(Kings Camps隶属于金斯活力基金会，致力于帮助年轻人发挥他们的潜力。)”可知，Kings Camps的目标是鼓励孩子们发展他们的潜力。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why Choose Kings Camps部分中最后一段“We welcome children from outside of the UK who will make friends here by communicating with kids from different backgrounds, but we do request that they at least understand English to guarantee their safety and that of others, and of course their enjoyment.(我们欢迎来自英国以外的孩子，他们将在这里与来自不同背景的孩子交流，交朋友，但我们确实要求他们至少懂英语，以保证他们和他人的安全，当然，他们的乐趣。)”可知，国际学生必须具备基本的英语能力。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Comments部分中“When we’ve asked about his day, he’s said it was “amazing and fantastic”. (当我们问起他这一天过得如何时，他说过得棒极了、精彩十足。)”以及“My sweetheart made new friends, overcame swimming fears & came away more confident too!(我的孩子交到了新朋友，克服了对游泳的恐惧，也变得更加自信)”可知，说话人是在评价自家孩子的营地体验，由此判断留言者是家长。 B Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say — far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out. “Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.” He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…” Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude. Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job. 4. What is Mary’s problem? A. She was too self-conscious. B. She had nothing to say with people. C. She had too many thoughts in mind. D. She didn’t know how to communicate. 5. Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary? A. To offer advice on her development. B. To make her feel comfortable. C. To give her a job promotion. D. To point out her problem. 6. How did Mary feel when creating her essay? A. Confident. B. Unsure. C. Serious. D. Relaxed. 7. What can we know from Mary’s experience? A. It is never too late to learn. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Losses on one side and gains on the other. D. Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是想法很多却不会与人沟通的Mary通过老板的正确引导，找到了发挥自己特长的路的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say — far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.(这并不是说她没有什么可说的——远非如此。玛丽的脑子里不断地有想法和观察，但无论她多么努力，她似乎就是说不出话来)”可知，Mary不知如何表达，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”(他停了一会儿，整理思绪。“我注意到你最近有点挣扎。看起来你和客户沟通很困难。我听说你很擅长写作。那么为什么不加入我们的广告部呢？此外，我还有一个建议……”)”可推知，Mr. Thompson和Mary进行谈话是为她的发展提供建议。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.(她一直是个有才华的作家，并且她知道自己有潜力创作出真正特别的东西。于是她开始工作，全身心地投入到她的文章中。她的话语开始滔滔不绝，玛丽发现自己在写作时有了一种新的清晰感和目的性)”可推知，玛丽在创作文章时感到很自信。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意，本文主要讲述的是想法很多却不会与人沟通的Mary通过老板的正确引导，找到了发挥自己特长的路的故事，C选项“得此失彼” 能描述玛丽的经历，故选C。 C Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions. One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float. Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these “water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems. The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,” notes designer Tim Fu. While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities. 8. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities. 9. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A. Fictional and renewable. B. Adaptable and innovative. C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional. 10. A limitation of Luca Curci’s design is that ______. A. it threatens marine life B. it lacks clean energy options C. it requires regular maintenance D. it ignores coastal water changes 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所设计的浮动城市方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (据估计，到2070年，像孟买这样的亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人面临洪水的威胁，意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所推出了浮动城市——一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计。)”可知，潜在的灾难促使Luca Curci建筑师事务所提出新设计。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计)”、第二段中“Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves (建筑结构必须像风中的竹子一样灵活，以抵御海浪)”以及第三段中“The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. (项目团队还设想了一种可再生能源的组合，从风能、水能和太阳能中提取电力，为城市供电。在极端天气下，平台会根据鱼群躲避猎人的方式，利用智能算法自动分离和重组。)”可知，该设计能随水位上升，能自适应海浪，具有适应性(adaptable)，且利用多种可再生能源、采用智能算法等，体现了创新性(innovative)。所以Luca Curci的设计具有适应性和创新性。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months (海水会慢慢损坏材料，需要每四个月进行一次维修)”可知，Luca Curci设计的一个局限性是需要定期维护。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (据估计，到2070年，像孟买这样的亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人面临洪水的威胁，意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所推出了浮动城市——一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计。)”可知，文章主要围绕“浮动城市”这一设计展开，且该设计可让城市区域随海平面上升而上升。“Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities ()”既体现了城市随海平面上升的特点，又突出了核心设计“浮动城市”。