A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一则城市观光巴士的宣传海报，介绍了覆盖全市景点的两条观光线路、运营时间、票价及购票优惠等信息。 【1题详解】 文中“OPENING HOURS”部分指出，High Season（April to September）: 9:00—22:00 every day，Low Season（October to March）: 9:00—19:00 every day，只有6月属于旺季，运营到22:00，因此20:10可以乘车。 【2题详解】 根据票价规则，Line B每人$20，两人共$40；两只宠物半价票，每只$10，共$20；总价$60，网上购票可省10%，$60×(1-10%)=$54，因此他们需要支付$54。 【3题详解】 这是一则城市观光巴士的宣传海报，介绍了城市景点与游览信息，这类内容最可能出现在城市指南中，而不是故事书或科学杂志。 B One warm August night, Andrew and his younger sister Linda had the house all to themselves while their parents were at the cinema. After dinner, they went back to their rooms, not realizing the half-open living room window inviting more than just the summer wind. Soon, a silent invasion began. Lots of moths (飞蛾), drawn like tiny stars to the living room lamp, flew through the window. They danced around the light until their shadows (影子) became what looked like a dark cloud. The peace was broken when Linda wandered into the living room to get her favorite teddy bear. Looking up, her eyes widened in alarm. For a heartbeat she stood frozen, then rushed to Andrew’s room, bursting through the door. “Andrew, help! There’s a living cloud in the living room!” Her frightened voice stirred the moths into wild movement. Andrew followed her back and immediately understood. “Don’t fear, Linda — they’re just moths,” he said gently, recalling his biology lessons. “They’re not here to hurt us; the light simply called them in.” Peeking from behind her brother, Linda said anxiously, “But what can we do? There are so many!” “Watch this,” Andrew said with a confident smile. He strode into the living room, pushed the window fully open, and then turned off every light. Darkness swallowed the room, leaving only the gentle glow from the streetlights outside coming through the window. They waited in the hallway. Slowly, the moths fluttered toward the open window, one after another, until all had disappeared into the calm night. Linda clapped excitedly. “You did it! How?” “Moths follow the brightest light,” Andrew explained, sounding like a proud young scientist. “When our lights went out, they flew toward the moon and streetlights instead.” “My moth-hero!” Linda cheered, wrapping her brother in a grateful hug. And before heading to bed, Andrew made sure to close the window — this time, all the way. 4. Why did the moths come into the house? A. The window was half open all the time. B. The indoor light drew them inside. C. They looked for warm summer wind. 5. How did Linda feel when she first saw the moths? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Surprised. 6. Where did all the moths go in the end? A. They hid in the living room. B. They flew out of the window. C. They flew into the children’s rooms. 7. What kind of brother is Andrew? A. Calm and smart. B. Nervous and shy. C. Careless and forgetful. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了安德鲁和妹妹独自在家时，飞蛾被灯光吸引涌入屋内，安德鲁沉着运用生物知识，顺利赶走飞蛾的暖心小故事。 【4题详解】 根据第二段中“Lots of moths..., drawn like tiny stars to the living room lamp, flew through the window.”以及第四段安德鲁说的“the light simply called them in”可知，飞蛾进屋是因为被室内的灯光吸引。 【5题详解】 根据第三段中“her eyes widened in alarm”、“stood frozen”以及“Her frightened voice”可知，琳达第一次看到飞蛾时感到非常害怕。 【6题详解】 根据第八段中“Slowly, the moths fluttered toward the open window, one after another, until all had disappeared into the calm night.”可知，飞蛾最终飞出了窗户。 【7题详解】 纵观全文，面对妹妹的惊慌，安德鲁温柔地安慰她；他利用生物课知识制定方案（开窗、关灯）；最后还细心地关好了窗户。这些行为表明他遇事冷静且聪明。 C After nearly two years of expectation, a tiny new life is already making a big splash and giving people around the world a reason to smile. At Smithsonian’s National Zoo, a baby Asian elephant named Linh Mai is winning hearts ahead of her first public appearance on April 22．In a new video shared with TODAY, the playful calf can be seen enjoying a bubble（泡沫）bath, one of many milestones in her first few months of life. 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 nearly 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? A. The baby elephant likes playing in water very much. B. The young elephant brings wide public attention. C. The new life needs much care from the zoo keepers. 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Linh Mai will meet the public on April 22． B. The baby elephant is already three months old. C. People know her full personality clearly now. 10. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________. A. Linh Mai likes playing with bubbles very much B. Linh Mai’s birth is a special event for the zoo C. The zoo can protect all kinds of wild animals well 11. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A. To advise people to visit the baby elephant. B. To introduce Linh Mai and call for elephant protection. C. To teach people living habits of Asian elephants. