B 【解析】 【原文】M: Lack of sleep and too much screen time have become serious concerns among high school students. Research shows that over 60% of students get fewer than six hours of sleep on school nights, and nearly 75% spend more than four hours daily on electronic devices. Consequently, four in ten students report difficulty concentrating in class, while only one in ten who maintain regular sleep schedules face such problems. A team analyzed 8,000 students nationwide regarding their sleep patterns and academic performance. Participants from coastal cities with later school start times were found to sleep significantly longer. These students also demonstrated higher test scores and lower rates of anxiety disorders. The study concluded that a consistent sleep schedule of seven to eight hours, limiting device use before bed, and short afternoon breaks are essential for cognitive function. Students who reduce screen time by two hours daily and replace it with reading or light exercise show marked improvement in memory retention. Those who establish a fixed bedtime routine experience less tiredness and fewer mood swings. Overall, enough sleep not only boosts academic performance but also supports emotional well-being. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A From modern art to ancient history, the UK seems to have museums for everything. ●The Writers’ Museum, Edinburgh Located in the heart of Edinburgh, The Writers’ Museum, a pilgrimage (朝圣) site for literature lovers, shows respect for Scotland’s literary masters — Robert Burns, Walter Scott and Robert Stevenson. But what attracts the visitors most? The museum is housed in the 17th-century Lady Stair’s House, where each room unfolds a different chapter of Scotland’s literary history. From Burns’ writing desk to Scott’s dining table, every corner identifies with the essence (精华) of the written word. ●The National Football Museum, Manchester The museum takes you through the legendary (传奇的) story of football. It is a pilgrimage site that explores the history, culture and global impact of football. From the development of the sport to great moments in football history, the exhibits display the essence of the global favorite. ●The Beatles Story, Liverpool The Beatles Story is more than a museum; it’s a holy site for music lovers to pay respect to their role models: John, Paul, George and Ringo. The exhibits trace the band’s journey from Liverpool’s Cavern Club to global stardom. It offers a unique opportunity to relive the magic of Beatlemania and explore the cultural phenomenon that forever influenced the landscape of music. ●The National Railway Museum, York Housing various railway-themed objects, the museum illustrates the transformative power of the railroad. While impressed by the engineering wisdom of early steam engines, visitors can explore the innovation and connectivity that define the development of rail travel. The dynamic exhibits and interactive displays make it a family-friendly destination, offering a hands-on exploration of what shaped the industrial and social landscape. 21.

(这座博物馆坐落于 17 世纪的斯泰尔夫人宅邸，馆内每个展厅都诉说着苏格兰文学史的别样篇章。)”可知，该博物馆最吸引人的是它所在的古老建筑环境，即其宜人的环境背景。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Beatles Story部分“it’s a holy site for music lovers to pay respect to their role models (对于音乐爱好者来说，这是一个向他们的榜样致敬的圣地)”可知，它对音乐爱好者而言相当于一个音乐朝圣地。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The National Railway Museum部分“The dynamic exhibits and interactive displays make it a family-friendly destination. (动态的展品和互动的展示使其成为一个适合家庭游玩的目的地。)”可知，国家铁路博物馆提供互动展示，鼓励游客参与互动。 B Near Vihaan and Nav Agarwal’s home, a big garbage dump (垃圾场) caved in, releasing poisonous chemicals into the surrounding streets, which caused a fire to erupt. Following this event, Vihaan and Nav decided to take action to improve their city’s waste collection to ultimately improve their own health and that of their neighbors. Vihaan struggled with a persistent cough and shortness of breath. He knew his symptoms would not likely improve until his local community improved its waste management solutions. In 2018, at ages 14 and 11, respectively, the brothers created a home recycling program called One Step Greener that managed recycling for 15 households within their community. Their goal: prevent toxic chemical waste from seeping (渗透) into the environment and creating dangerous health conditions for residents. At first, the boys felt empowered by taking the action of separating waste into distinct categories. When local officials then informed them that the local garbage collection crew would not pick up their separated bags, they felt