Dear Linda,
Hope you’re having a wonderful week!I’m super excited to tell you about our Smart Farm field trip last Friday.
Upon arrival一到达,the farm workers showed us all kinds of cool high-tech devices:sensors感应器 that track soil moisture水分, automatic自动的 watering systems,and even drones无人机 checking the crops from above.The most impressive part was picking fresh strawberries.One bite and you could taste the sweet juice exploding in your mouth.So amazing to see how tech makes farming smarter!
This activity was a great eye-opener.Not only did I gain a deeper understanding of modern farming but also felt the charm魅力 of cutting-edge尖端的 science.How I wish you could visit our Smart Farm some day.
Yours,
Li Hua

I finally gathered my courage and walked up to Suzie after class. I apologized sincerely for my rude words and admitted that Id been too impulsive冲动的 to listen to her explanation. Suzie looked surprised at first, and then smiled gently. “Its okay,” she said. “I know you were under pressure for the exhibition. We should have communicated better too.” She told me shed been looking forward to working with our club again. We quickly agreed on the division of labor: Our club would focus on taking themed photos, while hers would handle the captions and background research.
With Suzies help, we worked smoothly for the competition. Her club not only designed thoughtful深思熟虑的 captions but also suggested creative ways to present the photos. During our cooperation, I learned to listen patiently and appreciate others efforts. Whenever we faced difficulties, we supported each other instead of blaming. Finally, our entry进入、条目、参赛作品 won second prize in the national competition. At the award ceremony颁奖典礼, Suzie and I looked at each other, sharing a smile that held pride. Through the experience, I realized that true cooperation isnt just about splitting work, but about understanding, respecting, and forgiving each other.

【4题详解】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新的心理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有美学吸引力的因素。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中“To do this, the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems.(为了做到这一点,研究小组让400多名参与者阅读并评价两种类型的诗歌——俳句和十四行诗,目的是了解哪些因素最能预测诗歌的美学吸引力)”可知,研究人员要求参与者评价俳句和十四行诗。故选A项。
6.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing.(他们的研究结果表明,心理意象的生动性是审美吸引力的最佳预测指标 —— 能唤起更多意象的诗歌更令人愉悦)”可知,心理意象的生动性与美学吸引力有着最强的联系。故选D项。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Starr的话““While limited to poetry,” she adds, “our work sheds light into which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”(“虽然仅限于诗歌,”她补充说,“但我们的工作揭示了哪些事实最影响我们的美学判断,并为未来研究我们在其他领域如何做出这样的判断铺平了道路。”)”可知,从Starr的话中可以推断出,这项研究将有助于探索其他领域的美学判断。故选A项。
8.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing.(新的心理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有美学吸引力的因素)”可知,文章开篇指出新的心理学研究指出了人们觉得某些诗歌具有审美吸引力的因素,接着介绍了研究过程和研究发现,最后说明研究的意义,所以文章的主要目的是展示关于审美吸引力的研究发现。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,美国对全球沿海塑料污染的“贡献”比此前认为的高得多,原因包括用塑增加和纳入出口废塑料污染,数据标准缺失致估算范围大。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the research, published in Science Advances, two factors contributed to the sharp increase:Americans are using more plastic than ever and the current study included pollution produced by United States exports of plastic waste, while the earlier one did not.(根据发表在《科学进展》上的研究,有两个因素导致了塑料的急剧增加:美国人使用的塑料比以往任何时候都多,目前的研究包括了美国出口塑料废物产生的污染,而之前的研究没有)”可知,因为现在的研究包含了之前未考虑的数据,所以美国对沿海塑料污染的“贡献”比之前认为的要高。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The study estimates that in 2016, the United States contributed between 1.1 and 2.5 million tons of plastic waste to the oceans through a combination of littering, dumping and mismanaged exports.(该研究估计,2016年,美国通过乱扔垃圾、倾倒和管理不善的出口向海洋排放了110万至250万吨塑料废物)”以及第六段“At a minimum, that’s almost double the total estimated waste in the team’s previous study.(至少,这几乎是该团队之前研究中估计的垃圾总量的两倍)”可计算出之前研究中估计的塑料垃圾总量约为1.1÷2=0.55百万吨。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段“The ranges are wide partly because ‘there’s no real standard for being able to provide good quality data on collection and disposal of waste in general,’ said Ted Siegler, a resource economist at DSM Environmental Solutions, a consulting firm, and an author of the study.(DSM Environmental Solutions的资源经济学家、该研究的作者泰德·西格勒(Ted Siegler)表示,范围很广,部分原因是‘总体上没有能够提供高质量废物收集和处置数据的真正标准’)”可知,数据范围广是因为没有被广泛认可的数据相关标准。故选C项。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nonetheless, Dr. Walker, who was not involved in the study, said it could offer a more accurate accounting of plastic pollution than the previous study, which likely underestimated the United States’ contribution. ‘They’ve put their best estimate, as accurate as they can be with this data,’ he said, and used ranges, which underscores that the figures are estimates.(然而,没有参与这项研究的沃克博士说,与之前可能低估了美国贡献的研究相比,这项研究能更准确地计算塑料污染。他说:‘他们给出了最好的估计,在这些数据的基础上尽可能准确’,并使用了范围,这强调了这些数字是估计值)”可知,沃克博士认为研究团队的估计是基于现有数据尽可能准确的,但也只是估计,言外之意是他认为这些估计并非绝对准确。故选A项。

