Upper Peninsula, Michigan Surrounded by untouched wilderness and the Great Lakes, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula features little light pollution and hundreds of miles of clear north-facing views along Lake Superior’s shoreline. For prime Northern Lights spotting territory, set up your tripod (三脚架) at Keweenaw Dark Sky Park, which holds star viewing workshops and events year-round. Northern lights season here is between October and April. Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard, a Norwegian island between the mainland and the North Pole, is the only inhabited destination in the world where you can witness the northern lights at any time of day. Head to Svalbard during Polar Night — the country’s longest dark season — which lasts a full 113 days between November and January. With so many hours spent in darkness, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for aurora chasing (极光追逐). Abisko, Sweden Live out your Frozen-inspired Scandinavian fairy tale in northern Sweden by first staying in the world’s original Ieehotel and then heading 70 miles northwest to Abisko National Park, Sweden’s top spot for the northern lights. The position of mountains on both sides of the park creates a microclimate, gathering most clouds, rain, and snow, and creating the so-called “blue hole over Abisko,” where the Northern Lights appear on a near-nightly basis during peak season between September and March. Fairbanks, Alaska Low rainfall and an inland location contribute to countless, clear winter nights, and excellent viewing throughout a lengthy aurora season from August 21 through April 21 in Fairbanks, Alaska. Just outside the city lie several must-do lookout points like Cleary Summit, which even has its own comfortable Aurora Watching Hotel. Alternatively, head to one of greater Fairbanks’s hot spring resorts to soak (浸泡) while enjoying the aurora scene. 1. Where can you enjoy the northern light s all day long? A. Upper Peninsula, Michigan. B. Svalbard, Norway. C. Abisko, Sweden. D. Fairbanks, Alaska. 2. When is the best time to visit Abisko National Park for the northern lights? A. September to March. B. August to April. C. November to January. D. October to April. 3. Who would most likely be interested in visiting Cleary Summit? A. Tourists exploring microclimate. B. Starviewers attending workshops. C. People intending to bathe in hot springs. D. Aurora chasers seeking a pleasant accommodation. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍四处全球绝佳极光观赏地，分别说明各地地理优势、观赏时段与特色看点，各地极光观赏条件各具优势，能为极光爱好者带来不同观景体验。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Svalbard, Norway部分“Svalbard, a Norwegian island between the mainland and the North Pole, is the only inhabited destination in the world where you can witness the northern lights at any time of day.(Svalbard是挪威大陆和北极之间的一个岛屿，是世界上唯一一个可以在一天中的任何时段看到北极光的有人居住的目的地)”可知，挪威的斯瓦尔巴群岛可以全年全天观赏北极光。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Abisko, Sweden部分“The position of mountains on both sides of the park creates a microclimate, gathering most clouds, rain, and snow, and creating the so-called “blue hole over Abisko,” where the Northern Lights appear on a near-nightly basis during peak season between September and March.(公园两侧的山脉位置形成了一个微气候环境，聚集了大量的云、雨和雪，从而形成了所谓的“阿比斯科蓝洞”。在每年9月至3月的旅游旺季期间，这里几乎每晚都能看到北极光)”可知，参观Abisko国家公园欣赏北极光的最佳时间是九月至三月。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Fairbanks, Alaska部分“Just outside the city lie several must-do lookout points like Cleary Summit, which even has its own comfortable Aurora Watching Hotel.(城市之外分布着几个不容错过的观景胜地，比如克莱里山峰，那里甚至还有专门供游客住宿的“极光观景酒店”)”可知，寻找舒适住宿的极光追逐者最有可能对参观Cleary峰感兴趣。 B It all started when she was young. Dr. Mahalaxmi Iyer always knew she wanted to be a doctor. And once she became a doctor, she felt her work should be the kind that would leave a mark. Though her career as a doctor certainly helped others, within 10 months, she lost both her parents when she was in her mid-30s, which brought a sinking feeling — she had not been able to do enough for them. The idea that looking after other seniors would help ease the sorrow of her own losses gave Iyer a renewed focus. She sold her home, and invested all her life’s savings to start Balaji Healthcare, a multi-speciality hospital and elder care home. The 100-bed facility that opened its doors in 2011 with four patients has grown to accommodate 74 residents. Many of them have illnesses which require full-time, expert care that families are unable to provide. Together with her staff, Iyer takes care of the residents’ daily healthcare needs, and other specialists visit to aid treatment. “I faced many barriers. But there are many people who will also offer support,” Iyer says, referring to the financial troubles she