M: I’ve spent the past three months studying jaguars (美洲豹). Although I was fairly close to Brazil and Colombia too, I was actually in the neighboring South American country of Peru. Three months of sleeping in a tent wasn’t easy!
W: I bet you’re so glad to be back in your own bed now. Hey, hold on, I thought jaguars only lived in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
M: They are actually found in 18 countries altogether. Our main job was to identify as many jaguars as we could to see if numbers were rising or falling. Anyway, what have you been up to?
W: I haven’t been on an exciting wildlife adventure like you, but it’s also meaningful. I spent the past few months helping at a local community school. We arranged activities like storytelling, creative writing, and team games to bring the kids together and make them feel supported and joyful.

Science Highlights from 2025
Here are top three remarkable discoveries that generated the most headlines in 2025.
Ancient Salty Liquid from an Asteroid
In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft brought back samples from the asteroid (小行星) Bennu. Scientists studying these samples have found recently that some of them are covered in salts and minerals. These were left behind when water dried up on Bennu’s parent asteroid about 4.5 billion years ago. This salty liquid provided a setting where the elemental ingredients of life mixed and created more complex structures. The discovery helps scientists understand how life might have started on Earth — and possibly on other planets.
A New Flying Reptile
Scientists found fossils of North America’s oldest known flying reptile in Arizona. The animal, which was small enough to sit on a person’s shoulder, lived 209 million years ago. Researchers named it Eotephradactylus mcintireae. Eotephradactylus means “ash-winged dawn goddess” — because the fossils were found in volcanic ash and the creature appeared at the beginning of flying reptiles’ evolutionary history. Mcintireae honors Suzanne McIntire, a museum volunteer who discovered it.
What Wolves Left in Your Dog
New research shows that modern dogs still carry traces of their wild ancestors — wolves. Scientists studied genetic material from nearly 2,700 ancient and modern dogs. Their findings revealed that almost two-thirds of breed dogs keep wolf ancestry that affects their size and personality. This means that when humans first tamed (驯服) wolves over 20,000 years ago, those wild characteristics were not completely lost. They remain in dogs today, shaping everything from how big they grow to how they behave.
21. What did scientists discover from the Bennu asteroid samples?
A. Signs that suggest ancient life forms.
B. Remains that belong to a flying reptile.
C. Salts that remained after water disappeared.
D. Volcanic ash that came from an eruption.
22. What does the research on dogs show?
A. Dogs’ size is not affected by wolves.
B. Most breed dogs have wolf ancestry.
C. Wolves were first tamed 2,000 years ago.
D. Wolves and dogs share the same personality.
23. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A book review. D. An academic journal.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】

B
I studied graphic design at university, and after graduating, landed a job a few towns over. My commute (通勤) involved a train, a bus, and a walk down a country lane in my high-vis jacket. Like many, I had that classic thought: I don’t want to be doing this for the rest of my life. So I decided I’d write a book, convinced it would be my ticket out of the 9-to-5 routine. So, like many first attempts, I was immersed in a novel that was rubbish. And as the cliche (陈词滥调) goes, life happened and writing slipped to the dustbin.
A few years later, searching for my purpose and longing for a better work-life balance, I began training as a tutor. Around the edges of that, I tried writing, including Amy Sparkes’ Picture Book Course during lockdown. However, disaster struck when I realized my draft was essentially a nonsense that had been done before. I felt ready to give up. And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that’s completely unique to me? Something no one else can write? And that’s how my first novel, Officially Losing It, was born. My agent and I were very excited about that.
Later, we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice, but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf. So we didn’t sell. As they say, that book died on sub. But my lovely agent didn’t give up. She reached out to an editor who’d previously loved my writing and voice and said, “Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to publish this? Because Becca is great.”
The editor — the wonderfully amazing Amy Mae Baxter — said, “Afraid not, but I do have an IP project I think Becca would be perfect for. Would she like to audition?” So, I did. I knew in my heart I wanted to write this book. Clearly that passion shone through. Later, I got the job! There was still plenty of space to make the book entirely my own, and Amy and I were so creative that it was a total joy from start to finish.
So is this the end of the story? OF COURSE NOT! Onwards I roll, still full of optimism, brimming with ideas, and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life!
24. What was the key factor that led to the birth of the author’s first novel?
A. The technical skills from Picture Book Course.
B. The encouragement from editors about her draft.
C. The intervention from agent in finding a publisher.
D. The moment of self-reflection about her unique story.
25. What does the underlined part “died on sub” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. The book caused the author to feel depressed.
