The party was great. Yesterday wasn't IT. Yes, I really enjoyed IT. The music was great and the food was excEllent. The people were interesting to be and introduced me to Laura singer. Did you meet her? I don't think so. Can you give a . description of her? She's short and thin, with dark black hair and Green eyes. He was in a blue dress yesterday. And what is he like? She's . outgoing, helpful and independent. I was deeply impressed with her kindness. She's been to new zealand and africa. really. That's so impressive. and that's not all. In january, he won the national writing competition, and next september, SHE is going to colombia university to study creative writing. I'd love to meet her. Well, we are thinking of going to the cinema tomorrow. Why not join us? Sure that d be great.
Are those necessary, or are they only bad to the animals? This is a question that causes disagreement among many animal experts. Some, we may just call them group a, believe that placing animals in the zoo does harm to them. These people think that all animals should be protected from being hunted illegally for fur or skins and left in their natural habitats, which we can call wildlife reserves. They also advise people to be educated to know more about animals in the wild. Other experts of group b think differently. They say that modern zoos are designed very closely to the natural environment. They believe that certain species, such as the panda from china and the White tiger from india, are not only protected from uncontrolled hunting and killing, but can give birth to babies under protection, and in that way, they may be saved from dying out. Okay, that's all for me. And you're expected to express eur opinions on this question. Next class.
Bill, that's a lovely painting in your living room. I'm glad you like IT. It's a Christmas gift from my son. Well, it's beautiful. Your son has very good taste.
I made a proposal for raising funds for rebuilding the temple at the meeting. Did you meet with any protests against the proposal from the rest of the committee? No, no opposite views were given.
What did you do during the fire, James. I stayed in the bathroom, covering my nose and mouth with a wet Lucy. The firefighters broke down the door and helped me out quickly.

On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.3 quake—Taiwanˈs strongest in 25 years—shook the islandˈs eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to the strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides.
When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. "But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive," said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at University of Cambridgeˈs Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. "In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters," he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.
Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies—including satellites that can see through clouds and at night—the researchers hope to enhance AIˈs landslide detection capabilities.
Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images—visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data. Radar can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use the grey scale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed.
By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确性) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, to improve both the modelˈs accuracy and its transparency.
He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. "Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法)," said Nava. "AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs."
24.What is the key value of Navaˈs AI method?
A. Ability to predict earthquakes.
B. Low cost compared to new satellites.
C. Potential to replace human responders.
D. Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data.
25.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A detailed description of how satellites operate.
B. The advantages of visual images over radar data.
C. The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data.
D. The history of using satellites for landslide detection.
26.What can we know about Navaˈs AI-powered model from paragraph 5?
A. It is still in development.
B. It has been used just once.
C. It is an alternative of satellite images.
D. Its significance has been underestimated.
27.What do Navaˈs words in the last paragraph imply?
A. The modelˈs performance is not satisfactory.
B. Developers should have more trust in the model.
C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AIˈs internal logic.
D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged.
C
Construction materials such as concrete and plastic have the potential to lock away billions of tons of carbon dioxide, according to a new study by civil engineers and earth system scientists at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and Stanford University. The study shows that combined with steps to decarbonize(脱去……的碳)the economy, storing CO2 in buildings could help the world achieve goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal of carbon sequestration is to take carbon dioxide, either from where it is being produced or from the atmosphere, change it into a stable form and store it away from the atmosphere where it cannot contribute to climate change. Proposed schemes have involved, for example, injecting carbon underground or storing it in the deep ocean. These approaches pose both practical challenges and environmental risks.
“What if, instead, we can use materials that we already produce in large quantities to store carbon?” said Van Roijen, who led the study as a graduate student at UC Davis.
Researchers found that while bio-based plastics could take up the largest amount of carbon by weight, by far the largest potential for carbon storage is in using carbonated aggregates(碳化骨料)to make concrete. Thatˈs because concrete is by far the worldˈs most popular building material: Over 20 billion tons are produced every year.
“If feasible, a little bit of storage in concrete could go a long way,” said Sabbie Miller, associate professor at UC Davis. The team calculated that if 10% of the worldˈs concrete aggregate production were carbonatable, it could absorb a gigaton(十亿吨)of CO2.
