Traditional ways of monitoring wildlife, which mainly depend on manual patrols (巡逻), often face problems like terrible environment, long distances and low efficiency, making it hard to protect rare animals in time and completely. A “sky-earth-space” monitoring system has emerged to solve these problems. It has three main parts and can track wild animal groups all-round and in real time. Its structure can be shown clearly by a simple diagram, which displays how the three monitoring layers connect and work together: Structure Diagram of “Sky-Earth-Space” Monitoring System The diagram takes the central database as the core. The three monitoring layers (aerial, terrestrial, space-based) are connected to it. Each layer collects data on its own and sends it to the database for analysis, forming a complete monitoring cycle. Monitoring Layer Core Equipment Main Function Aerial UAVs with thermal (热的) cameras Cover large wild areas fast; detect activities in darkness Terrestrial Infrared (红外的) cameras Monitor water sources/ corridors 24/7; record natural behaviors without disturbance Space-based Satellite navigation & positioning collars Track long-distance migration of large mammals In practice, the aerial layer uses UAVs to scan large areas, while the ground layer sets infrared cameras at key spots. The space layer helps track long-distance migration. All data go to the central database. This tech system greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of biodiversity protection. It reduces the need for manual work, thus reducing human influence on wildlife and helping endangered species recover better. 21. What is a disadvantage of traditional wildlife monitoring methods? A. They are too human-dependent. B. They fail to cover long distances. C. They can’t save endangered species. D. They require complex technical operation. 22. What is the main function of the aerial monitoring layer? A. To track long-distance animal migration. B. To quickly scan and detect large wild areas. C. To build and update the central database. D. To record animals’ natural behaviors non-stop. 23. What can we learn about the “sky-earth-space” monitoring system? A. It primarily needs manual data collection. B. It totally removes human influence on wildlife. C. It has fully replaced traditional protection ways. D. It highly contributes to biodiversity preservation. B I am the world’s leading climate change campaigner. Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we’re exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING. Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance. The only problem? Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house. Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it’s midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power. What’s Jocasta up to? Running a factory? The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I’ve earned. What? Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog? I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time. 24. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. He is a creative businessman. B. He takes pride in the solar gains. C. He enjoys launching campaigns. D. He has a gift for app development. 25. What does Jocasta complain about? A. The unknown waste of power. B. Her family’s impatient attitude. C. The unstable supply of electricity. D. Her husband’s unreasonable behavior. 26. What does the underlined phrase “through the roof” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Rocketing. B. Changing. C. Freezing. D. Diving. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. Great minds think ahead of their time. D. Technology is a good servant but a bad master. C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 28. What are cities like DC trying to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings. C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home. 29. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 30. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life D This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Latvian animated film Flow in the theater. I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was sold. It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half. You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends. What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity—different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named FLOW, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river. Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations. 32. What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow? A. Recommendations from strangers. B. Curiosity about an unknown movie. C. Its positive reception and many awards. D. Its unique theme concerning animals. 33. Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow? A. It contains no spoken dialogue. B. It involves more than human characters. C. It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D. It is primarily a Christmas-themed story. 34. In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply? A. The difficulty of survival. B. The loss of humanity. C. The unpredictability of life. D. The unity of diverse species. 35. Where is the text probably from? A. A textbook on animation. B. An eco-tour journal. C. An entertainment website. D. An editorial on global warming. 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 part of my research for my book, I’m doing an experiment — a “daily visit.” I wanted to visit the same place every day, for an entire year, to see how that experience would affect my perceptions. ____36____ A large place, a beautiful place, and an inexhaustible place.

But here’s the thing: I’ve lived within walking distance of the Met for years. ____37____ The museum had always been there, waiting, but I’d mostly ignored it. For me, the Met was an untapped possibility that I was eager to explore, and I wondered if other people felt the same way.

