But you’re selling yourself short if you don’t venture beyond the photo-friendly installation (装置). LACMA’s collections feature modernist masterpieces, large-scale contemporary works (including Richard Serra’s massive swirling (旋转) sculpture, Josiah McElheny’s Island Universe, and Burden’s another work called Metropolis Ⅱ), traditional Japanese screens and some of L.A.’s most consistently fantastic special exhibitions. However, the eastern half of LACMA’s campus is mostly closed as it wraps up a massive redesign called the David Geffen Galleries, due to open to the public in April 2026 (you can already see the massive concrete structure, which crosses over the top of Wilshire Boulevard, from the outside). But you’ll still find about a half-dozen special exhibitions and a bright presentation of the modern collection located in the existing Resnick Pavilion and BCAM. What’s On California-based Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin explores the Golden State through video installations and paintings; graphic designer Beeple’s Diffuse Control lets visitors collaborate with AI on a video-based sculpture; and Tavares Strachan’s first museum exhibition in L.A. is a collection of multisensory installations. Address 5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Opening hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 11:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m.; Friday 11:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday 10:00 a.m. — 7:00 p.m.; closed on Wednesday Pricing L. A. County Residents: $23, seniors and students $19, 17 and under free; Monday — Friday after 3:00 pm free. Non-residents: $28, seniors and students $24, ages 3 — 17 $13, 2 and under free. Free every second Tuesday of the month. 21. Who has two art pieces on display at LACMA? A. Beeple. B. Richard Serra. C. Chris Burden. D. Josiah McElheny. 22. What can visitors do at LACMA? A. Make unique sculptures in person. B. Admire a Chinese artist’s works. C. Enjoy classic films on Wednesdays. D. Watch a video about many designers. 23. How much is the Monday admission for a young foreign couple and their 3-year-old child? A. $46 B. $56 C. $65 D. $69 B It begins with a steady buzz, echoing through the towering forests of Alaska. It’s a signal, but not one to be alarmed by. It’s less “Duck and cover,” more “Come and get it!” So you step outside your house, where there are few roads and fewer neighbors, and see it. A single-engine plane flies low, just a few dozen feet above the ground. The plane’s door whips open, and a black package is thrown out, plummeting(速降) to earth with a yellow tail hanging behind. Congratulations, you’ve just been turkey bombed! The “bomb” is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag, tied with yellow caution tape for easy visibility. Since 2021, Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them from the air to remote Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel, moose or Spam for Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country. It’s a time when rivers, which often serve as highways in Alaska’s remote areas, are too frozen for boats to travel but not frozen enough for cars. Their only option for reaching “civilization” is seven hours on a snowmobile. Or, if you’re a pilot like Keim, you can take to the air. Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna, an isolated village. A neighbor mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four. This reminded Keim of her childhood, when a family friend would drop a turkey — and sometimes a box of candy inside the package just for her — from his plane to her family every year. “I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans without road access,” says Keim. “It wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’d bring me a lot of joy to bless other people like we were blessed.” Now Keim is working to turn this personal effort into a non- profit called the Alaska Turkey Drop Project. The project has received enough donations from some individuals and local businesses, with others donating their time and goods. Every year, that noisy plane soaring through Alaska’s sky brings not just turkeys, but a heartwarming reminder of connection in the wilderness. 24. What can be learned about the “bomb”? A. It’s a dangerous explosive. B. It’s sent to Alaskans for Christmas. C. It’s a frozen turkey with yellow tape. D. It’s dropped from a high- flying plane. 25. Why is Thanksgiving a challenging time in remote Alaska? A. Pilots avoid snowy flights. B. Snowmobiles are only for short trips. C. All roads are blocked by snow. D. Half-frozen rivers are unfit for boats or cars. 26. What inspired Keim to start the “bombing” flights? A. A demand for her nonprofit project. B. A suggestion from her family. C. Neighbor’s hardship and childhood favor. D. Hunting squirrels with neighbors. 27. Which of the following best describes Keim? A. Caring and independent. B. Sympathetic and innovative. C. Decisive and tolerant. D. Adventurous and ambitious. C Tree-planting, intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, has become a synonym (同义词) for climate action. In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone. They exist within complex communities, helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with. The woodland isn’t nature’s only carbon sink: Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity. That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants to get across. Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. That’s because animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem. He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon. In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) populations during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink. Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity, said Schmitz. “They think that animals either aren’t important enough or that you can’t take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,” he said. “Our message is that you can and should. It can be a win-win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake.” We need a full picture - with both trees and animals - to explore nature’s full potential. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide. B. Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis. C. Grasslands and oceans help maintain biodiversity. D. People are not thinking through trees properly. 29. What does the underlined word “animate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Restart. B. Activate. C. Disturb. D. Break. 30. What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest? A. Animals can change the ecosystem’s capacity to store carbon. B. The conservation of animals is still a serious issue. C. Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations. D. The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change B. Woodland Isn’t the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth C. Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties without Animals D. The Serengeti Ecosystem Needs Urgent Improvement D Swindale Beck meanders (蜿蜒) through fields, farmland and valleys. However, not long ago, the river took a far more straight course. A healthy river should be winding, free flowing and filled with wildlife. The ideal river is “very dynamic, messy and chaotic”, says Glen Swainson, a manager of RSPB. In Britain, however, 97% of rivers are broken up by artificial barriers. And for centuries rivers have been slowly artificially straightened to stop water from flooding and spilling onto farmland and houses. But removing a river’s natural meanders has, in fact, achieved the opposite effect. Instead, it has disrupted the flow of rivers and destroyed water habitats, water quality and heightened flood risk. As the poor health of Europe’s rivers and streams continues to make news, communities are turning towards natural solutions to restore their rivers. According to Tom Hayek, a natural flood management specialist, adding meanders into rivers has two benefits — it changes both the volume and the speed of water. Firstly, it decreases what’s known as flow conveyance. “When the length of the river is increased, you spread water over a wider area. This allows more water to sit up in the headwaters.” The second impact is on speed. Put simply, the more structure you add to the shape of a river, the slower the water will move down it. If it’s straight, water will “fly” through, says Hayek. When the flow of water is slowed, it creates deeper pools for fish to gather and rest. With meanders added to Swindale Beck, the results were astonishing, says Annabel Rushton, a visitor experience manager. “Within three months of that river being re-wiggled, the salmon (鲑鱼) were spawning (产卵) in that one kilometre area for the first time in over150 years,” she says. Scientists have also noted an increase in fish gathering. Then, there were the knock-on effects. Water-loving plants returned, providing cover for young fish to feed and hide. 32. Why were many rivers in Britain artificially straightened in the past? A. To increase the natural flow of rivers. B. To improve water habitats for wildlife. C. To create barriers for flood management. D. To protect people and land from floods. 33. What problem may be caused by removing a river’s meanders? A. Lower water levels. B. Poorer farming land. C. Worse water quality. D. Drier wildlife habitats. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of adding meanders. B. The impacts of straightening rivers. C. The examples of controlling floods. D. The needs of increasing water speed. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Nature conservation is often a long game. B. Species co-exist and function as a whole. C. Eco-recovery can happen at a high speed. D. Bio-diversity relies on human intervention. 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。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____36____. You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful. ____37____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information. Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they weren’t listened to or heard. ____38____This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they’re not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned. It’s hard to stop overexplaining when it’s hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and noticing when you’re explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little, It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more. ____39____. One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____40____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A. In this case you are overexplaining. B. But it gets easier with more practice. C. You feel sorry for what you have explained. D. Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E. They were worried about the environment they grew up in. F. Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain. G. By overexplaining, you intend to save the other person’s feelings. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last spring, I was waiting to hear from my editors about my second novel.

