Unclean kitchen equipment. 19. What action have local universities taken? A. They’ve banned all takeout orders. B. They’ve sent inspectors to takeout shops. C. They’ve encouraged students to eat in the canteen. 20. What will the speaker do in the future? A. Provide food safety advice. B. Push for stricter delivery rules. C. Introduce new safety standards. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】Good afternoon. I’m Sarah, with today’s campus news. A recent health report shows more students are getting sick after eating takeout near our university. Cases have risen nearly 30% this term. Experts discovered that the problem originates from how some restaurants process their ingredients. Several popular places reused cooking oil and stored raw meat next to ready-to-eat dishes. Some also had unclean kitchen equipment, but that played a smaller role. Health officials advise ordering only from restaurants that display their safety grade. They also remind everyone to check if food looks fresh upon arrival. Local universities have started sending safety inspectors to nearby takeout shops. Three businesses have been closed for failing checks. Meanwhile, the student union is launching a “Safe Takeout Guide” campaign to help students identify reliable restaurants. Scientists say the issue may also be linked to poor delivery practices, such as damaged packaging and long waiting times. They are pushing for stricter rules for delivery platforms. I’ll continue to follow this issue and share tips on how to spot unsafe takeout and eat smartly. 第二部分 阅读 (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 With dramatic peaks and splendid lakes, Yellowstone National Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Multicolored pools circle around hot springs; thick forests weave past expansive grasslands. Best Months to Visit The best times to visit are from late April to May and September through early October. These shoulder months offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and few to no road closures. July and August are the most popular months because kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside. However, this park is no stranger to cold. Temperatures can drop into the 30s during summer in higher elevation areas. In winter, expect temperatures from below zero to the high 20s. Don’t let that stop you: nothing beats seeing steam rise from beneath snow and ice. How to Save Money  Bring your own bed: campgrounds are much less costly than hotels, and many campgrounds come equipped with showers, toilets and laundry.  Skip summer because hotel rates rise with the number of tourists.  Do your own cooking: sit-down restaurants can take a bite out of your savings. What You Need to Know  Beware of bears: make noise when hiking, bring bear spray, and secure food overnight.  Camping outside designated (指定的) areas requires a permit from visitor centers.  Getting around: The best way to get around is by car; there is no public transportation. Rent a car at nearby airports. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of year and day. Entrance Fee Entry to Yellowstone costs $20 per person for foot or bike, $30 for motorcycle, $35 for car. All park passes are valid for seven consecutive (连续的) days. 21. Which month is Yellowstone’s peak tourist time? A. April. B. July. C. September. D. December. 22. What are visitors advised to do in Yellowstone? A. Stay at campgrounds. B. Keep silent while hiking. C. Take public transportation. D. Dine at sit-down restaurants. 23. How much does a family of four pay for a 9-day trip on foot? A. $80. B. $140. C. $160. D. $180. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了黄石国家公园的游览时节、省钱方式、注意事项及门票费用。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Months to Visit标题下“July and August are the most popular months because kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside.(7月和8月是最受欢迎的月份，因为孩子们放了假，天气也足够暖和，可以在户外露营)”可知，黄石公园的旅游旺季是7月和8月。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据How to Save Money标题下“Bring your own bed: campgrounds are much less costly than hotels, and many campgrounds come equipped with showers, toilets and laundry.(自带住宿装备：露营地比酒店便宜得多，而且很多露营地都配有淋浴、厕所和洗衣设施)”可知，文章建议游客选择露营地住宿。