The worst flooding in two decades hit Hawaii, sweeping homes from their foundations, covering neighborhoods in volcanic mud, and littering beaches with debris (碎片). Although no deaths had been reported, hundreds of people across Oahu and Maui had been rescued from their now-destroyed homes. While the National Weather Service issued flash flood watches for Hawaii, local residents stepped up to help neighbors, rescue animals, and begin recovery efforts themselves.
One example was the folks at One Ocean Diving, a popular shark diving destination in Oahu. They had been conducting beach cleanups with fellow diving company Hawaii Eco Divers, as locals congregated to get rid of rubbish and debris that had washed up on the island’s shores.
Before heading to the beach, the team at One Ocean Diving worked in surrounding neighborhoods, helping residents clear debris from their homes. Volunteers were tearing out drywall and removing potential dangers otherwise, mold (霉菌) might grow well there, threatening people’s safety. Part of the rebuilding effort also involved protecting the natural environment and ensuring that waste didn’t further pollute the waters.
Cleanup efforts also focused on environmental protection. At Kahana Bay, volunteers were removing microplastics that built up after the storms. “These small pieces can have a huge impact on ocean life,” the volunteers said. “Let’s come together, give back, and protect the ocean that gives us so much. Every piece we pick up makes a difference.” The work was tough. Some volunteers fell ill from exposure to mold. Fortunately, medical school volunteers had been standing by at cleanup events to provide free care to anyone in need.
While local leaders acknowledged that the government’s assistance would provide vital support, residents showed no signs of slowing down. “This is a marathon, not a rush,” One Ocean Diving shared on social media. “Any day you can, please come down here to lend a helping hand to a family impacted by these floods.”
4. Which of the following can best describe the local residents?
A. Ambitious and hopeful. B. Kind and generous.
C. Wealthy and powerful. D. Selfless and united.
5. What does the underlined word “congregated” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Gathered. B. Failed. C. Signed. D. Preferred.
6. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4?
A. Microplastics do not harm sea life. B. Cleaning work is fast and easy.
C. Every removed piece helps nature. D. Mold removal is their main task.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Worst Flooding Recently Hit Hawaii B. Marine Life Suffers Severe Flood Damage
C. Locals Lead Flood Recovery Efforts D. Saving Environment Is Saving Ourselves
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了夏威夷遭遇二十年特大洪水,灾情损失严重。当地民众自发互助救援、清理废墟与海洋塑料,齐心开展灾后恢复,各界也相互帮扶共渡难关。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“While the National Weather Service issued flash flood watches for Hawaii, local residents stepped up to help neighbors, rescue animals, and begin recovery efforts themselves.(尽管美国国家气象局已向夏威夷发布山洪预警,但当地居民还是主动伸出援手,帮助邻里、营救动物,并自发开展灾后清理与重建工作。)”以及倒数第二段“Let’s come together, give back, and protect the ocean that gives us so much.(让我们团结起来,回馈社会,保护为我们提供如此之多资源的海洋)”可知,当地居民无私且团结一致。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“to get rid of rubbish and debris that had washed up on the island’s shores(清理被冲上岛岸的垃圾和杂物)”可知,当地人齐聚海岸清理杂物。故划线词意思是“聚集”。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Cleanup efforts also focused on environmental protection. At Kahana Bay, volunteers were removing microplastics that built up after the storms. “These small pieces can have a huge impact on ocean life,” the volunteers said. “Let’s come together, give back, and protect the ocean that gives us so much. Every piece we pick up makes a difference.” The work was tough. Some volunteers fell ill from exposure to mold. Fortunately, medical school volunteers had been standing by at cleanup events to provide free care to anyone in need.