【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国南极遗产信托基金发布的一则招募信息。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Are you undisturbed by the chill of the Antarctic winds? Can you adapt to near-constant daylight, subzero temperatures and no flushing toilet or running water? Ready to take on the challenges of living and working in one of the most remote corners of the Earth?(你是否不为南极风寒所扰?能否适应近乎持续的白昼、零下温度以及没有冲水马桶和自来水的生活?是否准备好迎接在地球上最偏远角落生活与工作的挑战?)”可知,这些都是艰难的工作条件。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As a member of our elite team, you’ll manage a museum, post office, and gift shop as well as conducting penguin counts.(作为我们精英团队的一员,你将负责管理博物馆、邮局和礼品店,同时进行企鹅数量统计)”可知,被选中的人需要进行企鹅数量统计。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Training will begin in August, ahead of the working period from late October or November until March, 2025.(培训将于8月开始,先于10月底或11月至2025年3月的工作期)”可知,工作期从10月末或11月开始,直到2025年3月,大约是5个月左右。故选A项。
4.B 5.C 6.B 7.C
【导语】文章主要讲述了Maya Thompson在10岁时因一次海滩度假目睹塑料污染而立志保护海洋,随后创立青年组织Ocean Guardians,发起海滩清理活动、推行"无塑料学校"项目,并成功推动家乡州通过全国最严一次性塑料禁令的事迹。
【详解】4.细节理解题。根据第一段“When Maya Thompson was 10 years old, she went on a family vacation to the beach and saw hundreds of plastic bottles and bags washed up on the shore. That day, she made a promise to herself that she would do something to protect the oceans.(Maya Thompson十岁时,和家人去海滩度假,看到数百个塑料瓶和塑料袋被冲上岸。那天,她对自己许下了一个承诺,那就是要采取行动来保护海洋)”可知,正是这次度假中亲眼所见的塑料污染促使她立志保护海洋。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段“The organization works with schools to eliminate single-use plastics from cafeterias and classrooms.(该组织与学校合作,清除食堂和教室里的一次性塑料制品)”可推知,该项目旨在帮助学校消除一次性塑料。
6.词句猜测题。根据划线词下文““I’m just one person,” she says. “The real heroes are the thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their schools. Together, we can make a difference.”(“我只是一个人而已,”她说道,“真正的英雄是那些每个周末都会前来清理海滩的数千名志愿者,还有那些正在改变自己所在学校的学生们。只要我们齐心协力,就能有所作为。”)”可推知,尽管成就卓著,Maya并未骄傲自满,而是将功劳归于他人。由此可知,划线词humble意为“谦虚的、不傲慢的”。
7.推理判断题。根据第五段“The real heroes are the thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their schools. Together, we can make a difference.(真正的英雄是那些每个周末都会前来清理海滩的数千名志愿者,还有那些正在改变自己所在学校的学生们。只要我们齐心协力,就能有所作为)”可推知,Maya认为集体行动是解决环境问题的关键。
8.B 9.D 10.C 11.D
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了家用洗衣机每年产生大量微塑料,现有过滤装置存在缺陷。科学家模仿鱼类鳃弓结构研发新型滤网,高效防堵塞且成本低,有望商用以减少微塑料带来的健康隐患。
【详解】8.细节理解题。根据第二段中““Existing filter (过滤) systems, however, have serious disadvantages,” explains Dr. Leandra Hamann of the University of Bonn. “Some quickly become blocked, others do not work efficiently.”(但“现有的过滤系统存在严重的缺陷”,波恩大学的勒安德拉·哈曼博士解释道。“有些过滤器很快就会堵塞,而另一些则无法有效工作。”)”以及第三段中“To find a better solution, Hamann turned to biology for ideas.( 为了找到更好的解决方案,哈曼转向生物学寻求灵感。)”可知,研究人员的目的是克服现有的缺陷。
9.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Their gill arch (鳃弓) system forms a structure that is widest at the mouth and narrows towards the gullet (食道). The structure is covered in tiny teeth, creating a natural filter network. “During food intake, the water flowing through it is filtered, and the microplastic-free water is then released back into the environment,” explains Hamann. “However, some organisms are too big for this. Thanks to the shape, they then roll towards the gullet, where they are collected until the fish swallows, which empties the system.”(它们的鳃弓系统形成了一种结构,即在口部最宽,向食道逐渐变窄。这种结构覆盖着许多微小的牙齿,形成了一个天然的过滤网络。哈曼解释说:“在摄取食物时,流经其中的水流会被过滤,然后不含微塑料的水会重新释放到环境中。”“然而,有些生物太大无法利用这种机制。由于这种形状,它们会滚向食道,在那里被收集,直到鱼吞食时,系统才会被清空。”)”可知,第三段主要讲的是鱼类是如何从水中捕获微塑料的。
10.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“To build a version for washing machines, the researchers recreated the gill arch system and tested various filter sizes and opening angles.( 为了为洗衣机打造这样的过滤器,研究人员重新构建了鳃弓系统,并测试了各种过滤器的尺寸和开口角度。)”以及划线单词句中“After comparing different structural dimensions(在比较了不同的结构尺寸后)”可知,前文提到研究人员“测试了各种过滤器尺寸和开口角度”“对比了不同的结构尺寸”,最终确定了一组最佳的“parameters”。这里的parameters指的是经过实验测试和对比得到的、关于过滤器结构的各项数值参数,即处理后的数据。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The researchers hope companies will refine the design for potential commercial application, which could at least partially reduce microplastic spread.( 研究人员希望相关公司能对这一设计进行改进,以实现潜在的商业应用,这至少能部分减少微塑料的扩散。)”可推知,该设计具备实际应用的可能性和前景。
12.A 13.B 14.D 15.C
【导语】本文介绍一项新研究,证实马能通过人类汗液嗅出恐惧情绪并产生同感,还说明了该研究的现实实用意义。
【详解】12.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the study, 30 people were asked to watch video clips of happy scenes while cotton pads under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a scary film.(在研究中,30人被要求观看欢乐视频片段,同时腋下棉片收集汗液,之后再观看恐怖影片收集汗液)”可知,研究人员通过让实验对象观看不同视频来收集人体汗液。
13.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more scared. Their hearts beat faster, they were more likely to be surprised, and they were less likely to be curious about the new object or approach humans.(佩戴带有恐惧汗液鼻罩的马匹表现得更加害怕,心跳加快,更容易受惊,不愿对新物品表现出好奇或靠近人)”可知,带有恐惧情绪的汗液会让马匹变得更加恐惧、胆小。
14.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers hope that understanding horses’ emotions better can help people interact more positively with the animals and improve horse health and happiness.(研究人员希望更好了解马匹情绪,助力人类和马匹良性互动,改善马匹身心健康状态)”可知,这项研究的意义在于促进人与马匹之间积极友好相处。
15.主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中“ A new study has found evidence that horses can smell fear in humans’ sweat and that it causes them to feel the same emotion.(一项新研究发现证据表明,马能够从人类的汗液中嗅出恐惧情绪,并且这种气味会让马也产生同样的情绪)”可知,本文介绍一项新研究,证实马能通过人类汗液嗅出恐惧情绪并产生同感,还说明了该研究的现实实用意义。C项“马能嗅出人类的恐惧”能概括文章主旨,适合作标题。
16.B 17.E 18.C 19.D 20.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍各类以人为本、帮扶他人的职业,阐述其意义与价值。
16.根据下文“However, they play a key role in helping people in need. (然而,它们在帮助有需要的人方面发挥着关键作用。)”可知,空处应与下文构成转折关系,提及这类职业的特点,B选项“Some jobs may not be well-known. (有些职业可能并不知名。)”既呼应上文choosing the right career,又与下文play a key role形成转折,符合语境。故选B项。

