第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Australian Pine
A perfect “living decoration” to add in your house, it is good to look at and has a comforting feel. It can also serve as the perfect Christmas tree. It grows around 10 feet tall indoors. Remember that it requires plenty of light and fresh air. Otherwise, it becomes weak and an easy target for mites (螨虫).
Dracaena
The green and yellow pattern on its leaves looks great. It can grow to be around 10 feet tall. Just make sure you keep the soil surface dry between your watering periods because it gets influenced by too much water. Also, having this plant around a dog can be dangerous. It can be poisonous to dogs if they eat it.
Grape Ivy
If you want something off the ceiling (天花板), this houseplant is the one for you. It’s a climbing plant, and it will make for a beautiful hanging basket decoration. The plant is full of life wherever it is hung. It needs to be kept wet in all its parts for good growth.
Peperomia
It is little in size, with long leaves. It adds energy to your living room and creates a comforting environment. As it’s not a very tall plant, you needn’t worry about how much space it will take up. The plant likes a dry surface of the soil.
A houseplant is pretty to look at and brings fresh air to your home. Besides, looking after a plant will give you something more to do and care about. Let’s look at the four best houseplants you can grow.
So what are you waiting for? Choose the one that attracts you most, and give your home a wonderful addition.
1. Which of the following can serve as a Christmas tree?
A. Grape ivy. B. Dracaena. C. Australian pine. D. Peperomia.
2. When keeping Dracaena as a houseplant, you should ________.
A. be careful with mites B. keep dogs away from it
C. hang it from the ceiling D. leave the surface of the soil wet

B
About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.
4. What do we know about Steward’s current job?
A. He runs an animal shelter.
B. He adopts abandoned pets.
C. He works for a science program.
D. He attends to homeless people's pets.
5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned?
A. To explain his change of career focus.
B. To illustrate his professional competence.
C. To explore the future of the industry.
D. To reflect the challenges of the profession,
6. What do many people think of Steward?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful.
7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for.
C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了斯图尔特在大学毕业后成为一名兽医,后来因为工作原因,他开始为流浪人群的宠物提供治疗,并获得了很大的反响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次,兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视,为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知,斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃,工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后,斯图尔特说他感到内疚,准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上,在他上班的路上,他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况,这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说:“谢谢你没有忽视我,还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物,并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后,他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所,当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时,他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知,文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历,因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧,几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗,给狗治疗后,斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物,开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.( 斯图尔特服务的许多人不仅感激他的帮助,而且还与他建立了深厚的联系,认为他不仅善待他们的宠物,而且承认他们的人性。)”可推知,斯图尔特不仅治疗宠物还尊重无家可归者,可见人们认为他仁慈善良。故选D项。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’ m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.( 现在,他正在建立一个由值得信赖的志愿者、医院和诊所的技术人员组成的网络。“这些人都愿意提供提援助,说,‘我被你所做的事情所鼓舞。我该怎么做呢?’”他说。)”可知,很多人受斯图尔特启发,询问如何做,说明他希望人们效仿他的做法。“emulate”意思是 “效仿,模仿”,和A选项Follow the example of“效仿”意思相近。 故选A项。
C
For many of us, our closest meeting with wild animals is at a zoo. These places allow us to observe the behaviours and characteristics of amazing creatures. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for the animals? A long time ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later, live animals were caught by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in zoos — animal protection was not a priority. But modern zoos and wildlife parks have transformed the conditions and environments for animals, making bigger enclosures (围场), removing bars, and, to some extent, copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals and using them just for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show they are here to help wildlife by educating us about protection. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes.
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help to protect species that are under threat in the wild due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Protection at Salford University says: “We wouldn’t have a lot of different species today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have breeding (繁殖) programmes which help to preserve the future of species. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its protection work. It brought a rare fish species back from the dead after breeding and releasing a school of golden fish back into their native river.
While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, such as using virtual reality, and Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a group of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.”
