Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new. Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven in 1975. He was made to practise the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986, at the age of 18, he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's International Tchaikovsky Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world. Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty of Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles. 4．C 5．A 6．B 【原文】W: We have tickets for the new modern art exhibition. You’ve been, haven’t you? M: Yes, I went to the preview. W: And what did you think? M: There were some clever works by a young sculptor. Lots of animals like lions. W: What about paintings? I usually like them because I’m into painting. M: There was a collection of some paintings of the artists themselves in different styles. Some are more impressive than others. I have to say I actually found a fantastic exhibit outside on the museum grounds. There’s a statue of my favorite conductor. It looks so real. W: That sounds interesting. Were there any interactive exhibits? M: Actually, yes. One of the activities allowed visitors to participate in creating their own paintings and designs. It was great to see everyone’s creativity. W: That sounds like a fun way to engage visitors and make the exhibition more interactive. 7．C 8．A 9．C 10．B 【原文】Hello, everyone. The green partnership is planning to plant trees in the village of Middleton. They are looking for volunteers to come along and help. No experience is necessary, and there will be experts on hand to direct operations, and equipment will be provided. They serve a snack lunch, but evening meals are not included. This activity aims to attract people from urban areas to spend their free time there, for this area is heavily dependent on tourism. The site lies on the western edge of the village of Middleton. You’d better walk there, as parking will not be available along the road to the west. A large yellow notice will indicate the site entrance. And the yellow arrow signs will lead you to the site. A brochure will include further information about the day’s program. The site will be quite muddy. So boots are probably a better idea than trainers, if you’re doing the digging, although you’ll need something to change into afterwards. Although you won’t feel very cold, the site is quite exposed, so it’s a good idea to wrap up well when you’re watching. And gardening gloves will be essential if you are actually digging. 11．B 12．B 13．C 14．A 【原文】 M: Hi, everyone. I am the health coach of MLK health center. Here I want to talk about fitness trackers, which have been popular in some fitness communities in the last few years. But now the idea of not wearing running watches is gaining popularity. Why? If people forget to wear the device, they are less likely to exercise, because they wouldn’t receive credit for their efforts. Another potential concern is that some people feel controlled or pressured by the devices if they didn't achieve their goals. Running watch-free can also be beneficial. Olympic marathoner Trevor Hofbauer made headlines for winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships. He stopped tracking his pace years ago and only trains based on his overall running time. So if you have a fitness watch, I am not saying that it’s all bad. But if you find yourself being a little addicted and caring too much about what the watch says, then you may check yourself and take it off a few days a week. 15．B 16．C 17．A 【原文】W: Dear listeners, I have with me today Robert Jets of the International Dark Sky Association. Robert, welcome to our program. M: Thank you. I’m glad to be here. W: Would you please tell our listeners why you became an astronomer? M: When I was a little boy, I loved the night sky. I remember I looked up at the stars in the sky and asked how many are there. How far away are they? Can we visit them? I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty. But now in most big cities, kids can’t see the stars like I did. W: So have you already come up with a solution to this problem? M: Yeah. Actually there is a method that is inexpensive and has immediate benefits. If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels, we can preserve the beauty of the night sky. 18．