However, during a visit back home, she was deeply moved by the beauty of straw weaving and concerned about its fading future. Driven by a sense of duty, she made a courageous decision: to leave her office job and devote herself to this ancient art. True to the “Craftsman (工匠) Spirit”, straw weaving is not a task to be rushed. It begins with the careful selection of materials and continues through the creation of complex designs, where mental focus and physical control become essential. What makes Chen Zhen extraordinary is her clever mind. She realized that for the craft to survive, it must connect with modern life. Instead of making only traditional items, she designs fashionable pieces and modern home decor that attract younger generations. What’s more, she has helped set up local workshops, providing jobs for villagers and helping the local economy grow. Chen Zhen’s journey is more than a career change. It is a powerful reminder that our cultural heritage is a precious treasure. With passion, creativity, and responsibility, young people like her are the key to ensuring that these timeless traditions live on in the modern world. 24. What made Chen Zhen give up her office job? A. Her parents’ words. B. The stress of overtime work. C. The low payment. D. Her sense of responsibility. 25. What can we know about straw weaving? A. It no longer has cultural value. B. It requires carefulness and attention. C. Its low costs hold back the local economic growth. D. Its traditional styles are popular with younger generations. 26. Which word can best describe Chen Zhen? A. Creative. B. Impatient. C. Humorous. D. Curious. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A Village’s Economic Success B. The History of Straw Weaving C. Keeping Straw Weaving Alive D. The Difficulties of Creating Handicrafts 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是草编传承人陈珍出于责任感辞去办公室工作，投身草编艺术，她通过创新设计让草编与现代生活接轨，还建立手工作坊助力当地经济发展，目的是让草编技艺在现代世界中得以延续。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Driven by a sense of duty, she made a courageous decision: to leave her office job and devote herself to this ancient art.(出于一种责任感，她做出了一个勇敢的决定：辞去办公室的工作，全身心投入到这项古老技艺之中。)”可知，她的责任感促使她放弃了她的办公室工作。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“True to the “Craftsman (工匠) Spirit”, straw weaving is not a task to be rushed. It begins with the careful selection of materials and continues through the creation of complex designs, where mental focus and physical control become essential.(草编真正践行了“工匠精神”，它并非一项可以仓促完成的任务。草编从精心挑选材料开始，历经复杂图案的创作过程，在此期间，精神专注和身体控制都至关重要。)”可知，草编从精心挑选材料开始，在创作复杂图案时需要精神专注和身体控制，所以草编需要细心和专注。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She realized that for the craft to survive, it must connect with modern life. Instead of making only traditional items, she designs fashionable pieces and modern home decor that attract younger generations.(她意识到，要让这一手工艺得以延续，就必须与现代生活接轨。她不再只是制作传统物品，而是设计出时尚的物件和现代家居装饰品，吸引了年轻一代的关注。)”可知，她不再只制作传统物件，而是设计出时尚单品和现代家居装饰品来吸引年轻一代，这体现了她的创造力。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Chen Zhen’s journey is more than a career change. It is a powerful reminder that our cultural heritage is a precious treasure. With passion, creativity, and responsibility, young people like her are the key to ensuring that these timeless traditions live on in the modern world.(陈珍的历程不仅仅是一次职业转变。它有力地提醒着我们，文化遗产是珍贵的财富。凭借热情、创造力和责任感，像她这样的年轻人是确保这些永恒传统在现代世界中得以延续的关键所在。)”可知，文章主要讲述了草编传承人陈珍出于责任感辞去办公室工作，投身草编艺术，她通过创新设计让草编与现代生活接轨，还建立手工作坊助力当地经济发展，目的是让草编技艺在现代世界中得以延续，因此最好的题目是C选项“Keeping Straw Weaving Alive(让草编工艺得以延续)”。 C Carnival season is at its height this weekend. New Orleans’s annual series of parades began more than a week ago. Thousands attend the parades and they leave a mess of trash behind. Despite a busy daily cleanup operation that leaves the post-parade landscape remarkably clean, uncaught beads (珠子) hang from tree branches or get ground into the mud under the feet of passers-by. They also flow into storm drains, and finally these non-biodegradable plastics (不可降解塑料) flow into Lake Pontchartrain, polluting the water and threatening local wildlife. “The plastics disaster is becoming a defining characteristic of this event,” said Brett Davis, a New Orleans native who grew up catching beads at Mardi Gras parades. He now heads Bead Reborn NOLA — a nonprofit organization that works to reduce the waste. One way