Urgent: Special Summer Outdoor Protection Notice
To many, sun hats are just casual daily wear...
But When Outside, This Hat May Keep You Safe from Heat Harm!
Lots of people suffer from sudden sunstroke when staying outdoors under strong summer sunlight. Uncomfortable heat injuries happen frequently. However, most people keep working and walking outdoors without proper protection against burning sunshine.
Not all sun hats are of the same quality. Guarding your head from heat is extremely important. With various beautiful and fashionable hat designs on the market, people easily ignore the most important part — the protective lining. Therefore, we have studied related data and adopted advanced thermal insulation (隔热) technology.
It comes from professional climate science research. Many ordinary sun hats only block sunlight weakly and cannot cut down harmful heat radiation. Now, independent research from environmental scientists has developed revolutionary heat-resistant technology to prevent high-temperature harm. This excellent material design was inspired by desert animals with natural heat resistance. This creation is now called Cool Guard®.
The only outdoor hat technology is recognized by Global Climate Protection Association for heat isolation and sun protection. Its double-layer insulation structure blocks 99.8% of burning sunlight and reduces surface temperature greatly, with extra protection against ultraviolet rays (紫外线).
Top-quality daily supplies: Buy one, get one FREE! Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with Cool Guard® hats, just return one pair within 30 days for a complete refund. The other hat is free for you forever.

Felicity Irons is widely known as Britain’s last master of traditional rush weaving, an ancient handicraft on the edge of disappearance. Centuries ago, rush weaving used to be a widespread industry across Europe. People made baskets, mats and daily necessities with dry water plants. However, with the rise of plastic products and mass machine production in modern times, the old craft gradually faded out of people’s lives. Few young people were willing to learn the time-consuming skill, and most old craftsmen retired.
Felicity’s connection with the craft began unexpectedly. She suffered a serious car accident in her youth, which left her with permanent back pain. She needed a job that allowed her to stand and focus calmly. By chance, she discovered the nearly-lost art of rush weaving. With no teacher available, she taught herself from ancient handbooks, repeating every single step thousands of times.
For over forty years, Felicity has stuck to her small countryside workshop, far from busy cities. Unlike most modern businessmen who chase quick profits, she firmly refuses commercial simplification. She never uses cheap artificial materials, nor cuts down traditional procedures for mass production. Each of her works takes days to complete by hand. Though her income remains low and public attention is scarce, she never regrets her choice.
She believes handcrafts carry the soul of history. Rush weaving is more than making objects; it is a precious cultural memory passed down from generations. To prevent the craft from dying out completely, she opens free workshops to teach local teenagers, recording all traditional skills in detail.
Modern society values fast speed and cheap goods, but Felicity proves that true craftsmanship never goes out of date. Her lifelong persistence guards the dying tradition, telling the world that old arts deserve respect and continuous inheritance.
4. Why did Felicity Irons take up rush weaving eventually?
A. She inherited the traditional skill from her family.
B. Her physical condition matched the nature of the craft.
C. She expected to gain fame from the rare handicraft.
D. She had no other practical job choices at that time.
5. What differs Felicity from other modern crafts-related businessmen?
A. She prefers advanced equipment to improve efficiency.
B. She moves to urban workshops for wider market access.
C. She rejects commercial changes to preserve ancient rules.
D. She raises prices slightly to increase personal income.
6. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Felicity’s free teaching workshops?