faced while setting up the facility. The difficulties only eased by 2015 when well-wishers stepped up to support the initiative. It doesn’t run like a charity, Iyer stresses, but doesn’t charge too much either, often footing additional medical bills itself before charging the families. The model works. And we provide patients with a warm, reliable home. Today, a decade after the facility was set up, Iyer takes great comfort in the fact that it isn’t just providing a sense of security to residents and their families but also to the staff, most of whom are from neighbouring villages and largely female benefiting from it. Many of them are now able to afford two-wheelers, their own house, and better education for their children. 4. What motivated Iyer to start Balaji Healthcare? A. To earn more money for her family. B. To provide free medical care for the poor. C. To relieve the sorrow of losing her parents. D. To fulfill her childhood dream of being a doctor. 5. How does the financial model of Balaji Healthcare work? A. It operates as a pure charity. B. It charges high fees to cover all costs. C. It balances affordability and sustainability. D. It relies entirely on donations from well-wishers. 6. What can we learn about the facility from the last paragraph? A. It secures a comfortable life for Iyer. B. Its staff are provided with an accommodation. C. It has contributed to local women economically. D. Its residents are rarely from neighbouring villages. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. Struggling to Live a Meaning Life B. The Challenges of Starting a Hospital C. The Importance of Elder Care in Modern Society D. Turnıng Personal Loss into a Mission to Help Others 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Mahalaxmi Iyer因失去双亲，创办养老院将个人悲痛转化为关爱老人的事业。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though her career as a doctor certainly helped others, within 10 months, she lost both her parents when she was in her mid-30s, which brought a sinking feeling — she had not been able to do enough for them.(虽然她的医生职业生涯确实帮助了他人，但在她35岁左右的10个月内，她失去了双亲，这带来了一种沉痛的感觉——她没能为他们做足够多的事情)”以及第二段首句“The idea that looking after other seniors would help ease the sorrow of her own losses gave Iyer a renewed focus.(照顾其他老人有助于缓解她自身丧亲之痛的想法，给了Iyer一个新的重心)”可知，她创办Balaji Healthcare的动机是为了缓解失去父母的悲痛。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It doesn’t run like a charity, Iyer stresses, but doesn’t charge too much either, often footing additional medical bills itself before charging the families. The model works.(Iyer强调，它不是作为慈善机构运营，但收费也不高，通常在向家属收费之前会自行承担额外的医疗费用。这种模式是可行的)”可知，该机构的财务模式既不过分收费，也不完全依赖慈善，平衡了可负担性和可持续性。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, a decade after the facility was set up, Iyer takes great comfort in the fact that it isn’t just providing a sense of security to residents and their families but also to the staff, most of whom are from neighbouring villages and largely female benefiting from it. Many of them are now able to afford two-wheelers, their own house, and better education for their children.(如今，在该机构成立十年后，Iyer感到非常欣慰，因为它不仅为居民及其家属，也为员工提供了安全感，其中大多数员工来自邻近村庄，主要是女性，她们从中受益。她们中的许多人现在买得起两轮车、拥有了自己的房子，并能让孩子接受更好的教育)”可知，该机构在经济上帮助了当地女性。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章讲述了Iyer医生在失去父母后，将个人悲痛转化为创办老年护理机构、帮助他人的使命。D选项“将个人损失转化为帮助他人的使命”最能概括全文主旨。 C The age-old question of whether choice or effort holds greater significance in achieving success has generated countless debates. While some argue that effort is the cornerstone of achievement, others claim that the ability to make strategic choices is vital. Effort, without a doubt, is the engine that drives progress. The saying “no pain, no gain” rings true in countless success stories. Hard work and commitment are essential qualities that separate those who achieve from those who merely wish. Effort is the consistent application of willpower toward a goal, and it is this application that bridges the gap between intention and realization. However, the direction in which effort is applied is equally crucial, if not more so. This is where choice comes into play. A person can employ maximum effort in a field, but without a strategic choice, their efforts may produce minimal results. For instance, an individual might work tirelessly in a declining industry, but his hard work will likely be overshadowed by the industry's unavoidable downturn. On the contrary, someone who chooses a dynamic and growing field with a passion for it can achieve remarkable success with comparatively less effort. The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort significantly. A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation, making the effort more meaningful and productive. For example, a student choosing a major that agrees with his interests and strengths will likely put in more effort and perform better than one who is forced into a field he dislikes. This encourages a deeper engagement. In addition, the sense of purpose generated by pursuing a meaningful personal path often translates into greater power in the face of setbacks, which is invaluable in both professional and personal fields. As I see it, while effort is undoubtedly a critical factor in achieving success, the importance of choice cannot be overstated. Effort is the vehicle, but choice is the compass (罗盘) that guides it. Without a strategic direction, effort may lead to exhaustion without accomplishment. 