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
How High-Rises Shaped Modern Britain
Eyesores and dangerously unsafe? Or ideal housing for the working classes? Holly Smith tells the stories behind some of the UK’s most revolutionary homes — buildings that have deeply shaped modern Britain, mixing novelty, success and painful debate.
Kensal House (1936, west London)
Co-designed by Maxwell Fry and Elizabeth Denby, it was intended for working-class families between the two World Wars, when modernist homes for the rich were already popular. It offered bright, spacious flats with private balconies, labour-saving kitchens and public gardens. Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before.
Ronan Point (1968, east London)
This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today.
Trellick Tower (1972, west London)
In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully.
Cascades (1988, east London)
This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success.
21. What can we learn about Ronan Point from the text?
A. Its structural faults led to a tragic accident.
B. Its construction featured sustainable materials.
C. Its design targeted luxury housing for the rich.
D. Its failure helped completely address similar faults.
22. What do Kensal House and Trellick Tower have in common?
A. They served as ideal examples.
B. They provided private gardens.
C. They were built with top materials.
D. They were under strict management.
23. How does Cascades reflect the evolution of British high-rises?
A. Postmodern designs replaced modernist ones.
B. Luxury facilities became standard for high-rises.
C. They shifted from public housing to private luxury.
D. Postmodernism became the mainstream design style.
【答案】21. A 22. A 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国四座具有代表性的高层建筑,讲述了它们的建造背景、设计特点、社会影响及争议,展现了高层建筑如何深刻塑造现代英国。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Ronan Point部分“This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today. (这座建造质量差的塔楼在开放两个月后就倒塌了:18楼的一个小煤气泄漏摧毁了整侧楼,造成5人死亡,17人受伤。它的混凝土板在没有坚固内部框架的情况下堆叠起来,其接缝甚至用旧水泥袋和皱巴巴的报纸填充。公众的震惊暴露了高层建筑中普遍存在的结构缺陷,尽管如今仍有数百座这样的建筑缺乏适当的加固。)”可知,Ronan Point的结构缺陷导致了悲剧事故。故选A项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Kensal House部分“Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before. (由居民严格管理,这是一种开创性的模式,后来启发了成千上万的住宅区——与人们以前不得不居住的黑暗、拥挤和贫困地区完全不同)”和Trellick Tower部分“In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully. (与之形成鲜明对比的是,这座高层建筑是匈牙利建筑师ErnöGoldfinger的杰作。它使用了大理石大厅和彩色玻璃等顶级材料,因为设计师认为高层建筑可以“为花园腾出空间”,并为公共住房设定高标准——将房屋从简单的庇护所变成人们可以充分表达生活的空间)”可知,肯萨尔大楼是开创性的典范,特雷利克塔是建筑杰作、为公共住房树立了高标准,二者的共同点是都成为了理想范例。故选A项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Cascades部分“This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success. (这座华丽的后现代塔楼矗立在泰晤士河畔,融合了远洋客轮的优雅和旧仓库的坚固,同时从当地的海洋历史中汲取灵感。它被称为“雅皮士塔”,是这里第一座私人豪华高层建筑,配有游泳池和健身房。它制造了一个明显的矛盾:社会福利性高层住宅被视为贫穷的象征,而新的豪华高层住宅则代表成功。)”可知,此前英国高层建筑多为面向工薪阶层的社会住房,而卡斯卡德大楼是首个私人豪华高层建筑,反映出英国高层建筑从公共住房向私人豪华住房的转变。故选C项。
B
Sent through the washing. Eaten by insects. Bitten by a dog. These are just some of the ways that books can be damaged, as seen on a recent afternoon at the Weissman Preservation Center.
Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time.
Conservators play a vital role in this process. Their work — repairing torn manuscripts (手稿), reducing insect damage, and so on — ensures the survival of texts from the ancient to the present. At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future. “Harvard Library not only has remarkable materials gathered over generations but also expert staff who allow students to experience these treasures up close and from new views,” said Blair, a professor in the History Department.