momentarily defeated, but persisted in their efforts. The boys then created a neighborhood coalition to create a unified recycling program, which 15 households took part in. Local authorities adjusted their stance, and the recycling program spread throughout the community with a growing number of households starting to participate. “The main issue in waste management is that everybody thinks it’s not their job, or if the waste is out of their house, it’s out of their mind,” Vihaan said. Vihaan and Nav’s program grew from managing 15 households to 3,000 throughout 14 Indian cities. The program offers families involved free door-to-door dry waste pickups. The separated waste is then delivered to warehouses where it is further divided to ensure proper recycling. Newspapers are separated from A4 printing paper, PET plastic from polypropylene, and computer screens from keyboards. One Step Greener’s goal reads, “One Step Greener’s mission is to transform environmental action into everyday practice by mobilizing youth, building green communities, and designing scalable solutions in waste management, afforestation, and education — starting at the grassroots, and growing toward systems change.” “It’s an old saying, but collective effort does actually make a difference,” said Vihaan. 24. What inspired Vihaan and Nav to start One Step Greener? A. The locals’ waste collection failure. B. A project on waste management. C. A landfill collapse near their home. D. The city’s campaign for recycling. 25. What was local authorities’ attitude to the program after the neighborhood’s participation? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Dismissive. D. Approving. 26. What did One Step Greener do for the participating households? A. It picked up dry waste for free. B. It educated them online about recycling. C. It delivered newspapers to them. D. It paid them for their recyclable materials. 27. What does Vihaan and Nav’s program show? A. Better late than never. B. Teamwork makes the dream work. C. Knowledge is power. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了印度兄弟创立环保项目改善垃圾回收。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Near Vihaan and Nav Agarwal’s home, a big garbage dump caved in, releasing poisonous chemicals into the surrounding streets, which caused a fire to erupt. (在维汉和纳夫·阿加瓦尔家附近，一个大垃圾场塌陷了，有毒化学物质泄漏到周围的街道上，引发了一场大火)”和第二段中“Following this event, Vihaan and Nav decided to take action to improve their city’s waste collection(在这一事件之后，维汉和纳夫决定采取行动改善他们城市的废物收集)”可知，激发他们创立项目的原因是家附近的垃圾填埋场坍塌事故。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Local authorities adjusted their stance, and the recycling program spread throughout the community with a growing number of households starting to participate. (当地当局调整了立场，随着越来越多的家庭开始参与，这个回收项目在整个社区推广开来)”可知，在社区参与后，当局调整了立场并支持项目的推广，态度是赞成的。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“The program offers families involved free door-to-door dry waste pickups. (该项目为参与的家庭提供免费的干垃圾上门回收服务)”可知，项目为参与的家庭免费回收干垃圾。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“One Step Greener’s goal reads, “One Step Greener’s mission is to transform environmental action into everyday practice by mobilizing youth, building green communities, and designing scalable solutions in waste management, afforestation, and education — starting at the grassroots, and growing toward systems change.”(“一步变绿”的目标宣言写道：“‘一步变绿’的使命是通过动员青年、建设绿色社区以及在废物管理、植树造林和教育领域设计可扩展的解决方案，将环保行动转化为日常实践——从基层做起，逐步推动系统变革。”)”以及最后一段““It’s an old saying, but collective effort does actually make a difference,” said Vihaan.(维汉表示：“这是一句老话，但集体的努力确实能带来改变。”)”可知，这个项目展示了团队协作的力量。 C Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. Alongside their craft, hairdressers are known for their conversation skills, who often act as an agony aunt, adviser and friend rolled into one. New research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) reveals this is what makes hair salons centers of trust that could be used to encourage conversations around climate change. The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices. “The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair.” The study found nearly 73% of salon clients were likely to change their haircare routines after conversations sparked by the Mirror Talkers, some even switching to eco-friendly products, using cooler water, and adopting greener habits at home.   Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. They are now urging policymakers to roll out tools like Mirror Talkers nationally. “If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST. Matilda Collins, a senior director and stylist, says the Mirror Talkers initiative could gain positive outcomes if the experience “feels natural and engages clients without being overly virtuous”. She adds, “Ultimately, the trust a stylist builds with the client is what will drive potential positive changes in behaviour. It could be a great education platform and a conversation starter, however.” 28. What does the underlined word “engender” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Stimulate. B. Maintain. C. Simplify. D. Control. 29. What is the focus of the third paragraph? A. The importance of saving water. B. The harm of overusing shampoo. C. The function of eco-tips in salons. D. The strategy of starting conversations. 30. What can we infer from Dr Sam Hampton’s words? A. Sound policies encourage investment. B. Daily conversations can make a difference. C. Unsung influencers need professional training. D. Mirror Talkers has gained nationwide popularity. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Salons: Overlooked Centers to Build Trust B. Haircare: A Hidden Source of Carbon Footprint C. Mirror Talkers: A Platform to Show Fashion Trends D. Hairdressers: Secret Weapons Against Climate Change 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了研究表明理发师可以在日常对话中讨论气候变化，从而成为推动气候行动的“未被充分认识”的力量。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices (将环保小贴士贴在美发厅镜子上，以engender关于可持续护发实践的讨论)”和下文第三段中“Simple messages... can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair. (简单的信息……可以引发关于减少洗发频率和降低洗发水温如何节省时间、金钱、能源、水以及对皮肤和头发更有益的对话)”可知，环保小贴士的目的是“引发”或“激起”讨论。故划线词engender意为“引发；激起”，与“Stimulate”同义。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair.” (南安普顿大学的Denise Baden表示：“洗发水的碳足迹主要来自使用时的热水。像‘我们大多数人用的洗发水太多、洗头太频繁’这样简单的信息，可以引发关于减少洗头频率和降低水温如何节省时间、金钱、能源和水资源，并且对皮肤和头发更好的讨论。”)”可知，本段通过举例的方式阐述了环保小贴士，比如“我们大多数人用的洗发水太多、洗头太频繁”，是如何在美发厅发挥作用的，即其功能。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Sam Hampton的话“If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations (如果我们真的想发起一场公众参与的气候行动运动，那么现在就该投资于这些默默无闻的影响者，因为真正的改变始于日常的对话)”可知，Sam Hampton博士认为日常对话可以产生影响。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. (科学家们开始关注美发厅，因为他们意识到理发师可能是推动气候行动的一支“未被充分认识”的力量)”以及第五段“Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. (研究人员表示，这表明理发师具有一种“未被开发的潜力”，能够将气候变化融入日常对话和行动中)”可知，文章主要讲述了理发师可以通过日常对话来鼓励环保行为，从而成为推动气候行动的秘密武器。故D项“Hairdressers: Secret Weapons Against Climate Change (理发师：应对气候变化的秘密武器)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 D Berries of all kinds are a delicious and healthy part of any diet. Now, researchers in Finland have shown that these fruits are more than just a tasty treat. A spray (喷雾) made of berry extract has been found to prevent deadly bacteria in wounds. According to a press release from VTT Research in Finland, antibiotic (抗生素的) resistant bacteria are one of the ten greatest world health challenges of our time. This type of bacteria can cause wound infections that are very difficult to treat. But now a solution may have been found. VTT Research found a way to use the antimicrobial properties of berries to make a spray that kills deadly bacteria without harming the useful microbes (微生物) that live on the human skin. This could avoid those very dangerous wound antibiotic resistant infections, and make it possible to use fewer antibiotics while treating a patient. “The product could easily be used in hospitals as, say, a liquid to spray on the skin before surgery,” Panu Lahtinen, Associate Professor and Senior Advisor at VTT said in the press release. VTT has been researching the antimicrobial properties of berries for over two decades. While the data has not yet been published, the researchers found that wild berry seeds of all kinds are naturally coated with antimicrobial compounds. This helps prevent the growth of molds or other diseases before the fruit can shoot up. “Our research has identified antimicrobial compounds in several wild berries,” Panu told Good News Finland. The researchers developed a way to extract the useful compounds from berry cakes, a byproduct of juice making that contains berry seeds and skins. A nanocellulose (纳米纤维素) film that is friendly to human skin is bathed in the berry compound extracted from the berry cake. This makes their spray entirely bio-based. What is remarkable is that VTT found a way to use the power of their local natural surroundings — wild raspberries grow abundantly in Finland — to help humanity, all while also partaking in a circular economy by using organic matter that would otherwise be considered a waste product. As the threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria grows, it is good to know that the solution may be something so simple as a berry. 