I enjoy the comfort and privacy of a single apartment, but my top priority now is having a nearby social community. I understand there are many advantages and disadvantages of costs, socializing and location. Hey, Grace, we only have a few weeks until our break ends and the school year starts.

Paul McCartney joined in 1957, followed by George Harrison, one year later. “In Spite of All the Danger” is the first recording that brings together all three future Beatles members.

第二部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Mangroves (红树林) are critical ecosystems that bridge land, freshwater, and sea. Home to various species, they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide. Yet they continue to face threats from both human activities and natural processes. The report, The State of the World's Mangroves 2024, examines global changes in mangrove ecosystems over the past two decades.
Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. The report also highlights the impact of "natural retraction,” a term used to describe mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels.
Nonetheless, changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results. The rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km2 per year in 2010 — 2020.
Protecting mangroves requires action at every level. Governments can expand protected areas and improve monitoring systems, while conservation project teams restore damaged wetlands. The report also stresses the importance of cooperation with local communities. In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects.
21. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020?
A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%.
22. What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades?
A. It damaged local economy. B. It worsened climate change.
C. It showed a downward trend. D. It expanded on a global scale.
23. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration?
A. Make restoration plans. B. Establish protected areas.
C. Share ecological information. D. Update monitoring equipment.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C
【解析】
【导语】文章围绕红树林生态系统展开,介绍了2000-2020年红树林减少的驱动因素变化、减少速率的改善趋势,并阐述了政府、科研团队及当地社区在红树林保护与修复中的作用。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. (在2000年至2020年期间,包括水产养殖、油棕种植园和水稻种植在内的农业活动是造成全球红树林损失的主要原因)”以及饼状图2010-2020年的数据,农业活动相关的红树林减少驱动因素包括:水产养殖(Aquaculture)21%、油棕种植(Oil palm)14%、水稻种植(Rice)3%。将三者相加:21% + 14% + 3% = 38%。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km² per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km² per year in 2010 — 2020. (红树林净减少率下降了44%,从2000-2010年的每年181.5平方公里降至2010-2020年的每年102.4平方公里)”可知,红树林减少速率呈现明显下降趋势。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects. (在一些项目中,社区成员通过描述红树林的历史分布、减少原因和他们观察到的季节性海岸变化来贡献知识,还通过公民科学平台如iNaturalist提供数据,帮助研究人员制定更有效的修复计划)”可知,当地社区成员可通过分享生态相关信息与数据来支持红树林修复工作。
B
In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending (修补) someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich.
This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda.
Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis,” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”
This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.
Whether a volunteer or event participant, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.
24. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project?
A. A repaired item. B. A volunteer appeal.
C. A classic handcraft. D. A donation campaign.
25. What does the sharpening service bring to Alan?
A. Better treatments of cancer. B. A steady economic support.
C. An optimistic attitude to life. D. Improved professional skills.
26. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Analytical. B. Mindful. C. Curious. D. Independent.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Loneliness is a common problem among young people.
B. Volunteers make great sacrifices for local communities.
C. It is difficult for people of different ages to communicate.
D. Community inclusion activities connect different generations.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D

【导语】文章介绍英国克里奇村共享修复项目的起源、服务内容、参与者收获及各类环保公益活动与社会价值。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.(这个项目始于五年前,当时当地杂志询问是否有人愿意作为志愿者聚集在一起,让他们的村庄变得更可持续、更环保)”可知,该共享修复项目源于一次志愿者招募呼吁。

The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick to specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when human-built structures get in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In 2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier. To Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human-built structures.
On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000 times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely.
For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the green sawfish’s future.
As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life.
28. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By detailing research findings. B. By describing a natural scene.
C. By addressing public concerns. D. By challenging a common belief.
29. What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have?
A. It provided a new habitat for ocean life. B. It blocked the path of the green sawfish.
C. It attracted more new species to the area. D. It drove the green sawfish into deep waters.
30. What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings?
A. They have reduced road accidents on land. B. They will replace ocean barriers eventually.
C. They have destroyed land animals’ habitats. D. They are urgently needed for ocean animals.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea B. The Ocean Where Life Is in Danger
C. The Sawfish That Lost Their Way Home D. Ocean Structures: No Harm Done
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了海洋动物也需要野生动物通道来克服人类建筑障碍。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken.(人们很容易认为海洋生物可以无拘无束畅游,但这种想法是错误的)”可知,作者通过质疑大众普遍的固有观点引出话题。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier.(2017年,岸边修建了一座大型设施,向海中延伸约550码。正如利尔所担忧的,该工程对极度濒危的绿锯鳐造成了危害,它们无法绕过这道屏障)”可知,这座人工设施阻挡了绿锯鳐的通行路径。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely.(利尔表示用于帮助海洋生物安全通行的海洋通道构想,至今极少受到关注)”可知,Lear暗示海洋生物迫切需要专属的生物通行通道。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章先介绍陆地生物通道的普及,再类比提出海洋生物同样需要通行通道,以此保护海洋生物生存繁衍。全文核心为生物通道从陆地延伸至海洋。“Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea(野生动物通道:从陆地走向海洋)”为最佳标题。

