Many societies have long-established storytelling traditions. The stories, and performances thereof, function to entertain as well as educate. But not all stories are historically correct or even true. Truth is less important than providing cultural cohesion (凝聚性) . Here are some examples of storytelling as a method of passing down cultural traditions. Choctaw Storytelling Like all Native American tribes, the Choctaw have an oral storytelling tradition going back generations. The Choctaw oral tradition includes two creation stories: One relates to their coming from the west and the other to creation from a mound (山岗) . In addition, the oral tradition includes history as well as life lessons or moral teachings. Many of the Choctaw traditional tales employ animal characters to teach such lessons in a humorous way. Western African Storytelling A long-standing part of western African culture is the griots (部族史说唱艺人) , who perform the functions of storyteller, genealogist, historian, ambassador, and more. The griots are traditionally family-based, with the profession or role passed down from one generation to the next. There are also griot schools, where more formal training can be had. Native Hawaiian Storytelling Traditionally, Native Hawaiian storytellers are honored members of society. Hawaiian storytelling is not limited to words alone — it includes mele (song) , oli (chant) , and hula (dance) as well as talking. Hawaiians value the stories because they not only are entertaining, but also teach the next generation about behavior, values, and traditions. Irish Storytelling The seanchaí were the traditional Irish keepers of story. They told the old myths as well as local news and happenings. Significant in the Irish oral tradition are tales of kings and heroes. Today, storytelling and interest in it seems to be making a comeback. As one Irish storyteller put it: “It’s a need for connection… I think storytelling builds connections with people in real life.” 1. Which aspect of storytelling is stressed in this text? A. Its historical truth. B. Its cultural function. C. Its artistic significance. D. Its emotional value. 2. How are griots different from the other storytellers? A. They like using animal characters. B. They have access to school training. C. They tell tales of kings and heroes. D. They prefer educating to entertaining. 3. Which storytelling is regaining popularity at present? A. Choctaw Storytelling. B. Western African Storytelling. C. Native Hawaiian Storytelling. D. Irish Storytelling. B Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital. Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁), She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds. In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds. 4. What do we know about Catia from the first two paragraphs? A. She set up a hummingbird hospital with her friends. B. She has been an expert on hummingbirds since she was 50. C. She has cured hundreds of hummingbirds with eye injuries. D. She got through her hard times with the help of a hummingbird. 5. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Expect B. Refuse C. Accept D. Recognize 6. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed? A. When her friends heard about her success. B. When she was considered as a bird expert. C. After she shared the birds’ videos on the media. D. After she looked after a large number of the birds. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Tiny Bird Saved a Woman’s Life B. How to Protect Injured Hummingbirds C. Hummingbirds Are in Danger in Mexico D. Caring for Hummingbirds: A Life-Changing Mission C Have you ever felt worried about a friend but didn’t know how to ask if they were OK? R U OK? has started a national art competition to get those conversations started. The foundation has invited high school students in Years 7 and 8 to create a piece of art that represents what an R U OK? conversation means to them. Research has shown that having caring conversations with friends and family who are struggling can make a big difference in how they feel. But asking if someone is OK isn’t always easy. This was something Will McMahon and Woody Whitelaw, judges of the competition, experienced when they were friends at school. They now hope to inspire other great mates to start meaningful conversations. “It took us years to have a real conversation about what was going on for Will,” said Woody. “I knew he wasn’t OK. I just didn’t know how to ask, and I didn’t want to make it worse.” Woody’s experience is not uncommon. New research from R U OK? found three out of five young