Here are some who have left permanent marks on American horticultural history. Jane Colden In the 1750s, Colden became the first female American botanist. She is credited with naming and classifying hundreds of native plants in the Hudson River Valley. She drew each of the plants she named, and described them in detail in her book Flora of New York. Beatrix Farrand Known as the First Lady of American Society of Landscape architects, Farrand designed more than 100 gardens for private houses and gardening clubs. One of her best-known projects was the White House’s East Garden during the Wilson Presidency. In 1899, at age 27, the self-taught Farrand became the only woman among the founders of the American Society of Landscape architects. Carrie Lippincott To contribute to her family’s income, Lippincott started a seed (种子) business in 1886. Calling herself the “Pioneer Seedswoman of America”, she published the first seed catalog targeted to women, which featured a conversational introduction and pictures of women, children and flowers at a time when other catalogs were simply text on paper. She completely changed the way seeds were sold, which was soon copied by competing seed companies. Marie Clark Taylor In 1941, Taylor became the first Black woman to receive a Ph. D in botany in the United States. As an educator, she applied her research on the effect of light on plant growth to change the way high school science was taught. She encouraged the use of light microscopes in the classroom for the first time. In the mid-1960s, President Lyndon Johnson asked her to expand her teaching methods nationwide. 1. When was Beatrix Farrand born? A. In 1750. B. In 1872. C. In 1899. D. In 1941. 2. What can we know about the “Pioneer Seedswoman of America”? A. She was born into a wealthy family. B. She founded the first seed company. C. She improved the way of selling seeds. D. She was the first American garden architect. 3. What do Jane Colden and Marie Clark Taylor have in common? A. They are famous educators. B. They have had a doctorate degree. C. They are self-taught scientists. D. They have a wide knowledge of plants. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四位在美国园艺史上留下印记的女性先驱，她们分别在植物研究、园林设计、种子销售和植物教学领域做出了突出贡献。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1899, at age 27, the self-taught Farrand became the only woman among the founders of the American Society of Landscape architects.(1899年，27岁的弗兰德凭借自学而成的技艺，成为了美国景观建筑师协会的创始人中唯一的女性)”可知，贝蒂丝·法兰德1872（1899-27）年出生。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Calling herself the “Pioneer Seedswoman of America”, she published the first seed catalog targeted to women, which featured a conversational introduction and pictures of women, children and flowers at a time when other catalogs were simply text on paper. She completely changed the way seeds were sold, which was soon copied by competing seed companies.(她自称是“美国的先锋种子销售商”，并出版了第一本专为女性设计的种子目录。该目录采用了对话式的介绍方式，并配有女性、儿童和花朵的图片，而当时其他目录还只是简单的纸质文字。她彻底改变了种子的销售方式，这一做法很快被竞争对手的种子公司所效仿)”可知，美国先锋种子公司创始人改进了种子的销售方式。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jane Colden部分“In the 1750s, Colden became the first female American botanist. She is credited with naming and classifying hundreds of native plants in the Hudson River Valley. She drew each of the plants she named, and described them in detail in her book Flora of New York.(在18世纪50年代，科尔登成为了美国第一位女性植物学家。她因命名和分类了哈德逊河谷地区的数百种本土植物而受到赞誉。她为每一种她所命名的植物都绘制了图样，并在她的著作《纽约植物志》中对其进行了详细描述)”以及Marie Clark Taylor部分“In 1941, Taylor became the first Black woman to receive a Ph. D in botany in the United States.(1941年，泰勒成为美国首位获得植物学博士学位的黑人女性)”可知，她们都对植物有着广泛的了解。故选D。 B In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed. Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing. Before Silent Spring, Carson was a marine biologist and writer. She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides. She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts. Knowing her work would be criticized, Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth. She continued her efforts even while she was sick, and she died in 1964. However, her influence lived on. Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement, led to the ban of DDT in the U.S., and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist. 4. Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring? A. They found numerous scientific errors in the book. B. Carson refused to share her research data with them. C. They believed the book would confuse the general public. D. Carson’s warnings posed a threat to their business interests. 5. How did Carson’s personal background contribute to her environmental work? A. Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research. B. Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution. C. Her family’s farm gave her practical experience in using agricultural chemicals. D. Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy. 6. The text suggests that Carson’s research for the book was characterized by its ________. A. comprehensiveness and various sources B. reliance on government reports C. focus on theoretical models D. speed and efficiency 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The scientific process behind banning DDT. B. The remarkable and lasting impacts of Rachel Carson’s book. C. The history of pesticide use in the United States. D. The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述1962年美国生物学家蕾切尔·卡森出版《寂静的春天》，该书警示无节制使用杀虫剂对环境的危害，引发了广泛争议。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices.(化工企业对此强烈反对，因为卡森的警告可能会威胁到他们现有的盈利模式)”可知，化学公司反对《寂静的春天》是因为卡森的警告对他们的商业利益构成了威胁，故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing.(卡森与大自然的深厚联系始于她童年时期在宾夕法尼亚州的经历。在那里，她经常在自家附近的森林和溪流中探险。这份热爱促使她学习了生物学，而这些知识后来也帮助她用于自己的写作中)”可知，卡森童年的经历和生物学方面的正规教育塑造了她对环保事业的倡导，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides.(她花了四年时间对该书进行了详尽的研究，从科学研究中收集证据，并与那些亲眼目睹过农药影响的农民和渔民进行了交流)”可知，卡森为这本书做的研究全面且资料来源多样，故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed.( 1962年，美国生物学家蕾切尔·卡森出版了《寂静的春天》一书，这本书彻底改变了人们对自然的看法。书中警告称，有害且不受控制地使用杀虫剂正在污染环境，并可能导致一个没有鸟鸣声的“寂静春天”。这本书引发了激烈的争论。化学公司强烈反对这本书，因为卡森的警告威胁到了他们既定且盈利的生产方式。尽管面临这种反对，这本书还是提高了全球对自然容易受到损害这一现象的认识)”可知，文章围绕蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》展开，讲述了书的内容、引发的争议、卡森的背景及研究过程，还提到书带来的持久影响，可知，这篇文章的主要观点是蕾切尔·卡森的作品所产生的显著且持久的影响。故选B项。 C It was the summer before junior year. I was a waitress at a little restaurant. My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible. These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer. They’re what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs. I developed those skills. But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working. So much happened in the interstitial (空隙的) time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers. This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known. High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school. But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school. This relief came not from avoiding people, but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school. The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them. 8. What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work? A. Earning money for college. B. Learning to form a community. C. Developing responsibility and skills. D. Making friends with different people. 9. What does the author say about high school life? A. It lacks meaningful activities. B. It focuses on academics. C. It is highly school-centered. D. It provides adequate social opportunities. 10. What did the author learn from people at the restaurant? A. Friends should share similar interests. B. Workplace relationships are temporary. C. True friendship requires constant agreement. D. Meaningful connections can bridge differences. 11. What is the author’s main conclusion about her job experience? A. It helped improve her academic performance. B. Its greatest value went beyond skill development. C. It confirmed traditional views about student jobs. D. Its main benefit was earning teachers’ approval. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己暑假在餐厅做服务员的经历，说明高中生打工的真正价值不仅在于培养技能与责任感，更在于学会与不同的人建立联结、拓展社交圈。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer.(这些价值观和技能是众多研究认为青少年应该在暑期打工的重要原因。)”以及第一段中“My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible.(我的工作职责很简单：点餐、上菜、清理餐桌。我变得非常擅长同时处理多项任务，而肩负诸多责任也让我更有责任心了。)” 可知，人们普遍认为青少年打工的主要好处是培养责任感和技能。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school.(高中生每天大约上7小时课，之后还常常参加校内体育或活动。沉浸在校园生活中未必是坏事。)”可知，作者认为高中生活高度以学校为中心。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them.(我在餐厅遇到的人让我明白，你可以和比你年长几十岁、兴趣爱好完全不同的人成为朋友。他们让我懂得，即使与他人意见分歧很大，依然可以尊重、学习并关爱对方。)”可知，作者学到有意义的关系可以跨越差异。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working.(但我认为那并不是高中生打工的主要收获。)”和第三段“This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known.(我认为高中生打工的价值在于：学会与原本不可能认识的人建立群体联结。)”可知，作者认为这份经历最大的价值远超技能培养。故选B项。 D Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 12. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining. 13. Retention bans require fishermen to ________. A. avoid fishing in shark habitats B. release accidentally caught sharks C. use special equipment to protect sharks D. limit the number of sharks caught per year 14. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A. Deep-water species. B. Large species near the coast. C. Those living in shallow waters. D. Species with slow reproductive rates. 15. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C. The retention bans need to be changed completely. D. Focusing only on young sharks is important. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于捕鱼活动，鲨鱼正以惊人的速度死亡，留存禁令不足以有效保护鲨鱼，需采取综合措施。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction.(全球近三分之一的鲨鱼物种面临灭绝威胁)”可知，鲨鱼死亡情况严重，“staggering”在此处应表示“惊人的，令人震惊的”，与“Alarming”意思相符。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks.(作为回应，区域渔业管理组织引入了留存禁令，要求渔民释放意外捕获的鲨鱼)”可知，留存禁令要求渔民释放意外捕获的鲨鱼。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe.(他们的发现显示，某些群体的鲨鱼在放生后的死亡率特别高：体型较小的鲨鱼、深水物种以及需要不断游动才能呼吸的鲨鱼)”可知，深水物种的鲨鱼放生后最有可能死亡。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures.(作者强调，留存禁令是良好的第一步，但必须与其他措施相结合)”以及后面提到的其他措施可知，本段主要讲需要更广泛的措施来有效保护鲨鱼。故选A。 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。 What kind of things did you ask an AI tool to do for you recently? ____16____. But some experts are worried that asking AI to do such tasks means your brain is working less, and that it might be damaging your critical thinking and independent problem-solving ability. Earlier this year, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) carried out an experiment. ____17____. The study revealed that higher confidence in the tools’ ability to perform a task was related to less critical thinking effort. “____18____, we are worried that long-term over-reliance on AI could be harmful for critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills,” the researchers warned. Schoolchildren in the UK were similarly surveyed in a study published in October by Oxford University. ____19____. So, with the massive explosion of AI use, are our critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills really at risk of decline and should they be abandoned? “Not necessarily,” said Dr Alexandra Tomescu, an AI specialist who worked on the school survey. “Nine in 10 students told us that AI tools have helped them develop at least one skill related to schoolwork-be it creativity or revision. But at the same time, about a quarter said that AI tools made it too easy to do work for them. ____20____.” A. So it’s quite a mixed picture B. It came to the same conclusion C. Although they turned to AI tools a lot D. While AI tools can increase efficiency at work E. It ranged from tracking down information sources to writing essays F. Maybe you used it to summarize an essay or analyze data for new ideas G. They studied 319 white-collar workers who frequently used AI tools for their jobs 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述过度依赖AI或削弱思辨能力，但AI也有助学生提升相关技能。 【16题详解】 上文“What kind of things did you ask an AI tool to do for you recently?(你最近让人工智能工具为你做过哪些事？)”提出关于人们使用AI做何事的问题。空后“But some experts are worried that asking AI to do such tasks means your brain is working less, and that it might be damaging your critical thinking and independent problem-solving ability.(但一些专家担心，让人工智能来完成此类任务意味着你的大脑运转减少了，而且这可能会损害你的批判性思维能力和独立解决问题的能力)”转折引出专家担忧。空处承接问句，举例人们使用AI的日常事情。选项F“Maybe you used it to summarize an essay or analyze data for new ideas(或许你用它总结文章、分析数据获取新想法)”贴合问句语境，引出后文。 【17题详解】 上文“Earlier this year, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) carried out an experiment.(今年早些时候，麻省理工学院的研究人员开展了一项实验)”点明开展实验。空后“The study revealed that higher confidence in the tools’ ability to perform a task was related to less critical thinking effort.(研究发现越信赖AI做事，思辨投入就越少)”给出实验结论。空处介绍实验的过程或方法。选项G“They studied 319 white-collar workers who frequently used AI tools for their jobs(他们研究了319名工作中常使用AI的白领)”承接实验背景，衔接后文结论。 【18题详解】 空后“we are worried that long-term over-reliance on AI could be harmful for critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills(我们担心长期过度依赖AI会损害思辨和独立解决问题的能力)”表述过度依赖AI的危害。空处与后文构成让步转折关系。选项D“While AI tools can increase efficiency at work(虽然人工智能工具能提升工作效率)”先肯定AI优势，再转折讲弊端，逻辑通顺。 【19题详解】 上文“Schoolchildren in the UK were similarly surveyed in a study published in October by Oxford University.(牛津大学10月发布研究，对英国学童做了类似调查)”说明开展同类调查。空处承接前文，指明调查的结果。选项B“It came to the same conclusion(它得出了相同的结论)”呼应前文同类研究，衔接自然。 【20题详解】 上文“Nine in 10 students told us that AI tools have helped them develop at least one skill related to schoolwork-be it creativity or revision. But at the same time, about a quarter said that AI tools made it too easy to do work for them.(十分之九的学生告诉我们，人工智能工具帮助他们培养了至少一项与学业相关的技能——无论是创造力还是复习能力。但与此同时，约四分之一的学生表示，人工智能工具让他们做作业变得过于轻松)”说明AI工具既有帮助又有弊端，空处总结这种利弊并存的状况。选项A“So it’s quite a mixed picture(所以情况利弊参半)”对前文两种不同观点进行总结概括。 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。 In Westmoreland, Tennessee, a potentially dangerous situation turned into a heartwarming success, all thanks to teamwork and modern technology.

