That is not always an easy question to answer. There are many different ways. Today let’s look at how two things got their names. Many people associate kiwifruit with New Zealand, but this fruit is actually native to China. China is the top producer of kiwifruit. A teacher from New Zealand took it from China in 1904. Then in 1959, a New Zealand company wanted to ship the fruit abroad. They named it kiwi after their national bird. By the 1970s, everyone was calling the fruit by that name. Next, let’s talk about zippers. What would we do without zippers? This clever little invention is used to fasten many different things. Zippers were developed by several people over many years starting in 1851. During that time, the device had a number of names. Finally in 1923, an American company named a “zipper” and Trademarked it. The word zipper comes from the sound it makes when it opens or closes. However, the company lost its trademark in 1930 when zipper became popular as a general term. Nowadays ninety percent of zippers are produced by a Japanese company called YKK. 听下面一段独白,回答以下小题。 18．Where is the ship? A．Stuck in thick sea ice. B．About 3,000 meters beneath the ice.

It’s the first time anyone has seen it in more than 100 years. Endurance, perfectly preserved, is about 3,000 meters beneath the ice. “I knew that this was probably either the first or second most strongly-built ice ship ever, and I was just amazed at its construction. It held together beautifully,” said a British explorer. The condition is astonishing. The exploring team spent weeks searching the deep until Endurance was at last found. The team found that Endurance was in trouble from the start — becoming stuck in thick sea ice just weeks after setting off from South Georgia. It floated for months before an order was eventually given to the crew to abandon the ship. The ship won’t be raised and nothing will be removed. When the team left, it was just as it was found, resting in the darkness of this most remote corner of the world. II.

For as long as historical buildings have been   31 , the Lighthouse of Alexandria is considered to have been one of the top three tallest structures in the world. It is preceded by the two pyramids identified as “Khufu” and “Khafra”. During the years of 956, 1303, and 1323, the immense structure received damage as a result of earthquakes that occurred in the area. The citizens of the time used a mixture of fire and 32 mirror like material in order to provide the lighting needed by ships to discover the port. Claims indicate that the light was so immense that ships as far out to sea as 35 miles could see the   33 light coming from the mysterious lighthouse. There are also legends that the fire emitted from the port was so protective that ships that contained enemies would be 34 at sea so that they would not reach the shores where the lighthouse stood. In the year of 1183, a traveler by the name of Ibn Jubayr observed the Lighthouse of Alexandria and made the following observation: “Description of it falls short, the eyes fail to 35 it, and words are inadequate, so vast is the spectacle...” In the year of 1994, scuba divers that specialize in archaeology searched the water near where the magnificent structure stood. They were able to 36 discover many different pieces of block and other construction materials. It is a mystery as to why the structure finally collapsed into the Mediterranean Sea. It has been 37 that the fall likely occurred in the year of 1326. There are many theories about the final collapse, but many agree that the earthquakes of the area probably resulted in the 38 . There are many other theories that indicate the structure may have been 39 destroyed due to rumors that there were great treasures buried underneath the structure. It is believed that a man identified as the “Caliph at Cairo” was told of a rumor from a neighboring port that extremely valuable treasures were under the building in order to eliminate the port as a   40 system into the area. While this is just a legend, could it have been what led to the fall of the Lighthouse of Alexandria? This remains to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the world. 【答案】 31．C 32．K 33．B 34．E 35．J 36．A 37．D 38．F 39．I 40．G 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界古代七大奇迹之一的亚历山大灯塔的历史、功能、毁坏原因及相关传说。 【详解】31．考查动词。句意：自有历史建筑被建造以来，亚历山大灯塔就被认为是世界上最高的三大建筑之一。根据后文“the Lighthouse of Alexandria is considered to have been one of the top three tallest structures in the world.”可知，自有历史建筑被建造以来。空处在“have been”之后，构成现在完成时的被动语态，应用过去分词。established的过去分词为established，含义为“建立；建造”。 32．考查形容词。句意：当时的市民使用火和一种类似镜子的反光材料的混合物，以便为船只提供发现港口所需的照明。