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Entrance Fee部分中“Entry to Yellowstone costs $20 per person for foot or bike(步行或骑自行车进入黄石公园每人收费20美元)”以及“All park passes are valid for seven consecutive (连续的) days.(所有公园通行证连续七天有效)”可知，四人九天徒步旅行需购买两次七天的通行证，总费用为4×20×2=160美元。 B In India, when an elephant tramples crops or a leopard attacks livestock, or worse, a person, the fallout can be disastrous for families. It can also create the human-nature tension and ruin the harmony with each other that is crucial for protecting wildlife. This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. For that, she’s been named the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, an award for contributions to research and conservation among National Geographic Explorers. As CEO of the Bengaluru-based Centre for Wildlife Studies, Karanth faces a paradox (矛盾) that India, with 1.4 billion people, is also a stronghold for wildlife, home to approximately half of Asia’s elephants and roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild tigers. Conserving those and other species, she says, requires not just saving habitat but also winning hearts and minds. Karanth has launched Wild Seve, a platform for users to request government compensation (补偿金) when wildlife damages crops, livestock, or property. With a simple toll-free call, victims ask the program’s trained field staff to document losses, then file claims and track cases as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped some 17,000 families make up for economic losses, and reduced the likelihood of hunting as punishment. Reducing the bad outcomes is far from enough. She has also created a curriculum for schoolkids living near wildlife reserves, called Wild Shaale, designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for animals. Through games, storytelling, and art, the program explores why conflicts occur and how to respond safely. Wild Shaale is now taught in some 1,600 schools across India. “Krithi has sparked a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic Society CEO Jill Tiefenthaler. “By combining science, education, and community partnership, she is redefining how people live in harmony with nature, and what conservation can achieve for communities and young people.” Next, Karanth wants to apply her ideas outside India, cultivating an international crop of environmental stewards — or even just empathetic neighbors. “Having a set of people who at least tolerate the presence of a large animal,” she says, “is a massive victory.” 24. What made Karanth the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year? A. Stopping elephants destroying crops. B. Protecting people from dangerous animals. C. Participating in saving wildlife personally. D. Improving the bond between man and wildlife. 25. What paradox is Karanth faced with? A. Indians dislike living alongside wild animals. B. India is crowded with too many wild species. C. India lacks sufficient resources for its people. D. Indians and animals compete for living space. 26. Why did Karanth launch these conservation programs across India? A. To help people co-exist with wild animals. B. To free kids from the threat from animals. C. To inform farmers of the loss-claiming process. D. To convince people to establish wildlife reserves. 27. What is the key to success in Karanth’s conservation work? A. Having a global vision. B. Reforming education policies. C. Earning people’s support. D. Prioritizing human interests. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍环保学者克里西·卡朗特推出多项举措缓解人兽冲突，促进人与野生动物和谐共处，并斩获年度探险家奖项。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. For that, she’s been named the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, an award for contributions to research and conservation among National Geographic Explorers. (这就是保护生物学家克里西·卡朗耗费多年制定全新策略、帮助人类与世界上一些最危险动物共同生活的原因。为此，她被授予2026年劳力士国家地理年度探险家称号，这是一项表彰国家地理探险家在研究与保护领域所作贡献的奖项。)”可知，卡朗特改善了人类与野生动物之间的关系，因此获此奖项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As CEO of the Bengaluru-based Centre for Wildlife Studies, Karanth faces a paradox (矛盾) that India, with 1.4 billion people, is also a stronghold for wildlife, home to approximately half of Asia’s elephants and roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild tigers. (作为总部位于班加罗尔的野生动物研究中心首席执行官，卡朗面临一个矛盾：拥有 14 亿人口的印度同时也是野生动物的重要栖息地，这里生活着大约亚洲半数的大象以及全球约四分之三的野生老虎。)”