第二部分 阅读理解(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,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。
A(改编)
Tree-planting projects are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, led by companies, nonprofits, governments, and communities. This raises the question of how investors or donors can choose which projects to support and assess their effectiveness. To address this, researchers of the Mongabay.app created a database to organize information on what reforestation projects publicly disclose. It is based on a comprehensive set of expert-identified criteria grouped into five categories — context, ecological, economic, social, and institutional — and assists users to identify suitable projects and ask informed questions.
●Why use the Mongabay. app
High standards: Our list of criteria was primarily drawn from the Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) approach, widely recognized as the gold standard across the restoration sector.
Transparency (透明度): Rather than make an assessment of the quality of the projects, the Mongabay. app reveals how much information is publicly disclosed by an organization.
A growing catalog (目录): The community is encouraged to share new projects and update information about existing projects to make this catalog the best available resource.
●How it works
To find a reforestation project that matches your interests, sort through the catalog using indicators from five key categories.
Once you have a list of potential projects, examine the circular diagram next to each one — this represents its transparency level: the more complete the circle, the more information is disclosed. Click on the diagram to dig into the detailed project chart, so you can make an informed decision on which project to support.
21. What is the main purpose of the researchers by creating a database?
A. To finance projects. B. To set up standards.
C. To launch initiatives. D. To help make choices.
22. What is the first step to find a suitable project?
A. Make an in-depth study of projects.
B. Outline a list of candidate projects.
C. Examine project charts in a diagram.
D. Assess a project’s transparency level.
23. Which project would interest an investor seeking clear information on forest type?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A
【解析】

Howard Wicks, 30 years old, whose stories are rapidly spreading and gaining much attention, faced a substantial change in his life following a serious stroke (中风) in 2011 as a teenager. This stroke left him with Locked-In Syndrome, a condition that leaves him almost entirely paralyzed (瘫痪的) except for his ability to think and perceive the world around him. Remarkably, Wicks has found a way to overcome these barriers through the use of an eyegaze computer. This cutting-edge device tracks his eye movements, enabling him to communicate with those around him and to pursue his passion for writing.
Over 18 months, using his eyes, he wrote 50, 000 words, composing a story that reflects his life experiences. The initial chapter of his book introduces readers to his life before the stroke, providing a thorough insight into who he was. The story then follows his changes from the hospital setting to reintegrating into community life. This book is designed to be the first of a trilogy (三部曲) that covers his life from the age of 16 up to now.
Wicks says the process of writing was nothing short of an intense and valuable experience of emotional release. “I enjoyed writing it, especially the parts I personally enjoyed living myself.” And he hopes his book will raise awareness of an organization he founded, the Locked-In Trust, which is committed to supporting individuals suffering from the condition.
As Wicks continues to work on the next volume, his journey serves as an inspiration to many. His ability to turn misfortune into a platform for creativity and communication is a proof of his strength and toughness. Through his writing, Wicks offers a powerful message of hope and resolution, highlighting the importance of finding ways to connect and share our stories, no matter the challenges we face.
“From the moment I gained the ability to type, writing a book has always been a goal of mine. Over time, more motivations for pursuing this dream emerged. I believed that finishing it was necessary for my happiness and personal progress,” Wicks explained.
24. What does the eyegaze computer do for Wicks?
A. Give a boost to his recovery. B. Allow him to interact effectively.
C. Fuel his inspiration for writing. D. Offer virtual support for his motion.
25. What is mainly described in Wicks’ book?

C(改编)
Bronze Age desert dwellers (居住者)unearthed from graves in what’s now northwest China were buried with cheese spread on their heads and necks — perhaps as a snack packed for the afterlife.
A decade after the dairy discovery, scientists have sequenced DNA from the 3,600-year-old cheese, the oldest in the archaeological record. The analysis revealed how the Xiaohe people made cheese, showing the way humans made use of microbes (微生物) to improve their food and how microbes can be used to track cultural influences through the ages. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Cell, open a “new frontier in ancient DNA studies,” said Christina Warinner from Harvard University, who wasn’t involved in the research.
A team led by Chinese paleogeneticist Qiaomei Fu identified goat and cattle DNA in samples of the cheese. The researchers were also able to sequence DNA of microbes contained in the cheese, confirming it was kefir, a type of cheese that’s still widely made and eaten today.