A. To show teenagers’ growing interest in traditional culture.
B. To explain the practical value of daily hand-made products.
C. To compare the differences between ancient and modern education.
D. To present her efforts to maintain the continuity of the old craft.
7. What can we infer about true craftsmanship from the whole passage?
A. Long devotion matters more than immediate gains in craftsmanship.
B. Commercial support contributes much to the survival of traditional skills.
C. Public admiration helps traditional arts develop in modern society.
D. Natural materials lay a basic foundation for hand-made creations.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了费莉西蒂因身体原因自学灯心草编织,并毕生坚守传承这一濒危传统手工艺的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She suffered a serious car accident in her youth, which left her with permanent back pain. She needed a job that allowed her to stand and focus calmly. By chance, she discovered the nearly-lost art of rush weaving. (她年轻时遭遇了一场严重的车祸,留下了永久性的背痛。她需要一份能让她站着并专注平静地完成的工作。偶然间,她发现了近乎失传的灯心草编织艺术。)”可知,她的身体状况与这门手艺的特性相匹配。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike most modern businessmen who chase quick profits, she firmly refuses commercial simplification. She never uses cheap artificial materials, nor cuts down traditional procedures for mass production. (与大多数追逐快速利润的现代商人不同,她坚决拒绝商业简化。她从不使用廉价的人造材料,也不为了批量生产而缩减传统工序。)”可知,她拒绝商业化的改变以保留古老的传统规则。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“To prevent the craft from dying out completely, she opens free workshops to teach local teenagers, recording all traditional skills in detail. (为了防止这门手艺彻底消失,她开设免费工作坊教当地青少年,并详细记录所有传统技艺。)”可知,作者提及费莉西蒂免费教学的目的,是为了展现她为保持古老手艺的延续性所做的努力。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,费莉西蒂坚持传统灯心草编织四十余年,不追求快速利润和公众关注,始终遵循古老工序,免费传授技艺。文章最后一段提到“Her lifelong persistence guards the dying tradition, telling the world that old arts deserve respect and continuous inheritance. (她毕生的坚持守护着这一濒临消亡的传统,向世界宣告:古老的艺术值得被尊重并持续传承下去。)”,说明真正的工匠精神中,长期的坚守比眼前的利益更重要。

Utah’s Great Salt Lake is shrinking alarmingly. Once 3,300 square miles, an area equal to Rhode Island and Delaware combined, it has shrunk to under 900 square miles, its smallest on record. The U. S. Geological Survey notes its July 2022 level hit 1,277 meters, the lowest measurement since 1847. “Human water extraction (提取), mainly for agriculture, is key, with climate change secondary,” says John Lin, a University of Utah atmospheric science professor.
The drying of the lake threatens both the environment and human health. As the water level drops, it exposes beds rich in arsenic (砷), where the arsenic content is higher than the limits set by the EPA. Though only 9% of exposed beds emit toxic (有毒的) dust when disturbed, winds carry it to the Wasatch Front, home to 2.6 million residents. What’s worse, breathing this air can cause asthma, heart disease, higher cancer risk.
The lake’s disappearance will destroy a key global ecosystem. Over 10 million migratory birds, including 34 species like American avocets, rely on it yearly. Tiny brine shrimp, 6 to 15 millimeters long, sustain the food chain and feed over 90% of these birds. Without the lake, many lose habitat, disrupting balance. It also sustains Utah’s water: its evaporation contributes 10% of mountain snowfall, providing 1.2 billion gallons of freshwater for daily use, farming and industry.
Saving the lake needs joint efforts. Citizens must cut water use — replacing wasteful lawns saves 50 gallons per square foot yearly. Farmers should grow drought-tolerant crops and boost irrigation efficiency from 60% to over 80%. Most importantly, the state must enforce strict water-saving laws, fund protection with $200 million annually, and redirect more water to the lake.
This crisis shows environmental protection is necessary. The Great Salt Lake’s fate links human activities to natural health. Respecting nature and taking action now can prevent long-term disasters and protect our future.
8. What do we know about Utah’s Great Salt Lake from the first paragraph?
A. It covers 3,300 square miles at present.
B. It is now larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
C. Climate change is the main cause of its shrinkage.
D. Its water level in July 2022 was the lowest in over 170 years.
9. What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in paragraph 2?
A. An exposed arsenic-rich bed.
B. The polluted lake water.
C. The poisonous dust from the exposed beds.
D. The wind blowing over the lake.
10. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. Brine shrimp are the unique food source for migratory birds.