(清理工作还侧重于环境保护。在卡哈纳湾,志愿者们正在清除风暴过后积聚的微塑料。“这些小颗粒会对海洋生物产生巨大影响,”志愿者们说道。“让我们齐心协力,回报社会,保护为我们提供了如此之多的海洋。我们捡起的每一粒垃圾都能产生作用。”这项工作十分艰难。一些志愿者因接触霉菌而生病。幸运的是,医学院的志愿者一直在清理活动中待命,为有需要的人提供免费治疗)”可知,第4段所传达的信息是我们捡起的每一小块垃圾都能产生积极影响。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The worst flooding in two decades hit Hawaii, sweeping homes from their foundations, covering neighborhoods in volcanic mud, and littering beaches with debris (碎片). Although no deaths had been reported, hundreds of people across Oahu and Maui had been rescued from their now-destroyed homes. While the National Weather Service issued flash flood watches for Hawaii, local residents stepped up to help neighbors, rescue animals, and begin recovery efforts themselves.(夏威夷遭遇了二十年来最严重的洪水。房屋被连根冲垮,居民区被火山泥浆覆盖,海滩上遍布杂物残骸。目前暂无人员遇难的报道,但瓦胡岛和毛伊岛已有数百人从被毁的家园中获救。尽管美国国家气象局已向夏威夷发布山洪预警,但当地居民还是主动伸出援手,帮助邻里、营救动物,并自发开展灾后清理与重建工作。)”结合文章主要说明了夏威夷遭遇二十年特大洪水,灾情损失严重。当地民众自发互助救援、清理废墟与海洋塑料,齐心开展灾后恢复,各界也相互帮扶共渡难关。可知,C选项“当地居民主导洪灾救援工作”最符合文章标题。

According to the American Tinnitus Association, more than 25 million adults in the United States have tinnitus, a condition that includes strange sounds like ringing and buzzing in the ears, and may even lead to hearing loss. So far, there has been no known cure. However, with the help of tools like hearing aids or mindfulness cures, many are able to reduce their symptoms (症状).
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new device called Lenire, which uses a unique method — electrical stimulation of the tongue — to help treat tinnitus. The device includes a plastic mouthpiece equipped with small metal pieces that deliver gentle electrical pulses (脉冲) to the tongue during one-hour treatment sessions. Meanwhile, users wear a set of headphones that play specific sounds, such as tones and ocean waves. The goal is to guide the brain to pay less attention to the strange sounds and recognize that these sounds are not important. Over time, the brain learns to ignore them.
Singer-songwriter Victoria Banks shared her experience with Lenire. “It’s kind of like if I lived near a waterfall and the waterfall was constantly going. After using Lenire, I began to feel better. My brain is now focusing on other things, like listening to, writing, and performing music,” she said.
Although the device is not a complete solution for everyone, a recent study provides encouraging results. Thousands of U.S. tinnitus patients have been successfully treated with Lenire. After six weeks of treatment, 72.6% of patients with bothersome tinnitus experienced a meaningful reduction in their symptoms. After 12 weeks, that number increased to 81.8%.
Richard Bistrong, a patient treated at New York Hearing Doctors, described how Lenire changed his life. “Lenire was nothing less than a game-changer in my life. I went from severe, almost unbearable tinnitus that required medication to treat depression and anxiety, to being able to enjoy life again after four months of using Lenire. Three years later, I can enjoy my life and not worry about my tinnitus anymore,” he said.
8. How does Lenire help treat tinnitus?
A. It functions like hearing aids.
B. It uses some mindfulness therapies.
C. It sends gentle electrical pulses to the ear.
D. It trains the brain to ignore the sounds.
9. Why did Victoria Banks mention waterfall in her words?
A. To show her hobby of natural sounds.
B. To explain the constant nature of tinnitus.
C. To make her words more meaningful.
D. To describe the effect of sounds on writing.
10. How is the fourth paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making a comparison. B. By listing some examples.
