That day, she made a promise to herself that she would do something to protect the oceans. Now 22, Maya has kept that promise. She is the founder of Ocean Guardians, a youth-led organization that organizes beach cleanups and educates people about plastic pollution. What started as a small group of friends cleaning up their local beach has grown into a global movement with over 50,000 members in 40 countries. One of Ocean Guardians’ most successful projects is the “Plastic Free School” program. The organization works with schools to eliminate single-use plastics from cafeterias and classrooms. So far, over 200 schools have joined the program, reducing their plastic waste by an average of 70%. Maya’s biggest achievement, however, came last year when she led a campaign to ban single-use plastics in her home state. She collected over 100,000 signatures and spoke at the state legislature. After months of debate, the ban was passed, making it the strictest plastic ban in the country. Despite her success, Maya remains humble. “I’m just one person,” she says. “The real heroes are the thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their schools. Together, we can make a difference.” Maya’s next goal is to expand the Plastic Free School program to 1,000 schools by 2027. She also plans to write a book for children about ocean conservation. “It’s important to start educating kids young,” she explains. “They are the future of our planet.” 4. What inspired Maya Thompson to start protecting the oceans? A. A school project about environmental protection. B. Seeing plastic pollution on a beach vacation. C. A documentary about ocean life. D. The encouragement from her parents. 5. What is the “Plastic Free School” program about? A. Teaching students about marine biology. B. Organizing beach cleanups for students. C. Removing single-use plastics from schools. D. Raising money for ocean conservation. 6. What does the underlined word “humble” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Proud and confident. B. Modest and not arrogant. C. Ambitious and determined. D. Kind and generous. 7. What can we infer from the text? A. Maya’s organization is funded by the government. B. The plastic ban in Maya’s state was the first in the country. C. Maya believes collective action is the key to solving environmental problems. D. All schools in Maya’s state have joined the Plastic Free School program. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Maya Thompson在10岁时因一次海滩度假目睹塑料污染而立志保护海洋，随后创立青年组织Ocean Guardians，发起海滩清理活动、推行"无塑料学校"项目，并成功推动家乡州通过全国最严一次性塑料禁令的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Maya Thompson was 10 years old, she went on a family vacation to the beach and saw hundreds of plastic bottles and bags washed up on the shore. That day, she made a promise to herself that she would do something to protect the oceans.(Maya Thompson十岁时，和家人去海滩度假，看到数百个塑料瓶和塑料袋被冲上岸。那天，她对自己许下了一个承诺，那就是要采取行动来保护海洋)”可知，正是这次度假中亲眼所见的塑料污染促使她立志保护海洋。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The organization works with schools to eliminate single-use plastics from cafeterias and classrooms.(该组织与学校合作，清除食堂和教室里的一次性塑料制品)”可推知，该项目旨在帮助学校消除一次性塑料。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文““I’m just one person,” she says. “The real heroes are the thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their schools. Together, we can make a difference.”(“我只是一个人而已，”她说道，“真正的英雄是那些每个周末都会前来清理海滩的数千名志愿者，还有那些正在改变自己所在学校的学生们。只要我们齐心协力，就能有所作为。”)”可推知，尽管成就卓著，Maya并未骄傲自满，而是将功劳归于他人。由此可知，划线词humble意为“谦虚的、不傲慢的”。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The real heroes are the thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their schools. Together, we can make a difference.(真正的英雄是那些每个周末都会前来清理海滩的数千名志愿者，还有那些正在改变自己所在学校的学生们。只要我们齐心协力，就能有所作为)”可推知，Maya认为集体行动是解决环境问题的关键。 C In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter. Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken. They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice. In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn. Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.” 8. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? A. To teach in a school. B. To study American history. C. To write a book. D. To do sightseeing. 9. What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3? A. They enjoyed much respect. B. They had a room with a bathtub. C. They lived with the local kids. D. They suffered severe hardships. 10. Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hair-raising? A. The extreme climate of Auburn. B. The living conditions in Elkhead. C. The railroad building in the Rockies. D. The natural beauty of the West. 11. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A children’s story. D. A diary entry. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章是一则书评，简要介绍了Dorothy Wickenden的书籍并对其进行了评价。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y.-Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood -traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. (1916年，来自纽约奥本市的两个富裕家庭的女孩——Dorothy Woodruff和Rosamond Underwood——来到落基山脉的一个定居点，在一间只有一个房间的学校教书)”可知，Dorothy和Rosamond去落基山脉是为了去学校里教书。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.(他们和一个当地家庭，哈里森一家一起搬进去，和他们一样，几乎没有隐私，很少洗澡，早上醒来时被子上覆盖着一层雪)”以及“In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.(在春天，雪被泥替代覆盖在冰上)”可推知，女孩们的生活条件非常艰苦，她们的生活饱受磨难。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms.(令人毛骨悚然的一段与铁路建设有关，这涉及到在令人眩目的暴风雪中钻穿落基山脉)”可知，Wickenden的作品中涉及落基山脉的铁路建设这一部分是令人毛骨悚然的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.(这本书以Rosamond和Dorothy回到奥本结束)”以及最后一段“Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism of the people move her to some beautiful writing.( Wickenden是个很好的讲故事的人。大地的辽阔和人们的坚忍使她创作出了一些美丽的作品)”可知，本文简要介绍了Wickenden的书籍内容，并对其进行了评价，所以文本是一篇书评。故选B项。 【点睛】 D In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect. “With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?” Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns. “We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru. Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features. What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity? “Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.” 12. What do we know about the records of species collected now? A. They are becoming outdated. B. They are mostly in electronic form. C. They are limited in number. D. They are used for public exhibition. 13. What does Daru’s study focus on? A. Threatened species. B. Physical specimens. C. Observational data. D. Mobile applications. 14. What has led to the biases according to the study? A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures. C. Improper way of sampling. D. Unreliable data collection devices. 15. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps? A. Review data from certain areas. B. Hire experts to check the records. C. Confirm the identity of the users. D. Give guidance to citizen scientists. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，数字生物多样性记录存在偏见，建议应用程序引导公民科学家获取更好的数据。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. (今天，大多数生物多样性的记录通常以照片、视频和其他数字记录的形式出现。)”可知，现在收集的物种记录大多是以电子形式存在的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable? (这些观察结果现在超过了来自物理标本的原始数据，而且由于我们越来越多地使用观察数据来研究物种如何应对全球变化，我想知道：它们有用吗?)”和第四段““We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru. (Daru说“我们特别感兴趣的是探索取样容易产生数据偏差的方面，比如公民科学家更有可能拍摄开花植物的照片，而不是它旁边的草。”)”可知，Daru的研究聚焦于观察数据，即人们通过移动应用记录的物种观察数据。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru. (Daru说“我们特别感兴趣的是探索取样容易产生数据偏差的方面，比如公民科学家更有可能拍摄开花植物的照片，而不是它旁边的草。”)”以及第五段“This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby.( 这是有道理的，因为在移动设备上获得观察生物多样性数据的人通常是公民科学家，他们记录了他们在附近地区与物种的接触。)”可知，导致数据偏差的原因是采样方式的不当。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image. (生物多样性应用程序可以使用我们的研究结果来告知用户样本过多的地区，并将他们引导到样本不足的地方，甚至是物种。为了提高观测数据的质量，生物多样性应用程序还可以鼓励用户让专家确认他们上传的图像的身份。)”可知，Daru 建议生物多样性应用应该给公民科学家提供指导。故选D。 【点睛】 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。 Join the Friends and find the place that’s right for you ●Who are the Friends of the University Art Museum?