B. The lake is a major contributor to Utah’s freshwater supply.
C. 34 species of migratory birds will disappear without the lake.
D. The lake’s evaporation reduces mountain snowfall by 10%.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Utah’s Great Salt Lake: A Growing Crisis
B. The Causes of Utah’s Great Salt Lake Shrinkage
C. Protect Utah’s Great Salt Lake Together
D. The Relationship Between Humans and Nature
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了犹他州大盐湖急剧缩小,带来环境与健康危机,呼吁人们共同保护。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The U. S. Geological Survey notes its July 2022 level hit 1,277 meters, the lowest measurement since 1847. (美国地质调查局指出,2022年7月其水位达到1277米,是自1847年以来的最低测量值。)”可知,2022年7月的水位是170多年来最低的。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Though only 9% of exposed beds emit toxic (有毒的) dust when disturbed, winds carry it to the Wasatch Front, home to 2.6 million residents. (尽管只有9%的裸露湖床在受到扰动时会释放有毒粉尘,但风将它吹向瓦萨奇前沿地区,那里是260万居民的家园。)”可知,“it”指代前文提到的裸露湖床产生的有毒粉尘。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It also sustains Utah’s water: its evaporation contributes 10% of mountain snowfall, providing 1.2 billion gallons of freshwater for daily use, farming and industry. (它还维持着犹他州的水资源:其蒸发量贡献了山区降雪量的10%,为日常使用、农业和工业提供12亿加仑的淡水。)”可知,该湖是犹他州淡水供应的重要贡献者。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“This crisis shows environmental protection is necessary. The Great Salt Lake’s fate links human activities to natural health. (这场危机凸显出环境保护势在必行。大盐湖的命运将人类活动与自然生态紧密相连。)”可知,文章讲述大盐湖面积锐减、危害影响及挽救措施,核心围绕湖泊面临严峻危机。A选项“犹他州大盐湖:一个日益严峻的危机”最能概括全文主旨,是文章的最佳标题。
D
As the use of large language models like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini has grown rapidly, chatbots have been found to strengthen users’ illusions and amplify (放大) negative thoughts, even pushing some toward suicide. More commonly, AI chatbots comfort and reassure anxious users who repeatedly ask the same questions for relief. Though such replies ease anxiety briefly, they strengthen the habit of seeking comfort repeatedly and leave people more stuck over time, which is not helpful for forming healthy thinking patterns or a happier life.
Many people now turn to chatbots for emotional support instead of family, friends or therapists (治疗专家), worries clinical doctors. However, it is easy to understand this trend, when suffering from anxiety or disturbing thoughts, people prefer talking to a computer. Chatbots never laugh at, blame or ignore users; they are always available and respond warmly, patiently and supportively, making users feel comforted immediately.
Yet these advantages bring clear harms. Unlike human loved ones who may finally feel tired of repeated complaints and push people to seek professional help, chatbots never get annoyed. They keep confirming users’ words without encouraging real therapy, so users keep returning to chatbots and their deep-seated problems remain unsolved.
Worse still, in clinical cases, patients’ unreasonable beliefs often become firmer after long conversations with chatbots. Chatbots usually follow users’ expressions and treat their delusional ideas (妄想观念) as reasonable topics to discuss instead of gently pointing out their wrong viewpoints, worsening their mental conditions.
The inventors remind people to think carefully about their purposes of using chatbots. If they just chat to kill loneliness or anxiety, they should avoid overusing them. Users need to tell whether a conversation brings new understanding or deepens a negative cycle. Only with self-awareness can AI be a helpful companion; otherwise, it will strengthen the negative thoughts people try to escape.
12. What long-term effect do AI chatbots have on anxious users?
A. They cause sudden mental diseases.
B. They keep users in negative cycles.
C. They offer effective short-term relief.
D. They reduce users’ desire for communication.
13. Why do many people turn to AI chatbots for comfort?
A. They are approachable and respond mildly.
B. They offer professional psychological advice.
C. Human friends ignore personal worries.
D. Online talks bring more personal safety.
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Chatbots may produce hidden mental risks for users.
B. Users tend to share complaints with chatbots.
C. Human loved ones are more helpful than chatbots.
D. Chatbots fail to address users’ real mental troubles.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards using chatbots for emotional comfort?
