But I want you to concentrate on your own speed. Don’t go too fast. Let the others race ahead and become tired, because you will catch them soon enough. After the first six miles, you will enter the water to swim for one mile. Since it is a lake, the water will be really cold. But don’t forget your training. Focus on your breathing, and you will be fine. Once you reach the other side, this is where you can win the race. It is really important that you find your shoes quickly. Once you do, jump on your bike and speed ahead. Cycling is what you are best at, so don’t hang around. Hopefully, if you’ve had a successful run and swim, you won’t be too far behind the leaders. Remember, it’ll be ten miles on your bike and then you’ll reach the finish line. The last thing I want to say is good luck. I hope you win tomorrow. 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a team of young scientists is working to map carbon storage in trees using drones and artificial intelligence.

(这些数据与当地社区和政策制定者免费共享，鼓励可持续的土地利用实践。该项目由一个全球环境基金会资助，已培训了200多名当地学生掌握无人机驾驶和数据分析技能。)”可推知，该项目促进了科学家与当地人之间的合作。 B When 17-year-old Elara discovered that her coastal town’s coral reefs were dying due to rising sea temperatures, she didn’t just write a report — she started a movement. With guidancefrom marine biologists, she designed low-cost “coral nurseries” using recycled materials. Local fishermen, initially skeptical, joined her after seeing fish populations return. However, a sudden storm destroyed many nurseries. Instead of giving up Elara raised funds online to rebuild them stronger. Within two years, the reef showed signs of recovery, and her model was adopted by five neighboring towns. “Courage isn’t the absence of fear,” she says, “but the decision that something else is more important.” 24. What caused the initial damage to the coral reefs? A. Overfishing by local fishermen. B. Pollution from nearby factories. C. Rising ocean temperatures. D. A sudden destructive storm. 25. How did Elara change the fishermen’s attitude? A. By offering them paid jobs. B. By showing visible ecological improvement. C. By threatening legal action. D. By partnering with marine biologists. 26. What did Elara do after the storm destroyed the nurseries? A. She gave up the project. B. She asked the government for help. C. She moved the nurseries to another town. D. She collected donations online to rebuild. 27. What does Elara’s story mainly teach us? A. Setbacks should not stop meaningful efforts. B. Environmental action requires advanced technology. C. Fear is a sign of weakness. D. Only adults can lead successful movements. 【答案】24. C25. B26. D27. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了17岁少女Elara面对珊瑚礁危机，发起行动克服困难，最终成功恢复生态的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第一句“When 17-year-old Elara discovered that her coastal town’s coral reefs were dying due to rising sea temperatures, she didn’t just write a report — she started a movement.(当17岁的Elara发现她所在沿海小镇的珊瑚礁因海水温度上升而濒临死亡时，她没有仅仅写一份报告——她发起了一场行动。)”可知，对珊瑚礁造成最初损害的原因是海洋温度上升。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第三句“Local fishermen, initially skeptical, joined her after seeing fish populations return.(当地渔民起初持怀疑态度，但在看到鱼类种群回归后加入了她的行列。)”可知，Elara通过展示明显的生态改善改变了渔民的态度。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第五句“Instead of giving up, Elara raised funds online to rebuild them stronger.(Elara没有放弃，而是在网上筹集资金，将珊瑚苗圃重建得更坚固。)”可知，暴风雨摧毁苗圃后，Elara在网上筹集捐款进行重建。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一句““Courage isn’t the absence of fear,” she says, “but the decision that something else is more important.” (“勇气不是没有恐惧，”她说道，“而是认定别的东西更重要。”)”可知，全文讲述了17岁的Elara发现珊瑚礁因海水升温而死亡后，设计低成本珊瑚苗圃，赢得渔民支持，在暴风雨摧毁苗圃后没有放弃而是筹集资金重建，最终使珊瑚礁恢复并推广到邻近城镇的故事。主人公遭遇挫折仍坚持护礁，文章主要告诉我们挫折不应阻止有意义的努力。 C For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults. On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. They jog a mile to reach the site, using digging and lifting as their workout. GoodGym operates across England and Wales, with over 26,600 members participating in weekly meetings. Activities range from planting trees and clearing sidewalks to setting up beds for homeless people. Members report that committing to these projects motivates them to exercise regularly. “I go to the normal gym usually and I do other sorts of exercise, but this is my fixed once-a-week run with the GoodGym group,” said Jason Kurtis, 42, who was among the regulars working in the south London garden. “It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter.” The idea began in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley, missing team sports and disliking gyms, started running to deliver a newspaper to an older neighbor. He began organizing group runs to help with local projects, and GoodGym grew into a registered charity. The model proved popular, expanding to numerous cities as it addressed both community needs and individuals’ desire for purposeful exercise. Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. These findings could help shape future public health policies. GoodGym removes typical barriers to exercise: there is no required fee or pressure to attend. As Gormley says, it’s a simple way to get involved — people can join a session with little commitment. By turning community service into a workout, GoodGym makes fitness socially meaningful and accessible to all. 28. What do GoodGym volunteers do on the cold evening in London? A. Sell tickets for community events. B. Run on treadmills for a long time. C. Do garden work on the rooftop. D. Build new houses for the homeless. 29. What is Jason Kurtis’ attitude towards GoodGym? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Critical. 30. What can we learn from the research? A. Combined activities bring more benefits. B. Exercise alone greatly reduces loneliness. C. Playing games boosts life satisfaction. D. Public health policies have been changed. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new fitness model. B. To advertise traditional gym services. C. To compare exercise and volunteering. D. To explain ways to improve mental health. 【答案】28. C29. B30. A31. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍英国公益组织GoodGym，将健身与社区志愿结合，介绍运作、起源以及身心方面的多重益处。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. (在伦敦一个寒冷的夜晚，一群穿着跑步服、戴着头灯的人在一处屋顶社区花园里愉快劳作。)”可知，志愿者在屋顶开展园艺工作。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter. (这真的很有趣，它督促我出门活动，尤其是隆冬时节寒冷的周一夜晚。)”可知，Jason Kurtis认为GoodGym的活动很有趣，还能促使他在寒冷冬天的周一晚上出门锻炼，由此可推断，他对GoodGym持支持、赞许的态度。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. (由伦敦政治经济学院牵头的研究表明，志愿服务搭配运动或许能进一步改善心理健康。一项针对3600名现有及潜在参与者的研究发现，相较于单独开展任一活动，二者结合能更好缓解孤独感、提升生活满意度与社交联结。)”可知，两项活动结合能带来更多好处。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults. ( 对于想要替代传统健身房的人群，英国一家机构将体育运动与志愿工作相结合，打造出一种富有意义的健身方式。GoodGym倡导人们“行善强身”，用园艺劳作、清理垃圾、帮扶老人这类实际工作取代健身房的跑步机与举重器械。)”可知，文章通篇介绍这种新式健身模式的相关内容，写作目的是介绍新型健身模式。 D “Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation where an estimated 42% of GDP and 70% of employment rely on nature-dependent sectors like tourism and agriculture. It also warns against biodiversity loss — a major threat to Kenyan communities. Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. In response, the country has developed an innovative approach that integrates science, policy, and business while empowering local communities. These efforts offer a valuable example for other nations globally. Kenya is currently updating its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to fit the global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The GBF sets ambitious 2030 targets to conserve ecosystems, address biodiversity loss, and integrate nature into economic planning. With only four years left until the deadline, countries must ensure their NBSAPs are practical and effective. “Updating an NBSAP is complex,” says Doreen Robinson of UNEP. “But the real test is uniting government and society to turn policy into action. Kenya has created a mechanism to achieve exactly that.” This mechanism is Kenya’s National Biodiversity Coordination Mechanism (NBCM). Launched in August 2024 and led by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, it moves beyond treating biodiversity as a single ministry’s concern. Instead, it promotes a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” approach. The NBCM brings together ministries, county governments, civil society, Indigenous communities, youth, researchers, and the private sector onto one platform. It matches national goals with global frameworks, enables cross-sector collaboration, empowers non-state actors to contribute solutions, and improves monitoring through more consistent information systems. This inclusive model is gaining international attention as a best practice for operationalizing broad collaboration in conservation. It is also delivering tangible results. Kenya recently announced that its elephant population has grown to over 36,000 after decades of decline. The population of critically endangered black rhinos — nearly 80% of East Africa’s total — has also risen to over 850. By coordinating action across society, Kenya is working to ensure that the earth “loaned by its children” is preserved for generations to come. 32. What is the function of the Kenyan saying in paragraph 1? A. To offer a solution to poverty. B. To stress the importance of tourism. C. To show cultural charm of Kenya. D. To introduce the topic of the text. 33. What problem has Kenya faced? A. Failure of policy-making. B. Weak global cooperation mechanism. C. Significant decline in species. D. Poor monitoring of information systems. 