32. Which statement best describes the benefit of using berry spray? A. It promotes faster surgical recovery. B. It can reduce the number of surgeries. C. It can free patients of pain in surgeries. D. It reduces reliance on antibiotics in treatment. 33. How is the product made? A. Making berries into berry cakes. B. Making berry compounds hard enough. C. Preventing aimed berries from getting affected. D. Having berry compounds on nanocellulose material. 34. What is one most important fact about this product? A. Benefiting local people’s health. B. Protecting patients’ skin before surgery. C. Promoting sustainable development. D. Increasing the products of natural berries. 35. What can be the best title of the text? A. Berry Spray Fights Bacteria. B. Berries: A New Tasty Treat. C. Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. D. Wild Berries Prove Powerful. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了芬兰研究人员利用浆果提取物制成喷雾，该喷雾可杀灭伤口中的有害细菌，以此应对耐药菌难题，同时还介绍了这款喷雾的制作工艺与环保价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This could avoid those very dangerous wound antibiotic resistant infections, and make it possible to use fewer antibiotics while treating a patient.(这可以规避危险的伤口耐药菌感染，还能让治疗过程中减少抗生素的使用)”可知，浆果喷雾可以减少治疗过程中抗生素的使用，降低对抗生素的依赖。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The researchers developed a way to extract the useful compounds from berry cakes(研究人员开发了一种从浆果饼中提取有用化合物的方法)”以及“A nanocellulose (纳米纤维素) film that is friendly to human skin is bathed in the berry compound extracted from the berry cake.(将对人体皮肤无害的纳米纤维膜浸泡在从浆果渣中提取的浆果有效成分中)”可知，该产品的制作方式是将浆果有效成分附着在纳米纤维材料上。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“What is remarkable is that VTT found a way to use the power of their local natural surroundings... all while also partaking in a circular economy by using organic matter that would otherwise be considered a waste product.(值得注意的是，VTT找到了一种利用当地自然环境力量的方法……同时还通过使用原本会被视为废物的有机物参与到循环经济中。)”可知，该产品最重要的一点是促进了可持续发展。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇点题，指出浆果提取物制成的喷雾能预防伤口中的致命细菌，随后介绍了其原理、制作过程及环保意义。A选项“Berry Spray Fights Bacteria(浆果喷雾对抗细菌)”最能概括全文主旨。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is a dream? Many of us can imagine a different existence than we currently have. It is as simple as letting your mind wander for a moment. Yet, it takes more than a few seconds for a real dream to come true. ____36____ Will, knowledge, and emotions matter. In dreaming, we must establish a balance between these three areas of our lives. ____37____ It doesn’t take long to realize what they want to do. The question of “what if” is one that people enjoy. To set your path toward making that happen gets complicated because of those other two areas: knowledge and emotion. A lack of knowledge is a hard issue to overcome. Many of us don’t want to study. So they keep repeating others’ paths. Most of the paths we can imagine have been done before. If you are to see your dream realized, then you will have to get some schooling or guidance. ____38____ You may have a degree this path wasn’t for you. Yet they still take the job. Your knowledge and success have trapped you. ____39____ This is their main obstacle. They can’t seem to manage them. This becomes their limitation. They ride the wave of how they feel today and never press through their current distress to build up any progress. They start and stop all through the course of their life. So what happens when we are led by our emotions? We contain our will. ____40____ Until we can get the knowledge we need and the emotional stability we need, we are stuck in a repeated experience of starting and stopping over and again. A. So, how do you sustain a dream? B. It gets covered up with other worries. C. Will is generally not a dreamer’s problem. D. But this is where the real challenge begins. E. On the other hand, knowledge can work against you. F. You may have invested years, but this path is not for you. G. An even larger number of people struggle with their emotions. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. E 39. G 40. B 【解析】 【导语】主要阐释梦想实现离不开意志、学识与情绪三者平衡，分析三者各自带来的阻碍与影响。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Yet, it takes more than a few seconds for a real dream to come true.(然而真正的梦想实现绝非片刻之功。)”可知，前文提出梦想难以轻易实现，下文开始阐述实现梦想的相关要素，A选项“So, how do you sustain a dream?(那么，该如何维持一个梦想呢)”承接上文，抛出问题引出下文内容，符合语境。 【37题详解】 根据后文“It doesn’t take long to realize what they want to do.(人们很快就能明确自己心中所想所要。)”以及后文重点探讨学识和情绪带来的困扰可知，意志并不会成为追梦阻碍，C选项“Will is generally not a dreamer’s problem.(意志通常不会成为追梦人的难题)”衔接后文内容，区分三者影响程度，符合语境。 【38题详解】 根据后文“You may have a degree this path wasn’t for you. Yet they still take the job.