A. Fully supportive. B. Strongly critical.
C. Objective and cautious. D. Unconcerned and neutral.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了AI聊天机器人虽能暂时缓解焦虑,但长期使用会加剧负面情绪,需谨慎使用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though such replies ease anxiety briefly, they strengthen the habit of seeking comfort repeatedly and leave people more stuck over time, which is not helpful for forming healthy thinking patterns or a happier life. (尽管这样的回复能短暂缓解焦虑,但它们强化了反复寻求安慰的习惯,并让人随着时间的推移陷入更深的困境,这无助于形成健康的思维模式或更幸福的生活。)”可知,AI聊天机器人会让用户陷入消极循环。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Chatbots never laugh at, blame or ignore users; they are always available and respond warmly, patiently and supportively, making users feel comforted immediately. (聊天机器人从不嘲笑、责备或忽视用户;它们随时可用,并以温暖、耐心和支持的方式回应,让用户立即感到安慰。)”可知,人们转向AI聊天机器人寻求安慰是因为它们平易近人且回应温和。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Unlike human loved ones who may finally feel tired of repeated complaints and push people to seek professional help, chatbots never get annoyed. They keep confirming users’ words without encouraging real therapy, so users keep returning to chatbots and their deep-seated problems remain unsolved. (与人类亲人不同——他们最终可能会对反复的抱怨感到厌倦,并敦促人们去寻求专业帮助——聊天机器人从不感到厌烦。它们不断确认用户的话语,却不鼓励真正的治疗,因此用户不断回到聊天机器人那里,而他们内心深处的问题仍然得不到解决。)”可知,本段主要说明聊天机器人无法解决用户真正的心理问题。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“The inventors remind people to think carefully about their purposes of using chatbots. If they just chat to kill loneliness or anxiety, they should avoid overusing them. Users need to tell whether a conversation brings new understanding or deepens a negative cycle. Only with self-awareness can AI be a helpful companion; otherwise, it will strengthen the negative thoughts people try to escape. (发明者提醒人们仔细思考自己使用聊天机器人的目的。如果只是为了消解孤独或焦虑而聊天,就应该避免过度使用。用户需要分辨一段对话是带来了新的理解,还是加深了消极循环。只有具备自我意识,人工智能才能成为有帮助的伙伴;否则,它将强化人们试图逃离的消极想法。)”可知,作者既指出了聊天机器人能暂时缓解焦虑的优点,又强调了其带来的长期危害,并提醒人们要自我觉察、谨慎使用。因此作者的态度是客观且谨慎的。

【解析】
【导语】文章以热播剧《去有风的地方》带火云南大理白族村落为切入点,通过介绍村落的转型发展,展现乡村振兴战略的成效。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:被其田园诗般的风景和独特的习俗所吸引,越来越多的城市居民离开繁忙的城市生活,来这里体验乡村魅力。空格处应该用非谓语动词作原因状语,句子的主语more and more city residents与动词attract之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词Attracted,注意句首单词首字母大写。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个村庄曾经是一个空荡荡、日渐衰败的空心村,几乎没有年轻人,但随着国家乡村振兴战略的实施和电视剧的影响,它呈现出了新的面貌。空格处作定语,修饰下文的hollow one,需要用形容词形式;decline是动词,其形容词形式declining,表示“衰落的;下降的”,符合语境。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:得益于乡村振兴战略以及政府、企业和村民的共同努力,过去几年里这里发生了巨大的变化。空格处是谓语动词,时间状语in the past few years是现在完成时的标志,结构为“have/has+过去分词”,主语great changes是复数,所以填have taken。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:该村探索并形成了一种文化保护与生态旅游相结合的统一发展模式。根据空格后的单数名词mode可知,空格处应该用不定冠词,泛指“一种统一发展模式”,unified是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【40题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:它发展出了如此独特的风景和丰富的民俗,每年吸引着全国众多游客。空格处引导定语从句,先行词是unique scenery and rich folk customs,先行词前有such修饰,且关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词as。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:如今,当地的白族传统,包括扎染和古建筑,被创新性地保护和推广。空格处是谓语动词,句子的主语local Bai traditions与动词preserve之间是被动关系,且句子描述的是现在的情况,用一般现在时的被动语态,结构为“am/is/are+过去分词”,主语是复数,所以填are preserved。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:在社会的共同努力下,该村见证了文化创意产业的新现象,给当地人带来了更多的机会。phenomenon表示“现象”时是可数名词,此处指“新现象”,且没有限定词,所以用复数形式phenomena表示泛指。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:这种做法充分展示了传统文化与区域经济之间的紧密联系。between...and...是固定短语,意为“在……和……之间”,用来连接两个并列的名词,所以填between。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:村民们现在温柔地对待自己的家园,与自然和谐相处,珍惜土地和文化遗产。空格处修饰动词treat,需要用副词形式;gentle是形容词,其副词形式是gently,表示“温柔地;轻轻地”。
【45题详解】
考查连接代词。句意:这就是乡村振兴具有说服力、强大且值得学习的原因。空格处引导表语从句,在从句中作主语,指“……的事物”,所以用连接代词what。

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。
The rain beat heavily against the café’s old window. Naples had an old tradition “suspended coffee” (悬停咖啡): lucky customers paid for two coffees but drank one, leaving the other free for the poor. Luca wiped a cup restlessly, fingers brushing the counter, thinking, “Can I keep this tradition alive?” Since taking over his grandfather’s café, it had been empty; customers hurried by, ignoring the faded sign. His neighbor’s words rang: “This tradition is dead — focus on your business.” He frowned, doubt heavy in his heart.