34. What does the underlined word “tangible” probably mean? A. Unclear and unnoticeable. B. Practical and observable. C. Complex and unachievable. D. Imaginary and unrealistic. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Global Targets for Ecosystem Protection B. The Importance of Nature-dependent Sectors C. The Growth of Elephant Population in Kenya D. Kenya’s Efforts in Biodiversity Conservation 【答案】32. D33. C34. B35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章由肯尼亚谚语引出生态保护话题，介绍肯尼亚因多种因素遭遇物种锐减，该国出台相关方案与协调机制保护生物多样性，并取得了野生动物数量回升的实际成效。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation(“善待地球；它不是你的父母给你的，而是你的孩子借给你的。”这种智慧反映了一个国家的关键现实)”以及“It also warns against biodiversity loss—a major threat to Kenyan communities.(它还对生物多样性的丧失提出了警告——这是肯尼亚社区面临的一个主要威胁。)”可知，肯尼亚谚语是为了引出文章关于生物多样性保护的话题。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. (与世界许多地方一样，肯尼亚也因人口增长、栖息地破坏和气候变化而面临物种显著减少。)”可知，肯尼亚面临物种显著减少的问题。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“It is also delivering tangible results. Kenya recently announced that its elephant population has grown to over 36,000 after decades of decline. The population of critically endangered black rhinos — nearly 80% of East Africa’s total — has also risen to over 850.(它也带来了“tangible”的成果。肯尼亚最近宣布，在经历了几十年的下降之后，该国的大象数量已经增长到36000多头。极度濒危的黑犀牛数量——几乎占东非总数的80%——也上升到850多头。)”可知，后文列举看得见的实际成果，可推知“tangible”表示“切实可见的”。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了肯尼亚为应对生物多样性丧失而采取的创新措施，包括建立国家生物多样性协调机制 (NBCM)，并取得了实际成效。因此最佳标题为“Kenya‘s Efforts in Biodiversity Conservation(肯尼亚在生物多样性保护方面的努力)”。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones. The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ____36____ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home. After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ____37____ This houseplant grows well in either. While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ____38____ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth. ____39____ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms. Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ____40____ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time. A. Place the lower parts in soil or water. B. Then, position the plants closer to light. C. Do so twice a year during the growing season. D. Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients. E. Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant. F. Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best. G. Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off. 【答案】36. D37. A38. E39. B40. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了让绿萝长得茂密旺盛的多种养护方法，包括换盆、修剪扦插、合理浇水、充足光照以及科学施肥等实用技巧。 【36题详解】 根据前文“The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home.(想要绿萝长得更快，第一步就是给它换一个更大的生长环境)”可知，本段围绕更换花盆展开，D选项“Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.(换盆能够让绿萝获得更多生长空间和养分)”承接上文，解释换盆的作用，符合语境。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems.(先剪掉扦插枝条下方的叶子，只在茎干上保留一两片叶子)”以及后文“This houseplant grows well in either.(这种植物在两种环境中都能良好生长)”可知，此处介绍扦插的操作步骤，A 选项“Place the lower parts in soil or water.(将枝条下端放入土壤或水中)”承接扦插操作，同时对应后文两种生长环境，衔接自然。 【38题详解】 根据前文“While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering.(修剪、换盆这类大调整有助于绿萝长势茂密，浇水这类细节养护同样重要)”以及后文“Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water.(养成固定浇水习惯，浇水前先用手指检测土壤湿度)”可知，本段介绍合理浇水的方法，E选项“Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.(叶片发黄、发枯以及土壤干燥都说明植物缺水)”承接上下文，讲解缺水的判断依据，符合语境。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth.(绿萝适宜在室内明亮的散射光环境中健康生长)”可知，本段核心讲述光照对绿萝生长的重要性，B选项“Then, position the plants closer to light.(然后，将植株摆放至靠近光照的位置)”为本段总起句，引出光照养护的内容，符合语境。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth.(一定要严格按照说明给绿萝施肥，适量肥料可以促进植株健康生长)”可知，前文提及施肥的注意事项，C选项“Do so twice a year during the growing season.(在生长旺季，每年进行两次施肥即可)”承接上文，补充施肥的频率，与后文施肥带来的良好效果相呼应。 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分70分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My 21-year-old son, Christopher, is about the size of a six-year-old and has the mind of a young child.

