A
We all know that indigenous tribes (部落) in rainforests support relatively few people, but they manage rainforests’ sustainably. These communities serve as guardians of an ancient wisdom and heritage passed down through generations. They possess a thorough, traditional knowledge of the forest ecosystem, using resources without exhausting them. By contrast, the wealthy landowners, large companies and illegal loggers, in their pursuit of financial gain, have done huge damage. Their deforestation and burning of tropical rainforests are already having severe effects on global climate, biodiversity, human health, and local and regional socioeconomics.
Faced with these accelerating impacts, we urgently need sustainable management of rainforest resources. A multi-faceted approach combining conservation, sustainable use, and international cooperation is essential for rainforest protection.
Selective logging and replanting — introduced in Malaysia (Figure 1) — avoids the completely destructive clear felling (砍伐) .
Ecotourism, such as in Costa Rica and Malaysia, introduces people to the natural world and provides long-term income to local people and governments.
Conservation and education encourages preservation of rainforests in national parks and nature reserves for scientific research (e.g. the Caura Basin, Venezuela) .
International agreements recognize the global importance of rainforests in combating climate change. They include “debt-for-nature-swapping” agreements under which some donor countries and organisations reduce their debt repayment demands in return for calling a stop to destructive logging.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes sustainably managed forestry through education programmes and its FSC-labelled products.
1. What has caused serious damage to rainforests?
A. Profit-driven activities. B. Traditional farming practices.
C. The decline of local economy. D. Deforestation by indigenous tribes.
2. According to Figure 1, how long does forest regeneration take before the next cycle?
A. 3-6 months. B. 10-15 years. C. 30-40 years. D. 60-70 years.
3. Which practice reflects global collaboration in rainforest management?
A. Selective logging. B. Debt-for-nature swaps.
C. Developing ecotourism. D. Establishing natural parks.

Esther Kimani, a pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers.
Kimani’s journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born.
In Kenya alone, 7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yields (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are too expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected.
A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. “Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones,” she notes. “Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind.”
Kimani’s innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within 5 years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture.
4. Why did Kimani establish FLT?
A. To fund rural farmers. B. To expand AI industry.
C. To decrease crop losses. D. To research crop varieties.
5. How does the AI camera assist farmers?
A. By linking them to consultants. B. By sending them early warnings.
C. By using drones to monitor crops. D. By driving pests away automatically.
6. What is an advantage of Kimani’s innovation?
A. Equal accessibility. B. Easy maintenance.
C. Enormous food storage. D. Personalized service.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Financial plans affect agriculture.
B. Kimani will afford further education.
C. African agriculture will emerge as a leader.
D. Kimani’s creativity fuels a promising future.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了农业科技先驱Esther Kimani创立FLT,利用AI技术帮助非洲农民应对病虫害、减少损失,并通过短信预警系统确保技术普及,旨在改善农民生计。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. (亲眼目睹了病虫害对他们的农作物造成的严重损害——以及由此带来的收入损失——她很快便明白了农业方面的损失意味着诸如学费和医疗费用等基本需求无法得到满足。)”和“It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born. (正是在那里,她意识到科技能够解决农村农民所面临的困境,于是FLT就此诞生。)”可知,Kimani创立FLT是为了应用AI对抗病虫害,从而减少农作物损失。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected. (为解决这一关键问题,她研发了一款由人工智能驱动的摄像头,该摄像头安装在农场内,无需预先支付费用。它能够持续扫描农作物,并在检测到害虫或疾病时通过短信向农民发出警报。)”可知,AI摄像头通过提前向农民发出警报起到帮助。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. (Kimani的重点工作之一是为女性农民提供支持。在发展中国家,女性农民占农业劳动力的43%,但她们往往无法获得相关技术。)”和“Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind. (通过短信服务,我们确保女性不被落下。)”可知,Kimani的创新特别考虑了技术获取的公平性,确保使用功能手机的女性农民也能受益。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture. (对于Kimani而言,到2030年取得成功意味着要让20万小规模农户能够过上体面的生活——通过提高产量来获得更好的收益,从而能够享有教育、医疗和经济上的稳定保障。Kimani不仅在打造一家公司,她还在重塑非洲农业的未来。)”可知,这里描述了Kimani的宏伟目标以及超越商业的愿景,暗示她的创造力正在为非洲的美好未来注入活力。
C
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is sparking intense debate about its role in human relationships and emotional well-being. While Bill Gates predicted AI could replace educators and healthcare workers, others envision a future where humans befriend and even fall in love with AI. This shift raises profound questions about the nature of social connection and what it means to truly relate to another being.