B. The book failed to get accepted after being submitted.
C. The book contained a storyline about a character’s death.
D. The book was only published in an underground manner.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of formal education in writing.
B. The journey of career pursuit of a creative dream.
C. The challenges of the traditional publishing industry.
D. The experience of securing a writing job through an audition.
27. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Ambitious and cautious. B. Optimistic and determined.
C. Confident and considerate. D. Humorous and independent.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了作者早年从事普通工作,立志写书却屡遭失败。她反思自我创作独特作品,投稿遇挫后不放弃,最终抓住机会实现写作梦想,始终乐观前行。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that’s completely unique to me? Something no one else can write? And that’s how my first novel, Officially Losing It, was born. My agent and I were very excited about that.(然后我问自己:我能讲述一个怎样的故事,这个故事完全是我独有的,是别人无法创作出来的呢?就这样,我的第一部小说《正式失控》应运而生了。我的经纪人和我都对此感到非常兴奋)”可知,促使作者创作出其第一部小说的关键因素是对自己独特经历的自我反思时刻。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Later, we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice, but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf. So we didn’t sell.(后来,我们收到了很多关于我写作风格的积极反馈,但编辑们却难以确定这本书究竟该放在书架的哪个位置。所以这本书没有卖出)”可知,前文编辑无法定位书籍类目、没能成功售出作品,指代投稿失败。故划线词意思是“这本书在提交后未能获得出版许可”。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章讲述了作者早年从事普通工作,立志写书却屡遭失败。她反思自我创作独特作品,投稿遇挫后不放弃,最终抓住机会实现写作梦想,始终乐观前行。可知,这篇文章主要讲的是一段追求创意梦想的职业探索之旅。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So is this the end of the story? OF COURSE NOT! Onwards I roll, still full of optimism, brimming with ideas, and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life!(那么,这就是故事的结局吗?当然不是!我将继续前行,依然满怀乐观,满脑子都是想法,离那个梦寐以求的理想生活又近了一步!)”可知,作者乐观且坚定。
C
A recent study reveals that the “gap” between conversational turns serves as an objective measure of interpersonal connection: shorter gaps indicate a stronger sense of harmony. This finding emerges from the observation that people naturally respond to each other in about 250 milliseconds, an “honest signal” of attention beyond conscious control. The study found that participants reported greater enjoyment and connection when these gaps were shorter, and this pattern was held even within single conversations.
The research involved 66 participants, either with strangers or friends in pairs, having 10-minute recorded conversations. Participants later rated their moment-by-moment connection while watching the videos, confirming that connection peaks were in harmony with shorter gaps. Crucially, the feeling of connection depended far more on how quickly one’s partner responded than on one’s own response speed.
Additionally, external observers perceived shorter conversational gaps as a clear sign of social connection. By manipulating (操纵) gap lengths in audio clips, the study showed that shorter gaps alone were sufficient to make observers judge pairs as more connected.
The study also identified “super-connectors” — individuals who consistently responded faster across different partners, fostering feelings of warmth. However, simply trying to speed up responses is not a shortcut available, as true rapid response requires deep understanding and expectation of the other person’s perspective, achieved through active listening and genuine engagement.
In essence, just as we use terms like “close” to describe intimacy (亲密感), the gaps in our conversations also “telescope” interpersonal space. By shrinking these gaps, we effectively reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others.
28. What is the main function of the first paragraph?
A. To present a study result. B. To raise a controversial question.
C. To explain a psychological term. D. To introduce a common phenomenon.
29. How did the researchers collect the data on conversational gaps?
A. By training participants to respond faster across partners.
B. By measuring total silence duration in each conversation.
C. By comparing conversations between strangers and friends.
D. By having participants rate connection while watching videos.
30. What does the author suggest about being true connectors in the fourth paragraph?
A. They can teach others to connect better.
B. They rely on conscious effort to respond.
C. They are born with the ability to connect.
D. They respond consistently to diverse partners.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Intimate relationships depend on frequent communication.