18.根据下文“Building trust takes time, but once it’s there, these workers can connect the homeless with food, housing, and medical services. (建立信任需要时间,但一旦建立起来,这些工作者能为无家可归者对接食物、住房和医疗服务。)”可知,本段围绕帮扶无家可归者的职业展开,C选项“Some people focus on helping the homeless. (有些人专注于帮助无家可归者。)”总起本段内容,符合语境。故选C项。
19.根据上文“For those leaving prison, returning to society can be hard. (对于刑满释放人员来说,回归社会很难。)”和下文“With their help, former prisoners get a second chance (在他们的帮助下,刑满释放人员获得第二次机会)”可知,空处应介绍帮扶这类群体的职业,D选项“That’s where correctional service workers come in. (这就是惩教服务工作者的职责所在。)”衔接上下文,符合语境。故选D项。
20.根据上文“These teachers work with students who face learning or physical difficulties (这些老师帮助有学习或身体障碍的学生)”可知,空处应说明特殊教育老师的工作目标,G选项“Their goal is to help each child grow and move forward. (他们的目标是帮助每个孩子成长和进步。)”承接上文,符合语境。故选G项。
21.A 22.B 23.D 24.A 25.C 26.D 27.C 28.B 29.D 30.A 31.B 32.D 33.A 34.C 35.C