to use less new plastic beads is to use old ones again. Parade-goers can now donate their caught beads to the organization and it repackages and resells the products to raise money for the services it provides to adults and children with disabilities. The city has also placed collection stations along parade routes to encourage recycling. Aside from recycling, there’s a small but growing movement to find something to replace plastic beads, such as beads made from paper, recycled glass, or even seeds; headbands made from old T-shirts; and small packages of local food products. These options are gaining attention as ways to keep the fun while mitigating the harm caused by waste. However, changing a long-standing tradition is not easy. Plastic beads remain widely used because they are cheap and popular. Still, Brett Davis believes that with growing awareness, Carnival season can become greener. 28. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. The great joy Carnival season brings to visitors. B. The successful daily cleanup after each parade. C. The serious plastic waste problem caused by Carnival season. D. The long history of carnival-season celebrations in New Orleans. 29. How does the organization deal with the plastic beads? A. It stops the use of them. B. It recycles them. C. It cuts down their production. D. It sells them to the disabled. 30. What does the underlined word “mitigating” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Studying. B. Accepting. C. Adding. D. Reducing. 31. What is Davis’s attitude towards an eco-friendly Carnival season? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是新奥尔良狂欢节期间因大量使用不可降解塑料珠子而引发的环境问题，以及为解决这一问题所采取的措施和面临的挑战。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carnival season is at its height this weekend. New Orleans’s annual series of parades began more than a week ago. Thousands attend the parades and they leave a mess of trash behind. Despite a busy daily cleanup operation that leaves the post-parade landscape remarkably clean, uncaught beads (珠子) hang from tree branches or get ground into the mud under the feet of passers-by. They also flow into storm drains, and finally these non-biodegradable plastics (不可降解塑料) flow into Lake Pontchartrain, polluting the water and threatening local wildlife.(本周末狂欢节达到高潮。新奥尔良一年一度的系列游行活动一个多星期前就已拉开帷幕。成千上万的人前来参加游行，游行过后却留下一片狼藉的垃圾。尽管每天都有繁忙的清理工作，让游行后的街道干净得令人惊叹，但仍有未被清理到的珠子挂在树枝上，或是被过往行人的鞋底踩进泥里。它们还会流入雨水排水沟，最终这些不可降解的塑料流入庞恰特雷恩湖，污染湖水，威胁当地的野生动物。)”可知，第一段主要指出的是狂欢节季节所造成的严重的塑料废弃物问题。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One way to use less new plastic beads is to use old ones again. Parade-goers can now donate their caught beads to the organization and it repackages and resells the products to raise money for the services it provides to adults and children with disabilities. The city has also placed collection stations along parade routes to encourage recycling.(减少新塑料珠子使用的一个方法就是重复利用旧珠子。现在，参加游行的人可以将接到的珠子捐赠给该组织，该组织会重新包装并转售这些产品，为向残疾成年人和儿童提供的服务筹集资金。市政府还在游行路线沿途设置了收集站，鼓励人们回收利用。)”可知，该组织对这些塑料珠子进行回收处理。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Aside from recycling, there’s a small but growing movement to find something to replace plastic beads, such as beads made from paper, recycled glass, or even seeds; headbands made from old T-shirts; and small packages of local food products.(除了回收利用之外，还有规模虽小但在不断壮大的运动旨在寻找能够替代塑料珠子的物品，比如用纸制成的珠子、回收玻璃制成的珠子，甚至还有种子制成的珠子；用旧T恤制成的头带；以及当地食品产品的小包装。)”可知，划线词前面的句子提到了一些减少塑料珠子的方法，塑料珠子减少了就能减少垃圾所造成的伤害，mitigating的意思是“减少”，和Reducing意思相近。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, Brett Davis believes that with growing awareness, Carnival season can become greener.(不过，Brett Davis认为，随着人们环保意识的增强，狂欢节活动将会变得更加环保。)”可知，Davis对环保型狂欢节活动的态度是积极的。 D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels (太阳能板) installed has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide (杀虫剂) use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities-and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 32. What is the problem mentioned in paragraph 2? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 33. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Help local farms produce more food. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 34. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To protect pollinator insects. B. To ensure the supply of energy. C. To limit the development of solar energy. D. To develop different kinds of local economy. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development Path 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍传统太阳能农场建设存在土地破坏问题，介绍低影响光伏发展模式，讲述光伏场地打造传粉昆虫栖息地的新型发展方式。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常他们最终会在这片区域铺满碎石，还会使用化学药剂清除杂草，结果就是许多地区尤其是农业地带，都把太阳能农场看作土地的破坏者)”可知，第二段提出了铺设太阳能板带来的各类负面影响这一问题。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE项目正在研究适用于低影响太阳能开发的实用办法，该项目重点是以善待土地的形式建造和运营太阳能农场)”可知，这个项目的目标是让太阳能项目变得更加环保友善。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(已有二十八个以上的州通过了与传粉昆虫栖息地保护以及杀虫剂使用相关的法律)”可知，这些法律出台的目的就是保护传粉昆虫。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去几年里，许多太阳能农场开发者把太阳能板下方的空地改造成各类传粉昆虫的栖息场所，实现了改善土壤状况与减少碳排放的效果)”可知，文章围绕太阳能农场转变发展模式、探寻全新绿色发展途径展开叙述，所以“Solar Farms: A New Development Path(太阳能农场：一条全新发展之路)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 第二节 (共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个多余选项。 How to Practice Virtues in the Digital Age In the digital age, we spend more and more time online, and moral choices are everywhere in our daily life — whether it’s chatting online, doing homework or shopping on social media.

For example, if two pieces of advice ____61____ (give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from ____62____ old friend, people will prefer the latter one ____63____ (base) on the long-term trust rather than the former one, even though the new friend’s advice may be better. I, however, disagree with the old saying, ____64____ (believe) that new friends are not ____65____ (necessary) worse than old friends. It is not always right ____66____ (determine) your friendship by the length of time. Once you call someone a friend, he or she must be a person ____67____ is reliable and whose interests are in common with ____68____ (you). It is mainly his or her character and interests that make him or her your friend. It actually has little to do with time. People’s appearance may change, but their character usually ____69____ (remain) the same. Therefore, on this point, there are no _____70_____ (difference) between old friends and new friends. 【答案】61. are given 62. an 63. based 64. believing 65. necessarily 66. to determine 67. who##that 68. yours 69. remains 70. differences 【解析】 【导语】文章主要围绕老话“朋友如酒，越久越醇”展开论述，表达作者并不认同老友一定优于新朋友的观点，并阐明评判友情的核心依据。 【61题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：例如，若为解决同一个问题给出两条建议，一条来自新朋友，另一条来自老朋友，人们往往会凭借长久以来的信任偏向后者，而非前者，即便新朋友的建议或许更为妥当。此处为谓语动词，陈述普遍情况用一般现在时，主语two pieces of advice与give之间为被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数，所以谓语动词为are given。 【62题详解】 考查冠词。句意：例如，若为解决同一个问题给出两条建议，一条来自新朋友，另一条来自老朋友，人们往往会凭借长久以来的信任偏向后者，而非前者，即便新朋友的建议或许更为妥当。friend为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，结合句意，此处表示一位老朋友，为泛指，且old是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，若为解决同一个问题给出两条建议，一条来自新朋友，另一条来自老朋友，人们往往会凭借长久以来的信任偏向后者，而非前者，即便新朋友的建议或许更为妥当。此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合固定搭配be based on意为“依据”可知，去掉be动词，所以此处使用过去分词based。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而我并不认同这句老话，认为新朋友未必比不上老朋友。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语，believe与逻辑主语I之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词believing。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而我并不认同这句老话，认为新朋友未必比不上老朋友。此处用来修饰形容词比较级worse，需用副词作状语，necessary的副词形式为necessarily意为“必然地”。 【66题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：凭借相处时间长短来判定友情深浅并不总是正确的。此处固定句型it is right to do sth.意为“做某事是正确的”，其中it为形式主语，用动词不定式to determine作真正主语。 【67题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一旦你认定某人为朋友，那此人必定是可靠的，且与你志趣相投。此处引导定语从句，先行词为person指人，从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词who或that。 【68题详解】 考查代词。句意：一旦你认定某人为朋友，那此人必定是可靠的，且与你志趣相投。此处指代你的兴趣爱好，后面无名词，需要用名词性物主代词yours。 【69题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：人的外貌或许会改变，但品性通常始终如一。此处为谓语动词，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语character为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为remains。 【70题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：因此在这一点上，老朋友和新朋友之间并无差别。限定词no后接可数名词复数形式，difference“差别”的复数形式为differences。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分 15 分) 71. 假设你是李华，你校即将举办“中国传统节日”主题英文演讲比赛，请你写一篇演讲稿介绍中国传统节日——中秋节。内容包括: (1) 节日简介; (2) 风俗活动; (3) 节日意义。 注意: (1) 词数 80 左右; (2) 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The Mid-Autumn Festival Good morning, everyone!