Abu Simbel, Aswan, Egypt
Abu Simbel is a temple carved into solid rock above the Nile flood plain. Though relocated in the 1960s due to the creation of Lake Nasser, it remains an awe-inspiring monument. The complex features two massive temples built by King Ramses Ⅱ. Its impressive statues and detailed wall carvings reflect ancient Egyptian art and religious beliefs. Eltz Castle, Wierschem, Germany

The structure is decorated with over 2,600 relief panels and about 500 Buddha statues, arranged around a large central dome. It remains the largest Buddhist temple in the world.
The Forbidden City, Beijing, China
Built in the early 15th century, the Forbidden City is a vast palace complex of regal (帝王的) halls, ceremonial courtyards, gardens and living quarters, which served as the home of Chinese emperors and their households for about 500 years.

In the summer of 2019, I decided to get a job. I sent my CV to every shop and cafe in my village. Luckily, I was offered an interview at a local restaurant.
The interview went well, but before I left, the hiring manager asked me to try out serving a customer. "Just give her the items shown next to her order number on that screen," he said, pointing to a monitor on the wall.
To my horror, I couldn't make out a word on the display. The customer stood impatiently as I froze. Unsurprisingly, I received a rejection email the next morning.
My summer dreams were crushed – and more importantly, I realized I was disabled.
I was born with poor eyesight. As a child, I struggled to see the board in class, even from the front row. I masked this by copying notes from my friends. As I got older, I buried the secret even more. I desperately tried to hide my visual impairment (视力缺陷).
However, when I got back from that job interview, I made the first step toward coping with life with a disability: acceptance. From my doctor, I learned that glasses wouldn't help and that I would never be allowed to drive. Each new detail felt like a fresh blow.
For the first time, I read my official diagnosis – retinal dystrophy (视网膜营养不良). To my surprise, I was filled with relief.
The next step was abandoning the hyper-independence (过度独立) I had developed over the years. I had to learn to ask for help, something I'd always avoided.
As I started reaching out for help, the love and support of my friends overwhelmed me. They boosted my confidence so that I no longer felt embarrassed to ask for assistance. When I asked strangers to help read cafe menus or cross the road, I was surprised at how kind they were.
Today, I'm much more confident than I was at 16. Though my vision can't be changed, I treat every barrier as a new challenge. I speak up when something isn't accessible and ask for adjustments. If I feel shy about my vision, I remember that there are over 2 million people in the UK with sight loss. I'm not just speaking up for myself but for the millions like me.

