Uber Boats: River Bus Services of Thames
Exploring London by boat along the River Thames is a fantastic experience. While you can take tourist cruises (游轮), a more local and integrated option is the River Bus service, which is operated by Thames Clippers and branded as Uber Boats.
As part of London’s public transport network, these boats offer a practical way to travel between points along the river, much like a bus or the subway. By going on a river bus, you’ll see London from a unique angle as it passes through the centre of the city. You will get to see most of the famous buildings and landmarks of London. The only downside is that there is no tour guide and no outdoor seating.
To board a River Bus, you can either book your ticket online in advance or purchase (购买) one at the ticket office. If the ticket office is closed, you can buy a ticket on board. You can also use your oyster card to pay for the tickets.
◆Using the oyster card
When you use an oyster card, you will automatically get a discount on the price of a single journey ticket bought at the ticket office. All you need to do is tap your oyster card on the yellow card reader when boarding and stepping off the boat.
◆Price for kids
Children aged 5 — 15 receive a 50% discount on the price of a ticket and children under 5 travel for free.

My exposure to diverse cultures and global perspectives was limited. However, during my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to participate in a cross-cultural exchange program that opened my eyes to the beauty and importance of global engagement. This experience not only broadened my horizons (视野), but also shaped my worldview and made me realize the value of learning from different cultures.
My cross-cultural experience began when I was selected to visit a school in Nicaragua. As we arrived in the capital city, Managua, I was immediately struck by the stark contrast to my own hometown. The busy and noisy city, the colorful buildings, and the crowded street markets all seemed like scenes from a different world. I realized, at that time, that this journey would be a transformative experience.
During our time in Nicaragua, we stayed with a local host family who warmly welcomed us into their homes. This immersion (沉浸) into the local culture allowed us to experience firsthand the daily lives of Nicaraguan people. I still remember the smell of homemade food, the sound of children playing in the streets, and the warmth and hospitality of our host family. Despite the language barrier, we quickly formed deep connections and friendships that transcended (超越) words.
One particular experience stands out in my memory. One evening, our host family invited us to a traditional Nicaraguan celebration. As we arrived at the colorful square, I was amazed by the sights and sounds that surrounded us. The rhythmic beats of traditional music filled the air, and people were joyously dancing and celebrating. It was at that moment when I found myself moving to the rhythm and enjoying the local customs that I realized the power of cultural exchange. I felt a sense of unity and connection with the people around me, despite our differences. This experience taught me that understanding and respecting different cultures can bring people closer together and help build a more connected world.
24.How did the exchange program affect the author?
A.It shaped his view on his country. B.It made him fall in love with travel.
C.It deepened his understanding of the world. D.It helped him know the importance of learning.
25.What does the underlined word “stark” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Clear. B.Fair. C.Expected. D.Common.
26.What did the author say about the language barrier?
A.It created misunderstandings at first. B.It made cultural immersion impossible.
C.It failed to block genuine human bonds. D.It was overcome through formal lessons.
27.What did the author learn from the exchange program?
A.Music and dance were universal languages.
B.Celebrations brought people together naturally.
C.Local customs were worth experiencing firsthand.
D.True connection went beyond cultural differences.

A group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air.
Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the technique more popular. The technique could make a big difference in places like the city of Abeokuta. Violent conflicts and desertification — the process by which rich land becomes desert — have made huge amounts of land unsuitable for farming.
Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. “We are putting an end to seasonal food shortage in Nigeria,” said Ogbole, “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires — we are not depending on seasons. So it’s no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning you can plant anytime of the year. We can harvest anytime of the year,” said Ogbole.
But setting up the aeroponic farm was not easy. It required more than $210,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming. “It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about aeroponics,” said Ogbole.
In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78. 5 million hectares required for food security. Violent conflicts and desertification are the top reasons the farmland is being lost. And only 49 percent of the land is rich. Besides, most farmers do not have the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They are also in need of high-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. For now, technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.
28.What is special about aeroponics?
A.Crops are not grown in soil. B.Crops can grow all by themselves.
C.Crops without roots can grow well. D.Crops can grow well without water.
29.What does the new method enable farmers to do?
A.Reduce the costs of farming. B.Produce crops of higher quality.
C.Grow crops whenever they like. D.Keep crops fresh for a longer period.
30.What do we know about Abeokuta from the passage?
A.There is plenty of rich land there. B.Most farmers there are technologically skilled ones.
C.Many farmers there are terribly violent. D.Some people there don’t approve of aeroponics.
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Ways to turn deserts into rich land. B.A new approach to growing crops.
C.Techniques for developing high-quality seeds. D.The importance of fighting against desertification.
D
“Digital switching” is a term that refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it.
Kay Y.Y.Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.
“As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.
In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.
“I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.”
The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom.
Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.
32.What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory?
A.The feeling of boredom. B.The unsatisfied desire.
C.The degree of engagement. D.The lack of emotion.
33.What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on?
A.Its reason. B.Its consequence. C.The theory behind it. D.The solution to it.
34.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To solve a problem. B.To make a suggestion.
C.To raise a question. D.To give a warning.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Digital Switching: the End of Endless Boredom
B.Digital Switching: the Result of Endless Boredom
C.Digital Switching: the Trap of Endless Boredom
D.Digital Switching: the Root of Endless Boredom