“The feedstocks for these new processes for making building materials are mostly low-value waste materials such as biomass,” Van Roijen said. “Performing these new processes would enhance their value, boosting economic development and promoting a circular economy.”
“Some technology development is needed, particularly in cases where material performance and net-storage potential of individual manufacturing methods must be confirmed. However, many of these technologies are just waiting to be adopted,” Sabbie Miller said.
28.What does the underlined word “sequestration” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Separation. B. Collection. C. Reduction. D. Production.
29.What makes concrete a better option for carbon storage?
A. Its low price. B. Its heavy weight.
C. Its common use. D. Its special function.
30.What benefit does using new building material processes bring?
A. Lower material costs.
B. Increasing the value of waste.
C. Higher concrete production.
D. No need for technology development.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Concrete and Plastic: the Emerging Stars of Carbon Storage
B. Innovations in Building Materials: Toward Net Zero Carbon
C. Decarbonization Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities
D. New Building Materials: the Potential and Prospects of Carbon Storage
D
A journey to Italy is set to become even more expensive. Last summer, the country introduced a proposal to raise the tourist tax. Currently, many Italian cities charge taxes of up to 5 euros for an overnight stay. The new plan introduces a tiered(阶梯式的)system: 5 euros per night for economy rooms under 100 euros, 10 euros for standard rooms priced between 100 and 400 euros, 15 euros for high-end rooms ranging from 400 to 750 euros and 25 euros for luxury accommodations above 750 euros.
Italy, with its rich cultural heritage and amazing coastlines, has always been a top spot for tourists. However, the increasing number of visitors is becoming overwhelming. According to the World Tourism Organization, Italy welcomed 57.2 million foreign tourists in 2023, which has led to several issues. Fortune Magazine reported loud noise, crowded spaces, important shops being replaced by souvenir stalls and rising rents driven by apartments being changed into short-term rentals(出租房).
The suggested tax aims to tackle the challenges posed by overtourism. However, some tourists are opposed to the high tax. “Increasing the tax would be profiteering(牟取暴利). I would go elsewhere, to other countries that donˈt have such a tax,” Fabea Wiegand from Switzerland told Fortune Magazine.
While introducing a tourist tax is a method used by many countries to manage tourist numbers, it is essential not to take it to extremes. The Economist emphasizes the crucial role policymakers play in determining the level of tourism tax. It is important to set a tax that is affordable for most tourists. For instance, Venice charges a day pass of only 5 euros. Despite its small amount, this fee can contribute to enhancing local services such as waste management and heritage preservation, benefiting both residents and visitors.
Even though high tax may prevent some tourists from going to certain destinations, tourism tax is “not a cause for despair” for countries, said The Economist. If tourists choose other destinations due to the tax, lesser-known areas could seize the chance to attract visitors. Meanwhile, popular destinations could adapt by promoting more affordable choices to tourists, striking a balance between localsˈ and visitorsˈ needs and promoting sustainable tourism.
32.What does the underlined word “overwhelming” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Enormous. B. Powerful. C. Frightening. D. Confusing.
33.Why did Italy consider introducing a higher tax?
A. To keep visitors from visiting Italy.
B. To increase the profits from tourism.
C. To deal with problems caused by overtourism.
D. To reduce unfair competition in the tourism industry.
34.What was Fabea Wiegandˈs attitude toward raising the tourist tax?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent.
35.What doesThe Economist think about the tourist tax?
A. It may negatively affect local services.
B. It will be harmful to sustainable tourism.
C. It will reduce the inflow of foreign visitors.
D. It may be beneficial to less popular destinations.
三、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。
Long-distance flights can feel never-ending, particularly if you donˈt get any sleep. Counting down the hours or minutes until you can finally get some relief off the plane becomes an obsession (执念). And, even if you do manage to get some rest, sitting upright can harm your neck and back. (36) Here are some tips to help you sleep better on airplanes.
(37) Colin Espie, a sleep expert, says you shouldnˈt try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, itˈs important to try and let yourself fall asleep naturally. Sleep is a natural biological process, and it is much easier to let your body naturally take over.