Sociologist Allison Pugh highlights a subtle (微妙的) yet critical concern: the loss of authentic human recognition. She recalls observing a boy in a remote online school who, after solving a math problem, looked around for someone to share his success with. No one was watching. Advanced social AI can pretend to “pay attention to you”, but Pugh argues this is a different experience. Before cell phones, a phone call might connect you with an entire household, building up a sense of community. Now, technology forces us to view each other as isolated individuals, breaking our social lives into small parts and making our connections more like a deal.
Pugh warns that social AI, being programmable and lacking an independent perspective, offers a “false” kind of friendship. Unlike human relationships, which involve mystery, challenge, and the acceptance of an “other,” AI is an extension of ourselves. It can be tailored to our preferences but cannot truly understand or challenge us. Real connection requires genuine understanding — an opposing perspective that AI lacks. As human-like AI competes for our attention, we must consider what is lost when we replace the complexity of human interaction with the convenience of a machine. The convenience of AI may come at the cost of our deepest human needs for mutual (相互的) understanding.
This distinction is crucial because human growth often occurs through friction (摩擦). When we interact with someone who has a different background, opinion, or emotion, we learn empathy (共情) and adaptability. An AI companion, designed to please and agree with us, removes this friction, potentially holding back our emotional development. We risk becoming isolated in a bubble of our own preferences, losing the ability to navigate the messy, unpredictable, but ultimately rewarding dynamics of real human relationships. Therefore, while AI can provide comfort, it cannot replace the unique value of a bond forged between two autonomous beings.
8. Why does Pugh mention the boy studying online?
A. To highlight the rapid evolution of AI.
B. To contrast past and present social ties.
C. To stress the forces of advanced technology.
D. To show the problem of lacking human acknowledgement.
9. What can we infer about AI friendship?
A. It has independent thinking ability. B. It fails to bring true understanding.
C. It contains mystery and challenge. D. It can promote human adaptability.
10. What causes human emotional development?
A. Convenience from advanced machines. B. Common preferences among people.
C. Disagreement from varied human interactions. D. The comfort provided by AI companions.
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. AI: A Threat to Human Relationships B. AI: An ideal substitute for Human Recognition
C. AI: A New Way to Connect with Others D. AI: A New Trend for Friendship and Love
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人工智能(AI)在人际关系中的角色,重点分析了社交AI无法提供真实的人类认可与理解,并可能以牺牲人类真实互动和情感发展为代价换取便利。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sociologist Allison Pugh highlights a subtle (微妙的) yet critical concern: the loss of authentic human recognition. She recalls observing a boy in a remote online school who, after solving a math problem, looked around for someone to share his success with. No one was watching. (社会学家艾莉森·皮尤强调了一个微妙但关键的问题:真实人类认可的丧失。她回忆观察到,一个在远程在线学校的男孩在解决了一个数学问题后,环顾四周想找人与他分享他的成功。但无人在看)”可知,皮尤提到这个男孩是为了具体说明“真实人类认可的丧失”这一现象。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Pugh warns that social AI, being programmable and lacking an independent perspective, offers a “false” kind of friendship. Unlike human relationships, which involve mystery, challenge, and the acceptance of an “other,” AI is an extension of ourselves. It can be tailored to our preferences but cannot truly understand or challenge us. Real connection requires genuine understanding — an opposing perspective that AI lacks. (皮尤警告说,社交AI是可编程且缺乏独立视角的,它提供一种“虚假”的友谊。与涉及神秘感、挑战性和接纳“他者”的人际关系不同,AI是我们自身的延伸。它可以按我们的喜好定制,但无法真正理解或挑战我们。真正的连接需要真正的理解——这是AI缺乏的对立视角)”可推断,由AI建立的友谊因缺乏真正的理解和挑战,并不能带来真正的理解。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This distinction is crucial because human growth often occurs through friction (摩擦). When we interact with someone who has a different background, opinion, or emotion, we learn empathy (共情) and adaptability. (这种区别至关重要,因为人类的成长往往通过摩擦发生。当我们与具有不同背景、观点或情感的人互动时,我们学会了共情和适应能力)”可知,人类情感发展源于在与意见不同的人互动中产生的“摩擦”(即不同意见)。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第一段中“The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is sparking intense debate about its role in human relationships and emotional well-being... This shift raises profound questions about the nature of social connection and what it means to truly relate to another being. (人工智能的快速发展正引发关于其在人际关系和情感福祉中作用的激烈辩论……这种转变引发了关于社交连接的本质以及真正与另一个生命体建立关系意味着什么的深刻问题)”和第三段中“The convenience of AI may come at the cost of our deepest human needs for mutual (相互的) understanding. (AI的便利性可能以满足我们人类对相互理解的最深层需求为代价)”可知,文章的核心论点在于AI对人类真实社交关系与情感发展构成的潜在威胁与代价。故A项“AI: A Threat to Human Relationships(AI:对人类关系的威胁)”能概括文章主旨,适合作文章标题。故选A项。
D
WE MAY have been missing signals from intelligent aliens (外星人) because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for the wrong type of signal, potentially failing to spot promising evidence of alien life, but the chances of a future discovery are now higher.