C. By providing figures. D. By showing a timeline.
11. What can we infer about Richard Bistrong from the last paragraph?
A. His condition has greatly improved with the device.
B. He no longer requires any form of medical care.
C. He still suffered from depression after treatment.
D. The treatment had limited effect on his condition.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍耳鸣病症现状,讲解新型治疗器械 Lenire 的工作原理、实际治疗效果以及患者使用后的真实改善情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The goal is to guide the brain to pay less attention to the strange sounds and recognize that these sounds are not important. Over time, the brain learns to ignore them. (目标是引导大脑减少对奇怪声音的关注,并认识到这些声音并不重要。随着时间的推移,大脑学会忽略它们。)”可知,Lenire的作用是训练大脑忽略耳鸣声。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Victoria Banks所说“It's kind of like if I lived near a waterfall and the waterfall was constantly going. (这就像我住在瀑布附近,瀑布一直在响。)”可知,她用瀑布的比喻来说明耳鸣是持续不断的、令人困扰的声音,即解释耳鸣的持续性特征。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“After six weeks of treatment, 72.6% of patients with bothersome tinnitus experienced a meaningful reduction in their symptoms. After 12 weeks, that number increased to 81.8%. (经过六周治疗后,72.6%的烦人性耳鸣患者症状得到显著缓解。12周后,这一数字上升至81.8%。)”可知,本段主要通过列举具体的数据 (72.6%、81.8%等)来展示Lenire的治疗效果。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Richard Bistrong所说“ I went from severe, almost unbearable tinnitus that required medication to treat depression and anxiety, to being able to enjoy life again after four months of using Lenire. Three years later, I can enjoy my life and not worry about my tinnitus anymore (在使用Lenire治疗四个月后,我的耳鸣症状从严重到几乎难以忍受(曾需药物治疗以缓解抑郁和焦虑)转变为能够重新享受生活。三年后,我可以尽情享受生活,不再为耳鸣问题烦恼。)”可推知,他的病情在使用该设备后得到了极大改善。

For decades, the story of coastal risk has been dominated by climate change and rising seas. But a new global study suggests that, for hundreds of millions of people living on river deltas (三角洲) — including cities like New Orleans and Bangkok — an even more immediate threat is unfolding beneath their feet. Across much of the world, the land itself is sinking, and in many places, it’s sinking faster than the ocean is rising.
“It’s a real call to action,” said Professor Robert Nicholls, a coastal scientist and co-author of the study. “Before this, nobody had a global view of delta sinking. This study shows how common the problem is and really highlights the need to respond.”
Researchers analysed satellite data across 40 major river deltas from 2014 to 2024, creating the first high-resolution global picture of how fast land is rising or falling. The findings were striking. At least 35 percent of delta land is currently sinking, and in most deltas, more than half of the surface is going down. In 18 of the 40 deltas, the ground is sinking faster than local sea levels are rising.
The study looked at three human-linked drivers of land sinking: groundwater extraction (开采), reduced sediment (沉积物) supply, and urban expansion. Of these, groundwater extraction stood out as the strongest overall predictor. When water is removed from underground, the soft sediments begin to collapse and press together. Crucially, this process cannot be changed: once sediments squeeze together, they do not spring back even when water returns.
The authors argue that sinking land has been dangerously overlooked in global climate-risk planning, partly because it is seen as a local problem rather than a global one. But local does not mean small. In many deltas, sinking land will remain the main driver of relative sea-level rise for decades. Once land has sunk, lifting cities is not an option, and communities may face hard choices about moving away. As Nicholls put it, “The first key thing is to recognise there’s a problem.”
12. How did Robert Nicholls feel when speaking in paragraph 2?
A. Satisfied. B. Frightened. C. Excited. D. Concerned.
13. What does the new study mainly show?
A. Land sinking can be measured by satellite.
B. Coastal people take land sinking for granted.
C. Land sinking is becoming a global phenomenon.
D. Land sinking causes more damage than other disasters.
14. What is the major cause of fast land sinking?
A. Humans pump out groundwater.
B. The urban areas are expanding fast.
C. Too much sediment is taken away.
D. Soft land is more likely to lose.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Land sinks faster than sea levels rise everywhere.
B. Climate change gives rise to coastal risks.
C. Many sinking river deltas threaten their residents.
D. Recognizing a problem is the most important.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C

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。
Mahmadabad Ki Vav, a 500-year-old stepwell in Gujarat, had long been neglected, buried under waste and forgotten. ____16____
Built in the late 15th century, this stepwell was once a vital part of community life. It held nearly 200,000 liters of water, helped recharge groundwater, and supported daily life in the dry region. Its design — carved stone, deep steps, and pavilions (亭) — was both beautiful and practical. Over time, however, the stepwell was used less frequently. ____17____ Years of waste and mud turned it into a landfill, hidden in plain sight.
People passed by it every day, but few paused to wonder what lay beneath until a group of citizens chose to step forward. With support from Drishti Foundation, they came with tools and a clear goal to restore it to its original form and function. ____18____ Some formed human chains to pass buckets of waste, while others cleared blocked water channels. Slowly, the stonework and carvings began to reappear.
Among them was Jishnu Mehta, a 22-year-old student, who said the experience was inspiring. “People from all backgrounds worked side by side. ____19____ Our focus was on restoring them as working water bodies,” he said.