A 19．C 20．C 【原文】 W: Studies show that napping can improve your well-being if done right. However, napping for too long can end up having a negative impact on your overall health, and may also shorten your lifespan. Chelsie Rohrscheib, head sleep expert at sleep testing firm Wesper, told Newsweek that people who take long naps are likely to get low-quality sleep at night. She said, “Poor sleep at night has major negative effects on health. Additionally, we also see high rates of sleep disorders in people who require long naps during the day. Another consideration is that people who need long naps are generally pretty tired and lazy during the day, and therefore they’re more likely to spend a lot of time sitting down.” According to Raj Dasgupta, chief medical adviser for Sleep Advisor, needing long naps may often be a sign that something is wrong with your body. “If you find yourself needing long or multiple naps to get through the day, you might have a sleep disorder or medical condition,” he said. According to Dasgupta, if you feel tired and have an opportunity to take a short nap in the early afternoon, then napping can be a beneficial way to improve your productivity, although he warns against getting into the habit of taking naps routinely. “If you get a good sleep at night and feel energetic during the day, you most likely do not need to nap,” he added. 21．D 22．B 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼。 21．细节理解题。根据Running部分的“An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.(一个普通人在一个小时的跑步中可以燃烧500到1000卡路里)”，High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)部分的“On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.(平均而言，一个人在30分钟内会燃烧400到600卡路里)”，Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.(跳绳一小时可以燃烧600到1000卡路里)”和Swimming部分的“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.(在短短30分钟的游泳中，一个普通人可以燃烧200到300卡路)”可知，高强度间歇运动一小时燃烧的卡路里是800-1200卡路里，游泳一小时燃烧的卡路里是400到600卡路里，因此高强度间歇训练在一小时内消耗的卡路里最多。故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump.(跳绳在训练平衡性和协调性的同时，还能很好地加强下半身和上半身的力量，因为在跳绳的时候，你的大脑必须工作)”可知，那些想要平衡的人可能对第三个锻炼也感兴趣。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 24．C 25．B 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了听力受损的16岁女孩莱拉・梅，通过镜头记录鄱阳湖湿地的变化，用视觉叙事呼吁人们保护湿地的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But as a teen, she watched it shrink year by year: illegal fishing nets dotted the water, construction damaged reed beds, and crane numbers dropped sharply. When she talked to classmates about it, many didn’t know how to communicate with a hearing-impaired girl, and few cared about the wetland. (但在她十几岁时，她看着湿地一年比一年缩小：非法渔网遍布水面，建筑施工破坏了芦苇丛，白鹤数量急剧下降。当她和同学们谈论这件事时，很多人不知道如何与听力受损的她沟通，也很少有人关心湿地。)”可知，莱拉决定拍摄湿地，是因为她担心湿地的衰退。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Unable to hear, she focused entirely on visual storytelling: close-ups of baby birds, time-lapse of the wetland’s seasonal changes, slow-motion of fish trapped in plastic nets. Her film had no voiceover, only soft natural sounds recorded by friends and simple subtitles explaining the wetland’s value. (由于听不见，她将全部精力集中在视觉叙事上：幼鸟的特写、湿地季节变化的延时摄影、被困在塑料网中的鱼的慢动作。她的影片没有旁白，只有朋友们录制的柔和自然声，以及解释湿地价值的简单字幕。)”可知，莱拉的纪录片采用了独特的视觉叙事风格。故选B项。 26．推理判断题。第一段“On a crisp autumn morning in 2024, 16-year-old Lila Mei stood by Poyang Lake, her camera fixed on a flock of white cranes gliding across the water. For most people, the wetland’s beauty lies in its natural sounds, but for Lila, born with severe hearing impairment, it speaks through visuals: light through grass, a crane’s wing movements, the lake’s seasonal color changes. (2024年一个清爽的秋日早晨，16岁的莱拉・梅站在鄱阳湖畔，相机对准了一群滑翔过水面的白鹤。对大多数人来说，湿地的美在于它的自然之声，但对于天生严重听力受损的莱拉来说，湿地的美通过视觉传递：光线穿过草丛、白鹤的翅膀动作、湖水的季节色彩变化。)”主要介绍了莱拉的年龄、听力状况，以及她观察湿地的独特方式，即介绍了莱拉的基本背景。