石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年高二年级下5月阶段检测 （高二年级5月月考） 英语试题 （本卷共150分，时间120分钟。） 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 37. 5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Fight climate change while traveling Whether you’re commuting or vacationing, travel can cause a lot of pollution, for most vehicles are powered by burning gas. As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency.   ·Use Greener Transportation Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions. ·Focus on Efficiency If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.   Vehicle Selection and Efficiency Strategies Selection Key Feature Website for information Energy-efficient vehicle Higher miles per gallon Environmental Protection Agency Electric vehicle Less greenhouse gas emissions than average new gasoline-powered cars Department of Energy Energy-saving electric vehicle charger Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills. EPA’s Energy Star 1. Which sector emitted the most greenhouse gases in the U.S. in 2022? A. Agriculture. B. Industry. C. Transportation. D. Electric Power Industry. 2. What makes gas-powered buses a better choice than electric cars? A. They use clean energy. B. They produce no waste. C. They consume less fuel per person. D. They travel with no speed limit. 3. Which website offers details about rewards for driving smart? A. EPA’s Energy Star. B. Department of Energy. C. Environmental Protection Agency. D. Department of Transportation. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍旅行中交通和旅游业对气候的污染，以及选择更环保的交通方式、注重燃油效率来应对气候变化的方法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022.(如图表所示，2022年美国交通运输部门占温室气体排放的主要份额)”可知，2022年美国温室气体排放量最大的部门是交通运输部门。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine.(即使公交车是汽油动力的，它也比汽车更有利于气候，因为它可以用一个发动机运送很多人)”可知，燃气动力公交车比汽车更好的原因是它每人消耗的燃油更少。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中的“Energy-saving electric vehicle charger: Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills. Website for information: EPA’s Energy Star.(节能电动汽车充电器：提高效率并获得诸如降低电费等好处。信息查询网站：EPA的能源之星)”可知，EPA的能源之星网站提供关于合理驾驶（使用节能充电器提升效率）相关奖励的详细信息。 B Being busy with personal and professional responsibilities makes many women feel stressed. Hot Mess Express offers the support needed to create a sense of order and comfort at home. Jen Hamilton, a nurse and mother of two, created Hot Mess Express in 2021 after learning that a large number of women, particularly moms, were struggling to manage their homes due to life’s many pressures. Through posting an online video about her journey, Jen has been able to reach a wide audience, expanding Hot Mess Express into a nationwide organization. “I’m a mom that suffered a lot of anxiety after giving birth to my son. It was really hard, all the housework was piling up and I wished I had someone that just came in and said, ‘Don’t worry about those dishes; I will wash them for you,” said Brandy Hall, the Chaos Coordinator for Hot Mess Express. But what truly sets Hot Mess Express apart is its empathy. The team recognizes that everyone has moments when life becomes hard. They show up with empathy. They don’t just offer cleaning and organizing services. More importantly, they are willing to talk with the women who are stuck at home and feel down. They are able to help ease that feeling. Those who have received help from the organization describe feeling a renewed sense of hope and energy. Their services have offered a fresh start to families burdened by housework and disorganization. In fact, many clients (委托人) believe the organization gives them the mental and emotional support they need to deal with other parts of their lives. As Hot Mess Express continues to grow, Jen and her team hope to inspire others to join them in helping women get back on their feet. Their message is simple: no one should have to face life’s challenges alone, and everyone needs a helping hand in times of need. 4. How did Jen make Hot Mess Express a nationwide organization? A.