As students handled the papers, ink and paints before them, they studied the evidence manuscripts offer researchers and the complexities of preservation. “What happens when the original material is no longer available?” one student asked. “Any treatment we apply must not harm the object and can be restored,” explained Eliza, Senior Paper Conservator. “We always respect the integrity of the materials and only make changes that can be reversed, which is important in our conservation standards.”
The class concluded with a close-looking exercise. Using angle lights and pocket microscopes, students examined manuscripts on the table, amazed at iridescent (泛着虹彩的) inks of the pages. One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career.”
24. What is the “Texts in Transition” course intended to do?
A. Teach literary writing.
B. Train paper conservators.
C. Observe ancient books.
D. Explore the survival of old texts.
25. What is special about the Weissman Preservation Center?
A. It mainly centers on repairable treasures.
B. It relies on support from Harvard Library.
C. It houses the largest ancient book collection.
D. It allows a thorough look at the preservation process.
26. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Changed back. B. Recreated.
C. Turned over. D. Polished.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The course inspired career interest.
B. New techniques were used in repairs.
C. Texts were restored with special inks.
D. Students improved photographic skills.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哈佛大学一门名为“Texts in Transition”的课程,学生们通过参观Weissman保护中心,亲身体验了古籍保护的过程,并了解了保护工作的重要性和复杂性。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time.(“Texts in Transition”是Ann Blair教授和Leah Whittington教授教授的一门通识教育课程,学生们正在参观Weissman保护中心,亲眼见证保护工作。他们的课程探索书面作品是如何随着时间的推移而传承下来的。)”可知,这门课程的目的是探索旧文本的生存。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future.(在Weissman保护中心,学生们了解到当保护者介入以保持材料可用并为其未来保存时,幕后发生了什么。)”可知,Weissman保护中心的特别之处在于它允许对保护过程进行彻底的了解。故选D。

Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
28. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It is common among ordinary people.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It controls sports training routines.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
29. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They reveal connections between habits and health.
C. They offer separate and independent data points.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
30. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines. B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Mental pressure from chasing numbers. D. Physical injuries from training too hard.
31. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Abandon fitness tracking devices. B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Listen to your physical signals. D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. C

The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers.(运动营养师Jess McGregor警告说,期望“像运动员一样训练”可能会让普通人走向完美主义和焦虑。想要改善一切——睡眠分数、准备程度评分、日常压力——的冲动可能会让生活围绕着数字)”可知,Jess McGregor担心追求数字带来的心理压力。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. (也许这就是隐藏在所有数据背后的无声提醒。“当数字开始遮蔽我们的生活,手腕上的手表可能会让我们忘记身体更微妙的信号,”Zachary Walston博士说。)”可知,Zachary Walston博士说不要让数字遮蔽我们的生活,不要忘记身体发出的更微妙的信号,建议人们倾听身体的信号。

Secret codes (密码) once thought impossible to crack now face a challenge from quantum computers. Luckily, to protect information, physicists have developed a theoretically foolproof system called device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) , which uses entangled quantum particles (纠缠态量子粒子) to fix weak points in existing methods. Now, a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions, an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted.
Most cryptography (密码学) works by encrypting messages with a secret code that requires a special key to decode. The challenge lies in making sure the key can’t be decoded when sent. For instance, the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers, which take enormous effort to crack. But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.
DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it.
In 2022, a UK-based team managed to create and share a DI-QKD key for only about 2 meters. Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances. After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers. Pan’s group now plans to explore ways to perform DI-QKD using satellites in space.
32. What is the advance made by Chinese scientists?
A. They put forward a coding theory.
B. They enhanced DI-QKD practicality.
C. They set up the quantum internet.
D. They discovered quantum entanglement.
33. The author explains the encryption principle by __________.
A. providing a definition B. making a comparison
C. giving an example D. citing a statement
34. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. What entanglement is.