Panic恐慌。根据上文“Lily started shaking, and her breathing became shallow.”以及“but I forced myself to stay”可知，看到伤情恶化，作者内心应是恐慌，panic与后文的冷静形成对比。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：恐慌涌上我的心头，但我强迫自己保持冷静。A. calm冷静的；B. quiet安静的；C. muddy泥泞的；D. energetic精力充沛的。根据上文“but I forced myself to stay”中的转折可知，尽管内心恐慌，但要强迫自己冷静，stay calm为固定搭配，意为“保持冷静”，符合急救时需要镇定的心态。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：我迅速脱下夹克盖在她身上，同时，另一位朋友将她与潮湿的地面隔开。A. stood站立；B. removed脱掉；C. informed通知；D. cheated欺骗。根据上文“I remembered to keep injured people warm.”及下文“my jacket and covered her”可知，为了给伤者保暖，作者脱下了自己的夹克，removed表示“脱掉”，符合逻辑。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：我迅速脱下夹克盖在她身上，同时，另一位朋友将她与潮湿的地面隔开。A. however然而；B. otherwise否则；C. meanwhile同时；D. therefore因此。根据上文“Quickly, I ____ my jacket and covered her”及下文“another friend separated her from the wet ground”可知，这是与“我盖夹克”同时进行的动作，meanwhile表示“与此同时”，体现两个动作同步发生。 【33题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他们称赞我的行为，说我敏捷的思维防止了休克恶化。A. critical批评的；B. abstract抽象的；C. forward向前的；D. quick迅速的。根据下文“thinking had prevented shock from worsening”及上文作者迅速采取的一系列急救措施可知，quick thinking为固定搭配，表示“思维敏捷”，强调反应迅速。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：在那一刻，我意识到生命是多么脆弱，知识是多么强大。A. realized意识到；B. predicted预测；C. imagined想象；D. insisted坚持。根据下文“how fragile (脆弱的) life is and how powerful knowledge can be.”可知，这是作者在亲身经历后领悟到的道理，realized表示“意识到”，符合语境。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：有时，最重要的课程不是来自教科书，而是来自我们选择挺身而出的时刻。A. stages舞台；B. occasions场合、时刻；C. experiences经历；D. adventures冒险。根据下文“where we choose to step up”可知，此处指特定的时刻或场合，occasions表示“时机、场合”，强调在关键时刻挺身而出，符合句意。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 With roots ___36___ (date) back thousands of years, Chinese seals (印章) are more than just ___37___ unique image; they are symbolic of identity, status, and culture. A Chinese seal is a seal or stamp used to mark important documents, pieces of art, contracts, or any other item that ___38___(require) a signature. The seal was first created in 221 BC. The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, ordered his first imperial (皇帝的) seal to be carved using beautiful white jade (玉). ___39___(call) the “Xi”, the imperial seal was only used by those in power. It was in the Ming and Qing dynasties ___40___ the seal’s usage moved from the imperial to the personal, due to the ___41___ (develop) of arts. Artists began using a stylized seal carving of their names to mark ownership of their works. ___42___ (individual) also began using a personalized stamp for important documents. These non-official stamps were called “Yin”. ___43___(usual), the seals are carved into stone, but they can also ___44___(make) of wood, bamboo, or bone. Seals are carved in one of two ways: the material is carved away from the character, leaving a red ink outline when used on paper, ____45____ the character is carved into the material, leaving the character in white among a red background. 【答案】36. dating 37. a 38. requires 39. Called 40. that 41. development 42. Individuals 43. Usually 44. be made 45. or 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国印章。中国印章历史可追溯到数千年前，它不仅仅是一种独特的印记，更象征着身份、地位和文化。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国印章的历史可以追溯到几千年前，它不仅仅是一种独特的形象；它们象征着身份、地位和文化。此处为with的复合结构，roots与date之间是主动关系，即“根源”主动追溯到几千年前，所以用现在分词dating作宾语补足语。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：中国印章的历史可以追溯到几千年前，它不仅仅是一种独特的形象；它们象征着身份、地位和文化。此处表示泛指“一种独特的形象”，unique是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：中国印章是一种用于标记重要文件、艺术品、合同或任何其他需要签名的物品的印章或图章。句子描述客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语that指代先行词any other item是单数，所以谓语动词require用第三人称单数形式requires。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这枚御玺被称为“玺”，仅供当权者使用。分析句子结构，句中已有谓语动词was used，此处应用非谓语动词。the imperial seal与call之间是被动关系，即御玺被称作“玺”，所以用过去分词Called作状语，表被动和完成，句首单词首字母大写。 【40题详解】 考查强调句。句意：正是在明清时期，由于艺术的发展，印章的使用从皇室转移到了个人。分析句子结构，此句去掉It was和该空后句子结构完整，符合强调句结构“It is/was +被强调部分+ that +其他部分”，这里强调的是时间状语in the Ming and Qing dynasties，所以用that。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：正是在明清时期，由于艺术的发展，印章的使用从皇室转移到了个人。根据空前的the和空后的of可知，此处应用名词development，意为“发展”，作宾语。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：个人也开始在重要文件上使用个性化的印章。此处应用名词复数Individuals表示泛指多个“个人”，作主语，首字母大写。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：通常，印章是用石头雕刻而成的，但它们也可以由木头、竹子或骨头制成。此处修饰整个句子，应用副词Usually，意为“通常”，句首单词首字母大写。 【44题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：通常，印章是用石头雕刻而成的，但它们也可以由木头、竹子或骨头制成。主语they指代seals，与make之间是被动关系，即印章被制作，且位于情态动词can之后，所以用“be +过去分词”的形式，即be made。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：印章的雕刻有两种方式：一种是把材料从字符上雕刻掉，在纸上使用时留下红色墨水轮廓；另一种是把字符雕刻进材料里，在红色背景中留下白色的字符。根据语境，前后两种雕刻方式是选择关系，所以用连词or，意为“或者”。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是班长李华，你班计划设立一个“班级艺术角”(Class Art Corner），现面向全班同学征集设计方案。请你写一封英文倡议信，内容包括： 1.具体要求； 2.鼓励积极参与。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear classmates, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear classmates, To enrich our campus life, our class will set up a Class Art Corner.