Fu’s team discovered that the three cheese samples from the graves contained Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, which is commonly found in present-day kefir cheese. Today, there are two major groups of Lactobacillus bacteria — one that originated in Russia and another from Tibet, China, according to the study. When Fu and her colleagues compared Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens from the ancient kefir cheese with the modern-day species, they found that it was closely related to a less common group of Lactobacillus that originated in Tibet.
“The bacterium’s origins challenge a long-held belief that kefir began only in Russia”, Fu said. “By examining dairy products, we’ve gained a clearer picture of ancient human life and their interactions with the world. This is just the beginning.”
It was remarkable that not only had the cheese survived but that it was possible to sequence DNA from the foodstuff, Fu said. “Ancient DNA analysis, especially on microbes, faces significant technical problems, largely due to the presence of modern bacteria in the samples,” he added.
28. What did the analysis of the ancient cheese reveal?
A. The burial customs of the Xiaohe people.
B. The effect of diet on health in ancient China.
C. The development of ancient cheese-making tools.
D. The use of microbes to improve food and to track culture.
29. What can we learn about kefir cheese from Fu’s study?
A. It is the most popular modern-day type. B. It is not commonly consumed in Russia.
C. It might have originated in Russia and Tibet. D. It must have evolved considerably over time.
30. What does Fu think of the study?
A. Insightful. B. Inaccurate. C. Puzzling. D. Comprehensive.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Origin of Cheese Calling for Further Research
B. DNA from Ancient Cheese Sequenced by Scientists
C. A Dairy Discovery Making for a Dietary Breakthrough
D. 3,600-year-old Cheese Found in Ancient Graves in China
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“A decade after the dairy discovery, scientists have sequenced DNA from the 3,600-year-old cheese, the oldest in the archaeological record.(在发现乳制品十年之后,科学家们对这具 3600 年前的奶酪样本进行了 DNA 测序,这是考古记录中年代最久远的奶酪样本)”结合文章主要说明了中国西北出土的3600年前古墓中的奶酪经DNA测序,揭示古人用微生物制奶酪,或挑战开菲尔奶酪起源于俄罗斯的观点。可知,B选项“科学家对古代奶酪中的 DNA 进行了测序”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D(改编)
Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard?
It turns out that the birds tense up their entire body to smash through wood, letting out short, explosive grunts with each strike, report Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his colleagues in the Journal of Experimental Biology. “Woodpeckers really are nature’s hammer in a sense,” Antonson says.
To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during exertion (用力) (like weight lifters tend to do) or exhaled (呼气) (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ taps down to every four milliseconds.
Instead of using a single muscle to control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward, clenched their tail and abs (腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back.
The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp exhalations “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and inhale on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.
“Pecking is a full-body exercise,” says University of Alabama biologist Nicole Ackermans, who studies brain damage in woodpeckers and head-butting sheep. Coordinating “micro breaths” with muscle clenching and creating “this hammerlike structure in their whole body is such a unique approach,” she adds.
32. What does the question in the first paragraph mean?
A. How do woodpeckers avoid injury while pecking?
B. Why do woodpeckers peck faster than other birds?
C. What makes woodpeckers stronger than other animals?
D. How much weight can woodpeckers carry while pecking?
33. Why did the researchers insert electrodes into the woodpeckers’ muscles?
A. To test their reaction to electrical signals. B. To record muscle activity during pecking.
C. To measure their heart rate while pecking. D. To examine the structure of their muscles.
34. What does the underlined word “clenched” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Tightened. B. Relaxed. C. Stretched. D. Lifted.
