Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is a major trend in modern Chinese opera circle. As times change, traditional opera has gradually lost its elderly audience and failed to appeal to young people. To attract the new generation, the opera circle is working to create updated works.
Facing an aging audience, Peking Opera has adopted modern sound, light and digital stage effects to attract young people in creative ways.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing now presents fashionable Peking Opera performances. It combines music, vocal skills, mime, dance and acrobatics. With special art experience sections and new shows, the theater has attracted over 2,000 audience numbers, mostly young people, according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer in Tianleyuan, who has 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added.
8. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important?
A. To run after fashion. B. To draw the young audience.
C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle.
9. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater?
A. It stays away from new art styles.
B. It pays little attention to young viewers.
C. It tries new ways to show Peking Opera.
D. It keeps all old performing rules strictly.
10. How does Deng feel about the innovation of jingju?
A. Favourable. B. Unreliable. C. Worthless. D. Conservative.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Classic jingju plays are popular among elderly people.
B. Traditional opera is being innovated to win over young people.
C. Young performers have rich stage experience in Peking Opera.
D. Modern art forms have completely changed traditional operas.
D
Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and each may unintentionally contribute to the melting of 83 tons of snow, according to a new study in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon, created by burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) and biomass. It settles on snow, darkening its surface. This increases the absorption of solar heat and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness, Antarctica naturally has little black carbon pollution. However, the new study shows black carbon from local tourism and research activities has greatly affected its icy environment.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations of snow from 28 sites across the northern Antarctic Peninsula. It turned out that black carbon concentration was far thicker around research bases and tourist ship landing spots than at remote areas.
The study estimates (估计) that in heavily impacted zones, black carbon cuts snowpack by 23 millimeters yearly. Overall, tourism-related black carbon alone leads to 4.4 megatons of extra snow melting each summer, equal to 83 tons per visitor. Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than what the data suggest.
The paper argues that local emissions (排放物) from research stations and tourist sites are likely the main source of the pollution. Ships, aircraft, generators (发电机) and trucks all release black carbon. The authors suggest tourist cruises and fuel-powered equipment at research stations are the top polluters in the study area, even though measures like new fuel and deep cycle battery power have been adopted to ease tourism’s environmental footprint.
“Our results prove that far more remains to be done to reduce the impact of Antarctic tourism and ships,” the authors write.
12. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Harmful gas. B. Main cause. C. Useful energy. D. Unexpected result.
13. How is black carbon produced in Antarctica?
A. By winds blowing in from north. B. By volcanic activities under the ice.
C. By fuel use in tourism and research. D. By natural changes in temperature.
14. What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply?
A. The impacts of human activities may be underestimated.
B. The snowpack melting problem is greatly overstated.
C. Antarctica tourism should be banned for a good cause.
D. Every visitor is to blame for the melting snow.
15. What do the study authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica?
A. They are a drop in the ocean. B. They paint a rosy picture.
C. They boost Antarctica tourism. D. They still show limited effect.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone has been there — completely drained (精疲力竭) after too much social interaction. Constant engagement can leave you feeling exhausted and in need of recharging your social battery. ___16___ In fact, this experience has roots in psychology and most people face such kind of trouble. Let’s dive into a few ways to refuel and regain your balance.
Alone time now and then allows your brain to process recent social experiences without the constant demand for interaction. ____17____ This could mean sitting quietly, sipping tea, or simply letting your mind wander.

Endless scrolling (滚动) on social media or watching videos might seem like easy fixes, but they often drain you more. ____19____ Instead of mindlessly scrolling, set intentional screen-free hours each day. Use this time to engage with the physical world, whether that’s preparing a meal, organizing your space, or simply enjoying the quiet.
___20___ Staying in natural environment with fresh air improves mood. This connection between movement and mental health is supported by studies in environmental psychology, which highlight how green spaces positively impact our well-being. Even a 15-minute walk through a park or in the wild can shift your mood and mindset.
A. If you’ re wondering how to do that, you’ re not alone.
B. A good rest is an effective way to recharge your social battery.
C. Spare 30 minutes for yourself every day, free from distractions.
D. Think about what you’ ve wanted to try but never made time for.
E. Reconnecting with nature can work wonders for your social battery.