B. Telescopes are useful tools for studying interpersonal space.
C. Physical distance can be measured by conversational speed.
D. Shortening response time helps narrow psychological distance.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于对话间隔时长与人际联系关系的研究发现。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A recent study reveals that the ‘gap’ between conversational turns serves as an objective measure of interpersonal connection: shorter gaps indicate a stronger sense of harmony. (最近一项研究表明,话轮之间的间隔是衡量人际联系的客观指标:间隔越短,和谐感越强。)”可知,第一段的主要作用是呈现一项研究结果。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Participants later rated their moment-by-moment connection while watching the videos, confirming that connection peaks were in harmony with shorter gaps. (随后,参与者在观看视频时对自己每时每刻的联系感进行评分,证实了联系感的峰值与较短的间隔相一致。)”可知,研究人员通过让参与者观看视频并对联系感进行评分来收集对话间隔的数据。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“However, simply trying to speed up responses is not a shortcut available, as true rapid response requires deep understanding and expectation of the other person’s perspective, achieved through active listening and genuine engagement. (然而,刻意加快回应并不是可行的捷径,因为真正的快速回应需要深刻理解并预判对方的想法,这需要通过积极倾听和真诚投入来实现。)”可知,真正的连接者依靠有意识的努力去回应。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“By shrinking these gaps, we effectively reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others. (通过缩短这些间隔,我们能有效缩小自己与他人之间的心理距离。)”可知,缩短回应时间有助于缩小心理距离。
D
Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles. And it’s all floating in the sky.
The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements (from 283 locations) across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.”
The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — tire wear from vehicles grinds down (磨碎) plastic particles that float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste.
Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky — pouring from these very sources — is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited (沉积), these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice — a phenomenon similar to the “black carbon” effect. Every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface.
However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems. How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation.
Despite these uncertainties, the study sends a clear message: plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem. It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale — one that, as Brahney put it, “We’re only beginning to understand.”
32. What does the Utah State University study focus on?
A. Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution.
B. Comparing microplastic levels in different environments.
C. Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics.
D. Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics.
33. Why does the author mention the “black carbon” effect in Paragraph 4?
A. To explain how microplastics are formed.
B. To argue that black carbon is more harmful.
C. To compare microplastics to a well-known pollutant.
D. To suggest that microplastics are a new type of black carbon.
34. Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research?
A. Its specific migration routes. B. Its real-time monitoring methods.
C. Its overall environmental impacts. D. Its potential deposition consequences.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Warning: The Threat of Microplastics
B. Road Traffic: An Unexpected Source of Pollution
C. A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky
D. Microplastic Particles: A Problem of Various Origins
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. (科学家们首次精确计算出了漂浮在地球大气层中的微塑料微粒数量。)”可知,犹他州立大学的研究重点是首次提供全球大气微塑料的估算数据。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice — a phenomenon similar to the ‘black carbon’ effect. (更令人惊讶的是,大气微塑料可能会影响云的形成,甚至通过使冰雪表面变暗来加速冰雪融化——这一现象与‘黑碳’效应相似。)”可知,作者提到‘黑碳’效应是为了将微塑料与一种知名污染物进行对比。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation. (这些微粒在空气中停留多久以及最终落在哪里也需要进一步研究。)”可知,未来研究可能关注大气微塑料的具体迁移路径。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles. (这个数字几乎难以想象:600千万亿——6后面有17个0,足以制造15亿多个塑料水瓶。)”可知,文章最佳标题是“一场隐藏的危机:天空中有600千万亿微粒!”。

Energy Drinks: Quick Boost, Long-Term Risks
In recent years, the energy drink market has seen rapid growth in China. Tired of constant exhaustion, many people turn to these drinks for a quick energy boost. ____36____. Some worry about their potential side effects, such as increased anxiety, difficulty falling asleep, and even potential long-term harm to physical health.
Do energy drinks really boost energy?
Energy drinks are categorized as beverages for special purposes. They typically contain a mix of caffeine, vitamins, and other so-called “functional ingredients” such as taurine, ginseng, and guarana. ____37____Consuming energy drinks during late-night study sessions or long work hours might give a temporary lift, but that’s only part of the story.
____38____
Obviously, it is risky to overconsume energy drinks. With their sweet, refreshing taste, many people treat them like regular soft drinks, without realizing the amount of caffeine and sugar they’re taking in. A scientific consensus recommends that healthy adults limit caffeine intake to no more than 400 mg per day, but a single can or bottle of energy drink may contain 50 mg to over 500 mg of caffeine. So it’s easy to exceed safe levels without realizing it, leading to insomnia, nervousness, and even dependence. Moreover, energy drinks can negatively impact the blood vessels. ____39____
Are energy drinks for everyone?
____40____People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, underage, dealing with digestive conditions, taking medications, or consuming alcohol should avoid energy drinks to prevent potential health risks. In short, energy drinks’ short-term benefits cannot make up for their long-term risks.