可知，印度人口众多、野生动物数量庞大，人和动物争夺生存空间，这就是她面临的矛盾。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. (这就是保护生物学家克里西·卡朗特多年来制定新方案，帮助人类与世界上一些最危险动物共存的原因。)”以及第三、四段分别介绍补偿平台、校园野生动物课程可知，她推出各类保护项目的目的是帮助人类与野生动物共存。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Conserving those and other species, she says, requires not just saving habitat but also winning hearts and minds. (她说，保护这些及其他物种，不仅需要保护栖息地，还要赢得民众的认同与支持。)”可知，获得民众的支持是她保护工作取得成功的关键。 C The Amazon rainforest may be shifting from a massive carbon sink to a net carbon emitter. Since 1985, human activity has destroyed more than 10% of the Amazon's forest cover, releasing substantial amounts of CO2 previously sequestered in trees and soil. Deforestation through fires releases 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, driving climate warming. Vegetation changes alter atmospheric composition, surface reflectivity, and cloud properties, which can either intensify or slow warming. The replacement of dark forest cover by brighter grasses increases surface reflectivity, leading to more reflection of solar radiation, though weaker than in snow-covered regions. Among these, how clouds respond to forest loss remains the least understood. Previous studies on cloud cover yielded conflicting results: some reported reductions after deforestation, while others reported increases. This difference arises from strong regional and seasonal variations. Notably, prior studies examined long-term associations rather than immediate deforestation impacts such as fire aerosols. To resolve this, Dror and Feingold analyzed two decades of MODIS and CERES satellite data, comparing deforested regions with nearby undisturbed areas. Their findings reveal that cloud cover rises systematically with deforestation year-round,peaking during the dry season. In areas where forest loss surpassed 50%, cloud cover grew by 3.1% on average,reaching 5.1% in the most heavily cleared zones. Moreover, cloud tops sat at lower altitudes over cleared lands. These low-altitude clouds enhanced reflection of incoming solar radiation rather than trapping outgoing heat. The resulting cooling effect from this cloud increase proved at least twice as strong as that from surface reflectivity changes alone. While increased cloudiness thus reduces part of the CO2-driven warming, other factors like non-CO2 greenhouse gases remain uncertain. and aerosols such as methane and ozone remain uncertain, with either warming or cooling effects through complex pathways. Current evidence suggests that even combined biophysical effects cannot fully cancel out the warming. Therefore, maintaining and restoring Amazon forest cover remains essential for climate protection. 28. What does the underlined word“sequestered” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Stored. B. Produced. C. Released. D. Transformed. 29. How did Dror and Feingold carry out their study? A. By measuring CO2 levels in heavily cleared forest areas. B. By conducting ground surveys of vegetation in Amazon areas. C. By analyzing seasonal rainfall patterns across Amazon regions. D. By comparing satellite data between cleared and undisturbed areas. 30. What accounts for the stronger cooling effect over cleared lands? A. Greater ground reflectivity from grasses. B. More trapping of outgoing heat by low clouds. C. Higher altitude of cloud tops over cleared lands. D. Lower cloud tops reflecting more solar radiation. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Cloud feedback alone stabilizes climate. B. Future drying will enhance cloud cooling. C. Biophysical factors lead to ineffective results. D. Forest restoration is essential despite partial cooling. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍亚马孙雨林正从碳汇逐渐转变为碳排放源，阐述了毁林带来的气候变化、地表及云层变化，通过科研数据说明森林减少导致云层变化产生的降温效果，并指出该降温作用无法抵消整体气候变暖，强调保护和修复亚马孙雨林的重要性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Since 1985, human activity has destroyed more than 10% of the Amazon's forest cover, releasing substantial amounts of CO2 previously sequestered in trees and soil(自1985年以来，人类活动已经破坏了亚马逊森林覆盖面积的10%以上，释放大量原本sequestered在树木和土壤中的二氧化碳)”可知，树木和土壤原本具备储存二氧化碳的作用，砍伐森林使得储存的二氧化碳被释放，sequestered意为“储存”。