Traveling makes people encounter diverse cultures and stunning sights across the globe. From ancient wonders to natural beauties, these four destinations stand out as must-visit spots for travelers worldwide.
Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious monument and a true treasure of ancient architecture. Built for Hindu gods and later turned into a Buddhist temple, its detailed stone carvings tell stories of ancient myths. Surrounded by peaceful ponds that reflect its grand silhouette at sunrise, it draws millions of visitors yearly who come to admire its historical charm and architectural greatness. After exploring the temple, visitors can also enjoy local flavors or relax by nearby waterfalls.
Acadia National Park in Maine, USA.
Acadia National Park is a paradise for nature lovers and the oldest national park east of the Mississippi River. Covering 14,000 hectares on Mount Desert Island, it boasts Cadillac Mountain — the first spot in the US touched by morning sunlight. With rocky coastlines, lush forests, and over 300 bird species, it offers hiking, biking and swimming in the clear Atlantic. The famous Bubble Rock, a giant glacial boulder threatening to crash down at any moment, is a fun photo spot that amazes visitors with its precarious location.
Istanbul, Turkey’s iconic city.
Istanbul straddles both Europe and Asia, making it a living museum of history. As the former capital of three great empires, it houses legendary sites like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, known for their magnificent domes and colorful mosaics. A sunset sail on the Bosporus Strait shows the city’s unique mix of continents. Don’t miss trying sweet Turkish delights and strong local coffee to taste the region’s rich culture.
The Temple of Literature in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The Temple of Literature is a peaceful tribute to Confucius, built in 1070. With ancient courtyards, old trees, and stone steles honoring scholars, it feels like a step back in time. Nearby, the Old Quarter’s coffee streets invite visitors to slow down and savor fragrant local coffee. Hoan Kiem Lake, not far away, adds to Hanoi’s charm with its calm waters and scenic shores.

As the water rose around me, my heart hammered in my chest and I gasped for breath. I wasn’t drowning: I was in water 1.2m deep at the shallow end of a swimming pool. But in my head I might as well have been.
As long as I can remember, the idea of drowning has terrified me. Now, at 43, I finally began learning to swim in the same pool in which my two sons, aged five and eight, had had their lessons. To my left, their peers were doing lengths. “You can do this,” said my teacher.
Her gentle encouragement was a far cry from the swimming lessons I took as a student, which only led me to double down on my dislike of water: the tight swimming cap tugging at my long hair, the strange echo of voices and the discomfort of pulling a uniform back onto damp skin. People occasionally put it to me that swimming could save my life; I explained I already had a strategy to avoid drowning — I didn’t go near water.
And I’d have carried on this way if my younger son, Max, hadn’t started swimming lessons last year. My older son, Ralph, was already fearless in the water. Watching the boys splash about with big grins, I finally realized I didn’t want them to think I was too scared to try something they did without a second thought.
Six months since starting, I have been able to complete a length of the 25m pool with a handheld float. Last week my five-year-old swam a width unaided, so I’m using him as inspiration to push towards the goal of letting go of a float altogether. Right now, I’m happy to tell anyone about my lessons. Although my second biggest worry after drowning came true last week when I bumped into my older son’s schoolfriend at the pool. “Where’s Ralph?” he asked. I had to explain it was me taking the lesson.
4. What do the underlined words “double down on” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Express. B. Increase. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
5. Why did the author finally decide to start learning to swim?
A. To share her swimming experience with others.
B. To avoid the embarrassment of being seen struggling.
C. To show her children that she wasn't too scared to try.
D. To overcome childhood fear of swimming lessons.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. She completely shakes off the fear of drowning.
B. She is honest about the fact that she is learning to swim.
C. She feels comfortable practicing in public without embarrassment.
D. She has already mastered swimming well enough to stop using a float.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Inspiration from Children to Learn to Swim
B. Life-Saving Skills Everyone should Master Early
C. Never Go near Water: A Childhood Filled with fear
D. Learn to Swim: A Mother's Journey of Overcoming Fear
C
The internet of old was like an active market. It was noisy, chaotic, and dynamic. Every click brought you somewhere new, sometimes unpredictable, letting you uncover the joy in exchanging information and thoughts. The internet of today, however, speaks in comforting statements and offers a smooth experience with constant praise.