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Woodpeckers: Smart Tool Users
B. Woodpeckers: Nature’s Hammers
C. Woodpeckers: Amazing Strength
D. Woodpeckers: Powerful Muscle Controller
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了啄木鸟在以高强度啄击树木时如何避免受伤的问题。研究人员通过在啄木鸟肌肉中插入电极记录其肌肉活动,并结合对气流的检查以及高速视频,发现啄木鸟通过全身肌肉协同运动和精准配合呼吸来实现高效啄击,就如同自然界的锤子一般。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard?(啄木鸟的啄木行为处于一种极端状态,它们以超过自身重量30倍的力量钻透坚硬的木头,每秒啄木可达13次。在如此用力地撞击头部时,它们是如何做到毫无损伤的呢?)”可知,第一段的问题意思是啄木鸟在啄树时如何避免受伤,故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked.(为了研究啄木鸟如何啄木,研究人员首先人道地捕获了八只野生绒啄木鸟,并在实验室里小心地将电极插入它们的肌肉。这些电极连接到一个小巧合适的背包,这个背包记录啄木鸟啄树时收缩肌肉发出的电信号)”可知,研究人员将电极插入啄木鸟肌肉是为了记录它们啄树时的肌肉活动,故选B项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward, clenched their tail and abs (腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail.(这些鸟用它们有力的髋屈肌向前推动,____尾巴和腹肌为撞击做准备,在接触时使头后部和颈部变硬——就像你钉钉子时可能会使手腕后部变硬一样)”以及及类比钉钉子时手腕后部变硬,可推测“clenched”意思与“Tightened(收紧)”相近,故选A项。

Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____36____
Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____37____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.
Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____38____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would.
____39____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.
In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____40____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.
A. However, we do it less as we grow older.
B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated.
C. Here are some ways to put it into practice.
D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess.
E. It can be useful in many different situations in life.
F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable.
G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. B 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍自我对话是常见行为,它在生活多场景有用,能助人理清问题、调节情绪、保持动力,随年龄增长会减少,并非怪异举动。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife.(心理学家将其称为“自我对话”,这是一种类似于瑞士军刀般的心理工具)”可知,前文将自我对话比作瑞士军刀,说明它实用多功能。E选项“它在生活中许多不同情境下都很有用”承接上文,点明其广泛用途,引出下文具体作用。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据后文“For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.(对他们而言,把问题说出来有助于他们更清晰地思考,并能更好地理解各个部分之间的关系)”可知,后文出现“For them”,表明前文应提到一类人。G选项“有些人用自我对话梳理难题” 与后文“大声解决问题能让思路更清晰”对应,逻辑连贯。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk.(有些人在情绪或精神面临挑战时会通过自我对话的方式来让自己平静下来。例如,研究发现,当人们感到焦虑或压力过大时,他们更有可能进行自我对话)”可知,本段围绕焦虑、压力等负面情绪展开,讲自我对话可平复情绪。F选项“把情绪说出来能让情绪变得可控”符合语境,并与后文“像朋友给自己支持”衔接。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文““I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.(52 岁的卡罗尔·伯格曼说:“我确实深信积极的自我对话的力量,无论是健身时、对着镜子自省时,还是在参加重要会议之前——所有这些场合都是如此。”她会在锻炼前对自己说“加油,你能行!”或者“你看起来棒极了!”如果她时不时需要听到一些关于自己的赞美之词的话,她就会这样说)”可知,本段举例 “你可以的”“你很棒” 等积极话语,属于激励自己。B选项“自我对话也有助于保持动力”准确概括本段主旨,总领下文例子。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities.(事实上,在童年时期我们就已经学会了自我对话,而这种自我对话与在任务和具有挑战性的活动中表现更佳有着密切的关系)”以及后文“As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.(作为成年人,当我们精神或情绪处于低落状态时,可能会重新习惯于大声说话。在这样的时刻,自言自语就像是一个额外的工具,能帮助我们集中注意力、思考问题并解决问题。所以,自言自语并不像你想象的那样奇怪)”可知,前文讲童年时期常自我对话,后文说成年后遇到挑战又会重新使用。A选项“然而,随着年龄的增长,我们做这件事的频率会逐渐降低”承上启下,形成童年与成年的对比。故选A。

Dehua white porcelain is famous for ___56___ (it) pure white color.

At the exhibition, many visitors stood before ___61___ artwork named “Paper” and wondered how it could be made from porcelain. “First, a layer of kaolin ___62___ (apply) to sheets of paper. Then, the paper is heated in a kiln (窑) for several days until it turns into ashes. Finally, what’s left is kaolin. This is how the artwork was made,” its creator ___63___ (gentle) added that the process was extremely difficult.