A. Do energy drinks have side effects?
B. Can energy drinks easily be overconsumed?

【解析】
【导语】主要说明了能量饮料含提神成分,可短暂缓解疲惫,但易被过量饮用,咖啡因、糖分超标会损伤血管、引发不适,且并不适合特殊人群,弊大于利。
【36题详解】
根据上文“In recent years, the energy drink market has seen rapid growth in China. Tired of constant exhaustion, many people turn to these drinks for a quick energy boost.(近年来,中国能量饮料市场呈现出迅猛的发展态势。由于长期处于疲惫状态,许多人开始依赖这类饮料来迅速获得能量补充)”以及后文“Some worry about their potential side effects, such as increased anxiety, difficulty falling asleep, and even potential long-term harm to physical health.(有些人则担心其可能产生的副作用,比如焦虑情绪加剧、难以入睡,甚至可能对身体健康造成长期损害)”可知,空前:很多人靠能量饮料快速提神;空后:有人担心副作用与长期健康危害。C项“尽管受欢迎,担忧也日益增加”承上启下,衔接自然。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Energy drinks are categorized as beverages for special purposes. They typically contain a mix of caffeine, vitamins, and other so-called “functional ingredients” such as taurine, ginseng, and guarana.(能量饮料被归类为具有特定用途的饮料。它们通常含有咖啡因、维生素以及其他诸如牛磺酸、人参和瓜拉那之类的所谓“功能性成分”)”可知,空前:列举咖啡因、牛磺酸等多种功能性成分。E项“这些成分都被认为有助于缓解疲劳”承接上文成分介绍。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Obviously, it is risky to overconsume energy drinks. With their sweet, refreshing taste, many people treat them like regular soft drinks, without realizing the amount of caffeine and sugar they’re taking in. A scientific consensus recommends that healthy adults limit caffeine intake to no more than 400 mg per day, but a single can or bottle of energy drink may contain 50 mg to over 500 mg of caffeine. So it’s easy to exceed safe levels without realizing it, leading to insomnia, nervousness, and even dependence. Moreover, energy drinks can negatively impact the blood vessels.(显然,过度饮用能量饮料是有风险的。由于其香甜、清爽的口感,许多人将其当作普通的软饮料来饮用,却没有意识到其中所含的咖啡因和糖分的量。科学界达成的共识是,健康成年人每天摄入的咖啡因量应不超过400毫克,但一罐或一瓶能量饮料中可能含有50毫克到超过500毫克的咖啡因。因此,很容易在不知不觉中超过安全摄入量,从而导致失眠、焦虑甚至上瘾。此外,能量饮料还会对血管产生负面影响)”可知,本段围绕过量饮用能量饮料的危害、咖啡因超标展开。A项“能量饮料会有副作用吗?”为本段小标题。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Obviously, it is risky to overconsume energy drinks.

【40题详解】
根据后文“People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, underage, dealing with digestive conditions, taking medications, or consuming alcohol should avoid energy drinks to prevent potential health risks. In short, energy drinks’ short-term benefits cannot make up for their long-term risks.(正在怀孕或哺乳期的女性、未成年人、患有消化系统疾病的人、正在服药者以及饮酒者应避免饮用能量饮料,以免引发潜在健康风险。简而言之,能量饮料的短期益处无法抵消其长期风险)”以及本段小标题“Are energy drinks for everyone?(能量饮料适合所有人吗?)”可知,本句总领本段,引出各类禁忌人群。G项“虽能短暂提神,但并非人人适用”符合语境。

For sixteen-year-old Leo, summer in the countryside felt like a punishment. He was used to the constant ____41____ of the city — traffic, horns and the buzz of his phone. Here, at his grandmother’s old farmhouse, the silence pressed down on him like a heavy blanket. “Too quiet,” he ____42____, but his grandmother simply smiled. “Listen,” she said.

That evening, his grandmother ____48____ him to the old oak tree and asked him to close his eyes. At first, he heard nothing but his own breathing. Then ____49____, the world began to whisper — the wind through the cornfields, a cricket’s rhythmic chirp, the distant bark of a fox. Beneath it lay the ____50____, steady pulse of the watch in his pocket. “Noise shouts,” his grandmother said. “But silence ____51____. You have to be still enough to let it in.”
Later that week, Leo’s phone ____52____. Instead of searching for a charger, he helped his grandmother repair a broken fence. Working in companionable quiet, he realized silence wasn’t ____53____ — it was full of things he’d been too busy to notice. His worries — the failed exam, the arguments with friends — seemed ____54____ now. He had found a larger space in which to hold them.