47.参考范文:
I laughed genuinely and realized that I had never recorded such a video with my phone. It was always filled with work messages, task lists, and dull daily records with nothing truly alive, but these strangers had turned it into a carrier of warmth with that trembling, joyful recording. The rustling leaves, the grinning faces, and the sincere wish "Good luck in life!" lingered in my mind. I watched the video over and over, and every time their youthful, cheerful laughter reached my ears, a gentle power stirred, driving away the tiredness and annoyance that work had piled on me. The phone no longer felt heavy in my hand. It was lighter now, a quiet reminder of kindness, of unexpected comfort from strangers, and of hope that comes out of the blue.
Later, I decided to post my “Good luck” video online. I uploaded that shaky, unpolished clip along with a brief account of what had happened, leaving its raw sincerity untouched. To my surprise, the post soon went viral. Strangers, touched by the warmth, left quiet promises in the comments to pass on the kindness. Some even shared their own encounters with helpful strangers — returning lost phones, tucking thank-you notes onto park benches, holding a door longer for the person behind. I read those words late into the night, and somewhere in that quiet glow of shared goodness, the four words “Good luck in life” no longer sounded like a farewell. They had become a small, steady flame I could carry with me into any ordinary day.

When Maya Thompson was 10 years old,she went on a family vacation to the beach and saw hundreds of
plastic bottles and bags washed up on the shore.That day,she made a promise to herself that she would do something
to protect the oceans.
Now 22,Maya has kept that promise.She is the founder of Ocean Guardians,a youth-led organization that
organizes beach cleanups and educates people about plastic pollution.What started as a small group of friends
cleaning up their local beach has grown into a global movement with over 50,000 members in 40 countries.
One of Ocean Guardians'most successful projects is the "Plastic Free School"program.The organization
works with schools to eliminate single-use plastics from cafeterias and classrooms.So far,over 200 schools have
joined the program,reducing their plastic waste by an average of 70%.
Maya's biggest achievement,however,came last year when she led a campaign to ban single-use plastics in
her home state.She collected over 100,000 signatures and spoke at the state legislature.After months of debate,the
ban was passed,making it the strictest plastic ban in the country.
Despite her success,Maya remains humble."I'm just one person,"she says."The real heroes are the
thousands of volunteers who show up every weekend to clean up beaches and the students who are changing their
schools.Together,we can make a difference."
Maya's next goal is to expand the Plastic Free School program to 1,000 schools by 2027.She also plans to
write a book for children about ocean conservation."It's important to start educating kids young,"she explains.
"They are the future of our planet."

A household washing machine can generate up to 500 grams of microplastics each year,with much ending up
at wastewater treatment plants and ultimately spread onto fields.
Scientists have been seeking ways to remove microplastics before they enter the environment."Existing filter
(systems,however,have serious disadvantages,"explains Dr.Leandra Hamann of the University of Bonn.
"Some quickly become blocked,others do not work efficiently."
To find a better solution,Hamann turned to biology for ideas.The team focused on fish that feed by filtering
water-the result of evolution.Their gill arch (system forms a structure that is widest at the mouth and
narrows towards the gullet ()The structure is covered in tiny teeth,creating a natural filter network."During
food intake,the water flowing through it is filtered,and the microplastic-free water is then released back into the
environment,"explains Hamann."However,some organisms are too big for this.Thanks to the shape,they then roll
towards the gullet,where they are collected until the fish swallows,which empties the system."
This nature-inspired design prevents blockages and traps nearly all microplastics-exactly the two key
advantages needed for a washing machine microplastic filter.To build a version for washing machines,the
researchers recreated the gill arch system and tested various filter sizes and opening angles.After comparing different
structural dimensions,ultimately,the team identified a combination of parameters,which enabled the system to
separate more than 99%of the microplastics without blockage in lab experiments.With no complex moving parts,
the design is low-cost.Captured microplastics could be pressed inside the machine to squeeze out remaining water,
with the resulting tiny plastic balls removed and thrown in the ordinary garbage.
The researchers hope companies will refine the design for potential commercial application,which could at
least partially reduce microplastic spread.The need is pressing:studies suggest microplastics may pose severe health
risks,and they've already been found in breast milk-and even human brains.
8.What do the researchers aim to do?
A.To remove microplastics completely.B.To overcome the existing drawbacks.
C.To upgrade wastewater treatment plants.D.To improve washing machine efficiency.
9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.What problems plastics bring to fish.B.Where some organisms are collected.
C.Why the gill arch system has tiny teeth.D.How fish trap microplastics from water.
10.What does the underlined"parameters"in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Lab methods.B.Mechanical tools.C.Processed data
D.Replacement parts.
11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the design?
A.It can end microplastics spread.
B.It will pose potential health risks.
C.It will revolutionize home appliances.D.It may have application prospects