根据后文“mirror like materia”可知，利用一种类似镜子的反光材料。空处修饰名词“mirror like material”，应用形容词作定语。reflective为形容词，含义为“反光的；反射的”，与“mirror like”（像镜子一样的）语义呼应。 33．考查形容词。句意：有说法称，灯光如此强烈，以至于远至35英里外海上的船只都能看到这座神秘灯塔发出的清晰光线。根据前文“the light was so immense”可知，能看到这座神秘灯塔发出的清晰光线。空处修饰名词“light”，应用形容词作定语。distinct为形容词，含义为“清晰的；明显的”，用于描述远处可见的明亮光线。 34．考查动词。句意：还有传说称，港口发出的火如此具有保护性，以至于载有敌人的船只会在海上被烧毁，以免它们到达灯塔所在的岸边。 根据前文“the fire emitted from the port was so protective”可知，载有敌人的船只会在海上被烧毁。空处与would be构成被动语态，应用过去分词，consume的过去分词为consumed，含义为“烧毁、消耗”。 35．考查动词。句意：描述它显得苍白，眼睛无法理解它，言语亦显不足，景象如此宏伟……，根据后文“words are inadequate”可知，眼睛无法理解它。空处在不定式符号“to”之后，应用动词原形。comprehend为动词原形，含义为“理解、领会”，与”falls short”（显得不足）和“inadequate”（不充分）构成并列语义。 36．考查副词。句意：他们成功地发现了许多不同的石块和其他建筑材料。根据后文“discover many different pieces of block and other construction materials.”可知，发现了许多不同的石块和其他建筑材料。空处修饰动词“discover”，应用副词。successfully为副词，含义为“成功地”，说明考古潜水员的探索取得了成果。 37．考查动词。句意：据估计，倒塌很可能发生在1326年。根据后文“the fall likely”可知，这是在估计。空处在“has been”之后，构成现在完成时的被动语态，应用过去分词。evaluated的过去分词为evaluated，含义为“评估、估计”，常用于It has been evaluated that...（据估计……）的固定句型。 38．考查名词。句意：关于其最终的衰落有诸多说法，但许多人认为，该地区频发的地震很可能引发了一系列复杂问题。空处在定冠词“the”之后，应用名词。complications为名词复数，含义为“并发症、复杂情况、引发的问题”，此处指地震造成的复杂后果最终导致灯塔倒塌。 39．考查副词。句意：还有许多其他理论表明，该建筑可能是被故意摧毁的，因为有传言称建筑下埋藏着巨大的宝藏。 根据后文“there were great treasures buried underneath the structure.”可知，建筑可能是被故意摧毁的。空处修饰动词destroyed，应用副词，purposely为副词，含义为“故意地、蓄意地”。 40．考查名词。人们认为，一位被称作 “开罗哈里发” 的男子听闻了来自邻近港口的一则传闻：该建筑下方藏有价值连城的宝藏，而散播此传闻的目的，是为了废除该港口作为进入这一地区的导航系统。 根据全篇可知，灯塔是港口导航系统的重要组成部分。空处位于不定冠词a之后，应用名词，navigation为名词，含义为“导航、航行”。 III.

Trees are indeed vital “carbon sinks,” absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, scientists are increasingly pointing to a less visible but far more efficient ally beneath the waves: Blue Carbon. Blue carbon refers to the carbon captured and stored by coastal and marine ecosystems, specifically mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrass meadows. While these “blue forests” cover less than 2% of the seafloor, they are responsible for absorbing nearly half of the total carbon buried in the ocean each year. Compared to terrestrial forests, which store carbon in wood and soil for decades or centuries, coastal blue carbon ecosystems can lock carbon away in deep sediments for thousands of years. This makes them a critical weapon in the fight against global warming. Beyond carbon storage, these ecosystems provide essential services. Mangrove forests act as natural barriers, protecting coastal communities from storm surges and erosion. Seagrass meadows improve water quality by trapping sediments and releasing oxygen. Yet, despite their importance, these habitats are disappearing at an alarming rate — up to three times faster than tropical rainforests. The primary drivers are coastal development, pollution, and destructive fishing practices. When these ecosystems are damaged, the massive amounts of carbon stored in their soils are released back into the atmosphere, turning a climate solution into a source of emissions. Recognizing this, a new movement called “Blue Carbon Finance” is emerging. Countries like Indonesia and Australia are creating markets where companies can invest in restoring mangroves to offset their emissions. For instance, a project in Kenya’s Mikoko Pamoja has successfully sold carbon credits to fund local schools and clinics. This model demonstrates that environmental protection and economic development can go hand in hand. Nevertheless, challenges remain. Measuring the exact amount of carbon stored in underwater sediments is technically difficult, and ensuring that local communities benefit fairly from these projects requires careful governance. The race to save our blue planet is not just about planting trees; it is about saving the roots beneath the sea. 59．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1 and 2? A．To introduce a new concept and explain its mechanism. B．To compare the sizes of different forest ecosystems. C．To criticize the inefficiency of traditional carbon sinks. D．To describe the beauty of coastal landscapes. 60．According to the passage, what is a unique advantage of Blue Carbon ecosystems? A．They cover more than half of the Earth’s surface. B．They can store carbon for thousands of years underground. C．They grow faster than any terrestrial plants. D．They are easier to restore than tropical rainforests. 61．What does the author suggest about “Blue Carbon Finance”? A．It focuses solely on punishing polluting companies. B．It has completely solved the problem of coastal erosion. C．It links environmental restoration with community benefits. D．It discourages investment in renewable energy. 62．Which of the following is the best title for the text?