The importance of team-building within the organization. 7. What is Jen’s next goal? A. To develop a line of cleaning products. B. To encourage more people to help women. C. To raise money for families in need of help. D. To expand Hot Mess Express internationally. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Hot Mess Express组织，为忙于个人和职业责任而感到有压力的女性提供支持。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Through posting an online video about her journey, Jen has been able to reach a wide audience, expanding Hot Mess Express into a nationwide organization.(通过在网上发布关于她旅程的视频，Jen已经能够接触到广泛的受众，将Hot Mess Express扩展为一个全国性的组织)”可知，Jen通过在网上发布关于她旅程的视频，将Hot Mess Express扩展为一个全国性的组织，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“More importantly, they are willing to talk with the women who are stuck at home and feel down. They are able to help ease that feeling.(更重要的是，他们愿意与那些被困在家里、情绪低落的女性交谈)”可知，Hot Mess Express的特殊之处在于它提供倾听，故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Those who have received help from the organization describe feeling a renewed sense of hope and energy. Their services have offered a fresh start to families burdened by housework and disorganization. In fact, many clients (委托人) believe the organization gives them the mental and emotional support they need to deal with other parts of their lives.(那些得到该组织帮助的人说，他们感到一种新的希望和活力。他们的服务为那些被家务和混乱所累的家庭提供了一个新的开始。事实上，许多客户认为，该组织为他们提供了处理生活中其他部分所需的精神和情感支持)”可知，本段主要讲述该组织对客户生活的影响，故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As Hot Mess Express continues to grow, Jen and her team hope to inspire others to join them in helping women get back on their feet.(随着Hot Mess Express的持续发展，Jen和她的团队希望激励其他人加入他们，帮助女性重新站起来)”可知，Jen的下一个目标是鼓励更多人帮助女性，故选B。 C Every week, Angela looked at her recycling bin, filled with shampoo bottles and plastic containers, with mixed feelings. Sure, it was a lot of plastic, but it was going to be recycled. Or so she thought. Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked. Determined to cut back on her plastic consumption, Angela got a starter kit from a company selling refillable household cleaners (家用清洁器). In it were tablets, containing concentrated hand soap as well as glass and bathroom cleaners, and four empty containers. She filled each one with tap water, then dropped in a tablet and watched it dissolve. If she was happy with the cleaners, she would order more tablets but reuse the containers. No new plastic required. Given plastic’s harmful effects on the environment, nearly three quarters of Americans say they are trying to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic, according to Pew Research Center. Since plastic is everywhere and avoiding it altogether is extraordinarily difficult, some, like Angela, have revived a once-customary practice: refilling containers. Household cleaners seem particularly prepared for a refill revolution, for many can be easily concentrated and reconstituted (with water. If just 10% to 20% of plastic packaging are reused, a report from the World Economic Forum estimates, the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean will be cut in half. Not everyone is as enthusiastic, though. Jan Dell, a chemical engineer, noted that many cleaning products are packaged in PET or HDPE, two types of plastic with relatively high recycling rates. So she is less concerned about them but far more concerned about the packaging of other products. “What companies should be focusing on is everything else that isn’t recyclable, that is single use and that often becomes plastic pollution,” she said, pointing to plastic bags and cups. “This is just a classic example of big corporations doing something to attract people’s attention over here on something that’s not the main issue to distract from all the single-use plastic they’re pushing out.” 8. Why is Angela mentioned? A. To promote a tablet. B. To lead in the topic. C. To clarify a concept. D. To recommend a kit. 9. What does the underlined word “dissolve” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Float over water. B. Turn over in water. C. Change color in water. D. Mix with water. 10. What’s Jan Dell’s attitude towards the deeds of big corporations? A. Critical. B. Favourable. C. Conservative. D. Unconcerned. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A chemistry paper. B. An academic report. C. A lifestyle magazine. D. A cleaner advertisement. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们使用家用清洁器，重复使用塑料容器，减少塑料的使用，降低塑料污染。