Air travel has become a routine part of modern life. 36 If you’re planning on being one of them soon, you might not be looking forward to the unpleasant feeling air travel often leaves you with.
37 Although the pressure of the cabin is adjusted to prevent altitude sickness, you could still experience sleepiness or a headache. The lower oxygen pressure found in an aircraft cabin is equivalent to that at 6,000—8,000 feet of altitude. A drop in oxygen pressure can cause headaches in certain individuals. To help prevent headaches, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol and coffee.
38 The air you breathe in a plane dries out your mouth and nose, which can affect your sense of taste. Perception of sweet and salty foods dropped by almost 30 percent in a simulation (模拟) of air travel. 39 A dry mouth may reduce taste sensitivity, but taste is restored by drinking fluids.
Although in-flight infections thrive in dry environments like airplanes, your risk of getting sick from an airplane is actually low because of the air filters used. 40 The main concern arises when you are seated near someone exhibiting cold or flu symptoms. For further protection, keep in mind that bacteria can survive on cabin surfaces, so regular hand-washing is recommended.
A.You may worry about getting sick in it.
B.Millions of people travel by plane every single day.
C.Travelling at a high altitude has real effects on the body.
D.It still comes with a wide range of physical discomforts.
E.Generally, the cabin air poses minimal risk of airborne illness.
F.However, you can make your taste buds active again by drinking water.
G.Airplane food might not really be as tasteless as you originally thought.

Emma was a high school student who was passionate about environmental protection. One sunny Saturday, she and her best friend, Lily, decided to go to the local park for a volunteer clean-up. They had heard that the park, once a beautiful natural spot, had been filled with litter due to the large number of visitors during the recent holidays.
When they arrived at the park, they were shocked by what they saw. The grass was covered with plastic bottles, food wrappers, and cigarette butts. The lake was filled with floating trash, making it look like a garbage dump. Emma and Lily quickly put on their gloves and took out the trash bags they had brought. They started by picking up the litter on the grass, putting each piece into the bag carefully.
As they were working, they noticed a group of kids playing nearby. Some of the kids were throwing empty snack bags on the ground instead of using the trash cans. Emma walked over to them with a friendly smile, “Hey, guys! Do you know that littering is bad for the environment? The park will be much prettier if we all keep it clean.” One of the boys looked at her and said, “But it’s just a small piece of trash. It won’t make a difference.”
Just then, a strong wind blew, and a plastic bag flew into the lake. Emma pointed to it and said, “See, that small piece of trash can end up in the water and harm the fish and other animals that live there.” The kids seemed to think about what she said.
Suddenly, a park ranger rushed towards them. He looked worried and said, “There’s been an accident! A large barrel of chemical waste has leaked near the park’s water source. We need to stop it from polluting the whole water system!”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

M: Good morning, everyone, I’m Leo Chen. We are gathered here today to Mark the 15th anniversary of the Sunrise Future Project. Many of you have offered your time. Whether by working at the community center or tutoring at the local learning center, on behalf of everyone whose life has been touched by this project, I extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you.
I speak from my own experience. At 16 I faced a difficult family situation and had no stable home. It was then that a social worker connected me with the Sunrise volunteer. That was the turning point. Through the project, I received not only a safe place to stay, but also the steady academic guidance and help in developing practical skills. Today, I am pursuing further studies at a college, spending several hours each week as a volunteer at the very same community center.
There I meet teenagers who are going through challenges similar to what I once faced. It reminds me daily how powerful your generosity can be. Now it is my great honor to invite our Chairman, Elena Wright, who will share with us the inspiring story of how the Sunrise Future Project began.