8. What can be inferred from paragraph one?
A. The conditions for animals are improving.
B. People used to kill animals for entertainment.
C. Museums have led to the popularity of wildlife.
D. Animal protection has always been the biggest concern.
9. The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 is mentioned to ________.
A. prove it is cruel to keep animals in zoos
B. show zoos are making efforts to protect wildlife
C. question whether it is useful to educate the public
D. express not all the zoos are well managed
10. Why are some species in danger according to paragraph 3?
A. Because of little resources. B. Because of heavy pollution.
C. Because of climate change. D. Because of illegal hunting.
11. What is Jon Coe’s attitude towards meeting wildlife in the future?
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Unknown. D. Hopeful.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了是否应该开设动物园这一问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But modern zoos and wildlife parks have transformed the conditions and environments for animals, making bigger enclosures (围场), removing bars, and, to some extent, copying their natural habitats.(但现代动物园和野生动物园已经改变了动物的生存条件和环境,建造了更大的围场,拆除了栅栏,并在一定程度上复制了它们的自然栖息地)”可知,动物园里动物的生存环境在不断改善。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中“but zoos are keen to show they are here to help wildlife by educating us about protection(但动物园热衷于通过教育我们保护野生动物来表明它们是来帮助野生动物的)”提到动物园热衷于通过教育我们保护野生动物来表明它们是来帮助野生动物的,接着下文“In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public.(在英国,《1981年动物园许可证法案》的出台也要求动物园对公众进行教育)”举例证实上文说法,故文章提及《1981年动物园许可证法案》是为了说明动物园在努力保护动物,故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help to protect species that are under threat in the wild due to climate change.(也许今天动物园最大的主张是,它们有助于保护由于气候变化而在野外受到威胁的物种)”可知,很多物种处于危险中是由于天气变化,故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, such as using virtual reality, and Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: ‘Taking a walk through a group of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.’(虽然关于动物园的争论仍在继续,但人们正在探索新的机会见到野生动物,比如使用虚拟现实,动物园设计师Jon Coe告诉BBC:‘我认为,在塞伦盖蒂的一群大象中散步,很快就会成为可能。’)”可知,Jon Coe认为未来有希望见到野生动物,故选D。
D
Floods are among the most deadly and damaging disasters worldwide. Many smaller communities, especially those that have never experienced floods before, lack the tools they need to detect (监测) and manage the disaster, leaving them struggling to face the full force of flooding.
To help protect these communities, the National Space Agency (NSA) has partnered with several leading scientific groups to develop a new flood detection tool called “Model of Models” (MoM) . This tool combines data from open-source hydrological (水文的) models with Earth observing satellite data to produce global flood risk level updates several times a day. When the MoM detects a high probability of flooding in an area, it sends a flood early warning to affected communities, letting them quickly take the necessary steps to save lives and belongings.
“This new technology covers the face of the globe, enabling us to observe flood risk and predict the chance of floods in ways never before possible,” said Dr. Shan Clain, Manager for NSA’s Earth Science Applied Sciences Program. “The technology we’ve developed will make a huge difference, enabling early action by communities around the globe — especially small island communities and developing countries that lack the necessary early warning information to protect themselves and their loved ones during flood events.” MoM will be a game changer.
Until now, full global flood early warnings have not been possible, either due to limitations in hydrologic monitoring networks, prediction models, or the professional knowledge to operate and widely share their results, especially in small and underdeveloped countries.
Oma Sam, a director at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said: “Effective early warning information is shown to save lives. However, traditional flood early warning has so far been expensive and requires local funding, resources, knowledge as well as regular care. I am looking forward to helping NSA provide this powerful MoM to all communities so that early warnings can reach the last mile.”
12. What can we learn about MoM from paragraph 2?
A. It sends early warnings several times a day. B. It frequently updates global flood risk levels.
C. It is specially for flood-affected communities. D. It relies on human observation to detect floods.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about MoM?
A. Its operational steps. B. Its development history.
C. Its value and effect. D. Its technology progress.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Early warning information is enough to save lives.
B. MoM has been provided to all the communities now.
C. MoM is expected to beat some past system limitations.
D. MoM is well-received in small developing countries.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. MoM: A Breakthrough in Global Flood Early Warning.