people who didn’t ask felt it wasn’t their place to do so, while half were afraid they would make things worse if they did. But Woody said he was glad he eventually speak up. “Since we started talking about what was really going on for Will, we’ve never been closer. In turn, he’s been there for me as I go through the highs and lows of life. We hope this competition gets young people talking, people like the younger Will and Woody,” Woody said. In the competition, students can create an individual artwork under the given theme. The artwork could explore when a friend was there for them or when they were there for a friend. Or it could represent how a meaningful conversation makes them feel. “Art has a unique ability to start conversations and foster (促进) understanding,” said R U OK? education and young people manager Dr Hannah Brown. “By attracting students creatively, R U OK? wants to get young people thinking about how they can support each other and the many forms of mateship.” 8. Why did R U OK? organize the national art competition? A. To promote a national art program. B. To display students’ artistic talents. C. To encourage caring conversations. D. To raise awareness of mental health. 9. What did Woody experience in school? A. The lack of friends’ support. B. The fear of losing good friends. C. The struggle to express concern. D. The difficulty in asking for help. 10. What may prevent young people from asking “Are you OK?” A. The busy schedule. B. The shy character. C. Coldness to others D. Fear of worsening the situation. 11. What can students gain from the competition according to Dr Brown? A. Good taste in art appreciation. B. A deep understanding of friendship. C. Strategies for starting a small talk. D. Techniques for expressive artworks. D London-based startup Brilliant Planet has rented 6,100 hectares of land in southern Morocco, situated between the Atlantc Ocean and the Sahara. And it’s using it to grow algae (藻类), which absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide and sends out oxygen. Brilliant Planet’s CEO Adam Taylor says the company has developed a way to grow algae at extreme rates starting in a glass cup in a lab and ending in 12,000-square-meter pools of locally-sourced seawater. The algae is obtained from the water then pumped up a 10-story tower and sprayed into the desert air. In the 30 seconds or so it takes to reach the ground, hot air dries the biomass (生物质) out, leaving hypersaline (超盐的) algae pieces which can be collected and shallow buried, sequestering (使隔绝) their carbon for thousands of years. “Nature-based solutions are a great way of removing carbon,” Taylor said. “Deserts are an underused environment. It does not cost a lot of money to rent the desert. What’s more, you’re not competing with farms or forests. You’re out of the way, not bothering people.” Taylor claims that Brilliant Planet’s solution can permanently remove 30 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per hectare per year than a typical European forest. Brilliant Planet’s goal is to remove one million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by the end of the decade.“Globally, we’ve identified about half a million square kilometers of flat desert-ocean land where it works,” Taylor said, adding that the company hopes to set up in Namibia next. Fatna Ikrame El Fanne, an environmental engineer, described the use of algae as “a new and promising strategy” that “is a typical example of innovative use of natural process to address an urgent global issue.” Nevertheless, she expressed caution. “Microalgae production on a large scale might damage local ecosystems, lead to overuse of water resources, and change habitats,” she said. There’s an acknowledgement that one company can’t do it all — and can’t go it alone. “We are part of a group of probably 40 to 50 wonderful ideas of how people can remove carbon from the atmosphere,” Taylor said, calling for “a Manhattan Project-type attitude” to tackling carbon capture. Whether algae is the solution the world needs remains to be seen. But the idea’s growing on people. 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Brilliant Planet? A. Its establishment of an algae plant. B. Its method of growing algae. C. Its process of carbon capture. D. Its daily routine in the desert. 13. What advantage did Taylor highlight about using deserts for carbon removal? A. Huge profits. B. High temperature. C. No occupation of rich land. D. No biodiversity concerns. 14. What can be inferred about the use of algae from El Fanne’s words? A. It needs improving. B. It is highly efficient. C. It is not worth promoting. D. It is commercially developed. 