Ton CO2 per Ton CO2 per Annual carbon Days to use up capita(人均) capita per budget, ton share of annual per year day CO2 per capita carbon budget Richest 76 0.209 2.1 10 1% Poorest 0.7 0.002 2.1 1022 50% The problem is twofold.Not only do the super-rich,frequently using private jets and high-emission luxuries,generate a disproportionate volume of emissions directly,but their financial power also fuels the crisis by supporting industries that rely heavily on fossil fuels. The consequences are unequally distributed and severe.Oxfam stresses that the worst effects of these emissions will be felt by those least responsible:people in low-income countries on the frontlines of climate breakdown.The potential global economic damage from this crisis could reach an astonishing f44 trillion by 2050. Oxfam is now calling for urgent political intervention,appealing to governments for increased taxes on what it terms "climate-polluting extreme wealth"."Fairly taxing fossil fuel companies and the extremely rich is an obvious place to start to generate the funds needed to transition to a fairer,greener future,"said Beth John,a climate justice adviser at Oxfam. 21.In how many days do the richest 1%exhaust their annual carbon budget? A.2.1. B.10. C.76. D.1022 22.Who will suffer the most from carbon inequality according to Oxfam? 3/10 A.The polluters. B.The super-rich. C.The taxpayers. D.The disadvantaged. 23.What does Beth suggest to address carbon inequality? A.Banning fossil fuels. B.Taxing major polluters. C.Promoting legal justice. D.Getting individuals involved. B I have struggled with speaking English since learning it as a second language at 27.Early in my teaching career,students complained about my accent,and my department chair once summed up my performance:Dr.Sun was a good teacher,but he had an accent.Even my children urged me to try harder. "Anything can be done,"they insisted.The unspoken accusation was clear:If I still sounded foreign,I wasn't trying hard enough. What neither of them knew was that biology had already cast the die. There is a term for the firm influence of one's mother tongue:imprinting,an early,mostly unchangeable form of learning.The idea first entered science through the brilliance of Konrad Lorenz,who famously persuaded newly hatched goslings to follow him as if he were their mother.At the time,imprinting was mostly treated as an animal curiosity.Its deeper relevance to humans took longer to sink in. Decades of research since then have reinforced the point.Human brains pass through a critical period for language acquisition.During childhood,neural (circuits are finely tuned to absorb sounds and accents.Later,those circuits become less flexible,not because aduits are lazy,but because gene expression changes with age.This is why children can pick up a new language without an accent,while adults,no matter how dedicated,cannot. I stopped fighting this biological limit and focused on areas imprinting does not control:word choice, sentence structure and rhythm.Something unexpected happened-my English writing improved greatly,and I even began writing books in English. Biology does not write our future,but it does draw boundaries.That is why we abandon many childhood dreams:basketball for being too short,soccer for starting too late.Ignoring them,we trip up. Understanding them,we can work around them.The best kind of confidence is not the belief that you can do anything.It is the wisdom to know what you cannot do,and the discipline to stop wasting precious time trying to prove otherwise. 24.What did the author's children accuse him of? A.Showing off his pronunciation. B.Not trying hard to drop his accent. C.Speaking with an accent in class. D.Refusing to learn standard English. 25.What does the underlined phrase"cast the die"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Delayed the process. B.Unlocked the potential. C.Improved the situation. D.Determined the outcome. 26.What makes it hard for adults to learn a foreign language without an accent? 4/10 A.Mental laziness. B.Learning habits. C.Biological changes.D.Genetic patterns. 27.What does the author intend to tell us? A.Play to your strengths. B.It's never too late to learn. C.Practice makes perfect. D.Early bird catches the worm. C As our planet steadily gets warmer,our bodies will need to deal with the stresses of higher temperatures. A new study shows that continued exposure to heat waves can age the body as much as regular drinking or smoking. Led by a team from the University of Hong Kong in China,the investigation looked at data from 24,922 people who had gone through medical examinations between 2008 and 2022.The researchers compared their records with the number of heat waves each person had probably experienced based on their registered addresses. The results showed that those who had been exposed to more heat waves had higher scores for biological markers associated with biological aging-a measure of the functionality of tissues,organs,and cells.The participants were sorted into four groups depending on heat wave exposure,and each step up from group to group was associated with an extra 0.023 to 0.031 years in biological age.The researchers say it puts heat waves in the same category as smoking,drinking,diet,and exercise in terms of how much they can affect biological aging. While this isn't an entirely new connection,and doesn't show direct cause and effect,it outperforms many earlier studies in that it measures heat waves over a long period of time in a large group of people.The findings add to what we know about both heat waves and aging. Since the elderly,those in rural areas,and physical workers are often more exposed to heat than others, this study highlights the need for further policy development to address environmental inequalities and enhance population adaptation to the health impacts of heat waves.The findings are also important in the context of aging populations.By 2050,some 16 percent of people worldwide are expected to be aged 65 or over,and as we all live longer lives,targeted policies and interventions are urgently needed to make sure those extra years are lived as healthily as possible. 28.How did the researchers conduct the study? A.By interviewing participants. B.By analyzing existing statistics. C.By performing health checkups. D.By tracking real-time heat waves. 29.What happened to people exposed to more heat waves? A.They tended to exercise less. B.They fell into unhealthy habits. C.They showed signs of faster aging. D.They had better biological functions. 30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? 5/10 A.Distinct strengths of the study. B.Major limitations of the study. C.Possible reasons for the findings. D.Suggostions for future studies. 