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked.(然后，她的丈夫给她发了一些文章，透露这个国家只有不到6%的塑料被回收。她很震惊)”以及第二段“Determined to cut back on her plastic consumption, Angela got a starter kit from a company selling refillable household cleaners.(为了减少塑料消费，安吉拉从一家销售可重复使用家用清洁器的公司买了一套入门套件)”、“If she was happy with the cleaners, she would order more tablets but reuse the containers. No new plastic required.(如果她对清洁剂满意，她会订购更多的片剂，但重复使用容器。不需要新的塑料)”可知，安吉拉购买家用清洁器，重复使用塑料容器，减少塑料的使用，作者提到安吉拉是为了引入文章的主题。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“In it were tablets, containing concentrated hand soap as well as glass and bathroom cleaners, and four empty containers. She filled each one with tap water, then dropped in a tablet and watched it dissolve.(里面有片剂，包含浓缩洗手液、玻璃和浴室清洁剂，还有四个空容器。她给每一个都装满了自来水，然后放入一片，看着它dissolve)”以及常识可知，安吉拉在容器中放入水和片剂，片剂会溶于水，推测划线单词表示“溶解”，与Mix with water同义。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““What companies should be focusing on is everything else that isn’t recyclable, that is single use and that often becomes plastic pollution,” she said, pointing to plastic bags and cups. “This is just a classic example of big corporations doing something to attract people’s attention over here on something that’s not the main issue to distract from all the single-use plastic they’re pushing out.”(她指着塑料袋和塑料杯说：“公司应该关注的是其他不可回收的、一次性的、经常成为塑料污染的东西。”。“这只是一个典型的例子，大公司在一些不是主要问题的事情上做一些事情来吸引人们的注意力，以分散人们对他们推出的所有一次性塑料的注意力。”)”可知，Jan Dell认为大公司推出一次性塑料产品时，采取的方法是分散人们的注意力，而不是解决问题，所以Jan Dell对大公司的行为持批评的态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every week, Angela looked at her recycling bin, filled with shampoo bottles and plastic containers, with mixed feelings. Sure, it was a lot of plastic, but it was going to be recycled. Or so she thought. Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked.(每周，安吉拉都会看着她的回收箱，里面装满洗发水瓶和塑料容器，心情复杂。当然，这是很多塑料，但它将被回收。或者她是这么想的。然后，她的丈夫给她发了一些文章，透露这个国家只有不到6%的塑料被回收。她很震惊)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要以安吉拉的行为引入，介绍了人们使用家用清洁器，重复使用塑料容器，减少塑料的使用，降低塑料污染，推测文章可能会出现在生活杂志上。故选C。 D The first hotel to change into a migrant shelter was the Row NYC, once a four-star hotel in Times Square that advertised itself as ‌“more New York than New York”. The hotel was repurposed in late 2022, when Mr. Adams declared that the population in traditional homeless shelters had hit a ‌“breaking point” absorbing more than 16,000 asylum seekers. And the city had the responsibility to house homeless people, including new immigrants, under a longstanding mandate (授权) known as right to shelter. Desperate for more space, the city negotiated an initial $40 million deal with the Row, still in financial trouble, from the pandemic (疫情). The hotel received $190 a night per room to house migrant families with children in its 1,331 rooms. As the pace of the migrant arrivals began to exceed 2,000 each week last year, more than 100hotels were turned into shelters. The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical need for migrant beds even as they created a shortage of rooms for some travelers. Nearly two dozen hotels in Mid-town Manhattan were removed from the tourist pipeline, transforming them into unlikely refuges in plain sight. Some drew special attention for robberies in Times Square last year that the police attributed to a small group of migrants living in the hotel. It was Ingrid Henao’s second week in New York, but the parents were already diligently applying for work permits and jobs. Still, Ms. Henao could not shake a feeling of guilt that their stay in the hotel, tucked between the skyscrapers of Billionaire’s Row, was being funded by American taxpayers. They were getting free laundry service, their clothes sometimes returned, folded and placed in their room, as well as housekeeping. Uncomfortable, Ms. Henao would sometimes prevent servants from cleaning the room. ‌“We’re getting spoiled,” Ms. Henao said. ‌“This was never my idea. I didn’t leave my country under the conditions for which we escaped.” 12. What does the author show by ‌“more New York than New York”? A. The Row NYC was a cheap hotel. B. People tended to live in the Row NYC. C. Row NYC was a representative of city culture. D. It’s amazing that the Row NYC was highest hotel. 13. What caused the appearance of the hotels’ turning into shelters? A. The government wanted to make money. B. The tourism was booming and calling for better service. C. Good conditions should be provided for the homeless people. D. The pandemic hit the city and migrant families increased. 