15. Why is “a Manhattan Project- type attitude” mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the challenges of carbon removal. B. To recognize the contributions of Brilliant Planet. C. To prove the effectiveness of nature-based solutions. D. To emphasize the necessity of joint efforts. 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。 How to Reconnect with Nature Through Writing Exploring the outdoors as a child at summer camp often meant playing by a lake, hiking along a trail, or sharing meals with fellow campers as night fell. ____16____ Writing offers a powerful tool for reconnection with the wild.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 株洲市南方中学 2026年春季学期期中考试 年级 高一 科目 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍讲故事是传承文化传统的一种方式，讲述了乔克托族、西非、夏威夷原住民、爱尔兰四种不同文化中的讲故事传统及其作用。 【1题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Storytelling is as old as culture. Many societies have long-established storytelling traditions. The stories, and performances thereof, function to entertain as well as educate. But not all stories are historically correct or even true. Truth is less important than providing cultural cohesion (凝聚性) . Here are some examples of storytelling as a method of passing down cultural traditions.(讲故事的历史与文化本身一样悠久。许多社会都拥有源远流长的讲故事传统。这些故事及其演绎形式，兼具娱乐与教育功能。但并非所有故事都符合史实，甚至并非都是真实的。相比于真实性，维系文化凝聚力更为重要。 以下是几个以讲故事传承文化传统的例子。)”可推知文章重点强调讲故事的文化功能。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“There are also griot schools, where more formal training can be had.(还有部族史说唱艺人学校，在那里可以接受更正规的培训。)”可知，西非部族史说唱艺人与其他讲述者的不同之处在于他们可以接受学校培训。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Today, storytelling and interest in it seems to be making a comeback.(如今，讲故事及其相关兴趣似乎正在重新流行。)”可知，爱尔兰讲故事目前正重新受欢迎。 B Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital. Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁), She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds. In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds. 4. What do we know about Catia from the first two paragraphs? A. She set up a hummingbird hospital with her friends. B. She has been an expert on hummingbirds since she was 50. C. She has cured hundreds of hummingbirds with eye injuries. D. She got through her hard times with the help of a hummingbird. 5. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Expect B. Refuse C. Accept D. Recognize 6. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed? A. When her friends heard about her success. B. When she was considered as a bird expert. C. After she shared the birds’ videos on the media. D. After she looked after a large number of the birds. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Tiny Bird Saved a Woman’s Life B. How to Protect Injured Hummingbirds C. Hummingbirds Are in Danger in Mexico D. Caring for Hummingbirds: A Life-Changing Mission 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述墨西哥73岁老人Catia自发救助受伤蜂鸟，在守护蜂鸟的同时走出人生低谷，并通过社交媒体传播救助事迹、获得广泛关注的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. (她成功将古奇照料至康复，而她却说，其实是古奇拯救了自己。为什么呢？因为这只蜂鸟帮她走出了充斥生活的悲伤与孤独。)”可知，她在一只蜂鸟的帮助下度过了人生艰难时期。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them.(她救助蜂鸟成功的消息在朋友间传开，不久朋友们陆续送来受伤蜂鸟，她丝毫没有repulse，为了更好地照料它们，她开始研究蜂鸟及其习性。)”可知，后文提到她开始研究蜂鸟、照料送来的受伤蜂鸟，说明她没有拒绝朋友们送来蜂鸟的行为，因此，画线词“repulse”意为“拒绝”，与B选项表意一致。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up.(Catia在社交媒体上发布她墨西哥城公寓里受伤蜂鸟（患者）的视频，其中许多视频都走红了。就是从那时起，对她救助服务的需求真正激增起来。)”可知，她在社交媒体分享蜂鸟的视频走红后，救助服务的需求量大幅增加。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life.(Catia作为蜂鸟救助者的故事始于2011年，那是她人生中非常艰难的时刻。)”以及“She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her.(她成功将古奇照料康复，但她说是古奇拯救了自己。)”以及第四段中的“She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds.(在11年的救助生涯中，她照料过数百只蜂鸟，有时公寓里同时有多达50只蜂鸟，她几乎把所有时间都花在照料这些小鸟上。)”可知，文章围绕Catia救助蜂鸟展开，既讲述了蜂鸟拯救她于人生低谷，也讲述了她11年如一日坚守救助使命，这段救助经历不仅改变了蜂鸟的命运，也改变了她自己的人生，所以“Caring for Hummingbirds: A Life-Changing Mission(照顾蜂鸟：改变生活的使命)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 C Have you ever felt worried about a friend but didn’t know how to ask if they were OK? R U OK? has started a national art competition to get those conversations started. The foundation has invited high school students in Years 7 and 8 to create a piece of art that represents what an R U OK? conversation means to them. Research has shown that having caring conversations with friends and family who are struggling can make a big difference in how they feel. But asking if someone is OK isn’t always easy. This was something Will McMahon and Woody Whitelaw, judges of the competition, experienced