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国史密森尼国家动物园新出生的亚洲象幼崽Linh Mai，她将于4月22日首次公开亮相。她的出生是该动物园近25年来的第一头象宝宝，对物种保护具有重要意义。 【8题详解】  “make a big splash” 是英语习语，意为“引起轰动、广受关注”。结合上下文，这只小象的出生让人们微笑，并受到媒体关注，因此B正确。 【9题详解】 第一段明确说“first public appearance on April 22”，因此A正确。 【10题详解】 第三段指出“She is the first elephant calf born there in nearly 25 years”，因此对动物园意义非凡，B正确。 【11题详解】 文章不仅介绍小象，还强调亚洲象数量不足5万头，每个新生象宝宝代表希望，提醒保护工作的重要性，因此目的是介绍并呼吁保护。 D Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely known as a harmful greenhouse gas. Rising CO2 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 (潜在的) 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 CO2 emissions (排放), but also make full use of it. This perfectly matches China’s “dual carbon” goals—reaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Turning CO2 into daily useful products has become an important way of long-term development. Nature can convert CO2 through plant photosynthesis (光合作用). However, this natural way has clear limits. The Calvin cycle in plants often wrongly binds O2 and wastes a lot of energy, so its efficiency (效率) 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 CO2 without any plants. In 2025, a factory in Inner Mongolia started producing yeast protein with CO2, which helps save farmland. Besides, CO2 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 CO2 brings. B. People have widely made use of CO2 at present. C. More CO2 from fossil fuels causes environmental problems. 13. The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 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 CO2 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． 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍二氧化碳兼具温室危害与可利用资源双重属性，围绕双碳目标，对比自然固碳局限，介绍多国人工转化二氧化碳的技术突破，阐述将二氧化碳资源化利用的价值与意义。 【12题详解】 第一段第二句“Rising CO2 levels from burning fossil fuels lead to global warming, polar ice melting and frequent extreme weather.”说明燃烧化石燃料产生的上升的二氧化碳水平导致了全球变暖等环境问题。 【13题详解】 第二段“To address this, the world is changing its idea: not only cut CO2 emissions, but also make full use of it.”中“this”指代第一段提到的二氧化碳带来的危害。为了“应对/解决”这个问题，世界正在改变理念。因此“address”在此处意为“处理、解决”，与“deal with”同义。 【14题详解】 第三段末尾提到自然光合作用效率低，科学家试图创造更好的人造方法。第四段紧接着列举CETCH、POAP和THETA循环，旨在展示这些人造方法比自然方法更高效、进步更大。 【15题详解】 文章首段引出二氧化碳的双重角色，随后段落详细介绍了全球及中国在将二氧化碳转化为有用产品方面的科学进展、新方法及其意义。C选项“New progress and ways to make good use of CO2”最能概括全文主旨。 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. … ____16____ A smart home is a home where users can remotely control devices (设备) from anywhere with an internet connection using a mobile phone or other networked devices.

But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症). Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning. It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each other, Scientific American reported. We use different parts of our bodies to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears (内耳) 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’t 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 (基因) that prevent mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics 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. 41. 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) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 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) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. Travel sickness, carsickness and seasickness. 42. Our eyes, inner ears and muscles. 43. moving 44. get used to/become used to 45. Motion Sickness/Why Do We Get Motion Sickness 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了晕动症的其他名称、产生的原因以及应对方法。 【41题详解】 第2段“Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness.”说明晕动症的其他名称是旅行晕眩、晕车或晕船，直接提取信息。 【42题详解】 第4段“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.”说明帮助我们感知运动的身体部位是眼睛、内耳和肌肉，直接提取信息。 【43题详解】 第5段“Your inner ear signals that you are moving, but your eyes say you are not…because you can’t see your movement.”说明你的内耳表示你在移动，后用but转折表示眼睛认为你没有在移动，应填“moving”。 【44题详解】 第7段“Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it.”以及后文提到宇航员经过训练后不再感到不适，可推知结论划线词组“adapt to”意为“适应”，可以用“get used to/become used to”来解释。 【45题详解】 第1段“But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness.”以及全文内容可推知结论文章主要围绕“晕动症”展开，介绍了其名称、成因及应对方法，最合适的标题是“Motion sickness/Why Do We Get Motion Sickness”。 第二节（满分20分） 46. 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； 3．谈谈你自己的观点并说明理由。 注意： 1．词数100词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 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。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dear Tom, I’m glad to receive your letter. Our school has new rules for our study and health. We now have two hours of sports daily to build up our bodies. Our class break is extended to 15 minutes.

