Here are some amazing facts and figures about these amazing creatures. ·Weight and Body Size Blue whales can grow to over 30 meters long and weigh more than 130,000 kilos—that’s longer than three buses and heavier than three trucks. Pretty much everything about the blue whale is massive. Its tongue weighs as much as an elephant and its heart is the size of a car. ·Range Blue whales can be found in all of our planet’s oceans, except the Arctic Ocean, usually swimming alone or in groups of two to four. But in areas where there’s lots of food available, as many as 60 whales may come together. ·Food Despite their huge size, blue whales eat tiny shrimp—like creatures called krill (磷虾). During certain times of the year, a single adult blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill a day. ·Type There are two types of whales: toothed whales and baleen whales (须鲸). Toothed whales, as the name suggests, have teeth, which are used to hunt and eat squid (鱿鱼), fish, and seals. Blue whales are baleen whales. Instead of teeth, they use baleen. When eating, blue whales let a huge volume of water and krill into their mouths. They then push the water through their baleen plates, which trap the tasty food to be swallowed. ·Calls To communicate with each other, blue whales make a series of super-loud vocal sounds. Their calls are the loudest of any creature on the planet, in fact, and can be heard underwater for hundreds of kilometers. ·Migration (迁徙) These awesome sea animals follow a seasonal migration pattern. During the feeding season, they fill up on krill in cold polar waters. They then travel to warmer, tropical waters to mate and give birth. 21. How much can an adult blue whale weigh? A. Over 30 tons. B. Over 130,000 kilos. C. As much as a car. D. As much as a baby elephant. 22. Which of the following is TRUE about blue whales’ calls? A. They are used to hunt food in deep cold waters. B. They are the loudest of all animals on the earth. C. They help communicate with other sea creatures. D. They are low sounds and hard to hear from a distance. 23. What do we know about blue whales from the passage? A. They just use body language to communicate. B. They catch small krill for food with their teeth. C. They gather in big groups when food is enough. D. They mainly make their home in the Arctic Ocean. B For over six years, refugees have been planting trees at the Nakivale refugee settlement (难民营). The idea came from Burundian refugee Enoch Twagirayesu, who fled conflict in 2003 and settled in Nakivale. The area used to be covered in trees, but now they are nowhere to see due to the need for fuel, construction materials and farming. This motivated Twagirayesu and his fellow refugees to act. “When we came here, Nakivale was a forest. After seven years, the forest disappeared. The trees we used for cooking ran out, and women had to dig up tree roots for cooking,” Twagirayesu said. Today, over 180,000 refugees live in the settlement, with new arrivals from neighboring countries adding pressure to the already worn-out environment. Environmental disasters, like droughts, have worsened the crisis—a drop in the water levels of Lake Nakivale, the main water source for the settlement. Efforts by those such as Twagirayesu have pushed development agencies to act. A plant nursery was established, where refugees are trained to grow seeds from the nursery bed to their individual bed, and finally to the main gardens. “The nursery is a center for environmental knowledge transfer,” said Norbert Tumushabe, an environmental officer. Their efforts are paying off. Many once-bare areas are now filled with trees, and rains have increased in the past few years. “We’ve planted over 350 hectares of woodlots around wetlands and Lake Nakivale,” said a local. To date, over 460,000 trees have been planted. However, challenges remain. “In five years, we aim to reach the halfway mark of our program—covering the entire National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) belt in Nakivale, but we can’t afford water tanks for the dry season. We need help from well-wishers like Nsamizi who can offer us water trucks.” Twagirayesu said. 24. What caused the forest in Nakivale to disappear? A. Illegal activities. B. Natural disasters. C. Human survival needs. D. Industrial development. 25. What made Lake Nakivale’s water levels drop? A. Deforestation and droughts. B. Overuse by 180,000 refugees. C. Construction of the settlement. D. Lack of tree planting around it. 26. How did development agencies respond to the refugees’ efforts? A. By relocating the settlement. B. By offering technical help. C. By providing more tree cuttings. D. By creating job opportunities. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Well-wishers are hard to find. B. More support is needed. C. Water supply is no longer a problem. D. The project is halfway to its goal. C While traditional types of books, such as non-fiction, are becoming less popular, fantasy stories are catching on, as shown by the International Book Markets 2025 report. But what makes fantasy so hard to resist? Fantasy is true to the human mind, especially to its wild side that we all feel but cannot easily express in daily life. Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor noted that everyone lives within limits that both control and comfort us in “the buffered (缓冲的) self”, which makes us see the world as lacking magic and mystery. Therefore, we don’t believe in ghosts or any supernatural forces. This idea protects us from confusion and fear, yet it also holds back the wildest parts of our imagination, making us hope that magic and wonder could someday return to our lives. Besides, UK author Adam Roberts pointed out that fantasy serves as a controlled and safe return to the ideas we have ignored. It allows us to experience a gentle, limited version of the legendary past. With its kings and adventures, fantasy brings back what we miss in our modern and orderly world of work and routine, but only in a controlled way. We enjoy imagining ourselves as strong heroes or special “chosen ones” when real life makes us feel small. But we do not want to live in a world ruled by powerful kings and violent warriors. Moreover, fantasy is something not just wanted but needed, as it encourages our imagination, noted The Guardian. A purely scientific world feels cold and empty, unable to feed our spirits. As Philip Pullman writes in The Rose Field, Lyra considers that human beings need certain things we cannot prove, yet we would struggle to live without them, especially our imagination. As she says, “Maybe the imagination is a sort of wind that blows through all the worlds... It shows us true things.” In a world where logic and routine take over, fantasy is a reminder of a hidden longing for wonder. 28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By listing different types of books. B. By describing a shared human need. C. By quoting a well-known philosopher. D. By highlighting a recent market trend. 29. According to Charles Taylor, what is the function of “the buffered self”? A. It inspires us to seek magic in our daily lives. B. It protects us but limits our imagination. C. It creates a world full of mystery and wonder. D. It helps us express our wild side more freely. 30. According to Adam Roberts, what does fantasy help us do? A. Let us return to forgotten ideas safely. B. Teach us to ignore all our strange ideas. C. Rule the world with kings and warriors. D. Become great heroes in our real daily life. 31. Why does the author mention Lyra’s words in The Rose Field? A. To present the limits of science. B. To stress the importance of imagination. C. To suggest that imagination can be proven. D. To show imagination is less important than science. D Sleeping five more minutes, exercising 1.9 more minutes, and eating healthier each day could add a year to your life. This isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s the conclusion of a new study led by researchers from Australia and the UK. Nicholas Koemel, who led the study, told the magazine Scientific American, “We always think that we need to make overhauls, but our study shows that’s not often the case.” Over eight years, the team studied 59,078 British people. They provided lifestyle and health details, and some wore devices to track sleep and activity levels. Diet was scored 0-100 across 10 categories, with higher scores meaning healthier eating. Based on these data, researchers estimated possible changes to participants’ lifespans using scientific modeling. The results showed that people who sleep 5.5 hours per night, exercise 7.3 minutes per day and have a diet quality score of 36.9 could theoretically live a year longer with just five additional minutes of sleep, 1.9 minutes of vigorous (剧烈的) or moderate exercise and half an extra serving of vegetables each day. If improving all three areas is too difficult, either 25 extra minutes of sleep per night or an additional 2.3 minutes of exercise per day can also help. According to the study, patterns of sleep, physical activity and nutrition are well-known contributors to early death and non-communicable (非传染性的) diseases. Previously, they’ve been studied separately, without considering how they influence each other or work together to affect health. However, “these findings highlight the importance of considering lifestyle behaviors as a package rather than in isolation,” Koemel told CNN. He also stressed that the message here should not necessarily be that making these small adjustments is a silver bullet (灵丹妙药). Instead, it’s about taking the first step towards creating sustainable and achievable opportunities for more people. 