In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent spoilage (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, researchers tested the meat samples to count live bacteria and check common spoilage organisms. They also monitored changes in pH and moisture conditions, and tracked bacterial growth at room temperature. It was discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
32. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
33. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation?
A. The variety of cashew species. B. The safety of refrigerated beef.
C. The changes in pH and moisture conditions. D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
34. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It performs best at room temperature. B. It can improve meat quality over time.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了消费者愈发青睐天然食材食品,科学家从废弃腰果壳中提取液体,开展牛肉保鲜实验。实验证实该物质可有效抑菌防腐,保鲜效果与浓度相关,其食品应用价值可观,后续还需进一步研究探索。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell.( 这一趋势促使科学家们寻找安全、天然的防腐剂。他们将注意力转向了腰果中通常会被丢弃的部分——果壳。)”可知,科学家研究腰果壳是为了寻找天然替代人工防腐剂的物质。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“During storage, researchers tested the meat samples to count live bacteria and check common spoilage organisms. They also monitored changes in pH and moisture conditions, and tracked bacterial growth at room temperature. It was discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat.( 在储存期间,研究人员对肉样进行了检测,以统计活菌数量并检查常见的变质微生物。他们还监测了 pH 值和湿度的变化情况,并在室温下追踪了细菌的生长情况。结果发现,经过 CNSL 处理的肉类的细菌生长量明显少于未处理的肉类。)”可知,整个实验的核心是验证 CNSL 抑制细菌生长、防止肉类变质的效果,微生物评估的主要焦点就是CNSL 的抗菌有效性。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.( 这种效果在较高浓度下最为显著,2.0%的溶液能提供出色的保护作用同时又能保持肉的品质。即使在室温下,它也能有效延缓肉类的变质过程并减少细菌生长,使牛肉看起来更新鲜更久远。)”可知,实验结果表明,CNSL 的抗菌效果随浓度升高而增强,说明其浓度与肉类的保鲜期密切相关。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.( 不过,这项研究为我们打开了一扇窗,让我们得以了解大自然保持食物新鲜的方式——它隐藏在一颗普通的腰果壳之中。)”可推知,作者对于 CNSL 的未来持乐观的态度。
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。
I used to love my nonstick pans, impressed by the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic coating (涂层) may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to remove plastics from my life. ___36___ But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.
To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. ___37___ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I could not turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.
___38___ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of harmful health effects.
I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. ___39___
So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. ___40___ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too.
A. I threw out obvious offenders.
B. We depend heavily on plastics.
C. I replaced my sons’ with cotton ones.
D. I wanted to make life safer for my children.

Thus began my campaign to remove plastics from my life.(我过去很喜欢我的不粘锅,因为它们清洗起来非常方便。但后来我了解到,这种塑料涂层在受热时可能会释放出有害物质。于是,我开始了去除塑料制品从我生活中的一系列行动)”以及后文“But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.(但我仍然不清楚究竟哪些种类的塑料才是真正危险的。我想要弄清楚这些“敌人”究竟是什么)”可知,上文提到作者得知不粘锅塑料涂层可能有毒后,开始了清除生活中塑料的行动,下文转折说不清楚哪种塑料真的危险。A选项“我扔掉了明显有问题的塑料制品”,承接“开始行动”,引出下文的转折,逻辑通顺。
【37题详解】
根据上文“To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper.(客观来说,塑料用途十分出色。它质地轻便、防水且富有弹性,让现代生活变得更安全、成本也更低廉)”以及后文“Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I could not turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.(醒来十八分钟后,我承认自己彻底没救了。我无法打开灯,也无法刷牙。没有内衣,也没有袜子——如果有什么东西可以拉伸,那都是因为塑料的缘故)”可知,上文先客观说明塑料的优点,下文提到没办法不用塑料,G选项“一天,我决定试试自己不用塑料能坚持多久”,正好引出下文尝试失败的结果,衔接完美。