所以此标题能概括文章内容，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D If you’ve ever wished for a magic wand (魔杖) that could change your life — or someone else’s — in a different direction, Gregory Walton has good news for you. In his new book, Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts, Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them Throughout life, Walton writes, and particularly during transitions (starting college, taking a new job, ending a relationship), we ask ourselves core questions: Who am I? Do I belong? Can I do this? Answers that play into our worries can cause us to become negative. Maybe you’ve started a new job that people “like you” aren’t often hired for. Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes (刻板印象) you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. “When we’re working toward goals big or small,” Walton writes, “it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter roadblocks along the way. To keep going, we can’t treat those roadblocks as proof we don’t have what it takes. When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others. In a study, Walton found that a one-hour session for new college students that normalized worries of belonging — and showed that those worries disappeared over time — improved participants’ lives (more interaction with professors, higher graduation rates, greater career satisfaction) a full 10 years later. The events that cause those upward spirals are ordinary magic, Walton says. They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire. And we can learn to employ that magic. Ordinary Magic provides non-fantastical inspiration to improve ourselves and our communities. No magic wand required. 12. What is the main purpose of the book Ordinary Magic? A. To introduce instant magical solutions. B. To offer methods to handle worries. C. To promote the use of magic in daily life. D. To explain life transition challenges. 13. What caused a new employee to take criticism as proof of stereotypes? A. Self-doubt. B. Constant failures. C. Big goals. D. Unfair judgement. 14. What do the underlined words “spiral up” mean in paragraph 4? A. Gain more skills. B. Make constant progress. C. Keep current status. D. Become more focused. 15. What does “ordinary magic” refer to in the text? A. Small daily positive actions. B. Instant life-changing tools. C. Major events causing big changes. D. Scientific studies on psychology. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了Gregory Walton的新书《平凡的魔力》，该书阐述了日常生活中微小行为如何帮助我们消除担忧、实现积极改变，并提供了相关心理学研究支持。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them.(斯坦福大学心理学教授Walton阐述了影响我们信念、反应和后续发展的简单、通常微小的担忧。然后，他向我们展示了处理这些担忧的方法。)”可知，这本书的主要目的是提供处理担忧的方法。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. (基于你过去的经验和你所知道的刻板印象，你可能会纠结于一个担忧：我能胜任这份工作吗？当你的第一个项目遭到同事的批评时，你可能会倾向于把这次小小的互动当作刻板印象正确的证据。)”可知，新员工因为自我怀疑（即内心的担忧），从而把批评当成了刻板印象的证明。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others.(然而，当我们发现的事实帮助我们抛开这些担忧时，我们就能“spiral up”，并为自己或他人开辟新的道路。)”以及后文提到的“improved participants’ lives(改善了参与者的生活)”可知，抛开担忧后，人们能够取得积极的进展，开辟新道路。由此推知，spiral up意为“取得持续进步”。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire.(它们是日常点滴经历，帮助我们放下忧虑，让人生朝着期许的方向前行)”以及第一段的书名“Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts (《平凡的魔力：如何用小行动实现大改变的科学》)”可知，“平凡的魔力”指日常中积极的微小行为。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从后面的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。 Humans have been known to develop strong connections with dangerous animals. Werner Freund, aged 79, has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves. While why the former soldier became attached to these beautiful wild animals is a little unclear, he has been caring for them since 1972. ____16____ This, Werner has the great ability to survive in the period of entering this group of animals and getting along with these cold-blooded creatures. ____17____ They touch him with noses and play with him. What’s more, they are generally very submissive when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf! This, however, does not happen by chance. ____18____ Whenever it’s feeding time, he calls his pack to come for the raw meat by howling. As the hungry animals rush to get their food, they always meet with this scene. Werner sinks his teeth into the raw meat first. What may sound a little cruel is how the position of hierarchy (等级制度) is built in the animal world. ____19____ When he signals, the rest of the pack can join in. Werner’s wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority. Wolves, the largest member of the dog family, are mistakenly believed to be dangerous. ____20____They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood! A. But in reality they rarely attack humans. B. They are considered as the smartest beasts. C. Werner works on it with a simple act every day. D. Werner seems to know where wolves come from. E. It is always the strongest male that gets the first meal. F. The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own. G. Army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了老兵Werner和狼和谐共处的故事。 