31.What is implied in the last paragraph? A.Longer life guarantees healthier aging. B.The cldcrly should look after themselves. C.Efforts are nceded to boost healthy aging. D.Adaptation to aging reduces heat exposure. D Artificial intelligence is contributing to significant advances in many academic and technical fields Although the application of AI tools can benefit science and society,it also creates risks. AI slop-low-quality,inaccurate content from Generative AI like ChatGPT-floods scientific iiterature with false data and misleading reasoning.AI review tools favour such slop.After ChatGPT's 2022 release,scientists lacking oversight submit error-ridden papers.AI slop also appears in paper mills()- companies mass-producing papers;in 2022 alone,416 mill-produced articles were withdrawn.Though false research existed before Generative Al,this new technology has facilitated its expansion,driving a transition from individual bad actors to illegal businesses. Unfortunately,professional journals continue to publish AI slop.This problem arises partially from novel challenges specific to Generative Al,such as the difficulties involved in detecting AI slop;the complexities in enforcing policies that require declaration of AI assistance;and the increase in submissions arising from AI assistance.The AI slop trend also results from long-standing failures in the review system. Even before Generative Al,overstretched volunteer reviewers and editors lacked the time and resources to ensure high standards,allowing many low-quality papers to pass.AI-generated and AI-assisted papers are pushing an already overstressed system to the breaking point. Even the very citations (that provide continuity and prior evidence in scientific papers are being undermined by Generative AI.Librarians have reported increasing requests for access to Al-generated citations that do not exist.Many such citations have aiready entered the academic literature,contributing to the reduction of trust in science.When researchers cite such slop,they pollute the academic world with unreliable or biased analyses,damaging confidence in the entire scientific ecosystem. What can we do to contain the AI slop in scientific research?Researchers who use AI to conduct literature searches should carefully check references for reliability.AI developers and companies bear some responsibility for ensuring that these tools are trained on high-quality research papers and data.For example, scientific institutions can pressure developers to fine-tune their AI models using the most reliable sources and to openly share the results of their safety and accuracy tests with users.This is just the beginning of a long journey. 32.How does the new technology lead to the expansion of fake research? A.It transforms illegal businesses. B.It saves struggling paper mills. C.It eliminates misleading reasoning. D.It boosts the production of false papers. 33.What can we learn about the academic review system? 6/10 A.It is overburdened. B.It is underestimated. C.It is rich in resources. D.It is efficient in checks 34.What does the underlined word"undermined"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Inspected. B.Ignored. C.Weakened. D.Mixed. 35.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A.AI slop should be tackled collectively. B.AI companies should be fined severely. C.AI tools can be trained on various data D.AI developers are the root cause of AI slop. 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At the age of 35,Professor Setiya found himself at a crossroads.He had everything he thought he wanted:a distinguished position as an MIT professor,a loving family,and financial security.36As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed,the long,predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line-a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement,decline,and death.This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled. 37He stopped running,and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion:aimless walks,open conversations with friends,self-knowledge for interest(not achievements), and raising his children not as a "project to produce a successful human",but as an enjoyable process 38 Setiya's story is a vivid example of how stepping away from unending pursuits can lift one out of a low point.When you are dealing with tough times,especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability,there emerges a powerful opporiunity for deep positive change.39It can help people during this period to live in the moment and appreciate what's happening right now,rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past. The journey leads to a process called individuation.40Instead,life begins adding a qualitative dimension to the quantitative one.You start to find new sources of strength and renewal in unexplored piaces,and your past experiences become the foundation upon which you build your next steps,allowing you to grow and rise again in the second half of life. A.He found a way out. B.He set much clearer goals C.Trying harder only makes matters worse. D.Yet he couldn't shake off an empty feeling E.Achieving more no longer holds the answer. F.The combination of all that brought him relief. G.By being more present,you can feel more grounded and satisfied. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 7/10 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 was born in a rural town.The life there was simple yet41-unspoken rules governed everything and new ideas were rarely tolerated.

I couldn't just leave it there.I picked up the little creature and wrapped it in my jacket to keep it warm. When I got home,my parents were surprised to see me with a lost cat,but they understood my concern and allowed me to keep it for the night. I dried the cat with a towel and gave it some milk and a small blanket to sleep on.It purred softly,as if thanking me.That night,as I lay in bed,I thought about how the cat must have been alone and scared in the cold rain. The next day,I took the cat to the veterinarian (to make sure it was healthy.The doctor said it 9/10 was just a little undernourished and needed some love and care.I decided to name the cat Luna Over the next few weeks,Luna grew stronger and more playful.She would follow me around the house and curl up on my lap when I was reading.I was determined to find her a forever home. One sunny weekend,I organized a small adoption event in the neighborhood park.Many people came to see the cute cat,but no one seemed quite the right fit.Just as I was starting to feel disheartened,a littie giri approached with her parents.Her eyes lit up when she saw Luna,and she gently stroked the kitten's fur. I could tell from the look on her face that she would give Luna all the love and attention she needed. With a heavy heart but a smile on my face,I handed Luna over to the little girl. Amazed and thrilled,the little girl hugged Luna tightly in her arms. Two weeks later,I went to see Luna in the little girl's home. e d 公 t 10/10