B. NSA: A Partner of Small Communities in Flood Rescue.
C. MoM Saves Small Communities From Flood Disasters.
D. NSA Leads the Improvement of Flood Detection Tools.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国国家航天局(NSA)联合科研团队开发了一种名为“模型集合”(MoM)的洪水监测工具,旨在为全球社区提供更有效的洪水预警。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This tool combines data from open-source hydrological (水文的) models with Earth observing satellite data to produce global flood risk level updates several times a day.(该工具将开源水文模型的数据与地球观测卫星数据相结合,每天多次更新全球洪水风险等级。)”可知,MoM每天多次更新全球洪水风险等级。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““This new technology covers the face of the globe, enabling us to observe flood risk and predict the chance of floods in ways never before possible,” said Dr. Shan Clain, Manager for NSA’s Earth Science Applied Sciences Program. “The technology we’ve developed will make a huge difference, enabling early action by communities around the globe — especially small island communities and developing countries that lack the necessary early warning information to protect themselves and their loved ones during flood events.” MoM will be a game changer.(NSA地球科学应用科学项目负责人Shan Clain博士说:“这项新技术覆盖了全球,使我们能够以前所未有的方式观察洪水风险并预测洪水发生的可能性。”“我们开发的技术将产生巨大的影响,使全球社区能够及早采取行动——特别是小岛屿社区和发展中国家,它们缺乏在洪水事件中保护自己和亲人所需的预警信息。”MoM将改变游戏规则。)”可知,第三段主要介绍了MoM的价值和影响。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Until now, full global flood early warnings have not been possible, either due to limitations in hydrologic monitoring networks, prediction models, or the professional knowledge to operate and widely share their results, especially in small and underdeveloped countries.(到目前为止,由于水文监测网络、预测模型或操作和广泛分享其结果的专业知识的局限性,特别是在小国和不发达国家,全球洪水预警一直无法实现。)”和最后一段“Oma Sam, a director at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said: “Effective early warning information is shown to save lives. However, traditional flood early warning has so far been expensive and requires local funding, resources, knowledge as well as regular care. I am looking forward to helping NSA provide this powerful MoM to all communities so that early warnings can reach the last mile.”(国际红十字会与红新月会联合会主任Oma Sam说:“有效的预警信息可以拯救生命。然而,到目前为止,传统的洪水预警成本高昂,需要当地资金、资源、知识以及定期维护。我期待着帮助NSA向所有社区提供这一强大的MoM,以便预警能够到达最后一公里。”)”可知,MoM有望克服过去的一些系统限制。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Floods are among the most deadly and damaging disasters worldwide. Many smaller communities, especially those that have never experienced floods before, lack the tools they need to detect (监测) and manage the disaster, leaving them struggling to face the full force of flooding.(洪水是世界上最具破坏力和破坏性的灾难之一。许多较小的社区,特别是那些从未经历过洪水的社区,缺乏检测和管理灾难所需的工具,使他们难以应对洪水的全力冲击。)”和第二段“To help protect these communities, the National Space Agency (NSA) has partnered with several leading scientific groups to develop a new flood detection tool called “Model of Models” (MoM).(为了帮助保护这些社区,美国国家航天局(NSA)与几个领先的科研团队合作开发了一种名为“模型集合”(MoM)的新型洪水检测工具。)”可知,文章主要讲述了美国国家航天局(NSA)联合科研团队开发了一种名为“模型集合”(MoM)的洪水监测工具,旨在为全球社区提供更有效的洪水预警。由此可知,A项“MoM:全球洪水预警的突破”最适合作本文标题。故选A。

The Ripple of Kindness
One evening, I was rushing to catch the last bus home when I noticed an elderly woman ____21____ on the sidewalk. Her cane had slipped, and she was struggling to ____22____ it. Without thinking, I ran over and helped her up. She smiled warmly and said, “Thank you, dear. You’ve saved me from a fall.”
As I walked away, I couldn’t help but ____23____ her kind eyes. They reminded me of my grandmother, who had always taught me that small acts of kindness could ____24____ a big difference.
