B Over the years, George Frost, who is originally from London, has taught art in the Vocational Education Committee (VEC) and has had a number of exhibitions, including one at Cork Airport, which was a great success. He has also exhibited at Bishopstown Library, where he sold most of the paintings on show. George presented a painting of his to a politician and also a university. For the elderly George, art is something he is crazy about. Art gets him up in the morning, and he often works a full day, painting in the studio in his home. His home in Cork City is full of paintings of landscapes, portraits and scenic spots, including an attractive description of Ross Castle in Killarney. His desire is to give lessons in it to senior citizens, preferably through the medium of television. His thinking is that TV art will attract a relatively big audience. And there are practical considerations. George is in good condition apart from suffering from a bad back, which makes it difficult for him to teach a class as he will have to bend down to see the artworks and give advice to students. George is now eager to appeal (呼吁) to television producers to broadcast his art classes on TV. He suggests that the filming can take place outdoors in Crosshaven during the summer months, as he frequently paints in the sailing village, attracting the attention of passers-by to his artistic skills. George believes he has much to offer older individuals who may feel alone and lack a sense of purpose in life. Therefore, he is enthusiastic about sharing his expertise with senior citizens, some of whom may discover a talent for painting. The focus is on developing inclusiveness among the elderly. George even does not seek financial support for his services, and he thinks that his effort will likely assist in reducing government health expenses, as it can serve as an outlet for senior citizens. 24. What does George work as? A. An educator and a painter. B. A member of VEC. C. A librarian in Bishopstown. D. An artist and a politician. 25. Why does George prefer to teach art through television? A. He is too old to travel outside. B. He wants to advertise his paintings. C. He expects it will draw more viewers. D. He has difficulty moving due to a bad back. 26. What is George like? A. Honest and modest. B. Considerate and helpful. C. Humorous and generous. D. Competitive and daring. 27. What does the author mainly express? A. Sharing is caring. B. Art heals the soul. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too old to learn. C With express delivery (快递) common everywhere in China, where almost 175 billion packages were delivered last year, both the government and businesses are taking steps to reduce packaging waste and create a greener future for this fast-growing industry. Last year, express deliveries in China reached 174.5 billion, the highest number for any country in the world for the 11th year in a row, and a 21% increase compared to the year before. According to a report from the State Post Bureau, in 2024 alone, about 9.92 billion packaging boxes and nearly 17 billion meters of tape (胶布) were used in China’s express delivery industry. This huge amount has raised increasing worries about the harm to nature from packaging waste and using too many materials. In recent years, major express delivery companies and post offices have tried to use fewer materials, reuse packaging, and develop materials that break down naturally. Express delivery companies usually put goods in their own boxes, but now some are sending packages in original boxes to avoid extra packaging. Gao Jiaqi, manager of JDL Express’ smart logistics park in Hangzhou, said sending items directly was becoming more common. “When goods arrive from makers, we send them straight to buyers without new packaging,” Gao said. JDL is the delivery part of online shopping platform JD. “To follow rules against plastic, SF Express in Hainan has used bags that break down completely and eco-friendly tapes since 2021. Over 40 million bags have been used, and these tapes are used everywhere in Hainan,” said Shen Qi, leader of SF Express’ eco-packaging project. “These earth-friendly materials will be used more and more around China,” Shen added. 28. What is the problem mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. The significant lack of recycling. B. The slow progress of the industry. C. The rising price of express delivery. D. The packaging waste in the express industry. 29. How does the author present his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By describing a scene. D. By showing data. 30. What method do some express firms use to save on unnecessary packaging now? A. Use original boxes. B. Use their own boxes. C. Use makers’ boxes. D. Use reused boxes. 31. What is Shen’s attitude towards eco-friendly materials? A. Against. B. Supportive. C. Unsure. D. Doubtful. D Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny. “Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms. 32. Why do the scientists use plants to do the experiment? A. They are common in the daily life. B. They are environmentally responsive. C. They absorb much carbon dioxide gas. D. They are small in size and easy to store. 33 What’s the function of the carbon nano-tubes placed into spinach plants? A. To control the camera. B. To contain the liquid. C. To fix the tiny sensors. D. To give off plant light. 34. What can we say about the application of the experiment? A. It’s diverse. B. It’s unexpected. C. It’s limited. D. It’s cheap. 35. What’s the suitable title for the text? A. Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs B. Spinach Sends Warning Emails Using Nanotech C. Nanotech Helps Spinach Grov Healthily D. Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger 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。 As space exploration develops, it brings lots of benefits, ranging from economy to technology.

Off the field, his life was hard for various reasons. His mother had been ill in bed for several years, and his father recently lost his job, leaving the family even poorer. However, Tom never let his difficult situations reduce his love for football. One day, the coach announced to the players that there would be a football match, and all players were required to wear proper sports uniforms (制服). Tom was worried. He stared at his worn shoes, wondering how he could possibly ask his parents for money they didn’t have. That night, he lay awake, practicing making excuses in his head—maybe he’d pretend to be sick. But deep inside, he knew he couldn’t do that. However, the thought of missing the game and letting his team down troubled him. During a break the next day. Tom just sat alone, staring at the ground, while the others talked excitedly with each other. Jack, the team captain, finally cornered him after practice. “What’s up. Tom? There seems to be something wrong with you.” At first, Tom hesitated, but Jack’s genuine (真诚的) concern broke through his pride. “It’s the uniform,” he said in a low voice. “I can’t afford it.” And more than that, he explained to Jack the difficult situation his family was in. Hearing that, Jack just patted (轻拍) him on the shoulder without saying a word. That day, the team gathered without Tom after practice. “We can’t let this happen,” Jack said. “Tom’s the best player we’ve got; we must do something to help him and his family.” They tried their best to come up with ideas to collect money and decided on a car wash. On Saturday morning, the school parking lot was totally changed. Signs reading “Football for Tom — Wash a Car. Change a Life” were everywhere, and the team worked tirelessly on the cars and shared Tom’s story with anyone who’d listen. By evening, the team had raised more than enough for the uniform. 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。 When Jack gave Tom a new uniform and an envelope the next day, Tom’s eyes widened.__ ______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ The day of the match came, and Tom walked onto the field confidently. _________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 1-5 BCACB 6-10 CACBA 11-15 ABCCB 16-20 ACBAB 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 21-23.

When Jack gave Tom a new uniform and an envelope the next day, Tom’s eyes widened. “We didn’t just get the uniform,” Jack said, explaining there was extra money for his mom’s medicine. Tom felt that his throat tightened. He knew that, in the envelope, there was not just money, but the love of his teammates. “Why are you doing this?” he asked, his voice shaking. “Because we’re a team,” Jack said with a smile. “And teammates take care of each other.” For the first time in months, Tom felt a warm, strong hope—not just for the game, but for the family he had found on the field. The day of the match came, and Tom walked onto the field confidently. Wearing the new uniform, he felt the support from his teammates. The game was intense but full of warmth. Tom and his teammates fought together, and their perfect cooperation and hard work made the ball fly freely on the field. Though the opponents were strong, they never gave up. Finally, with a beautiful teamwork goal, they won the game. After the match, Tom stood with his teammates, looking at the cheering crowd. He realized he was not alone. With the care and help of his teammates, he could overcome any difficulty. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