32. What does the underlined word “overhauls” most probably mean? A. Small improvements. B. Complete changes. C. Daily habits. D. Difficult challenges. 33. How did researchers conduct the study? A. By testing participants’ physical health in person. B. By providing diet and exercise plans to participants. C. By comparing the lifestyles of different age groups. D. By tracking participants’ habits and health over the years. 34. What did Koemel suggest people do about their lifestyle habits? A. Treat them as a whole. B. Ignore their connections. C. Change them one by one. D. Improve them in a short time. 35. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Exercise and sleep determine overall health. B. Improving health does not require great efforts. C. Small lifestyle changes may help live longer. D. A balanced diet is necessary for health benefits. 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。 As global temperatures continue to rise at an alarming pace, scientists are sounding the alarm. Even a 2℃-3℃ increase in global average temperature could put roughly 20%-30% of land species at risk of extinction. When talking about solutions to climate change, people often focus on trees and forests. 36. __________________ Seagrass is a marine plant that forms underwater meadows (草甸) in shallow coastal waters. These meadows give protection to sea animals, such as fish, turtles and crabs. 37. __________________ It helps stop coastal damage and lessens the power of big waves in storms. But beyond these ecological benefits, seagrass meadows are now recognized as one of nature’s most efficient carbon sinks. 38. __________________ It uses chlorophyll, a green material in plants, to take in sunlight, which helps it break down water and turn carbon dioxide into useful materials for growth. What makes seagrass special, however, is its ability to store carbon in sand and mud on the seabed. When seagrass dies, its leaves and roots fall to the ocean floor. The thick plants slow down water flow, letting carbon-rich waste settle and become buried. With little oxygen on the seabed, things break down very slowly. 39. __________________ Sometimes it can be centuries. While forests are widely known for carbon storage, they are also easily damaged. Forest fires, for example, can rapidly release previously stored carbon back into the atmosphere. 40. __________________ They also exist in stable underwater environments. Although they cover just 0.2% of the ocean floor, they are responsible for capturing an estimated 48 to 112 million tons of carbon annually. A. They are perfect habitats for sea animals. B. Seagrass holds the bottom of the sea with its roots. C. On the other hand, seagrass meadows hardly catch fire. D. Unfortunately, seagrass ecosystems are on the decrease. E. Just like land plants, seagrass carries out photosynthesis (光合作用). F. But there is another little-known important helper: seagrass. G. That’s why the carbon remains trapped there for a long time. 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。 I will never forget my first concert on a warm spring evening. The moment my friends and I stepped into the stadium, I felt excitement in the 41 . Thousands of people were waiting 42 , many wearing T-shirts with the singer’s name and holding shining light sticks. Everyone was smiling, chatting and ready for something 43 . When the lights 44 , the crowd roared. A single spotlight lit up the 45 , and then—boom—the music started. The sound was so 46 that it seemed to pass right through me. Every 47 was remarkably clear, and the electric guitar made my heart pound. Then the singer’s voice came through, dynamic and transporting, far better than I could ever have 48 . What struck me most profoundly, though, was the 49 between that vast crowd of strangers. Apart from my friends, I didn’t know the people standing on either side of me, but we sang the same lyrics, moved to the same beat, and 50 our arms as one. At that moment, it didn’t matter who we were or where we came from; we were all part of one big family. Then the stage 51 and so did we. As a slow song began, I looked around and saw thousands of 52 lights, the audience swaying together and singing softly. It felt simply magical. I thought about how, in our busy lives, we 53 stop to share moments like these and how much we should. On the journey home, my voice was hoarse (嘶哑的) from 54 and my legs tired from dancing, yet my heart was full and content.