This delicate art form, deeply ___64___ (root) in the rich soil of Chinese craftsmanship, carries forward centuries of cultural heritage. It also embodies the craftsmen’s constant ____65____ (pursue) of perfection, transforming ordinary clay into extraordinary masterpieces that shine like jade.
【答案】56. its
57. making 58. where
59. has sold
60. as 61. an
62. is applied
63. gently 64. rooted
65. pursuit
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了德化白瓷的工艺特点、历史渊源及其在国博展览中的代表作品“纸”的独特制作过程。
【56题详解】
考查代词。句意:德化白瓷以其纯白色闻名。提示词在句中修饰名词color,应用形容词性物主代词its(它的)作定语。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据艺术家陈超介绍,福建德化县的高岭土含铁量低,这使得瓷器像白玉一样无瑕。此处作结果状语,make(使得)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语(即前文所述事实)之间是主动关系,应用现在分词表主动和自然而然的结果。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:德化白瓷产自古代海上丝绸之路的起点城市泉州,自宋代(960-1279)以来一直畅销国内外。此处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Quanzhou city,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导该从句。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:德化白瓷产自古代海上丝绸之路的起点城市泉州,自宋代(960-1279)以来一直畅销国内外。sell(销售得……)是主句谓语动词,与主语Dehua white porcelain之间是主动关系;结合时间状语since the Song Dynasty可知,动作从过去持续到现在,应用现在完成时;主语是不可数名词,谓语用单数形式has sold。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:2006年,它被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。list...as...为固定搭配,意为“把……列为……”,此处为其被动形式was listed as。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在展览上,许多游客站在一件名为“纸”的艺术品前,好奇它怎么能用瓷器制成。artwork为可数名词单数,此处表示“一件艺术品”,泛指,且artwork发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an修饰。
【62题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:首先,将一层高岭土涂在纸上。apply(涂,敷)是谓语动词,与主语a layer of kaolin之间是被动关系;句子描述制作过程的步骤,应用一般现在时的被动语态;主语是单数,谓语用单数形式is applied。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:它的创作者委婉地补充说,这个过程极其艰难。提示词修饰动词added,应用副词形式gently(温和地,委婉地)作状语。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这种精致的艺术形式深深植根于中国工艺的沃土,传承着数百年的文化遗产。此处作后置定语,用形容词rooted,意为“源于……的;根深蒂固的”,常与介词in搭配。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:它也体现了工匠们对完美的不懈追求,将普通的泥土转化为如玉石般闪耀的非凡杰作。形容词constant后应接名词,用名词形式pursuit(追求)作宾语。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Its white paint glowed in the spring sun, a quiet call to Mario. He crept inside again, fingers brushing the old receiver. Lifting it to his ear, he choked out, “Dad? The peach trees are blooming. I miss hearing you greet the ocean.” His voice, rusty from disuse, trembled as tears blurred his eyes. For the first time since the wave, the silence in his chest felt lighter.
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The old man turned, a soft smile on his face. Mario walked over, throat tight but determined. “I... I talked to him,” he whispered. Mr. Harper nodded, patting his shoulder. “The wind carries our words to them. They hear us, Mario.” Mario looked at the ocean, where waves lapped gently. This time, he whispered back, “Good morning, Dad.” A small, shaky smile tugged at his lips.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述村庄遭遇海啸后,Mario失去父亲并失声,邻居Harper先生建起无连线电话亭,村民借此倾诉思念,Mario也渴望找回声音。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Harper先生的电话亭像灯塔一样高高坐落在山上。”可知,第一段可描写Mario被电话亭吸引,走进亭中拿起听筒,向父亲倾诉思念,压抑的情绪得到释放。
②由第二段首句内容“Mario走出来时,看到Harper先生在港口那边。”可知,第二段可描写Mario向Harper先生诉说自己的举动,得到对方的理解与安慰,最终Mario重新向大海问候,找回内心的平静。
2. 续写线索:被电话亭吸引——倾诉思念——情绪释放——遇见Harper先生——得到安慰——重拾问候
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①举起:lift/raise
②颤抖:tremble/quiver
③轻拍:pat/tap
情绪类
①坚定的:determined/resolute
②小声说:whisper/murmur
【点睛】[高分句型1] He crept inside again, fingers brushing the old receiver.(运用了独立主格结构作伴随状语)
[高分句型2] His voice, rusty from disuse, trembled as tears blurred his eyes.(运用了由as引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型3] Mario looked at the ocean, where waves lapped gently.(运用了由where引导的非限制性定语从句)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。
A(改编)
Tree-planting projects are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, led by companies, nonprofits, governments, and communities. This raises the question of how investors or donors can choose which projects to support and assess their effectiveness. To address this, researchers of the Mongabay.app created a database to organize information on what reforestation projects publicly disclose. It is based on a comprehensive set of expert-identified criteria grouped into five categories — context, ecological, economic, social, and institutional — and assists users to identify suitable projects and ask informed questions.