Suddenly, a poorly-dressed old man walked unsteadily in, wet all over and shaking. “Excuse me... is there a suspended coffee here?” he asked quietly. Luca’s heart moved. He made a cup of hot espresso and pushed it to the old man, who held it with tears in his eyes and whispered “thank you” again and again. Luca felt a kind of satisfaction that money could not bring.
That evening, he repainted the “suspended coffee” sign, his hands moving gently as if he were protecting a precious treasure. From then on, he quietly prepared one coffee for those in need every day. Soon, a student left some extra coins, an office worker paid for two coffees, and more and more people joined in. The café became warm with kindness, and Luca often stood by the window, a soft smile on his face as he watched the small acts of kindness around him. One day, an unemployed father who had once got help here came back to reserve ten cups of coffee.
Luca smiled and understood his grandfather’s words: kindness never disappears. The rain stopped, and the sun shone on the bright sign. He knew that the suspended coffee was more than a tradition — it was a promise of warmth that would be passed on.
注意:

One afternoon, Luca received a letter and realized the true power of his small act of kindness.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As the days went by, the suspended coffee tradition spread far beyond the small café. More coffee shops along the old streets of Naples hung their own new “suspended coffee” signs, reviving this forgotten warm tradition. Travelers passing through the town would deliberately stop by, pay for an extra cup to leave their kindness. Even local bakeries and bookstores started similar initiatives: suspended bread for hungry homeless people, suspended books for teens who can’t afford them. The whole town was wrapped in soft warmth.
One afternoon, Luca received a letter and realized the true power of his small act of kindness. The letter was written by the first poor old man who had asked for a suspended coffee months before. He wrote that the hot cup of coffee gave him the courage to pull through his hardest time after losing his job and home. Now he had got back on his feet and donated his savings to set up a public fund to keep the suspended coffee tradition running across the whole city. “One small cup of warmth can light up a whole dark life,” he wrote at the end. Luca looked up at the bright sign shining in the sun, tears welling up in his eyes.

Urgent: Special Summer Outdoor Protection Notice
To many, sun hats are just casual daily wear...
But When Outside, This Hat May Keep You Safe from Heat Harm!
Lots of people suffer from sudden sunstroke when staying outdoors under strong summer sunlight. Uncomfortable heat injuries happen frequently. However, most people keep working and walking outdoors without proper protection against burning sunshine.
Not all sun hats are of the same quality. Guarding your head from heat is extremely important. With various beautiful and fashionable hat designs on the market, people easily ignore the most important part — the protective lining. Therefore, we have studied related data and adopted advanced thermal insulation (隔热) technology.
It comes from professional climate science research. Many ordinary sun hats only block sunlight weakly and cannot cut down harmful heat radiation. Now, independent research from environmental scientists has developed revolutionary heat-resistant technology to prevent high-temperature harm. This excellent material design was inspired by desert animals with natural heat resistance. This creation is now called Cool Guard®.
The only outdoor hat technology is recognized by Global Climate Protection Association for heat isolation and sun protection. Its double-layer insulation structure blocks 99.8% of burning sunlight and reduces surface temperature greatly, with extra protection against ultraviolet rays (紫外线).
Top-quality daily supplies: Buy one, get one FREE! Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with Cool Guard® hats, just return one pair within 30 days for a complete refund. The other hat is free for you forever.