By the end of the day, volunteers had removed 713 kilograms of waste and reopened water channels. The stepwell can now once again collect water and serve the community.
____20____ It brought people together and reminded them of the value of shared spaces. As Dinesh put it, “Restoration, not replacement. These structures still hold the wisdom of the past — and the promise of the future.”
A. These structures still help save water.
B. The effort was about more than cleaning.
C. Strangers became teammates within minutes.
D. But the best designed systems require continued care.
E. By the 1980s, it had stopped functioning as a water source.
F. Yet on 31 January, volunteers came together to change that.
G. Seeing a community unite to restore a place felt truly meaningful.
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. B

【导语】古吉拉特邦一处五百年阶梯井曾遭荒废掩埋,民众自发组队开展清理修复工作。古井恢复蓄水功用,此次行动也凝聚人心,尽显古建筑蕴藏的智慧价值。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Mahmadabad Ki Vav, a 500-year-old stepwell in Gujarat, had long been neglected, buried under waste and forgotten.(马马达巴德的瓦夫(一种古老的阶梯式水井)位于古吉拉特邦,已有 500 年的历史。它长期被忽视,被垃圾掩埋,被人遗忘)”可知,开篇提到古阶梯井长期被忽视、被垃圾掩埋遗忘,空后转入介绍阶梯井的历史,F选项“然而1月31日,志愿者聚集起来改变了这一状况”中that指代前文的荒废状况,直接引出事件,逻辑衔接自然。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Built in the late 15th century, this stepwell was once a vital part of community life. It held nearly 200,000 liters of water, helped recharge groundwater, and supported daily life in the dry region. Its design — carved stone, deep steps, and pavilions (亭) — was both beautiful and practical. Over time, however, the stepwell was used less frequently.(这座水井建于 15 世纪末,曾是社区生活的重要组成部分。它能容纳近 20 万升的水,有助于补充地下水,并支撑着这片干旱地区的日常生活。其设计——石雕结构、深长的台阶以及亭子——既美观又实用。然而,随着时间的推移,这座水井的使用频率逐渐降低)”以及后文“Years of waste and mud turned it into a landfill, hidden in plain sight.(多年的废弃和泥沙堆积使这里变成了一个垃圾填埋场,却依然隐匿于众人视野之中)”可知,前文提到阶梯井原本功能完善,后来使用频率越来越低,后文提到多年的垃圾把它变成了垃圾填埋场,E选项“到20世纪80年代,它已经不再作为水源发挥作用”顺承时间线:使用减少→完全停用→垃圾堆积,符合逻辑。
【18题详解】
根据上文“People passed by it every day, but few paused to wonder what lay beneath until a group of citizens chose to step forward. With support from Drishti Foundation, they came with tools and a clear goal to restore it to its original form and function.(人们每天都会路过这里,但很少有人停下来思考其下面究竟有什么。直到一群市民挺身而出,他们得到了德里希特基金会的支持,带着工具和明确的目标,决心将其恢复到原来的样子和功能)”以及后文“Some formed human chains to pass buckets of waste, while others cleared blocked water channels. Slowly, the stonework and carvings began to reappear.(一些人组成了人链来传递装满废物的桶,而另一些人则清理堵塞的排水通道。渐渐地,石雕和雕刻图案又开始重新显现出来)”可知,前文提到市民带着修复目标聚集到此,后文举例介绍不同人的分工劳动,C选项“陌生人很快就成了队友”衔接“民众聚集”和“分工劳动”,符合修复工作的开展顺序。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Among them was Jishnu Mehta, a 22-year-old student, who said the experience was inspiring. “People from all backgrounds worked side by side.(其中有一位名叫吉什努·梅塔的22岁学生,他表示这次经历令人深受鼓舞。“来自不同背景的人们并肩合作。”)”以及后文“Our focus was on restoring them as working water bodies,” he said.(他说:“我们的重点在于将它们恢复为能够正常运行的水体。”)”可知,这是参与修复的学生Jishnu的感悟,前文提到“不同背景的人并肩劳动”,后文提到“我们的核心目标是把它恢复成可使用的水体”,G选项“看到整个社区团结起来修复一处地方,真的非常有意义”符合人物发言的逻辑,承接经历、抒发感悟。
【20题详解】
根据后文“It brought people together and reminded them of the value of shared spaces. As Dinesh put it, “Restoration, not replacement. These structures still hold the wisdom of the past — and the promise of the future.”(它让人们团结在一起,并让他们意识到共享空间的重要性。正如迪内什所说:“修复而非重建。这些建筑依然承载着过去的智慧——并蕴含着未来的希望。”)”以及前文提到修复完成,阶梯井重新能蓄水服务社区,后文提到这项工作凝聚了民众,让人想起共享空间的价值,B选项“这项努力不止是清理垃圾”引出更深层的意义,完美衔接后文。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It happened a few years ago during a summer vacation. I was traveling with my parents in their old sports car. We were heading to a scenic spot in the mountains, excited for a relaxing trip. The car had always been reliable, but that day, it decided to give up on us at the worst possible moment.