For a long time, I had been trapped in a constant state of annoyance: my neighbors often made loud noises late at night, ignored the shared space rules by leaving rubbish in the hallway, and never offered a helping hand when I was in need; my wife seemed to lose her temper over every little thing, making our home feel like a battlefield; even my children were distant. I complained endlessly, and blamed everyone around me, as if the whole world was against me. I couldn’t figure out what I had done wrong, and I was on the edge of giving up. Desperate for a way out, I went to see my counselor (咨询师), hoping he could give me some advice to change my unhappy life. I poured out all my complaints to him, my voice shaking with anger and sadness, and begged him to tell me how to make everyone around me become kind and reasonable. Contrary to what I expected, he did not criticize those around me, nor did he give me complicated suggestions. He just looked at me calmly and said a few simple words that would change my life forever. “You see the world as you are,” he said gently. “Think of your heart as a mirror — whatever emotion you hold, whatever attitude you have, the world will reflect them to you. If you fill your heart with anger and doubt, you will only see selfishness and unfriendliness everywhere. But if you choose kindness and patience, you will be greeted with warmth and understanding in return.” His words were like a ray of light, cutting through the darkness in my heart, but I was still doubtful. How could changing myself change everyone else? 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。 Though I was not fully convinced, I chose to try his advice as I had no better option. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my great surprise, everything around me changed almost at once. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Though I was not fully convinced, I chose to try his advice as I had no better option. That evening, when my wife complained about the messy house, I apologized for not helping and joined her in cleaning instead of arguing. When my kids left toys everywhere, I played with them rather than scolding them. The next day, seeing garbage spilling from my neighbors’ bins onto the hallway floor, I tidied it up gently, knocked on their door to mention the issue, and even offered them some extra trash bags. To my great surprise, everything around me changed almost at once. My wife smiled instead of frowning and shared her worries softly; my children became more affectionate, hugging me the moment I got home. My neighbors also became more considerate — they stayed quiet after dark, kept the hallway clean, and even brought homemade cookies to thank me. In just a few days, all my frustration was gone, replaced by warmth and a strong sense of community. I finally realized the problem was never with the world, but with my own perspective. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了作者曾经认为世界是残酷和自私的，对周围的一切充满抱怨。在咨询师的点拨下，作者领悟到“你是什么样的人，就看到什么样的世界”的道理，并尝试改变自己的态度，最终发现周围的世界也随之变得温暖友善。 【详解】： 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者如何将咨询师的建议付诸实践，具体描写作者在面对妻子、孩子和邻居时，如何改变以往的态度和行为方式，以善意和耐心取代愤怒和抱怨。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者改变态度后，周围环境发生的积极变化，包括妻子、孩子和邻居态度的转变，以及作者最终领悟到的道理。 2. 续写线索：尝试改变态度——对妻子耐心帮忙而非争吵——陪孩子玩耍而非责骂——主动帮邻居清理垃圾并提供帮助——妻子变得温柔体贴——孩子变得亲近——邻居变得友善体贴——领悟到问题根源在于自身视角。 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ① 尝试：try/attempt/give it a shot ② 抱怨：complain/grumble/find fault with ③ 道歉：apologize/say sorry/make an apology 情绪类： ① 愤怒：anger/rage/fury ② 沮丧：frustration/depression/disappointment ③ 温暖：warmth/kindness/friendliness 【点睛】【高分句型1】When my kids left toys everywhere, I played with them rather than scolding them.