B. How DI-QKD works.
C. What prevents key sharing.
D. How particles connect.
35. What is the limitation implied in the last paragraph?
A. Long data collection time.
B. Strict laboratory conditions.
C. Unstable entangled particles.
D. Heavy reliance on satellites.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】

But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.( 例如,一种流行的加密方案中的密钥基于大数字的质因数,破解这些密钥需要耗费巨大的努力。但对大型量子计算机来说,这些计算将是轻而易举的事情。量子密钥分发(QKD)提供了解决方案,但它有一个弱点:硬件必须完美无缺)”可推知,作者通过给出例子来解释加密原理。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it.( DI-QKD 通过利用量子力学的另一个特性——纠缠,消除了对硬件的信任需求。纠缠使相距很远的量子粒子的特性紧密相连。如果发送方和接收方在网络中对一对粒子进行纠缠操作,那么他们各自都可以进行测试,以证实这些粒子的特性之间存在着极强的关联,这种关联远远超出了偶然的可能性。完成这一“握手”之后,他们就能确定自己是这条通道上唯一的参与者。然后,对纠缠粒子进行的其他测量可以建立一个密钥,这个密钥可以放心地与他人分享,因为没有人能够破解它)”可知,第三段的主旨是DI-QKD 如何利用量子纠缠、如何完成“握手”、如何建立密钥,完整说明 DI-QKD 的工作流程。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers.( 经过 26 天的数据收集,他们展示了他们拥有足够的统计数据来建立并分享跨越11公里的密钥。研究人员还表明,在理论上——并且假设数据收集需要约23年的时间——他们能够将密钥发送到100公里之外)”可推知,数据收集时间过长是当前局限。故选A项。
第二节(共5个小题;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。
I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____36____ I started each day tense and anxious.So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays.
Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine. But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____37____ That had never happened before.
Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____38____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.
____39____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.
By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____40____Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds.
A. But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried.
B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.
C. Some mornings were more reflective than active.
D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone.
E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time.
F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.
G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety.
【答案】36. A 37. E 38. B 39. C 40. F
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过一周不用手机的晨间实验,摆脱刷屏成瘾,发现更平静、清醒的早晨带来的积极改变。
【36题详解】
上文“Doomscrolling had become my morning routine.(刷屏成瘾已成为我的晨间惯例)” 描述了作者刷手机的习惯;下文“I started each day tense and anxious.(我每天以紧张焦虑的状态开始)”说明了刷屏带来的负面后果;下文“So I gave myself a quiet dare...(所以我给自己设了一个挑战……)”说明作者决定采取行动改变。A选项“ But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried.(但最近,我注意到了它带来的弊端)”的“But”制造转折,引出问题;“disadvantage”引出下文“tense and anxious”这一具体弊端,符合上下文逻辑。
【37题详解】
上文“But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier.(但读了几页之后,我发现自己实际上放松了——不是刷屏的那种空虚,而是更沉稳的感觉)”描述了作者在早晨读书后体验到的一种平静稳定的感受;下文“That had never happened before.(那以前从未发生过)”说明这种放松的体验是前所未有的,与之前刷手机的状态形成对比。 E选项“ I even finished a chapter before checking the time.(我甚至在查看时间之前就读完了一章)”具体说明了读书带来的专注状态——沉浸到忘记看时间,这正好印证了上文“something steadier”的稳定感,同时也为下文“这从未发生过”提供了具体的证据——以前刷手机时从未有过如此专注和沉浸的体验,符合上下文逻辑。