54. A. heavier B. bigger C. deeper D. smaller
55. A. limitation B. symbol C. loss D. presence
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. B 45. D 46. C 47. D 48. A 49. B 50. C 51. A 52. C 53. B 54. D 55. D

62. extremely
63. sweeping
64. and 65. accessible
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了最近在社交媒体上流行的户外生活方式——放松色彩漫步。
【56题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:最近,一种名为“放松色彩漫步”的新型户外生活方式在中国年轻人中越来越受欢迎。gain(获得)是句中谓语动词,与主语Relaxing ColorWalk之间是主动关系,结合时间状语recently可知,表示从过去持续到现在的动作,应使用现在完成时态,又因主语是专有名词,谓语动词也应使用单数形式has gained。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种将慢走与在大自然中收集色彩相结合的创意活动迅速在社交媒体上掀起了一股热潮。空格后为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词This creative activity,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:参与者手持一张白纸,在公园或校园里漫步,收集从红色花瓣到绿色树叶的各种彩色物品。equip...with...是固定搭配,意为“用……装备……”。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他们小心地将这些物品摆放成一张独特的“色彩卡片”,让自己接触到周围世界的美丽。card(卡片)是可数名词单数形式,泛指“一张独特的’色彩卡片’”,且unique发音以辅音音素开头,应使用不定冠词a修饰。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。allow sb. to do...是固定搭配,用动词不定式作宾语补足语,且expose(使接触;使体验)与其逻辑主语themselves之间是被动关系,应用不定式的被动式to be exposed。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:这项活动不仅带来放松,还缓解了繁重课业带来的焦虑。提示词作宾语,应用名词relaxation,意为“放松”,抽象名词,不可数。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着无数作品在网上被分享,这一趋势变得极为流行。提示词修饰形容词popular,用副词extremely作状语,意为“极其,非常”。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着这一潮流在全国范围内广泛兴起,越来越多的学生愿意亲近周围环境,拥抱户外,感受大自然的宁静。“(sweep) widely across the country”是with复合结构中的宾语补足语,sweep(席卷)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语the trend之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。结合句意,“get close to their surroundings”“embrace the outdoors”和“feel the peace of nature”是并列关系,描述学生们愿意做的三件事,用并列连词and连接。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这种简单的做法为他们提供了一种廉价、方便且可行的积极体验,帮助他们在日常生活中恢复身心活力。提示词与形容词cheap和achievable并列定语,修饰名词experience,应用形容词形式accessible作定语,意为“容易获得的,方便使用的”。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a pleasant morning, Mia Taylor hiked with a friend. After climbing a steep slope, walking through tall trees, and stepping over rough rocks, they reached a flat one with a breathtaking countryside view.
Eager to capture the moment, Mia pulled out her phone. As she took photos, the device slipped from her hand and fell into a narrow crack between two massive rocks. Leaning over to pick it up, she lost balance and fell headfirst into the gap. In seconds, she was tightly stuck between the huge rocks, her head three meters below the surface. The rocks bent her upside-down body into a banana shape — back against one rock, arms trapped behind her, and legs pointing straight up.
All her friend could see in the darkness of the crack were her soles (鞋底), helplessly out of reach. With no mobile signal, the friend rushed to seek for emergency services.
Over 30 rescue workers soon arrived, led by experienced rescuer Ryan Cooper, accompanied by Emma Clark, known for her unique ability to calm anyone in distress. They quickly realized this would be a tough rescue. Many rocks had to be removed before rescuers could reach Mia’s feet. While the two main huge rocks were stable, there were also many loose rocks that, if disturbed, might fall into the gap, injuring Mia or slowing down the extraction.
By then, Mia had been trapped upside down for over two hours. Emma knelt and asked, “Are you OK?” “Yes… Can you get me out?” Mia’s shaky voice replied. She was growing tired and anxious, breathing becoming harder.
Rescuers knew upside-down suspension (悬挂) is deadly — the heart struggles to circulate blood. Every minute mattered. They quickly firmed up a plan: they would widen the crack by clearing away loose rocks. This would give them enough room to tie ropes around her lower body and ease her out. However, many rocks weighed up to half a ton, requiring ropes and pulleys (滑轮) to lift. Time was running out and the team wasted no time setting up the equipment.
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。
Paragraph 1: With the ropes and pulleys in place, Ryan began organizing the rescue.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Mia’s legs gradually rose as she was lifted inch by inch.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
With the ropes and pulleys in place, Ryan began organizing the rescue. Each rock was dangerously heavy — rescuers strained hard against the pulleys, sweat soaking their shirts as they shifted the stones slowly and steadily inch by inch. Emma knelt quietly by the crack, her soft, calm voice drifting down to comfort Mia below. “Stay with us. You’re doing incredibly well.” Mia responded in a shaky, weak voice, fighting hard to stay conscious. When the gap finally widened enough, a rescuer crawled headfirst down carefully, gently threading a sturdy rope around Mia’s ankles and securing it tightly. “Rope’s secured!” Ryan called out firmly.