This has robbed us of something in our nature: the pleasure of exploring and questioning. We’ve willingly become creatures of instant satisfaction. Why wait? Why struggle? The change may seem innocent, but it’s also transforming our relationship with the mental effort required to explore uncertainties. By delegating such effort, do we still own the capabilities that help us navigate (定位) the unknown or even think for ourselves? It is becoming clear that even if the current risk posed by AI doesn’t bring about the collapse of civilization, it will still bring about the quiet yet disastrous decline of what makes us human.
Part of that decline is caused by choice. And the most powerful way to shape someone’s choices is by gaining their trust. Every model is a memory, trained not just on data that help anticipate what we want, but also how to answer in ways that comfort us and confirm us, and in doing so, they manage to maximize engagement and avoid debate. Designed to please us, chatbots don’t simply answer our questions; they shape how we interact with them and determine what gets shown, what gets smoothed out, and what gets silenced.
The early internet was never perfect, but it had a purpose: to connect us, to redistribute power, to widen access to knowledge. Today’s systems are the opposite: Prediction has replaced participation, and certainty has replaced search. But the door to a better future hasn’t shut yet. We can still choose systems that serve rather than control, that offer possibilities instead of mere efficiency. Our humanity and future depend on it.
8. What has the internet lost in its development according to paragraph 1?
A. Diverse viewpoints. B. Extensive information.
C. Rapid replies. D. Friendly atmosphere.
9. What does the underlined word “delegating” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Putting in. B. Keeping up. C. Turning to. D. Handing off.
10. How do chatbots gain our trust?
A. By memorizing previous choices. B. By providing approving responses.
C. By presenting opposing ideas. D. By resolving potential problems.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Convenience of the Digital Era B. The Decline of Human Interactions
C. The Rise of AI Answering Models D. The Price of a Smooth Cyberworld
D
The precise timing of Earth’s climate tipping points — moments at which human-caused climate change will lead to permanent planetary changes — has long been debated. But new evidence suggests they may be closer than we think. A recent report warns that Earth has already crossed its first critical tipping point.
The study, conducted by the University of Exeter, identifies warm-water coral reefs as the first system to surpass this threshold (阈值) of 1.5 °C. Plagued by a combination of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and pollution, corals are experiencing widespread diseases and mass death. A significant loss of these reefs is now inescapable unless global temperatures are capped at 1°C or lower.
“We’re in a new climate reality,” said Tim Lenton, the report’s lead author. He confirms that crossing this initial tipping point virtually guarantees exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold, making the planet a “danger zone” for more severe changes. The World Meteorological Organization predicts this critical threshold will be reached within five years, leading to more intense extreme weather and shortages of food and water.
Beyond this immediate threat, scientists have identified up to 25 other major tipping points. These include the Amazon rainforest’s potential transition from a carbon sink into a dried-up grassland, and the permanent melting of polar ice. This darkening surface speeds up warming as dark ocean water absorbs far more heat than reflective ice.
Alarmingly, 80% of coral reefs have already been under severe heat stress. Their death would be disastrous, as they sustain fisheries and protect coastlines. With one of the lowest temperature thresholds, corals are the first major ecosystem to be compromised.
Coral reefs are not the only victim. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, is endangered by warming below 2°C. A collapse here would disturb global weather patterns and agricultural systems on a massive scale.
However, despite these serious risks, there is hope in “positive tipping points”, such as the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and solar power. Lenton emphasizes that transformative solutions must be employed urgently to limit warming and avoid further shifts.
12. What does the underlined phrase “Plagued by” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Resulting in. B. Suffering from. C. Counting on. D. Accounting for.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Not all predictions are reliable.
B. Climate change is no longer a threat.
C. Tougher challenges may be unavoidable.
D. Global warming has been temporarily stopped.
14. Why is the Amazon rainforest mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight forests’ capacity to recover naturally.
B. To compare its carbon absorption with polar ice’s.
C. To emphasize the necessity of protecting biodiversity.
D. To illustrate the severity of threats to major ecosystems.
15. What conclusion can be reached from the last two paragraphs?
A. Risks and profits go hand in hand.
B. The collapse of AMOC is predictable.
C. Clean energy have addressed the climate crisis.
D. Immediate action is needed to turn things around.

I had spent fifteen years advancing in my corporate career in Seattle, but the corner office and six-figure salary had left me empty. When my marriage ended, I decided it was time for a different kind of life. I bought a cottage in the Idaho countryside, and prepared to start over.