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段“With years of saved pocket money, she bought a second-hand camera and taught herself filming and editing through free online tutorials. Unable to hear, she focused entirely on visual storytelling: close-ups of baby birds, time-lapse of the wetland’s seasonal changes, slow-motion of fish trapped in plastic nets. (她用多年攒下的零花钱，买了一台二手相机，并通过免费的在线教程自学拍摄和剪辑。由于听不见，她将全部精力集中在视觉叙事上：幼鸟的特写、湿地季节变化的延时摄影、被困在塑料网中鱼的慢动作。)”可知，即便有听力障碍的阻碍，她依然坚持用镜头记录湿地困境，体现其坚定。根据第三段“Her film had no voiceover, only soft natural sounds recorded by friends and simple subtitles explaining the wetland’s value. (她的影片没有旁白，只有朋友们录制的柔和自然声，以及解释湿地价值的简单字幕。)”和最后一段“It touched countless people, pushed the local government to issue new wetland protection rules (这部影片触动了无数人，推动当地政府出台了新的湿地保护规定)”可知，她拍摄纪录片的初衷的是呼吁人们保护湿地，体现其责任感。故选D。 28．D 29．C 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新研究对人工智能（AI）是否会大幅增加全球温室气体排放这一普遍观点提出质疑，介绍了研究的过程、发现及未来计划。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. (他们的目的是了解如果人工智能的采用沿着目前的路径增加，环境可能会发生什么)”可知，该研究的主要目的是评估人工智能对环境的潜在影响。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U. S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. (研究人员指出，美国人工智能的总能源使用量与冰岛的电力消耗相当，但从国家或全球层面来看，这一数字仍然微不足道)”可知，美国人工智能的能源消耗在国家层面上影响较小。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. (Moreno-Cruz和Harding打算将同样的方法应用于更多的国家，以便了解人工智能的采用可能如何影响世界不同地区的环境结果)”可知，研究人员计划将他们的研究扩展到更多国家。故选A项。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. (新研究对人工智能（AI）正在推动全球温室气体排放大幅上升的普遍看法提出了挑战)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了新研究对人工智能（AI）是否会大幅增加全球温室气体排放这一普遍观点提出质疑，研究发现人工智能对气候的影响比人们认为的要小得多。故选D项。 32．D 33．B 34．A 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现亚马逊雨林树木因二氧化碳增加而变大，但这一积极现象面临砍伐和气候灾害的严重威胁，只有停止砍伐才能维持其碳汇功能。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The Amazon rainforest is often described as the “lungs of the planet”. Stretching across nine nations, it provides shelter for millions of species and stores large amounts of carbon.(亚马逊雨林常被称为“地球之肺”。它横跨九个国家，为数百万种生物提供了栖息之所，并储存了大量的碳)”可知，亚马逊雨林被称为“地球之肺”是因为这里栖息着数百万种生物，并储存了大量的碳。故选D。 33．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The growth is linked to the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). “Large trees are hugely beneficial in absorbing atmospheric CO2, which in turn acts as a fertilizer to nourish them. The increased availability of atmospheric CO2 due to climate change serves to boost photosynthesis (光合作用), speeding up tree growth,” joint lead author Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert said.(这种增长与大气中二氧化碳（CO2）含量的上升有关。“大树在吸收大气中的二氧化碳方面具有极大的作用，而二氧化碳又起到了一种肥料的作用，滋养着它们。由于气候变化导致大气中二氧化碳的含量增加，这有助于促进光合作用，从而加快树木的生长速度。”共同第一作者阿德里安娜·埃斯奎维尔-穆尔伯特说道)”可知，第三段主要讲的是森林树木变大的原因。故选B。 34．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“While the growth of trees brings positive news, the research also warns of significant risks.(虽然树木的生长带来了好消息，但这项研究同时也指出了诸多潜在风险)”以及后文“such as drought, heat and wildfire(例如干旱、高温和野火)”可知，后文列举了“干旱、高温和野火”等气候因素。这表明树木可能更容易受到这些灾害的伤害，由此可知，划线词意思是“敏感的，易受影响的”。故选A。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Amazon rainforest is often described as the “lungs of the planet”. Stretching across nine nations, it provides shelter for millions of species and stores large amounts of carbon. Despite climate change and deforestation (砍伐森林), new research has revealed a surprising discovery: the trees themselves are growing larger. (亚马逊雨林常被称为“地球之肺”。它横跨九个国家，为数百万种生物提供了栖息地，并储存了大量的碳。尽管面临气候变化和森林砍伐等问题，新的研究却揭示了一个令人惊讶的发现：树木自身的体积正在增大)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现亚马逊雨林树木因二氧化碳增加而变大，但这一积极现象面临砍伐和气候灾害的严重威胁，只有停止砍伐才能维持其碳汇功能。可知，B选项“亚马逊雨林：生长与风险”最符合文章标题。故选B。 36．F 37．A 38．B 39．E 40．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了可持续生活并不昂贵也不难实现，人们可以通过减少一次性用品、节约能源、减少食物浪费、购买二手物品等日常微小习惯轻松践行环保。 36．根据前文“When we talk about sustainable living, most people think of expensive solar panels or giving up car travel completely.(当我们谈论可持续生活时，大多数人会想到昂贵的太阳能板或完全放弃开车出行。)” 可知人们对可持续生活有刻板印象；空后一句“In fact, small, consistent changes in your daily routine can make a huge difference to your carbon footprint over time.