We’re thrilled to have you tune in. M: Last week, we posed a question to our listeners: Should shops stop selling bottled water? We’ve received a flood of responses from our listeners, and we're excited to share some of their views today. W: First, it’s Rebecca from Manchester, she wrote. It’s shocking that only around 61% of plastic bottles are recycled in the UK. The rest are thrown away. It takes about 450 years for a plastic bottle to break down in the earth. Single use plastic bottles are bad for the environment, therefore shops should stop selling bottled water. M: Jane, from London, held the opposite view. She mentioned she enjoyed the convenience of bottled water. W: Allen, from Leeds, agreed with Jane. He also said without the convenience of plastic bottles, people would drink less water and turn to unhealthy drinks instead. M: True. But another listener, Jasper, noted that we have top quality tap water in the UK. Boiled tap water is more cost effective than bottled water. W: And George, from Sheffield, warned that some plastic bottles may contain harmful chemicals that might harm people's health. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Which continent experienced an average drop of 76% in animal populations? A. Asia. B. Africa. C. North America. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: A new World Wildlife Fund report says animal populations worldwide have dropped by an average of 73% since 1970. The report is based on the information about 5,495 different species of animals around the world. The data was collected by the Zoological Society of London, ZSL, to create the living planet index LPI. It tracks scientists’ effort to count wildlife, and it only focuses on animals with backbones, such as birds and fish. The LPI shows average changes in population sizes, not total animal numbers, to help scientists understand global wildlife trends. But not all scientists like the way the LPI works. Some say the numbers make the situation seem worse than it really is. The report shows that populations have dropped in all kinds of habitats. Freshwater habitats saw the biggest drop at 85%, followed by land 69% and oceans 56%. Moreover, the report shows that animals are disappearing in many parts of the world. Latin America and the Caribbean saw the largest decline at 95%. Africa’s animal populations fell by an average of 76%. The World Wildlife Fund says strong action is needed. Humans must change how they eat, farm and produce energy. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Blue whales are arguably the largest animals ever to have lived on earth. 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. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了蓝鲸作为地球上最大动物的惊人特征，包括其体型与重量、分布、食物、类型、叫声和迁徙。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Weight and Body Size部分的“Blue whales can grow to over 30 meters long and weigh more than 130,000 kilos (蓝鲸的体长可达30米以上，体重超过13万公斤)”可知，一头成年蓝鲸的体重可以超过13万公斤。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Calls部分的“Their calls are the loudest of any creature on the planet, in fact, and can be heard underwater for hundreds of kilometers. (事实上，它们的叫声是地球上所有生物中最响亮的，在水下数百公里外都能听到。)”