14. What long-term issue might hotel conversions cause? A. Rising crime in tourist zones. B. Permanent tourist room shortages. C. Chronic taxpayer resentment. D. Migrant dependency on aid. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the deed? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Negative, D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了纽约市将部分酒店改造成移民收容所。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中‌“The first hotel to change into a migrant shelter was the Row NYC, once a four-star hotel in Times Square that advertised itself as “more New York than New York”. (第一家被改造成移民收容所的酒店是Row NYC，它曾是时代广场的一家四星级酒店，广告自称“比纽约更纽约”)”可知，Row NYC酒店通过广告语‌“比纽约更纽约”来强调其作为纽约市文化代表的地位，暗示Row NYC酒店具有典型的纽约特色。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中‌“The hotel was repurposed in late 2022, when Mr. Adams declared that the population in traditional homeless shelters had hit a “breaking point” absorbing more than 16,000 asylum seekers. (该酒店在2022年底被重新利用，当时亚当斯先生宣布，传统无家可归者收容所的人口已达到“临界点”，收容了超过16,000名寻求庇护者)”和第三段中‌“Desperate for more space, the city negotiated an initial $40 million deal with the Row, still in financial trouble, from the pandemic. The hotel received $190 a night per room to house migrant families with children in its 1,331 rooms.(由于急需更多空间，市政府与仍因疫情陷入财务困境的Row酒店达成了最初的4000万美元协议。该酒店的1331间客房为带孩子的移民家庭提供住宿，每间客房每晚收取190美元)”可知，疫情导致酒店业陷入财务困境，同时寻求庇护者数量激增，促使政府将酒店改造成收容所。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中‌“The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical need for migrant beds even as they created a shortage of rooms for some travelers. (与市政府签订的总额达10.4亿美元的合同成为酒店从低迷旅游业中复苏的契机，尽管这导致部分游客面临房间短缺，但满足了移民床位的迫切需求)”可知，酒店改造虽解决了移民住宿问题，但可能导致旅游区域长期房间短缺。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中‌“The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical need for migrant beds even as they created a shortage of rooms for some travelers. (与市政府签订的总额达10.4亿美元的合同成为酒店从低迷旅游业中复苏的契机，尽管这导致部分游客面临房间短缺，但满足了移民床位的迫切需求)”和‌“Some drew special attention for robberies in Times Square last year that the police attributed to a small group of migrants living in the hotel. (一些酒店因去年时代广场的抢劫案而受到特别关注)”，以及最后一段中‌“Still, Ms. Henao could not shake a feeling of guilt that their stay in the hotel, tucked between the skyscrapers of Billionaire’s Row, was being funded by American taxpayers.(尽管如此，Henao女士还是无法摆脱一种内疚感，因为他们在这家位于亿万富翁街摩天大楼之间的酒店里的住宿是由美国纳税人资助的)”可知，作者既客观陈述了酒店改造的积极影响，也提及了负面问题，同时呈现了移民的矛盾心理。作者没有表现出明显倾向性，对于这一政策持客观立场。故选A项。 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 Vertical farming, a method of growing plants in layered arrangements, is becoming an increasingly popular solution to urban food production challenges. ___16___ By using vertical space, it allows more food to be grown in smaller areas, making it ideal for cities with limited land. The first step in establishing a vertical farm is to choose a suitable location. Indoor spaces like warehouses, abandoned buildings, or even repurposed shipping containers are often used. ___17___ In such spaces, factors like light, temperature, and humidity can be precisely monitored and adjusted. This ensures that plants receive the right amount of light, water, and nutrients, regardless of outdoor weather conditions. Once the location is secured, a water-based or air-based growing system is set up to deliver water and nutrients directly to the plants’ roots. These systems not only use significantly less water than traditional farming methods but also get rid of the need for soil and reduce the risk of pests. ___18___ Choosing the right crops is also crucial. Some plants, like leafy greens and herbs, have short growth cycles and require minimal space. ___19___ For instance, lettuce and basil are frequently grown in vertical farms, as they grow rapidly and are highly sought after in urban markets. ___20___ The initial setup costs for lighting, irrigation systems, and climate control can be high. However, the long-term benefits, such as reduced transportation costs and year-round production, often outweigh these expenses. A. These environments provide controlled conditions. B. It is an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture. C. Vertical farming has advantages but also faces challenges. D. This technology is still in its early stages of development. E. As a result, traditional farming methods are being replaced. F. These characteristics make them perfect for vertical farming. G. This makes vertical farming more efficient and eco-friendly. 【答案】16.