47. 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。
I loved exploring forests, observing plants, and listening to the chirping of birds with Jimmy, my little brother. Mom was always there with her camera, capturing each wonderful moment. These photos were arranged in an album. It held the sweet memories of my family, and I was never bored with opening it, as it always filled me with warmth. Life was simple until I asked for a new electronic game for my birthday. I was well-behaved, so my parents fulfilled my wish. But then everything changed.
The game was so amazing. As soon as I switched on the device, my ears stopped hearing external sounds. My back ached, but I couldn’t stop.
“Davey, wanna go out and play?” asked Jimmy, holding the ball.
“No, thanks,” I refused, without a second thought.
“But all our friends are waiting! You’ve been staying here every day playing that game,” Jimmy urged. I finally tore my eyes away, my voice sharp. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Go play without me!” With that, Jimmy stormed out, his face reddened with anger.
Outside in the forest, the kids played ball and hide-and-seek, having loads of fun, while I spent the whole afternoon in the sofa, absorbed in the game until it was dark. It was days before I realized I hadn’t seen Jimmy around.
Each day brought a fresh battle. I resisted, but finally gave in. My fingers danced across the buttons as hours slipped by. Around 9 PM, Mom came and placed a glass of milk beside me.“Time for bed,” she whispered. I saw her worries — how could I not? But click-clack noise covered Mom’s voice. When the final boss fell, my eyes burned. Walking half-asleep towards the bed, I noticed a photo album on the bedside table. The worn cover brought back memories.
注意:
1.续写词数应为120个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Absorbed in the photos, I didn’t notice Mom standing beside me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Early next morning, ball in hand, I knocked on Jimmy’s door

Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is a major trend in modern Chinese opera circle. As times change, traditional opera has gradually lost its elderly audience and failed to appeal to young people. To attract the new generation, the opera circle is working to create updated works.
Facing an aging audience, Peking Opera has adopted modern sound, light and digital stage effects to attract young people in creative ways.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing now presents fashionable Peking Opera performances. It combines music, vocal skills, mime, dance and acrobatics. With special art experience sections and new shows, the theater has attracted over 2,000 audience numbers, mostly young people, according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer in Tianleyuan, who has 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added.
8. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important?
A. To run after fashion. B. To draw the young audience.
C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle.
9. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater?
A. It stays away from new art styles.
B. It pays little attention to young viewers.
C. It tries new ways to show Peking Opera.
D. It keeps all old performing rules strictly.
10. How does Deng feel about the innovation of jingju?
A. Favourable. B. Unreliable. C. Worthless. D. Conservative.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Classic jingju plays are popular among elderly people.
B. Traditional opera is being innovated to win over young people.
C. Young performers have rich stage experience in Peking Opera.
D. Modern art forms have completely changed traditional operas.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As times change, traditional opera has gradually lost its elderly audience and failed to appeal to young people. To attract the new generation, the opera circle is working to create updated works. (随着时代变化,传统戏曲逐渐失去了老年观众,也未能吸引年轻人。为了吸引新一代,戏曲界正在努力创作更新的作品。)”可知,传统戏曲适应与创新的重要原因是为了吸引年轻观众。

Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and each may unintentionally contribute to the melting of 83 tons of snow, according to a new study in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon, created by burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) and biomass. It settles on snow, darkening its surface. This increases the absorption of solar heat and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness, Antarctica naturally has little black carbon pollution. However, the new study shows black carbon from local tourism and research activities has greatly affected its icy environment.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations of snow from 28 sites across the northern Antarctic Peninsula. It turned out that black carbon concentration was far thicker around research bases and tourist ship landing spots than at remote areas.
The study estimates (估计) that in heavily impacted zones, black carbon cuts snowpack by 23 millimeters yearly. Overall, tourism-related black carbon alone leads to 4.4 megatons of extra snow melting each summer, equal to 83 tons per visitor. Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than what the data suggest.
The paper argues that local emissions (排放物) from research stations and tourist sites are likely the main source of the pollution. Ships, aircraft, generators (发电机) and trucks all release black carbon. The authors suggest tourist cruises and fuel-powered equipment at research stations are the top polluters in the study area, even though measures like new fuel and deep cycle battery power have been adopted to ease tourism’s environmental footprint.
“Our results prove that far more remains to be done to reduce the impact of Antarctic tourism and ships,” the authors write.
12. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Harmful gas. B. Main cause. C. Useful energy. D. Unexpected result.
13. How is black carbon produced in Antarctica?
A. By winds blowing in from north. B. By volcanic activities under the ice.
C. By fuel use in tourism and research. D. By natural changes in temperature.
14. What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply?
A. The impacts of human activities may be underestimated.
B. The snowpack melting problem is greatly overstated.
C. Antarctica tourism should be banned for a good cause.
D. Every visitor is to blame for the melting snow.
15. What do the study authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica?
A. They are a drop in the ocean. B. They paint a rosy picture.
C. They boost Antarctica tourism. D. They still show limited effect.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一项发表在《自然通讯》上的新研究,指出每年约53000名游客访问南极洲,每人可能无意中导致83吨雪的融化,罪魁祸首是旅游和科研活动产生的黑碳,尽管已采取部分环保措施,但仍需做更多努力来减少南极旅游对环境的影响。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The culprit is black carbon, created by burning fossil fuels and biomass. It settles on snow, darkening its surface. This increases the absorption of solar heat and quickens melting. ( 是黑碳,它由燃烧化石燃料和生物质产生。它沉积在雪上,使雪面变暗,从而增加太阳热量的吸收并加速融化。)”可知,后文解释黑碳使雪变暗、加速融化。可见黑碳是造成融雪的“罪魁祸首”或“主要原因”,culprit指的是导致雪融化的主要原因。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“It turned out that black carbon concentration was far thicker around research bases and tourist ship landing spots than at remote areas.(结果表明,在科研基地和游客登船地点周围,黑碳的浓度要远远高于偏远地区。)”以及第六段中“The paper argues that local emissions (排放物) from research stations and tourist sites are likely the main source of the pollution. Ships, aircraft, generators (发电机) and trucks all release black carbon. (该论文指出,研究站和旅游景点产生的本地排放很可能是污染的主要来源。船舶、飞机、发电机和卡车都会排放黑碳。)”可知,南极洲的黑碳是由旅游和科研活动中的燃料使用产生的。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than what the data suggest. (尽管这些数字令人震惊,但实际影响可能比数据所显示的更为复杂。)”可知,第五段的数据暗示人类活动对南极的实际影响可能比目前估计的更大,即可能被低估了。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“even though measures like new fuel and deep cycle battery power have been adopted to ease tourism’s environmental footprint (尽管已采取了新燃料和深循环电池等措施来减轻旅游的环境足迹)”以及最后一段中“Our results prove that far more remains to be done to reduce the impact of Antarctic tourism and ships (我们的研究结果证明,要减少南极旅游和船只的影响,还有很多工作要做)”可知,研究作者认为当前的环保努力效果仍然有限。

Let’s dive into a few ways to refuel and regain your balance.
Alone time now and then allows your brain to process recent social experiences without the constant demand for interaction. ____17____ This could mean sitting quietly, sipping tea, or simply letting your mind wander.

Endless scrolling (滚动) on social media or watching videos might seem like easy fixes, but they often drain you more. ____19____ Instead of mindlessly scrolling, set intentional screen-free hours each day. Use this time to engage with the physical world, whether that’s preparing a meal, organizing your space, or simply enjoying the quiet.
___20___ Staying in natural environment with fresh air improves mood. This connection between movement and mental health is supported by studies in environmental psychology, which highlight how green spaces positively impact our well-being.