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Greenland is Important for Global Research Geopolitics made Greenland the unexpected focus of the world’s attention. But the territory has long been a unique region for science. The history of research in Greenland includes science stemming from Inuit traditional knowledge, European polar explorations and US military expeditions. 67 By the 1990s, the island had become a global centre for climate-change research, after European- and US-led teams drilled ice cores deep into Greenland’s ice sheet to reveal past changes in climate. Today, climate scientists from around the world measure, analyse and predict changes in Greenland’s ice sheet. 68 Last year, it lost an estimated 129 billion tonnes of ice, and it is responsible for around 20% of current sea-level rise, or about 0.8 millimetres a year. But “Greenland is about more than just ice and climate indicators”, says a 2022 document from Greenland's government that laid out its first-ever research strategy. 69 And Greenland is a unique place for genetic and biomedical research, given that its mostly Inuit population has been living around the edges of an icy island for millennia; that physical isolation led to genomic and other changes unlike anywhere else in the world. The 2022 plan, which lays out the island’s research priorities up to 2030, emphasized that research needs to be anchored in Greenland and to respond to social needs. 70 A．If Greenland’s ice sheet melted completely, it would cause the global sea level to rise by 7.4 metres. B．Greenland became a global hub for climate-change research mainly because of its unique Inuit culture. C．Greenland’s 2022 research strategy is the first one released by its government. D．The island is a key site for geological research due to its special geology and rich critical raw materials. E．The 2022 research plan requires findings to be accessible to all and supports international cooperation. F．Greenland’s Inuit population has genetic similarities to people living in other Arctic regions. 【答案】67．A 68．C 69．D 70．E 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了格陵兰不仅地缘关注度高，更是极具价值的科研之地。它是全球气候研究核心，还具备地质、基因等多样研究意义，当地也出台科研规划助力相关探索。 【详解】67．上文“The history of research in Greenland includes science stemming from Inuit traditional knowledge, European polar explorations and US military expeditions.( 格陵兰岛的研究历史涵盖了源自因纽特人传统知识、欧洲极地探险以及美国军事考察的科学成果。)”介绍格陵兰科研发展历程，后文“By the 1990s, the island had become a global centre for climate-change research, after European- and US-led teams drilled ice cores deep into Greenland’s ice sheet to reveal past changes in climate.( 到了 20 世纪 90 年代，该岛成为全球气候变化研究的中心，当时由欧洲和美国领导的团队在格陵兰岛的冰盖深处钻取冰芯，以揭示过去的气候变化情况。)”讲到该地成为全球气候变化研究核心、钻探冰芯探究古气候。A选项“If Greenland’s ice sheet melted completely, it would cause the global sea level to rise by 7.4 metres.( 如果格陵兰岛的冰盖完全融化，将会导致全球海平面上升 7.4 米。)”点明冰盖完全融化会造成海平面大幅上升，凸显格陵兰气候研究的全球重大价值，顺畅衔接上下文，解释其成为气候研究中心的原因。 68．上文“Today, climate scientists from around the world measure, analyse and predict changes in Greenland’s ice sheet. (如今，世界各地的气候科学家都在测量、分析和预测格陵兰岛冰盖的变化。)”讲述科学家实时监测冰盖消融与变化，引出气候研究现状。C选项“Greenland’s 2022 research strategy is the first one released by its government.( 格陵兰岛 2022 年的研究策略是其政府发布的首个此类策略。)”指出 2022 年这份文件是当地政府首个科研战略，自然过渡到下文对这份官方研究规划、多元科研领域的介绍。 69．上文“But “Greenland is about more than just ice and climate indicators”, says a 2022 document from Greenland's government that laid out its first-ever research strategy.( 但“格陵兰不仅仅关乎冰和气候指标”，格陵兰政府 2022 年的一份文件中如是写道，该文件阐述了其首次研究战略。)”提出格陵兰科研价值不止冰雪与气候，后文“And Greenland is a unique place for genetic and biomedical research, given that its mostly Inuit population has been living around the edges of an icy island for millennia.