Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions.

Nature’s Calendar 22. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 23. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个招募志愿者的环保项目。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Great UK WaterBlitz部分中“To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. (要参与即将到来的活动，只需在earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz网站注册，即可收到更多信息，以及你自己的水质检测工具包。)”可知，The Great UK WaterBlitz项目为参与者配备工具。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Nature’s Calendar部分中“This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. (林地信托基金的这项倡议旨在追踪季节变化和模式，以了解气候变化如何影响我们的生态系统。)”可知，Nature’s Calendar的主要目标是监测气候变化的影响。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Big Butterfly Count部分中“Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. (参与者被要求每天花费 15 分钟，通过他们的网站追踪工具或应用程序来记录自己所看到的蝴蝶。)”、The Great UK WaterBlitz部分中“The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. (下一项活动将于2025年4月25日至28日开展，届时将邀请志愿者记录当地淡水水源的水质情况。)”；The Big Garden Birdwatch部分中“Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. (该活动由英国皇家鸟类保护协会组织，这是全球规模最大的花园野生动物调查活动，每年于一月份开展，活动邀请志愿者报名参与，只需每天花一小时观察自家花园，并记录下所看到的鸟类。)”以及Nature’s Calendar部分中“The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. (这个简单易行的三步流程要求你选定一个物种及其行为表现，确定要记录的区域，并在在线系统中记录下这些行为发生的日期。)”可知，这四个项目的共同之处是它们收集参与者记录的数据。故选C。 B 14-year-old Naya Ellis has a passion for science since childhood, fueled by her desire to make a meaningful impact in medicine. Her devotion can be traced back to age 7, when she tended to her mother battling breast cancer. Now a freshman at New Orleans’ John F. Kennedy High School, she has developed a creative watch for adults — an invention that earned her the title of champion at the well-known National STEM Challenge. Naya’s creativity took flight at STEM NOLA, an initiative that helps K-12 students, particularly those from low-income families, engage in hands-on STEM projects. Drawn by a desire to stay productive, she joined the organization’s eight-month STEM fellowship, unexpectedly starting a life-changing journey. From her participation in STEM Saturday — a platform that encourages inventive activities among students, Naya decided to create a watch for stroke (中风) detection, inspired by her grandmother’s own battle with the illness. Thus, WingItt was born. Using advanced technology, WingItt detects nerve impulses (脉冲) and heartbeats to find early stroke signs before clear symptoms (症状) appear and sends off warnings. Focusing on the elderly — stroke’s most at-risk group, Naya has improved the model to tell stroke signs from other body changes. Moreover, she aims to make it affordable for seniors who cannot afford pricey devices like iPhones or Apple Watches. With hopes to create change while pursuing her interests, Naya’s story shows STEM education’s life-changing power. Chosen as one of 126 top students nationwide in the National STEM Challenge, she will present her invention WingItt at the coming Washington, D.C. festival, an honor from the U.S. Department of Education. As she starts her freshman year, Naya hopes to go beyond the world of invention; her ambitions also include excelling in softball, getting a college scholarship, and finally, realizing her dream of becoming an obstetrician-gynecologist — a symbol of hope and strength for women all over the world. 24. Where does Naya’s inspiration for WingItt come from? A. Her family’s health struggle. B. The initiator’s encouragement. C. The experience in STEM Saturday. D. Her strong interest in science. 25. What does the text say about WingItt? A. It can connect to other devices. B. It focuses on serious symptoms. C. It allows for preventive measures. D. It balances nerve impulses and heartbeats. 26. What can we know about Naya? A. She aims to gain wide academic recognition. B. She has a strong sense of social responsibility. C. She has received a scholarship for the invention. D. She regards her failures as valuable wealth in life. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. A teen’s award-winning invention. B. The influence of STEM education. C. A young girl’s pursuit of knowledge. D. A new technology for monitoring health. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了14岁女孩Naya Ellis从小热爱科学，受家人患病经历启发，研发出用于中风早期检测并能发送警报的手表WingItt，并凭借该发明在全国STEM挑战赛中夺冠、获得前往华盛顿展示发明的机会，同时介绍了她的成长背景、发明过程以及未来志向。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From her participation in STEM Saturday — a platform that encourages inventive activities among students, Naya decided to create a watch for stroke (中风) detection, inspired by her grandmother’s own battle with the illness.