The property came with two elderly neighbors whose land bordered my own. Arnold was eighty-five, with weathered hands from a lifetime of work. Rena moved slowly beside him. They had a magnificent garden — rows of tomatoes, corn, and flowers in every color. But I noticed right away that it was suffering. The weeds were winning, and some rows looked untended. One afternoon, I found Arnold struggling to lift a bag of fertilizer. I carried it for him, and we stood talking for a while.
“You need a garden,” Arnold said. “And I need someone to work this land. These old bones can’t do what they used to.” The arrangement made perfect sense. I would plant, irrigate, and weed. They would teach me what to do and we could share the harvest.
As summer progressed, I found myself arriving earlier each day. I sweated my way through the garden. And when I sat by the creek (小河沟) for a break, I would just listen to the water. Slowly, I began to notice things I had never noticed before: the sound of wind moving through corn, the determination of a pumpkin vine pushing through dry soil. The constant noise in my head — the deadlines, the endless to-do lists — began to quiet.
Arnold noticed my change, “The garden needs you. And you need it, too.” He was right.
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。
One morning, I arrived to find the creek had flooded the garden overnight.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By autumn, the garden had yielded a rich harvest.

As the water rose around me, my heart hammered in my chest and I gasped for breath. I wasn’t drowning: I was in water 1.2m deep at the shallow end of a swimming pool. But in my head I might as well have been.
As long as I can remember, the idea of drowning has terrified me. Now, at 43, I finally began learning to swim in the same pool in which my two sons, aged five and eight, had had their lessons. To my left, their peers were doing lengths. “You can do this,” said my teacher.
Her gentle encouragement was a far cry from the swimming lessons I took as a student, which only led me to double down on my dislike of water: the tight swimming cap tugging at my long hair, the strange echo of voices and the discomfort of pulling a uniform back onto damp skin. People occasionally put it to me that swimming could save my life; I explained I already had a strategy to avoid drowning — I didn’t go near water.
And I’d have carried on this way if my younger son, Max, hadn’t started swimming lessons last year. My older son, Ralph, was already fearless in the water. Watching the boys splash about with big grins, I finally realized I didn’t want them to think I was too scared to try something they did without a second thought.
Six months since starting, I have been able to complete a length of the 25m pool with a handheld float. Last week my five-year-old swam a width unaided, so I’m using him as inspiration to push towards the goal of letting go of a float altogether. Right now, I’m happy to tell anyone about my lessons. Although my second biggest worry after drowning came true last week when I bumped into my older son’s schoolfriend at the pool. “Where’s Ralph?” he asked. I had to explain it was me taking the lesson.
4. What do the underlined words “double down on” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Express. B. Increase. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
5. Why did the author finally decide to start learning to swim?
A. To share her swimming experience with others.
B. To avoid the embarrassment of being seen struggling.
C. To show her children that she wasn't too scared to try.
D. To overcome childhood fear of swimming lessons.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. She completely shakes off the fear of drowning.
B. She is honest about the fact that she is learning to swim.
C. She feels comfortable practicing in public without embarrassment.
D. She has already mastered swimming well enough to stop using a float.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Inspiration from Children to Learn to Swim
B. Life-Saving Skills Everyone should Master Early
C. Never Go near Water: A Childhood Filled with fear
D. Learn to Swim: A Mother's Journey of Overcoming Fear
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者自幼害怕溺水、厌恶游泳,在看到两个儿子从容游泳后,决心克服恐惧学习游泳的历程。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Her gentle encouragement was a far cry from the swimming lessons I took as a student, which only led me to double down on my dislike of water: the tight swimming cap tugging at my long hair, the strange echo of voices and the discomfort of pulling a uniform back onto damp skin.(她温柔的鼓励与我学生时代上的游泳课截然不同,那些游泳课只会让我double down on对水的厌恶:紧绷的泳帽拉扯着我的长发,奇怪的声音回响,以及把泳衣穿回潮湿皮肤上的不适感)”可知,学生时代的游泳课带来了诸多不适,这些不适只会让作者对水的厌恶感更强烈。由此猜测double down on意为“增加、加剧”,与increase意思相近。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Watching the boys splash about with big grins, I finally realized I didn’t want them to think I was too scared to try something they did without a second thought.(看着孩子们咧嘴笑着在水里溅水玩耍,我终于意识到,我不想让他们认为我太胆小,不敢尝试他们毫不犹豫就能做到的事情)”可知,作者最终决定学习游泳,是为了向孩子们展示自己并不胆小,敢于尝试他们能做到的事。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Right now, I’m happy to tell anyone about my lessons. Although my second biggest worry after drowning came true last week when I bumped into my older son’s schoolfriend at the pool. “Where’s Ralph?” he asked. I had to explain it was me taking the lesson.(现在,我很乐意告诉任何人我在上游泳课的事。尽管我仅次于溺水的第二大担忧上周成真了——我在泳池碰到了大儿子的同学。“拉尔夫在哪里?”他问道。我不得不解释说是我在上游泳课)”可推断,作者对于自己正在学习游泳这一事实非常坦诚,即使在泳池碰到儿子的同学,也坦然解释情况。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕作者展开:自幼害怕溺水、厌恶游泳,在孩子们的影响下,决心克服恐惧学习游泳,从借助浮板游完25米泳池,到朝着不用浮板的目标努力,全程记录了一位母亲克服恐惧、学习游泳的历程。D项“学习游泳:一位母亲克服恐惧的旅程”,精准概括了文章核心——母亲(作者)通过学习游泳,克服对水和溺水的恐惧,贴合全文内容,是最适合的标题。故选D项。

The internet of old was like an active market. It was noisy, chaotic, and dynamic. Every click brought you somewhere new, sometimes unpredictable, letting you uncover the joy in exchanging information and thoughts. The internet of today, however, speaks in comforting statements and offers a smooth experience with constant praise.