【39题详解】
根据上文“I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head.(随后,我咨询了加州大学旧金山分校的特蕾西·伍德鲁夫。她说,人们应该尽力去做力所能及的事情。在厨房里,应选择玻璃容器。在家中其他地方,应将微纤维毛巾换成棉质的。伍德鲁夫还提出的一个观点深深地印在了我的脑海里)”可知,上文提到专家给出了替换塑料制品的建议,还有一个观点让作者记在心里,下一段说“So I turned my attention to my kids.(所以我把注意力转移到了孩子身上)”,说明专家的观点和孩子有关,E选项“儿童是受塑料危害风险最高的群体之一”,正好引出作者关注孩子的结果,因果逻辑通顺。
【40题详解】
根据上文“So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours.(于是,我开始关注起我的孩子们来。床单和被子很重要,因为我们在睡觉时会与这些纤维紧密接触,而且这种接触持续的时间很长)”可知,上文提到作者开始关注孩子,提到孩子的床品很重要(因为长时间接触纤维),C选项“我把儿子们的床品换成了棉的”,承接上文作者针对孩子床品采取的行动,再引出下文作者的担忧,衔接自然。

The Biggest Dog on the Mountain
We liked hiking together. Today, we were looking for a trail over Wallace Mountain.
”It’s been over an hour,” said Jessc, my nineteen-year-old son. “Do you think the trail still exists?” We had explored several paths but with no luck. We pushed through weeds mid-calf high for us, but neck-high for our rusty-brown dog, Shadow. Once in a while, we would call Shadow back when she was attracted by the pleasant smell of flowers. No longer slim and bouncing with energy, Shadow was the size of a large house cat, and always content to curl up on the couch beside one of us.
Suddenly, we heard what sounded like many dogs barking in the distance, an unusual sound in the wilderness around us. Curious, we climbed the ridge (山脉), only to find what seemed like a dog factory. Small dogs, big dogs, brown dogs, and dogs I can’t even describe poured out. The hounds (猎狗) hit the ground, sniffing the air and turning to face us. Before long, they went down from their side of the mountain. Jesse shot an alarmed glance at me before turning to call in a firm voice, “Shadow, come here, stay.”
I patted my pockets, feeling for the pepper spray (防狼喷雾), so small it would never work against so many animals. I turned, surveying the nearby brush for a potential weapon. With the help of adrenaline (肾上腺素), I broke off two thick branches from a tree and rushed to Jesse’s side, “Here you are!” “OK,” he said, “Dad, they are coming to us.” My-mouth went dry. I glanced over at Jesse, his lips pinched (夹紧) tight.
The pack emerged from the valley, marching straight toward us. The dogs in the lead were now close enough for us to see that most of them were three times larger than Shadow. With deep growls (怒吼声),they ran straight for us. Jesse swallowed hard and looked at me.

【答案】One possible version:
Shadow’s back fur rose. Down came the group of dogs towards us, roaring angrily. Just as one of them approached us, I raised the pepper spray and spray the liquid to it. Luckily it jumped aside. However, more dogs charged at me, which made the pepper spray useless. Just then, Jesse went up bravely and threw the thick branches around us, making it difficult for the dogs to move near. Meanwhile, Shadow shouted at the dogs aggressively in an attempt to scare them away.
Surprisingly, the entire mass of dogs turned tail and fled. I was glad to see them disappear. I thanked Jesse for her bravery and I patted Shadow on his back. While he was bigger than those dogs, he was not afraid in face of the mass of dogs. We continued to set off to search for our trail.This time, with Shadow leading the way, we would not get lost and soon we found the right trail. After the adventure, we returned home safe and sound thanks to my brave son and the biggest dog.