8. What is the role of effort in achieving success? A. It helps establish the right goals. B. It separates the types of success. C. It is the motor that promotes advancement. D. It ensures the positive attitude to hardships. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Wise choices can boost the effect of effort. B. Declining industries should be avoided at all costs. C. Hard work guarantees success in growing industries. D. One should pursue maximum success with minimal effort. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Making choices is more demanding than sustaining effort. B. People should avoid making choices to stop wasting effort. C. Good choices contribute greatly to individual development. D. Students are strongly recommended to choose popular majors. 11. What’s the author’s opinion about effort and choice? A. Effort is the only decisive factor. B. Over-effort leads to losing direction. C. Choice determines the level of efforts. D. Both are vital with choice guiding effort. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要围绕成功路上选择与努力孰轻孰重展开探讨，分析二者作用并阐明作者对此的个人观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Effort, without a doubt, is the engine that drives progress.(毫无疑问，努力是推动进步的动力。)”可知，努力在获取成功的过程中，是助力发展进步的推动力。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort significantly.(做出明智且战略性选择的能力，能够大幅放大努力带来的成效。)”可知，第三段主要讲述明智的选择可以提升努力的实际效果。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation, making the effort more meaningful and productive.(选择合适的道路能够凝聚专注力、激发动力，让付出的努力更有意义、收获实效。)”以及下文列举的事例可知，恰当的选择能够极大地助力个人成长与发展。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Effort is the vehicle, but choice is the compass (罗盘) that guides it. Without a strategic direction, effort may lead to exhaustion without accomplishment.(努力是前行的工具，而选择是指引方向的罗盘。缺少战略方向，付出再多心力也只会徒劳疲惫，难有所成。)”可知，努力和选择都至关重要。 D Flashy, high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment — but are falling far short of expectations. Now a growing number of scientists are trying a much simpler approach: collecting truckloads of logs, branches and sawdust and burying them. The concept of wood burial is straightforward: instead of constructing massive machines to collect atmospheric carbon dioxide and put it miles down into the Earth, people simply shift materials from Earth’s fast-paced biological carbon cycle into the much-slower geological (地质的) carbon cycle. “Every year, plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil (化石) fuel release. But almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die,” says Ning Zeng, a University of Maryland climate scientist, who has been a leader in a related field for two decades and was not involved in the new research. However, if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt — where bacteria no longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood — none or very little of it is released. If even a small number of woody pieces that decompose aboveground each year were treated this way, it would be easier to achieve the 10 billion tons per year of carbon that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agrees must be achieved by 2050 in order to keep the planet’s temperature rise to less than 2℃. Trees in logging-focused forests take up roughly 170 billion tons of carbon every year, 14 billion tons of which finds its way into wood. The researchers say that all of this wood eventually ends up being wasted in one form or another. If all this wood could be collected and buried instead of burned or allowed to decompose, those 14 billion tons of carbon would be safely removed every year. And according to the research team’s models, that would remove a grand total of at least 770 billion tons from the atmosphere by 2100, turning the global temperature down by at least 0.352℃. 12. What are the high-tech proposals like in the first paragraph? A. Complicated but promising. B. Less effective than expected. C. More advanced than imagined. D. Cost-saving and widely applied. 