However, this digital universe has a growing physical footprint. The chart below compares the average CO2 emissions (排放) per hour for different streaming qualities on a standard smartphone. Beyond the Stream: The Lifecycle of Data The journey of a single video stream begins in data centers, which consume vast amounts of electricity not only to power the servers but also to run 24/7 cooling systems that prevent overheating. From the data center, the information travels through transmission networks that carry data across continents and into our homes. Finally, the data is displayed on our end-user devices — smartphones, laptops, etc. Both producing these billions of devices and charging them represent another substantial share of the digital carbon footprint. Practical Solutions: The solution is not to abandon digital entertainment but to stream more intelligently and consciously. Your Guide To Sustainable Streaming Download: When you know you’ll watch something repeatedly (like a favorite film), download it via Wi-Fi once instead of streaming it multiple times. Adjust Video Quality: When watching on a smaller screen, the difference between HD and 4K is barely noticeable. Most platforms allow you to select the quality mode in their settings. Embrace Audio: For background entertainment, while you are working or cooking, choose music, podcasts or radio. Cancel the “Autoplay Next Episode” Feature: This prevents you from unconsciously watching content you didn’t choose and may not even be enjoying, saving energy and data. Evaluate the Environmental Policies of the Platforms You Use: If possible, support streaming services that are committed to powering their operations with 100% renewable energy. 21. How much carbon is given off by streaming a High Definition (HD) movie for two hours? A. About 30g. B. About 60g. C. About 90g. D. About 120g. 22. What can we say about the lifecycle of digital data? A. It’s energy-intensive. B. It’s highly efficient. C. It’s carbon-neutral. D. It’s fairly autonomous. 23. What is a benefit of cancelling the “Autoplay” feature? A. It supports renewable energy. B. It improves video qualities. C. It reduces power and data usage. D. It prevents device overheating. B An 11-year-old girl with a reading difficulty has designed a pair of colour-changing glasses to help people with the learning condition to be able to read more easily and comfortably. Initially, Millie, from Salford in Greater Manchester, first had the idea for the rainbow spectacles when she was eight years old. Specifically, the schoolgirl’s glasses feature interchangeable coloured lenses (镜片), allowing users to select the colour that best relieves visual stress and improves reading comfort. Millie’s mum Sarah said: “It’s been amazing because I’ve seen how it’s really affected her — really severe headaches, sickness, words constantly moving around.” Of her daughter’s invention, Sarah added: “I think it’s going to change people’s lives if I’m honest.” In fact, this condition mainly causes problems with reading, writing and spelling. It is estimated up to one in 10 people in the UK has some degree of this reading difficulty, according to the NHS. Consequently, Millie’s design won a gold medal at the Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal. Out of more than 70,000 entries, her concept was selected to be made into a working model by manufacturing firm Thales. Benjamin Butcher, a graduate mechanical engineer at Thales, said: “I think it’s a really innovative idea. It’s something a lot of people have not thought of before and it’s a real-world problem. It’s been able to address something that’s so common with people that people just tend to overlook a little bit.” Furthermore, Harry Topping, a manufacturing apprentice at Thales, said: “It’s been impressive to see the idea that Millie came up with. The communication has been really good as well and to come up with an idea like that... hopefully in the future it can be something that’s more popular.” Looking ahead, the next step is to try to find funding to get the product on the shelves. “I really hope companies do get involved because it can help some of your lives,” said Millie. 24. Why did Millie design the colour-changing glasses? A. To win a gold medal. B. To ease reading problems. C. To test coloured lenses. D. To cure her mom’s headache. 25. What do we know about Millie’s concept in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It was applied in local hospitals. B. It was previously overlooked. C. It helped improve communication. D. It promised to solve a common issue. 26. Which of the following can best describe Millie? A. Brave and inquiring. B. Patient and cautious. C. Creative and caring. D. Ambitious and energetic. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. An Engineer’s Journey to Success B. Rainbow Glasses Light Up Hope C. A Girl with a Reading Difficulty D. A New Cure for a Common Disease C I recently moved back to my hometown, York, a small city in England. It has a long history and a lively culture, but not many trees for shade. In recognition of urban trees’ benefits, the city plans to plant 4,000 trees, starting with the creation of two “micro woods” near the city center. However, planting thousands of trees doesn’t guarantee success. It’s important to choose carefully what to plant and where and-to care for what’s already there. One of the main benefits of urban trees is that they keep cities cool by providing shade and transpiration. This cooling effect will only become more important as the climate warms. In the meantime, however, climate change is threatening urban trees. Ecologist Stephan Pauleit and his team found a major increase in tree death rate during summer heatwaves. The loss of mature trees is a major problem. According to Pauleit, an 80-year-old tree cools the air and stores carbon ten times better than a 20-year-old one. There are other threats, including invasive species. Two species of longhorn beetles (天牛), for example, can eat a tree to death. A study found that a serious outbreak of either of these harmful insects could kill a quarter of the trees in some cities. These problems are worsened by the limited diversity of urban trees. In some cities, just five species account for three quarters of trees. Such trees are tried and tested choices, but as the climate warms, they may no longer be fit for purpose. Thus, cities need to plant with the future in mind. Researcher Henrik Sjoman has identified candidates like the chestnut-leaved oak and Lebanese wild apple that tolerate extreme conditions the best. I went to one of the micro woods in York. There are about 50 saplings (幼树) that will take decades to mature. I am rooting for them, but I fear the world where they are growing up won’t be kind to them. 28. What does the author think is vital for the tree planting plan? A. Preserving the existing trees. B. Creating more urban micro woods. C. Developing a lively local culture. D. Replacing the badly damaged roots. 29. What do we know about urban mature trees? A. They survive heatwaves better. B. They show a stronger cooling effect. C. They stop the climate from warming. D. They recover from insect attacks faster. 30. What has led urban forests to higher risks? A. Random choice of trees. B. Poor variety of trees. C. Inability to store carbon. D. Frequent outbreaks of new insects. 31. What can be inferred about the newly planted saplings in York? A. They may face challenges in the future. B. They may soon provide enough shade. C. They can prevent longhorn beetles. D. They can tolerate extreme conditions. D Imagine a world without museums, libraries, theatres, and galleries. It would be as if the vivid colors of life had suddenly faded into black and white. Clearly, the need to appreciate art seems hardwired into our species. Art does not happen at the edge of life; it sits at the center — a true engine. In essence, art is how we justify our existence. Looking back, we’ve been creating art for longer than recorded history. Our great evolutionary rivals, the Neanderthals (尼安德特人), were physically stronger but left behind few artifacts. Their imagination was limited, and Homo sapiens’ more complex way of thinking — our creativity — is what moved us to the forefront among the human species. On a personal level, art is most rewarding as an intellectual pursuit. Great art is complex, and it expects effort from us when we engage with it. It carries messages that survive for centuries, with its power remaining unattenuated. There is no substitute for the artwork’s materiality, which engages our senses, analytical skills, and intellectual curiosity. Beyond that, the appreciation of art is often a communal experience — it brings us together. We may argue, but we certainly do not wage war over artistic expression. Art and culture are the most important vehicles for us to understand one another, making us curious about the unfamiliar, and ultimately allowing us to embrace it. Lately, there has been much debate about the value of art compared to the hard sciences. While science has brought wonderful things, it has also played a role in our darkest achievements. By contrast, art explores the darkest corners of the human mind, helping us understand — and hopefully rise above — them. Ultimately, art lifts us up, making us better people. Admittedly, machines born of science have proven to be amazing, connecting, and informing us, but they are limited. They lack imagination, so we must imagine for them. In the future, our greatest challenge will not come from the Neanderthals, but from the machines we have invented. Meeting that challenge requires firing up the most important engines we possess — culture and creativity. After all, reason is born out of our cultural experiences, and works of art carry the wisdom of the world. 32. Why does the author mention the Neanderthals in paragraph 2? A. To prove their physical strength. B. To record early human history. C. To introduce the ancient tools. D. To highlight the creative power. 33. What does the underlined word “unattenuated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Misunderstood. B. Unnoticed. C. Unweakened. D. Mysterious. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The debate over hard sciences. B. The dark side of our sciences. C. The development of new machines. D. The unique value of human arts. 35. What does the author suggest we do to face the future challenge? A. Depend on the hard sciences. B. Learn from our ancient ancestors. C. Promote culture and creativity. D. Invent more intelligent machines. 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。 In Oak Ridge, Texas, lived a man named Samuel, who was known for his unwillingness to embrace change. His life as a clerk in the local bookstore was predictable and dull. However, the owner announced the bookstore would close for good. This unexpected news left him facing an uncertain future. 36 As it turned out, it was a remarkable journey. At first, Samuel’s heart sank, but a glimmer of hope soon emerged. He realized it was an opportunity to start anew. “Out with the old and in with the new” became his belief. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained,” he thought, gathering the courage to break new ground. 37 With a pen in hand and a blank page before him, Samuel poured his soul out onto the paper. He penned tales of adventure, love, and self-discovery, giving life to characters that danced across the page. 38 A local publishing house, charmed by his stories, offered him a chance to share his work. He took a leap of faith and said yes. The once-shy clerk transformed into a confident author. Before long, his books made it into the hands of readers near and far, touching hearts and igniting passions. 39 However, he always remembered that when one door closes, another opens. Each difficulty became an opportunity for growth. And so, in the little town, Samuel became a beacon of light. His journey reminded everyone that starting anew was not just giving in to the unknown. 40 By accepting change, Samuel proved that anyone can find the strength to rewrite their own story and achieve greatness. A. He decided to pursue his dream of writing. B. It also forced him to turn over a new leaf. C. His success did not come without challenges. D. This was a stepping stone to greater achievements. E. Everyone drew inspiration from Samuel’s story. F. Instead, it was an invitation to lead a meaningful life. G. Eventually, an unexpected opportunity presented itself. 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。 No one prepares you for the quiet heartbreak of losing your mother tongue.

We added rice and dates into the centre, wrapping them up with 57 (leaf) and strings. Soon, they were 58 (due) transformed them into zongzi. Originally, this traditional food 59 (make) only for the summer holiday. However, 60 (dress) heavily, we prepared the treats in the cold night air to welcome the Chinese New Year. It might seem strange for zongzi, widely known 61 a typical summer snack, 62 (appear) in winter. But somehow, it has gone beyond its traditional roots, becoming a beloved food at nearly every important gathering in my husband’s family. Do we owe this to Jiaxing, a city famous for zongzi? Visitors there can sink their teeth into these 63 (stick) delights anytime. Once, we even stopped to purchase 64 generous helping of hot red bean zongzi on the highway. Perhaps Jiaxing encouraged other parts of Zhejiang to serve them all year long. Whatever the reason, zongzi grace many a holiday table in my husband’s family.

Nobody knew where she came from, and nobody stepped forward to claim her. For most of his life, Dad had never cared much for pets, but the sight of that thin, sick creature seemed to open a door in his heart. That evening, he stepped into our house, holding a. box. “I’ve never seen anything so sad,” Dad whispered, his eyes filled with tears. Inside the box lay a tiny creature from a terrible place. No bigger than a small pot, the poor little dog was suffering from disease and hunger. Lifeless eyes stuck out sadly; her bony legs were so weak that she couldn’t even stand. She was a mess that everyone else would have turned away from. Mom looked into the box and immediately shook her head. “Oh, she’s too far gone,” she told Dad. “Let’s just have the animal doctor end her pain. Why keep such a dog?” Even the doctor offered little hope the next day. “I’m awfully sorry,” he sighed. “I doubt if she survives the weekend. It’s not worth the effort.” But Dad insisted. He returned home with some pills and medical cream. Every afternoon, he carried the little dog gently out under the big trees in the backyard. Mom watched through the kitchen window, sighing at the sight of the dirty, hairless dog. “Don’t get your hopes up,” she warned. “Everyone else has given up on her.” Nevertheless, every day, Dad faithfully treated the little dog — the little lost dog that nobody wanted. He put cream into the wounds that covered her entire body. For those first few days, there was little hope. Disease and hunger had taken her down a cruel path. It seemed only a miracle could save the life that the world had forgotten. Despite the slim odds, Dad refused to give up on the pup. Over the next seventeen years, Summer became a beloved family member. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
