A
Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
1. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs.
B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations.
D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
2. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked.
C. Illustrated. D. Wondered.
3. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material.
B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming.
D. Dream big and dare to fail.
B
In our fast-paced, stressful lives, we’re often turning to social media, online shopping, or gaming to escape daily pressures. However, the experience can often be the opposite, leaving us more exhausted. This begs the question: do we scroll because we’re stressed, or are we stressed because we scroll?
To better understand the subtle (微妙的) relationship of stress and internet use, particularly how specific online behaviors influence stress levels, Belal’s team, from Finland’s Aalto University, conducted one of the first studies. They recorded real-world internet usage through tracking software installed on participants’ devices. Combined with a large sample size and a lengthy observation period, the findings offer especially valuable insight into how online habits tie in with stress.
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, collected internet usage data from around 1,500 adults over a seven-month period, comprising nearly 47 million web visits and 14 million app sessions. When compared with participants’ self-reported stress levels from questionnaires, researchers found a strong link between internet use and increased stress, particularly among those who already experienced daily stress. Women consistently reported higher stress levels than men, while stress tended to decrease with age and wealth. Not all online activities were equal, though. The study found that extended time spent on social media, online shopping, and gaming platforms was associated with higher stress levels compared to activities like checking emails or reading the news.
There are always concerns over internet life, especially increasing social media engagement, and some countries, such as Australia, banned social media for anyone under 16. The researchers hope that by gathering more detailed information about people’s internet habits, they can eventually develop concrete recommendations and tools that support healthier, more regulated online engagement. Juhi Kulshrestha, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, cautions against oversimplified solutions. She believes that blanket bans on internet use may overlook the emotional support certain online spaces provide. And it’s really crucial to study these issues further so the chicken and egg problem can be solved.
The research team plans to explore how different types of news — political, entertainment, or sports coverage — affect stress, helping further clarify the internet’s complex role in mental health.
4. Why did Belal’s team conduct their research?
A. To compare job-related stress levels. B. To prove why internet use results in stress.
C. To create apps to help lower stress in adults. D. To study how stress interacts with internet use.
5. What is a feature of the research method?
A. Focusing on a specific age group. B. Collecting large-scale real data over time.
C. Conducting nationwide online interviews. D. Using lab experiments to measure stress levels.
6. What does Juhi warn against?
A. Painting everything with the same brush. B. Judging a book by its cover.
C. Sacrificing tomorrow for today. D. Counting your chickens before they hatch.
C
Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.
Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen.
The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat.
The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.
Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.”
7. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak?
A. To introduce the feature of sound waves.
B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting.
C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak.
D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting.
8. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4?
A. Noise reduction is ineffective.
B. Ship operators ignore guidelines.
C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring.
D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction.
9. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations?
A. To address noise issues.
B. To reduce fuel efficiency.
C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines.
D. To help measure influences on wildlife.
10. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Ships Slow Down for Whales.
B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging.
C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution.
D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Street names help us figure out where we are. This can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too.
Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. ____11____ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as the Kitchener (1850-1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa.
Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. ____12____ But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life. So what should we do?
____13____ Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa.
Where such names remain, people are creating walking tours to provide full context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. ____14____ It builds thoughtful ways forward locally.
Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. ____15____
A. Residents rarely notice the street names.
B. My view is that such streets be renamed.
C. Perhaps we should consider the evidence.
D. Perhaps that is a take-back we can all adopt.
E. Another, changing these names erases history.
F. This kind of practice is creative response to damaging histories.
G. To name a street after a person is a way of honoring their achievements.

Some people were born gifted, but I wasn’t. Well into my sixties, I was ____16____ searching for something I did really well. When my friend advised me to join an art class, I ____17____ but finally decided to have a go.