The not-for-profit organisation carries out research to help prove the existence of alien life, which includes listening for radio signals from outer space that cannot be explained by natural cosmological phenomena.
Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars.
Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown at the SETI Institute calculated the scale of the effect on radio transmissions (传输) from spacecraft in our own solar system, and then extrapolated that to other stellar environments. They found that a 100-megahertz signal could be widened as much as 100 hertz — enough to “fall below traditional detection thresholds”. A space weather event can similarly increase the amount of broadening experienced by a signal to a significant degree.
John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty: it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. “It’s over 50 years that we’ve been actively searching and that’s a blink of the eye, isn’t it, when you think about it,” says Elliott.
12. Why have researchers possibly failed to receive signals from intelligent aliens?
A. The signals cannot reach the Earth.
B. Their equipment was not advanced enough.
C. The signals did not appear in the expected form.
D. Space weather events prevented the signal traveling.
13. How is the alien signal affected by the stellar winds of stars?
A. B.
C. D.
(Note: Plots show relative changes in signal width and strength, not absolute values.)
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. How the new findings were reached. B. How spacecraft send radio signals.
C. What affects radio signal transmission. D. What helped researchers make progress.
15. Which statement does John Elliott probably agree with?
A. Much progress has been made so far.
B. Future discoveries will be fruitful.
C. Previous searches wasted a lot of time.
D. Fifty years is too long for alien hunting.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了由于恒星风的影响,我们可能错过了来自智能外星人的信号,但未来发现的可能性更高。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars. (此前人们预期这种信号是在窄频段内尖锐、清晰的无线电信号。但新的研究表明,任何从遥远行星发出的此类信号,在穿过恒星的恒星风时,最终可能会在频段内变得更微弱、更宽——本质上会稍微模糊一些。)”可知,研究人员可能没有接收到来自智能外星人的信号,是因为信号没有以预期的形式出现。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty: it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. (英国圣安德鲁斯大学的约翰·埃利奥特(John Elliott)表示,他认为这个消息是半满的,而不是半空的:这意味着之前的搜索可能错过了证据,但也意味着未来的搜索更有可能成功。)”可知,约翰·埃利奥特认为未来的发现将会很有成果。

Did you know that your stylish jacket or favorite jeans might once have been plastic bottles? This is the world of rPET, also known as recycled polyester (再生聚酯纤维). ____16____ As a result, a used water bottle can take on a new life as activewear or even high-fashion pieces.
____17____ First, plastic bottles are collected, sorted, and cleaned. After cleaning, they are cut, melted into liquid, and stretched into thin fibers. These fibers are then spun into yarn (纱线), which can be woven into different kinds of fabric. Finally, the fabric goes through finishing processes such as printing or coating to achieve the desired color, pattern, and performance.
Some people assume that clothing made from “waste” must be cheap or low-quality. It is true that plastic-based fabrics can be less breathable and may feel rough for people with sensitive skin. ____18____ According to a Textile (纺织品) Exchange report, the use of rPET grew by 20% between 2020 and 2021, and made up about 14% of all global polyester production in 2022. This growth comes from rising awareness of both its practical advantages and its environmental value.