(而格陵兰岛在基因和生物医学研究方面具有独特性，因为其主要由因纽特人组成的居民已经在这座冰岛边缘地区生活了数千年。)”紧接着介绍基因、生物医学研究。D选项“The island is a key site for geological research due to its special geology and rich critical raw materials.( 该岛屿是地质研究的关键地点，因为其特殊的地质结构和丰富的关键原材料资源。)”补充该地地质构造独特、矿产丰富，是重要地质研究基地，并列拓展多领域科研意义，行文层次连贯。 70．上文“The 2022 plan, which lays out the island’s research priorities up to 2030, emphasized that research needs to be anchored in Greenland and to respond to social needs.( 2022 年的计划明确了该岛至 2030 年的研究重点，并强调研究工作应扎根于格陵兰岛，并应回应社会需求。)”说明 2022 科研规划强调立足本土、契合社会需求。E选项“The 2022 research plan requires findings to be accessible to all and supports international cooperation.( 2022 年的研究计划要求研究成果能够向所有人开放，并支持国际合作。)”继续补充规划细则：研究成果面向大众开放，鼓励国际科研合作，延续对这份发展规划的阐述。 V. Summary writing (10’) 71．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. “Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.” What are Lindsey and Tori talking about? I can tell you what they are saying is not nice and not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip. I have noticed the effects of gossip. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic - breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out - that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie, people often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook. The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Gossip has three effects. First, embarrassing secrets and cruel lies can hurt the person being talked about. Moreover, sharing the latest rumor gives a person the satisfaction to be in a group.

For as long as historical buildings have been   31 , the Lighthouse of Alexandria is considered to have been one of the top three tallest structures in the world. It is preceded by the two pyramids identified as “Khufu” and “Khafra”. During the years of 956, 1303, and 1323, the immense structure received damage as a result of earthquakes that occurred in the area. The citizens of the time used a mixture of fire and 32 mirror like material in order to provide the lighting needed by ships to discover the port. Claims indicate that the light was so immense that ships as far out to sea as 35 miles could see the   33 light coming from the mysterious lighthouse. There are also legends that the fire emitted from the port was so protective that ships that contained enemies would be 34 at sea so that they would not reach the shores where the lighthouse stood. In the year of 1183, a traveler by the name of Ibn Jubayr observed the Lighthouse of Alexandria and made the following observation: “Description of it falls short, the eyes fail to 35 it, and words are inadequate, so vast is the spectacle...” In the year of 1994, scuba divers that specialize in archaeology searched the water near where the magnificent structure stood. They were able to 36 discover many different pieces of block and other construction materials. It is a mystery as to why the structure finally collapsed into the Mediterranean Sea. It has been 37 that the fall likely occurred in the year of 1326. There are many theories about the final collapse, but many agree that the earthquakes of the area probably resulted in the 38 . There are many other theories that indicate the structure may have been 39 destroyed due to rumors that there were great treasures buried underneath the structure. It is believed that a man identified as the “Caliph at Cairo” was told of a rumor from a neighboring port that extremely valuable treasures were under the building in order to eliminate the port as a   40 system into the area. While this is just a legend, could it have been what led to the fall of the Lighthouse of Alexandria? This remains to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the world. III.