Every year, the gym turned into a magical space: third graders’ “talking” plants in pots, sixth graders’ robot fish feeders, and eighth graders’ erupting volcano models that always amazed everyone. This time, I couldn’t stop staring at the shiny medal, as if it belonged to me already. With two weeks left, I felt nervous. My notebook was still empty. “What if you build a rocket?” Mom suggested at breakfast, waving her spoon. The idea lit up my mind — a smooth silver rocket with bright blue flames shooting upward. Nothing could be cooler! We rushed to the store that afternoon. Cardboard turned into rocket parts, and glitter (小发光物) became my space magic. At the kitchen table, I worked like a scientist: pizza box wings, tin foil (锡纸) tips shining like ice. When Dad asked how it would fly, I shook my jar of glitter: “This is the special fuel!” On the morning of the fair, my glittering rocket stood by the door. In the gym, Mary’s plants grew in real dirt, and Tom’s robot arm picked up candies. I placed my rocket under the sunlight, rainbow colors dancing on its surface. As the judges walked closer, I stood tall, waiting for their amazed faces. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” My throat tightened. The glitter fuel jar felt suddenly heavy in my palm. “Well…the glitter creates driving force when it sparkles,” I stammered, watching the judge’s smile fade into polite confusion. Beside me, Tom demonstrated his robotic arm’s precise candy-sorting calculation using real coding terms. My cardboard wings bent under the gym’s colorful lights as I finally understood — while I’d been crafting decorations, others had been studying actual science. When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. Mary got third place for her plant experiment. Tom won second with his robot arm. The gold medal went to an eighth grader who made a water cleaner using real science. I clapped but felt my face turn hot. My rocket’s glitter looked childish now. Mom hugged me and said, “Real scientists fail many times before they succeed.” Dad pointed to the gold medal winner — she had made a volcano the year before but worked harder this time. Walking home, I held my rocket tightly. That night, I started drawing new plans for next year’s science fair. The medal still mattered, but I wanted to earn it properly — with real experiments, not just glitter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者参加学校科学展为线索，讲述了作者决心赢得金牌，在母亲建议下制作出外观华丽的火箭模型，然而在科学展上因缺乏科学原理支撑遭遇评审质疑，最终未能获奖，从而领悟到科学探究需注重实质的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一位评委轻声问道：‘你能解释一下你的火箭是如何工作的吗？’”可知，第一段可描写作者面对评委提问时的紧张与慌乱，结结巴巴地解释“闪光燃料”原理，同时对比其他同学展示的专业成果，意识到自己作品的不足。 ②由第二段首句内容“当奖项公布时，没有叫到我的名字。”可知，第二段可描写作者看着他人获奖时的失落，父母给予鼓励，作者在他们的引导下明白真正的科学需要努力与实践，从而决定来年认真准备。 2. 续写线索：评委提问——紧张解释——发现不足——未获奖项——父母鼓励——领悟道理——重新规划 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①结巴：stammered/stutter ②拥抱：hugged /give sb. a hug/embrace ③紧紧抓住：held/grab/seize/catch tightly 情绪类： ①紧张：My throat tightened/I was nervous/tense ②困惑：confusion/at a loss 【点睛】[高分句型 1] “Well…the glitter creates driving force when it sparkles,” I stammered, watching the judge’s smile fade into polite confusion.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型 2] The gold medal went to an eighth grader who made a water cleaner using real science.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年高二年级下5月阶段检测 （高二年级5月月考） 英语试题 （本卷共150分，时间120分钟。） 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 37. 5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Fight climate change while traveling Whether you’re commuting or vacationing, travel can cause a lot of pollution, for most vehicles are powered by burning gas. As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency.   ·Use Greener Transportation Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions. ·Focus on Efficiency If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.   Vehicle Selection and Efficiency Strategies Selection Key Feature Website for information Energy-efficient vehicle Higher miles per gallon Environmental Protection Agency Electric vehicle Less greenhouse gas emissions than average new gasoline-powered cars Department of Energy Energy-saving electric vehicle charger Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills.