when they were friends at school. They now hope to inspire other great mates to start meaningful conversations. “It took us years to have a real conversation about what was going on for Will,” said Woody. “I knew he wasn’t OK. I just didn’t know how to ask, and I didn’t want to make it worse.” Woody’s experience is not uncommon. New research from R U OK? found three out of five young people who didn’t ask felt it wasn’t their place to do so, while half were afraid they would make things worse if they did. But Woody said he was glad he eventually speak up. “Since we started talking about what was really going on for Will, we’ve never been closer. In turn, he’s been there for me as I go through the highs and lows of life. We hope this competition gets young people talking, people like the younger Will and Woody,” Woody said. In the competition, students can create an individual artwork under the given theme. The artwork could explore when a friend was there for them or when they were there for a friend. Or it could represent how a meaningful conversation makes them feel. “Art has a unique ability to start conversations and foster (促进) understanding,” said R U OK? education and young people manager Dr Hannah Brown. “By attracting students creatively, R U OK? wants to get young people thinking about how they can support each other and the many forms of mateship.” 8. Why did R U OK? organize the national art competition? A. To promote a national art program. B. To display students’ artistic talents. C. To encourage caring conversations. D. To raise awareness of mental health. 9. What did Woody experience in school? A. The lack of friends’ support. B. The fear of losing good friends. C. The struggle to express concern. D. The difficulty in asking for help. 10. What may prevent young people from asking “Are you OK?” A. The busy schedule. B. The shy character. C. Coldness to others D. Fear of worsening the situation. 11. What can students gain from the competition according to Dr Brown? A. Good taste in art appreciation. B. A deep understanding of friendship. C. Strategies for starting a small talk. D. Techniques for expressive artworks. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了R U OK? 基金会举办全国艺术比赛以鼓励青少年开展关怀性对话。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Have you ever felt worried about a friend but didn’t know how to ask if they were OK? R U OK? has started a national art competition to get those conversations started.(你是否曾为朋友感到担忧，却不知如何开口询问对方是否安好？R U OK? 发起了一项全国艺术比赛，以开启这些对话)”可知，R U OK? 组织这次全国艺术比赛是为了鼓励关怀性的对话。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I knew he wasn’t OK. I just didn’t know how to ask, and I didn’t want to make it worse.(我知道他不太好。我只是不知道该怎么问，而且我也不想把事情弄得更糟)”可知，Woody在学校时经历的是难以表达关心。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“New research from R U OK? found three out of five young people who didn’t ask felt it wasn’t their place to do so, while half were afraid they would make things worse if they did.(R U OK? 的新研究发现，五分之三没有询问的年轻人觉得这不是他们该做的，而一半的人担心如果他们问了会让事情变得更糟)”可知，害怕让情况变得更糟可能会阻止年轻人询问“你还好吗？”。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““Art has a unique ability to start conversations and foster (促进) understanding,” said R U OK? education and young people manager Dr Hannah Brown. “By attracting students creatively, R U OK? wants to get young people thinking about how they can support each other and the many forms of mateship.”(“艺术具有开启对话和促进理解的独特能力，”R U OK? 的教育和年轻人经理Hannah Brown博士说。“通过创造性地吸引学生，R U OK? 希望让年轻人思考他们如何能够相互支持以及友谊的多种形式。”)”可知，根据Brown博士的说法，学生们可以从比赛中获得对友谊的深刻理解。 D London-based startup Brilliant Planet has rented 6,100 hectares of land in southern Morocco, situated between the Atlantc Ocean and the Sahara. And it’s using it to grow algae (藻类), which absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide and sends out oxygen. Brilliant Planet’s CEO Adam Taylor says the company has developed a way to grow algae at extreme rates starting in a glass cup in a lab and ending in 12,000-square-meter pools of locally-sourced seawater. The algae is obtained from the water then pumped up a 10-story tower and sprayed into the desert air. In the 30 seconds or so it takes to reach the ground, hot air dries the biomass (生物质) out, leaving hypersaline (超盐的) algae pieces which can be collected and shallow buried, sequestering (使隔绝) their carbon for thousands of years. “Nature-based solutions are a great way of removing carbon,” Taylor said. “Deserts are an underused environment. It does not cost a lot of money to rent the desert. What’s more, you’re not competing with farms or forests. You’re out of the way, not bothering people.” Taylor claims that Brilliant Planet’s solution can permanently remove 30 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per hectare per year than a typical European forest. Brilliant Planet’s goal is to remove one million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by the end of the decade.