Unstable ice made him fear falling into deadly crevasses (冰缝)that could 44 his life. Once, his navigation equipment broke down, forcing him to 45 to base camp. On the way, his feet 46 numb from cold. He also faced constant 47 from polar bears — Arctic’s most dangerous predators. Carrying protective tools, he stayed 48 day and night. Despite exhaustion and loneliness, Liu never 49 his goal. He skied hours daily, pushing his limits. When food grew 50 , he rationed carefully. His 51 and fortitude (坚韧)won Western media’s admiration. Finally, Liu reached the North Pole and planted China’s flag. He realized his dream and set a milestone 52 China’s polar exploration. “Perseverance means 53 forward even when hopeless,” he said. Liu’s story continues to 54 young explorers. It proves that with preparation and determination, impossible dreams come true — great achievements need courage to 55 challenges and keep going. 41．A．ordinary B．historic C．casual D．routine 42．A．gentle B．occasional C．fierce D．slight 43．A．instruments B．clothes C．books D．photos 44．A．save B．risk C．improve D．protect 45．A．travel B．return C．flee D．rush 46．A．grew B．remained C．proved D．felt 47．A．threat B．joy C．excitement D．hope 48．A．relaxed B．asleep C．alert D．tired 49．A．abandoned B．changed C．forgot D．shared 50．A．abundant B．fresh C．low D．delicious 51．A．weakness B．courage C．curiosity D．kindness 52．A．for B．to C．in D．at 53．A．walking B．moving C．looking D．turning 54．A．discourage B．confuse C．inspire D．worry 55．A．avoid B．take C．refuse D．face Section B（22’） Directions: Read the following three passages.

Trees are indeed vital “carbon sinks,” absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, scientists are increasingly pointing to a less visible but far more efficient ally beneath the waves: Blue Carbon. Blue carbon refers to the carbon captured and stored by coastal and marine ecosystems, specifically mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrass meadows. While these “blue forests” cover less than 2% of the seafloor, they are responsible for absorbing nearly half of the total carbon buried in the ocean each year. Compared to terrestrial forests, which store carbon in wood and soil for decades or centuries, coastal blue carbon ecosystems can lock carbon away in deep sediments for thousands of years. This makes them a critical weapon in the fight against global warming. Beyond carbon storage, these ecosystems provide essential services. Mangrove forests act as natural barriers, protecting coastal communities from storm surges and erosion. Seagrass meadows improve water quality by trapping sediments and releasing oxygen. Yet, despite their importance, these habitats are disappearing at an alarming rate — up to three times faster than tropical rainforests. The primary drivers are coastal development, pollution, and destructive fishing practices. When these ecosystems are damaged, the massive amounts of carbon stored in their soils are released back into the atmosphere, turning a climate solution into a source of emissions. Recognizing this, a new movement called “Blue Carbon Finance” is emerging. Countries like Indonesia and Australia are creating markets where companies can invest in restoring mangroves to offset their emissions. For instance, a project in Kenya’s Mikoko Pamoja has successfully sold carbon credits to fund local schools and clinics. This model demonstrates that environmental protection and economic development can go hand in hand. Nevertheless, challenges remain. Measuring the exact amount of carbon stored in underwater sediments is technically difficult, and ensuring that local communities benefit fairly from these projects requires careful governance. The race to save our blue planet is not just about planting trees; it is about saving the roots beneath the sea. 59．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1 and 2? A．To introduce a new concept and explain its mechanism. B．To compare the sizes of different forest ecosystems. C．To criticize the inefficiency of traditional carbon sinks. D．To describe the beauty of coastal landscapes. 60．According to the passage, what is a unique advantage of Blue Carbon ecosystems? A．They cover more than half of the Earth’s surface. B．They can store carbon for thousands of years underground. C．They grow faster than any terrestrial plants. D．They are easier to restore than tropical rainforests. 61．What does the author suggest about “Blue Carbon Finance”? A．It focuses solely on punishing polluting companies. B．It has completely solved the problem of coastal erosion. C．It links environmental restoration with community benefits. D．It discourages investment in renewable energy. 62．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．The Disappearance of Coastal Wetlands B．Blue Carbon: The Ocean’s Secret Weapon Against Climate Change C．How to Invest in Green Energy Projects D．The Comparison Between Trees and Seaweed C In modern society, many traditional Chinese arts and skills are at risk of disappearing gradually. As a young Miao designer, Yang Chunlin feels deeply worried and determines to make a difference. Born in a remote mountain village, Yang grew up under the influence of Miao embroidery. He learned the old skill from his mother and grandmother when he was very young. Attracted by the fantastic patterns and excellent handmade works, he developed a strong affection for this traditional art. However, he soon found that such precious skills were losing popularity among young people. Few were willing to learn or pass them down, which made Yang feel anxious and determined to change the situation. To revive the dying art, Yang founded his own fashion brand. He wisely combined traditional Miao embroidery with modern streetwear design, creating unique and fashionable products that were well-received by young people. More amazingly, he introduced Miao culture to the world stage, holding special art shows in Paris, London and other international cities. Through his efforts, more and more foreigners began to appreciate the unique charm of Chinese cultural heritage. Through years of persistent practice and innovation, Yang has successfully brought the ancient art back to life. He not only protects traditional skills but also builds a bridge for cross-cultural communication. His story inspires more young people to take responsibility for heritage protection and spread the beauty of Chinese culture to the world. 