In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice. You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. My new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique (技巧). I had failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself? I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken. I put the food on my plate, and I spent the next hour attempting to learn how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks. I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed, worrying about the coming lunch. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the waiter in Mandarin. My heart was beating wildly, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how thoughtful he was. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Immediately, I made up my mind to take this opportunity to learn how to use chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Immediately, I made up my mind to take this opportunity to learn how to use chopsticks. I asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. When they arrived, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked up at my boss and we smiled at each other. As I grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, trying to get them into my mouth, my fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate. However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal by using chopsticks. It felt like a great achievement to me. In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I’m glad that my new boss was so thoughtful a person that he could take everything into consideration. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和老板去吃饭，老板知道作者不会使用筷子，于是安排了刀叉。作者也抓住机会学习使用筷子。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“我马上下定决心要抓住这个机会学习如何使用筷子”可知，后文可描写作者学习使用筷子的经过以及感受。 2.续写线索：决定学习使用筷子——使用筷子的经过——用筷子吃完饭——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住机会：take this opportunity /seize the chance ②尝试：try/attempt ③决定：make up one’s mind/determine 情绪类 ①高兴的：glad /delighted ②尴尬：embarrassed /awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1] When they arrived, I took them carefully in my hand.

This walkable city packs unforgettable experiences into a single day, from literary walks to fine dining and historic pubs. 8 a.m.: Explore the old town Start your own literary walk in the Grassmarket. Climb the Miss Jean Brodie Steps to view Edinburgh Castle surrounded by narrow lanes, and then walk into Greyfriars Kirkyard, a 17th-century cemetery. Sharp-eyed Harry Potter fans will notice familiar names on the tombstones, including ones that inspired the author’s You-Know-Who. 11 a.m.: Step into the past Across from the cemetery is the National Museum of Scotland. Its galleries cover different times and places around the world, with a focus on Scottish history and culture. Don’t miss Alexander Graham Bell’s original telephone and a TARDIS prop and screenplay signed by actor Ewan McGregor. For a different experience, visit Surgeons’ Hall, which shows Edinburgh’s medical history. 2 p.m.: Head for the river After morning culture, take a short cable car from Princes Street to Leith. This area has many top-quality restaurants, including Tom Kitchin’s The Kitchin. Its lunch menu features fresh Scottish food for the season, such as the lobster from just three bus stops down the coast, which tastes all the better for it. Little wonder he himself often eats here. 7 p.m.: Drink up No Edinburgh day is complete without a pub stop, and the New Town has great choices. Sherlock Holmes fans should look for The Conan Doyle, a historic pub near the author’s birthplace. Step inside and enjoy a cool local beer or whisky to relax after a busy day of exploring. 21. What can visitors do at Greyfriars Kirkyard? A. See Edinburgh Castle up close. B. Climb the Miss Jean Brodie Steps. C. Find names that appear in Harry Potter. D.