13. What do Ning Zeng’s words show? A. Burying wood is a way to handle the carbon problem. B. The plant life cycle is a major contributor to carbon release. C. Fossil fuel release is a source of carbon absorption by plants. D. Carbon absorbed by plants is permanently stored in their bodies. 14. How does wood burial prevent carbon from being released? A. By speeding up the biological carbon cycle. B. By providing enough oxygen for bacteria to work. C. By constructing massive machines to process wood. D. By creating an oxygen-lacking environment underground. 15. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to? A. The decomposition of wood aboveground. B. The process of collecting and burning wood. C. The research teams model about carbon reduction. D. The action of collecting and burying all wasted wood. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍科学家采用木材掩埋的简易固碳方式；阐释该原理是将碳从快速生物循环转入缓慢地质循环，隔绝氧气抑制木材分解以锁住二氧化碳，同时测算出大规模掩埋废弃木材能大幅降低大气碳含量、减缓全球升温。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Flashy, high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment — but are falling far short of expectations.(那些宣称能在污染物进入大气层前将其清除的炫酷高科技方案，虽吸引了关注与投资，实际效果却远不及预期。)”可知，第一段中的高科技方案实际效果达不到预期。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Every year, plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil fuel release. But almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die.(每年植物吸收的碳量是化石燃料排放量的六倍。但随着树叶凋零、树木枯死，这些碳几乎又全部重回大气之中。)”可知，曾宁的话语说明了植物的自然循环是碳释放的一个主要因素。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt — where bacteria no longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood — none or very little of it is released.(然而，如果二氧化碳埋在几码深的泥土下——细菌不再有分解木材所需的氧气——那么它就不会或几乎不会被释放出来。)”可知，木材通过创造一个地下缺氧环境来阻止碳释放。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If all this wood could be collected and buried instead of burned or allowed to decompose, those 14 billion tons of carbon would be safely removed every year.(如果将这些木材全部收集掩埋，而非焚烧或任其腐烂，每年就能稳定封存140亿吨碳。)”可知，“that”指代的是“收集并掩埋所有废弃木材”这一行动。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With winter drawing near, people may be turning their heat back on, increasing the risk of home fires. ____16____ Space heaters are responsible for almost 30% of these fires.

Next door, Mr. Patel and his family moved in six months ago, bringing with them a love for gardening that Mrs. Henderson initially appreciated. One day, Mrs. Henderson noticed Mr. Patel’s young son, Aryan, playing near the fence that separated their properties. She watched as the little kid reached through the fence and picked a few rosebuds (玫瑰花蕾) from her roses. Mrs. Henderson’s heart sank. These roses were special —they had been planted by her late husband. Without thinking, she opened the window and shouted, “Put that back, young man! Those are my roses!” Aryan was frightened, dropping the rosebuds and bursting into tears. Mrs. Henderson felt a bit of guilt but remained firm. “Go tell your father to keep his son out of my garden!” Mr. Patel heard the noise and came over. He turned to Mrs. Henderson. “What’s the matter, Mrs. Henderson?” “He took my roses!” Mrs. Henderson pointed to the rosebuds. “You need to teach your child some respect.” Mr. Patel’s expression hardened. “I’ll handle my son, but a child’s curiosity is natural.” Mrs. Henderson crossed her arms. “Natural or not, it’s my property. If you can’t control your child, maybe you shouldn’t have moved here.” The words hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Mr. Patel’s face turned red with anger. “You're being unreasonable. I’ll make sure Aryan stays away, but I won’t tolerate your cruelty.” With that, he walked away, Aryan still weeping in his arms. Mrs. Henderson closed the window, feeling a mix of regret and firmness. She knew she had overreacted, but the thought of her roses being damaged was too much to bear. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Mrs. Henderson woke to find a small package on her doorstep. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Patel opened the door, where stood Mrs. Henderson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Mrs. Henderson woke to find a small package on her doorstep. Inside was a beautifully crafted wooden plate, marked with the words “Sorry for the trouble” and some fresh rosebuds. A note attached read: “Mrs. Henderson, I hope this makes up for yesterday. Aryan and I want to be good neighbors. — Mr. Patel.” Mrs. Henderson’s heart softened. She had been so focused on her roses that she had forgotten the bigger picture — community and understanding. That afternoon, she went next door with a plate of freshly baked cookies. Mr. Patel opened the door, where stood Mrs. Henderson. Mrs. Henderson smiled. “I brought this as a peace offering. I apologize for yesterday. I shouldn’t have spoken like that.” Mr. Patel responded, “Thank you. I appreciate it.” They decided to find a way to share the garden without any misunderstandings. Mrs. Henderson would plant roses along the fence, while Mr. Patel could plant as he wished on his side. Mrs. Henderson realized fences were meant to separate, but gardens and neighbors were meant to bring people together. The roses were a bridge, not a barrier. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了亨德森夫人十分珍视已故丈夫栽种的玫瑰园，新邻居帕特尔一家同样喜爱园艺。一日帕特尔的儿子阿伦出于好奇采摘她家玫瑰花蕾，亨德森夫人情绪激动厉声呵斥，双方就此发生争执，言语刺伤彼此，邻里关系陷入僵局，事后亨德森夫人也心生懊悔。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写帕特尔先生送来致歉礼物，亨德森夫人内心释怀。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写亨德森夫人登门道歉，二人化解矛盾，商定划分区域共用庭院以及亨德森夫人的感悟。 2.续写线索：帕特尔先生到爱你——亨德森夫人内心释怀——亨德森夫人登门道歉——二人化解矛盾——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中精力于：focus on/concentrate on ②决定做某事：decide to do sth./make up one’s mind to do sth. 情绪类 ①抱歉的：sorry/regretful ②感谢：thank/be grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She had been so focused on her roses that she had forgotten the bigger picture — community and understanding.（运用了so…that…引导结果状语从句） [高分句型2] Mrs. Henderson realized fences were meant to separate, but gardens and neighbors were meant to bring people together.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟试题 英语 本试卷共8页，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项：1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Upper Peninsula, Michigan Surrounded by untouched wilderness and the Great Lakes, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula features little light pollution and hundreds of miles of clear north-facing views along Lake Superior’s shoreline. For prime Northern Lights spotting territory, set up your tripod (三脚架) at Keweenaw Dark Sky Park, which holds star viewing workshops and events year-round. Northern lights season here is between October and April. Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard, a Norwegian island between the mainland and the North Pole, is the only inhabited destination in the world where you can witness the northern lights at any time of day. Head to Svalbard during Polar Night — the country’s longest dark season — which lasts a full 113 days between November and January. With so many hours spent in darkness, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for aurora chasing (极光追逐). Abisko, Sweden Live out your Frozen-inspired Scandinavian fairy tale in northern Sweden by first staying in the world’s original Ieehotel and then heading 70 miles northwest to Abisko National Park, Sweden’s top spot for the northern lights. The position of mountains on both sides of the park creates a microclimate, gathering most clouds, rain, and snow, and creating the so-called “blue hole over Abisko,” where the Northern Lights appear on a near-nightly basis during peak season between September and March. Fairbanks, Alaska Low rainfall and an inland location contribute to countless, clear winter nights, and excellent viewing throughout a lengthy aurora season from August 21 through April 21 in Fairbanks, Alaska. Just outside the city lie several must-do lookout points like Cleary Summit, which even has its own comfortable Aurora Watching Hotel. Alternatively, head to one of greater Fairbanks’s hot spring resorts to soak (浸泡) while enjoying the aurora scene. 1. Where can you enjoy the northern light s all day long? A. Upper Peninsula, Michigan. B. Svalbard, Norway. C. Abisko, Sweden. D. Fairbanks, Alaska. 2. When is the best time to visit Abisko National Park for the northern lights? A. September to March. B. August to April. C. November to January. D. October to April. 3. Who would most likely be interested in visiting Cleary Summit? A. Tourists exploring microclimate. B. Starviewers attending workshops. C. People intending to bathe in hot springs. D. Aurora chasers seeking a pleasant accommodation. B It all started when she was young. Dr. Mahalaxmi Iyer always knew she wanted to be a doctor. And once she became a doctor, she felt her work should be the kind that would leave a mark. Though her career as a doctor certainly helped others, within 10 months, she lost both her parents when she was in her mid-30s, which brought a sinking feeling — she had not been able to do enough for them. The idea that looking after other seniors would help ease the sorrow of her own losses gave Iyer a renewed focus. She sold her home, and invested all her life’s savings to start Balaji Healthcare, a multi-speciality hospital and elder care home. The 100-bed facility that opened its doors in 2011 with four patients has grown to accommodate 74 residents. Many of them have illnesses which require full-time, expert care that families are unable to provide. Together with her staff, Iyer takes care of the residents’ daily healthcare