Uber Boats: River Bus Services of Thames
Exploring London by boat along the River Thames is a fantastic experience. While you can take tourist cruises (游轮), a more local and integrated option is the River Bus service, which is operated by Thames Clippers and branded as Uber Boats.
As part of London’s public transport network, these boats offer a practical way to travel between points along the river, much like a bus or the subway. By going on a river bus, you’ll see London from a unique angle as it passes through the centre of the city. You will get to see most of the famous buildings and landmarks of London. The only downside is that there is no tour guide and no outdoor seating.
To board a River Bus, you can either book your ticket online in advance or purchase (购买) one at the ticket office. If the ticket office is closed, you can buy a ticket on board. You can also use your oyster card to pay for the tickets.
◆Using the oyster card
When you use an oyster card, you will automatically get a discount on the price of a single journey ticket bought at the ticket office. All you need to do is tap your oyster card on the yellow card reader when boarding and stepping off the boat.
◆Price for kids
Children aged 5 — 15 receive a 50% discount on the price of a ticket and children under 5 travel for free.
◆Price comparison

My exposure to diverse cultures and global perspectives was limited. However, during my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to participate in a cross-cultural exchange program that opened my eyes to the beauty and importance of global engagement. This experience not only broadened my horizons (视野), but also shaped my worldview and made me realize the value of learning from different cultures.
My cross-cultural experience began when I was selected to visit a school in Nicaragua. As we arrived in the capital city, Managua, I was immediately struck by the stark contrast to my own hometown. The busy and noisy city, the colorful buildings, and the crowded street markets all seemed like scenes from a different world. I realized, at that time, that this journey would be a transformative experience.
During our time in Nicaragua, we stayed with a local host family who warmly welcomed us into their homes. This immersion (沉浸) into the local culture allowed us to experience firsthand the daily lives of Nicaraguan people. I still remember the smell of homemade food, the sound of children playing in the streets, and the warmth and hospitality of our host family. Despite the language barrier, we quickly formed deep connections and friendships that transcended (超越) words.
One particular experience stands out in my memory. One evening, our host family invited us to a traditional Nicaraguan celebration. As we arrived at the colorful square, I was amazed by the sights and sounds that surrounded us. The rhythmic beats of traditional music filled the air, and people were joyously dancing and celebrating. It was at that moment when I found myself moving to the rhythm and enjoying the local customs that I realized the power of cultural exchange. I felt a sense of unity and connection with the people around me, despite our differences. This experience taught me that understanding and respecting different cultures can bring people closer together and help build a more connected world.
24.How did the exchange program affect the author?
A.It shaped his view on his country. B.It made him fall in love with travel.
C.It deepened his understanding of the world. D.It helped him know the importance of learning.
25.What does the underlined word “stark” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Clear. B.Fair. C.Expected. D.Common.
26.What did the author say about the language barrier?
A.It created misunderstandings at first. B.It made cultural immersion impossible.
C.It failed to block genuine human bonds. D.It was overcome through formal lessons.
27.What did the author learn from the exchange program?
A.Music and dance were universal languages.
B.Celebrations brought people together naturally.
C.Local customs were worth experiencing firsthand.
D.True connection went beyond cultural differences.

