DAS to killer whales. B. To build a cheaper DAS system. C. To study fish species in deeper water. D. To record the sound of baleen whales. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How DAS works. B. Why it is difficult to find killer whales. C. What killer whales suffer. D. How the research is carried out. 15. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Ocean life will be protected worldwide. B. DAS has already worked well on killer whales. C. Killer whales can reduce noise by slowing down. D. DAS may help protect and study killer whales. 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。 Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources.