needs, and other specialists visit to aid treatment. “I faced many barriers. But there are many people who will also offer support,” Iyer says, referring to the financial troubles she faced while setting up the facility. The difficulties only eased by 2015 when well-wishers stepped up to support the initiative. It doesn’t run like a charity, Iyer stresses, but doesn’t charge too much either, often footing additional medical bills itself before charging the families. The model works. And we provide patients with a warm, reliable home. Today, a decade after the facility was set up, Iyer takes great comfort in the fact that it isn’t just providing a sense of security to residents and their families but also to the staff, most of whom are from neighbouring villages and largely female benefiting from it. Many of them are now able to afford two-wheelers, their own house, and better education for their children. 4. What motivated Iyer to start Balaji Healthcare? A. To earn more money for her family. B. To provide free medical care for the poor. C. To relieve the sorrow of losing her parents. D. To fulfill her childhood dream of being a doctor. 5. How does the financial model of Balaji Healthcare work? A. It operates as a pure charity. B. It charges high fees to cover all costs. C. It balances affordability and sustainability. D. It relies entirely on donations from well-wishers. 6. What can we learn about the facility from the last paragraph? A. It secures a comfortable life for Iyer. B. Its staff are provided with an accommodation. C. It has contributed to local women economically. D. Its residents are rarely from neighbouring villages. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. Struggling to Live a Meaning Life B. The Challenges of Starting a Hospital C. The Importance of Elder Care in Modern Society D. Turnıng Personal Loss into a Mission to Help Others C The age-old question of whether choice or effort holds greater significance in achieving success has generated countless debates. While some argue that effort is the cornerstone of achievement, others claim that the ability to make strategic choices is vital. Effort, without a doubt, is the engine that drives progress. The saying “no pain, no gain” rings true in countless success stories. Hard work and commitment are essential qualities that separate those who achieve from those who merely wish. Effort is the consistent application of willpower toward a goal, and it is this application that bridges the gap between intention and realization. However, the direction in which effort is applied is equally crucial, if not more so. This is where choice comes into play. A person can employ maximum effort in a field, but without a strategic choice, their efforts may produce minimal results. For instance, an individual might work tirelessly in a declining industry, but his hard work will likely be overshadowed by the industry's unavoidable downturn. On the contrary, someone who chooses a dynamic and growing field with a passion for it can achieve remarkable success with comparatively less effort. The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort significantly. A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation, making the effort more meaningful and productive. For example, a student choosing a major that agrees with his interests and strengths will likely put in more effort and perform better than one who is forced into a field he dislikes. This encourages a deeper engagement. In addition, the sense of purpose generated by pursuing a meaningful personal path often translates into greater power in the face of setbacks, which is invaluable in both professional and personal fields. As I see it, while effort is undoubtedly a critical factor in achieving success, the importance of choice cannot be overstated. Effort is the vehicle, but choice is the compass (罗盘) that guides it. Without a strategic direction, effort may lead to exhaustion without accomplishment. 8. What is the role of effort in achieving success? A. It helps establish the right goals. B. It separates the types of success. C. It is the motor that promotes advancement. D. It ensures the positive attitude to hardships. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Wise choices can boost the effect of effort. B. Declining industries should be avoided at all costs. C. Hard work guarantees success in growing industries. D. One should pursue maximum success with minimal effort. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Making choices is more demanding than sustaining effort. B. People should avoid making choices to stop wasting effort. C. Good choices contribute greatly to individual development. D. Students are strongly recommended to choose popular majors. 