A group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air.
Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the technique more popular. The technique could make a big difference in places like the city of Abeokuta. Violent conflicts and desertification — the process by which rich land becomes desert — have made huge amounts of land unsuitable for farming.
Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. “We are putting an end to seasonal food shortage in Nigeria,” said Ogbole, “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires — we are not depending on seasons. So it’s no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning you can plant anytime of the year. We can harvest anytime of the year,” said Ogbole.
But setting up the aeroponic farm was not easy. It required more than $210,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming. “It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about aeroponics,” said Ogbole.
In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78. 5 million hectares required for food security. Violent conflicts and desertification are the top reasons the farmland is being lost. And only 49 percent of the land is rich. Besides, most farmers do not have the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They are also in need of high-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. For now, technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.
28.What is special about aeroponics?
A.Crops are not grown in soil. B.Crops can grow all by themselves.
C.Crops without roots can grow well. D.Crops can grow well without water.
29.What does the new method enable farmers to do?
A.Reduce the costs of farming. B.Produce crops of higher quality.
C.Grow crops whenever they like. D.Keep crops fresh for a longer period.
30.What do we know about Abeokuta from the passage?
A.There is plenty of rich land there. B.Most farmers there are technologically skilled ones.
C.Many farmers there are terribly violent. D.Some people there don’t approve of aeroponics.
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Ways to turn deserts into rich land. B.A new approach to growing crops.
C.Techniques for developing high-quality seeds. D.The importance of fighting against desertification.
【答案】28.A 29.C 30.D 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了尼日利亚的生物化学家Samson Ogbole和他的团队不需土壤就能耕作的气雾栽培技术,来解决耕地不足、食物短缺的问题。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air. (这种被称为“气雾栽培”的方法并不使用土壤。相反,植物的根部悬挂在空中)”可知,气雾栽培技术顾名思义就是耕作不使用土,而是让植株直接接触空气。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段““Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires — we are not depending on seasons. So it’s no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning you can plant anytime of the year. We can harvest anytime of the year,” said Ogbole. (Ogbole说:“因为植物所需的一切都由我们掌控——我们不再依赖季节。所以这不再是季节性种植,而是全年随时都能耕作,也就是说你可以随时种植,随时收获。”)”可知,气雾栽培技术的之一是农民可以随时种植作物。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段“And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming.(而阿贝奥库塔的一些人则强烈反对这种非传统的耕作方式)”可知,在阿贝奥库塔的一些人非常反对气雾栽培技术。故选D 。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“A group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air. (在尼日利亚,有一群农民正在采用一种基于技术的种植方法来种植作物。这种方法被称为“气雾栽培”,它不使用土壤。相反,植物的根部悬挂在空中)”可知,文章主要说明了尼日利亚的生物化学家Samson Ogbole和他的团队不需土壤就能耕作的气雾栽培技术,来解决耕地不足、食物短缺的问题。由此可知,文章主要介绍了一种新的耕作方法。故选B。