A new study shows microplastics — small plastic pieces under 5 mm — are quickly covered by harmful bacteria. This turns small plastic pieces, wrappers and bottles on the beach into vehicles for carrying diseases. Microplastics now cover every part of the earth. They are in plastic products and in the air we breathe. More than 125 trillion pieces float in the ocean, and more are found in rivers, soils, animals, and even the human body. But scientists claim that the danger is not just the plastic itself: it’s the Plastisphere — the thin layer of bacteria that grow on each small piece. A team led by Dr. Emily Stevenson from Plymouth Marine Laboratory & University of Exeter published a new study. They found microplastics in real natural environments — from hospital wastewater to coastal waters — carry bacteria during their whole journey. To verify their theory, they carried out an experiment and tested five materials: bio-beads, nurdles, polystyrene, wood, and glass. They placed them along a river flowing from highly polluted areas to the sea. After two months, gene tests showed: All plastics, in all places, had pathogens and drug-resistant (耐药的) bacteria. Each microplastic can work as a small, moving dish for growing germs (细菌). It carried super-bacteria from hospital wastewater to beaches, swimming areas and shellfish-growing sites. “This study shows the risk of disease and drug-resistant germs from microplastics in our oceans and coasts,” said Dr. Stevenson. “We strongly advise volunteers to wear gloves during beach cleanups and wash hands later.” As microplastics continue to increase around the world, researchers warn that the Plastisphere could make the spread of super-bacteria worse. The study calls for better waste management, closer watch on microplastic paths, quick cuts in plastic waste and unified plans across wastewater, healthcare, and ocean policy. 28. What is a feature of microplastics? A. They build up in a specific area. B. They are invisible and hard to break down. C. They vary in size ranging from 5 mm upwards. D. They present a greater threat than previously thought. 29. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Promote. B. Release. C. Propose. D. Prove. 30. What is a finding of the experiment? A. Different bacteria react to plastics differently. B. Super-bacteria display a strong preference for glass. C. Certain germs make microplastics their living ground. D. Drug-resistant bacteria mainly collect in polluted rivers. 31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. The solution lies in reducing plastic use. B. People should avoid touching microplastics directly. C. Super-bacteria will be more common in the near future. D. Volunteers should arrange their beach cleanups regularly. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了微塑料在自然环境中会携带有害细菌和超级细菌，对海洋、海岸及人类健康构成威胁，并阐述了相关研究发现与应对建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“But scientists claim that the danger is not just the plastic itself; it’s the Plastisphere — the thin layer of bacteria that grow on each small piece.(但科学家们指出，危险并不仅仅在于塑料本身；还有“塑料群落”——即附着在每一块塑料上的那层细菌薄层)”可知，微塑料的危害不只是塑料本身，还有其表面附着的细菌层，说明它的威胁比人们之前认为的更大。故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段的“To verify their theory, they carried out an experiment and tested five materials: bio-beads, nurdles, polystyrene, wood, and glass.(为了verify，他们进行了一个实验，并对五种材料进行了测试：生物珠、塑料颗粒、聚苯乙烯、木材和玻璃)”以及下文的实验过程和结果可知，科学家做实验是为了证实他们的理论，由此推断，verify意为“证明；证实”，与prove意思相近。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Each microplastic can work as a small, moving dish for growing germs (细菌).(每一块微塑料都可以充当一个小型且可移动的容器，为细菌的生长提供条件)”可知，微塑料可以作为细菌生长的载体，即，某些细菌把微塑料当作生存场所。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的“We strongly advise volunteers to wear gloves during beach cleanups and wash hands later.(我们强烈建议志愿者在海滩清理活动中佩戴手套，并在之后洗手)”可推断，人们应该避免直接接触微塑料，以降低感染风险。故选B。 D In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. 32. What problem does the digital age present in learning? A. Too much information. B. Learning to inaction. C. Online distractions. D. Technical issues. 33. Why is practical experience important in the learning process? A. It replaces continuous learning. B. It is irrelevant in gaining knowledge. C. It holds back theoretical understanding. D. It offers a comprehensive understanding. 34. The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________. A. compare different learning styles B. show the importance of making mistakes C. emphasize the need for parental guidance D. explain learning through action and experience 35. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Paradox of Information Overload B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing C. The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D. The Process of Learning to Walk 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】在数字时代，过量的信息会造成学习停滞的问题，因此，在学习过程中，实践经验能帮助我们更全面的理解学习的知识，从而实现目标。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. (在当今这个数字化时代，海量的信息只需轻轻一点便触手可及。于是问题便产生了：一个人能学得太多吗？要知道，没有人能够掌握人类全部的知识。然而，有一种现象是，过度学习可能会导致无所作为，即被过多的信息所淹没的状态。)”可知，数字时代给学习提供了太多的信息。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是将学习与实践相结合。先收集必要的信息，然后迅速采取行动，即便你感觉有些准备不足也没关系。这种方式往往是最好的学习方式，因为实际操作的经验能带来理论知识所无法提供的见解。)”可知，在学习过程中，实际经验是重要的，因为它可以通过实践帮助理解信息，提供一个全面的理解。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared.