This has robbed us of something in our nature: the pleasure of exploring and questioning. We’ve willingly become creatures of instant satisfaction. Why wait? Why struggle? The change may seem innocent, but it’s also transforming our relationship with the mental effort required to explore uncertainties. By delegating such effort, do we still own the capabilities that help us navigate (定位) the unknown or even think for ourselves? It is becoming clear that even if the current risk posed by AI doesn’t bring about the collapse of civilization, it will still bring about the quiet yet disastrous decline of what makes us human.
Part of that decline is caused by choice. And the most powerful way to shape someone’s choices is by gaining their trust. Every model is a memory, trained not just on data that help anticipate what we want, but also how to answer in ways that comfort us and confirm us, and in doing so, they manage to maximize engagement and avoid debate. Designed to please us, chatbots don’t simply answer our questions; they shape how we interact with them and determine what gets shown, what gets smoothed out, and what gets silenced.
The early internet was never perfect, but it had a purpose: to connect us, to redistribute power, to widen access to knowledge. Today’s systems are the opposite: Prediction has replaced participation, and certainty has replaced search. But the door to a better future hasn’t shut yet. We can still choose systems that serve rather than control, that offer possibilities instead of mere efficiency. Our humanity and future depend on it.
8. What has the internet lost in its development according to paragraph 1?
A. Diverse viewpoints. B. Extensive information.
C. Rapid replies. D. Friendly atmosphere.
9. What does the underlined word “delegating” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Putting in. B. Keeping up. C. Turning to. D. Handing off.
10. How do chatbots gain our trust?
A. By memorizing previous choices. B. By providing approving responses.
C. By presenting opposing ideas. D. By resolving potential problems.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Convenience of the Digital Era B. The Decline of Human Interactions
C. The Rise of AI Answering Models D. The Price of a Smooth Cyberworld
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章对比新旧互联网,指出如今网络和 AI 带来顺滑舒适体验,却让人丧失探索质疑能力、弱化独立思考,人类特质悄然衰退,我们应主动选择不被操控的网络模式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The internet of old was like an active market. It was noisy, chaotic, and dynamic. Every click brought you somewhere new, sometimes unpredictable, letting you uncover the joy in exchanging information and thoughts. The internet of today, however, speaks in comforting statements and offers a smooth experience with constant praise.(过去的互联网就像一个活跃的市场。它嘈杂、混乱且充满活力。每一次点击都会带你进入一个新的领域,有时结果难以预料,让你在信息与思想的交流中发现乐趣。然而,如今的互联网则以令人安心的话语表达自身,并提供一种流畅的体验,不断给予赞美)”可知,互联网在发展过程中失去了多样化的观点。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“do we still own the capabilities that help us navigate (定位) the unknown or even think for ourselves?(我们是否仍然具备那些能帮助我们探索未知领域、甚至独立思考的能力呢?)”可知,把探索未知的脑力劳作交给人工智能,产生了对于探索未知领域、甚至独立思考的能力的疑问。故划线词意思是“转交、托付”。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Every model is a memory, trained not just on data that help anticipate what we want, but also how to answer in ways that comfort us and confirm us, and in doing so, they manage to maximize engagement and avoid debate. Designed to please us, chatbots don’t simply answer our questions; they shape how we interact with them and determine what gets shown, what gets smoothed out, and what gets silenced.(每一个模型都是一段记忆,其训练过程不仅基于有助于预测我们所需内容的数据,还基于如何以能让我们感到安心和确认自身的方式给出回答的方法。通过这种方式,它们能够最大限度地提高用户的参与度,并避免引发争论。旨在让我们感到愉悦的聊天机器人并非只是简单地回答我们的问题;它们还塑造了我们与它们互动的方式,并决定了哪些内容会被展示、哪些问题会被平滑处理、哪些内容会被压制)”可知,聊天机器人通过给出肯定的答复赢得我们信任。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The internet of old was like an active market. It was noisy, chaotic, and dynamic.