Choose your seat carefully. If you get the chance to select your own seat, Espie says you should be choosy when it comes to where you sit. Specifically, try to secure a seat away from busy areas on the plane, such as near the service areas where flight attendants may move around at all hours. (38)
Choose your in-flight refreshments wisely. Many frequent flyers like to bring travel snacks along, especially on long flights. However, snacks with sugar and substances like caffeine, chocolate and alcohol can all affect sleep. (39) However, alcohol can have a negative effect on sleep, even if it helps with the onset of sleep.
(40) If you come prepared in the right mindset and with the right tools, catching some Zˈs in the air may be easier than you think.
A. Keep the same sleeping schedule.
B. Arrive well-rested and donˈt try to force it.
C. Frequent travellers agree sleeping upright is no easy task.
D. You should also try to select seats with extra legroom if you can.
E. Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, which can be confusing.
F. You can use various online tools to track changes in seat availability.
G. In short, sleeping on a plane doesnˈt have to be as bad as it may seem.

58.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。
When Joyce took over Class 8 as the new head teacher at the start of the semester, she was determined to build a tidy and united class. After noticing the messy classroom—crumpled(皱的)papers on the floor, unwashed blackboards, and dusty windows—she spent a whole evening designing a detailed cleaning schedule. Every student had a specific task: ranging from wiping the blackboard after each class, emptying the trash bins(垃圾桶)twice a day, to arranging desks or sweeping the corners.
However, Joyce soon found her well-planned schedule ineffective. On the first day, only three students completed their tasks. Most others either forgot or simply ignored their duties. The classroom remained as messy as before, with food wrappers gathering up in the corners and chalk dust covering the desks. Joyce gathered the class and emphasized the importance of keeping the classroom clean together. “A tidy environment is not just for appearance,” she said seriously. “It helps us focus better on studies and keeps us healthy.” But her words seemed to fall on deaf ears. The next day, the situation didnˈt improve much.
In desperation, Joyce tried punishing the students who failed to finish their tasks—those who skipped their tasks had to clean the entire classroom alone. At first, a few students were scared and did their jobs. But soon, dissatisfaction grew. Some students deliberately made more mess, and the classroom became even worse than before. Joyce felt frustrated. She knew punishment wasnˈt the right way.
One night, as she was preparing homework for the students, an idea suddenly popped into her head. What if she used rewards instead of punishment? The next morning, Joyce announced a new rule to the class: “The three most active students in cleaning the classroom will be rewarded with small gifts like candies or stickers that day.” As soon as she finished speaking, the whole class discussed heatedly.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The first day of the new rule was full of surprises. ______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
As days went by, students no longer required rewards. ____________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】B、B、C、A
【解析】1. 听力原文:
M: Are zoos necessary, or are they only bad to the animals? This is a question that causes disagreement among many animal experts. Some, we may just call them Group A, believe that placing animals in a zoo does harm to them. These people think that all animals should be protected from being hunted illegally for fur or skins and left in their natural habitats, which we can call wildlife reserves. They also advise people to be educated to know more about animals in the wild. Other experts of Group B think differently. They say that modem zoos are designed very closely to the natural environment. They believe that certain species, such as the panda from China and the white tiger from India, are not only protected from uncontrolled hunting and killing but can give birth to babies under protection and in that way they may be saved from dying out. OK, thatˈs all from me and youˈre expected to express your opinions on this question next class.

On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.3 quake—Taiwanˈs strongest in 25 years—shook the islandˈs eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to the strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides.
When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. "But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive," said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at University of Cambridgeˈs Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. "In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters," he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.
Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies—including satellites that can see through clouds and at night—the researchers hope to enhance AIˈs landslide detection capabilities.
Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images—visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data. Radar can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use the grey scale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed.
By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确性) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, to improve both the modelˈs accuracy and its transparency.
He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. "Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法)," said Nava. "AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs."
24.What is the key value of Navaˈs AI method?
A. Ability to predict earthquakes.
B. Low cost compared to new satellites.
C. Potential to replace human responders.
D. Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data.
25.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A detailed description of how satellites operate.
B. The advantages of visual images over radar data.
C. The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data.
D. The history of using satellites for landslide detection.
26.What can we know about Navaˈs AI-powered model from paragraph 5?