(每个人都有过这样的经历——在过多的社交互动后精疲力竭。)”可知,人们普遍存在的社交疲惫现象,结合空后的“In fact, this experience has roots in psychology and most people face such kind of trouble. (事实上,这种体验有心理学根源,大多数人都会面临这类问题。)”可知,此处进一步说明这种现象的普遍性和根源,所以此空应起到承上启下的作用,A 选项“If you’re wondering how to do that, you’ re not alone. (如果你想知道如何应对这种情况,并非只有你一人如此。)”中的“wondering how to do that”承接前文“精疲力竭后需要充电”的需求,“not alone”与后文“most people face such trouble”呼应,起到连接现象与解决方案的过渡作用,符合语境。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Alone time now and then allows your brain to process recent social experiences without the constant demand for interaction. (偶尔的独处时间能让你的大脑处理最近的社交经历,而无需持续的互动需求。)”以及空后“This could mean sitting quietly, sipping tea, or simply letting your mind wander. (这可能意味着安静地坐着、喝茶,或者只是让思绪漫游。)”可知,本段强调独处的作用,而空后列举具体的独处方式,所以,此空应引出下文,C选项“Spare 30 minutes for yourself every day, free from distractions. (每天为自己留出30分钟,不受干扰。)”是对独处时间的具体建议,“free from distractions” 对应前文“without constant interaction”,且为下文this指代的内容。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据空前“Journaling helps you process emotions and gain clarity on what’s draining your social battery. Putting your feelings into words can reduce stress and improve mental health. (写日记有助于处理情绪,并明确是什么消耗了你的社交能量。用文字表达感受可以减轻压力,改善心理健康。)”可知,本段围绕“写日记” 这一方法展开,强调其自我反思的作用,结合空格的位置,此空应是对上文的总结或者是进一步对上文进行解释,F选项“This act of self-reflection helps you identify what you need to recharge. (这种自我反思的行为有助于你识别需要充电的方面。)”中的“This act” 指代前文“写日记”,“self-reflection”和“identify what you need”进一步解释写日记如何帮助找到社交疲惫的根源,与前文构成因果关系,逻辑连贯。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据空前“Endless scrolling on social media or watching videos might seem like easy fixes, but they often drain you more. (在社交媒体上无尽地滚动或观看视频似乎是简单的解决办法,但它们往往会让你更疲惫。)”可知,此处批判了社交媒体带来的负面影响,结合空后的“Instead of mindlessly scrolling, set intentional screen-free hours each day.(与其漫无目的地刷手机,不如每天设定一些有意识的无屏幕时间。)”可知,此空需继续解释社交媒体的负面影响,G选项“Social comparison, fueled by social media, can make you feel more anxious. (社交媒体引发的社会比较会让你感到更焦虑。)”进一步解释了社交媒体消耗能量的具体原因——社会比较加剧焦虑,与前文“drain you more”形成因果关系,且“social media” 关键词重复,衔接紧密。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空后“Staying in natural environment with fresh air improves mood. This connection between movement and mental health is supported by studies in environmental psychology, which highlight how green spaces positively impact our well-being. Even a 15-minute walk through a park or in the wild can shift your mood and mindset. (待在空气清新的自然环境中有助于改善情绪。这种运动与心理健康之间的联系得到了环境心理学研究的支持,这些研究强调了绿色空间如何对我们的幸福感产生积极影响。即使是在公园或野外散步15分钟,也能改变你的情绪和心态。)”可知,本段主题为 “亲近自然” 对社交能量恢复的作用,E选项“Reconnecting with nature can work wonders for your social battery. (与自然重新建立联系可以为你的社交能量创造奇迹。)”作为主题句,直接点明 “自然” 的作用,“work wonders”与后文“improves mood”、“shift your mood”形成呼应,统领全段内容。故选E项。

When someone has ____36____ (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly ____37____ (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, studies ____38____ (show) that people who forgive others can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show ____39____ (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness of the immune system and allow people ____40____ (feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something ____41____ gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an ____42____ (apologize), which will be disturbing. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in ____43____ same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time.”
Next, keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean ____44____ (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you, which can lead to positive psychology. Finally, try to see things ____45____ the other person’s point of view.
【答案】36. deeply