Mia’s legs gradually rose as she was lifted inch by inch. The movement was agonizingly slow, for any sudden jolt might worsen the condition. Ryan lay flat by the rocky opening, arms outstretched, waiting for her ankles to come within reach. Suddenly he called out excitedly, “I can see her now!” Emma kept her tone steady amid the chaos, urging softly, “You’re almost there. Just a little more.” With one careful final pull, her shoulders cleared the narrow gap and she was safely pulled into the soft evening light. Medics rushed forward immediately for on-site checks, stabilizing her neck and examining her for injuries before wrapping her in a warm blanket. Carefully lifted onto a stretcher, she was soon on her way to the hospital, sirens wailing sharply all the way, marking the end of this miraculous, hours-long narrow escape.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Mia徒步拍照时手机滑落,俯身捡拾不慎倒立卡在岩石缝隙中。同伴紧急求救,救援人员随即展开高难度营救。因倒立处境致命、碎石风险极高,队员借助器械清开岩石、固定绳索,全程缓慢稳妥施救。在专人安抚下,Mia保持意识,最终成功获救并送往医院。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“将绳索和滑轮安装好后,瑞安开始组织救援行动”可知,第一段可描写绳索和滑轮就位后,Ryan 组织救援。救援人员艰难地拉动滑轮移开岩石,Emma 在裂缝旁轻声安抚 Mia。当裂缝足够宽时,一名救援人员小心爬下,将绳索系在 Mia 脚踝并固定好。
②由第二段首句内容“Mia的双腿逐渐抬高,她被一点一点地往上托着”可知,第二段可描写Mia 被缓缓拉起,过程缓慢且需小心,Ryan 在洞口等待,看到 Mia 时兴奋呼喊,Emma 持续安抚。最后 Mia 被安全救出,医护人员立刻检查、固定颈部、检查伤势,用毯子包裹,送上担架送往医院,警笛声宣告这场长达数小时的惊险救援结束。
2.续写线索:开始救援——Mia保持清醒——固定好绳子——Mia得救——Mia送往医院
3.词汇激活
行为类
①安慰:comfort/soothe
②固定:secure/fix
③回复:respond/reply

Michael says the horses are well cared for. I'm sure they are while they are fit and healthy, but the horses are often hit with sticks to make them go faster. If they break a leg, it's cheaper to give up on them for their owners instead of looking after them. I didn't know that. I think I say no to Michael.

Science Highlights from 2025
Here are top three remarkable discoveries that generated the most headlines in 2025.
Ancient Salty Liquid from an Asteroid
In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft brought back samples from the asteroid (小行星) Bennu. Scientists studying these samples have found recently that some of them are covered in salts and minerals. These were left behind when water dried up on Bennu’s parent asteroid about 4.5 billion years ago. This salty liquid provided a setting where the elemental ingredients of life mixed and created more complex structures. The discovery helps scientists understand how life might have started on Earth — and possibly on other planets.
A New Flying Reptile
Scientists found fossils of North America’s oldest known flying reptile in Arizona. The animal, which was small enough to sit on a person’s shoulder, lived 209 million years ago. Researchers named it Eotephradactylus mcintireae. Eotephradactylus means “ash-winged dawn goddess” — because the fossils were found in volcanic ash and the creature appeared at the beginning of flying reptiles’ evolutionary history. Mcintireae honors Suzanne McIntire, a museum volunteer who discovered it.
What Wolves Left in Your Dog
New research shows that modern dogs still carry traces of their wild ancestors — wolves. Scientists studied genetic material from nearly 2,700 ancient and modern dogs. Their findings revealed that almost two-thirds of breed dogs keep wolf ancestry that affects their size and personality. This means that when humans first tamed (驯服) wolves over 20,000 years ago, those wild characteristics were not completely lost. They remain in dogs today, shaping everything from how big they grow to how they behave.
21. What did scientists discover from the Bennu asteroid samples?
A. Signs that suggest ancient life forms.
B. Remains that belong to a flying reptile.
C. Salts that remained after water disappeared.
D. Volcanic ash that came from an eruption.
22. What does the research on dogs show?
A. Dogs’ size is not affected by wolves.
B. Most breed dogs have wolf ancestry.
C. Wolves were first tamed 2,000 years ago.
D. Wolves and dogs share the same personality.
23. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A book review. D. An academic journal.