(事实上，日常生活中微小且持续的改变，长期来看会对碳足迹产生巨大影响。)” 进行了事实纠正；故推知：空处应表达这种错误印象带来的消极结果；选项F“This makes many people feel it’s impossible for them to join in (这让很多人觉得自己无法参与其中)” 符合原文逻辑。故选F。 37．此处为段落小标题，总领该段内容；根据后文“The easiest way to cut down waste is to reduce your use of single-use items.(减少浪费最简单的方法就是减少一次性用品的使用。)” 可知本段围绕减少一次性用品展开；选项A“Start with single-use items (从一次性用品开始)” 可以概括本段主旨。故选A。 38．根据前文“Simple moves like turning off lights and electronic devices when you leave a room, or using energy-efficient light bulbs, can reduce your home energy use by up to 30%.(像离开房间时关灯和电子设备、使用节能灯泡这类简单的做法，可以减少家庭高达30%的能源消耗。)” 可知前文列举了节约能源的小举措；故推知：空处应对这些小行为进行总结；选项B“These changes add up quickly (这些改变会迅速累积效果)” 符合语境。故选B。 39．根据前文“You can make a difference with small changes in your kitchen. Plan your meals weekly to avoid over-buying, and use leftover food to make new dishes.(你可以在厨房做些小改变来发挥作用。每周规划餐食避免过量购买，利用剩菜制作新菜品。)” 以及空后一句“You can compost fruit and vegetable scraps to make nutrient-rich soil for your garden, instead of throwing them away.(你可以把水果和蔬菜残渣堆肥，为花园制造肥沃土壤，而不是扔掉。)” 可知前后都在讲处理食物垃圾的方法；故推知：空处应衔接食物残渣处理的话题；选项E“There are also easy ways to deal with food scraps (处理食物残渣也有简单的方法)” 起到承上启下作用。故选E。 40．此处为段落首句，总结全文观点；根据后文“Sustainable living doesn’t have to be hard or expensive.(可持续生活并不一定困难或昂贵。)” 可知作者再次强调可持续生活很简单；选项C“It’s easier than you might think (这比你想象的要容易)” 与后文内容高度契合。故选C。 41．A 42．C 43．B 44．D 45．B 46．A 47．C 48．D 49．A 50．B 51．D 52．D 53．C 54．A 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了由一群65岁以上的女性组成的OLAUG组织，她们自发地清理科德角马里斯池塘中的垃圾，并以此为使命，展现了这群老妇人的环保行动和积极态度。

school’s tech workshop, I’m eager to share my thoughts. The exhibition stood out for its diverse works, from AI painting to smart home prototypes. What’s more, there were live demos where creators explained their design ideas, making tech more approachable. I joined an interactive session to try AI image generation, which was both fun and eye-opening. However, the exhibition space was a bit crowded, and some demo equipment lacked instructions.

She started creating works full of details: a watercolor painting of the garden behind her house with butterflies dancing among flowers, and a sketch of Ms. White smiling while holding a paintbrush. Her colors became more vivid, and her lines more confident. One day, Ms. White displayed her painting of a cozy evening at home in the school lobby. When Leah heard students say “This is so warm”, she felt a surge of happiness. “Your art connects with people,” Ms. White said, and Leah knew drawing had filled her loneliness with joy. When Leah went to middle school, Ms. White was no longer with her daily. But she carried a sketchbook everywhere, drawing new classmates and the school’s cherry blossom trees. Every month, she visited Ms. White, who would praise her new works, “You’re still painting with your heart.” Once, Leah worried she might lose interest, but Ms. White said, “Art is a friend that grows with you.” Leah nodded, keeping those words in mind as she kept drawing. 【导语】本文以Leah对绘画的热爱为线索展开，讲述了热爱绘画的Leah在新学期的美术课上遇到了Ms. White，在老师的耐心指导与鼓励下，Leah的绘画技能不断提升，并且在绘画中逐渐摆脱孤独；续写部分则展现了Leah升入初中后，依然坚持绘画，与White老师保持联系，延续着对艺术的热爱。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的推移，Leah的绘画技能提高了”可知，第一段可写莉亚绘画技能提升的具体表现、作品得到认可及绘画对她的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Leah上初中时，Ms. White不再每天和她在一起了”可知，第二段可写Leah升入初中后坚持绘画、与Ms. White的联系及老师对她的鼓励。 2. 续写线索：技艺精进——作品受赞——升入初中——坚持绘画——精神延续 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①提升：improve/make progress ②记住：keep ... in mind/remember ③拜访：visit/call on/drop by/pay a visit to 情绪类 ①高兴：a surge of happiness/a flood of happiness ②孤独：loneliness/solitude/desolation 【点睛】【高分句型1】But she carried a sketchbook everywhere, drawing new classmates and the school’s cherry blossom trees.（由现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】When Leah heard students say “This is so warm”, she felt a surge of happiness.（由when引导的时间状语从句） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $■ 9.a头.￡tt"一-i~加t”.-§ 应用文写作(15分) Impressions from the AI Creative Design Exhibition 读后续写（满分25分) As time passed,Leahifl s drawing skills improved.