On their way back, Mrs Brown picked up a doll for Lily from the local toy store — it had smooth hair and wore a pretty blue dress, just like the dolls Lily always admired in shop windows. These days, when Mr and Mrs Brown were busy with their work and spending less time at home, such small joys meant more than ever. In the afternoon, Lily couldn’t wait to play with her new doll in the backyard. She was carefully pushing the doll in her little toy pram (推车) when suddenly, a strong wind came and blew the pram down. Before Lily could catch it, the pram hit a tree and fell over. The doll fell out and broke into pieces on the hard ground. Since the doll was made of porcelain (瓷器) and completely broken, the Browns could do nothing about it. Heartbroken, Lily collected all the pieces carefully. She found a small cardboard box and put all the broken pieces inside, then buried it under the big oak tree in their garden. About one hour later, their neighbor Mrs White happened to pass by and saw what had happened. She came over to comfort little Lily. Seeing how sad the girl was, she really felt sorry for her. And it was at that moment that she decided to do something special for the poor child. The next day, Mr Brown went out to get the mail as usual and found a package. It was addressed to Lily, with no sender’s name written on it. Feeling curious, he brought it inside and called his daughter. Lily carefully opened the wrapped package. 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。 Lily’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement and joy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by this wonderful act, Mr Brown decided to share the story online. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Lily’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement and joy. Inside lay a brand-new doll—not just any doll, but one even more beautiful than the broken one. Beside the doll was a small handwritten note that said: “Every beautiful doll deserves to be loved by a sweet girl like you. Always keep smiling! — From your secret friend.” Mr Brown immediately thought of their kind neighbor Mrs White, who had witnessed Lily’s sadness yesterday. A warm feeling of gratitude filled his heart as he watched his daughter happily hug her new doll. Deeply moved by this wonderful act, Mr Brown decided to share the story online. The story quickly spread throughout the community. Many neighbors, inspired by this simple but meaningful gesture, started helping with grocery shopping for elderly neighbors, while others shared plants from their gardens. When Mrs White’s family learned what she had done, they felt incredibly proud of her. But the most valuable reward for Mrs White was seeing Lily playing happily in the garden every day, always carrying the new doll with her. This experience served as a reminder that even small acts of kindness can create waves of warmth and bring people closer together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述四月的一天， Brown夫妇给女儿Lily买了一个瓷娃娃。Lily 在后院玩耍时，娃娃被风吹落地摔碎了，她伤心地把碎片埋在树下。邻居White太太见状，决定为她做点什么。第二天， Brown先生取到一个没有署名的包裹，是寄给Lily的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Lily的眼睛立刻兴奋又喜悦地亮了起来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Lily收到匿名新娃娃十分开心，Brown先生猜到是White太太所送，心中满是感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“深受这一善举感动，Brown先生决定把故事分享到网上。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Brown先生分享此事，带动社区互助。White太太倍感欣慰，也让人明白小善举能传递温暖、凝聚人心。 2.续写线索：Lily收到新娃娃—十分开心——Brown先生心中满是感激——把故事分享到网上——带动社区互助——感悟 3.4.词汇激活 行为类 ①.拥抱：hug/embrace ②.鼓舞：inspire/motivate/encourage ③.帮助： help/assist/aid 情绪类 ①.伤心：sadness/sorrow/grief ②.感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1].