D
The precise timing of Earth’s climate tipping points — moments at which human-caused climate change will lead to permanent planetary changes — has long been debated. But new evidence suggests they may be closer than we think. A recent report warns that Earth has already crossed its first critical tipping point.
The study, conducted by the University of Exeter, identifies warm-water coral reefs as the first system to surpass this threshold (阈值) of 1.5 °C. Plagued by a combination of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and pollution, corals are experiencing widespread diseases and mass death. A significant loss of these reefs is now inescapable unless global temperatures are capped at 1°C or lower.
“We’re in a new climate reality,” said Tim Lenton, the report’s lead author. He confirms that crossing this initial tipping point virtually guarantees exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold, making the planet a “danger zone” for more severe changes. The World Meteorological Organization predicts this critical threshold will be reached within five years, leading to more intense extreme weather and shortages of food and water.
Beyond this immediate threat, scientists have identified up to 25 other major tipping points. These include the Amazon rainforest’s potential transition from a carbon sink into a dried-up grassland, and the permanent melting of polar ice. This darkening surface speeds up warming as dark ocean water absorbs far more heat than reflective ice.
Alarmingly, 80% of coral reefs have already been under severe heat stress. Their death would be disastrous, as they sustain fisheries and protect coastlines. With one of the lowest temperature thresholds, corals are the first major ecosystem to be compromised.
Coral reefs are not the only victim. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, is endangered by warming below 2°C. A collapse here would disturb global weather patterns and agricultural systems on a massive scale.
However, despite these serious risks, there is hope in “positive tipping points”, such as the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and solar power. Lenton emphasizes that transformative solutions must be employed urgently to limit warming and avoid further shifts.
12. What does the underlined phrase “Plagued by” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Resulting in. B. Suffering from. C. Counting on. D. Accounting for.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Not all predictions are reliable.
B. Climate change is no longer a threat.
C. Tougher challenges may be unavoidable.
D. Global warming has been temporarily stopped.
14. Why is the Amazon rainforest mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight forests’ capacity to recover naturally.