A. It is still in development.
B. It has been used just once.
C. It is an alternative of satellite images.
D. Its significance has been underestimated.
27.What do Navaˈs words in the last paragraph imply?
A. The modelˈs performance is not satisfactory.
B. Developers should have more trust in the model.
C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AIˈs internal logic.
D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged.

Construction materials such as concrete and plastic have the potential to lock away billions of tons of carbon dioxide, according to a new study by civil engineers and earth system scientists at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and Stanford University. The study shows that combined with steps to decarbonize(脱去……的碳)the economy, storing CO2 in buildings could help the world achieve goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal of carbon sequestration is to take carbon dioxide, either from where it is being produced or from the atmosphere, change it into a stable form and store it away from the atmosphere where it cannot contribute to climate change. Proposed schemes have involved, for example, injecting carbon underground or storing it in the deep ocean. These approaches pose both practical challenges and environmental risks.
“What if, instead, we can use materials that we already produce in large quantities to store carbon?” said Van Roijen, who led the study as a graduate student at UC Davis.
Researchers found that while bio-based plastics could take up the largest amount of carbon by weight, by far the largest potential for carbon storage is in using carbonated aggregates(碳化骨料)to make concrete. Thatˈs because concrete is by far the worldˈs most popular building material: Over 20 billion tons are produced every year.
“If feasible, a little bit of storage in concrete could go a long way,” said Sabbie Miller, associate professor at UC Davis. The team calculated that if 10% of the worldˈs concrete aggregate production were carbonatable, it could absorb a gigaton(十亿吨)of CO2.
“The feedstocks for these new processes for making building materials are mostly low-value waste materials such as biomass,” Van Roijen said. “Performing these new processes would enhance their value, boosting economic development and promoting a circular economy.”
“Some technology development is needed, particularly in cases where material performance and net-storage potential of individual manufacturing methods must be confirmed. However, many of these technologies are just waiting to be adopted,” Sabbie Miller said.
28.What does the underlined word “sequestration” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Separation. B. Collection. C. Reduction. D. Production.
29.What makes concrete a better option for carbon storage?
A. Its low price. B. Its heavy weight.
C. Its common use. D. Its special function.
30.What benefit does using new building material processes bring?
A. Lower material costs.
B. Increasing the value of waste.
C. Higher concrete production.
D. No need for technology development.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Concrete and Plastic: the Emerging Stars of Carbon Storage
B. Innovations in Building Materials: Toward Net Zero Carbon
C. Decarbonization Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities
D. New Building Materials: the Potential and Prospects of Carbon Storage

A journey to Italy is set to become even more expensive. Last summer, the country introduced a proposal to raise the tourist tax. Currently, many Italian cities charge taxes of up to 5 euros for an overnight stay. The new plan introduces a tiered(阶梯式的)system: 5 euros per night for economy rooms under 100 euros, 10 euros for standard rooms priced between 100 and 400 euros, 15 euros for high-end rooms ranging from 400 to 750 euros and 25 euros for luxury accommodations above 750 euros.
Italy, with its rich cultural heritage and amazing coastlines, has always been a top spot for tourists. However, the increasing number of visitors is becoming overwhelming. According to the World Tourism Organization, Italy welcomed 57.2 million foreign tourists in 2023, which has led to several issues. Fortune Magazine reported loud noise, crowded spaces, important shops being replaced by souvenir stalls and rising rents driven by apartments being changed into short-term rentals(出租房).
The suggested tax aims to tackle the challenges posed by overtourism. However, some tourists are opposed to the high tax. “Increasing the tax would be profiteering(牟取暴利). I would go elsewhere, to other countries that donˈt have such a tax,” Fabea Wiegand from Switzerland told Fortune Magazine.
While introducing a tourist tax is a method used by many countries to manage tourist numbers, it is essential not to take it to extremes. The Economist emphasizes the crucial role policymakers play in determining the level of tourism tax. It is important to set a tax that is affordable for most tourists. For instance, Venice charges a day pass of only 5 euros. Despite its small amount, this fee can contribute to enhancing local services such as waste management and heritage preservation, benefiting both residents and visitors.