When I started this experiment of making a daily visit, I had no idea what to expect. Spoiler alert (剧透): I love this visit. ____39____ I may visit the Met every day for the rest of my life. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotations by Alberto Giacometti: Everything gains in grandeur (宏伟) every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. ____40____ A. It’s a highlight of my daily schedule. B. I was astonished by the flood of answers I received. C. Visiting the same place every day was not easy for me. D. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is. E. The fact that I could visit was no guarantee that I would visit. F. People who try new things and go to new places tend to be happier. G. For this challenge, I needed a place I could easily visit, day after day. 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。 Since young, I had needed to write as one needs to breathe, but social values convinced me that writing wasn’t ____41____.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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。 On a cold, damp evening in mid-November, a sharp wind cut through the streets, but Jack paid little attention to the chill. As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders—especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 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。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. 彭山一中2026年适应性考试答案 听力 1-5 CACAB 6-10 ACABC 11-15 BABAC 16-20 BACCB 阅读 21-23 ABD 24-27 BDAD 28-31 ADAC 32-35 CABC 36-40 GEBAD 完型 41-45 CABBA 46-50 DBCDA 51-55 DCBAC 语填 56.6. typically 57.

He couldn’t believe how convenient life was — using AI-powered mobile payment everywhere and seeing high-speed trains with smart scheduling. “Everything is so efficient!” he said. He also tried making dumplings with my family. Though his first few were clumsy, he loved the warmth and laughter shared around the table. Mike felt that Chinese people blend technology with tradition beautifully. He left with unforgettable memories and a strong desire to revisit, saying he would definitely come back to explore more of China's charm. 范文二 Last month, my friend Mike was amazed by his first visit to my hometown under the visa-free policy. He was impressed by China’s clean streets, modern public transport, and how locals used AI translation apps to chat with him effortlessly. He noticed driverless delivery vehicles on the streets and real-time bus arrival screens at every stop. “It feels like living in the future,” he laughed. To explore Chinese culture, he joined a morning tai chi class in the park. Sweeping his arms gently, he found the slow movements calming and meaningful. Mike said the combination of high-tech convenience and ancient wellness practices gave him a totally new understanding of China—dynamic yet peaceful. 范文三 Last month, my friend Mike was amazed by his first visit to my hometown under the visa-free policy. He had expected a crowded, noisy country, but instead found QR code payments for snacks, shared power banks everywhere, and and the friendly locals who always smiled and helped him with translation apps. “China is incredibly advanced,” he remarked. He also experienced a traditional tea ceremony at a local teahouse. Watching the graceful pouring and smelling the jasmine tea, he felt a deep sense of respect and relaxation. Mike concluded that China’s modernity never overshadows its cultural roots—it simply enhances them. 读后续写 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. His clothes were dusty, but the gifts in his hands were held with care. “Ms. White, these are for you,” he grinned, offering the apples and milk tea. “Wishing you happiness and good health. I am truly sorry about the delay.” Tears welled up in Ms. White’s eyes. “Oh, Jack! You shouldn’t have walked such a long way just for this!” she said, her voice soft with emotion for his unshakable honesty, even amid his own misfortune! Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. She posted a video describing what happened, writing, “Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.” The post quickly went viral, receiving millions of likes and shares. Strangers were touched by the ordinary man’s extraordinary act. The wave of kindness soon reached his delivery company. They promptly responded, providing Jack with a brand-new e-bike and a cash reward to support his honest work. Even more wonderfully, with the help of numerous alert eyes online, his original bike was located and returned. 