Linh Mai was born on February 2 to her mother,Nhi Linh,marking an important moment for the zoo.She is the first elephant calf born there in ncarly 25 years,making her arrival especially meaningful for both the animal care team and protection work. And her birth carries even greater significance beyond the zoo.With fewer than 50,000 Asian elephants remaining in the wild,each new calf represents hope for the future of the species-and a reminder of how important protection work truly is. As Linh Mai continues to grow,the team caring for her is already seeing her personality(性格)come to life,. "This past week on April 2,our Asian elephant calf Linh Mai turned two months old.It's a major milestone for her and for our team,who have been caring for her around the clock and ensuring she has everything she needs to thrive,"the zoo shared They added,"One of the most meaningful parts of caring for elephants is getting to know their personalities.While Linh Mai is still young,parts of her personality are beginning to shine through.I can say with confidence that she is rambunctious,sassy and playful.” With her big personality and even bigger significance,Linh Mai is already making a lasting impression,and her journey is just getting started. 8.What does the underlined sentence "a tiny new life is already making a big splash" mean?

D Carbon dioxide (CO2)is widely known as a harmful greenhouse gas.Rising COz levels from burning fossil fuels(化石燃料)lead to global warming,polar ice melting and frequent extreme weather.But scientists now regard it as a valuable potential ( resource.Such a dual role makes CO2 a key focus of global climate action. To address this,the world is changing its idea:not only cut COz emissions () but also make full use of it.This perfectly matches China's"dual carbon"goalsreaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.Turning COz into daily useful products has become an important way of long-term development. Nature can convert COz through plant photosynthesis(光合作用).However,this natural way has clear limits.The Calvin cycle in plants often wrongly binds O and wastes a lot of energy,so its efficiency (is quite low.For this reason,scientists are trying to create better man-made methods. So far,great progress has been made worldwide.In 2016,German scientists created the CETCH cycle,far more efficient than the Calvin cycle.Later,the POAP cycle and THETA cycle showed faster,controllable CO2 conversion. China has also achieved major achievements.In 2021,Chinese scientists successfully made starch from CO without any plants.In 2025,a factory in Inner Mongolia started producing yeast protein with CO,which helps save farmland. 英语试题第5页（共10页） Besides,COa is further turned into biodegradable plastics and clean biofuels.These technological developments will reshape industrial production,reduce carbon waste and build a circular economy.They show clearly that human science can turn a climate threat into a powerful tool for a greener future. 12.Choose the correct information according to Paragraph 1. A.People have realized all the harms COz brings. B.People have widely made use of COz at present. C.More CO2 from fossil fuels causes environmental problems. l3.The underlined word“address'”in Paragraph2 most probably means“ A.deal with B.write down C.depend on 14.Why does the writer mention the CETCH cycle,POAP cycle and THETA cycle? A.To explain how plant photosynthesis works. B.To show these methods are better than the natural one. C.To show China has made great achievements in COz use. 15.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The harm of carbon dioxide to the environment. B.Different cycles used in plant photosynthesis. C.New progress and ways to make good use of CO2. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you come back to your home on a hot summer night,you find that the lights are already on,the air conditioner has been working for 30 minutes to cool the room,and the rice you prepared this morning has been cooked just before you arrive....16A smart home is a home where users can remotely control devices (from anywhere with an internet connection using a mobile phone or other networked devices.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused(困惑a的)with each other,Scientific American reported. We use different parts of our body to sense movement.Our eyes tell us if we are moving.The inner ears (contain a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance.Our muscles react to movement. When you move around,these body parts work well together.But when you are in a car or an airplane,they get confused.Your inner ear signals that you are moving,but your eyes say you are not because you can not see your movement.This mismatch gives us motion sickness. But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness.This may be because they have certain genes (that prevent mismatching senses,Bethann Hromatka,a genetics 英语试题第9页（共10页） expert from the US,told the Atlantic. Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness,scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it.For example,some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness.After a week or two,the astronauts don't feel uncomfortable anymore,Sam Puma,a NASA flight doctor,told the BBC. 4l.What other names does motion sickness have?(限8个词以内) 42.What parts of our body help us sense movement?(限8个词以内) 4 43.Fill in the blank with only one proper word. 44.Explain the underlined phrase in simple English. 45.What's the best title of the passage??(限8个词以内) 第二节（满分20分） 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom想了解你校在体育锻炼和课间休息方面的新调整， 请你给他写一封回信，内容要点如下： 1.介绍学校每天安排两小时体育锻炼、课间休息延长至15分钟的新安排； 2.陈述同学们对此举措的不同看法； 特二 3.谈谈你自已的观点并说明理由。 注意： ， 1,词数100词左右，开头已给出，不计人总词数。 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯、语句通顺； 3.不得出现真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 1a,人手》219 11u99i,3 1净0之为：.与 英语试题，第10页（共10页）