A. in a city guidebook B. in a storybook C. in a science magazine B One warm August night, Andrew and his younger sister Linda had the house all to themselves while their parents were at the cinema. After dinner, they went back to their rooms, not realizing the half-open living room window inviting more than just the summer wind. Soon, a silent invasion began. Lots of moths (飞蛾), drawn like tiny stars to the living room lamp, flew through the window. They danced around the light until their shadows (影子) became what looked like a dark cloud. The peace was broken when Linda wandered into the living room to get her favorite teddy bear. Looking up, her eyes widened in alarm. For a heartbeat she stood frozen, then rushed to Andrew’s room, bursting through the door. “Andrew, help! There’s a living cloud in the living room!” Her frightened voice stirred the moths into wild movement. Andrew followed her back and immediately understood. “Don’t fear, Linda — they’re just moths,” he said gently, recalling his biology lessons. “They’re not here to hurt us; the light simply called them in.” Peeking from behind her brother, Linda said anxiously, “But what can we do? There are so many!” “Watch this,” Andrew said with a confident smile. He strode into the living room, pushed the window fully open, and then turned off every light. Darkness swallowed the room, leaving only the gentle glow from the streetlights outside coming through the window. They waited in the hallway. Slowly, the moths fluttered toward the open window, one after another, until all had disappeared into the calm night. Linda clapped excitedly. “You did it! How?” “Moths follow the brightest light,” Andrew explained, sounding like a proud young scientist. “When our lights went out, they flew toward the moon and streetlights instead.” “My moth-hero!” Linda cheered, wrapping her brother in a grateful hug. And before heading to bed, Andrew made sure to close the window — this time, all the way. 4. Why did the moths come into the house? A. The window was half open all the time. B. The indoor light drew them inside. C. They looked for warm summer wind. 5. How did Linda feel when she first saw the moths? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Surprised. 6. Where did all the moths go in the end? A. They hid in the living room. B. They flew out of the window. C. They flew into the children’s rooms. 7. What kind of brother is Andrew? A. Calm and smart. B. Nervous and shy. C. Careless and forgetful. C After nearly two years of expectation, a tiny new life is already making a big splash and giving people around the world a reason to smile. At Smithsonian’s National Zoo, a baby Asian elephant named Linh Mai is winning hearts ahead of her first public appearance on April 22．In a new video shared with TODAY, the playful calf can be seen enjoying a bubble（泡沫）bath, one of many milestones in her first few months of life. 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 nearly 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? A. The baby elephant likes playing in water very much. B. The young elephant brings wide public attention. C. The new life needs much care from the zoo keepers. 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Linh Mai will meet the public on April 22． B. The baby elephant is already three months old. C. People know her full personality clearly now. 10. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________. A. Linh Mai likes playing with bubbles very much B. Linh Mai’s birth is a special event for the zoo C. The zoo can protect all kinds of wild animals well 11. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A. To advise people to visit the baby elephant. B. To introduce Linh Mai and call for elephant protection. C. To teach people living habits of Asian elephants. D Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely known as a harmful greenhouse gas. Rising CO2 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 (潜在的) 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 CO2 emissions (排放), but also make full use of it. This perfectly matches China’s “dual carbon” goals—reaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Turning CO2 into daily useful products has become an important way of long-term development. Nature can convert CO2 through plant photosynthesis (光合作用). However, this natural way has clear limits. The Calvin cycle in plants often wrongly binds O2 and wastes a lot of energy, so its efficiency (效率) 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 CO2 without any plants. In 2025, a factory in Inner Mongolia started producing yeast protein with CO2, which helps save farmland. Besides, CO2 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 CO2 brings. B. People have widely made use of CO2 at present. C. More CO2 from fossil fuels causes environmental problems. 13. The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 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 CO2 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. … ____16____ A smart home is a home where users can remotely control devices (设备) from anywhere with an internet connection using a mobile phone or other networked devices.

But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症). Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning. It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each other, Scientific American reported. We use different parts of our bodies to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears (内耳) 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’t 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 (基因) that prevent mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics 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. 41. What other names does motion sickness have?