A new study has found evidence that horses can smell fear in humans'sweat and that it causes them to feel the
same emotion.People have believed for many years that horses can"smell fear,"and riders are often told to relax in
order to keep their horse calm.Past studies have found that horses pick up human emotions from our facial
expressions and voices.Recently,a team of researchers set out to see if horses can discover people's emotions from
smell alone.
In the study,30 people were asked to watch video clips of happy scenes while cotton pads()under their
arms collected their sweat.Then,with new pads under their arms,they watched a scary film.
The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups.The animals wore devices called muzzles (that
fit over their nose and mouth.One group was given a muzzle with a pad of happy sweat in it,one group received a
pad from the scared people,and the third group had a clean,untouched pad
The team tested the horses to see how they reacted to unexpected events,such as an umbrella being opened
near them or an unfamiliar object being placed in front of them.Horses that wore the "fear muzzle acted more
scared.Their hearts beat faster,they were more likely to be surprised,and they were less likely to be curious about
the new object or approach humans.
"The fearful smells from humans make the horses'reactions stronger,"lead study author Plotine Jardat told
CNN."The significance is that horses can smell how we feel,even if they can't hear or see us."
The researchers hope that understanding horses'emotions better can help people interact more positively with
the animals and improve horse health and happiness.Stressed or scared horses often react with behavior that can be
dangerous,such as kicking or running away,so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans
safer around these sensitive creatures.
12.How did researchers collect human sweat in the study?
A.By letting people watch videos.
B.By asking people to exercise hard.
C.By letting people stay relaxed.
D.By asking people to touch horses.
13.What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and 4?
A.Happy sweat calmed horses down.
B.Scary sweat made horses more fearful.
C.Untouched pads raised horses'curiosity.D.Clean pads surprised horses easily.
14.What is the significance of the study?
A.It helps humans control horses'emotions freely.B.It helps train horses to avoid dangerous behaviors
C.It helps horses get used to unfamiliar circumstances.D.It helps promote positive human-horse
interaction.
15.What is the best title of the text?
A.Horses are sensitive to sounds.
B.Horses are emotional creatures
C.Horses can smell a person's fear
D.Horses behave in different ways.

People-centered Careers that Make a Difference
For students who hope to make a difference in the world,choosing the right career is an important step
16However,they play a key role in helping people in need.
Working with young people is a meaningful choice.17 Youth workers create programs to help
them grow,learn,and stay out of trouble.Through these programs,young people gain skills and confidence for a
better future.Social workers are another choice.They support individuals facing difficult situations,such as poverty,
illness,or family problems.
18 They walk through city streets,visit shelters,and talk with people living outdoors.Building trust
takes time,but once it's there,these workers can connect the homeless with food,housing,and medical services.
Their work helps people take the first steps toward rebuilding their lives.
For those leaving prison,returning to society can be hard.They may face job loss,social pressure,or lack of
family support.19 With their help,former prisoners get a second chance at life through training,housing,
and emotional support.
Special education is another field that calls for both patience and care.These teachers work with students who
face learning or physical difficulties,offering support through adapted lessons and kind encouragement.20
These careers may not always be easy,but they offer something valuable:the chance to truly change lives.

I had owned the new phone just for nine days-a small luxury that had cost me half a month's salary,the
kind of purchase that makes you walk a little taller.That afternoon,I stuck it into my pocket,feeling it heavier than
usual.The past few days had been rough,and bit by bit,turned it from a recorder of life into a mere working tool.
Somewhere between a bridge and a riverside path,I realized it was gone.Panic hit immediately.I retraced my
steps,scanning the ground.Nothing.The late afternoon light held the city's dull light,and even the river seemed too
tired to sparkle.
答案第7页,共8页
I stopped a woman who looked friendly."Could I borrow your phone to call mine?"I asked.She handed it
over.I dialed.One ring.Two.Three-then a bright,breathless voice came through:
"Hello?Is this the owner?We have your phone!"Relief washed over me."We're still here,"the voice
continued,“by the willow tree(柳树).”
At the willow,I found four college students,their backpacks in a circle like guarding a small campfire.
"You're here!"one said,springing up.I thanked them hurriedly.They just waved,as if waiting an hour for a stranger
was the most casual thing in the world.Work was calling,so I had to leave almost immediately.Just before I walked
away,one grinned and said,"Good luck in life!"
Back home,I dove into work with my phone,until I noticed a new video sitting at the top of the photo gallery:
four grinning faces under the willow.I tapped playing it-They shouted,You lost your phone!But don't freak out
-we keep it safe!"Then one added,"Check out what a cool video this phone could shoot!""If you're seeing this,it
means you've made it back.Good luck in life!"