In terms of performance, rPET is strong, durable, and quick-drying — qualities that make it ideal for sportswear. ____19____ Beyond performance, rPET supports the environment. Producing it uses 99% less water than producing traditional polyester, an important benefit for water-stressed regions involved in textile manufacturing. It also helps reduce waste. About 25 rPET bottles can be turned into the fibers for one jacket. ____20____
rPET is not a perfect solution to plastic pollution, but it is a meaningful step toward more sustainable fashion and a cleaner planet.
A. It is also lightweight and wrinkle-resistant.
B. However, market trends tell a different story.
C. The transformation happens through several steps.
D. This keeps millions of plastic bottles out of landfills each year.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Maybe teenage years weren’t the ideal time to receive my mother’s advice to wear a range of colours. She would say, “What better way to express how you feel on any given day, and convey that mood ____36____ the world? It was important to the eye, to the soul.”
This is hardly among the best ____37____ (suggestion) for any teenager, especially one ____38____ was hoping to disappear in all-black sportswear. Now I see her advice isn’t about fashion or looking good for others, or making an impression, ____39____ about dressing from the inside. It has taken me a while to lean into the power of this. I’m not quite sure when I ____40____ (start) applying it myself but I remember waking up one morning in my early 20s, looking at my wardrobe (衣柜) and thinking: what colour do I feel like wearing today?
It’s ____41____ question that brings a surprising degree of daily self-awareness. It’s asking, “What mood am I in?” “Do I want ____42____ (see) or do I want to hide?”. The idea of starting the day in the right colour sends me back to myself.
My wardrobe ____43____ (become) more colourful over the years, and, my mother was right: it does bring me joy to wear pink shoes with a golden shine, and a silver dress which is so bright that it can ____44____ (probable) be spotted from the moon. Wearing _____45_____ (shine) colours brings me enormous happiness, and when I do, I feel as if I am shouting: “Look, it’s me, me, meeee.”
【答案】36. to 37. suggestions
38. who##that
39. but 40. started
41. a 42. to be seen
43. has become
44. probably
45. shiny##shining
【解析】
【导语】作者讲述了年少时并不理解母亲建议自己多穿各色衣物的用意,长大后才慢慢领会到穿搭色彩是内心情绪的外在表达,也逐渐爱上了色彩丰富的服饰。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:她会说:“还有什么比这更好的方式,来表达你在任何一天的感受,并把那种情绪传递给世界呢?这对眼睛很重要,对灵魂也很重要。”convey sth. to sb./sth.意为“向……传递某物”,所以此处为介词to。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这对任何青少年来说都算不上最好的建议之一,尤其是对于一个想穿着全黑运动服把自己隐藏起来的青少年来说。此处为名词作宾语,固定结构“one of +可数名词复数”表示“……之一”,suggestion是可数名词,所以用复数形式suggestions。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这对任何青少年来说都算不上最好的建议之一,尤其是对于一个想穿着全黑运动服把自己隐藏起来的青少年来说。此处为定语从句,先行词是one,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,所以关系代词who或者that。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:如今我明白她的建议无关时尚、取悦他人或是留下印象,而是源自内心的穿搭。固定结构not...but...意为“不是……而是……”,连接两个并列的成分,所以此处填连词but。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:我不太确定自己是什么时候开始这么做的,但我记得二十出头的某天早晨,我醒来后看着衣柜,心想:今天我想穿什么颜色?此处为谓语动词,结合语境,“开始践行”是过去发生的动作,要用一般过去时,start的过去式为started。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是一个能让人在日常生活中产生强烈自我认知的问题。question为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示泛指“一个问题”,question是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我想被人注意到,还是想躲起来?根据固定搭配want to do sth.意为“想要做某事”,主语I和动词see之间是被动关系,表示“被看见”,所以用动词不定式的被动形式to be seen。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:这些年来,我的衣柜变得越来越多彩,而且妈妈说得没错:穿上金色光泽的粉色鞋子,再配一条亮得恐怕从月球上都能看到的银色裙子,确实让我感到快乐。此处为谓语动词,时间状语over the years常与现在完成时连用,结构为have/has +过去分词,主语My wardrobe是第三人称单数,become的过去分词为become,所以谓语动词为has become。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些年来,我的衣柜变得越来越多彩,而且妈妈说得没错:穿上金色光泽的粉色鞋子,再配一条亮得恐怕从月球上都能看到的银色裙子,确实让我感到快乐。此处修饰动词be spotted,需要使用副词,probable对应的副词形式是probably意为“可能”。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:穿上闪亮的颜色让我感到巨大的快乐,而当我这样做的时候,我觉得自己仿佛在大喊:"看,是我,是我,是我啊!"此处修饰名词colours,需要使用形容词,shine对应的形容词为shiny“发亮的”或shining“闪耀的”,均作定语。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m glad you’re interested in this saying! It means a good natural environment (lucid waters, lush mountains) is as precious as gold and silver — eco-friendly development brings long-term benefits instead of short-term gains from damaging nature.