We were on a busy highway, stuck in heavy traffic. The cars around us were moving slowly, one by one. Suddenly, without any warning, the engine of our car died. The dashboard (仪表盘) went dark. The car was completely dead. My father tried to restart it, but nothing happened. Just at that moment, traffic began to move again, and cars around us started speeding up.
I should mention that drivers in this area are known to be very rude. They always speed, change lanes (车道) without signaling, and often drive dangerously close to each other. It’s the kind of place where you really don’t want to break down.
There we were, sitting in a small car in the middle lane, surrounded by the most impatient and dangerous drivers in the world. Cars were rushing past us from both sides. Some drivers honked (按喇叭) angrily. Others turned all of a sudden at the last second. I felt terrified. My father turned on the flash lights, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. I could feel my heart racing as cars flew by.
My father called for help, but we were told it would take at least thirty minutes for someone to arrive. We had no choice but to wait. I held onto my seat, praying that no one would crash into us.
Then I noticed a large truck approaching from behind. At first, I thought the driver hadn’t seen us. The truck was coming fast. But then, something amazing happened. The truck stopped, blocking the vehicles behind it.
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。
A moment later, the driver jumped out and ran toward us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before long, the rescue vehicle arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
A moment later, the driver jumped out and ran toward us. “Engine trouble?” he asked. My father nodded helplessly. Without another word, the man positioned himself behind our car. “Put it in neutral (空档),” he instructed. Then he began pushing us toward the emergency lane. Meanwhile, his truck continued blocking the traffic, creating a temporary safe zone. The vehicles behind slowly wound their way. Once we were safe on the shoulder, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: “I once got into this kind of trouble and was helped out. Just pass on kindness.” My mother was nearly in tears.
Before long, the rescue vehicle arrived. The mechanic quickly found the problem — a dead engine. As our car was being loaded onto the rescue truck, I watched the truck driver walk back to his vehicle. “Wait!” my father called out, pulling out his wallet. The man waved a dismissive hand. “Buy me a coffee someday.” Then he was gone, driving back into the endless stream of traffic. That day, I learned that even in a place known for rude drivers, kindness can appear when you least expect it — often from the most unlikely strangers.

The worst flooding in two decades hit Hawaii, sweeping homes from their foundations, covering neighborhoods in volcanic mud, and littering beaches with debris (碎片). Although no deaths had been reported, hundreds of people across Oahu and Maui had been rescued from their now-destroyed homes. While the National Weather Service issued flash flood watches for Hawaii, local residents stepped up to help neighbors, rescue animals, and begin recovery efforts themselves.
One example was the folks at One Ocean Diving, a popular shark diving destination in Oahu. They had been conducting beach cleanups with fellow diving company Hawaii Eco Divers, as locals congregated to get rid of rubbish and debris that had washed up on the island’s shores.
Before heading to the beach, the team at One Ocean Diving worked in surrounding neighborhoods, helping residents clear debris from their homes. Volunteers were tearing out drywall and removing potential dangers otherwise, mold (霉菌) might grow well there, threatening people’s safety. Part of the rebuilding effort also involved protecting the natural environment and ensuring that waste didn’t further pollute the waters.
Cleanup efforts also focused on environmental protection. At Kahana Bay, volunteers were removing microplastics that built up after the storms. “These small pieces can have a huge impact on ocean life,” the volunteers said. “Let’s come together, give back, and protect the ocean that gives us so much. Every piece we pick up makes a difference.” The work was tough. Some volunteers fell ill from exposure to mold. Fortunately, medical school volunteers had been standing by at cleanup events to provide free care to anyone in need.