63．What challenge were traditional Chinese arts facing at first? A．They were considered too modern. B．They were in danger of dying out. C．They were too difficult to learn. D．They were only welcomed abroad. 64．What helped Yang develop love for Miao embroidery at an early age? A．His education in a big city. B．The influence of foreign fashion. C．Teaching from his family members. D．The popularity of modern clothes. 65．What can we infer about Yang Chunlin from the passage? A．He thinks traditional skills are out of date. B．He has made continuous efforts to spread Chinese culture. C．He became famous overnight through international shows. D．He teaches all young people to design modern clothes. 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Young people prefer modern fashion to traditional arts. B．Miao culture has become world-famous quickly. C．A young artist revives intangible cultural heritage through innovation. D．It is easy to spread Chinese culture to foreign countries. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Greenland is Important for Global Research Geopolitics made Greenland the unexpected focus of the world’s attention. But the territory has long been a unique region for science. The history of research in Greenland includes science stemming from Inuit traditional knowledge, European polar explorations and US military expeditions. 67 By the 1990s, the island had become a global centre for climate-change research, after European- and US-led teams drilled ice cores deep into Greenland’s ice sheet to reveal past changes in climate. Today, climate scientists from around the world measure, analyse and predict changes in Greenland’s ice sheet. 68 Last year, it lost an estimated 129 billion tonnes of ice, and it is responsible for around 20% of current sea-level rise, or about 0.8 millimetres a year. But “Greenland is about more than just ice and climate indicators”, says a 2022 document from Greenland's government that laid out its first-ever research strategy. 69 And Greenland is a unique place for genetic and biomedical research, given that its mostly Inuit population has been living around the edges of an icy island for millennia; that physical isolation led to genomic and other changes unlike anywhere else in the world. The 2022 plan, which lays out the island’s research priorities up to 2030, emphasized that research needs to be anchored in Greenland and to respond to social needs. 70 A．If Greenland’s ice sheet melted completely, it would cause the global sea level to rise by 7.4 metres. B．Greenland became a global hub for climate-change research mainly because of its unique Inuit culture. C．Greenland’s 2022 research strategy is the first one released by its government. D．The island is a key site for geological research due to its special geology and rich critical raw materials. E．The 2022 research plan requires findings to be accessible to all and supports international cooperation. F．Greenland’s Inuit population has genetic similarities to people living in other Arctic regions. V. Summary writing (10’) 71．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. “Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.” What are Lindsey and Tori talking about? I can tell you what they are saying is not nice and not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip. I have noticed the effects of gossip. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic - breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out - that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie, people often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook. The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

Let's look at how two things got their names. Many people associate key wi fruit with new zealand, but this fruit is actually native to china. China is the top producer of kiwi fruit. A teacher from new zealand took IT from china in nineteen thousand four. Then in one thousand hundred and fifty nine, a new zealand and company wanted to ship the fruit abroad. They named IT kv. After their national bird. By the nineteen seventies, everyone was calling the fruit by that name. Next, let's talk about zippers. What would we do without zippers? This clever little invention is used to fasten many different things. Zippers were developed by several people over many years, starting in nineteen fifty one. During that time, the device had a number of names. Finally, in one hundred and twenty three, an american company named a zipper and trade market. The word zip comes from the sound that makes when IT opens or closes. However, the company lost its trademark in one thousand, nine and thirty when zipper became popular as a general term. Nowadays, ninety percent of zippers are produced by a japanese company called Y, K. K. How do things get their names? That is not always an easy question to answer.