可知，蓝鲸的叫声是地球上所有动物中声音最响亮的。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Range部分的“But in areas where there’s lots of food available, as many as 60 whales may come together. (但在那些食物资源丰富的地区，可能会有多达60头鲸鱼聚集在一起。)”可知，当食物充足时，蓝鲸会聚集成大群。 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. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了在乌干达纳基瓦莱难民营，由难民发起并持续多年的植树造林努力。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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. (这个地区曾经树木覆盖，但现在由于（人们）对燃料、建筑材料和耕地的需求，树木已无处可见。)”可知，人类的生存需求导致了森林的消失。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we came here, Nakivale was a forest. After seven years, the forest disappeared. (当我们来到这里时，纳基瓦莱还是一片森林。七年之后，这片森林消失了。)”和第三段中“Environmental disasters, like droughts, have worsened the crisis — a drop in the water levels of Lake Nakivale (干旱等环境灾难加剧了危机——纳基瓦莱湖水位下降)”可知，森林砍伐和干旱导致了湖泊水位下降。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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. (像Twagirayesu等人的努力推动了发展机构采取行动。建立了一个育苗场，难民们在那里接受培训，学习如何将种子从苗圃培育到各自的苗床，最后移植到主花园。)”可知，发展机构通过提供技术帮助来回应难民们的努力。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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 (我们的目标是在五年内完成项目的一半——覆盖纳基瓦莱的整个国家环境管理局(NEMA)地带，但我们买不起旱季用的水箱。我们需要像Nsamizi这样的热心人士的帮助，他们可以为我们提供水车。)”可知，这里指出项目面临缺水挑战，自身无法解决，因此呼吁外部帮助。由此可推断，项目仍需更多支持。 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. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了随着纪实类书籍遇冷，奇幻文学日渐流行。文章从人性心理、情感寄托和精神需求角度，分析奇幻作品满足人们想象、慰藉心灵、弥补现实缺憾的深层原因。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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?(虽然传统的书籍类型（如非虚构类书籍）的受欢迎程度正在下降，但奇幻故事却越来越受到人们的喜爱，这一点从《2025 年国际图书市场报告》中便可见一斑。那么，是什么让奇幻故事如此难以抗拒呢？)”可知，作者过强调一个近期的市场趋势引入这篇文章的主题。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(这个想法能帮助我们避免陷入困惑和恐惧之中，但它也抑制了我们想象力中最疯狂的部分，让我们满怀希望，期待着魔法和奇迹有一天能重新回到我们的生活中)”可知，根据查尔斯·泰勒的观点，“缓冲自我”的作用是保护我们，但又限制了我们的想象力。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides, UK author Adam Roberts pointed out that fantasy serves as a controlled and safe return to the ideas we have ignored.(此外，英国作家亚当·罗伯茨指出，奇幻文学起到了一种控制和保护的作用，它让我们得以回归那些我们曾忽视的观念)”可知，据亚当·罗伯茨所说，幻想让我们安全地重温那些被遗忘的想法。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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.”(此外，《卫报》指出，幻想并非只是人们想要的东西，而是人们所必需的，因为它能激发我们的想象力。一个纯粹的科学世界会让人感到冰冷和空虚，无法滋养我们的精神世界。正如菲利普·普尔曼在《玫瑰园》中所写，莱拉认为人类需要一些我们无法证明却又不可或缺的东西，而这些东西尤其包括我们的想象力。正如她所说：“也许想象力是一种贯穿所有世界的风……它向我们展示了真实的事物。”)”可知，作者在《玫瑰园》中提及莱拉的话语，其目的是强调想象力的重要性。 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. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】一项澳英联合研究表明，每天小幅增加睡眠、运动并改善饮食，就可能延长寿命。研究强调应综合看待生活方式，从小改变起步而非追求彻底大变。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Sleeping five more minutes, exercising 1.9 more minutes, and eating healthier each day could add a year to your life.(每天多睡五分钟、多运动1.9分钟以及吃得更健康，都能让你的寿命延长一年)”以及后文“but our study shows that’s not often the case(但我们的研究表明，情况往往并非如此)”可知，小变化可以延长寿命，说明人们总以为要彻底大改变，其实不用。故划线词意思是“彻底改变”。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(在八年的时间里，该团队对59078名英国人进行了研究。这些人提供了自己的生活方式和健康状况的相关信息，其中一些人还佩戴了设备来监测睡眠和活动水平)”可知，研究人员通过多年来对参与者的生活习惯和健康状况的跟踪来完成这项研究。