While local leaders acknowledged that the government’s assistance would provide vital support, residents showed no signs of slowing down. “This is a marathon, not a rush,” One Ocean Diving shared on social media. “Any day you can, please come down here to lend a helping hand to a family impacted by these floods.”
4. Which of the following can best describe the local residents?
A. Ambitious and hopeful. B. Kind and generous.
C. Wealthy and powerful. D. Selfless and united.
5. What does the underlined word “congregated” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Gathered. B. Failed. C. Signed. D. Preferred.
6. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4?
A. Microplastics do not harm sea life. B. Cleaning work is fast and easy.
C. Every removed piece helps nature. D. Mold removal is their main task.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Worst Flooding Recently Hit Hawaii B. Marine Life Suffers Severe Flood Damage
C. Locals Lead Flood Recovery Efforts D. Saving Environment Is Saving Ourselves
C
According to the American Tinnitus Association, more than 25 million adults in the United States have tinnitus, a condition that includes strange sounds like ringing and buzzing in the ears, and may even lead to hearing loss. So far, there has been no known cure. However, with the help of tools like hearing aids or mindfulness cures, many are able to reduce their symptoms (症状).
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new device called Lenire, which uses a unique method — electrical stimulation of the tongue — to help treat tinnitus. The device includes a plastic mouthpiece equipped with small metal pieces that deliver gentle electrical pulses (脉冲) to the tongue during one-hour treatment sessions. Meanwhile, users wear a set of headphones that play specific sounds, such as tones and ocean waves. The goal is to guide the brain to pay less attention to the strange sounds and recognize that these sounds are not important. Over time, the brain learns to ignore them.
Singer-songwriter Victoria Banks shared her experience with Lenire. “It’s kind of like if I lived near a waterfall and the waterfall was constantly going. After using Lenire, I began to feel better. My brain is now focusing on other things, like listening to, writing, and performing music,” she said.
Although the device is not a complete solution for everyone, a recent study provides encouraging results. Thousands of U.S. tinnitus patients have been successfully treated with Lenire. After six weeks of treatment, 72.6% of patients with bothersome tinnitus experienced a meaningful reduction in their symptoms. After 12 weeks, that number increased to 81.8%.
Richard Bistrong, a patient treated at New York Hearing Doctors, described how Lenire changed his life. “Lenire was nothing less than a game-changer in my life. I went from severe, almost unbearable tinnitus that required medication to treat depression and anxiety, to being able to enjoy life again after four months of using Lenire. Three years later, I can enjoy my life and not worry about my tinnitus anymore,” he said.
8. How does Lenire help treat tinnitus?
A. It functions like hearing aids.
B. It uses some mindfulness therapies.
C. It sends gentle electrical pulses to the ear.
D. It trains the brain to ignore the sounds.
9. Why did Victoria Banks mention waterfall in her words?
A. To show her hobby of natural sounds.
B. To explain the constant nature of tinnitus.
C. To make her words more meaningful.
D. To describe the effect of sounds on writing.
10. How is the fourth paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making a comparison. B. By listing some examples.
C. By providing figures. D. By showing a timeline.
11. What can we infer about Richard Bistrong from the last paragraph?
A. His condition has greatly improved with the device.
B. He no longer requires any form of medical care.
C. He still suffered from depression after treatment.
D. The treatment had limited effect on his condition.
D
For decades, the story of coastal risk has been dominated by climate change and rising seas. But a new global study suggests that, for hundreds of millions of people living on river deltas (三角洲) — including cities like New Orleans and Bangkok — an even more immediate threat is unfolding beneath their feet. Across much of the world, the land itself is sinking, and in many places, it’s sinking faster than the ocean is rising.
“It’s a real call to action,” said Professor Robert Nicholls, a coastal scientist and co-author of the study. “Before this, nobody had a global view of delta sinking. This study shows how common the problem is and really highlights the need to respond.”
Researchers analysed satellite data across 40 major river deltas from 2014 to 2024, creating the first high-resolution global picture of how fast land is rising or falling. The findings were striking. At least 35 percent of delta land is currently sinking, and in most deltas, more than half of the surface is going down. In 18 of the 40 deltas, the ground is sinking faster than local sea levels are rising.