【38题详解】
上文“The shock factor was incredibly effective.(冷水带来的冲击感极其有效)”描述了冷水澡带来的强烈清醒效果;下文“On Wednesday, I went for a run.(周三,我去跑步了)”说明作者尝试了另一种晨间活动——跑步。 B选项“This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.(这之后让我的大脑出奇地清醒)”承接了上文“冷水澡非常有效”的描述,具体解释了“有效”体现在何处——清醒,同时为下文“周三去跑步”提供了过渡,即冷水澡的成功体验激励他继续尝试其他晨间活动,与后文“周三尝试跑步”形成并列递进关系,符合上下文逻辑。
【39题详解】
上文“On Wednesday, I went for a run.(周三,我去跑步了)”说明作者在周三早晨尝试的活动;下文“On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.(周四,我写下了日记。没有读者,只有思绪在纸上流淌。感觉很真实,尽管并不特别激动。周五,我重读了一封旧信,让回忆重新浮现。那是一段安静、平淡却令人安心的时光)”描述了周四、周五的活动——写日记和重读旧信。 C选项“Some mornings were more reflective than active.(有些早晨更偏重反思而非活动)”精准承上启下:周一的阅读、周二的冷水澡、周三的跑步属于“active”的活动,而周四的日记、周五的重读旧信属于“reflective”的反思性活动,符合上下文逻辑。
【40题详解】
上文“By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened.(到了周末,查看手机的冲动已经减弱了)”描述了经过一周实践后,作者对手机的依赖有所减轻;下文“Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths.(那些不用手机的早晨证明了开始一个更安静的早晨是可能的:没有噪音或半真半假的信息)”总结了这一周实验的收获和意义。 F选项“That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.(那意味着我停止了醒来时拿手机的行为)”进一步解释了“urge weakened(冲动减弱)”的具体表现——即“不再拿手机”,同时自然地引出下文的结论“开始一个更安静的早晨是可能的”,形成了从行为改变到认知改变的递进关系,符合上下文逻辑。

【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了乔进双梅致力于复兴彝族刺绣,通过成立合作社、创新设计并克服初期困难,最终帮助多名彝族妇女实现居家就业的故事。
【56题详解】
考查独立主格结构。句意:她从小就受到母亲的训练,是传统盘扣绣的大师——同时使用两根针,一根绕线,另一根固定,从而形成凸起的立体效果。结合空后的平行结构“the other anchoring it”可知,空处和one搭配,构成独立主格结构,作状语,说明其中一根针的作用,wind“缠绕”和逻辑主语one是主动关系,因此用wind的现在分词形式。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她注意到当地许多彝族妇女厌倦了被限制在家务琐事中,工作机会极少。空处作介词of的宾语,limit“限制”和many Yi ethnic women逻辑上是被动关系,因此用limit的动名词被动式。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在当地政府和妇联的支持下,乔进成立了一个合作社,通过这个合作社她承诺收购她们绣制的每一件作品。空处和空前的through搭配,形成“介词+关系代词”的结构,引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词a cooperative作补充说明,先行词指物,作宾语,因此应用关系代词which。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是一个勇敢的承诺。此处首次提到该承诺,表示泛指,意为“一个勇敢的承诺”,应用不定冠词,且courageous的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:早些年,她收集的作品只有大约30%通过她在县城租的一个小店铺售出,其余70%悲惨地堆积在她家中,但乔进没有被这样严峻的数据打败,以坚定不移的决心继续前行。此处用了with的复合结构,空处作宾语补足语,pile up“堆积”和the remaining 70 percent逻辑上是主动关系,且pile up的行为和谓语行为一同发生,因此应用pile的现在分词形式。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:早些年,她收集的作品只有大约30%通过她在县城租的一个小店铺售出,其余70%悲惨地堆积在她家中,但乔进没有被这样严峻的数据打败,以坚定不移的决心继续前行。空处作句子的谓语,soldier on是固定短语,意为“坚持下去,顽强地继续”,结合“In the early years”可知,时态应用一般过去时,因此用soldier的过去式形式。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:得益于她的努力,乔进的合作社已帮助900多名女性在家中找到合适的就业机会。空处作修饰employment的定语,形容词suitable符合题意,意为“合适的”。

【答案】Possible Version 1
Dear Chris,
Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Between the two versions, I highly recommend the first one, “There is no Planet B.”