For example, many villages now develop eco-tourism: they protect forests and rivers, and then attract visitors. Locals earn money by running inns or selling local products, while keeping the environment intact. It’s a win-win situation!
Would you like me to share more examples of such villages?
Yours sincerely,
Li Jin

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为 150词左右。
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside"the polar bear capital of the world”-the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears-like all wild animals-should be photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子)
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇),I took some pictures or the bear.
Eilt and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes,but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and.through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫),the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.
Para 1.
A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp.
Para 2.
At that very moment,the helicopter arrived.
【答案】A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our camp. Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness. The noises turned Elli and I pale with horror. I feared that the giant would destroy our whole fence. He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence. Elli seized this opportunity to take somepictures of the bear. The animal’s noises echoed all around us. We betrayed our feelings by huddling together, shivering with fear. After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, he trotted forward a few steps.
At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved. Elli used pepper spray again to buy us enough time. But this time the bear became more alert. He regarded us with the merciless necessity of hunger, so we throw all the food we have. He then turned away and started devouring. As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.
【解析】
【分析】本文主要讲述了人与熊对抗,之后成功脱险的故事。
【详解】主人公的感情线变化为:兴奋渴望→惊恐→放松。剧情线以主人公如何与北极熊周旋并成功摆脱它展开。具体思路如下:
由第一段的段首提示句可知:几分钟后,熊又回到营地。接下来可通过场景渲染,描写当时令人颤栗惊恐的画面,例如“Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.”这不仅合理地描写了熊的反应,也描绘出让人战栗的场景。要注意与第二段首句的衔接。
由第二段的段首提示句可知:此时,直升机到了。如果想要进行续写两段的合理衔接,第一段的结尾可描写成“After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, the bear trotted forward a few steps.”这样可以营造出危急的场景。“我们”看到直升机的到来,感到绝处逢生的喜悦,可以以人物心理描写作为第二段的开头,重点描写喜极而泣的状态,例如“My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved.”最后,结尾部分需要迅速收束,并说明成功逃脱的结局。
【点睛】本文续写内容与原文高度契合,使用了高级词汇和句子,尤其突出的是,场景和心理描写传神到位,如:Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.,又如He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence.,这不仅合理地描写了熊的动作,也渲染出让人战栗的场景,让读者有极强的代入感;再如As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.传神地描绘出了Elli对于绝处逢生感到难以言表的喜悦和对救援的感激之情,等等。

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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
We all know that indigenous tribes (部落) in rainforests support relatively few people, but they manage rainforests’ sustainably. These communities serve as guardians of an ancient wisdom and heritage passed down through generations. They possess a thorough, traditional knowledge of the forest ecosystem, using resources without exhausting them. By contrast, the wealthy landowners, large companies and illegal loggers, in their pursuit of financial gain, have done huge damage. Their deforestation and burning of tropical rainforests are already having severe effects on global climate, biodiversity, human health, and local and regional socioeconomics.
Faced with these accelerating impacts, we urgently need sustainable management of rainforest resources. A multi-faceted approach combining conservation, sustainable use, and international cooperation is essential for rainforest protection.
Selective logging and replanting — introduced in Malaysia (Figure 1) — avoids the completely destructive clear felling (砍伐) .
Ecotourism, such as in Costa Rica and Malaysia, introduces people to the natural world and provides long-term income to local people and governments.
Conservation and education encourages preservation of rainforests in national parks and nature reserves for scientific research (e.g. the Caura Basin, Venezuela) .