第二部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Mangroves (红树林) are critical ecosystems that bridge land, freshwater, and sea. Home to various species, they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide. Yet they continue to face threats from both human activities and natural processes. The report, The State of the World's Mangroves 2024, examines global changes in mangrove ecosystems over the past two decades.
Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. The report also highlights the impact of "natural retraction,” a term used to describe mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels.
Nonetheless, changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results. The rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km2 per year in 2010 — 2020.
Protecting mangroves requires action at every level. Governments can expand protected areas and improve monitoring systems, while conservation project teams restore damaged wetlands. The report also stresses the importance of cooperation with local communities. In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects.
21. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020?
A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%.
22. What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades?
A. It damaged local economy. B. It worsened climate change.
C. It showed a downward trend. D. It expanded on a global scale.
23. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration?
A. Make restoration plans. B. Establish protected areas.
C. Share ecological information. D. Update monitoring equipment.
B
In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending (修补) someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich.
This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda.
Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis,” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”
This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.
Whether a volunteer or event participant, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.
24. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project?
A. A repaired item. B. A volunteer appeal.
C. A classic handcraft. D. A donation campaign.
25. What does the sharpening service bring to Alan?
A. Better treatments of cancer. B. A steady economic support.
C. An optimistic attitude to life. D. Improved professional skills.
26. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Analytical. B. Mindful. C. Curious. D. Independent.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Loneliness is a common problem among young people.
B. Volunteers make great sacrifices for local communities.
C. It is difficult for people of different ages to communicate.
D. Community inclusion activities connect different generations.
C
The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick to specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when human-built structures get in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In 2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier. To Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human-built structures.
On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000 times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely.
For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the green sawfish’s future.
As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life.
28. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By detailing research findings. B. By describing a natural scene.
C. By addressing public concerns. D. By challenging a common belief.
29. What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have?
A. It provided a new habitat for ocean life. B. It blocked the path of the green sawfish.
C. It attracted more new species to the area. D. It drove the green sawfish into deep waters.
30. What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings?
A. They have reduced road accidents on land. B. They will replace ocean barriers eventually.
C. They have destroyed land animals’ habitats. D. They are urgently needed for ocean animals.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea B. The Ocean Where Life Is in Danger
C. The Sawfish That Lost Their Way Home D. Ocean Structures: No Harm Done
D
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent spoilage (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, researchers tested the meat samples to count live bacteria and check common spoilage organisms. They also monitored changes in pH and moisture conditions, and tracked bacterial growth at room temperature. It was discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
32. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
33. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation?
A. The variety of cashew species. B. The safety of refrigerated beef.
C. The changes in pH and moisture conditions. D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
34. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It performs best at room temperature. B. It can improve meat quality over time.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

I used to love my nonstick pans, impressed by the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic coating (涂层) may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to remove plastics from my life. ___36___ But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.
To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. ___37___ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I could not turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.
___38___ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of harmful health effects.
I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. ___39___
So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. ___40___ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too.
A. I threw out obvious offenders.
B. We depend heavily on plastics.
C. I replaced my sons’ with cotton ones.
D. I wanted to make life safer for my children.
E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics.
F. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere.
G. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.

Despite our differences in our realities — mine as I sought my ___48___ between my life here and my roots there — and hers as she tried to regain her sense of ___49___ to a home left decades ago, ___50___ dim sum photos, gradually became our ___51___ language.
We ___52___, still. Our feelings are often lost in translation. There may never be the right ___53___ — but always the right food. Whenever we meet, we always ___54___ each other’s plates with dim sum, which look like mountains of affection.

The Biggest Dog on the Mountain
We liked hiking together. Today, we were looking for a trail over Wallace Mountain.
”It’s been over an hour,” said Jessc, my nineteen-year-old son. “Do you think the trail still exists?” We had explored several paths but with no luck. We pushed through weeds mid-calf high for us, but neck-high for our rusty-brown dog, Shadow. Once in a while, we would call Shadow back when she was attracted by the pleasant smell of flowers. No longer slim and bouncing with energy, Shadow was the size of a large house cat, and always content to curl up on the couch beside one of us.
Suddenly, we heard what sounded like many dogs barking in the distance, an unusual sound in the wilderness around us. Curious, we climbed the ridge (山脉), only to find what seemed like a dog factory. Small dogs, big dogs, brown dogs, and dogs I can’t even describe poured out. The hounds (猎狗) hit the ground, sniffing the air and turning to face us. Before long, they went down from their side of the mountain. Jesse shot an alarmed glance at me before turning to call in a firm voice, “Shadow, come here, stay.”
I patted my pockets, feeling for the pepper spray (防狼喷雾), so small it would never work against so many animals. I turned, surveying the nearby brush for a potential weapon. With the help of adrenaline (肾上腺素), I broke off two thick branches from a tree and rushed to Jesse’s side, “Here you are!” “OK,” he said, “Dad, they are coming to us.” My-mouth went dry. I glanced over at Jesse, his lips pinched (夹紧) tight.
The pack emerged from the valley, marching straight toward us. The dogs in the lead were now close enough for us to see that most of them were three times larger than Shadow. With deep growls (怒吼声),they ran straight for us. Jesse swallowed hard and looked at me.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shadow’s back fur rose.

Surprisingly, the entire mass of dogs turned tail and fled.
