Most buildings were undamaged due to 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 Cambridge’s 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 AI’s 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, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale 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 (准确度) 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, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度). 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 Nava’s 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 Nava’s 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 Nava’s words imply? A. The model’s performance is not satisfactory. B. Developers should have more trust in the model. C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s internal logic. D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Nava团队开发的AI方法在台湾地震后探测滑坡的应用、优势及待改进方向。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s 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.(剑桥大学地球科学系和地理系的Lorenzo Nava说：“但是用肉眼从卫星图像中绘制滑坡地图可能会耗费大量时间。”“灾难过后，时间真的很重要，”他说。利用人工智能，他在获得卫星图像后的三个小时内识别出了台湾地震后的7000处山体滑坡)”可知，Nava的AI方法的核心价值是处理大量数据时效率高。故选D项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale 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. (然而，雷达图像很难解释，因为它们使用灰度来说明对比的表面特性和景观特征也可能看起来很奇怪。这些挑战使得雷达数据非常适合人工智能辅助分析，有助于识别那些否则可能会被忽略的特征)”可知，该段主要说明需要AI解读雷达数据的原因。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“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, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (清晰度).(他在2024年台湾地震后的试验显示出了希望，发现了数千次山体滑坡，否则这些山体滑坡在云层下会被忽视。但Nava承认，要提高模型的准确性和透明度，还需要做更多的工作)”可知，Nava的AI驱动模型仍在开发中。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm,” 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.” (“通常，决策者并不是开发算法的人，”Nava说。“人工智能可能感觉像一个黑盒子。它的内部逻辑并不总是透明的，这可能会让人们在根据其输出采取行动时犹豫不决。”)”可知，Nava的话暗示开发者和使用者（决策者）之间存在认知差距，需要弥合。故选D项。 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 systems 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 leverage 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. That’s because concrete is by far the world’s 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 world’s concrete aggregate production was 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: Towards Net Zero Carbon. C. Decarbonisation Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities. D. New Building Materials: the Potential and Prospects of Carbon Storage. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了混凝土和塑料等建筑材料具有封存数十亿吨二氧化碳的潜力。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“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. (可以是从其产生的源头获取，也可以从大气中获取，然后将其转化为一种稳定的形态，并将其储存起来，使其远离大气，这样它就不会加剧气候变化。)”可知，碳封存的目标是分离二氧化碳，由此可知，sequestration意为“分离”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“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. That’s because concrete is by far the world’s most popular building material: Over 20 billion tons are produced every year. (研究人员发现，虽然生物基塑料按重量计算可以吸收最多的碳，但到目前为止，最大的碳储存潜力在于使用碳酸盐骨料制造混凝土。这是因为混凝土是目前世界上最受欢迎的建筑材料：每年产量超过200亿吨。)”可知，混凝土是更好的碳储存选择是因为它被广泛使用。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““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.” (“制造建筑材料的新工艺的原料大多是生物质等低价值废料，”范罗伊恩说。“实施这些新工艺将提高它们的价值，促进经济发展，促进循环经济。”)”可知，使用新的建筑材料工艺的好处是增加废物的价值。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“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 systems scientists at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and Stanford University. (加州大学戴维斯分校（UC Davis）和斯坦福大学的土木工程师和地球系统科学家的一项新研究表明，混凝土和塑料等建筑材料有可能封存数十亿吨二氧化碳。)”可知，文章主要介绍了混凝土和塑料等建筑材料具有封存数十亿吨二氧化碳的潜力，选项D：“新材料：碳储存的潜力和前景”符合文章主题，适合作标题。故选D项。 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 on 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 from400 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 don’t have such a tax,” Fabea Wiegan d 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 Econømist 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 Econømist. 