Even though high tax may prevent some tourists from going to certain destinations, tourism tax is “not a cause for despair” for countries, said The Economist. If tourists choose other destinations due to the tax, lesser-known areas could seize the chance to attract visitors. Meanwhile, popular destinations could adapt by promoting more affordable choices to tourists, striking a balance between localsˈ and visitorsˈ needs and promoting sustainable tourism.
32.What does the underlined word “overwhelming” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Enormous. B. Powerful. C. Frightening. D. Confusing.
33.Why did Italy consider introducing a higher tax?
A. To keep visitors from visiting Italy.
B. To increase the profits from tourism.
C. To deal with problems caused by overtourism.
D. To reduce unfair competition in the tourism industry.
34.What was Fabea Wiegandˈs attitude toward raising the tourist tax?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent.
35.What doesThe Economist think about the tourist tax?
A. It may negatively affect local services.
B. It will be harmful to sustainable tourism.
C. It will reduce the inflow of foreign visitors.
D. It may be beneficial to less popular destinations.
【答案】A、C、B、D
【解析】文章大意:意大利计划提高旅游税,采用阶梯式收费。该国因游客过多引发诸多问题,此举旨在应对过度旅游。但部分游客表示反对,认为这是在牟取暴利。文章也指出应合理设置旅游税,以推动可持续旅游。

三、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。
Long-distance flights can feel never-ending, particularly if you donˈt get any sleep. Counting down the hours or minutes until you can finally get some relief off the plane becomes an obsession (执念). And, even if you do manage to get some rest, sitting upright can harm your neck and back. (36) Here are some tips to help you sleep better on airplanes.
(37) Colin Espie, a sleep expert, says you shouldnˈt try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, itˈs important to try and let yourself fall asleep naturally. Sleep is a natural biological process, and it is much easier to let your body naturally take over.
Choose your seat carefully. If you get the chance to select your own seat, Espie says you should be choosy when it comes to where you sit. Specifically, try to secure a seat away from busy areas on the plane, such as near the service areas where flight attendants may move around at all hours. (38)
Choose your in-flight refreshments wisely. Many frequent flyers like to bring travel snacks along, especially on long flights. However, snacks with sugar and substances like caffeine, chocolate and alcohol can all affect sleep. (39) However, alcohol can have a negative effect on sleep, even if it helps with the onset of sleep.
(40) If you come prepared in the right mindset and with the right tools, catching some Zˈs in the air may be easier than you think.
A. Keep the same sleeping schedule.
B. Arrive well-rested and donˈt try to force it.
C. Frequent travellers agree sleeping upright is no easy task.
D. You should also try to select seats with extra legroom if you can.
E. Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, which can be confusing.
F. You can use various online tools to track changes in seat availability.
G. In short, sleeping on a plane doesnˈt have to be as bad as it may seem.

【解析】略
1.
前文“Long-distance flights can feel never-ending, particularly if you donˈt get any sleep. Counting down the hours or minutes until you can finally get some relief off the plane becomes an obsession (执念). And, even if you do manage to get some rest, sitting upright can harm your neck and back.”描述了长途飞行时睡眠不好的感受以及直坐对身体的伤害,C项(经常旅行的人都认为直立睡觉不是一件容易的事。)与上文内容紧密相关,进一步强调了在飞机上直坐睡觉的困难,承接上文。故选C项。
2.
设空处位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Colin Espie, a sleep expert, says you shouldnˈt try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, itˈs important to try and let yourself fall asleep naturally. Sleep is a natural biological process, and it is much easier to let your body naturally take over.”可知,本段主要讲述不要强迫自己入睡,所以B项(休息好再出发,不要强迫自己。)符合本段主题。故选B项。
3.
根据前文“ Choose your seat carefully. If you get the chance to select your own seat, Espie says you should be choosy when it comes to where you sit. Specifically, try to secure a seat away from busy areas on the plane, such as near the service areas where flight attendants may move around at all hours.”可知,本段主要讲述选择座位,所以D项(如果可以的话,你也应该尽量选择有额外伸腿空间的座位。)承接上文,继续说明选座位的注意事项,符合语境。故选D项。
4.