Now here I was staring at a ____18____ canvas (画布), with a photograph of a sunflower beside it, wondering what I was doing in this class. “Grid off (分格) the photo and canvas into squares,” Debbie, my teacher, walked us through the ____19____ of painting. As I followed the instructions, I thought back on my past ____20____ to make artwork. In junior high, I eagerly chose art, but my enthusiasm was ____21____. The teacher’s harsh criticism quickly made me drop the class. Then in college, I ____22____ a drawing class but barely kept up, leaving my confidence ____23____ again. After that, my creative energies were restricted only to secret ____24____.
This time, I wouldn’t let that happen again. I gridded off my picture and painted just one _____25_____ at a time. My shaky hands gradually _____26_____ and found their rhythm. Little by little, a cheerful sunflower came to life. Debbie had told us, “Don’t think of it as part of a bigger picture. And don’t guess at where it _____27_____ with the rest.” A single sunflower had brought me more _____28_____ than an entire field of flowers.
The sunflower finally _____29_____ and bloomed (开花) within me: I was a late bloomer, finally uncovering a truth we too often forget — take small steps and dreams have no _____30_____ limit.

“Did you bring your doll?” my friend Reba gave off me at the door. I showed her the bag. I was hiding behind my back and followed her to her bedroom — all to herself, unlike the one I shared with my sister. But envy struck when I saw the newest doll on her shelf with a stylish wardrobe (全套服装). To me, Reba was the luckiest girl. Yet I wanted to level the playing field with one of the birthday presents I was expecting.
Settled on the floor, I presented my hand-me-down doll — a figure with unbiased legs, dated hair, faded fabrics, and mismatched shoes. Meanwhile, everything about Reba’s doll, from its silly hair to cool sunglasses, said young and free. With a click, Reba folded its knees, settled it behind the wheel of its tiny convertible (敞篷车) car and rolled it away with a goodbye wave to mine.
As night fell, it was time to head home. We parted with a promise to compare our dolls another day. I knew a convertible was a fantasy, so my birthday wish was simple: a genuine, store-bought fashion set for my doll, anything brand new. My parents always did the best they could for my sisters and me, and I knew my mom would take my request to heart.
Finally, the big day arrived. Mom offered her gift — a humble shoebox. I lifted the top carefully. The shoebox was full to the top, but as I pulled out the top piece, my heart sank. It wasn’t a store-bought set. I knew that fabric — it was from my own outgrown clothes.
“Brand-new and never been worn by a doll!” Mom said. “I made these outfits just for you!” She was so proud of her accomplishment. I swallowed my disappointment and ran over to hug her. She must have been secretly working at her sewing machine for weeks, carefully cutting out patterns, choosing fabrics, adding tiny details with her needle and thread and an abundance of patience. All so my doll could look her best. But they were not what I had desired, after all.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Reba invited me over to play a few days later.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Lucky you!” Reba said, her eyes shining with envy.

Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
1. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs.
B. Living a double life between work and family.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security.(Maya的梦想并不温和。它们很执着,在她会计课本的空白处以断断续续的诗句形式展开。她的未来已经由父母规划好了:一个商业学位,一份稳定的工作,一份安全感)”以及第二段中的“Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion.(Maya 服从了,白天研究电子表格,但到了晚上,她用假名更新博客。那是她真实的声音,一场无声的反抗)”可知,Maya的内心挣扎源于平衡自己的写作梦想与父母的期望。
【2题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things.(这场冲突不是一次对话,而是一种无声且持续的压力。她的父亲把她的笔记本视为一个危险、有风险的世界的证据。她的母亲担心这些故事是对需要实际事物的现实生活的逃避)”以及 “studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name.(白天研究电子表格,但到了晚上,她用假名更新博客)”可知,Maya迫于父母的压力,表面上服从了父母的安排,白天学习商业相关内容,因此 complied意为“服从”,与obeyed同义。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的““The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”(“冲突不是你梦想的障碍,”她会告诉他们。“它是创作素材。不要写童话故事。写下那场风暴。然后,写下那个学着在雨中站立的人。”)”可知,Maya给青少年的建议是把人生中的风暴(困境、冲突)转化为写作的素材,即把风暴写成故事。

In our fast-paced, stressful lives, we’re often turning to social media, online shopping, or gaming to escape daily pressures. However, the experience can often be the opposite, leaving us more exhausted. This begs the question: do we scroll because we’re stressed, or are we stressed because we scroll?