I prefer this design for two main reasons. Visually, the poster features a crying and sweating Earth, with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top. It vividly highlights the severe environmental crises we are facing, such as global warming and air pollution. More importantly, the slogan itself is brilliant. By cleverly playing on the phrase “Plan B”, it sends a powerful warning to the public: our planet is irreplaceable, and we have no backup home to escape to. Therefore, we must stop the destruction before it’s too late.
I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. Best of luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible Version 2
Dear Chris,
Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Both versions are fantastic, but I favor the second one, “OUR ACTIONS, OUR FUTURE.”
What makes this poster stand out is the perfect combination of its image and slogan. In terms of the image, it presents a hopeful scene where a pair of hands gently holds the Earth. On top of the globe, leafy trees and a bright sun vividly symbolize a green, sustainable future. Moreover, the slogan perfectly matches the drawing. Written entirely in bold capitals, the words create a strong impact, conveying a highly positive message that the destiny of our planet literally lies in our own hands.
I’m sure this inspiring design will shine in the contest and motivate more people to take concrete eco-friendly actions. Good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
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。
To her horror, the basket was empty.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Jane与邻居Mr. Thompson围绕鸟类的矛盾冲突为线索展开。Jane对鸟类满怀热爱,不仅每日在院子抛撒种子与鸟儿互动,还悉心救助了一只受伤的麻雀Pip。然而,邻居Mr. Thompson却对鸟儿极为厌烦,觉得它们吵闹且把院子弄得杂乱不堪。一次,Jane因外出遭遇暴风雨,回家后发现安置Pip的篮子空了,她顿时心急如焚,害怕Pip遭遇不测。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“令她惊恐的是,篮子是空的。”可知,第一段可着重描写Jane发现篮子空了之后,内心极度惊恐,进而在院子里疯狂寻找Pip,脑海中不断浮现各种Pip可能遭遇不幸的可怕场景。
②由第二段首句内容“这时,汤普森先生带着Pip出现了。”可知,第二段可描写汤普森先生讲述找到Pip的过程,Jane对汤普森先生表达感激之情,同时她对汤普森先生的看法也发生了转变。
2. 续写线索: Jane发现篮子空了——内心焦急、流泪寻找——担忧Pip遭遇危险——Mr. Thompson带着Pip出现——Mr. Thompson说明救助经过——Jane欣慰落泪、道谢——邻里关系缓和
3. 词汇激活:

A
How High-Rises Shaped Modern Britain
Eyesores and dangerously unsafe? Or ideal housing for the working classes? Holly Smith tells the stories behind some of the UK’s most revolutionary homes — buildings that have deeply shaped modern Britain, mixing novelty, success and painful debate.
Kensal House (1936, west London)
Co-designed by Maxwell Fry and Elizabeth Denby, it was intended for working-class families between the two World Wars, when modernist homes for the rich were already popular. It offered bright, spacious flats with private balconies, labour-saving kitchens and public gardens. Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before.
Ronan Point (1968, east London)
This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today.
Trellick Tower (1972, west London)
In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully.
Cascades (1988, east London)
This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success.
21. What can we learn about Ronan Point from the text?
A. Its structural faults led to a tragic accident.
B. Its construction featured sustainable materials.
C. Its design targeted luxury housing for the rich.
D. Its failure helped completely address similar faults.
22. What do Kensal House and Trellick Tower have in common?
A. They served as ideal examples.
B. They provided private gardens.
C. They were built with top materials.
D. They were under strict management.
23. How does Cascades reflect the evolution of British high-rises?
A. Postmodern designs replaced modernist ones.
B. Luxury facilities became standard for high-rises.
C. They shifted from public housing to private luxury.
D. Postmodernism became the mainstream design style.
B
Sent through the washing. Eaten by insects. Bitten by a dog. These are just some of the ways that books can be damaged, as seen on a recent afternoon at the Weissman Preservation Center.
Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time.