38. have shown
39. less 40. to feel
41. that 42. apology

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍原谅他人对身心健康的益处及被伤害后学会原谅的方法。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:当有人深深伤害了你时,放下愤怒可能会非常困难。此处修饰动词hurt,用deep的副词形式deeply,意为“深深地”。故填deeply。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但原谅是有可能的,而且它会对你的身心健康带来惊人的益处。此处为形容词作表语,benefit的形容词为beneficial,意为“有益的”,be beneficial to意为“对……有益”。故填beneficial。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:到目前为止,研究表明,原谅他人的人精力更充沛、胃口更好、睡眠质量也更高。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“So far”,用现在完成时,结构为“have/has +过去分词”;主语studies为复数,所以用谓语动词为have shown。故填have shown。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:《好好原谅》一书的作者弗雷德里克·拉斯金博士说:“原谅他人的人愤怒更少,希望更多。”根据后文“more hopefulness”可知,此处用little的比较级less,构成并列的比较关系。故填less。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,它有助于减轻免疫系统的负担,让人们感觉更有活力。此处为固定搭配“allow sb. to do sth.”,意为“允许某人做某事”,所以用to feel作宾补。故填to feel。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:深呼吸几次,想想能给你带来快乐的事情:自然界的美景,或者你爱的人。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词为something,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,只能用关系代词that。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:不要等待道歉,这会让人困扰。此处作wait for的宾语,用apologize的名词形式apology,意为“道歉”,前面有an修饰,用单数。故填apology。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他们可能是故意想伤害你,或者只是看待事情的方式与你不同。此处为固定搭配“the same way”,意为“同样的方式”,所以用定冠词the。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其次,要记住,原谅并不一定意味着接受那个让你不快的人的行为。此处位于mean后,mean doing意为“意味着做某事”,用动名词形式accepting作宾语,mean to do表“打算做某事”,不符合语境。故填accepting。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:最后,试着从别人的角度看问题。此处为固定搭配“from one’s point of view”,意为“从某人的角度”符合句意,所以用介词from。故填from。

47. 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。
I loved exploring forests, observing plants, and listening to the chirping of birds with Jimmy, my little brother. Mom was always there with her camera, capturing each wonderful moment. These photos were arranged in an album. It held the sweet memories of my family, and I was never bored with opening it, as it always filled me with warmth. Life was simple until I asked for a new electronic game for my birthday. I was well-behaved, so my parents fulfilled my wish. But then everything changed.
The game was so amazing. As soon as I switched on the device, my ears stopped hearing external sounds. My back ached, but I couldn’t stop.
“Davey, wanna go out and play?” asked Jimmy, holding the ball.
“No, thanks,” I refused, without a second thought.
“But all our friends are waiting! You’ve been staying here every day playing that game,” Jimmy urged. I finally tore my eyes away, my voice sharp. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Go play without me!” With that, Jimmy stormed out, his face reddened with anger.
Outside in the forest, the kids played ball and hide-and-seek, having loads of fun, while I spent the whole afternoon in the sofa, absorbed in the game until it was dark. It was days before I realized I hadn’t seen Jimmy around.
Each day brought a fresh battle. I resisted, but finally gave in. My fingers danced across the buttons as hours slipped by. Around 9 PM, Mom came and placed a glass of milk beside me.“Time for bed,” she whispered. I saw her worries — how could I not? But click-clack noise covered Mom’s voice. When the final boss fell, my eyes burned. Walking half-asleep towards the bed, I noticed a photo album on the bedside table. The worn cover brought back memories.

【答案】Absorbed in the photos, I didn’t notice Mom standing beside me. She bent down and joined me. Pointing at a photo of Jimmy and me in the forest, both covered in mud, she whispered, “Remember how happy you were out there?” Guilt washed over me as I realized how much I missed those days with Jimmy. That night, I lay awake, thinking about everything I’d passed by while glued to the screen. I made a decision.
Early next morning, ball in hand, I knocked on Jimmy’s door. His sleepy eyes widened in surprise. “Want to play outside?” I asked. Jimmy nodded happily. We rushed to the woods, laughter echoing among the trees; we played ball in the open field, shouts mixing with bird chirps; we lay flat on the grass, clouds painting our dreams with ease. I suddenly felt a recovered sense of peace, a feeling brought not by the silly screen, but the company of loved ones.