Not the casual “don’t look down” kind of fear, but a shaking, sweaty-palmed terror that made her avoid escalators if possible. So when her outdoor education teacher announced a rock-climbing final exam, she felt sick. “You can choose to rappel (绕绳下降) down a 15-meter wall or climb up,” said Mr. Chen. “Either way, you must reach the top or bottom safely.” Maya knew she could not climb up. Just looking at the wall made her knees weak. Rappelling meant leaning backward over the edge, trusting the rope completely. That was even worse. Her best friend, Zoe, squeezed her hand. “I’ll go first,” Zoe whispered. She climbed up easily, waved, and rappelled down with a grin. “It’s like flying!” she called. Maya’s turn came. She stood at the top platform, harness (安全带) fastened, rope threaded. Below, the ground looked miles away. Her breath came in short gasps. “You can do this,” Mr. Chen said quietly. “The rope will hold. I will hold it.” Maya closed her eyes. The wind felt cold on her face. She thought of all the times fear had stopped her: the ski trip she skipped, the treehouse she never climbed. She thought of her grandmother’s words: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.” She opened her eyes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She took a shaky step backward, her heels touching the edge. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When her feet finally touched the ground, Zoe ran to hug her. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： She took a shaky step backward, her heels touching the edge. Her heart pounded so hard that she thought it might burst. Below, the ground seemed impossibly far. One step, she told herself. Just one. She leaned back slightly, feeling the rope tighten. Her palms were sweating through the gloves. Then, she heard Zoe’s voice from below: “You’ve got this, Maya!” She took another breath, then another step backward. Suddenly, her feet left the wall. For a terrifying second, she was suspended mid-air. But the rope held. Mr. Chen was right. She began to walk down the wall, her legs still shaking but her mind strangely calm. When her feet finally touched the ground, Zoe ran to hug her. “You did it!” she screamed. Maya’s legs gave way, and she sat on the dirt, laughing and crying at the same time. Mr. Chen patted her shoulder. “That took real courage,” he said. Looking up at the wall she had just descended, Maya realized her grandmother was right. The fear hadn’t disappeared, but she had chosen to act anyway. From that day on, she never let fear decide for her again. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了恐高的玛雅面临攀岩考核，内心极度胆怯，想起祖母关于勇气的话语后，决心克服内心恐惧、直面挑战的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写玛雅鼓足勇气向后迈步，过程满心紧张，在好友鼓励下尝试绕绳下降，悬空后稳住心神慢慢下落。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写玛雅成功后的心情，老师的赞美以及玛雅的感悟。 2.段落续写：感到紧张——朋友鼓励——稳住心神慢慢下落——成功通过考核——感到喜悦——老师赞美——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：shake/shiver ②意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①冷静的：calm/sober ②害怕：fear/dread 【点睛】[高分句型1]She began to walk down the wall, her legs still shaking but her mind strangely calm.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2]Looking up at the wall she had just descended, Maya realized her grandmother was right.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，省略了that/which的定语从句she had just descended，省略了that的宾语从句her grandmother was right.） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 唐山市高二英语期末模拟试题一 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Led by Dr. Maria Santos, the project aims to identify areas with the highest carbon density, helping conservationists prioritize protection efforts. “We’ve already discovered that some untouched areas store three times more carbon than previously estimated,” says Santos. The data is shared freely with local communities and policymakers, encouraging sustainable land-use practices. The project, funded by a global environmental foundation, has trained over 200 local students in drone piloting and data analysis. 21. What is the main purpose of the project? A. To train local scientists. B. To measure carbon storage in forests. C. To replace traditional conservation methods. D. To protect the Amazon from wildfires. 22. How does the project benefit local communities? A. By providing free drones. B. By offering job opportunities. C. By sharing data and training youth. D. By funding environmental lawsuits. 