B
I studied graphic design at university, and after graduating, landed a job a few towns over. My commute (通勤) involved a train, a bus, and a walk down a country lane in my high-vis jacket. Like many, I had that classic thought: I don’t want to be doing this for the rest of my life. So I decided I’d write a book, convinced it would be my ticket out of the 9-to-5 routine. So, like many first attempts, I was immersed in a novel that was rubbish. And as the cliche (陈词滥调) goes, life happened and writing slipped to the dustbin.
A few years later, searching for my purpose and longing for a better work-life balance, I began training as a tutor. Around the edges of that, I tried writing, including Amy Sparkes’ Picture Book Course during lockdown. However, disaster struck when I realized my draft was essentially a nonsense that had been done before. I felt ready to give up. And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that’s completely unique to me? Something no one else can write? And that’s how my first novel, Officially Losing It, was born. My agent and I were very excited about that.
Later, we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice, but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf. So we didn’t sell. As they say, that book died on sub. But my lovely agent didn’t give up. She reached out to an editor who’d previously loved my writing and voice and said, “Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to publish this? Because Becca is great.”
The editor — the wonderfully amazing Amy Mae Baxter — said, “Afraid not, but I do have an IP project I think Becca would be perfect for. Would she like to audition?” So, I did. I knew in my heart I wanted to write this book. Clearly that passion shone through. Later, I got the job! There was still plenty of space to make the book entirely my own, and Amy and I were so creative that it was a total joy from start to finish.
So is this the end of the story? OF COURSE NOT! Onwards I roll, still full of optimism, brimming with ideas, and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life!
24. What was the key factor that led to the birth of the author’s first novel?
A. The technical skills from Picture Book Course.
B. The encouragement from editors about her draft.
C. The intervention from agent in finding a publisher.
D. The moment of self-reflection about her unique story.
25. What does the underlined part “died on sub” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. The book caused the author to feel depressed.
B. The book failed to get accepted after being submitted.
C. The book contained a storyline about a character’s death.
D. The book was only published in an underground manner.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of formal education in writing.
B. The journey of career pursuit of a creative dream.
C. The challenges of the traditional publishing industry.
D. The experience of securing a writing job through an audition.
27. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Ambitious and cautious. B. Optimistic and determined.
C. Confident and considerate. D. Humorous and independent.
C
A recent study reveals that the “gap” between conversational turns serves as an objective measure of interpersonal connection: shorter gaps indicate a stronger sense of harmony. This finding emerges from the observation that people naturally respond to each other in about 250 milliseconds, an “honest signal” of attention beyond conscious control. The study found that participants reported greater enjoyment and connection when these gaps were shorter, and this pattern was held even within single conversations.
The research involved 66 participants, either with strangers or friends in pairs, having 10-minute recorded conversations. Participants later rated their moment-by-moment connection while watching the videos, confirming that connection peaks were in harmony with shorter gaps. Crucially, the feeling of connection depended far more on how quickly one’s partner responded than on one’s own response speed.
Additionally, external observers perceived shorter conversational gaps as a clear sign of social connection. By manipulating (操纵) gap lengths in audio clips, the study showed that shorter gaps alone were sufficient to make observers judge pairs as more connected.
The study also identified “super-connectors” — individuals who consistently responded faster across different partners, fostering feelings of warmth. However, simply trying to speed up responses is not a shortcut available, as true rapid response requires deep understanding and expectation of the other person’s perspective, achieved through active listening and genuine engagement.
In essence, just as we use terms like “close” to describe intimacy (亲密感), the gaps in our conversations also “telescope” interpersonal space. By shrinking these gaps, we effectively reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others.
28. What is the main function of the first paragraph?
A. To present a study result. B. To raise a controversial question.
C. To explain a psychological term. D. To introduce a common phenomenon.
29. How did the researchers collect the data on conversational gaps?
A. By training participants to respond faster across partners.
B. By measuring total silence duration in each conversation.
C. By comparing conversations between strangers and friends.
D. By having participants rate connection while watching videos.
30. What does the author suggest about being true connectors in the fourth paragraph?
A. They can teach others to connect better.
B. They rely on conscious effort to respond.
C. They are born with the ability to connect.
D. They respond consistently to diverse partners.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Intimate relationships depend on frequent communication.
B. Telescopes are useful tools for studying interpersonal space.
C. Physical distance can be measured by conversational speed.
D. Shortening response time helps narrow psychological distance.
D
Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles. And it’s all floating in the sky.
The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements (from 283 locations) across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.”
The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — tire wear from vehicles grinds down (磨碎) plastic particles that float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste.
Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky — pouring from these very sources — is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited (沉积), these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice — a phenomenon similar to the “black carbon” effect. Every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface.
However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems. How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation.