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 locals’ and visitors’ 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 Wiegand’s attitude toward raising the tourist tax? A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent. 35. What does The 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】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。意大利之旅将变得更加昂贵。去年夏天，该国提出了一项提高旅游税的提案。文章解释了这一举措背后的原因以及人们对此的看法。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Italy, with its rich cultural heritage and amazing coastlines, has always been a top spot for tourists.(意大利拥有丰富的文化遗产和迷人的海岸线，一直是游客的首选)”；后文“According to the World Tourism Organization, Italy welcomed 57.2 million foreign tourists in 2023, which has led to several issues.(根据世界旅游组织的数据，意大利在2023年接待了5720万外国游客，这导致了几个问题)”以及however表示转折，可知，意大利受游客欢迎，因为游客数量变得越来越巨大，所以导致了一些问题。故划线词意思是“巨大的”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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).(根据世界旅游组织的数据，意大利在2023年接待了5720万外国游客，这导致了几个问题。《财富》杂志报道说，噪音大，空间拥挤，重要的商店被纪念品摊位取代，由于公寓被改成短租而导致租金上涨)”可知，意大利考虑征收更高的税收是为了解决过度旅游造成的问题。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Increasing the tax would be profiteering (牟取暴利). I would go elsewhere, to other countries that don’t have such a tax,” Fabea Wiegan d from Switzerland told Fortune Magazine.( “增税就是牟取暴利。我会去其他地方，去其他没有这种税的国家，”来自瑞士的Fabea Wiegan告诉《财富》杂志。)”可知，Fabea Wiegand对提高旅游税是不赞成的。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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.(《经济学人》表示，尽管高税收可能会阻止一些游客前往某些目的地，但对国家来说，旅游税“不是绝望的原因”。如果游客因为征税而选择其他目的地，不太知名的地区可以抓住机会吸引游客)”可知，《经济学人》认为旅游税可能对不太受欢迎的目的地有益。故选D。 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 don’t 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 shouldn’t try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, it’s 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 Zs in the air may be easier than you think. A. Keep the same sleeping schedule. B. Arrive well-rested and don’t try to force it. C. Frequent travelers 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 doesn’t have to be as bad as it may seem. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. E 40.

And, even if you do manage to get some rest, sitting upright can harm your neck and back.(长途飞行会让人感觉没完没了，尤其是在你不睡觉的情况下。倒数几小时或几分钟，直到你终于可以从飞机上放松下来，这成了一种执念。而且，即使你设法得到了一些休息，笔直坐着也会伤害你的脖子和背部)”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“Frequent travelers agree sleeping upright is no easy task.(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。 【37题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Colin Espie, a sleep expert, says you shouldn’t try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, it’s 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.(睡眠专家科林·埃斯皮说，你不应该强迫自己睡觉。尽管这似乎违反常识，但让自己自然入睡是很重要的。睡眠是一种自然的生物过程，让你的身体自然地接管会容易得多)”可知，本段主要讲述不要强迫自己入睡，所以B项“Arrive well-rested and don’t try to force it.(休息好，不要强迫自己)”符合本段主题。故选B项。 【38题详解】 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.(小心选择你的座位。埃斯皮说，如果你有机会选择自己的座位，你应该在选择座位的时候有所选择。具体来说，尽量确保座位远离飞机上的繁忙区域，比如靠近服务区域，因为空乘人员可以随时走动)”可知，本段主要讲述选择座位，所以D项“You should also try to select seats with extra legroom if you can.(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。 【39题详解】 根据前文“However, snacks with sugar and substances like caffeine, chocolate and alcohol can all affect sleep.(然而，含糖和咖啡因、巧克力和酒精等物质的零食都会影响睡眠)”以及后文“However, alcohol can have a negative effect on sleep, even if it helps with the onset of sleep.(然而，即使酒精有助于入睡，它也会对睡眠产生负面影响)”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“Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, which can be confusing.(酒精可能会帮助你入睡，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。 【40题详解】 根据后文“If you come prepared in the right mindset and with the right tools, catching some Zs in the air may be easier than you think.(如果你以正确的心态和正确的工具准备好了，在空中打个盹可能比你想象的要容易)”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“In short, sleeping on a plane doesn’t have to be as bad as it may seem.(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。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 My life used to be like every minute was rushing.