To better understand the subtle (微妙的) relationship of stress and internet use, particularly how specific online behaviors influence stress levels, Belal’s team, from Finland’s Aalto University, conducted one of the first studies. They recorded real-world internet usage through tracking software installed on participants’ devices. Combined with a large sample size and a lengthy observation period, the findings offer especially valuable insight into how online habits tie in with stress.
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, collected internet usage data from around 1,500 adults over a seven-month period, comprising nearly 47 million web visits and 14 million app sessions. When compared with participants’ self-reported stress levels from questionnaires, researchers found a strong link between internet use and increased stress, particularly among those who already experienced daily stress. Women consistently reported higher stress levels than men, while stress tended to decrease with age and wealth. Not all online activities were equal, though. The study found that extended time spent on social media, online shopping, and gaming platforms was associated with higher stress levels compared to activities like checking emails or reading the news.
There are always concerns over internet life, especially increasing social media engagement, and some countries, such as Australia, banned social media for anyone under 16. The researchers hope that by gathering more detailed information about people’s internet habits, they can eventually develop concrete recommendations and tools that support healthier, more regulated online engagement. Juhi Kulshrestha, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, cautions against oversimplified solutions. She believes that blanket bans on internet use may overlook the emotional support certain online spaces provide. And it’s really crucial to study these issues further so the chicken and egg problem can be solved.
The research team plans to explore how different types of news — political, entertainment, or sports coverage — affect stress, helping further clarify the internet’s complex role in mental health.
4. Why did Belal’s team conduct their research?
A. To compare job-related stress levels. B. To prove why internet use results in stress.
C. To create apps to help lower stress in adults. D. To study how stress interacts with internet use.
5. What is a feature of the research method?
A. Focusing on a specific age group. B. Collecting large-scale real data over time.
C. Conducting nationwide online interviews. D. Using lab experiments to measure stress levels.
6. What does Juhi warn against?
A. Painting everything with the same brush. B. Judging a book by its cover.
C. Sacrificing tomorrow for today. D. Counting your chickens before they hatch.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了人们常靠上网排解压力,反倒愈发疲惫。研究证实刷社交平台、网购等行为易加重压力,不同人群压力感受有差异,专家不赞同全面封禁,主张深入研究理性引导。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To better understand the subtle (微妙的) relationship of stress and internet use, particularly how specific online behaviors influence stress levels, Belal’s team, from Finland’s Aalto University, conducted one of the first studies.(为了更深入地理解压力与网络使用之间的微妙关系,特别是特定的网络行为如何影响压力水平,来自芬兰阿尔托大学的贝拉尔团队开展了一项开创性的研究)”可知,贝拉尔的团队开展这项研究是为了探究压力与网络使用之间的相互关系。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, collected internet usage data from around 1,500 adults over a seven-month period, comprising nearly 47 million web visits and 14 million app sessions.(这项研究发表在《医学互联网研究杂志》上,研究团队在七个月的时间里收集了约1500名成年人的互联网使用数据,其中包括近4700万次网页访问和1400万次应用程序使用记录)”可知,该研究方法的一个特点是长期收集大量真实数据。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“She believes that blanket bans on internet use may overlook the emotional support certain online spaces provide. And it’s really crucial to study these issues further so the chicken and egg problem can be solved.(她认为,全面禁止使用互联网的做法可能会忽视某些网络空间所提供的情感支持。因此,深入研究这些问题至关重要,这样才能解决“先有鸡还是先有蛋”的难题)”可知,Juhi警告我们不要用同样的方式对待所有事情。
C
Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.
Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen.
The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat.
The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.
Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.”
7. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak?
A. To introduce the feature of sound waves.
B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting.
C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak.
D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting.
8. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4?
A. Noise reduction is ineffective.
B. Ship operators ignore guidelines.
C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring.
D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction.
9. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations?
A. To address noise issues.
B. To reduce fuel efficiency.
C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines.
D. To help measure influences on wildlife.
10. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Ships Slow Down for Whales.
B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging.
C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution.
D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers.
【答案】7. B 8. D 9. A 10. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍越来越多的海洋噪音污染问题给鲸鱼的捕猎带来了困扰,为此,各方从多个角度投入力量改变这一现状。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.(但是,现代海洋生活中的一种常见现象可能就像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷,使得鲸鱼最爱的食物更难被发现。罪魁祸首是什么?船只交通噪音。)”可知,这里使用鲑鱼的隐形斗篷作为一个比喻,描述了船只交通噪音如何使得鲸鱼更难找到它们的食物,就像给鲑鱼穿上了一件隐形斗篷一样,由此可知,文中提到鲑鱼的隐形斗篷是为了表明鲸鱼捕食困难的境况。故选B项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began.(加拿大温哥华弗雷泽港务局在2023年报告说,在关键栖息地内,87%的船只为南部常驻鲸类减速或避让,这导致与2019年开始减速前相比,噪音水平降低了4.2分贝。)”可知,大多数船只遵循指导原则并自愿在关键栖息地减速,从而实现了噪音水平的有效降低,由此可知,第四段中的数据表明了自愿减速导致噪音减少。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.(例如,一种基于更安静无人机螺旋桨设计的螺旋桨。如果更加高效且更安静的船用螺旋桨的说法属实,这对于减少燃料使用和降低交通噪音都是好消息。)”可知,螺旋桨技术的创新旨在制造更加安静和高效的船用螺旋桨,有助于解决噪音问题,由此可知,螺旋桨技术创新的意义是解决噪音问题。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.(但是,现代海洋生活中的一种常见现象可能就像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷,使得鲸鱼最爱的食物更难被发现。罪魁祸首是什么?船只交通噪音。)”可知,噪音污染成为像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷一样,使得虎鲸难以捕捉到它们的主要食物来源,引出下文介绍的通过船只减速和其他技术手段来减轻这种影响的努力,由此可知,本文主要讲述的船只噪音污染问题给鲸鱼的捕猎带来的困扰以及解决这一问题的方法和技术进步,所以题目“船只噪音影响鲸鱼觅食” 准确反映了文章的核心内容,适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Street names help us figure out where we are. This can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too.
Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. ____11____ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as the Kitchener (1850-1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa.
Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. ____12____ But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life. So what should we do?
____13____ Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa.
Where such names remain, people are creating walking tours to provide full context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. ____14____ It builds thoughtful ways forward locally.
Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. ____15____
A. Residents rarely notice the street names.
B. My view is that such streets be renamed.
C. Perhaps we should consider the evidence.
D. Perhaps that is a take-back we can all adopt.
E. Another, changing these names erases history.
F. This kind of practice is creative response to damaging histories.
G. To name a street after a person is a way of honoring their achievements.
【答案】11. G 12. E 13. B 14. F 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
由上文“One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter.(一种观点认为这不过是小题大做。街道名称并不重要。)”及下文“But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life.(但是,通过街道名称来纪念那些应该为杀戮负责的人,会保留对过去的庆祝态度,并在日常生活中使其正常化。)”可知,上文说明了一种认为街道名称不重要的观点,下文通过转折说明另一种观点,即街道名称的重要性,本空应说明另一种反对的观点,E选项“另一种观点是,更改这些名称会抹去历史。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【13题详解】
由上文“So what should we do?(那么我们该怎么办?)”及下文“Another option is the Amsterdam approach.(另一个选择是阿姆斯特丹的做法。)”可知,上文提出问题,下文给出另一个选择,本空应给出第一个选择或观点,B选项“我的观点是,这样的街道应该重新命名。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【14题详解】
由上文“In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people.(在格拉斯哥,组织了一次游览,让人们了解这座城市在奴役人民中所扮演的角色。)”及下文“It builds thoughtful ways forward locally.(它在当地建立了深思熟虑的前进方式。)”可知,上文描述了格拉斯哥的一次游览活动,下文说明这次活动的影响,空格处应评价这种做法的意义,F选项“这种做法是对破坏性历史的创造性回应。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【15题详解】
由上文“If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher.(如果Kitchener Road必须保留它的名字,我宁愿想象他们是在纪念“卡利普索之王”,而不是殖民屠夫。)”可知,上文作者提议若保留街名,宁愿把它解读为致敬音乐人而非殖民统治者,可知空格处应收尾总结、认可这种解读方式。D选项“也许这是我们都可以接受的看法。”能承接上文,符合语境。

第五部分:写作(满分25分)
71. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Did you bring your doll?” my friend Reba gave off me at the door. I showed her the bag. I was hiding behind my back and followed her to her bedroom — all to herself, unlike the one I shared with my sister. But envy struck when I saw the newest doll on her shelf with a stylish wardrobe (全套服装). To me, Reba was the luckiest girl. Yet I wanted to level the playing field with one of the birthday presents I was expecting.
Settled on the floor, I presented my hand-me-down doll — a figure with unbiased legs, dated hair, faded fabrics, and mismatched shoes. Meanwhile, everything about Reba’s doll, from its silly hair to cool sunglasses, said young and free. With a click, Reba folded its knees, settled it behind the wheel of its tiny convertible (敞篷车) car and rolled it away with a goodbye wave to mine.
As night fell, it was time to head home. We parted with a promise to compare our dolls another day. I knew a convertible was a fantasy, so my birthday wish was simple: a genuine, store-bought fashion set for my doll, anything brand new. My parents always did the best they could for my sisters and me, and I knew my mom would take my request to heart.
Finally, the big day arrived. Mom offered her gift — a humble shoebox. I lifted the top carefully. The shoebox was full to the top, but as I pulled out the top piece, my heart sank. It wasn’t a store-bought set. I knew that fabric — it was from my own outgrown clothes.
“Brand-new and never been worn by a doll!” Mom said. “I made these outfits just for you!” She was so proud of her accomplishment. I swallowed my disappointment and ran over to hug her. She must have been secretly working at her sewing machine for weeks, carefully cutting out patterns, choosing fabrics, adding tiny details with her needle and thread and an abundance of patience. All so my doll could look her best. But they were not what I had desired, after all.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Reba invited me over to play a few days later.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Lucky you!” Reba said, her eyes shining with envy.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Reba invited me over to play a few days later. I put my shoebox under my arm, knocked on the door and prepared to be envious. “Look! I got three fashion packs!” she announced, spreading them on the bed. And I hesitantly opened my shoebox. Reba peered in, then carefully lined up a couple of my outfits beside hers. “They’re...not store-bought,” I said quickly before she could point it out. “My mom made them.” Reba grew quiet, studying each piece and holding some up to the light. Her curiosity slowly melted into a different expression — one I recognized
“Lucky you!” Reba said, her eyes shining with envy. She gently took one of them, her fingers tracing the fine needlework. “May I?” she whispered, holding it up to her doll. “Look,” she breathed. “It fits perfectly.” She then tried each piece on her own doll. “Fashion packs are common,” she whispered, “but your shoebox holds stories.” Reba’s words struck me deeply: her envy wasn’t for the items, but for the love and patience woven into them by mom's hands. At that moment, my old hand-me-down doll, dressed in love’s vocabulary, was beyond compare. And I finally felt I was the luckiest girl in the world.