He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence. After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television?” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch. Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess?” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play?” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually. Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns (兵) moved straight forward; knights (马) moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces... I was amazed at how patient he was. We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real. 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。 Our first game began and I played with full attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

But you’re selling yourself short if you don’t venture beyond the photo-friendly installation (装置). LACMA’s collections feature modernist masterpieces, large-scale contemporary works (including Richard Serra’s massive swirling (旋转) sculpture, Josiah McElheny’s Island Universe, and Burden’s another work called Metropolis Ⅱ), traditional Japanese screens and some of L.A.’s most consistently fantastic special exhibitions. However, the eastern half of LACMA’s campus is mostly closed as it wraps up a massive redesign called the David Geffen Galleries, due to open to the public in April 2026 (you can already see the massive concrete structure, which crosses over the top of Wilshire Boulevard, from the outside). But you’ll still find about a half-dozen special exhibitions and a bright presentation of the modern collection located in the existing Resnick Pavilion and BCAM. What’s On California-based Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin explores the Golden State through video installations and paintings; graphic designer Beeple’s Diffuse Control lets visitors collaborate with AI on a video-based sculpture; and Tavares Strachan’s first museum exhibition in L.A. is a collection of multisensory installations. Address 5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Opening hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 11:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m.; Friday 11:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday 10:00 a.m. — 7:00 p.m.; closed on Wednesday Pricing L. A. County Residents: $23, seniors and students $19, 17 and under free; Monday — Friday after 3:00 pm free. Non-residents: $28, seniors and students $24, ages 3 — 17 $13, 2 and under free. Free every second Tuesday of the month. 21. Who has two art pieces on display at LACMA? A. Beeple. B. Richard Serra. C. Chris Burden. D. Josiah McElheny. 22. What can visitors do at LACMA? A. Make unique sculptures in person. B. Admire a Chinese artist’s works. C. Enjoy classic films on Wednesdays. D. Watch a video about many designers. 23. How much is the Monday admission for a young foreign couple and their 3-year-old child? A. $46 B. $56 C. $65 D. $69 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍洛杉矶郡立艺术博物馆的展品、在建工程、当前展览信息以及开放时间和门票价格。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Chris Burden’s Urban Light, a piece made up of 202 cast-iron street lamps gathered from around L.A. and restored to working order, quickly became one of the city’s landmarks.(克里斯·伯登的《城市之光》由202盏从洛杉矶各地收集来并修复正常使用的铸铁路灯组成，迅速成为该市的地标之一。)”和“LACMA’s collections feature modernist masterpieces, large-scale contemporary works (including Richard Serra’s massive swirling sculpture, Josiah McElheny’s Island Universe, and Burden’s another work called Metropolis Ⅱ)(洛杉矶郡立艺术博物馆的藏品以现代主义杰作、大型当代作品为特色，包括理查德·塞拉的大型旋转雕塑、约西亚·麦克尔亨尼的《岛屿宇宙》以及伯登的另一部作品《大都会Ⅱ》)”可知，Chris Burden有两件作品在馆内展出。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What’s On”部分中的“California-based Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin explores the Golden State through video installations and paintings(旅居加州的中国艺术家郑重宾通过影像装置和绘画探索金州)”可知，游客可以在馆内欣赏一位中国艺术家的作品。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Pricing”部分中的“Non-residents: $28，seniors and students $24, ages 3 — 17 $13, 2 and under free. Free every second Tuesday of the month.(非居民：28美元，老年人和学生24美元，3至17岁13美元，2岁及以下免费。每月第二个周二免费。)”和“Monday — Friday after 3:00 pm free.(周一至周五下午3点后免费)”可知，一对外国年轻夫妇和他们3岁的孩子周一入场需要支付28×2+13=69美元。故选D项。 B It begins with a steady buzz, echoing through the towering forests of Alaska. It’s a signal, but not one to be alarmed by. It’s less “Duck and cover,” more “Come and get it!” So you step outside your house, where there are few roads and fewer neighbors, and see it. A single-engine plane flies low, just a few dozen feet above the ground. The plane’s door whips open, and a black package is thrown out, plummeting(速降) to earth with a yellow tail hanging behind. Congratulations, you’ve just been turkey bombed! The “bomb” is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag, tied with yellow caution tape for easy visibility. Since 2021, Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them from the air to remote Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel, moose or Spam for Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country. It’s a time when rivers, which often serve as highways in Alaska’s remote areas, are too frozen for boats to travel but not frozen enough for cars. Their only option for reaching “civilization” is seven hours on a snowmobile. Or, if you’re a pilot like Keim, you can take to the air. Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna, an isolated village. A neighbor mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four. This reminded Keim of her childhood, when a family friend would drop a turkey — and sometimes a box of candy inside the package just for her — from his plane to her family every year. “I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans without road access,” says Keim. “It wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’d bring me a lot of joy to bless other people like we were blessed.” Now Keim is working to turn this personal effort into a non- profit called the Alaska Turkey Drop Project. The project has received enough donations from some individuals and local businesses, with others donating their time and goods. Every year, that noisy plane soaring through Alaska’s sky brings not just turkeys, but a heartwarming reminder of connection in the wilderness. 24. What can be learned about the “bomb”? A. It’s a dangerous explosive. B. It’s sent to Alaskans for Christmas. C. It’s a frozen turkey with yellow tape. D. It’s dropped from a high- flying plane. 25. Why is Thanksgiving a challenging time in remote Alaska? A. Pilots avoid snowy flights. B. Snowmobiles are only for short trips. C. All roads are blocked by snow. D. Half-frozen rivers are unfit for boats or cars. 26. What inspired Keim to start the “bombing” flights? A. A demand for her nonprofit project. B. A suggestion from her family. C. Neighbor’s hardship and childhood favor. D. Hunting squirrels with neighbors. 27. Which of the following best describes Keim? A. Caring and independent. B. Sympathetic and innovative. C. Decisive and tolerant. D. Adventurous and ambitious. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了阿拉斯加居民埃丝特·基姆自 2021 年起，用飞机向交通不便的偏远地区空投火鸡，帮助当地居民过感恩节，如今已发展成公益项目。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The “bomb” is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag, tied with yellow caution tape for easy visibility.( “炸弹”是一个15磅重的冷冻火鸡，装在一个垃圾袋里，用黄色的警示胶带捆扎以便易于辨认。)”可知，“炸弹”是绑着黄色警示胶带的冷冻火鸡。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country. It’s a time when rivers, which often serve as highways in Alaska’s remote areas, are too frozen for boats to travel but not frozen enough for cars.(在本国这个地区的感恩节，这个时间颇为棘手。此时，河流（在阿拉斯加偏远地区常常充当公路的角色）既太冰冻以至于船只无法通行，又不够冰冻以至于汽车无法行驶。)”可知，在阿拉斯加偏远地区，感恩节期间会是个艰难的时期，因为半结冰的河流不适合船只或汽车通行。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna, an isolated village. A neighbor mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four. This reminded Keim of her childhood, when a family friend would drop a turkey — and sometimes a box of candy inside the package just for her — from his plane to her family every year. “I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans without road access,” says Keim. “It wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’d bring me a lot of joy to bless other people like we were blessed.”(基姆在探望了斯昆特纳这个偏远村庄的家人后，开始了她的“火鸡投掷”飞行活动。一位邻居提到，他猎杀的一只松鼠几乎无法够他那四口之家吃。这使基姆想起了自己的童年时光，那时一位家庭朋友每年都会从他的飞机上向她的家人投掷一只火鸡——有时还会附上一盒糖果。“我要给阿拉斯加那些没有公路交通的偏远居民投掷火鸡，”基姆说道，“这没什么大不了的，但像我们一样给别人祝福会给我带来很多快乐。”)”可知，基姆开始这种“投掷”飞行是因为邻居的困境以及儿时的友好情谊。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文以及第四段中“Since 2021, Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them from the air to remote Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel, moose or Spam for Thanksgiving dinner.(自 2021 年以来，阿拉斯加原住民埃丝特·基姆一直从空中向那些偏远阿拉斯加居民投放这些火鸡，否则他们在感恩节享用不了火鸡而只能吃松鼠、驼鹿肉或午餐肉。)”可知，基姆看到偏远地区居民感恩节食物匮乏的困境后主动伸出援手，体现了她的同情心（sympathetic）；她创新地采用飞机空投火鸡的方式解决交通不便的问题，体现了她的创新性（innovative）。由此可知，基姆是一个慈善且富有创新精神的人。 C Tree-planting, intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, has become a synonym (同义词) for climate action. In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone. They exist within complex communities, helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with. The woodland isn’t nature’s only carbon sink: Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity. That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants to get across. Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. That’s because animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem. He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon. In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) populations during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink. Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity, said Schmitz. “They think that animals either aren’t important enough or that you can’t take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,” he said. “Our message is that you can and should. It can be a win-win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake.” We need a full picture - with both trees and animals - to explore nature’s full potential. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide. B. Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis. C. Grasslands and oceans help maintain biodiversity. D. People are not thinking through trees properly. 29. What does the underlined word “animate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Restart. B. Activate. C. Disturb. D. Break. 30. What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest? A. Animals can change the ecosystem’s capacity to store carbon. B. The conservation of animals is still a serious issue. C. Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations. D. The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change B. Woodland Isn’t the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth C. Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties without Animals D. The Serengeti Ecosystem Needs Urgent Improvement 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了没有动物，树木可能无法履行它们的职责，解释了树木在生态系统中与动物的相互作用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone.(在我们对树木的持续关注中，我们已经形成了一种固定的理解：树木吸收二氧化碳，仅此而已。事实是，树木单独生长不好)”可知，人们没有正确地理解树木。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem.(合著者Oswald J. Schmitz是耶鲁大学的生态学教授，他说，如果没有合适的动物在它们的生态系统中，树木可能无法有效地完成它们的碳吸收工作)”说明生态系统合适的动物能激发树木有效地完成它们的碳吸收工作。故划线单词意思是“激活，激发”，与activate同义。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon.(他补充说，野生动物的存在可能会引起反馈效应，改变生态系统吸收、释放或运输碳的能力)”和第三段中“In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) population s during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (例如，在Serengeti，角马的数量在20世纪中期急剧下降，使得草疯狂生长，最终引发了野火，每年消耗80%的生态系统，并导致二氧化碳净释放到大气中)”可推知，作者提到角马是想说动物可以改变生态系统储存碳的能力。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段中“Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. (合著者之一、耶鲁大学生态学教授Oswald J. Schmitz表示，如果生态系统中没有合适的动物，树木可能无法有效地完成碳吸收工作)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述树木在生态系统中与动物的相互作用，没有动物，树木可能无法履行它们的职责。选项C“没有动物，树木可能无法履行它们的职责”最符合文章标题。故选C项。 D Swindale Beck meanders (蜿蜒) through fields, farmland and valleys. However, not long ago, the river took a far more straight course. A healthy river should be winding, free flowing and filled with wildlife. The ideal river is “very dynamic, messy and chaotic”, says Glen Swainson, a manager of RSPB. In Britain, however, 97% of rivers are broken up by artificial barriers. And for centuries rivers have been slowly artificially straightened to stop water from flooding and spilling onto farmland and houses. But removing a river’s natural meanders has, in fact, achieved the opposite effect. Instead, it has disrupted the flow of rivers and destroyed water habitats, water quality and heightened flood risk. As the poor health of Europe’s rivers and streams continues to make news, communities are turning towards natural solutions to restore their rivers. According to Tom Hayek, a natural flood management specialist, adding meanders into rivers has two benefits — it changes both the volume and the speed of water. Firstly, it decreases what’s known as flow conveyance. “When the length of the river is increased, you spread water over a wider area. This allows more water to sit up in the headwaters.” The second impact is on speed. Put simply, the more structure you add to the shape of a river, the slower the water will move down it. If it’s straight, water will “fly” through, says Hayek. When the flow of water is slowed, it creates deeper pools for fish to gather and rest. With meanders added to Swindale Beck, the results were astonishing, says Annabel Rushton, a visitor experience manager. “Within three months of that river being re-wiggled, the salmon (鲑鱼) were spawning (产卵) in that one kilometre area for the first time in over150 years,” she says. Scientists have also noted an increase in fish gathering. Then, there were the knock-on effects. Water-loving plants returned, providing cover for young fish to feed and hide. 32. Why were many rivers in Britain artificially straightened in the past? A. To increase the natural flow of rivers. B. To improve water habitats for wildlife. C. To create barriers for flood management. D. To protect people and land from floods. 33. What problem may be caused by removing a river’s meanders? A. Lower water levels. B. Poorer farming land. C. Worse water quality. D. Drier wildlife habitats. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of adding meanders. B. The impacts of straightening rivers. C. The examples of controlling floods. D. The needs of increasing water speed. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Nature conservation is often a long game. B. Species co-exist and function as a whole. C. Eco-recovery can happen at a high speed. D. Bio-diversity relies on human intervention. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述英国很多河流被截弯取直以防止洪水泛滥，事实上，这反而产生了相反的效果，专家指出恢复河流弯道具有生态与防洪效益。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And for centuries rivers have been slowly artificially straightened to stop water from flooding and spilling onto farmland and houses.(而且数百年来，河流一直被人为地逐渐拉直，以防止洪水泛滥并避免水流溢出农田和房屋)”可知，河流被人工拉直是为了保护农田和人员免受洪水侵害。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, it has disrupted the flow of rivers and destroyed water habitats, water quality and heightened flood risk.(相反，这破坏了河流的流动并破坏了水生生物的栖息地、水质，并增加了洪水风险)”可知，这样做使得水质变差。故选C。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容，结合首句“According to Tom Hayek, a natural flood management specialist, adding meanders into rivers has two benefits — it changes both the volume and the speed of water.(据自然洪水管理专家Tom Hayek称，在河流中增加弯道有两个好处——它既能改变水流的量，也能改变水流的速度)”可知，该段主要通过专家之口解释了增加河流弯道如何通过物理机制降低流速并减少洪灾风险，旨在说明增加弯道带来的积极影响，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With meanders added to Swindale Beck, the results were astonishing, says Annabel Rushton, a visitor experience manager. “Within three months of that river being re-wiggled, the salmon (鲑鱼) were spawning (产卵) in that one kilometre area for the first time in over150 years,” she says. Scientists have also noted an increase in fish gathering. Then, there were the knock-on effects. Water-loving plants returned, providing cover for young fish to feed and hide.