(实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是将学习与实践相结合。先收集必要的信息，然后迅速采取行动，即便你感觉有些准备不足也没关系。这种方式往往是最好的学习方式，因为实际操作的经验能带来理论知识所无法提供的见解。)”和倒数第二段“A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. (婴儿并非通过静坐思考来学会走路的。相反，它是通过尝试走路、摔倒，然后从每次摔倒中了解哪些方法有效、哪些无效来学习的。通过不断努力，最终能够掌握走路的技能。这种方法同样适用于目标的实现。通过采取行动、从结果中学习并相应地调整，你会逐渐朝着目标迈进。)”可知，通过“婴儿学习走路”的例子可以解释通过行动和经验来学习这个观点。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. (总之，追求知识固然重要，但切不可让它成为行动的阻碍。学习应当是迈向行动的垫脚石，而非目的本身。正是通过知识的积累与应用之间的相互作用，我们才能真正朝着自己的目标迈进。这种平衡的方法对于克服过度学习带来的停滞状态，并积极地朝着实现目标的方向前进至关重要。)”可知，本文介绍在学习过程中，应将信息和实践相结合，这样能更好地实现目标。B选项“学与做的和谐”与本文主旨相符，适合作标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Urban areas around the world are facing a growing issue: the rise of stray (流浪) animals, including cats and dogs. These animals often struggle to find food and shelter. ____36____ However, with the right strategies, communities can turn the tide and create a safer environment for both humans and stray animals. One effective step is to establish community feeding stations. These stations should be placed in quiet, low-traffic areas to avoid disturbing residents. ____37____ By providing consistent food sources, communities can reduce the number of stray animals wandering the streets in search of meals. Another key measure is to promote trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. ____38____ TNR involves trapping (诱捕) strays, having them neutered (绝育) by a veterinarian, and then returning them to their original location. This not only controls the stray population over time but also helps keep healthy animals in their familiar habitats, where they are less likely to become aggressive. ____39____ Many people want stray animals to be removed from their neighborhoods immediately. Many people abandon pets because they do not understand the responsibility of pet ownership. Local organizations can host workshops on pet care and raise awareness about the consequences of abandoning animals. When residents understand the issues, they are more likely to support protection efforts. Finally, building partnerships between local governments, animal shelters, and community members is essential. Without such partnerships, individual efforts to protect stray animals often fail to make a long-term difference. Shelters can provide the resources for TNR programs, while volunteers can help monitor feeding stations. ____40____ A. With these efforts, the issues will no longer exist. B. Take residents’ concerns into consideration is important. C. They are designed to control the stray animal population. D. Governments can pass laws that ban animal abandonment. E. They can also threaten public health if not properly managed. F. Education also plays a crucial role in stray animal protection. G. They should also be regularly cleaned to prevent the spread of disease. 【答案】36. E 37. G 38. C 39. F 40.

And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 21. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 22. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C.

They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. B 14-year-old Naya Ellis has a passion for science since childhood, fueled by her desire to make a meaningful impact in medicine. Her devotion can be traced back to age 7, when she tended to her mother battling breast cancer. Now a freshman at New Orleans’ John F. Kennedy High School, she has developed a creative watch for adults — an invention that earned her the title of champion at the well-known National STEM Challenge. Naya’s creativity took flight at STEM NOLA, an initiative that helps K-12 students, particularly those from low-income families, engage in hands-on STEM projects. Drawn by a desire to stay productive, she joined the organization’s eight-month STEM fellowship, unexpectedly starting a life-changing journey. From her participation in STEM Saturday — a platform that encourages inventive activities among students, Naya decided to create a watch for stroke (中风) detection, inspired by her grandmother’s own battle with the illness. Thus, WingItt was born. Using advanced technology, WingItt detects nerve impulses (脉冲) and heartbeats to find early stroke signs before clear symptoms (症状) appear and sends off warnings. Focusing on the elderly — stroke’s most at-risk group, Naya has improved the model to tell stroke signs from other body changes. Moreover, she aims to make it affordable for seniors who cannot afford pricey devices like iPhones or Apple Watches. With hopes to create change while pursuing her interests, Naya’s story shows STEM education’s life-changing power. Chosen as one of 126 top students nationwide in the National STEM Challenge, she will present her invention WingItt at the coming Washington, D.C. festival, an honor from the U.S. Department of Education. As she starts her freshman year, Naya hopes to go beyond the world of invention; her ambitions also include excelling in softball, getting a college scholarship, and finally, realizing her dream of becoming an obstetrician-gynecologist — a symbol of hope and strength for women all over the world. 24. Where does Naya’s inspiration for WingItt come from? A. Her family’s health struggle. B. The initiator’s encouragement. C. The experience in STEM Saturday. D. Her strong interest in science. 25. What does the text say about WingItt? A. It can connect to other devices. B. It focuses on serious symptoms. C. It allows for preventive measures. D. It balances nerve impulses and heartbeats. 26. What can we know about Naya? A. She aims to gain wide academic recognition. B. She has a strong sense of social responsibility. C. She has received a scholarship for the invention. D. She regards her failures as valuable wealth in life. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. A teen’s award-winning invention. B. The influence of STEM education. C. A young girl’s pursuit of knowledge. D. A new technology for monitoring health. C If you’ve ever picked up plastic while cleaning a beach, you may have held more than waste in your hands. A new study shows microplastics — small plastic pieces under 5 mm — are quickly covered by harmful bacteria. This turns small plastic pieces, wrappers and bottles on the beach into vehicles for carrying diseases. Microplastics now cover every part of the earth. They are in plastic products and in the air we breathe. More than 125 trillion pieces float in the ocean, and more are found in rivers, soils, animals, and even the human body. But scientists claim that the danger is not just the plastic itself: it’s the Plastisphere — the thin layer of bacteria that grow on each small piece. A team led by Dr. Emily Stevenson from Plymouth Marine Laboratory & University of Exeter published a new study. They found microplastics in real natural environments — from hospital wastewater to coastal waters — carry bacteria during their whole journey. To verify their theory, they carried out an experiment and tested five materials: bio-beads, nurdles, polystyrene, wood, and glass. They placed them along a river flowing from highly polluted areas to the sea. After two months, gene tests showed: All plastics, in all places, had pathogens and drug-resistant (耐药的) bacteria. Each microplastic can work as a small, moving dish for growing germs (细菌). It carried super-bacteria from hospital wastewater to beaches, swimming areas and shellfish-growing sites. “This study shows the risk of disease and drug-resistant germs from microplastics in our oceans and coasts,” said Dr. Stevenson. “We strongly advise volunteers to wear gloves during beach cleanups and wash hands later.” As microplastics continue to increase around the world, researchers warn that the Plastisphere could make the spread of super-bacteria worse. The study calls for better waste management, closer watch on microplastic paths, quick cuts in plastic waste and unified plans across wastewater, healthcare, and ocean policy. 28. What is a feature of microplastics? A. They build up in a specific area. B. They are invisible and hard to break down. C. They vary in size ranging from 5 mm upwards. D. They present a greater threat than previously thought. 29. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Promote. B. Release. C. Propose. D. Prove. 30. What is a finding of the experiment? A. Different bacteria react to plastics differently. B. Super-bacteria display a strong preference for glass. C. Certain germs make microplastics their living ground. D. Drug-resistant bacteria mainly collect in polluted rivers. 31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. The solution lies in reducing plastic use. B. People should avoid touching microplastics directly. C. Super-bacteria will be more common in the near future. D. Volunteers should arrange their beach cleanups regularly. D In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. 32. What problem does the digital age present in learning? A. Too much information. B. Learning to inaction. C. Online distractions. D. Technical issues. 33. Why is practical experience important in the learning process? A. It replaces continuous learning. B.

These animals often struggle to find food and shelter. ____36____ However, with the right strategies, communities can turn the tide and create a safer environment for both humans and stray animals. One effective step is to establish community feeding stations. These stations should be placed in quiet, low-traffic areas to avoid disturbing residents. ____37____ By providing consistent food sources, communities can reduce the number of stray animals wandering the streets in search of meals. Another key measure is to promote trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. ____38____ TNR involves trapping (诱捕) strays, having them neutered (绝育) by a veterinarian, and then returning them to their original location. This not only controls the stray population over time but also helps keep healthy animals in their familiar habitats, where they are less likely to become aggressive. ____39____ Many people want stray animals to be removed from their neighborhoods immediately. Many people abandon pets because they do not understand the responsibility of pet ownership. Local organizations can host workshops on pet care and raise awareness about the consequences of abandoning animals. When residents understand the issues, they are more likely to support protection efforts. Finally, building partnerships between local governments, animal shelters, and community members is essential. Without such partnerships, individual efforts to protect stray animals often fail to make a long-term difference. Shelters can provide the resources for TNR programs, while volunteers can help monitor feeding stations. ____40____ A. With these efforts, the issues will no longer exist. B. Take residents’ concerns into consideration is important. C. They are designed to control the stray animal population. D. Governments can pass laws that ban animal abandonment. E. They can also threaten public health if not properly managed. F. Education also plays a crucial role in stray animal protection. G. They should also be regularly cleaned to prevent the spread of disease. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共五节，满分70分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)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。 It was hard to say goodbye to the old oak tree in our backyard.