One of his regular clients was a businessman who hired him as a personal driver during work trips. As they got to know each other better over time, their conversations naturally extended beyond work to personal matters like family and children. The businessman learned that Cuenca’s family was not well-off and had two children in school, so he always gave the father some extra cash at the end of each ride. At that time, Cuenca was in her first year of college and was applying as a transfer student to Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, which she had wanted to attend since high school. But finances were tight for Cuenca and her family, and she wasn’t sure how she was going to cover the $ 50 required for the application fee. “Fifty dollars was a lot of money for a college student back in 1997. And unfortunately, at that point, we really couldn’t afford the money. My wife and I were both from working-class backgrounds,” Cuenca’s father said. During a routine drive, Cuenca’s father received a call from her. She told him she had decided to give up on the application, urging him not to worry about the money anymore. Cuenca’s father then drove silently, replaying his daughter’s words in his mind. The businessman noticed his distress (忧虑) and pressed him until he finally told the story. The businessman listened quietly, leaning back in his seat, his expression softening. “Your daughter sounds like someone who works hard for what she wants,” he said quietly. When the ride ended, the businessman gave him the extra cash as usual, but it was much more — a $ 50 bill. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Meanwhile, he said something that Cuenca’s father would never forget. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cuenca used the businessman’s gift to submit her application that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Meanwhile, he said something that Cuenca’s father would never forget. “It is a gift for your daughter. Tell her that sometimes the world meets her halfway when she dares to walk toward her dream. Someday, when she’s able, I hope she’ll pay it forward. Let this be her first step to Georgetown.” Cuenca’s father drove home with the bill, a tangible warmth replacing the earlier worry. When he told Cuenca what had happened, tears welled up in her eyes. Her long-held dream was about to come true. Cuenca used the businessman’s gift to submit her application that night. What followed were weeks of anxious waiting. Then, on the day when the thick acceptance letter from Georgetown arrived, Cuenca felt a surge of overwhelming gratitude toward the stranger whose generosity had made it possible. Thinking of the businessman’s gift and words, she made a promise to herself silently, “I’ll help someone the way he helped me.” The businessman’s gesture had ignited not just a dream, but also a lifelong commitment to paying kindness forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Cuenca的父亲在迈阿密开出租车，一位商人常雇他当私人司机，常多给车费。Cuenca想转学至乔治城大学却交不起50美元申请费，决定放弃。父亲驾车时接到女儿电话，商人得知后默默多给了一张50美元。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写陌生商人赠予费用并留下寄语，Cuenca的父亲满心温暖，她得知此事后激动落泪，梦想迎来转机。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写Cuenca当晚提交申请，经历漫长等待后收到录取通知书，她心怀感恩并暗下决心传递善意，这份善举也让她立下终身践行善意的信念。 2.续写线索：陌生寄语 —— 父女二人深受触动 —— 提交大学申请并忐忑等待 —— 收到录取通知书满怀感激 —— 暗自承诺传递善意 —— 善意点亮梦想并传承大爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①讲述，告知：tell/inform ②许诺：make a promise/pledge 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/anxiety/concern ②焦急的：anxious/nervous/worried 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tell her that sometimes the world meets her halfway when she dares to walk toward her dream.

But what attracts the visitors most? The museum is housed in the 17th-century Lady Stair’s House, where each room unfolds a different chapter of Scotland’s literary history. From Burns’ writing desk to Scott’s dining table, every corner identifies with the essence (精华) of the written word. ●The National Football Museum, Manchester The museum takes you through the legendary (传奇的) story of football.