Felicity Irons is widely known as Britain’s last master of traditional rush weaving, an ancient handicraft on the edge of disappearance. Centuries ago, rush weaving used to be a widespread industry across Europe. People made baskets, mats and daily necessities with dry water plants. However, with the rise of plastic products and mass machine production in modern times, the old craft gradually faded out of people’s lives. Few young people were willing to learn the time-consuming skill, and most old craftsmen retired.
Felicity’s connection with the craft began unexpectedly. She suffered a serious car accident in her youth, which left her with permanent back pain. She needed a job that allowed her to stand and focus calmly. By chance, she discovered the nearly-lost art of rush weaving. With no teacher available, she taught herself from ancient handbooks, repeating every single step thousands of times.
For over forty years, Felicity has stuck to her small countryside workshop, far from busy cities. Unlike most modern businessmen who chase quick profits, she firmly refuses commercial simplification. She never uses cheap artificial materials, nor cuts down traditional procedures for mass production. Each of her works takes days to complete by hand. Though her income remains low and public attention is scarce, she never regrets her choice.
She believes handcrafts carry the soul of history. Rush weaving is more than making objects; it is a precious cultural memory passed down from generations. To prevent the craft from dying out completely, she opens free workshops to teach local teenagers, recording all traditional skills in detail.
Modern society values fast speed and cheap goods, but Felicity proves that true craftsmanship never goes out of date. Her lifelong persistence guards the dying tradition, telling the world that old arts deserve respect and continuous inheritance.
4. Why did Felicity Irons take up rush weaving eventually?
A. She inherited the traditional skill from her family.
B. Her physical condition matched the nature of the craft.
C. She expected to gain fame from the rare handicraft.
D. She had no other practical job choices at that time.
5. What differs Felicity from other modern crafts-related businessmen?
A. She prefers advanced equipment to improve efficiency.
B. She moves to urban workshops for wider market access.
C. She rejects commercial changes to preserve ancient rules.
D. She raises prices slightly to increase personal income.
6. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Felicity’s free teaching workshops?
A. To show teenagers’ growing interest in traditional culture.
B. To explain the practical value of daily hand-made products.
C. To compare the differences between ancient and modern education.
D. To present her efforts to maintain the continuity of the old craft.
7. What can we infer about true craftsmanship from the whole passage?
A. Long devotion matters more than immediate gains in craftsmanship.
B. Commercial support contributes much to the survival of traditional skills.
C. Public admiration helps traditional arts develop in modern society.
D. Natural materials lay a basic foundation for hand-made creations.
C
Utah’s Great Salt Lake is shrinking alarmingly. Once 3,300 square miles, an area equal to Rhode Island and Delaware combined, it has shrunk to under 900 square miles, its smallest on record. The U. S. Geological Survey notes its July 2022 level hit 1,277 meters, the lowest measurement since 1847. “Human water extraction (提取), mainly for agriculture, is key, with climate change secondary,” says John Lin, a University of Utah atmospheric science professor.
The drying of the lake threatens both the environment and human health. As the water level drops, it exposes beds rich in arsenic (砷), where the arsenic content is higher than the limits set by the EPA. Though only 9% of exposed beds emit toxic (有毒的) dust when disturbed, winds carry it to the Wasatch Front, home to 2.6 million residents. What’s worse, breathing this air can cause asthma, heart disease, higher cancer risk.
The lake’s disappearance will destroy a key global ecosystem. Over 10 million migratory birds, including 34 species like American avocets, rely on it yearly. Tiny brine shrimp, 6 to 15 millimeters long, sustain the food chain and feed over 90% of these birds. Without the lake, many lose habitat, disrupting balance. It also sustains Utah’s water: its evaporation contributes 10% of mountain snowfall, providing 1.2 billion gallons of freshwater for daily use, farming and industry.
Saving the lake needs joint efforts. Citizens must cut water use — replacing wasteful lawns saves 50 gallons per square foot yearly. Farmers should grow drought-tolerant crops and boost irrigation efficiency from 60% to over 80%. Most importantly, the state must enforce strict water-saving laws, fund protection with $200 million annually, and redirect more water to the lake.
This crisis shows environmental protection is necessary. The Great Salt Lake’s fate links human activities to natural health. Respecting nature and taking action now can prevent long-term disasters and protect our future.