B. To compare its carbon absorption with polar ice’s.
C. To emphasize the necessity of protecting biodiversity.
D. To illustrate the severity of threats to major ecosystems.
15. What conclusion can be reached from the last two paragraphs?
A. Risks and profits go hand in hand.
B. The collapse of AMOC is predictable.
C. Clean energy have addressed the climate crisis.
D. Immediate action is needed to turn things around.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕地球气候临界点展开讨论,介绍最新研究结论:地球已经跨越第一个气候临界点——暖水珊瑚礁的1.5℃阈值,受多重环境与人为因素影响,珊瑚礁大规模损失几乎不可避免。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。划线部分是句子的状语部分,根据空后宾语“a combination of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and pollution(海洋温度上升、酸化、过度捕捞和污染等因素的综合)”及主句“corals are experiencing widespread diseases and mass death.(珊瑚正遭受广泛的疾病和大规模死亡)”可知,画线短语后面的宾语是主句珊瑚患病甚至死亡的原因,前后为因果关系,先遭遇这些因素,后导致患病。A. Resulting in.意为“导致,引发”;B. Suffering from.意为“患有,遭受”;C. Counting on.意为“指望,依赖”;D. Accounting for.意为“解释,说明;导致,造成”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He confirms that crossing this initial tipping point virtually guarantees exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold, making the planet a ‘danger zone’ for more severe changes. The World Meteorological Organization predicts this critical threshold will be reached within five years, leading to more intense extreme weather and shortages of food and water.(他确认跨越这一初始临界点几乎可以肯定会超过1.5摄氏度的升温阈值,使地球成为一个“更严重变化的危险区域”。世界气象组织预测,这个关键阈值将在五年内被达到,从而导致更强烈的极端天气以及食物和水资源的短缺)”可知,突破珊瑚礁这个初始临界点,几乎必然会让地球突破1.5℃的升温阈值,还会带来更极端的天气、粮食和水资源短缺。由此可推断,更严峻的气候挑战几乎不可避免。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond this immediate threat, scientists have identified up to 25 other major tipping points. These include the Amazon rainforest’s potential transition from a carbon sink into a dried-up grassland, and the permanent melting of polar ice. This darkening surface speeds up warming as dark ocean water absorbs far more heat than reflective ice.(除了这一直接威胁之外,科学家还发现了多达25个其他重要的临界点。这些包括亚马逊雨林可能从碳汇转变为干涸的草原,以及极地冰层的永久融化)”可知,除了珊瑚礁这个眼前的威胁,科学家还识别出多达25个其他主要气候临界点,随后的亚马逊雨林退化为干草原就是一个例子,目的就是举例说明全球多个主要生态/气候系统都面临严重威胁。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段“Coral reefs are not the only victim. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, is endangered by warming below 2°C. A collapse here would disturb global weather patterns and agricultural systems on a massive scale.(珊瑚礁并非唯一的受害者。即便全球升温幅度低于2 °C,大西洋经向翻转环流仍将受到威胁。这里的一次崩溃将大规模地扰乱全球气候模式和农业系统)”及“However, despite these serious risks, there is hope in “positive tipping points”, such as the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and solar power. Lenton emphasizes that transformative solutions must be employed urgently to limit warming and avoid further shifts.(然而,尽管存在这些严重的风险,仍有“积极的临界点”带来希望,比如迅速采用电动汽车和太阳能能源。莱顿强调,必须紧急采取变革性的解决方案来限制变暖并避免进一步的转变)”可知,最后两段先说明还有其他气候系统(AMOC洋流)也濒临危险,结尾转折指出:虽然风险严重,但仍存在“积极临界点”比如清洁能源推广,所以最终结论是必须立刻采取变革性方案限制变暖,避免更多气候转变。故选D项。

57. 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 spent fifteen years advancing in my corporate career in Seattle, but the corner office and six-figure salary had left me empty. When my marriage ended, I decided it was time for a different kind of life. I bought a cottage in the Idaho countryside, and prepared to start over.
The property came with two elderly neighbors whose land bordered my own. Arnold was eighty-five, with weathered hands from a lifetime of work. Rena moved slowly beside him. They had a magnificent garden — rows of tomatoes, corn, and flowers in every color. But I noticed right away that it was suffering. The weeds were winning, and some rows looked untended. One afternoon, I found Arnold struggling to lift a bag of fertilizer. I carried it for him, and we stood talking for a while.
“You need a garden,” Arnold said. “And I need someone to work this land. These old bones can’t do what they used to.” The arrangement made perfect sense. I would plant, irrigate, and weed. They would teach me what to do and we could share the harvest.
As summer progressed, I found myself arriving earlier each day. I sweated my way through the garden. And when I sat by the creek (小河沟) for a break, I would just listen to the water. Slowly, I began to notice things I had never noticed before: the sound of wind moving through corn, the determination of a pumpkin vine pushing through dry soil. The constant noise in my head — the deadlines, the endless to-do lists — began to quiet.
Arnold noticed my change, “The garden needs you. And you need it, too.” He was right.
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。
One morning, I arrived to find the creek had flooded the garden overnight.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By autumn, the garden had yielded a rich harvest.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One morning, I arrived to find the creek had flooded the garden overnight. The water had carried away vegetables, submerged young tomato plants and bent corn stalks, leaving mud and broken stems scattered everywhere. I stood shaking with despair. Arnold appeared silently, steady and reassuring, “We’ll start from the beginning again.” His calm shocked me. Together we removed water with buckets, replanted what we could, and mended the banks. After hours, the garden seemed to stir back to life.
By autumn, the garden had yielded a rich harvest. Pumpkins lined the paths; red tomatoes clustered on heavy vines. I walked through, filling my basket with beans and corn, and felt the emptiness in my heart fade. When I looked up, I saw Arnold leaning on the fence, wiping sweat from his weathered hands. Beside him, Rena sat on a wooden bench, watching with still peace. The setting sun cast a golden glow. In that moment, I understood this garden was my second chance — I had learned to restart bravely and keep going, no matter what.