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, “these findings highlight the importance of considering lifestyle behaviors as a package rather than in isolation,” Koemel told CNN.(然而，科梅尔告诉美国有线电视新闻网：“这些发现表明，我们应当将生活方式行为视为一个整体来考虑，而不能孤立地看待它们。”)”可知，科梅尔建议人们全面地对待生活习惯。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“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.(在八年的时间里，该团队对59078名英国人进行了研究。他们提供了生活方式和健康方面的详细信息，并且有些人还佩戴了设备来监测睡眠和活动水平。饮食在 10 个类别中被评分0到100分，分数越高意味着饮食越健康。基于这些数据，研究人员利用科学模型估算了参与者寿命可能的变化)”结合文章说明了一项澳英联合研究表明，每天小幅增加睡眠、运动并改善饮食，就可能延长寿命。研究强调应综合看待生活方式，从小改变起步而非追求彻底大变。可知，这篇文章的主要观点是一些小小的生活方式改变或许有助于延长寿命。 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. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了全球升温危及物种生存，人们常依靠森林应对气候问题。其实海草也是高效固碳帮手，既能护岸庇佑海洋生物，还可长期封存碳，且比森林更稳定安全。 【36题详解】 根据上文“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.(随着全球气温以惊人的速度持续上升，科学家们已经发出警告。即便全球平均气温仅升高2℃至3℃，也会使大约20%至30%的陆地物种面临灭绝的危险。在谈论应对气候变化的解决方案时，人们往往会把重点放在树木和森林上)”可知，前文提到人们应对气候变化常想到树木森林，后文开始介绍海草，F选项（但还有另一个鲜为人知的重要帮手：海草）转折引出本文说明对象，衔接自然。 【37题详解】 根据后文“It helps stop coastal damage and lessens the power of big waves in storms.(它有助于防止海岸遭受破坏，并能减弱风暴中巨浪的威力)”可知，后文提到海草能防止海岸破坏、削弱风暴海浪的力量，B选项（海草用它的根固定海床）正好解释海草能保护海岸的原因，且单数主语对应后文的指代代词It。 【38题详解】 根据后文“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.(它利用植物中的绿色物质——叶绿素来吸收阳光，这有助于它分解水分，并将二氧化碳转化为有助于生长的有用物质)”可知，后文详细解释了海草利用叶绿素、阳光转化二氧化碳供生长的过程，这就是光合作用，E选项（和陆生植物一样，海草也会进行光合作用）引出下文的解释。 【39题详解】 根据上文“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.(然而，海草的独特之处在于它能够将碳储存在海底的沙子和淤泥中。当海草死亡后，其叶子和根会沉入海底。这些粗壮的植物能够减缓水流速度，使富含碳的废物沉淀下来并得以掩埋。由于海底氧气稀少，物质分解的速度非常缓慢)”以及后文“Sometimes it can be centuries.(有时则可能长达数百年之久)”可知，前文提到海床缺氧，有机物分解极慢，后文提到碳可以储存数个世纪，G选项（这就是碳能长期被困在那里的原因）承接前文的原因，引出后文的结果。 【40题详解】 根据上文“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.(虽然森林因能够储存大量碳而广为人知，但它们也容易遭到破坏。例如，森林火灾就可能迅速将之前储存的碳重新释放到大气中)”可知，前文提到森林容易遭遇火灾，会把储存的碳重新释放回大气，C选项（另一方面，海草甸几乎不会着火）和森林的劣势形成对比，也衔接后文“They also exist in stable underwater environments.(它们也存在于稳定的水下环境中)”的描述。 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.

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! My feet finally touched the ground. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次攀岩经历为线索展开，讲述了16岁的“我”首次跟随父亲挑战多层岩壁攀爬，从充满自信的攀登，到登顶时的自豪，再到下山时遭遇绳索不足、落石击手的突发危险，在父亲冷静专业的指导下，“我”最终安全返回地面。这次经历让“我”领悟到保持冷静以及扎实的技能的重要性。（详解基于第一篇参考范文） 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写“我”感到疼痛，面临恐慌，父亲则保持冷静，引导“我”调整姿势，稳步下降。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写“我”安全抵达地面，反思经历，认识到冷静心态与专业技能的价值。 2. 续写线索：落石击中手——“我”疼痛恐慌——父亲冷静引导——“我”安全落地——“我”反思经历——“我”的领悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：hold/grasp ②遵循：follow/obey/observe 情绪类 ①冷静的：calm/undisturbed/unruffled ②恐慌：panic/dread/fear 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I rappelled down, Dad slowly lowered the rope, guiding me step by step.

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.

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.

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. That night gave me more than just music; it ____55____ me a cherished memory that would stay with me forever. 41. A. air B. sky C. environment D. condition 42.

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.
