Again, we need to work out of plane for this friday's business meeting. Sure, mary. According to the results, the group most frequently taking part in sporting activities is those between eighteen and twenty six years old, followed by those thirty six to forty five years old OK. As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups considered writing at a mild pace as their favorite sport, followed by skin tennis, swimming and cycling. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the eighteen to twenty six age group more in the future. I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey Carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend among older customers. I mean, forty six to fifty five, there are more concerned about keeping in shape. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.

She says her students don't just sit at desks every day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising coho salmon (银鲑) and then releasing them into a lake. It's through a program called Salmon in the Classroom, established by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Coho salmon lay eggs in the fall, when many schools start. The eggs remain in the classroom for about six months before they are released into lakes. Though many of her students often see salmon in their backyard, few are familiar with them. Hodges says,“With this project, they have a whole different perspective because they know what it takes to actually go through the life stages of a salmon.” One of the biggest challenges in raising coho salmon, however, is their sensitivity to water temperature. With global warming becoming increasingly serious, learning about climate change is more crucial now than ever. In2025, the Arctic had its warmest year on record. These concepts can seem abstract to third graders, but raising salmon makes them concrete, since salmon require cold water to survive. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe, and calculate when the eggs will turn into fry (鱼苗) based on the temperature of the tank. To them, it's not practicing math problems; it's predicting the future. Each year in May, Hodges takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they get to release the salmon they've raised in class. This trip imparts wisdom about life and nature, helping them grasp vital lessons they can never learn from textbooks alone. “The most memorable part is getting to say goodbye. We release the salmon after watching them hatch from eggs and grow into fry while taking care of them,” says a boy, Fisher.“I can't be more excited at that moment.” 24. What is the main purpose of Salmon in the Classroom? A. To get salmon's eggs for food. B. To keep salmon in the backyard. C. To teach the salmon life cycle in depth. D. To increase the salmon population in lakes. 25. What does raising salmon make students aware of? A. The urgency of understanding climate change. B. The importance of observing salmon regularly. C. The difficulty of predicting climate conditions. D. The necessity of mild weather for salmon survival. 26. What does the underlined word“imparts” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Recalls. B. Conveys. C. Requires. D. Evaluates. 27. How does Fisher find releasing the fish? A. An easy job. B. A painful story. C. A worrying moment. D. A fantastic experience. C Many leaders often confuse“niceness” with effective leadership. They avoid tough conversations and decisions just to keep others from feeling uncomfortable. But in the end, this harms team performance and weakens organizational value. A case in point: a leading electronics company had a very supportive,relationship-focused culture. However, this led to underperforming employees getting the same rewards as top performers. As a result, team members felt unfair and dissatisfied, and overall productivity dropped sharply. Leaders who are too“nice” usually want to avoid conflicts. But they mix up two different ideas: being nice and being kind. As a recent Harvard Business Review article points out, kindness means being firm when necessary and giving honest response. In contrast, niceness only cares about avoiding discomfort at all costs. True leadership requires kindness, not just niceness, to build a strong and productive team. However, examples of good leadership instead of an overly nice one are not rare. Companies like Costco pair high wages with strict performance standards, driving excellent results. One survey of 18,000 nonprofit employees found that managers who always gave constructive advice could lift employees’ feedback-related satisfaction by 5 points in a year. A drug company invited staff to reapply for roles or take money to leave,resulting in a more motivated team that accelerated clinical trial progress. Apple's Steve Jobs famously cut the company's annual priorities to just three, and a tech company's R&D chief used clear rules to end unpromising projects, removing resources to workable initiatives. Transitioning from nice to good leadership demands courage and persistence. Many leaders avoid tough choices to keep harmony, but true leadership means facing difficult decisions head-on. This shift benefits both individuals and the organization long-term, creating a culture where people feel valued and motivated to do their best. 28. What led to the decline in team performance according to Paragraph 1? A. Tough decisions. B. Strict work rules. C. Leaders' confidence. D. Overly nice leadership. 29. What is one feature of true leadership according to the Harvard Business Review article? A. To stay agreeable. B. To escape discomfort. C. To offer frank feedback. D. To equal shallow niceness. 30. Which of the following can be classified as“good leadership”? A. Encouraging staff to stay in roles. B. Saying no to low-priority projects. C. Motivating certain employees to work. D. Cutting annual priorities to expand the team. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Nice, Not Kind. B. Lead, Not Please. C. Avoid, Not Face. D. Strict, Not harmonious. D Illnesses caused by heat— dehydration, cramps(抽筋), and even strokes—— can come on quickly and quietly.After 10 straight hours picking grapes on a burning 105°F day,53- year- old Asunción Valdivia collapsed and died,a victim of heat stroke. Without meaningful action, the U. S. could see 450,000 injuries per year by 2050. Scientists have been researching ways to measure heat stress without relying on individual consciousness.For the public, widely- used wearable devices can detect skin temperature. But to determine if someone is at risk of heat stress, wearables need to measure core body temperature— a capability they lack. Core body temperature measures the temperature of internal organs like the heart, liver and brain. An algorithm (算法 ) has been developed that estimates heat- related illness risks by measuring heart rate, skin temperature and walking patterns.Zachary, a heat stress researcher, says the most promising solutions are algorithms estimating internal body temperature, with the core body temperature algorithm being the most advanced and integrated into public products. Early tests have shown some promise. A startup called VigiLife released a sensor, which measures heart rate,core body and skin temperatures, and then uses wearable and environmental data to offer health and safety insights. A construction firm adopted the technology and saw zero heat- related illnesses when it tried out VigiLife's technology from May to September 2023. However, some aren't convinced by wearable- only solutions. Jason Glaser, the CEO of an network company,notes it's unclear whether, given access to wearable technology, workers would follow the alerts. Intense manual labor and piece- rate payment systems encourage workers to overwork without adequate access to water, shade and breaks. In addition to personal risk alerts, wearable technology can also help scientists create algorithms that model outdoor work risks. One Florida project uses biosensors on farm workers, feeding data to an AI algorithm to predict heat illness. However, Schlader says it's hard to know when these technologies will have a true impact on working conditions and when core temperature measurements will be integrated into wearable devices. 32. Why does the author mention Asunción Valdivia's story in Paragraph 1? A. To explain farmers' working conditions. B. To show threats of heat- related illnesses. C. To give a typical example of heat stroke. D. To prove outdoor work a dangerous job. 33. What determines the effectiveness of judging heat stress risks? A. The access to core body temperature data. B. The detection of human skin temperature. C. The change in heart rate and movement. D. The response of workers to health alerts. 34. What doubt does Jason Glaser have about wearable technology? A. It cannot solve workers' overwork problems. B. Its effect may be reduced by stressful work. C. Workers may ignore its alerts under pressure. D. Data from the sensors may not be accessible. 35. What does Schlader say about the future of wearable technology? A. It will gain popularity in Florida farming. B. It will replace the traditional monitoring. C. Its medical value will receive recognition. D. Its wide application will remain distant. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Appreciate A Classic Classics are often seen as books read by literature majors or intellectuals. They seem rather exclusive and distant. 36 The classics and I began as acquaintances, grew to be friends, and finally became close confidantes (密友) with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic? Find your classic era. The term classic applies to a wide range of books across a long period of time. 37 Not every classic is as thick as Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Like all forms of literature, there are genres(类型)within the classics selection of a bookstore. By finding your era, there's always something that may appeal to you. Read slow and get immersed. Classics aren't written in our modern tongue. They bear clear traces of the time when they were published. Given the challenges involved, I suggest reading your first classic slowly. 38 It's like immersing yourself in a different world. It would take a few interactions to get the hang of it, but you do get it eventually. 39 Once immersed, you rather get a hang of the language, and it is best to read another one. Maybe read a book from the same author. In this way, the next book becomes easier to read. The ease in the language and the context is reward itself and may motivate you to read more classics. Try again. If the first classic you got was a miss, find another one. You can even start with thinner books like Peter Pan or a child's classic such as Alice in Wonderland or even Anne of Green Gables. Don't jump from“I don't read classics” to“Brother Karamazov” all too suddenly. 40 Once you employ the proper methods and proceed step by step, you will come to appreciate the joy of reading classics. A. Learn more about the author. B. Reading classics requires pacing. C. Follow through with another classic. D. My love for classics was a gradual affair. E. Many classics also teach us valuable life lessons. F. Allow yourself to adapt to the book and the language. G. It's wrong to assume that all classics are created equal. 第三部分：语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At 42, I walked into a community college classroom for the first time, feeling like a fish out of water. I'd dropped out of high school when I was 17, 41 myself to a lifetime of low-wage labor, convinced that I was“not 42 enough” for academic work. For decades, I had tried to avoid any situation that might 43 my lack of education, building a small but safe life around that 44 .

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks:“Why won't Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother.

It doesn't matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist but knew she'd refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly. Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 续写词数应为1. 150 左右； 注意： 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。2.