8. What do we know about Utah’s Great Salt Lake from the first paragraph?
A. It covers 3,300 square miles at present.
B. It is now larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
C. Climate change is the main cause of its shrinkage.
D. Its water level in July 2022 was the lowest in over 170 years.
9. What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in paragraph 2?
A. An exposed arsenic-rich bed.
B. The polluted lake water.
C. The poisonous dust from the exposed beds.
D. The wind blowing over the lake.
10. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. Brine shrimp are the unique food source for migratory birds.
B. The lake is a major contributor to Utah’s freshwater supply.
C. 34 species of migratory birds will disappear without the lake.
D. The lake’s evaporation reduces mountain snowfall by 10%.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Utah’s Great Salt Lake: A Growing Crisis
B. The Causes of Utah’s Great Salt Lake Shrinkage
C. Protect Utah’s Great Salt Lake Together
D. The Relationship Between Humans and Nature

As the use of large language models like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini has grown rapidly, chatbots have been found to strengthen users’ illusions and amplify (放大) negative thoughts, even pushing some toward suicide. More commonly, AI chatbots comfort and reassure anxious users who repeatedly ask the same questions for relief. Though such replies ease anxiety briefly, they strengthen the habit of seeking comfort repeatedly and leave people more stuck over time, which is not helpful for forming healthy thinking patterns or a happier life.
Many people now turn to chatbots for emotional support instead of family, friends or therapists (治疗专家), worries clinical doctors. However, it is easy to understand this trend, when suffering from anxiety or disturbing thoughts, people prefer talking to a computer. Chatbots never laugh at, blame or ignore users; they are always available and respond warmly, patiently and supportively, making users feel comforted immediately.
Yet these advantages bring clear harms. Unlike human loved ones who may finally feel tired of repeated complaints and push people to seek professional help, chatbots never get annoyed. They keep confirming users’ words without encouraging real therapy, so users keep returning to chatbots and their deep-seated problems remain unsolved.
Worse still, in clinical cases, patients’ unreasonable beliefs often become firmer after long conversations with chatbots. Chatbots usually follow users’ expressions and treat their delusional ideas (妄想观念) as reasonable topics to discuss instead of gently pointing out their wrong viewpoints, worsening their mental conditions.
The inventors remind people to think carefully about their purposes of using chatbots. If they just chat to kill loneliness or anxiety, they should avoid overusing them. Users need to tell whether a conversation brings new understanding or deepens a negative cycle. Only with self-awareness can AI be a helpful companion; otherwise, it will strengthen the negative thoughts people try to escape.

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。
The rain beat heavily against the café’s old window. Naples had an old tradition “suspended coffee” (悬停咖啡): lucky customers paid for two coffees but drank one, leaving the other free for the poor. Luca wiped a cup restlessly, fingers brushing the counter, thinking, “Can I keep this tradition alive?” Since taking over his grandfather’s café, it had been empty; customers hurried by, ignoring the faded sign. His neighbor’s words rang: “This tradition is dead — focus on your business.” He frowned, doubt heavy in his heart.
Suddenly, a poorly-dressed old man walked unsteadily in, wet all over and shaking. “Excuse me... is there a suspended coffee here?” he asked quietly. Luca’s heart moved. He made a cup of hot espresso and pushed it to the old man, who held it with tears in his eyes and whispered “thank you” again and again. Luca felt a kind of satisfaction that money could not bring.
That evening, he repainted the “suspended coffee” sign, his hands moving gently as if he were protecting a precious treasure. From then on, he quietly prepared one coffee for those in need every day. Soon, a student left some extra coins, an office worker paid for two coffees, and more and more people joined in. The café became warm with kindness, and Luca often stood by the window, a soft smile on his face as he watched the small acts of kindness around him. One day, an unemployed father who had once got help here came back to reserve ten cups of coffee.
Luca smiled and understood his grandfather’s words: kindness never disappears. The rain stopped, and the sun shone on the bright sign. He knew that the suspended coffee was more than a tradition — it was a promise of warmth that would be passed on.
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。
As the days went by, the suspended coffee tradition spread far beyond the small café.

One afternoon, Luca received a letter and realized the true power of his small act of kindness.