K. Health center. Here I want to talk about fitness truckers, which have been popular in some fitness communities in the last few years, but now the idea of not wearing running watches is gaining popularity. why? If people forget to wear the device, they are less likely to exercise because they wouldn't receive credit for their efforts. Another potential concern is that some people feel controlled or pressured by the devices if they didn't achieve their goals. Running watch free can also be beneficial. Olympic marathoner travel hot power made headlines for winning the twenty nine canadian marathon championships. He stopped tracking his pace years ago and only trains based on his overall running time. So if you have a fitness watch, i'm not saying that it's all bad, but if you find yourself being a little addicted and caring too much about what the watch says, then you may check yourself and take IT off a few days a week.

You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 21．Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A．Running. B．Swimming. C．Jumping rope. D．High Intensity Interval Training. 22．Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A．Those who want to train their mind. B．Those who want to have good balance. C．Those who want to control blood pressure. D．Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 23．What is the purpose of the text? A．To encourage people to compete in sports. B．To teach people how to do exercise. C．To provide ways to burn calories. D．To promote a healthy lifestyle. B On a crisp autumn morning in 2024, 16-year-old Lila Mei stood by Poyang Lake, her camera fixed on a flock of white cranes gliding across the water. For most people, the wetland’s beauty lies in its natural sounds, but for Lila, born with severe hearing impairment, it speaks through visuals: light through grass, a crane’s wing movements, the lake’s seasonal color changes. Growing up by the lake, Lila spent her childhood wandering the wetland with her retired fisherman grandfather, who taught her to recognize every bird and plant, and see the wetland as a living home. But as a teen, she watched it shrink year by year: illegal fishing nets dotted the water, construction damaged reed beds, and crane numbers dropped sharply. When she talked to classmates about it, many didn’t know how to communicate with a hearing-impaired girl, and few cared about the wetland. That’s when Lila picked up a camera. With years of saved pocket money, she bought a second-hand camera and taught herself filming and editing through free online tutorials. Unable to hear, she focused entirely on visual storytelling: close-ups of baby birds, time-lapse of the wetland’s seasonal changes, slow-motion of fish trapped in plastic nets. Her film had no voiceover, only soft natural sounds recorded by friends and simple subtitles explaining the wetland’s value. In 2025, her 15-minute documentary Home of the Cranes premiered at her school, and soon spread widely across the province. It touched countless people, pushed the local government to issue new wetland protection rules, and made her the first deaf Chinese filmmaker to enter the International Youth Environmental Film Festival. “You don’t need to hear the world to protect it,” she wrote. “You just need to look closely, and care enough to act.” 24．Why did Lila decide to film the wetland? A．She wanted to become a famous filmmaker B．She wanted to follow her grandfather’s advice C．She was worried about the wetland’s decline D．She wanted to win an international film award 25．What can we learn about Lila’s documentary? A．It was made by a professional team B．It used a unique visual storytelling style C．It included many interviews with local people D．It only focused on the beautiful scenery of the wetland 26．What is the main function of the first paragraph? A．To show the theme of the passage B．To introduce Lila’s basic background C．To summarize Lila’s great achievements D．To explain the value of wetland protection 27．Which of the following best describes Lila? A．Outgoing and ambitious B．Humorous and creative C．Generous and optimistic D．Determined and responsible C New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.” To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. 28．What is the primary goal of the research? A．To promote the development of green AI. B．To measure energy consumption worldwide. C．To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D．To assess AI’s potential environmental effects. 29．What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.? A．It contributes to petrol-based activities. B．It will soon reach the global emission target. C．It has small influence at the national level. D．It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption. 30．What do researchers plan to do next? A．Extend their research to more countries. B．Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages. C．Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D．Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers. 31．Which of the following is the main idea of the text? A．AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions. B．AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating. C．Data centers emit more than previously estimated. D．AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed. D The Amazon rainforest is often described as the “lungs of the planet”. Stretching across nine nations, it provides shelter for millions of species and stores large amounts of carbon. Despite climate change and deforestation (砍伐森林), new research has revealed a surprising discovery: the trees themselves are growing larger. A team of nearly 100 researchers monitored tree sizes in 188 plots across the Amazon rainforest between 1971 and 2015. They found that the average tree size — including both small and large trees — increased by 3. 