New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing. “While it may seem obvious that individual taste matters in judgments of poetry, we found certain factors consistently influence how much a poem will be enjoyed.”
Aesthetics (美学), the basis of what we find appealing or not, play an important role in our everyday lives. However, little is known about how we make these judgments. The researchers sought to answer an age-old question — “Why do we like what we like?” — by measuring what we find aesthetically pleasing in poetry.
To do this, the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems. After reading each poem, participants answered questions about the poem’s vividness (“How vivid is the imagery evoked from this poem?”), emotional arousal (“How relaxing or stimulating is this poem?”), emotional valence (“How positive or negative is the content of this poem?”), and aesthetic appeal (“How enjoyable or aesthetically appealing did you find this poem?”).
Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing. Emotional valence also predicted aesthetic appeal, though to a lesser extent; specifically, poems that were found to be more positive were generally found to be more appealing. By contrast, emotional arousal did not have a clear relationship to aesthetic appeal.
“The vividness of a poem consistently predicted its aesthetic appeal,” notes Starr, author of Feeling Beauty: The Neuroscience of Aesthetic Experience. “Therefore, it seems that vividness of mental imagery may be a key factor influencing what we like more broadly.” “While limited to poetry,” she adds, “our work sheds light into which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”
28.What did the researchers ask the participants to do?
A.Evaluate poems of haiku and sonnet. B.Write the aesthetic appeal of poems.
C.Explain factors of emotional valence. D.Ask questions about the poem’s vividness.
29.Which of the following is true according to paragraph 4?
A.Poems with more negative content are more appealing.
B.Emotional arousal is negatively related to aesthetic appeal.
C.Emotional valence is the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal.
D.Vividness of mental imagery has the strongest connection with aesthetic appeal.
30.What can be inferred from Starr’s words?
A.The research will help explore aesthetic judgments in other fields.
B.The finding of vividness being a key factor is only applicable to poetry.
C.Emotional valence should be further studied in the context of other art forms.
D.The research has little value for understanding aesthetic judgments in other areas.
31.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce different types of poems. B.To discuss the importance of aesthetics.
C.To show the findings of aesthetic appeal. D.To persuade people to admire the poems.
D
The United States contribution to coastal plastic pollution world-wide is significantly larger than previously thought, possibly by as much as five times, according to a study published Friday.
According to the research, published in Science Advances, two factors contributed to the sharp increase: Americans are using more plastic than ever and the current study included pollution produced by United States exports of plastic waste, while the earlier one did not.
The United States, which does not have sufficient infrastructure (基础建设) to handle its recycling demands at home, exports about half of its recyclable waste. Of the total exported, about 88 percent ends up in countries considered to have inadequate waste management.
“When you consider how much of our plastic waste isn’t actually recyclable because it is low-value, polluted or difficult to process, it’s not surprising that a lot of it ends up polluting the environment,” said the study’s lead author, Kara Lavender Law, research professor of oceanography at Sea Education Association, in a statement.
The study estimates that in 2016, the United States contributed between 1.1 and 2.5 million tons of plastic waste to the oceans through a combination of littering, dumping and mismanaged exports.
At a minimum, that’s almost double the total estimated waste in the team’s previous study. At the high end, it would be a fivefold increase over the earlier estimate.
The ranges are wide partly because “there’s no real standard for being able to provide good quality data on collection and disposal of waste in general,” said Ted Siegler, a resource economist at DSM Environmental Solutions, a consulting firm, and an author of the study.
Mr. Siegler said the researchers had evaluated waste-disposal practices in countries around the world and used their “best professional judgment” to determine the lowest and highest amounts of plastic waste likely to escape into the environment. They settled on a range of 25 percent to 75 percent.
Tony Walker, an associate professor at the Dalhousie University School for Resource and Environmental Studies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said that analyzing waste data can amount to a “data minefield (危机四伏的局面)” because there are no data standards across municipalities. Moreover, once plastic waste is shipped overseas, he said, data is often not recorded at all.
Nonetheless, Dr. Walker, who was not involved in the study, said it could offer a more accurate accounting of plastic pollution than the previous study, which likely underestimated the United States’ contribution. “They’ve put their best estimate, as accurate as they can be with this data,” he said, and used ranges, which underscores that the figures are estimates.
32. According to the research, what has made the US contribution to coastal plastic pollution higher than thought?
A. More unrecyclable plastic waste has been produced.
B. Some once excluded data is now included in the study.
C. Americans have begun to export plastic waste recently.
D. People have no device at home to dispose of plastic waste.
33. The total estimated plastic waste was according to the team’s previous study.
A. about 0.26 million tons B. about 0.55 million tons
C. about 1.1 million tons D. about 2.2 million tons
34. Why is there a wide range in the team’s estimate?
A. Countries around the world vary a lot in the amount of plastic waste.
B. More plastic waste has escaped into the environment than before.
C. No such data-related standard is widely acknowledged.
D. The team hopes to give a possible prospect.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that Tony Walker .
A. doesn’t think the team’s estimates are that accurate
B. underestimates the US contribution to plastic waste
C. doesn’t think that the team should provide such estimates
D. feels regretful that he hasn’t been involved in the study