Which website offers details about rewards for driving smart? A. EPA’s Energy Star. B. Department of Energy. C. Environmental Protection Agency. D. Department of Transportation. B Being busy with personal and professional responsibilities makes many women feel stressed. Hot Mess Express offers the support needed to create a sense of order and comfort at home. Jen Hamilton, a nurse and mother of two, created Hot Mess Express in 2021 after learning that a large number of women, particularly moms, were struggling to manage their homes due to life’s many pressures. Through posting an online video about her journey, Jen has been able to reach a wide audience, expanding Hot Mess Express into a nationwide organization. “I’m a mom that suffered a lot of anxiety after giving birth to my son. It was really hard, all the housework was piling up and I wished I had someone that just came in and said, ‘Don’t worry about those dishes; I will wash them for you,” said Brandy Hall, the Chaos Coordinator for Hot Mess Express. But what truly sets Hot Mess Express apart is its empathy. The team recognizes that everyone has moments when life becomes hard. They show up with empathy. They don’t just offer cleaning and organizing services. More importantly, they are willing to talk with the women who are stuck at home and feel down. They are able to help ease that feeling. Those who have received help from the organization describe feeling a renewed sense of hope and energy. Their services have offered a fresh start to families burdened by housework and disorganization. In fact, many clients (委托人) believe the organization gives them the mental and emotional support they need to deal with other parts of their lives. As Hot Mess Express continues to grow, Jen and her team hope to inspire others to join them in helping women get back on their feet. Their message is simple: no one should have to face life’s challenges alone, and everyone needs a helping hand in times of need. 4. How did Jen make Hot Mess Express a nationwide organization? A. By offering services for free. B. By attending a television show. C. By sharing her story on the Internet D. By partnering with professional workers. 5. What makes Hot Mess Express special? A.

The importance of team-building within the organization. 7. What is Jen’s next goal? A. To develop a line of cleaning products. B. To encourage more people to help women. C. To raise money for families in need of help. D. To expand Hot Mess Express internationally. C Every week, Angela looked at her recycling bin, filled with shampoo bottles and plastic containers, with mixed feelings. Sure, it was a lot of plastic, but it was going to be recycled. Or so she thought. Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked. Determined to cut back on her plastic consumption, Angela got a starter kit from a company selling refillable household cleaners (家用清洁器). In it were tablets, containing concentrated hand soap as well as glass and bathroom cleaners, and four empty containers. She filled each one with tap water, then dropped in a tablet and watched it dissolve. If she was happy with the cleaners, she would order more tablets but reuse the containers. No new plastic required. Given plastic’s harmful effects on the environment, nearly three quarters of Americans say they are trying to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic, according to Pew Research Center. Since plastic is everywhere and avoiding it altogether is extraordinarily difficult, some, like Angela, have revived a once-customary practice: refilling containers. Household cleaners seem particularly prepared for a refill revolution, for many can be easily concentrated and reconstituted (with water. If just 10% to 20% of plastic packaging are reused, a report from the World Economic Forum estimates, the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean will be cut in half. Not everyone is as enthusiastic, though. Jan Dell, a chemical engineer, noted that many cleaning products are packaged in PET or HDPE, two types of plastic with relatively high recycling rates. So she is less concerned about them but far more concerned about the packaging of other products. “What companies should be focusing on is everything else that isn’t recyclable, that is single use and that often becomes plastic pollution,” she said, pointing to plastic bags and cups. “This is just a classic example of big corporations doing something to attract people’s attention over here on something that’s not the main issue to distract from all the single-use plastic they’re pushing out.” 8. Why is Angela mentioned? A. To promote a tablet. B. To lead in the topic. C. To clarify a concept. D. To recommend a kit. 9. What does the underlined word “dissolve” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Float over water. B. Turn over in water. C. Change color in water. D. Mix with water. 10. What’s Jan Dell’s attitude towards the deeds of big corporations? A. Critical. B. Favourable. C. Conservative. D. Unconcerned. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A chemistry paper. B. An academic report. C. A lifestyle magazine. D. A cleaner advertisement. D The first hotel to change into a migrant shelter was the Row NYC, once a four-star hotel in Times Square that advertised itself as ‌“more New York than New York”. The hotel was repurposed in late 2022, when Mr. Adams declared that the population in traditional homeless shelters had hit a ‌“breaking point” absorbing more than 16,000 asylum seekers. And the city had the responsibility to house homeless people, including new immigrants, under a longstanding mandate (授权) known as right to shelter. Desperate for more space, the city negotiated an initial $40 million deal with the Row, still in financial trouble, from the pandemic (疫情). The hotel received $190 a night per room to house migrant families with children in its 1,331 rooms. As the pace of the migrant arrivals began to exceed 2,000 each week last year, more than 100hotels were turned into shelters. The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical need for migrant beds even as they created a shortage of rooms for some travelers. Nearly two dozen hotels in Mid-town Manhattan were removed from the tourist pipeline, transforming them into unlikely refuges in plain sight. Some drew special attention for robberies in Times Square last year that the police attributed to a small group of migrants living in the hotel. It was Ingrid Henao’s second week in New York, but the parents were already diligently applying for work permits and jobs. Still, Ms. Henao could not shake a feeling of guilt that their stay in the hotel, tucked between the skyscrapers of Billionaire’s Row, was being funded by American taxpayers. They were getting free laundry service, their clothes sometimes returned, folded and placed in their room, as well as housekeeping. Uncomfortable, Ms. Henao would sometimes prevent servants from cleaning the room. ‌“We’re getting spoiled,” Ms. Henao said. ‌“This was never my idea. I didn’t leave my country under the conditions for which we escaped.” 12. What does the author show by ‌“more New York than New York”? A. The Row NYC was a cheap hotel. B. People tended to live in the Row NYC. C. Row NYC was a representative of city culture. D. It’s amazing that the Row NYC was highest hotel. 13. What caused the appearance of the hotels’ turning into shelters? A. The government wanted to make money. B. The tourism was booming and calling for better service. C. Good conditions should be provided for the homeless people. D. The pandemic hit the city and migrant families increased. 14. What long-term issue might hotel conversions cause? A. Rising crime in tourist zones. B. Permanent tourist room shortages. C. Chronic taxpayer resentment. D. Migrant dependency on aid. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the deed? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Negative, D. Indifferent. 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 Vertical farming, a method of growing plants in layered arrangements, is becoming an increasingly popular solution to urban food production challenges. ___16___ By using vertical space, it allows more food to be grown in smaller areas, making it ideal for cities with limited land. The first step in establishing a vertical farm is to choose a suitable location. Indoor spaces like warehouses, abandoned buildings, or even repurposed shipping containers are often used. ___17___ In such spaces, factors like light, temperature, and humidity can be precisely monitored and adjusted. This ensures that plants receive the right amount of light, water, and nutrients, regardless of outdoor weather conditions. Once the location is secured, a water-based or air-based growing system is set up to deliver water and nutrients directly to the plants’ roots. These systems not only use significantly less water than traditional farming methods but also get rid of the need for soil and reduce the risk of pests. ___18___ Choosing the right crops is also crucial. Some plants, like leafy greens and herbs, have short growth cycles and require minimal space. ___19___ For instance, lettuce and basil are frequently grown in vertical farms, as they grow rapidly and are highly sought after in urban markets. ___20___ The initial setup costs for lighting, irrigation systems, and climate control can be high. However, the long-term benefits, such as reduced transportation costs and year-round production, often outweigh these expenses. A. These environments provide controlled conditions. B. It is an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture. C. Vertical farming has advantages but also faces challenges. D. This technology is still in its early stages of development. E. As a result, traditional farming methods are being replaced. F. These characteristics make them perfect for vertical farming. G. This makes vertical farming more efficient and eco-friendly. 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，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was in high school, our PE class focused on swimming.

Every year, the gym turned into a magical space: third graders’ “talking” plants in pots, sixth graders’ robot fish feeders, and eighth graders’ erupting volcano models that always amazed everyone. This time, I couldn’t stop staring at the shiny medal, as if it belonged to me already. With two weeks left, I felt nervous. My notebook was still empty. “What if you build a rocket?” Mom suggested at breakfast, waving her spoon. The idea lit up my mind — a smooth silver rocket with bright blue flames shooting upward. Nothing could be cooler! We rushed to the store that afternoon. Cardboard turned into rocket parts, and glitter (小发光物) became my space magic. At the kitchen table, I worked like a scientist: pizza box wings, tin foil (锡纸) tips shining like ice. When Dad asked how it would fly, I shook my jar of glitter: “This is the special fuel!” On the morning of the fair, my glittering rocket stood by the door. In the gym, Mary’s plants grew in real dirt, and Tom’s robot arm picked up candies. I placed my rocket under the sunlight, rainbow colors dancing on its surface. As the judges walked closer, I stood tall, waiting for their amazed faces. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