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，通过讲述作者与女儿之间的生活故事，讲述了作者从“匆忙生活”到“学会慢下来”的转变过程。 【41题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我的思想被无尽的任务日程所控制。A. endless无尽的；B. limited有限的；C. minor次要的；D. finished完成的。根据上文“My life used to be like every minute was rushing.”可知作者过去的生活很忙碌，有很多任务，所以这里应该是“无尽的”任务，故选A项。 【42题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：无论我多么努力，从来没有足够的时间去赶上进度。A. work out解决；锻炼；B. cheer up振作起来；C. hang out闲逛；D. catch up赶上。根据上文“My life used to be like every minute was rushing. My thoughts were controlled by a schedule of endless tasks.”可知作者时间很紧张，有很多任务要做，所以这里应该是没有足够时间“赶上进度”，即完成那些任务，故选D项。 【43题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我急着要离开的时候，她会慢慢地挑选她的钱包。A. hesitated犹豫；B. claimed声称；C. dreamed梦想；D. rushed匆忙。根据上文“My life used to be like every minute was rushing”可知作者过去生活节奏很快，所以这里应该是“急着”离开，与下文女儿的slowly形成对比，故选D项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我需要匆匆吃一顿午饭时，她会和陌生人聊天。A. prepare准备；B. grab匆忙地做；C. deliver递送；D. select选择。根据上文“My life used to be like every minute was rushing”以及下文“a quick lunch”可知作者生活节奏快，所以这里应该是“匆忙地”吃一顿午饭，故选B项。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我对她常说的话是“快点！”A. tricky棘手的；B. unique独特的；C. constant经常的；不断的；D. magic神奇的。根据上文叙述作者忙着出门，女儿却慢慢挑选钱包，作者忙着吃饭，女儿却和陌生人聊天可知，“hurry up”是作者经常对女儿说的话，故选C项。 【46题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：她双臂交叉，恼怒地叹了口气。A. in relief如释重负地；B. with regret遗憾地；C. in annoyance恼怒地；D. with confusion困惑地。根据上文“You’re so slow”可知，女儿对作者的慢感到不满，所以这里应该是“恼怒地”叹了口气，故选C项。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：突然，我从她身上看到了我是如何一直催促她快点，以及我匆忙的生活方式是如何伤害她的。A. inspiring鼓舞；B. hurting伤害；C. moving感动；D. toughening使变坚强。根据上文“she’d slowly choose her purse”以及“You’re so slow”可知，上文说的是女儿原本是一个做事慢腾腾的人，后来在作者的影响下变成了一个抱怨作者慢的人，可推理出此处说的是作者匆忙的生活方式对女儿是一种“伤害”，故选B项。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我低声说：“对不起，我会更有耐心的。谢谢你教导了我。”A. teaching教导；B. training训练；C. defending保卫；D. comforting安慰。根据上文“Suddenly, I saw in her how I pushed her to hurry all the time”可知女儿的抱怨让作者意识到了自己的问题，所以这里应该是女儿“教导”了作者，让作者意识到要更有耐心，故选A项。 【49题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：从我的话语中去掉“快点”很容易但是培养耐心却很难。A. vision视力；视野；B. awareness意识；C. patience耐心；D. closeness亲密。根据上文“Removing “hurry up” from my speech is easy”可知上文说的是从话语中去掉“快点”很容易，可推理出这里表达的是是培养“耐心”很难，与前面去掉“快点”形成对比，故选C项。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：现在，在我们去某个地方之前，我试着给她额外的时间去准备。A. complain抱怨；B. chat聊天；C. relax放松；D. prepare准备。根据上文“give her extra time”可推理出这里应该是给女儿额外时间去“准备”，故选D项。 【51题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在户外散步时，我让她来定速度。A. goal目标；B. pace速度；C. standard标准；D. example例子。根据下文“out of my head and simply observe her”可知下文说的是从我的头脑中出去，还提到了只是观察她，可推理出此处说的是不催促女儿，让她决定速度，故选B项。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果她停下来欣赏某样东西，我会把我的日程安排从脑海中抛开，只是观察她 —— 她的微笑和她发现有趣昆虫的方式。A. buy买；B. change改变；C. recall回忆；D. admire欣赏。根据下文“her smile and the way she spotted interesting insects.”可知下文说的是她的微笑和她发现有趣昆虫的方式，由此可知此处说的是女儿停下来“欣赏”有趣的东西，故选D项。 【53题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果她停下来欣赏某样东西，我会把我的日程安排从脑海中抛开，只是观察她——她的微笑和她发现有趣昆虫的方式。A. memory记忆；B. agenda日程安排；C. promise承诺；D. doubt怀疑。根据下文“simply observe her”可推理出这里应该是把“日程安排”从脑海中抛开，即不再想着那些任务，好好享受和女儿在一起的时光，故选B项。 【54题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：她是一个“观察者”，能从微小的事情中找到快乐。A. imaginary想象的；B. boring无聊的；C. small小的；D. original原始的。根据上文“ the way she spotted interesting insects.”可推理出女儿能从发现昆虫这样的“小”事情中找到快乐，故选C项。 【55题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那些话否定了生活本身。A. deny否认；B. simplify简化；C. reveal揭示；D. waste浪费。根据上文“Now, I never say, “Hurry up.””以及下文“Pausing for simple joys is the only way to truly live.”可知“快点”这样的话让作者过去总是匆忙，作者现在认为停下来享受简单的快乐是真正生活的唯一方式，可推理出此处说的是作者认为自己没有好好享受生活，因为诸如“快点”这样的话“否认”了生活本身，故选A项。 五、语法填空：本大题共1小题，共15分。 语法填空。 My name is Svetlana and I have worked as a guide at Lake Baikal for _____56_____ to 10 years.