1.M: Excuse me, I picked up my suitcase from the baggage claim, but its wheel is broken. W: I’m sorry to hear that, sir. Could you set down your information in this damage report? We’ll arrange for repair. M: That’s okay. 2.M: Have you discussed your career choice with your teacher, Lisa? W: My teacher suggests I become a designer because of my art skills, but I want to be a doctor to help sick people. M: That’s such a kind goal. 3.W: We have to find a new apartment, Mike. The neighbor’s music is always too loud at night. M: I agree. It’s been affecting our sleep. Any ideas on where to look? W: Maybe we can check the buildings near the park—quieter there. 4.M: Do you often hike this mountain? W: No, this is my first time. How about you? The views are amazing, but it’s harder to climb than I expected. M: Yeah, but the top will be worth it. 5.W: Now we’ve passed the coffee shop. Go straight for 300 meters, and then turn left. The library is right next to a bookstore. M: Great, we still have 15 minutes before it closes. 6,7M: Ma’am, could you pull over to the side of the road, please? I need to check your vehicle registration. W: Is there a problem, officer? I just renewed my registration last month. M: Your rear license plate light is out. Also, do you have your insurance card with you? W: Oh no, I think I left it at home. I usually keep it in the glove box, but I must have taken it out yesterday. M: That’s another issue. You’ll need to provide proof of insurance within 48 hours, or you’ll face a fine. W: I’ll bring it to the police station tomorrow. 8,9,10.M: Lily! Long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here. W: Tom! It’s great to see you. Are you here for the afternoon tea? M: Yeah, my sister Emma is visiting from another city, and she likes the tea here. You met her at the company party two years ago, right? W: Of course! She was wearing a blue dress and talked about her love for photography. M: That’s her. Are you here by yourself? Would you like to sit with us? W: That’s so kind of you, but I’m waiting for my friend Lucy. She used to work in your department before she moved to Shanghai. M: Lucy? I remember her—she was really good at graphic design. How is she doing now? W: She just got a promotion and moved back to the city last week. M: Wow, that’s great news. I should say hi to her later. We should all grab dinner sometime soon. 11,12,13.W: I’m so tired of the shows on TV lately. There’s nothing worth watching. M: Really? I think there are a lot of good options. What’s the problem? W: They’ve canceled most of the drama series I like, and now it’s all talent shows and cooking competitions. They’re so repetitive. M: Well, those shows get high ratings. People love watching others perform or cook. W: But shouldn’t TV offer more meaningful content, like shows that teach people new skills or tell interesting stories? M: TV is mainly for relaxation, right? If you want to learn something, you can watch online courses or read books. W: I don’t agree. TV could be both entertaining and educational—there’s no need to choose one. 14,15,16,17.W: Welcome to Community Talk. I’m Maria, and today we have Mr. Clark from Greenfield Middle School. Hello, Mr. Clark. Could you tell us about the school’s community project? M: Thank you for having me. The project is called “Connect with the Community”, and it works like this: every Friday afternoon, students go out to help with different tasks in the neighborhood. W: That sounds wonderful. What kind of tasks do they do? M: Some help the elderly with shopping or cleaning, others plant trees in the community park, and a few help at the local animal shelter. W: What about the community members? Do they take part in the project too? M: Yes! Every month, community members who have different jobs—like doctors, firefighters, and chefs—come to the school to give talks to the students. W: That must help students learn more about different careers. M: Exactly. Students also get to visit their workplaces sometimes, like the hospital or the fire station. W: So the project helps both students and the community. That’s fantastic. Thank you, Mr. Clark. M: You’re welcome. 18,19,20.W: Good morning, everyone. Today I want to share how I used art to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans. Plastic waste is a big problem, but many people don’t realize how much it affects marine life. I live near a beach, and every time I go there, I see plastic bottles and bags everywhere. So I started an art project called “Ocean Treasures”. I collected plastic waste from the beach, cleaned it, and turned it into sculptures of sea animals—like turtles, dolphins, and fish. Each sculpture has a tag that says how long it takes for that type of plastic to break down. I displayed the sculptures on the beach and in local malls. The project has made a difference: more people are now bringing reusable bags to the beach, and local shops have started selling reusable water bottles. Some schools even asked me to teach students how to make their own plastic sculptures to spread the word. ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