B Near Vihaan and Nav Agarwal’s home, a big garbage dump (垃圾场) caved in, releasing poisonous chemicals into the surrounding streets, which caused a fire to erupt. Following this event, Vihaan and Nav decided to take action to improve their city’s waste collection to ultimately improve their own health and that of their neighbors. Vihaan struggled with a persistent cough and shortness of breath. He knew his symptoms would not likely improve until his local community improved its waste management solutions. In 2018, at ages 14 and 11, respectively, the brothers created a home recycling program called One Step Greener that managed recycling for 15 households within their community. Their goal: prevent toxic chemical waste from seeping (渗透) into the environment and creating dangerous health conditions for residents. At first, the boys felt empowered by taking the action of separating waste into distinct categories. When local officials then informed them that the local garbage collection crew would not pick up their separated bags, they felt momentarily defeated, but persisted in their efforts. The boys then created a neighborhood coalition to create a unified recycling program, which 15 households took part in. Local authorities adjusted their stance, and the recycling program spread throughout the community with a growing number of households starting to participate. “The main issue in waste management is that everybody thinks it’s not their job, or if the waste is out of their house, it’s out of their mind,” Vihaan said. Vihaan and Nav’s program grew from managing 15 households to 3,000 throughout 14 Indian cities. The program offers families involved free door-to-door dry waste pickups. The separated waste is then delivered to warehouses where it is further divided to ensure proper recycling. Newspapers are separated from A4 printing paper, PET plastic from polypropylene, and computer screens from keyboards. One Step Greener’s goal reads, “One Step Greener’s mission is to transform environmental action into everyday practice by mobilizing youth, building green communities, and designing scalable solutions in waste management, afforestation, and education — starting at the grassroots, and growing toward systems change.” “It’s an old saying, but collective effort does actually make a difference,” said Vihaan. 24. What inspired Vihaan and Nav to start One Step Greener? A. The locals’ waste collection failure. B. A project on waste management. C. A landfill collapse near their home. D. The city’s campaign for recycling. 25. What was local authorities’ attitude to the program after the neighborhood’s participation? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Dismissive. D. Approving. 26. What did One Step Greener do for the participating households? A. It picked up dry waste for free. B. It educated them online about recycling. C. It delivered newspapers to them. D. It paid them for their recyclable materials. 27. What does Vihaan and Nav’s program show? A. Better late than never. B. Teamwork makes the dream work. C. Knowledge is power. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. Alongside their craft, hairdressers are known for their conversation skills, who often act as an agony aunt, adviser and friend rolled into one. New research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) reveals this is what makes hair salons centers of trust that could be used to encourage conversations around climate change. The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices. “The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair.” The study found nearly 73% of salon clients were likely to change their haircare routines after conversations sparked by the Mirror Talkers, some even switching to eco-friendly products, using cooler water, and adopting greener habits at home.   Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. They are now urging policymakers to roll out tools like Mirror Talkers nationally. “If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST. Matilda Collins, a senior director and stylist, says the Mirror Talkers initiative could gain positive outcomes if the experience “feels natural and engages clients without being overly virtuous”. She adds, “Ultimately, the trust a stylist builds with the client is what will drive potential positive changes in behaviour. It could be a great education platform and a conversation starter, however.” 28. What does the underlined word “engender” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Stimulate. B. Maintain. C. Simplify. D. Control. 29. What is the focus of the third paragraph? A. The importance of saving water. B. The harm of overusing shampoo. C. The function of eco-tips in salons. D. The strategy of starting conversations. 30. What can we infer from Dr Sam Hampton’s words? A. Sound policies encourage investment. B. Daily conversations can make a difference. C. Unsung influencers need professional training. D. Mirror Talkers has gained nationwide popularity. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Salons: Overlooked Centers to Build Trust B. Haircare: A Hidden Source of Carbon Footprint C. Mirror Talkers: A Platform to Show Fashion Trends D. Hairdressers: Secret Weapons Against Climate Change D Berries of all kinds are a delicious and healthy part of any diet. Now, researchers in Finland have shown that these fruits are more than just a tasty treat. A spray (喷雾) made of berry extract has been found to prevent deadly bacteria in wounds. According to a press release from VTT Research in Finland, antibiotic (抗生素的) resistant bacteria are one of the ten greatest world health challenges of our time. This type of bacteria can cause wound infections that are very difficult to treat. But now a solution may have been found. VTT Research found a way to use the antimicrobial properties of berries to make a spray that kills deadly bacteria without harming the useful microbes (微生物) that live on the human skin. This could avoid those very dangerous wound antibiotic resistant infections, and make it possible to use fewer antibiotics while treating a patient. “The product could easily be used in hospitals