July 1 B When Maya Thompson was 10 years old, she went on a family vacation to the beach and saw hundreds of plastic bottles and bags washed up on the shore. That day, she made a promise to herself that she would do something to protect the oceans. Now 22, Maya has kept that promise. She is the founder of Ocean Guardians, a youth-led organization that organizes beach cleanups and educates people about plastic pollution. What started as a small group of friends cleaning up their local beach has grown into a global movement with over 50,000 members in 40 countries. One of Ocean Guardians’ most successful projects is the “Plastic Free School” program. The organization works with schools to eliminate single-use plastics from cafeterias and classrooms. So far, over 200 schools have joined the program, reducing their plastic waste by an average of 70%. Maya’s biggest achievement, however, came last year when she led a campaign to ban single-use plastics in her home state. She collected over 100,000 signatures and spoke at the state legislature. After months of debate, the ban was passed, making it the strictest plastic ban in the country. Despite her success, Maya remains humble. “I’m just one person,” she says. “The real heroes are the thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their schools. Together, we can make a difference.” Maya’s next goal is to expand the Plastic Free School program to 1,000 schools by 2027. She also plans to write a book for children about ocean conservation. “It’s important to start educating kids young,” she explains. “They are the future of our planet.” 4. What inspired Maya Thompson to start protecting the oceans? A. A school project about environmental protection. B. Seeing plastic pollution on a beach vacation. C. A documentary about ocean life. D. The encouragement from her parents. 5. What is the “Plastic Free School” program about? A. Teaching students about marine biology. B. Organizing beach cleanups for students. C. Removing single-use plastics from schools. D. Raising money for ocean conservation. 6. What does the underlined word “humble” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Proud and confident. B. Modest and not arrogant. C. Ambitious and determined. D. Kind and generous. 7. What can we infer from the text? A. Maya’s organization is funded by the government. B. The plastic ban in Maya’s state was the first in the country. C. Maya believes collective action is the key to solving environmental problems. D. All schools in Maya’s state have joined the Plastic Free School program. C In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter. Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken. They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice. In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn. Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.” 8. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? A. To teach in a school. B. To study American history. C. To write a book. D. To do sightseeing. 9. What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3? A. They enjoyed much respect. B. They had a room with a bathtub. C. They lived with the local kids. D. They suffered severe hardships. 10. Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hair-raising? A. The extreme climate of Auburn. B. The living conditions in Elkhead. C. The railroad building in the Rockies. D. The natural beauty of the West. 11. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A children’s story. D. A diary entry. D In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect. “With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?” Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns. “We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru. Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features. What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity? “Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.” 12. What do we know about the records of species collected now? A. They are becoming outdated. B. They are mostly in electronic form. C. They are limited in number. D. They are used for public exhibition. 13. What does Daru’s study focus on? A. Threatened species. B. Physical specimens. C. Observational data. D. Mobile applications. 14. What has led to the biases according to the study? A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures. C. Improper way of sampling. D. Unreliable data collection devices. 15. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps? A. Review data from certain areas. B. Hire experts to check the records. C. Confirm the identity of the users. D. Give guidance to citizen scientists. 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。 Join the Friends and find the place that’s right for you ●Who are the Friends of the University Art Museum?

On their way back, Mrs Brown picked up a doll for Lily from the local toy store — it had smooth hair and wore a pretty blue dress, just like the dolls Lily always admired in shop windows. These days, when Mr and Mrs Brown were busy with their work and spending less time at home, such small joys meant more than ever. In the afternoon, Lily couldn’t wait to play with her new doll in the backyard. She was carefully pushing the doll in her little toy pram (推车) when suddenly, a strong wind came and blew the pram down. Before Lily could catch it, the pram hit a tree and fell over. The doll fell out and broke into pieces on the hard ground. Since the doll was made of porcelain (瓷器) and completely broken, the Browns could do nothing about it. Heartbroken, Lily collected all the pieces carefully. She found a small cardboard box and put all the broken pieces inside, then buried it under the big oak tree in their garden. About one hour later, their neighbor Mrs White happened to pass by and saw what had happened. She came over to comfort little Lily. Seeing how sad the girl was, she really felt sorry for her. And it was at that moment that she decided to do something special for the poor child. The next day, Mr Brown went out to get the mail as usual and found a package. It was addressed to Lily, with no sender’s name written on it. Feeling curious, he brought it inside and called his daughter. Lily carefully opened the wrapped package. 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。 Lily’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement and joy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by this wonderful act, Mr Brown decided to share the story online. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