The study looked at three human-linked drivers of land sinking: groundwater extraction (开采), reduced sediment (沉积物) supply, and urban expansion. Of these, groundwater extraction stood out as the strongest overall predictor. When water is removed from underground, the soft sediments begin to collapse and press together. Crucially, this process cannot be changed: once sediments squeeze together, they do not spring back even when water returns.
The authors argue that sinking land has been dangerously overlooked in global climate-risk planning, partly because it is seen as a local problem rather than a global one. But local does not mean small. In many deltas, sinking land will remain the main driver of relative sea-level rise for decades. Once land has sunk, lifting cities is not an option, and communities may face hard choices about moving away. As Nicholls put it, “The first key thing is to recognise there’s a problem.”
12. How did Robert Nicholls feel when speaking in paragraph 2?
A. Satisfied. B. Frightened. C. Excited. D. Concerned.
13. What does the new study mainly show?

D. Soft land is more likely to lose.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Land sinks faster than sea levels rise everywhere.
B. Climate change gives rise to coastal risks.
C. Many sinking river deltas threaten their residents.
D. Recognizing a problem is the most important.

Mahmadabad Ki Vav, a 500-year-old stepwell in Gujarat, had long been neglected, buried under waste and forgotten. ____16____
Built in the late 15th century, this stepwell was once a vital part of community life. It held nearly 200,000 liters of water, helped recharge groundwater, and supported daily life in the dry region. Its design — carved stone, deep steps, and pavilions (亭) — was both beautiful and practical. Over time, however, the stepwell was used less frequently. ____17____ Years of waste and mud turned it into a landfill, hidden in plain sight.
People passed by it every day, but few paused to wonder what lay beneath until a group of citizens chose to step forward. With support from Drishti Foundation, they came with tools and a clear goal to restore it to its original form and function. ____18____ Some formed human chains to pass buckets of waste, while others cleared blocked water channels. Slowly, the stonework and carvings began to reappear.
Among them was Jishnu Mehta, a 22-year-old student, who said the experience was inspiring. “People from all backgrounds worked side by side. ____19____ Our focus was on restoring them as working water bodies,” he said.
By the end of the day, volunteers had removed 713 kilograms of waste and reopened water channels. The stepwell can now once again collect water and serve the community.
____20____ It brought people together and reminded them of the value of shared spaces. As Dinesh put it, “Restoration, not replacement. These structures still hold the wisdom of the past — and the promise of the future.”
A. These structures still help save water.
B. The effort was about more than cleaning.
C. Strangers became teammates within minutes.
D. But the best designed systems require continued care.
E. By the 1980s, it had stopped functioning as a water source.
F. Yet on 31 January, volunteers came together to change that.
G. Seeing a community unite to restore a place felt truly meaningful.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It happened a few years ago during a summer vacation. I was traveling with my parents in their old sports car. We were heading to a scenic spot in the mountains, excited for a relaxing trip. The car had always been reliable, but that day, it decided to give up on us at the worst possible moment.
We were on a busy highway, stuck in heavy traffic. The cars around us were moving slowly, one by one. Suddenly, without any warning, the engine of our car died. The dashboard (仪表盘) went dark. The car was completely dead. My father tried to restart it, but nothing happened. Just at that moment, traffic began to move again, and cars around us started speeding up.
I should mention that drivers in this area are known to be very rude. They always speed, change lanes (车道) without signaling, and often drive dangerously close to each other. It’s the kind of place where you really don’t want to break down.
There we were, sitting in a small car in the middle lane, surrounded by the most impatient and dangerous drivers in the world. Cars were rushing past us from both sides. Some drivers honked (按喇叭) angrily. Others turned all of a sudden at the last second. I felt terrified. My father turned on the flash lights, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. I could feel my heart racing as cars flew by.
My father called for help, but we were told it would take at least thirty minutes for someone to arrive. We had no choice but to wait. I held onto my seat, praying that no one would crash into us.
Then I noticed a large truck approaching from behind. At first, I thought the driver hadn’t seen us. The truck was coming fast. But then, something amazing happened. The truck stopped, blocking the vehicles behind it.
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。
A moment later, the driver jumped out and ran toward us.