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To resolve this, Dror and Feingold analyzed two decades of MODIS and CERES satellite data, comparing deforested regions with nearby undisturbed areas(为了解决这个问题，Dror和Feingold分析了二十年的卫星数据，对比森林砍伐区域与附近未受干扰区域)”可知，两位研究者通过对比采伐区和未采伐区的卫星数据开展研究。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, cloud tops sat at lower altitudes over cleared lands. These low-altitude clouds enhanced reflection of incoming solar radiation rather than trapping outgoing heat.(此外，采伐区域的云顶高度更低，这些低空云层能够更好地反射太阳辐射，而非截留热量)”可知，更低的云顶反射更多太阳辐射，形成更强的降温效果。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Current evidence suggests that even combined biophysical effects cannot fully cancel out the warming. Therefore, maintaining and restoring Amazon forest cover remains essential for climate protection(现有证据表明，即使综合所有生物物理效应也无法完全抵消气候变暖，因此维护和恢复亚马孙雨林对气候保护至关重要)”可知，即便云层能带来局部降温，修复雨林依旧必不可少。 D At 56, I am beginning to feel the physical effects of ageing. I won’t bore you with the details, but none of them is great fun. Yet researchers now suggest that one of the most damaging effects may not be physical at all. It may begin with how people come to see ageing itself. They call it internalised ageism: the tendency to hold negative expectations about one’s own health simply because of age. When older adults are repeatedly assumed to be slow, forgetful, or incapable of learning, such ideas do not always stay outside them. Over time, they can become part of how people see themselves. Once that happens, behaviour may change: a person who expects decline may exercise less, pay less attention to diet, and treat every sign of weakness as proof of something worse. Research shows that internalised ageism can affect how people age. A Harvard study found that older adults with the most positive views showed slower physical and mental decline and kept healthier habits than those with the most negative views. Crucially, researchers ruled out the simpler explanation — poor health did not simply cause pessimism. Instead, a person’s attitude at the start predicted how their health changed over time. Becca Levy at YaleSchool of Public Health found further support: among people over 65 with mild memory problems, those with a positive outlook were far more likely to recover. Her research also shows that such negative thinking generates over three million extra disease cases in the US each year, at a combined cost of over eleven billion dollars. Yet internalised ageism doesn’t just come from within. Negative images of older people spread through the media, advertising, and even the advice of medical professionals. Because these messages appear so naturally in daily life, they are seldom questioned. By the time most people notice them, they have already taken root. A partial answer exists. Research shows attitudes towards ageing can shift through positive messages. But changing deeply held beliefs takes generations, as the long struggle against racial prejudice shows. I’m not going to let it get me down. Instead, I’m going to try to make my own ageing process great fun. 32. What is the root cause of internalized ageism? A. Less attention to exercise and diet. B. Gradual loss of learning capability. C. Constant fear over physical decline. D. Repeated exposure to age prejudice. 33. What can we learn about ageing from the Harvard study? A. Attitude affects the rate of ageing. B. Pessimism results from faster ageing. C. Mindset alone defines ageing process. D. Healthy habits promise slower ageing. 34. Why is internalised ageism hard to change? A. Its roots take time to appear. B. It is backed by professionals. C. Its sources are widely varied. D. It is established as a social norm. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Age Prejudice: A Long Battle for Society B. The Elderly: A Group Misunderstood by Society C. Social Messages: A Silent Force Behind Age Bias D. Negative Expectations: A Hidden Threat in Ageing 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文指出内化年龄歧视（即因年龄而对自身健康持有负面预期）是衰老过程中极具破坏性的隐藏威胁；研究表明积极的心态能延缓身心衰退，而负面思维会导致健康问题和巨大的社会成本；内化年龄歧视源于社会广泛传播的负面老年形象，虽然改变这种观念需要时间，但我们可以通过积极的态度让衰老过程变得更美好。