【16题详解】 根据上文“While why the former soldier became attached to these beautiful wild animals is a little unclear, he has been caring for them since 1972. (虽然这位退伍军人为什么会对这些美丽的野生动物产生感情还不太清楚，但他从1972年开始就一直在照顾它们。)”和下文“This, Werner has the great ability to survive in the period of entering this group of animals and getting along with these cold-blooded creatures.(因此，沃纳在进入这群动物并与这些冷血动物相处的时期有着很强的生存能力。)”可知，空处承上启下说明以前的从军经历对于与狼一起的生存能力的影响，空前的“former solder”呼应G选项中的Army experience，空后的“Thus”, “the great ability”呼应G选项中的“a strong body and energetic state”。G项：Army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state.(从军经历使他体魄强健，精力充沛。)符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“They touch him with noses, play with him. What’s more, they are generally very submissive when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf!( 他们用鼻子碰他，和他玩。更重要的是，当他在身边的时候，它们通常都非常顺从，就像它们在头狼身边一样!)”可知，空后的They指代的是F项中提到的wolves，本段最后的“just like they would be around a head wolf”呼应选项F中的“as if he were one of their own”。F项：The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own.(狼对待Werner就好像他是狼一样。)符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“This, however, does not happen by chance.(然而，这不是偶然发生的。)”可知，空前说，发生的这件事并非偶然，呼应选项C中的“every day”。C项：Werner works on it with a simple act every day.(Werner每天都用一个简单的动作来练习。)符合语境。说明并非偶然的原因。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“What may sound a little cruel is how the position of hierarchy (等级制度) is built in the animal world.(听起来有点残酷的是，等级制度在动物世界中的地位是如何建立的。)”可知，空前说，动物之中有等级制度，选项E接着上问继续讲等级制度的具体表现。E项：It is always the strongest male that gets the first meal.(最强壮的雄性总是得到第一顿饭。)符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Wolves, the largest member of the dog family, are mistakenly believed to be dangerous.( 狼，狗家族中最大的成员，被错误地认为是危险的。)”和下文“They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!( 他们是美丽温柔的灵魂，却被《小红帽》这样的童话故事毁了名声！)”可知，空处与上文形成转折关系，说明其实狼并不是很危险。A项：But in reality they rarely attack humans.(但事实上，它们很少攻击人类。)符合语境。故选A。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） It’s common knowledge at this point that the more education you have, the more money you’ll make.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” she grinned. “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Dear, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called saying that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was completely knocked out by the news. My heart sank, and I didn’t know what to do. “How can I perform alone?” I asked myself, tears welling up. But my mom said gently, “You’ve practiced so hard; don’t let fear stop you.” That night, I stayed up thinking about whether I should go on stage by myself. Finally, I decided that I would try, because it was for the food bank. Finally came the big moment. As I walked onto the stage, my hands were shaking, and I could hardly breathe. I closed my eyes and remembered the days when Emma and I sang together, which gave me courage. When I opened my mouth, my voice came out clear and steady. The audience clapped warmly, and I felt proud of myself for the first time. What mattered most was not perfection, but that I dared to try. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者原本和艾玛准备一起参加才艺表演，为当地食物银行筹款，然而在表演前一天，艾玛突然生病无法参加，作者在妈妈的鼓励下决定独自上台表演，最终成功完成表演并赢得了观众掌声的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我被这个消息完全惊呆了。”可知，第一段可描写作者得知艾玛生病无法参加表演后的心情以及妈妈的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，那个重要的时刻到来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者独自上台表演的过程以及表演结束后的感受。 2. 续写线索：得知消息——心情低落——妈妈鼓励——决定独自表演——上台表演——表演成功——赢得掌声 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①登台表演：go on stage/step onto the stage ②决定：decide/make up one’s mind ③回忆：remember/recall/think back to ④鼓掌：clap/applaud/give applause 情绪类 ①眼泪涌出：tears welling up/tears filling one’s eyes ②自豪：feel proud of/ take pride in 【点睛】【高分句型1】That night, I stayed up thinking about whether I should go on stage by myself.