11. What’s the author’s opinion about effort and choice? A. Effort is the only decisive factor. B. Over-effort leads to losing direction. C. Choice determines the level of efforts. D. Both are vital with choice guiding effort. D Flashy, high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment — but are falling far short of expectations. Now a growing number of scientists are trying a much simpler approach: collecting truckloads of logs, branches and sawdust and burying them. The concept of wood burial is straightforward: instead of constructing massive machines to collect atmospheric carbon dioxide and put it miles down into the Earth, people simply shift materials from Earth’s fast-paced biological carbon cycle into the much-slower geological (地质的) carbon cycle. “Every year, plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil (化石) fuel release. But almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die,” says Ning Zeng, a University of Maryland climate scientist, who has been a leader in a related field for two decades and was not involved in the new research. However, if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt — where bacteria no longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood — none or very little of it is released. If even a small number of woody pieces that decompose aboveground each year were treated this way, it would be easier to achieve the 10 billion tons per year of carbon that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agrees must be achieved by 2050 in order to keep the planet’s temperature rise to less than 2℃. Trees in logging-focused forests take up roughly 170 billion tons of carbon every year, 14 billion tons of which finds its way into wood. The researchers say that all of this wood eventually ends up being wasted in one form or another. If all this wood could be collected and buried instead of burned or allowed to decompose, those 14 billion tons of carbon would be safely removed every year. And according to the research team’s models, that would remove a grand total of at least 770 billion tons from the atmosphere by 2100, turning the global temperature down by at least 0.352℃. 12. What are the high-tech proposals like in the first paragraph? A. Complicated but promising. B. Less effective than expected. C. More advanced than imagined. D. Cost-saving and widely applied. 13. What do Ning Zeng’s words show? A. Burying wood is a way to handle the carbon problem. B. The plant life cycle is a major contributor to carbon release. C. Fossil fuel release is a source of carbon absorption by plants. D. Carbon absorbed by plants is permanently stored in their bodies. 14. How does wood burial prevent carbon from being released? A. By speeding up the biological carbon cycle. B. By providing enough oxygen for bacteria to work. C. By constructing massive machines to process wood. D.

Next door, Mr. Patel and his family moved in six months ago, bringing with them a love for gardening that Mrs. Henderson initially appreciated. One day, Mrs. Henderson noticed Mr. Patel’s young son, Aryan, playing near the fence that separated their properties. She watched as the little kid reached through the fence and picked a few rosebuds (玫瑰花蕾) from her roses. Mrs. Henderson’s heart sank. These roses were special —they had been planted by her late husband. Without thinking, she opened the window and shouted, “Put that back, young man! Those are my roses!” Aryan was frightened, dropping the rosebuds and bursting into tears. Mrs. Henderson felt a bit of guilt but remained firm. “Go tell your father to keep his son out of my garden!” Mr. Patel heard the noise and came over. He turned to Mrs. Henderson. “What’s the matter, Mrs. Henderson?” “He took my roses!” Mrs. Henderson pointed to the rosebuds. “You need to teach your child some respect.” Mr. Patel’s expression hardened. “I’ll handle my son, but a child’s curiosity is natural.” Mrs. Henderson crossed her arms. “Natural or not, it’s my property. If you can’t control your child, maybe you shouldn’t have moved here.” The words hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Mr. Patel’s face turned red with anger. “You're being unreasonable. I’ll make sure Aryan stays away, but I won’t tolerate your cruelty.” With that, he walked away, Aryan still weeping in his arms. Mrs. Henderson closed the window, feeling a mix of regret and firmness. She knew she had overreacted, but the thought of her roses being damaged was too much to bear. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Mrs. Henderson woke to find a small package on her doorstep. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Patel opened the door, where stood Mrs. Henderson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