“Globally, we’ve identified about half a million square kilometers of flat desert-ocean land where it works,” Taylor said, adding that the company hopes to set up in Namibia next. Fatna Ikrame El Fanne, an environmental engineer, described the use of algae as “a new and promising strategy” that “is a typical example of innovative use of natural process to address an urgent global issue.” Nevertheless, she expressed caution. “Microalgae production on a large scale might damage local ecosystems, lead to overuse of water resources, and change habitats,” she said. There’s an acknowledgement that one company can’t do it all — and can’t go it alone. “We are part of a group of probably 40 to 50 wonderful ideas of how people can remove carbon from the atmosphere,” Taylor said, calling for “a Manhattan Project-type attitude” to tackling carbon capture. Whether algae is the solution the world needs remains to be seen. But the idea’s growing on people. 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Brilliant Planet? A. Its establishment of an algae plant. B. Its method of growing algae. C. Its process of carbon capture. D. Its daily routine in the desert. 13. What advantage did Taylor highlight about using deserts for carbon removal? A. Huge profits. B. High temperature. C. No occupation of rich land. D. No biodiversity concerns. 14. What can be inferred about the use of algae from El Fanne’s words? A. It needs improving. B. It is highly efficient. C. It is not worth promoting. D. It is commercially developed. 15. Why is “a Manhattan Project- type attitude” mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the challenges of carbon removal. B. To recognize the contributions of Brilliant Planet. C. To prove the effectiveness of nature-based solutions. D. To emphasize the necessity of joint efforts. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了总部位于伦敦的创业公司Brilliant Planet在摩洛哥南部租用了6100公顷的土地，用它来种植藻类，藻类吸收大气中的二氧化碳并释放氧气。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The algae is obtained from the water then pumped up a 10-story tower and sprayed into the desert air. In the 30 seconds or so it takes to reach the ground, hot air dries the biomass (生物质) out, leaving hypersaline (超盐的) algae pieces which can be collected and shallow buried, sequestering (使隔绝) their carbon for thousands of years.(从水中提取藻类，然后泵入一座10层楼高的塔，喷洒到沙漠的空气中。在到达地面的30秒左右的时间里，热空气将生物质干燥，留下高盐分的藻类碎片，这些藻类可以被收集并浅埋，将它们的碳封存数千年)”可知，本段在介绍利用海藻吸收二氧化碳的过程。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Deserts are an underused environment. It does not cost a lot of money to rent the desert. What’s more, you’re not competing with farms or forests. You’re out of the way, not bothering people.(沙漠是一个未被充分利用的环境。租用沙漠并不需要花很多钱。更重要的是，你不会与农场或森林竞争。你不碍事，不打扰别人)”可知，泰勒强调了利用沙漠去除碳的优势是不占用肥沃的土地。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Nevertheless, she expressed caution. “Microalgae production on a large scale might damage local ecosystems, lead to overuse of water resources, and change habitats,” she said.”(然而，她表示谨慎。她说：“微藻的大规模生产可能会破坏当地的生态系统，导致水资源的过度使用，并改变栖息地”)”可知，使用海藻的方法仍需要改进。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There’s an acknowledgement that one company can’t do it all — and can’t go it alone.“We are part of a group of probably 40 to 50 wonderful ideas of how people can remove carbon from the atmosphere,” Taylor said, calling for “a Manhattan Project-type attitude” to tackling carbon capture.(人们承认，一家公司不可能包揽一切，也不可能单打独斗。泰勒说：“我们是一群关于人们如何从大气中去除碳的40到50个奇妙想法的一部分。”他呼吁以“曼哈顿计划式的态度”来解决碳捕获问题。)”可知，最后一段提到了“曼哈顿计划式的态度”是为了强调共同努力的必要性。故选D项。 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。 How to Reconnect with Nature Through Writing Exploring the outdoors as a child at summer camp often meant playing by a lake, hiking along a trail, or sharing meals with fellow campers as night fell. ____16____ Writing offers a powerful tool for reconnection with the wild.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。 2.续写线索：上传新视频（介绍视频内容）→视频引发热烈反响（网友评论、分享）→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚（拥抱、对话）→两人共同设计椅子（描述设计过程）→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入，工作室重焕生机 。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find ②放置：place/put ③拥抱：embrace/hug ④开始：begin/start 情绪类 赞扬：praise/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