International agreements recognize the global importance of rainforests in combating climate change. They include “debt-for-nature-swapping” agreements under which some donor countries and organisations reduce their debt repayment demands in return for calling a stop to destructive logging.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes sustainably managed forestry through education programmes and its FSC-labelled products.
1. What has caused serious damage to rainforests?
A. Profit-driven activities. B. Traditional farming practices.
C. The decline of local economy. D. Deforestation by indigenous tribes.
2. According to Figure 1, how long does forest regeneration take before the next cycle?
A. 3-6 months. B. 10-15 years. C. 30-40 years. D. 60-70 years.
3. Which practice reflects global collaboration in rainforest management?
A. Selective logging. B. Debt-for-nature swaps.
C. Developing ecotourism. D. Establishing natural parks.
B
Esther Kimani, a pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers.
Kimani’s journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born.
In Kenya alone, 7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yields (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are too expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected.
A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. “Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones,” she notes. “Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind.”
Kimani’s innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within 5 years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture.
4. Why did Kimani establish FLT?
A. To fund rural farmers. B. To expand AI industry.
C. To decrease crop losses. D. To research crop varieties.
5. How does the AI camera assist farmers?
A. By linking them to consultants. B. By sending them early warnings.
C. By using drones to monitor crops. D. By driving pests away automatically.
6. What is an advantage of Kimani’s innovation?
A. Equal accessibility. B. Easy maintenance.
C. Enormous food storage. D. Personalized service.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Financial plans affect agriculture.
B. Kimani will afford further education.
C. African agriculture will emerge as a leader.
D. Kimani’s creativity fuels a promising future.
C
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is sparking intense debate about its role in human relationships and emotional well-being. While Bill Gates predicted AI could replace educators and healthcare workers, others envision a future where humans befriend and even fall in love with AI. This shift raises profound questions about the nature of social connection and what it means to truly relate to another being.
Sociologist Allison Pugh highlights a subtle (微妙的) yet critical concern: the loss of authentic human recognition. She recalls observing a boy in a remote online school who, after solving a math problem, looked around for someone to share his success with. No one was watching. Advanced social AI can pretend to “pay attention to you”, but Pugh argues this is a different experience. Before cell phones, a phone call might connect you with an entire household, building up a sense of community. Now, technology forces us to view each other as isolated individuals, breaking our social lives into small parts and making our connections more like a deal.
Pugh warns that social AI, being programmable and lacking an independent perspective, offers a “false” kind of friendship. Unlike human relationships, which involve mystery, challenge, and the acceptance of an “other,” AI is an extension of ourselves. It can be tailored to our preferences but cannot truly understand or challenge us. Real connection requires genuine understanding — an opposing perspective that AI lacks. As human-like AI competes for our attention, we must consider what is lost when we replace the complexity of human interaction with the convenience of a machine. The convenience of AI may come at the cost of our deepest human needs for mutual (相互的) understanding.
This distinction is crucial because human growth often occurs through friction (摩擦). When we interact with someone who has a different background, opinion, or emotion, we learn empathy (共情) and adaptability. An AI companion, designed to please and agree with us, removes this friction, potentially holding back our emotional development. We risk becoming isolated in a bubble of our own preferences, losing the ability to navigate the messy, unpredictable, but ultimately rewarding dynamics of real human relationships. Therefore, while AI can provide comfort, it cannot replace the unique value of a bond forged between two autonomous beings.
8. Why does Pugh mention the boy studying online?
A. To highlight the rapid evolution of AI.
B. To contrast past and present social ties.
C. To stress the forces of advanced technology.
D. To show the problem of lacking human acknowledgement.
9. What can we infer about AI friendship?
A. It has independent thinking ability. B. It fails to bring true understanding.
C. It contains mystery and challenge. D. It can promote human adaptability.
10. What causes human emotional development?
A. Convenience from advanced machines. B. Common preferences among people.
C. Disagreement from varied human interactions. D. The comfort provided by AI companions.
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. AI: A Threat to Human Relationships B. AI: An ideal substitute for Human Recognition
C. AI: A New Way to Connect with Others D. AI: A New Trend for Friendship and Love
D
WE MAY have been missing signals from intelligent aliens (外星人) because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for the wrong type of signal, potentially failing to spot promising evidence of alien life, but the chances of a future discovery are now higher.