23. What can be inferred about the project’s impact? A. It mainly serves academic purposes. B. It has changed local land-use policies. C. It underestimates the forest’s carbon storage. D. It promotes cooperation between scientists and locals. B When 17-year-old Elara discovered that her coastal town’s coral reefs were dying due to rising sea temperatures, she didn’t just write a report — she started a movement. With guidancefrom marine biologists, she designed low-cost “coral nurseries” using recycled materials. Local fishermen, initially skeptical, joined her after seeing fish populations return. However, a sudden storm destroyed many nurseries. Instead of giving up Elara raised funds online to rebuild them stronger. Within two years, the reef showed signs of recovery, and her model was adopted by five neighboring towns. “Courage isn’t the absence of fear,” she says, “but the decision that something else is more important.” 24. What caused the initial damage to the coral reefs? A. Overfishing by local fishermen. B. Pollution from nearby factories. C. Rising ocean temperatures. D. A sudden destructive storm. 25. How did Elara change the fishermen’s attitude? A. By offering them paid jobs. B. By showing visible ecological improvement. C. By threatening legal action. D. By partnering with marine biologists. 26. What did Elara do after the storm destroyed the nurseries? A. She gave up the project. B. She asked the government for help. C. She moved the nurseries to another town. D. She collected donations online to rebuild. 27. What does Elara’s story mainly teach us? A. Setbacks should not stop meaningful efforts. B. Environmental action requires advanced technology. C. Fear is a sign of weakness. D. Only adults can lead successful movements. C For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults. On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. They jog a mile to reach the site, using digging and lifting as their workout. GoodGym operates across England and Wales, with over 26,600 members participating in weekly meetings. Activities range from planting trees and clearing sidewalks to setting up beds for homeless people. Members report that committing to these projects motivates them to exercise regularly. “I go to the normal gym usually and I do other sorts of exercise, but this is my fixed once-a-week run with the GoodGym group,” said Jason Kurtis, 42, who was among the regulars working in the south London garden. “It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter.” The idea began in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley, missing team sports and disliking gyms, started running to deliver a newspaper to an older neighbor. He began organizing group runs to help with local projects, and GoodGym grew into a registered charity. The model proved popular, expanding to numerous cities as it addressed both community needs and individuals’ desire for purposeful exercise. Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. These findings could help shape future public health policies. GoodGym removes typical barriers to exercise: there is no required fee or pressure to attend. As Gormley says, it’s a simple way to get involved — people can join a session with little commitment. By turning community service into a workout, GoodGym makes fitness socially meaningful and accessible to all. 28. What do GoodGym volunteers do on the cold evening in London? A. Sell tickets for community events. B. Run on treadmills for a long time. C. Do garden work on the rooftop. D. Build new houses for the homeless. 29. What is Jason Kurtis’ attitude towards GoodGym? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Critical. 30. What can we learn from the research? A. Combined activities bring more benefits. B. Exercise alone greatly reduces loneliness. C. Playing games boosts life satisfaction. D. Public health policies have been changed. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new fitness model. B. To advertise traditional gym services. C. To compare exercise and volunteering. D. To explain ways to improve mental health. D “Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation where an estimated 42% of GDP and 70% of employment rely on nature-dependent sectors like tourism and agriculture. It also warns against biodiversity loss — a major threat to Kenyan communities. Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. In response, the country has developed an innovative approach that integrates science, policy, and business while empowering local communities. These efforts offer a valuable example for other nations globally. Kenya is currently updating its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to fit the global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The GBF sets ambitious 2030 targets to conserve ecosystems, address biodiversity loss, and integrate nature into economic planning. With only four years left until the deadline, countries must ensure their NBSAPs are practical and effective. “Updating an NBSAP is complex,” says Doreen Robinson of UNEP. “But the real test is uniting government and society to turn policy into action. Kenya has created a mechanism to achieve exactly that.” This mechanism is Kenya’s National Biodiversity Coordination Mechanism (NBCM). Launched in August 2024 and led by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, it moves beyond treating biodiversity as a single ministry’s concern. Instead, it promotes a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” approach. The NBCM brings together ministries, county governments, civil society, Indigenous communities, youth, researchers, and the private sector onto one platform. It matches national goals with global frameworks, enables cross-sector collaboration, empowers non-state actors to contribute solutions, and improves monitoring through more consistent information systems. This inclusive model is gaining international attention as a best practice for operationalizing broad collaboration in conservation. It is also delivering tangible results. Kenya recently announced that its elephant population has grown to over 36,000 after decades of decline. The population of critically endangered black rhinos — nearly 80% of East Africa’s total — has also risen to over 850. By coordinating action across society, Kenya is working to ensure that the earth “loaned by its children” is preserved for generations to come. 32.

They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones. The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ____36____ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home. After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ___37____ This houseplant grows well in either. While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ____38____ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth. ____39____ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms. Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ____40____ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time. A. Place the lower parts in soil or water. B. Then, position the plants closer to light. C. Do so twice a year during the growing season. D. Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients. E. Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant. F. Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best. G. Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分70分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My 21-year-old son, Christopher, is about the size of a six-year-old and has the mind of a young child.

Not the casual “don’t look down” kind of fear, but a shaking, sweaty-palmed terror that made her avoid escalators if possible. So when her outdoor education teacher announced a rock-climbing final exam, she felt sick. “You can choose to rappel (绕绳下降) down a 15-meter wall or climb up,” said Mr. Chen. “Either way, you must reach the top or bottom safely.” Maya knew she could not climb up. Just looking at the wall made her knees weak. Rappelling meant leaning backward over the edge, trusting the rope completely. That was even worse. Her best friend, Zoe, squeezed her hand. “I’ll go first,” Zoe whispered. She climbed up easily, waved, and rappelled down with a grin. “It’s like flying!” she called. Maya’s turn came. She stood at the top platform, harness (安全带) fastened, rope threaded. Below, the ground looked miles away. Her breath came in short gasps. “You can do this,” Mr. Chen said quietly. “The rope will hold. I will hold it.” Maya closed her eyes. The wind felt cold on her face. She thought of all the times fear had stopped her: the ski trip she skipped, the treehouse she never climbed. She thought of her grandmother’s words: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.” She opened her eyes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She took a shaky step backward, her heels touching the edge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When her feet finally touched the ground, Zoe ran to hug her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