Conservators play a vital role in this process. Their work — repairing torn manuscripts (手稿), reducing insect damage, and so on — ensures the survival of texts from the ancient to the present. At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future. “Harvard Library not only has remarkable materials gathered over generations but also expert staff who allow students to experience these treasures up close and from new views,” said Blair, a professor in the History Department.
As students handled the papers, ink and paints before them, they studied the evidence manuscripts offer researchers and the complexities of preservation. “What happens when the original material is no longer available?” one student asked. “Any treatment we apply must not harm the object and can be restored,” explained Eliza, Senior Paper Conservator. “We always respect the integrity of the materials and only make changes that can be reversed, which is important in our conservation standards.”
The class concluded with a close-looking exercise. Using angle lights and pocket microscopes, students examined manuscripts on the table, amazed at iridescent (泛着虹彩的) inks of the pages. One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career.”
24. What is the “Texts in Transition” course intended to do?
A. Teach literary writing.
B. Train paper conservators.
C. Observe ancient books.
D. Explore the survival of old texts.
25. What is special about the Weissman Preservation Center?
A. It mainly centers on repairable treasures.
B. It relies on support from Harvard Library.
C. It houses the largest ancient book collection.
D. It allows a thorough look at the preservation process.
26. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Changed back. B. Recreated.
C. Turned over. D. Polished.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The course inspired career interest.
B. New techniques were used in repairs.
C. Texts were restored with special inks.
D. Students improved photographic skills.

Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
28. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It is common among ordinary people.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It controls sports training routines.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
29. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They reveal connections between habits and health.
C. They offer separate and independent data points.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
30. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines. B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Mental pressure from chasing numbers. D. Physical injuries from training too hard.
31. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Abandon fitness tracking devices. B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Listen to your physical signals. D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.
D
Secret codes (密码) once thought impossible to crack now face a challenge from quantum computers. Luckily, to protect information, physicists have developed a theoretically foolproof system called device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) , which uses entangled quantum particles (纠缠态量子粒子) to fix weak points in existing methods. Now, a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions, an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted.
Most cryptography (密码学) works by encrypting messages with a secret code that requires a special key to decode. The challenge lies in making sure the key can’t be decoded when sent. For instance, the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers, which take enormous effort to crack. But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.
DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it.
In 2022, a UK-based team managed to create and share a DI-QKD key for only about 2 meters. Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances. After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers. Pan’s group now plans to explore ways to perform DI-QKD using satellites in space.
32. What is the advance made by Chinese scientists?
A. They put forward a coding theory.
B. They enhanced DI-QKD practicality.
C. They set up the quantum internet.
D. They discovered quantum entanglement.
33. The author explains the encryption principle by __________.
A. providing a definition B. making a comparison
C. giving an example D. citing a statement
34. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. What entanglement is.
B. How DI-QKD works.
C. What prevents key sharing.
D. How particles connect.
35. What is the limitation implied in the last paragraph?
A. Long data collection time.
B. Strict laboratory conditions.
C. Unstable entangled particles.
D. Heavy reliance on satellites.

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。
I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____36____ I started each day tense and anxious.So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays.
Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine. But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____37____ That had never happened before.
Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____38____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.
____39____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.
By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____40____Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds.
A. But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried.
B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.
C. Some mornings were more reflective than active.
D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone.
E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time.
F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.
G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety.

I was so accustomed to ____46____ every detail about each place I visited and without that, I was exposed.
But that’s exactly why it’s so fun. Going in unprepared opens you up to ____47____. Without being glued to directions on my phone, I was ____48____ so much more of my surroundings, noticing details that would otherwise have ____49____ passed me by.
Travelling without planning has made me more _____50_____ with making decisions. I no longer _____51_____ if the view isn’t as breathtaking as in the photos — because I’m not comparing my _____52_____ to anyone else’s.
Trying to have the _____53_____ holiday is no longer the point for me; it’s about living in the present and making good _____54_____. And in an era where we can see the best of everything through our phones, it’s been totally _____55_____ to have an experience that’s entirely mine.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