We climbed shorter cliffs (峭壁), only 20 to 30 feet tall, which felt like kid stuff, and I was ready for the big climb. On a sunny day while camping, Dad and I hiked to the base of an easy climb up Mount Edith in Banff, Alta. Dad climbed a few feet, hammered steel pitons (岩钉) into existing cracks, and clipped (扣住) the rope into carabiners (锁扣) while I kept him safe from below. Connected to Dad by the thick red rope, I followed him up step by step, my hands gripping the rock and my feet finding small holds as I went. I pulled those same pitons back out one by one as I climbed. When we finally reached the peak I felt on top of the world-strong, fearless and proud of what I had accomplished. Rappelling down (绕绳下降) the opposite side of the mountain felt completely different from climbing up. As I looked down, I felt my heart race. We soon realized we didn’t have enough rope to reach the ground. So Dad searched around and picked up a washed-out gray rope left behind by other climbers. He stood just above me on the edge of the cliff, his feet planted firmly on the rock as he checked the rope carefully to make sure it was safe. With quick and steady hands, he tied off the two ropes securely. With a deep breath, I moved slowly over the edge, while Dad stepped back slightly, holding the rope with one hand. He remained above, watching closely, ready to adjust the rope if needed. I stopped halfway down the cliff at an outcropping (突出的) rock and balanced on the front of my left foot. Dad called down to me in a calm voice telling me to relax and move my body slowly. His figure could still be seen above me, holding the rope steadily. The wind picked up slightly, making me shake. Just then, I heard my father yell, “Rock!” 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。 Before I knew it, an egg-sized stone hit my hand. What a relief!

Among all the books I’ve read, The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway is my favorite. This short novel tells the story of an old fisherman who struggles to catch a huge marlin at sea and fights against shark attacks on his way back. What impresses me most is the old man’s spirit of never giving up. Despite extreme tiredness and hunger, he still fights bravely against nature and sharks. Not until I finished reading this book did I truly realize that no matter how difficult life is, we should keep moving forward with courage. In short, this book not only brings me joy but also gives me inner strength. I highly recommend it to everyone! 【参考范文2】 Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to share my favorite book with you.

He meets a king, a businessman and other odd characters, from whom he sees the emptiness of the adult world. He also experiences friendship and love, and gradually understands what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book. Its language is simple but full of deep thoughts. It reminds me to keep kindness and sincerity in the busy life. Reading it calms my mind and helps me see the world in a warmer way. I sincerely hope all of you can read this meaningful book together. I believe you will surely gain warmth and reflection from it. 【参考范文3】 Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to recommend a great Chinese classic that has touched countless readers—A Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin. Drawing on his own experiences, Cao describes the rise and fall of the Jia Mansion and the tragic lives of many roles, including Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu. The book offers vivid descriptions of ancient Chinese upper-class life. By reading it carefully, we can better understand the social differences in that historical period. Besides, this novel is far more than a story; it is a precious cultural treasure. Let’s read this clasic together and feel the everlasting charm of traditional Chinese culture! 第二节 【参考范文1】 Before I knew it, an egg-sized stone hit my hand. A sharp ache spread instantly, but I forced myself to stay calm, holding tightly to the rope instead of panicking. Above me came my dad’s voice—calm but urgent: “Keep your body close to the cliff. Move your right foot to the hold I pointed at!” Following his instruction, I adjusted my posture, using my unhurt hand to find a firm grip. When I rappelled down, Dad slowly lowered the rope, guiding me step by step. What a relief! My feet finally touched the ground. As I sat down to catch my breath, I realized that staying calm and trusting Dad’s professional climbing skills had saved me. The small injury on my hand was nothing compared to the leson I learned that day. Later, every subsequent climb reminded me that calmness in danger and solid professional skills are the most important companions for any explorer, making every challenge manageable with courage and rationality. 【参考范文2】 Before I knew it, an egg-sized stone hit my hand. A sharp pain shot up my arm, and I almost let go of the rope. My body swayed wildly in the wind, heart pounding like a drum. “Hold on tight! Don’t move!” Dad’s voice sounded firm and comforting. I bit my lip, holding the rope with my unhurt hand as hard as I could. Glancing up, I saw Dad leaning over the edge, his face tight with worry but eyes steady. He slowly lowered the rope, guiding me to move closer to the rock. I pressed my body against the cliff and inched down carefully, knowing Dad was right there guarding me. What a relief! My feet finally touched the ground. I sat heavily on the grass, gasping for breath, my trembling hands still clutching the rope. Dad rappelled down quickly and knelt beside me, checking my injured hand gently. “You did great, kiddo,” he said, his voice soft with relief. I looked up at him, tears welling up in my eyes—not from pain, but from gratitude and pride. The wind died down, and the sun shone warmly on us. As I held Dad’s hand, I realized that climbing wasn’t just about courage; it was about trusting someone who would always stand guard, even in the most dangerous moments. 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