We've all been there – reaching into the fridge to find a forgotten cucumber shriveled (干瘪) beyond recognition, or a half-eaten bag of baby spinach quietly collapsing into mush. Australian households throw out almost 2.5m tonnes of food every year – or the equivalent of 7.7m meals a day. 36 .
Over the past decade, I've developed habits that help reduce food waste. Here are some ideas that may work.
Stop food waste at the source
The best way to prevent food waste is to avoid bringing too much into your house. 37 .
I keep a digital shopping list on my phone, adding things as they run out so it's always up to date. I stick to my list, only buying the things I actually need.
Growing some food also helps me prevent waste. I prioritize plants that spoil quickly, especially leafy greens. 38 .
Eat it before you bin it
I check my fridge regularly for items that will soon go off, moving them to the front so they're the first thing I see. The same goes for the pantry (食品储藏室). 39 .
For families, I recommend bright yellow Use It Up tape (or a homemade version), which you can stick on items in the fridge as a simple visual reminder.
____40_____
I always follow the principle “produce no waste” by giving scraps (残羹剩饭) a second life. For example, when dealing with old vegetables, I'll make simple pickles (泡菜) to keep it shelf-stable. I also collect vegetable offcuts in a big freezer bag, and when it's full, I use a slow cooker to make soup.
A. And that starts at the supermarket
B. Limit or switch the items on your list
C. Turn food scraps into something delicious
D. They're easy to grow, and I can pick what I need at anytime
E. If a staple is starting to age, I plan a meal to use it up
F. Donating unwanted food to local charities can also be a choice
G. While the scale is discouraging, we each can find solutions at home

Wilbur was 12 years old and Orville 8 when their father brought home a toy. It was a rubber 17 made in France. They liked it so much that they played with it until it broke. Immediately, they began 18 copies. They were hooked on aviation! In 1900, as young men, having built their first glider (滑翔机), they decided to 19 it out at Kitty Hawk on Kill Devil Hills. It 20 consistent strong winds and the somewhat cushioning (减震的) effects of sand. That first flight was unsuccessful, but it didn’t stop them. After several more tries, on December 17, 1903, with a much 21 plane, they risked their lives to fly it in the wind. They 22 flying the world’s first powered airplane. Beginning at 10:35 a.m. that day, Orville 23 it 120 feet in about 12 seconds! At 12:00, Wilbur flew it 852 feet in 59 seconds! Johnny Moore, one of the five men who 24 them that morning (in charge of dragging the plane across the sand for positioning), ran to the village of Kitty Hawk crying. “They’ve made it!” This was the 25 of aviation! At this time, Wilbur was 36 and Orville 32. Roughly 24 years had passed since their father gave them that 26 !
If you have a dream, work at it. If it doesn’t turn out as 27 , try again! Stick to what you want 28 . Don’t ever give up! 29 in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more 30 than unsuccessful men with talent. Persistence and determination alone make a difference.

As the president of the photography club in our school , Ⅰ was excited to cooperate with the Environmental protection club ona“Green campus”photo exhibition. we agreed to split (分摊) the work : our club would take photos of eco_friendly sceneson campus, while their club , led by my classmate suzie , would design the exhibition boardsand write captions (说明文字) .
The deadline was two weeks away , and everything seemed to be going well. our club spent weekends capturing beautiful shot sof the school garden , therecycling station , and students practicing low_carbon lifestyles. However , three days before the deadline , suzie sent mea message saying their club hadn’t finished the captions yet. Ⅰ felt anxious__without captions, the photos would make little sense. Ⅰ replied angrily , blaming them for being irresponsible and threatening to cancel the cooperation.
suzie didn’t respond immediately. Later that evening , she sent a long message explaining that two of their key members had caught a heavy cold and that they’d been struggling to keep up. But Ⅰ was too upset to read it carefully , so Ⅰ just ignored her. The next day , Ⅰ told my club members we’d finish the captions ourselves, even though it meant extra work.
The photo exhibition turned out to bea success, but Ⅰ hadn’t spoken to suzie since that argument. Every time Ⅰ met her in the hallway , she’d look away quietly. A month later , our teacher announced that the school would select a team to participate in a national environmental photography competition , and that we needed to work with the Environmental protection club again.
Ⅰ hesitated fora long time. Ⅰ knew suzie was the best person to lead the caption team , but Ⅰ was embarrassed about how Ⅰ’d treated her. My club members encouraged me to talk to her , saying that holding a grudge (怨恨) wouldn’t solve anything.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右 ;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ⅰ finally gathered my courage and walked up to suzie after class.
with suzie’s help , we worked smoothly for the competition.