“Digital switching” is a term that refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it.
Kay Y.Y.Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.
“As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.
In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.
“I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.”
The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom.
Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.
32.What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory?
A.The feeling of boredom. B.The unsatisfied desire.
C.The degree of engagement. D.The lack of emotion.
33.What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on?
A.Its reason. B.Its consequence. C.The theory behind it. D.The solution to it.
34.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To solve a problem. B.To make a suggestion.
C.To raise a question. D.To give a warning.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Digital Switching: the End of Endless Boredom
B.Digital Switching: the Result of Endless Boredom
C.Digital Switching: the Trap of Endless Boredom
D.Digital Switching: the Root of Endless Boredom
【答案】32.B 33.B 34.D 35.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“数字转换”以及这种行为产生的原因和带来的影响。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段“Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.(她提出,无聊的根源在于注意力的转移。当人们实际感受到的投入程度和他们想要感受到的投入程度之间存在差距时,这些转移就会发生。当情况缺乏新意或意义时,这种不愉快的情绪就会产生)”可知,根据Tam的理论,注意力转移的原因是未满足的欲望。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段““As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.(“由于数字切换涉及到频繁的注意力转移,我想知道这种行为会如何影响我们的无聊感,”Tam说)”可知,Tam对“数字转移”的研究重点是最终导致的结果。故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(无聊可以激励人们去探索周围的环境,停止在没有什么意义的活动上投入时间。然而,如果我们过于依赖快速脱离,就会像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树去寻找食物,而没有停留足够长的时间来看看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的危险)”可知,最后一段的主要目的是给出警告。故选D。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段““Digital switching” is a term refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it.(“数字转换”是一个术语,指的是在网络视频中快速切换的现代习惯。来自加拿大的研究人员对此进行了一些探索)”可知,文章主要解释了什么是“数字转换”以及这种行为产生的原因和带来的影响可知,C选项“数字转换:无尽无聊的陷阱”最符合文章标题。故选C。
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。
Air travel has become a routine part of modern life. 36 If you’re planning on being one of them soon, you might not be looking forward to the unpleasant feeling air travel often leaves you with.
37 Although the pressure of the cabin is adjusted to prevent altitude sickness, you could still experience sleepiness or a headache. The lower oxygen pressure found in an aircraft cabin is equivalent to that at 6,000—8,000 feet of altitude. A drop in oxygen pressure can cause headaches in certain individuals. To help prevent headaches, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol and coffee.
38 The air you breathe in a plane dries out your mouth and nose, which can affect your sense of taste. Perception of sweet and salty foods dropped by almost 30 percent in a simulation (模拟) of air travel. 39 A dry mouth may reduce taste sensitivity, but taste is restored by drinking fluids.
Although in-flight infections thrive in dry environments like airplanes, your risk of getting sick from an airplane is actually low because of the air filters used. 40 The main concern arises when you are seated near someone exhibiting cold or flu symptoms. For further protection, keep in mind that bacteria can survive on cabin surfaces, so regular hand-washing is recommended.
A.You may worry about getting sick in it.
B.Millions of people travel by plane every single day.
C.Travelling at a high altitude has real effects on the body.
D.It still comes with a wide range of physical discomforts.
E.Generally, the cabin air poses minimal risk of airborne illness.
F.However, you can make your taste buds active again by drinking water.
G.Airplane food might not really be as tasteless as you originally thought.
【答案】36.B 37.C 38.G 39.F 40.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了乘坐飞机旅行时可能给身体带来的几种不适,包括头痛、味觉变化以及感染风险等,并给出了相应的缓解或预防建议。
36.前文“Air travel has become a routine part of modern life. (航空旅行已成为现代生活中常规的一部分。)”提到航空旅行很普遍,后文“If you’re planning on being one of them soon, you might not be looking forward to the unpleasant feeling air travel often leaves you with. (如果你打算很快成为其中一员,你可能不会期待航空旅行常留给你的那种不适感。)”提到你打算也成为其中一员,中间应补充说明每天有很多人乘坐飞机。B选项“每天有数百万人乘坐飞机旅行。”表明该意,且其中的“Millions of people”与后文的“one of them”形成呼应,说明了航空旅行的普遍性。故选B。
37.根据后文“Although the pressure of the cabin is adjusted to prevent altitude sickness, you could still experience sleepiness or a headache. (尽管机舱压力经过调整以防止高反,但你仍然可能会感到困倦或头痛。)”可知,本段主要讲述高空飞行对身体的影响,段内后续内容解释造成这种身体不适的原因。C选项“高海拔飞行旅行对身体确有影响。”能够总领本段,引起下文所谈的头疼等不适及其原因。故选C。
38.根据后文“The air you breathe in a plane dries out your mouth and nose, which can affect your sense of taste. Perception of sweet and salty foods dropped by almost 30 percent in a simulation (模拟) of air travel. (你在飞机上呼吸的空气会使口鼻干燥,这会影响味觉。在一次航空旅行的模拟实验中,人们对甜味和咸味食物的感知度下降了近30%。)”表明味觉在高空中受到了影响。G选项“飞机餐可能并不像你最初想的那么寡淡。”与上述后文形成逻辑上的反转,后文是对G选项进行的具体解释。故选G。
39.后文“A dry mouth may reduce taste sensitivity, but taste is restored by drinking fluids. (口干可能会降低味觉敏感度,但通过喝水可以恢复味觉。)”给出解决味觉下降的方法。F选项“然而,你可以通过喝水让你的味蕾重新活跃起来。”中的“make your taste buds active again”与后文中的“taste is restored”形成呼应;且该选项中的“by drinking water”与后文中的“by drinking fluids”意思一致,能够形成顺承关系。故选F。
40.前文“Although in-flight infections thrive in dry environments like airplanes, your risk of getting sick from an airplane is actually low because of the air filters used. (尽管像飞机这样的干燥环境中感染容易滋生,但由于使用了空气过滤器,你在飞机上生病的风险实际上很低。)”指出飞机上生病总体风险较低,后文“The main concern arises when you are seated near someone exhibiting cold or flu symptoms. (当你坐在表现出感冒或流感症状的人附近时,主要的担忧才会出现。)”指出特殊情况下的风险。E选项“一般来说,机舱空气带来空气传播疾病的风险极低。”是对前文的同义替换和总结,且“Generally”与后文提到的特殊情况形成转折关系,逻辑严密。故选E。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了城市慢跑近年来在城市年轻人中已发展成为一种流行的生活方式。
56.考查非谓语动词。句意:多年来,跑步者在黎明时分漫步在城市的道路上,探索城市隐藏的文化之美,他们逐渐与所跑过的街道建立起一种特殊的联系。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词have developed,所以此处应用非谓语动词,runners与explore之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词exploring作伴随状语。故填exploring。
57.考查副词。句意:多年来,跑步者在黎明时分漫步在城市的道路上,探索城市隐藏的文化之美,他们逐渐与所跑过的街道建立起一种特殊的联系。此处修饰动词have developed,应用副词gradually,意为“逐渐地”。故填gradually。