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 corner. 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 comers 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t 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. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 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 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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新班主任Joyce通过从惩罚到奖励的方式调整，让班级逐渐变得整洁团结的过程。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“新规则实施的第一天充满了惊喜。”可知，第一段可描写新奖励规则实施首日，学生们积极参与打扫、教室焕然一新及获奖学生的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着日子一天天过去，学生们不再需要奖励了。”可知，第二段可描写学生们逐渐养成打扫习惯、互帮互助，班级形成整洁团结氛围的变化。 2. 续写线索： 制定清洁表无效—— 惩罚引发不满—— 改用奖励规则—— 学生积极参与—— 习惯养成、互帮互助—— 班级整洁团结 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 摆放： arrange/ set ② 决定： determine/ resolve ③ 帮助： assist/ aid 情绪类 ① 高兴： joy/ delight ② 嫉妒： envy/ jealousy 【点睛】【高分句型1】Some wiped the blackboard so carefully that not a single trace of chalk dust was left while others swept the floor repeatedly.(运用了so...that引导的结果状语从句) 【高分句型2】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.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语和that引导的同位语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $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.

B On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 quake — Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years — shook the island’s eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to 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 Cambridge’s 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 AI’s 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, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale 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 (准确度) 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, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度). 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 Nava’s 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 Nava’s 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 Nava’s words imply? A. The model’s performance is not satisfactory. B. Developers should have more trust in the model. C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s 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 systems 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 leverage 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. That’s because concrete is by far the world’s 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 world’s concrete aggregate production was 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: Towards Net Zero Carbon. C. Decarbonisation 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 on 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 from400 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 don’t have such a tax,” Fabea Wiegan d 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 Econømist 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 Econømist. 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 locals’ and visitors’ 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 Wiegand’s attitude toward raising the tourist tax? A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent. 35. What does The 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 don’t 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 shouldn’t try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, it’s 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 Zs in the air may be easier than you think. A. Keep the same sleeping schedule. B. Arrive well-rested and don’t try to force it. C. Frequent travelers 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 doesn’t have to be as bad as it may seem. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 My life used to be like every minute was rushing.

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 corner. 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 comers 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t 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. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The first day of the new rule was full of surprises. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As days went by, students no longer required rewards. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