Here are some who have left permanent marks on American horticultural history. Jane Colden In the 1750s, Colden became the first female American botanist. She is credited with naming and classifying hundreds of native plants in the Hudson River Valley. She drew each of the plants she named, and described them in detail in her book Flora of New York. Beatrix Farrand Known as the First Lady of American Society of Landscape architects, Farrand designed more than 100 gardens for private houses and gardening clubs. One of her best-known projects was the White House’s East Garden during the Wilson Presidency. In 1899, at age 27, the self-taught Farrand became the only woman among the founders of the American Society of Landscape architects. Carrie Lippincott To contribute to her family’s income, Lippincott started a seed (种子) business in 1886. Calling herself the “Pioneer Seedswoman of America”, she published the first seed catalog targeted to women, which featured a conversational introduction and pictures of women, children and flowers at a time when other catalogs were simply text on paper. She completely changed the way seeds were sold, which was soon copied by competing seed companies. Marie Clark Taylor In 1941, Taylor became the first Black woman to receive a Ph. D in botany in the United States. As an educator, she applied her research on the effect of light on plant growth to change the way high school science was taught. She encouraged the use of light microscopes in the classroom for the first time. In the mid-1960s, President Lyndon Johnson asked her to expand her teaching methods nationwide. 1. When was Beatrix Farrand born? A. In 1750. B. In 1872. C. In 1899. D. In 1941. 2. What can we know about the “Pioneer Seedswoman of America”? A. She was born into a wealthy family. B. She founded the first seed company. C. She improved the way of selling seeds. D. She was the first American garden architect. 3. What do Jane Colden and Marie Clark Taylor have in common? A. They are famous educators. B. They have had a doctorate degree. C. They are self-taught scientists. D. They have a wide knowledge of plants. B In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed. Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing. Before Silent Spring, Carson was a marine biologist and writer. She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides. She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts. Knowing her work would be criticized, Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth. She continued her efforts even while she was sick, and she died in 1964. However, her influence lived on. Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement, led to the ban of DDT in the U.S., and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist. 4. Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring? A. They found numerous scientific errors in the book. B. Carson refused to share her research data with them. C. They believed the book would confuse the general public. D. Carson’s warnings posed a threat to their business interests. 5. How did Carson’s personal background contribute to her environmental work? A. Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research. B. Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution. C. Her family’s farm gave her practical experience in using agricultural chemicals. D. Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy. 6. The text suggests that Carson’s research for the book was characterized by its ________. A. comprehensiveness and various sources B. reliance on government reports C. focus on theoretical models D. speed and efficiency 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The scientific process behind banning DDT. B. The remarkable and lasting impacts of Rachel Carson’s book. C. The history of pesticide use in the United States. D. The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies. C It was the summer before junior year. I was a waitress at a little restaurant. My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible. These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer. They’re what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs. I developed those skills. But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working. So much happened in the interstitial (空隙的) time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers. This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known. High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school. But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school. This relief came not from avoiding people, but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school. The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them. 8. What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work? A. Earning money for college. B. Learning to form a community. C. Developing responsibility and skills. D. Making friends with different people. 9. What does the author say about high school life? A. It lacks meaningful activities. B. It focuses on academics. C. It is highly school-centered. D. It provides adequate social opportunities. 10. What did the author learn from people at the restaurant? A. Friends should share similar interests. B. Workplace relationships are temporary. C. True friendship requires constant agreement. D. Meaningful connections can bridge differences. 11. What is the author’s main conclusion about her job experience? A. It helped improve her academic performance. B. Its greatest value went beyond skill development. C. It confirmed traditional views about student jobs. D. Its main benefit was earning teachers’ approval. D Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 12. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining. 13. Retention bans require fishermen to ________. A. avoid fishing in shark habitats B. release accidentally caught sharks C. use special equipment to protect sharks D. limit the number of sharks caught per year 14. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A. Deep-water species. B. Large species near the coast. C. Those living in shallow waters. D. Species with slow reproductive rates. 15. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C. The retention bans need to be changed completely. D. Focusing only on young sharks is important. 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。 What kind of things did you ask an AI tool to do for you recently? ____16____.

For a long time, I had been trapped in a constant state of annoyance: my neighbors often made loud noises late at night, ignored the shared space rules by leaving rubbish in the hallway, and never offered a helping hand when I was in need; my wife seemed to lose her temper over every little thing, making our home feel like a battlefield; even my children were distant. I complained endlessly, and blamed everyone around me, as if the whole world was against me. I couldn’t figure out what I had done wrong, and I was on the edge of giving up. Desperate for a way out, I went to see my counselor (咨询师), hoping he could give me some advice to change my unhappy life. I poured out all my complaints to him, my voice shaking with anger and sadness, and begged him to tell me how to make everyone around me become kind and reasonable. Contrary to what I expected, he did not criticize those around me, nor did he give me complicated suggestions. He just looked at me calmly and said a few simple words that would change my life forever. “You see the world as you are,” he said gently. “Think of your heart as a mirror — whatever emotion you hold, whatever attitude you have, the world will reflect them to you. If you fill your heart with anger and doubt, you will only see selfishness and unfriendliness everywhere. But if you choose kindness and patience, you will be greeted with warmth and understanding in return.” His words were like a ray of light, cutting through the darkness in my heart, but I was still doubtful. How could changing myself change everyone else? 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。 Though I was not fully convinced, I chose to try his advice as I had no better option. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my great surprise, everything around me changed almost at once. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