The not-for-profit organisation carries out research to help prove the existence of alien life, which includes listening for radio signals from outer space that cannot be explained by natural cosmological phenomena.
Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars.
Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown at the SETI Institute calculated the scale of the effect on radio transmissions (传输) from spacecraft in our own solar system, and then extrapolated that to other stellar environments. They found that a 100-megahertz signal could be widened as much as 100 hertz — enough to “fall below traditional detection thresholds”. A space weather event can similarly increase the amount of broadening experienced by a signal to a significant degree.
John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty: it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. “It’s over 50 years that we’ve been actively searching and that’s a blink of the eye, isn’t it, when you think about it,” says Elliott.
12. Why have researchers possibly failed to receive signals from intelligent aliens?
A. The signals cannot reach the Earth.
B. Their equipment was not advanced enough.
C. The signals did not appear in the expected form.
D. Space weather events prevented the signal traveling.
13. How is the alien signal affected by the stellar winds of stars?
A. B.
C. D.
(Note: Plots show relative changes in signal width and strength, not absolute values.)
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. How the new findings were reached. B. How spacecraft send radio signals.
C. What affects radio signal transmission. D. What helped researchers make progress.
15. Which statement does John Elliott probably agree with?
A. Much progress has been made so far.
B. Future discoveries will be fruitful.
C. Previous searches wasted a lot of time.
D. Fifty years is too long for alien hunting.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Did you know that your stylish jacket or favorite jeans might once have been plastic bottles? This is the world of rPET, also known as recycled polyester (再生聚酯纤维). ____16____ As a result, a used water bottle can take on a new life as activewear or even high-fashion pieces.
____17____ First, plastic bottles are collected, sorted, and cleaned. After cleaning, they are cut, melted into liquid, and stretched into thin fibers. These fibers are then spun into yarn (纱线), which can be woven into different kinds of fabric. Finally, the fabric goes through finishing processes such as printing or coating to achieve the desired color, pattern, and performance.
Some people assume that clothing made from “waste” must be cheap or low-quality. It is true that plastic-based fabrics can be less breathable and may feel rough for people with sensitive skin. ____18____ According to a Textile (纺织品) Exchange report, the use of rPET grew by 20% between 2020 and 2021, and made up about 14% of all global polyester production in 2022. This growth comes from rising awareness of both its practical advantages and its environmental value.
In terms of performance, rPET is strong, durable, and quick-drying — qualities that make it ideal for sportswear. ____19____ Beyond performance, rPET supports the environment. Producing it uses 99% less water than producing traditional polyester, an important benefit for water-stressed regions involved in textile manufacturing. It also helps reduce waste. About 25 rPET bottles can be turned into the fibers for one jacket. ____20____
rPET is not a perfect solution to plastic pollution, but it is a meaningful step toward more sustainable fashion and a cleaner planet.
A. It is also lightweight and wrinkle-resistant.
B. However, market trends tell a different story.
C. The transformation happens through several steps.
D. This keeps millions of plastic bottles out of landfills each year.
E. Recycling rPET fabric back into new fabric can be challenging.
F. While it is safe to wear, it releases microplastics when it is washed.
G. Unlike traditional polyester made from petrol, rPET uses existing plastic.

Maybe teenage years weren’t the ideal time to receive my mother’s advice to wear a range of colours. She would say, “What better way to express how you feel on any given day, and convey that mood ____36____ the world? It was important to the eye, to the soul.”
This is hardly among the best ____37____ (suggestion) for any teenager, especially one ____38____ was hoping to disappear in all-black sportswear. Now I see her advice isn’t about fashion or looking good for others, or making an impression, ____39____ about dressing from the inside. It has taken me a while to lean into the power of this. I’m not quite sure when I ____40____ (start) applying it myself but I remember waking up one morning in my early 20s, looking at my wardrobe (衣柜) and thinking: what colour do I feel like wearing today?
It’s ____41____ question that brings a surprising degree of daily self-awareness. It’s asking, “What mood am I in?” “Do I want ____42____ (see) or do I want to hide?”. The idea of starting the day in the right colour sends me back to myself.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为 150词左右。
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside"the polar bear capital of the world”-the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears-like all wild animals-should be photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子)
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇),I took some pictures or the bear.
Eilt and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes,but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and.through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫),the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.
Para 1.
A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp.
Para 2.
At that very moment,the helicopter arrived.