Despite these uncertainties, the study sends a clear message: plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem. It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale — one that, as Brahney put it, “We’re only beginning to understand.”
32. What does the Utah State University study focus on?
A. Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution.
B. Comparing microplastic levels in different environments.
C. Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics.
D. Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics.
33. Why does the author mention the “black carbon” effect in Paragraph 4?
A. To explain how microplastics are formed.
B. To argue that black carbon is more harmful.
C. To compare microplastics to a well-known pollutant.
D. To suggest that microplastics are a new type of black carbon.
34. Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research?
A. Its specific migration routes. B. Its real-time monitoring methods.
C. Its overall environmental impacts. D. Its potential deposition consequences.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Warning: The Threat of Microplastics
B. Road Traffic: An Unexpected Source of Pollution
C. A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky
D. Microplastic Particles: A Problem of Various Origins

Energy Drinks: Quick Boost, Long-Term Risks
In recent years, the energy drink market has seen rapid growth in China. Tired of constant exhaustion, many people turn to these drinks for a quick energy boost. ____36____. Some worry about their potential side effects, such as increased anxiety, difficulty falling asleep, and even potential long-term harm to physical health.
Do energy drinks really boost energy?
Energy drinks are categorized as beverages for special purposes. They typically contain a mix of caffeine, vitamins, and other so-called “functional ingredients” such as taurine, ginseng, and guarana. ____37____Consuming energy drinks during late-night study sessions or long work hours might give a temporary lift, but that’s only part of the story.
____38____
Obviously, it is risky to overconsume energy drinks. With their sweet, refreshing taste, many people treat them like regular soft drinks, without realizing the amount of caffeine and sugar they’re taking in. A scientific consensus recommends that healthy adults limit caffeine intake to no more than 400 mg per day, but a single can or bottle of energy drink may contain 50 mg to over 500 mg of caffeine. So it’s easy to exceed safe levels without realizing it, leading to insomnia, nervousness, and even dependence. Moreover, energy drinks can negatively impact the blood vessels. ____39____
Are energy drinks for everyone?
____40____People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, underage, dealing with digestive conditions, taking medications, or consuming alcohol should avoid energy drinks to prevent potential health risks. In short, energy drinks’ short-term benefits cannot make up for their long-term risks.
A. Do energy drinks have side effects?
B. Can energy drinks easily be overconsumed?
C. Despite their popularity, there come rising concerns.
D. Too much intake may cause serious damage to organs.
E. All of these ingredients are believed to help reduce fatigue.
F. Overconsumption may cause sudden problems with blood flow.
G. While energy drinks offer temporary energy, they are not safe for all individuals.

Beneath it lay the ____50____, steady pulse of the watch in his pocket. “Noise shouts,” his grandmother said. “But silence ____51____. You have to be still enough to let it in.”
Later that week, Leo’s phone ____52____. Instead of searching for a charger, he helped his grandmother repair a broken fence.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a pleasant morning, Mia Taylor hiked with a friend. After climbing a steep slope, walking through tall trees, and stepping over rough rocks, they reached a flat one with a breathtaking countryside view.
Eager to capture the moment, Mia pulled out her phone. As she took photos, the device slipped from her hand and fell into a narrow crack between two massive rocks. Leaning over to pick it up, she lost balance and fell headfirst into the gap. In seconds, she was tightly stuck between the huge rocks, her head three meters below the surface. The rocks bent her upside-down body into a banana shape — back against one rock, arms trapped behind her, and legs pointing straight up.
All her friend could see in the darkness of the crack were her soles (鞋底), helplessly out of reach. With no mobile signal, the friend rushed to seek for emergency services.
Over 30 rescue workers soon arrived, led by experienced rescuer Ryan Cooper, accompanied by Emma Clark, known for her unique ability to calm anyone in distress. They quickly realized this would be a tough rescue. Many rocks had to be removed before rescuers could reach Mia’s feet. While the two main huge rocks were stable, there were also many loose rocks that, if disturbed, might fall into the gap, injuring Mia or slowing down the extraction.
By then, Mia had been trapped upside down for over two hours. Emma knelt and asked, “Are you OK?” “Yes… Can you get me out?” Mia’s shaky voice replied. She was growing tired and anxious, breathing becoming harder.
Rescuers knew upside-down suspension (悬挂) is deadly — the heart struggles to circulate blood. Every minute mattered. They quickly firmed up a plan: they would widen the crack by clearing away loose rocks. This would give them enough room to tie ropes around her lower body and ease her out. However, many rocks weighed up to half a ton, requiring ropes and pulleys (滑轮) to lift. Time was running out and the team wasted no time setting up the equipment.