●Why use the Mongabay. app
High standards: Our list of criteria was primarily drawn from the Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) approach, widely recognized as the gold standard across the restoration sector.
Transparency (透明度): Rather than make an assessment of the quality of the projects, the Mongabay. app reveals how much information is publicly disclosed by an organization.
A growing catalog (目录): The community is encouraged to share new projects and update information about existing projects to make this catalog the best available resource.
●How it works
To find a reforestation project that matches your interests, sort through the catalog using indicators from five key categories.
Once you have a list of potential projects, examine the circular diagram next to each one — this represents its transparency level: the more complete the circle, the more information is disclosed. Click on the diagram to dig into the detailed project chart, so you can make an informed decision on which project to support.
21. What is the main purpose of the researchers by creating a database?
A. To finance projects. B. To set up standards.
C. To launch initiatives. D. To help make choices.
22. What is the first step to find a suitable project?
A. Make an in-depth study of projects.
B. Outline a list of candidate projects.
C. Examine project charts in a diagram.
D. Assess a project’s transparency level.
23. Which project would interest an investor seeking clear information on forest type?
A. B. C. D.

Howard Wicks, 30 years old, whose stories are rapidly spreading and gaining much attention, faced a substantial change in his life following a serious stroke (中风) in 2011 as a teenager. This stroke left him with Locked-In Syndrome, a condition that leaves him almost entirely paralyzed (瘫痪的) except for his ability to think and perceive the world around him. Remarkably, Wicks has found a way to overcome these barriers through the use of an eyegaze computer. This cutting-edge device tracks his eye movements, enabling him to communicate with those around him and to pursue his passion for writing.
Over 18 months, using his eyes, he wrote 50, 000 words, composing a story that reflects his life experiences. The initial chapter of his book introduces readers to his life before the stroke, providing a thorough insight into who he was. The story then follows his changes from the hospital setting to reintegrating into community life. This book is designed to be the first of a trilogy (三部曲) that covers his life from the age of 16 up to now.
Wicks says the process of writing was nothing short of an intense and valuable experience of emotional release. “I enjoyed writing it, especially the parts I personally enjoyed living myself.” And he hopes his book will raise awareness of an organization he founded, the Locked-In Trust, which is committed to supporting individuals suffering from the condition.
As Wicks continues to work on the next volume, his journey serves as an inspiration to many. His ability to turn misfortune into a platform for creativity and communication is a proof of his strength and toughness. Through his writing, Wicks offers a powerful message of hope and resolution, highlighting the importance of finding ways to connect and share our stories, no matter the challenges we face.
“From the moment I gained the ability to type, writing a book has always been a goal of mine. Over time, more motivations for pursuing this dream emerged. I believed that finishing it was necessary for my happiness and personal progress,” Wicks explained.
24. What does the eyegaze computer do for Wicks?
A. Give a boost to his recovery. B. Allow him to interact effectively.
C. Fuel his inspiration for writing. D. Offer virtual support for his motion.
25. What is mainly described in Wicks’ book?
A. His carefree childhood. B. His thorough insight into writing.
C. His expectations of the future. D. His struggles against challenges.
26. How does Wicks feel about writing?
A. It ensures him a basic living. B. It enables him to let out feelings.
C. It symbolizes a test of strength. D. It acts as a weapon against misfortune.
27. What can we learn from Wicks’ story?
A. All things are difficult before they are easy.
B. The course of true love never did run smooth.
C. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
D. The greater the difficulty, the greater the achievement.

Bronze Age desert dwellers (居住者)unearthed from graves in what’s now northwest China were buried with cheese spread on their heads and necks — perhaps as a snack packed for the afterlife.