The next day, I saw the same woman at the local grocery store. She was ____25____ a bag of groceries, clearly having difficulty. I quickly offered to carry it for her. She accepted with a grateful nod. “You’re such a ____26____ soul,” she said.
Over the next few weeks, I began to notice something ____27____. Every time I helped her, she would later be seen helping someone else — a child struggling with homework, a young mother carrying a baby, or a lost tourist. It was as if her kindness was ____28____ like ripples in a pond.
One day, I finally asked her, “Why do you keep helping others?” She looked at me with a gentle smile and said, “Because I once received kindness when I needed it most. Now, I just want to ____29____ it forward.”
Her words stayed with me. I realized that kindness wasn’t just about grand gestures; it was about the small, everyday actions that could ____30____ someone’s day.
Inspired by her example, I started doing more for others. I began volunteering at a community center, ____31____ meals for the elderly, and even helping classmates with their homework.
To my surprise, the more I gave, the more I received. My classmates became more ____32____, the elderly I helped sent me thank-you notes, and even my teachers noticed the change in my attitude.
One afternoon, the elderly woman handed me a small, hand-written note. It read: “Your kindness has created a ripple. Keep it going.”
I smiled, knowing that even the smallest act of kindness could ____33____ a chain reaction.
Today, I still see her helping others, and I continue to do the same. We may never know the full ____34____ of our actions, but one thing is certain — kindness has a way of ____35____ to us, often in the most unexpected ways.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had run away from home after finishing high school. My parents had insisted I go to college, but I was tired of school. I hated it. I was determined not to go. And, besides, my father was too strict. I had too many chores to do around the farm. I hated the work!
There had been a quarrel between my father and me. I threw some things into a bag and left angrily, as my father shouted after me, “If you leave, don’t come back!” My mother cried openly, and I had seen those tears during a hundred sleepless nights.
Then it was time to write a letter to my father.
Dear Dad,
It’s been more than a year now. I’ve traveled east to west. I’ve had dozens of jobs. None of them amounted to very much. Always the same questions: “How much education have you got?” It seems they always want college men for the good jobs.
Dad, you and Mother were right about everything. I know now that the work on the farm didn’t hurt me, and I’m convinced I need college. I’m also convinced that both of you loved me.
Dad, I’ve learned a lesson. I want to come home. I know you said if I left, I couldn’t come back, but I’m praying you’ll change your mind. I want to come home and be a part of the family again.
Give my love to Mother and the girls.
Love,
Your son
As I folded the letter and put it into an envelope, I felt a refreshing relief. It was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders. And I had to be on my way home.
I started down the desolate road—the long road home. Fortunately, a car picked me up, and it was good to have someone to talk with. The driver was a salesman and very pleasant.
“Where you going, boy?” he asked good-naturedly.
There was a long silence before I said, “Home.”
“Been away from home long?”
I smiled, a little self-conscious, and said, “One year, one month and two days.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Having heard my story, he expressed his support for my final decision and told me something surprising. “Boy, you have made the right choice to go back home,” he said. “To be frank, my son ran away from home two years ago. I have been missing him every hour and every minute.” Now it’s time for me to comfort him, “Don’t worry. I believe he will come back soon, just like me.” I expressed my thanks for his kindness of having me in his car and I wished his son good luck. After all, we are all good people and good people deserve good fortune.
Finally, I arrived home when it was completely dark. Nervous and uneasy, I approached the door and knocked on it gently. It was my father who opened the door and my sudden appearance made him go wild with joy. “Son, you’ve finally come back. I’ve been waiting for this moment for long,” said my father in a trembling voice. It was at that moment that I realized there is no place like home and that blood is thicker than water.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Australian Pine
A perfect “living decoration” to add in your house, it is good to look at and has a comforting feel. It can also serve as the perfect Christmas tree. It grows around 10 feet tall indoors. Remember that it requires plenty of light and fresh air. Otherwise, it becomes weak and an easy target for mites (螨虫).
Dracaena
The green and yellow pattern on its leaves looks great. It can grow to be around 10 feet tall. Just make sure you keep the soil surface dry between your watering periods because it gets influenced by too much water. Also, having this plant around a dog can be dangerous. It can be poisonous to dogs if they eat it.