根据前文“However, snacks with sugar and substances like caffeine, chocolate and alcohol can all affect sleep.”以及后文“However, alcohol can have a negative effect on sleep, even if it helps with the onset of sleep.”可知,前文提到酒精会影响睡眠,后文说酒精有助于入睡,它也会对睡眠产生负面影响,所以E项(酒精最初可能会帮助你入睡,这可能会让人感到困惑。)符合本段主题,并和后文构成转折关系。故选E项。
5.
根据后文“If you come prepared in the right mindset and with the right tools, catching some Zˈs in the air may be easier than you think.”可知,在空中睡觉可能比你想象的要容易,本段是对前文的总结,所以G项(简而言之,在飞机上睡觉并不像看起来那么糟糕。)对前文关于在飞机上睡觉的建议进行总结,表明在飞机上睡觉并非那么困难,引出后文关于做好准备就可以睡好的内容,承上启下。故选G项。

57.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。
When Joyce took over Class 8 as the new head teacher at the start of the semester, she was determined to build a tidy and united class. After noticing the messy classroom—crumpled(皱的)papers on the floor, unwashed blackboards, and dusty windows—she spent a whole evening designing a detailed cleaning schedule. Every student had a specific task: ranging from wiping the blackboard after each class, emptying the trash bins(垃圾桶)twice a day, to arranging desks or sweeping the corners.
However, Joyce soon found her well-planned schedule ineffective. On the first day, only three students completed their tasks. Most others either forgot or simply ignored their duties. The classroom remained as messy as before, with food wrappers gathering up in the corners and chalk dust covering the desks. Joyce gathered the class and emphasized the importance of keeping the classroom clean together. “A tidy environment is not just for appearance,” she said seriously. “It helps us focus better on studies and keeps us healthy.” But her words seemed to fall on deaf ears. The next day, the situation didnˈt improve much.
In desperation, Joyce tried punishing the students who failed to finish their tasks—those who skipped their tasks had to clean the entire classroom alone. At first, a few students were scared and did their jobs. But soon, dissatisfaction grew. Some students deliberately made more mess, and the classroom became even worse than before. Joyce felt frustrated. She knew punishment wasnˈt the right way.
One night, as she was preparing homework for the students, an idea suddenly popped into her head. What if she used rewards instead of punishment? The next morning, Joyce announced a new rule to the class: “The three most active students in cleaning the classroom will be rewarded with small gifts like candies or stickers that day.” As soon as she finished speaking, the whole class discussed heatedly.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The first day of the new rule was full of surprises. ______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
As days went by, students no longer required rewards. ____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The first day of the new rule was full of surprises. The moment the afternoon class ended, students hurried to do their cleaning tasks. Some wiped the blackboard so carefully that not a single trace of chalk dust was left, while others swept the floor repeatedly. Afterwards, the classroom looked completely different—desks were neatly arranged, and the trash bins were empty. After school, Joyce selected the three most active students, announcing that they could be provided with some sweet candies that day. Their faces lit up with joy, and the other students looked at them with envy, clearly determined to try harder tomorrow.
As days went by, students no longer required rewards. Cleaning the classroom gradually became a natural part of their daily routine. Little by little, they started helping each other voluntarily. Unlike before, those who finished wiping the blackboard would help arrange desks, and those who emptied the trash bins would assist in sweeping. The classroom stayed tidy every day, and a warm, united atmosphere filled the air. Witnessing all these changes, Joyce smiled merrily and came to the realization that positive motivation was far more effective than punishment in building a good class.

【答案】Dear Jim,
Great to hear that youˈre joining a UN initiative. I suggest you propose a global Youth for Clean Beaches campaign. Here are my reasons.
First, beach pollution is a severe issue. Plastics and waste not only ruin the beauty of beaches but also harm marine life. Each year, countless sea animals die from taking in or getting entangled in trash. Involving youth in regular beach clean-ups can effectively help reduce pollution. Whatˈs more, young people can also raise public awareness. Their passion can inspire more people to protect the ocean. The campaign could start in coastal areas and then expand worldwide.
This proposal is both practical and far-reaching. I hope it will be of some use to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