(Annabel Rushton是一位游客体验经理，她表示，当斯温戴尔河增加了弯曲部分后，结果令人震惊。“在那条河重新弯曲后的三个月内，这条河的一公里范围内（出现了）鲑鱼产卵的现象，这是超过 150 年来首次发生的情况。”她说。科学家还注意到鱼类聚集的数量有所增加。此外，还有连锁反应。喜水的植物重新生长，为幼鱼提供了遮蔽处，让它们能够觅食和躲避)”可知，河流重新蜿蜒后，其结果是“惊人的：短短三个月内，鲑鱼就在此产卵，这是150年来的第一次。同时其他鱼类数量增加，水生植物也随之恢复，这些事实有力地证明了生态恢复的速度可以非常之快。故选C。 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。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____36____. You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful. ____37____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information. Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they weren’t listened to or heard. ____38____This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they’re not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned. It’s hard to stop overexplaining when it’s hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and noticing when you’re explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little, It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more. ____39____. One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____40____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A. In this case you are overexplaining. B. But it gets easier with more practice. C. You feel sorry for what you have explained. D. Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E. They were worried about the environment they grew up in. F. Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain. G. By overexplaining, you intend to save the other person’s feelings. 【答案】36.

Tadd says, “Compared with The Analects of Confucius, which ___57___ (root) in the traditions and rules of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), The Tao Te Ching does not involve specific names, places, ___58___ social systems.” This quality allows it to go beyond cultural boundaries and speak directly to universal human concerns. Tadd’s connection with The Tao Te Ching began at the age of 14, when he came ___59___ an English edition in a small-town library in the United States. That chance encounter sparked ___60___ one-of-a-kind interest in Chinese culture. Years later, while ___61___ (study) a Latin translation of The Republic by Plato, Tadd wondered if The Tao Te Ching could also be translated into Latin. His search eventually led him to the British Library, ___62___ he discovered a Latin manuscript of the text, translated by early missionaries.

He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence. After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television?” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch. Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess?” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play?” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually. Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns (兵) moved straight forward; knights (马) moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces... I was amazed at how patient he was. We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real. 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。 Our first game began and I played with full attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Our first game began and I played with full attention. I carefully moved each piece, recalling Grandpa’s instructions, and even tried to trap his king. Grandpa smiled gently, sometimes nodding in approval when I made a good move. When I accidentally moved a pawn wrong, he didn’t blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it. The room was no longer silent — we chatted quietly about the game, and I even heard Grandpa laugh for the first time that afternoon. I forgot my initial unwillingness and got totally absorbed in the chessboard. We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. She stood at the door, smiling in surprise as she saw us leaning over the chessboard, talking and laughing. “I see you two have made friends,” she said. Grandpa looked at me warmly and patted my shoulder: “This kid is a quick learner.” I grinned, feeling a warm connection with him. As we left, I told Grandpa I would come back to play chess with him again. For the first time, I realized that Grandpa wasn’t unfriendly — he just needed someone to share his time with, and that someone could be me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了起初作者不情愿独自陪伴因奶奶离世而消沉的爷爷，二人相处气氛沉默。偶然发现木棋盒后，爷爷耐心教作者下国际象棋。对弈过程中，爷爷温和耐心，作者们轻声交谈、有说有笑，隔阂渐渐消散。妈妈来接作者时，作者已然放下抵触，读懂了爷爷的孤单，并约定日后再来陪他下棋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们的第一场比赛开始了，我全神贯注地投入其中。”可知，第一段可描写爷爷耐心教作者下国际象棋。对弈过程中，爷爷温和耐心，作者们轻声交谈、有说有笑，隔阂渐渐消散。 ②由第二段首句内容“当妈妈回来时，我们正玩得非常开心。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈来接作者时，作者已然放下抵触，读懂了爷爷的孤单，并约定日后再来陪他下棋。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——爷爷耐心——隔阂消除——妈妈来接作者——作者理解了爷爷的孤单 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①指导：guide/instruct ②想起：recall/remember ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不愿意：unwillingness/reluctance ②不友好：unfriendly/unapproachable 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I accidentally moved a pawn wrong, he didn’t blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] For the first time, I realized that Grandpa wasn’t unfriendly — he just needed someone to share his time with, and that someone could be me.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