Grape Ivy
If you want something off the ceiling (天花板), this houseplant is the one for you. It’s a climbing plant, and it will make for a beautiful hanging basket decoration. The plant is full of life wherever it is hung. It needs to be kept wet in all its parts for good growth.
Peperomia
It is little in size, with long leaves. It adds energy to your living room and creates a comforting environment. As it’s not a very tall plant, you needn’t worry about how much space it will take up. The plant likes a dry surface of the soil.
A houseplant is pretty to look at and brings fresh air to your home. Besides, looking after a plant will give you something more to do and care about. Let’s look at the four best houseplants you can grow.
So what are you waiting for? Choose the one that attracts you most, and give your home a wonderful addition.
1. Which of the following can serve as a Christmas tree?
A. Grape ivy. B. Dracaena. C. Australian pine. D. Peperomia.

About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.
4. What do we know about Steward’s current job?
A. He runs an animal shelter.
B. He adopts abandoned pets.
C. He works for a science program.
D. He attends to homeless people's pets.
5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned?
A. To explain his change of career focus.
B. To illustrate his professional competence.
C. To explore the future of the industry.
D. To reflect the challenges of the profession,
6. What do many people think of Steward?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful.
7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for.
C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to.
C
For many of us, our closest meeting with wild animals is at a zoo. These places allow us to observe the behaviours and characteristics of amazing creatures. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for the animals? A long time ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later, live animals were caught by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in zoos — animal protection was not a priority. But modern zoos and wildlife parks have transformed the conditions and environments for animals, making bigger enclosures (围场), removing bars, and, to some extent, copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals and using them just for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show they are here to help wildlife by educating us about protection. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes.
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help to protect species that are under threat in the wild due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Protection at Salford University says: “We wouldn’t have a lot of different species today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have breeding (繁殖) programmes which help to preserve the future of species. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its protection work. It brought a rare fish species back from the dead after breeding and releasing a school of golden fish back into their native river.
While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, such as using virtual reality, and Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a group of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.”
8. What can be inferred from paragraph one?
A. The conditions for animals are improving.
B. People used to kill animals for entertainment.
C. Museums have led to the popularity of wildlife.
D. Animal protection has always been the biggest concern.
9. The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 is mentioned to ________.
A. prove it is cruel to keep animals in zoos
B. show zoos are making efforts to protect wildlife
C. question whether it is useful to educate the public
D. express not all the zoos are well managed
10. Why are some species in danger according to paragraph 3?
A. Because of little resources. B. Because of heavy pollution.
C. Because of climate change. D. Because of illegal hunting.
11. What is Jon Coe’s attitude towards meeting wildlife in the future?
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Unknown. D. Hopeful.
D
Floods are among the most deadly and damaging disasters worldwide. Many smaller communities, especially those that have never experienced floods before, lack the tools they need to detect (监测) and manage the disaster, leaving them struggling to face the full force of flooding.
To help protect these communities, the National Space Agency (NSA) has partnered with several leading scientific groups to develop a new flood detection tool called “Model of Models” (MoM) . This tool combines data from open-source hydrological (水文的) models with Earth observing satellite data to produce global flood risk level updates several times a day. When the MoM detects a high probability of flooding in an area, it sends a flood early warning to affected communities, letting them quickly take the necessary steps to save lives and belongings.
“This new technology covers the face of the globe, enabling us to observe flood risk and predict the chance of floods in ways never before possible,” said Dr. Shan Clain, Manager for NSA’s Earth Science Applied Sciences Program. “The technology we’ve developed will make a huge difference, enabling early action by communities around the globe — especially small island communities and developing countries that lack the necessary early warning information to protect themselves and their loved ones during flood events.” MoM will be a game changer.
Until now, full global flood early warnings have not been possible, either due to limitations in hydrologic monitoring networks, prediction models, or the professional knowledge to operate and widely share their results, especially in small and underdeveloped countries.
Oma Sam, a director at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said: “Effective early warning information is shown to save lives. However, traditional flood early warning has so far been expensive and requires local funding, resources, knowledge as well as regular care. I am looking forward to helping NSA provide this powerful MoM to all communities so that early warnings can reach the last mile.”