B Like many young people, Chen Zhen, a young inheritor of straw weaving (草编), once worked in a city, far from her hometown’s traditions. However, during a visit back home, she was deeply moved by the beauty of straw weaving and concerned about its fading future. Driven by a sense of duty, she made a courageous decision: to leave her office job and devote herself to this ancient art. True to the “Craftsman (工匠) Spirit”, straw weaving is not a task to be rushed. It begins with the careful selection of materials and continues through the creation of complex designs, where mental focus and physical control become essential. What makes Chen Zhen extraordinary is her clever mind. She realized that for the craft to survive, it must connect with modern life. Instead of making only traditional items, she designs fashionable pieces and modern home decor that attract younger generations. What’s more, she has helped set up local workshops, providing jobs for villagers and helping the local economy grow. Chen Zhen’s journey is more than a career change. It is a powerful reminder that our cultural heritage is a precious treasure. With passion, creativity, and responsibility, young people like her are the key to ensuring that these timeless traditions live on in the modern world. 24. What made Chen Zhen give up her office job? A. Her parents’ words. B. The stress of overtime work. C. The low payment. D. Her sense of responsibility. 25. What can we know about straw weaving? A. It no longer has cultural value. B. It requires carefulness and attention. C. Its low costs hold back the local economic growth. D. Its traditional styles are popular with younger generations. 26. Which word can best describe Chen Zhen? A. Creative. B. Impatient. C. Humorous. D. Curious. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A Village’s Economic Success B. The History of Straw Weaving C. Keeping Straw Weaving Alive D. The Difficulties of Creating Handicrafts C Carnival season is at its height this weekend. New Orleans’s annual series of parades began more than a week ago. Thousands attend the parades and they leave a mess of trash behind. Despite a busy daily cleanup operation that leaves the post-parade landscape remarkably clean, uncaught beads (珠子) hang from tree branches or get ground into the mud under the feet of passers-by. They also flow into storm drains, and finally these non-biodegradable plastics (不可降解塑料) flow into Lake Pontchartrain, polluting the water and threatening local wildlife. “The plastics disaster is becoming a defining characteristic of this event,” said Brett Davis, a New Orleans native who grew up catching beads at Mardi Gras parades. He now heads Bead Reborn NOLA — a nonprofit organization that works to reduce the waste. One way to use less new plastic beads is to use old ones again. Parade-goers can now donate their caught beads to the organization and it repackages and resells the products to raise money for the services it provides to adults and children with disabilities. The city has also placed collection stations along parade routes to encourage recycling. Aside from recycling, there’s a small but growing movement to find something to replace plastic beads, such as beads made from paper, recycled glass, or even seeds; headbands made from old T-shirts; and small packages of local food products. These options are gaining attention as ways to keep the fun while mitigating the harm caused by waste. However, changing a long-standing tradition is not easy. Plastic beads remain widely used because they are cheap and popular. Still, Brett Davis believes that with growing awareness, Carnival season can become greener. 28. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. The great joy Carnival season brings to visitors. B. The successful daily cleanup after each parade. C. The serious plastic waste problem caused by Carnival season. D. The long history of carnival-season celebrations in New Orleans. 29. How does the organization deal with the plastic beads? A. It stops the use of them. B. It recycles them. C. It cuts down their production. D. It sells them to the disabled. 30. What does the underlined word “mitigating” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Studying. B. Accepting. C. Adding. D. Reducing. 31. What is Davis’s attitude towards an eco-friendly Carnival season? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels (太阳能板) installed has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide (杀虫剂) use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities-and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 32. What is the problem mentioned in paragraph 2? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 33. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Help local farms produce more food. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 34. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To protect pollinator insects. B. To ensure the supply of energy. C. To limit the development of solar energy. D. To develop different kinds of local economy. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development Path 第二节 (共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个多余选项。 How to Practice Virtues in the Digital Age In the digital age, we spend more and more time online, and moral choices are everywhere in our daily life — whether it’s chatting online, doing homework or shopping on social media.

North Americans and Europeans use forks, knives and spoons. In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice. You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. My new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique (技巧). I had failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself? I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken. I put the food on my plate, and I spent the next hour attempting to learn how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks. I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed, worrying about the coming lunch. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the waiter in Mandarin. My heart was beating wildly, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how thoughtful he was. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Immediately, I made up my mind to take this opportunity to learn how to use chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