3 percent every decade. The growth is linked to the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). “Large trees are hugely beneficial in absorbing atmospheric CO2, which in turn acts as a fertilizer to nourish them. The increased availability of atmospheric CO2 due to climate change serves to boost photosynthesis (光合作用), speeding up tree growth,” joint lead author Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert said. While the growth of trees brings positive news, the research also warns of significant risks. Trees may become more susceptible to other climate-driven factors, such as drought, heat and wildfire. Human activities like deforestation and the expansion of roads and farms could also reduce the trees’ ability to absorb CO2. “Although our research has shown that trees in undamaged forests are still increasing in size, any benefits of this in terms of the carbon sink can be easily cancelled out by deforestation and logging impacts. Our results suggest that the Amazon rainforest can handle climate change really well. My fear is that this ability won’t matter at all unless we can stop deforestation itself,” Esquivel-Muelbert said. 32．Why is the Amazon rainforest called the “lungs of the planet”? A．It has the most trees among all forests in the world. B．Its trees can produce more oxygen than other plants. C．It is the largest forest that stretches across nine nations. D．It is home to millions of species and holds much carbon. 33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The results of climate change. B．Reasons for the increase in tree size. C．Essential conditions for tree growth. D．The key role of trees in storing CO2. 34．What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Sensitive. B．Tolerant. C．Tough. D．Beneficial. 35．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Amazon Trees Grow Bigger with More CO2 B．The Amazon Rainforest: Growth and Risks C．Deforestation: A Big Threat to the Amazon D．How to Keep CO2 in the Amazon Rainforest 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。 When we talk about sustainable living, most people think of expensive solar panels or giving up car travel completely. 36 . In fact, small, consistent changes in your daily routine can make a huge difference to your carbon footprint over time. Here are some tiny habits that make sustainable living easy and enjoyable. 37 The easiest way to cut down waste is to reduce your use of single-use items. Instead of buying bottled water, use a reusable water bottle. Bring your own cloth bags to the supermarket, and choose products with less packaging. These small swaps take almost no extra effort, but they can cut down hundreds of pieces of plastic waste every year. Save energy without sacrificing comfort Many people believe saving energy means turning off the heater in winter or the air conditioner in summer. That’s not true. Simple moves like turning off lights and electronic devices when you leave a room, or using energy-efficient light bulbs, can reduce your home energy use by up to 30%. 38 . Rethink your food waste About one-third of the food produced globally is wasted every year. You can make a difference with small changes in your kitchen. Plan your meals weekly to avoid over-buying, and use leftover food to make new dishes. 39 . You can compost fruit and vegetable scraps to make nutrient-rich soil for your garden, instead of throwing them away. Buy secondhand when possible Every new product we buy has a carbon cost from production and transportation.

Leah was excited about the new school term because she heard there was a new art class. She had loved to draw since she was little, often doodling (信手涂鸦) on paper and dreaming of making beautiful pictures. Leah’s parents worked very hard and were often busy, so she was usually alone at home after school. She didn’t like being alone because it made her feel lonely. This made her very eager for the art class. She hoped to find joy and companionship in the world of drawing. On the first day of school, Leah sat in her classroom full of hope, looking forward to the art class after school. When the school bell rang, she quickly packed her bag and hurried to the art room. She was the first one to arrive at the art room. Standing at the door, she felt nervous but excited. Ms. White was busy organizing art supplies. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and greeted Leah with a smile. Leah introduced herself to Ms. White. Ms. White smiled warmly and said, “Welcome, Leah. I’m Ms. White. Nice to meet you.” Ms. White’s smile was warm and sincere, like a ray of sunshine that made Leah feel safe and happy. Ms. White gently patted Leah’s head and said softly, “I’m happy you joined my art class. I’ll do my best to help you.” At that moment, Leah felt she was full of hope as if she could already see a bright future in drawing. From then on, Leah went to the art room every day after school. Ms. White was always patient, teaching the students different drawing skills. She noticed that Leah had a keen sense for colors and lines, so she encouraged her to create her own works. Every time Leah finished a drawing, Ms. White would carefully admire it and gently say, “Your drawing is very special, full of imagination in every stroke (一笔).” 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。 As time passed, Leah’s drawing skills improved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Leah went to middle school, Ms. White was no longer with her daily. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