12. What can we learn about MoM from paragraph 2?
A. It sends early warnings several times a day. B. It frequently updates global flood risk levels.
C. It is specially for flood-affected communities. D. It relies on human observation to detect floods.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about MoM?
A. Its operational steps. B. Its development history.
C. Its value and effect. D. Its technology progress.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Early warning information is enough to save lives.
B. MoM has been provided to all the communities now.
C. MoM is expected to beat some past system limitations.
D. MoM is well-received in small developing countries.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. MoM: A Breakthrough in Global Flood Early Warning.
B. NSA: A Partner of Small Communities in Flood Rescue.
C. MoM Saves Small Communities From Flood Disasters.
D. NSA Leads the Improvement of Flood Detection Tools.

The Ripple of Kindness
One evening, I was rushing to catch the last bus home when I noticed an elderly woman ____21____ on the sidewalk. Her cane had slipped, and she was struggling to ____22____ it. Without thinking, I ran over and helped her up. She smiled warmly and said, “Thank you, dear. You’ve saved me from a fall.”
As I walked away, I couldn’t help but ____23____ her kind eyes. They reminded me of my grandmother, who had always taught me that small acts of kindness could ____24____ a big difference.
The next day, I saw the same woman at the local grocery store. She was ____25____ a bag of groceries, clearly having difficulty. I quickly offered to carry it for her. She accepted with a grateful nod. “You’re such a ____26____ soul,” she said.
Over the next few weeks, I began to notice something ____27____. Every time I helped her, she would later be seen helping someone else — a child struggling with homework, a young mother carrying a baby, or a lost tourist. It was as if her kindness was ____28____ like ripples in a pond.
One day, I finally asked her, “Why do you keep helping others?” She looked at me with a gentle smile and said, “Because I once received kindness when I needed it most. Now, I just want to ____29____ it forward.”

Inspired by her example, I started doing more for others. I began volunteering at a community center, ____31____ meals for the elderly, and even helping classmates with their homework.
To my surprise, the more I gave, the more I received. My classmates became more ____32____, the elderly I helped sent me thank-you notes, and even my teachers noticed the change in my attitude.
One afternoon, the elderly woman handed me a small, hand-written note. It read: “Your kindness has created a ripple. Keep it going.”
I smiled, knowing that even the smallest act of kindness could ____33____ a chain reaction.
Today, I still see her helping others, and I continue to do the same. We may never know the full ____34____ of our actions, but one thing is certain — kindness has a way of ____35____ to us, often in the most unexpected ways.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had run away from home after finishing high school. My parents had insisted I go to college, but I was tired of school. I hated it. I was determined not to go. And, besides, my father was too strict. I had too many chores to do around the farm. I hated the work!
There had been a quarrel between my father and me. I threw some things into a bag and left angrily, as my father shouted after me, “If you leave, don’t come back!” My mother cried openly, and I had seen those tears during a hundred sleepless nights.
Then it was time to write a letter to my father.
Dear Dad,
It’s been more than a year now. I’ve traveled east to west. I’ve had dozens of jobs. None of them amounted to very much. Always the same questions: “How much education have you got?” It seems they always want college men for the good jobs.
Dad, you and Mother were right about everything. I know now that the work on the farm didn’t hurt me, and I’m convinced I need college. I’m also convinced that both of you loved me.
Dad, I’ve learned a lesson. I want to come home. I know you said if I left, I couldn’t come back, but I’m praying you’ll change your mind. I want to come home and be a part of the family again.
Give my love to Mother and the girls.
Love,
Your son
As I folded the letter and put it into an envelope, I felt a refreshing relief. It was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders. And I had to be on my way home.
I started down the desolate road—the long road home. Fortunately, a car picked me up, and it was good to have someone to talk with. The driver was a salesman and very pleasant.
“Where you going, boy?” he asked good-naturedly.
There was a long silence before I said, “Home.”
“Been away from home long?”
I smiled, a little self-conscious, and said, “One year, one month and two days.”