as, say, a liquid to spray on the skin before surgery,” Panu Lahtinen, Associate Professor and Senior Advisor at VTT said in the press release. VTT has been researching the antimicrobial properties of berries for over two decades. While the data has not yet been published, the researchers found that wild berry seeds of all kinds are naturally coated with antimicrobial compounds. This helps prevent the growth of molds or other diseases before the fruit can shoot up. “Our research has identified antimicrobial compounds in several wild berries,” Panu told Good News Finland. The researchers developed a way to extract the useful compounds from berry cakes, a byproduct of juice making that contains berry seeds and skins. A nanocellulose (纳米纤维素) film that is friendly to human skin is bathed in the berry compound extracted from the berry cake. This makes their spray entirely bio-based. What is remarkable is that VTT found a way to use the power of their local natural surroundings — wild raspberries grow abundantly in Finland — to help humanity, all while also partaking in a circular economy by using organic matter that would otherwise be considered a waste product. As the threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria grows, it is good to know that the solution may be something so simple as a berry. 32. Which statement best describes the benefit of using berry spray? A. It promotes faster surgical recovery. B. It can reduce the number of surgeries. C. It can free patients of pain in surgeries. D. It reduces reliance on antibiotics in treatment. 33. How is the product made? A. Making berries into berry cakes. B. Making berry compounds hard enough. C. Preventing aimed berries from getting affected. D. Having berry compounds on nanocellulose material. 34. What is one most important fact about this product? A. Benefiting local people’s health. B. Protecting patients’ skin before surgery. C. Promoting sustainable development. D. Increasing the products of natural berries. 35. What can be the best title of the text? A. Berry Spray Fights Bacteria. B. Berries: A New Tasty Treat. C. Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. D. Wild Berries Prove Powerful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is a dream? Many of us can imagine a different existence than we currently have. It is as simple as letting your mind wander for a moment. Yet, it takes more than a few seconds for a real dream to come true. ____36____ Will, knowledge, and emotions matter. In dreaming, we must establish a balance between these three areas of our lives. ____37____ It doesn’t take long to realize what they want to do. The question of “what if” is one that people enjoy. To set your path toward making that happen gets complicated because of those other two areas: knowledge and emotion. A lack of knowledge is a hard issue to overcome. Many of us don’t want to study. So they keep repeating others’ paths. Most of the paths we can imagine have been done before. If you are to see your dream realized, then you will have to get some schooling or guidance. ____38____ You may have a degree this path wasn’t for you. Yet they still take the job. Your knowledge and success have trapped you. ____39____ This is their main obstacle. They can’t seem to manage them. This becomes their limitation. They ride the wave of how they feel today and never press through their current distress to build up any progress. They start and stop all through the course of their life. So what happens when we are led by our emotions? We contain our will. ____40____ Until we can get the knowledge we need and the emotional stability we need, we are stuck in a repeated experience of starting and stopping over and again. A. So, how do you sustain a dream? B. It gets covered up with other worries. C. Will is generally not a dreamer’s problem. D. But this is where the real challenge begins. E. On the other hand, knowledge can work against you. F. You may have invested years, but this path is not for you. G. An even larger number of people struggle with their emotions. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We were three days into a 27-day journey through eastern Nepal’s forests, walking through low clouds and constant rain. “Are we on the right path?” I asked my guide Raj.

One of his regular clients was a businessman who hired him as a personal driver during work trips. As they got to know each other better over time, their conversations naturally extended beyond work to personal matters like family and children. The businessman learned that Cuenca’s family was not well-off and had two children in school, so he always gave the father some extra cash at the end of each ride. At that time, Cuenca was in her first year of college and was applying as a transfer student to Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, which she had wanted to attend since high school. But finances were tight for Cuenca and her family, and she wasn’t sure how she was going to cover the $ 50 required for the application fee. “Fifty dollars was a lot of money for a college student back in 1997. And unfortunately, at that point, we really couldn’t afford the money. My wife and I were both from working-class backgrounds,” Cuenca’s father said. During a routine drive, Cuenca’s father received a call from her. She told him she had decided to give up on the application, urging him not to worry about the money anymore. Cuenca’s father then drove silently, replaying his daughter’s words in his mind. The businessman noticed his distress (忧虑) and pressed him until he finally told the story. The businessman listened quietly, leaning back in his seat, his expression softening. “Your daughter sounds like someone who works hard for what she wants,” he said quietly. When the ride ended, the businessman gave him the extra cash as usual, but it was much more — a $ 50 bill. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Meanwhile, he said something that Cuenca’s father would never forget. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cuenca used the businessman’s gift to submit her application that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