She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say — far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out. “Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.” He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…” Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude. Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job. 4. What is Mary’s problem? A. She was too self-conscious. B. She had nothing to say with people. C. She had too many thoughts in mind. D. She didn’t know how to communicate. 5. Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary? A. To offer advice on her development. B. To make her feel comfortable. C. To give her a job promotion. D. To point out her problem. 6. How did Mary feel when creating her essay? A. Confident. B. Unsure. C. Serious. D. Relaxed. 7. What can we know from Mary’s experience? A. It is never too late to learn. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Losses on one side and gains on the other. D. Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence. C Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions. One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float. Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these “water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems. The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,” notes designer Tim Fu. While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities. 8. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities. 9. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A. Fictional and renewable. B. Adaptable and innovative. C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional. 10. A limitation of Luca Curci’s design is that ______. A. it threatens marine life B. it lacks clean energy options C. it requires regular maintenance D. it ignores coastal water changes 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo D If you’ve ever wished for a magic wand (魔杖) that could change your life — or someone else’s — in a different direction, Gregory Walton has good news for you. In his new book, Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts, Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them Throughout life, Walton writes, and particularly during transitions (starting college, taking a new job, ending a relationship), we ask ourselves core questions: Who am I? Do I belong? Can I do this? Answers that play into our worries can cause us to become negative. Maybe you’ve started a new job that people “like you” aren’t often hired for. Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes (刻板印象) you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. “When we’re working toward goals big or small,” Walton writes, “it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter roadblocks along the way. To keep going, we can’t treat those roadblocks as proof we don’t have what it takes. When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others. In a study, Walton found that a one-hour session for new college students that normalized worries of belonging — and showed that those worries disappeared over time — improved participants’ lives (more interaction with professors, higher graduation rates, greater career satisfaction) a full 10 years later. The events that cause those upward spirals are ordinary magic, Walton says. They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire. And we can learn to employ that magic. Ordinary Magic provides non-fantastical inspiration to improve ourselves and our communities. No magic wand required. 12. What is the main purpose of the book Ordinary Magic? A. To introduce instant magical solutions. B. To offer methods to handle worries. C. To promote the use of magic in daily life. D. To explain life transition challenges. 13. What caused a new employee to take criticism as proof of stereotypes? A. Self-doubt. B. Constant failures. C. Big goals. D. Unfair judgement. 14. What do the underlined words “spiral up” mean in paragraph 4? A. Gain more skills. B. Make constant progress. C. Keep current status. D. Become more focused. 15. What does “ordinary magic” refer to in the text? A. Small daily positive actions. B. Instant life-changing tools. C. Major events causing big changes. D. Scientific studies on psychology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从后面的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。 Humans have been known to develop strong connections with dangerous animals. Werner Freund, aged 79, has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves. While why the former soldier became attached to these beautiful wild animals is a little unclear, he has been caring for them since 1972. ____16____ This, Werner has the great ability to survive in the period of entering this group of animals and getting along with these cold-blooded creatures. ____17____ They touch him with noses and play with him. What’s more, they are generally very submissive when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf! This, however, does not happen by chance. ____18____ Whenever it’s feeding time, he calls his pack to come for the raw meat by howling.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” she grinned. “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Dear, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called saying that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