60.考查名词。句意:许多当地的跑步者承认,直到他们放慢脚步,关注周围的细节,他们才注意到城市文化那微妙的温暖。根据the和of可知,此处应用名词warmth,意为“温暖”,作notice的宾语,warmth是不可数名词。故填warmth。
61.考查动词时态和语态。句意:这种健康的趋势被更多市民视为体育锻炼和文化体验的桥梁。句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语This healthy trend与regard之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是单数,所以用is regarded,be regarded as意为“被视为”。故填is regarded。
62.考查形容词比较级。句意:当地政府精心设计了融合文化景观的慢跑路线,使锻炼更有意义。根据语境,将融入文化景观的慢跑路线与之前的情况对比,应用比较级,meaningful的比较级为more meaningful,意为“更有意义的”,作宾语补足语。故填more meaningful。
63.考查连词。句意:这种生活方式丰富了城市精神生活的深度,给忙碌的现代人带来内心的平静。enriches the depth of urban spiritual life和brings inner peace to busy modern people是并列关系,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
64.考查动词时态。句意:到目前为止,文化慢跑的趋势已经赢得了数百万年轻人的心。根据时间状语Up to now可知,此处强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语the trend of cultural jogging是单数,所以用has won。故填has won。
65.考查非谓语动词。句意:以健康的方式发现城市迷人的一面,分享城市文化的活力,这正是它帮助他们做到的。此处应用动词不定式作主语,表示具体的、一次性的动作,所以用To discover,句首单词首字母大写。故填To discover。

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。
Emma was a high school student who was passionate about environmental protection. One sunny Saturday, she and her best friend, Lily, decided to go to the local park for a volunteer clean-up. They had heard that the park, once a beautiful natural spot, had been filled with litter due to the large number of visitors during the recent holidays.
When they arrived at the park, they were shocked by what they saw. The grass was covered with plastic bottles, food wrappers, and cigarette butts. The lake was filled with floating trash, making it look like a garbage dump. Emma and Lily quickly put on their gloves and took out the trash bags they had brought. They started by picking up the litter on the grass, putting each piece into the bag carefully.
As they were working, they noticed a group of kids playing nearby. Some of the kids were throwing empty snack bags on the ground instead of using the trash cans. Emma walked over to them with a friendly smile, “Hey, guys! Do you know that littering is bad for the environment? The park will be much prettier if we all keep it clean.” One of the boys looked at her and said, “But it’s just a small piece of trash. It won’t make a difference.”
Just then, a strong wind blew, and a plastic bag flew into the lake. Emma pointed to it and said, “See, that small piece of trash can end up in the water and harm the fish and other animals that live there.” The kids seemed to think about what she said.
Suddenly, a park ranger rushed towards them. He looked worried and said, “There’s been an accident! A large barrel of chemical waste has leaked near the park’s water source. We need to stop it from polluting the whole water system!”
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。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Emma and Lily immediately decided to help. They first gathered the group of kids who had been littering, explaining the urgency of the situation. “Every hand counts right now,” Emma said firmly, and the kids nodded, eager to make amends. The ranger handed them protective masks and pointed to the sandbags stored nearby. Together, they carried the heavy sandbags to the leak site, stacking them in a circle around the barrel to contain the spreading chemical waste. Lily used a small shovel to dig a shallow ditch, diverting the small amount of leaked waste away from the water source, while Emma kept watch to ensure no waste seeped through the sandbag barrier.
Finally, with their combined efforts, the leak was stopped. The ranger let out a sigh of relief, patting the kids on the back. “You all did a fantastic job — this could have been a disaster without your help,” he said. The sun was setting as they packed up, and the park looked a little cleaner already. The kids promised to never litter again and even said they’d come back to help with future clean-ups. Emma and Lily walked home tired but happy, knowing that their passion for the environment had not only made a difference that day but also inspired the next generation to care for the planet.
【导语】本文以公园环保为线索展开,讲述Emma和Lily到公园志愿清理垃圾,劝说乱扔垃圾的孩子时,得知公园水源附近有化学废料桶泄漏,众人合力阻止污染。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