A decade after the dairy discovery, scientists have sequenced DNA from the 3,600-year-old cheese, the oldest in the archaeological record. The analysis revealed how the Xiaohe people made cheese, showing the way humans made use of microbes (微生物) to improve their food and how microbes can be used to track cultural influences through the ages. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Cell, open a “new frontier in ancient DNA studies,” said Christina Warinner from Harvard University, who wasn’t involved in the research.
A team led by Chinese paleogeneticist Qiaomei Fu identified goat and cattle DNA in samples of the cheese. The researchers were also able to sequence DNA of microbes contained in the cheese, confirming it was kefir, a type of cheese that’s still widely made and eaten today.
Fu’s team discovered that the three cheese samples from the graves contained Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, which is commonly found in present-day kefir cheese. Today, there are two major groups of Lactobacillus bacteria — one that originated in Russia and another from Tibet, China, according to the study. When Fu and her colleagues compared Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens from the ancient kefir cheese with the modern-day species, they found that it was closely related to a less common group of Lactobacillus that originated in Tibet.
“The bacterium’s origins challenge a long-held belief that kefir began only in Russia”, Fu said. “By examining dairy products, we’ve gained a clearer picture of ancient human life and their interactions with the world. This is just the beginning.”
It was remarkable that not only had the cheese survived but that it was possible to sequence DNA from the foodstuff, Fu said. “Ancient DNA analysis, especially on microbes, faces significant technical problems, largely due to the presence of modern bacteria in the samples,” he added.
28. What did the analysis of the ancient cheese reveal?
A. The burial customs of the Xiaohe people.
B. The effect of diet on health in ancient China.
C. The development of ancient cheese-making tools.
D. The use of microbes to improve food and to track culture.
29. What can we learn about kefir cheese from Fu’s study?
A. It is the most popular modern-day type. B. It is not commonly consumed in Russia.
C. It might have originated in Russia and Tibet. D. It must have evolved considerably over time.
30. What does Fu think of the study?
A. Insightful. B. Inaccurate. C. Puzzling. D. Comprehensive.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Origin of Cheese Calling for Further Research
B. DNA from Ancient Cheese Sequenced by Scientists
C. A Dairy Discovery Making for a Dietary Breakthrough
D. 3,600-year-old Cheese Found in Ancient Graves in China

Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard?
It turns out that the birds tense up their entire body to smash through wood, letting out short, explosive grunts with each strike, report Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his colleagues in the Journal of Experimental Biology. “Woodpeckers really are nature’s hammer in a sense,” Antonson says.
To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during exertion (用力) (like weight lifters tend to do) or exhaled (呼气) (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ taps down to every four milliseconds.
Instead of using a single muscle to control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward, clenched their tail and abs (腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back.
The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp exhalations “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and inhale on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.
“Pecking is a full-body exercise,” says University of Alabama biologist Nicole Ackermans, who studies brain damage in woodpeckers and head-butting sheep. Coordinating “micro breaths” with muscle clenching and creating “this hammerlike structure in their whole body is such a unique approach,” she adds.
32. What does the question in the first paragraph mean?
A. How do woodpeckers avoid injury while pecking?
B. Why do woodpeckers peck faster than other birds?
C. What makes woodpeckers stronger than other animals?
D. How much weight can woodpeckers carry while pecking?
33. Why did the researchers insert electrodes into the woodpeckers’ muscles?
A. To test their reaction to electrical signals. B. To record muscle activity during pecking.
C. To measure their heart rate while pecking. D. To examine the structure of their muscles.
34. What does the underlined word “clenched” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Tightened. B. Relaxed. C. Stretched. D. Lifted.
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Woodpeckers: Smart Tool Users
B. Woodpeckers: Nature’s Hammers
C. Woodpeckers: Amazing Strength
D. Woodpeckers: Powerful Muscle Controller

Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____36____
Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____37____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.
Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____38____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would.
____39____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.
In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____40____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.
A. However, we do it less as we grow older.
B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated.
C. Here are some ways to put it into practice.
D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess.
E. It can be useful in many different situations in life.
F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable.
G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge.

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse.