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“They call it internalised ageism: the tendency to hold negative expectations about one's own health simply because of age. When older adults are repeatedly assumed to be slow, forgetful, or incapable of learning, such ideas do not always stay outside them.(他们称之为内化年龄歧视：仅仅因为年龄就对自身健康持有负面预期的倾向。当老年人反复被认为行动迟缓、健忘或没有学习能力时，这些观念并不总是停留在他们的外部。)”以及第四段第一句“Yet internalised ageism doesn’t just come from within. Negative images of older people spread through the media, advertising, and even the advice of medical professionals.(然而，内化年龄歧视并非仅仅源于内心。关于老年人的负面形象通过媒体、广告甚至医疗专业人员的建议传播开来。)”可知，内化年龄歧视的根本原因是反复接触年龄偏见。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“A Harvard study found that older adults with the most positive views showed slower physical and mental decline and kept healthier habits than those with the most negative views.(哈佛大学的一项研究发现，心态最积极的老年人比心态最消极的老年人身心衰退速度更慢，且能保持更健康的习惯。)”可知，态度会影响衰老的速度。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Yet internalised ageism doesn't just come from within. Negative images of older people spread through the media, advertising, and even the advice of medical professionals. Because these messages appear so naturally in daily life, they are seldom questioned. By the time most people notice them, they have already taken root.(然而，内化年龄歧视并非仅仅源于内心。关于老年人的负面形象通过媒体、广告甚至医疗专业人员的建议传播开来。因为这些信息在日常生活中显得如此自然，所以很少有人质疑它们。当大多数人注意到它们的时候，它们已经根深蒂固了。)”以及第五段第二句“But changing deeply held beliefs takes generations, as the long struggle against racial prejudice shows.(但改变根深蒂固的观念需要几代人的时间，正如反对种族偏见的长期斗争所表明的那样。)”可知，内化年龄歧视难以改变是因为它已经成为一种被广泛接受的社会规范。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“内化年龄歧视”展开，指出它是衰老过程中极具破坏性的隐藏威胁，分析了其成因、危害和应对方法。D项“负面预期：衰老中的隐藏威胁”最能概括文章主旨。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Within the scientific community, dreams are still something of a mystery. However, improvements in brain imaging and recent physiological studies have brought us one step closer to answering the question of why some people remember their dreams more than others. ____36____ Gender ____37____ Researchers arent exactly sure why, but Barrett says it could be a biological or hormonal difference. Barrett notes that differences between men and women in regard to dream recall are“modest” and that there are greater differences within each gender than between the genders. Age As we get older, it often gets harder to recall our dreams. Your ability to remember dreams improves in late childhood and adolescence, and tends to peak in your twenties, Barrett says____38____ However, there are exceptions,and people sometimes experience the opposite. Amount of sleep The amount of sleep one gets is one of the most important factors. ____39____ However, those rapid eye movement periods get longer throughout the night, meaning that you’re doing the most dreaming toward the morning generally right before you wake up. Brain activity Thanks to brain imaging, scientists now have a better idea of which parts of the brain are associated with dreaming. A part of the brain that processes information and emotions is more active in people who remember their dreams more often. ____40____ In turn, this may promote something called intrasleep (睡眠期间) wakefulness. If you don’t remember anything, Barrett says it's still helpful to assess how you feel when you first awaken. “Sometimes if you just stay with whatever emotion you woke up with,” she says, “a dream will come rushing back.” A. Dr. Deirdre Barrett shared a few of the factors. B. Women, on average, recall more dreams than men. C. So what can you do to help you remember your dreams? D.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学界对“为什么有些人比其他人更容易记住梦境”这一问题的研究进展，从性别、年龄、睡眠时间和大脑活动四个方面分析了影响梦境记忆的因素，并给出了帮助回忆梦境的小建议。 【36题详解】 根据空前句“However, improvements in brain imaging and recent physiological studies have brought us one step closer to answering the question of why some people remember their dreams more than others.(然而，大脑成像技术的进步和近期的生理学研究让我们离解答“为什么有些人比其他人更容易记住梦境”这个问题更近了一步。)”以及下文四个小标题（Gender、Age、Amount of sleep、Brain activity）均为影响梦境记忆的因素可知，空处需起到承上启下的作用，引出下文的具体因素。A选项“迪尔德丽·巴雷特博士分享了其中几个因素。”完美衔接上下文，开启下文对各因素的介绍。 【37题详解】 根据本段小标题“Gender(性别)”以及空后句“Researchers aren't exactly sure why, but Barrett says it could be a biological or hormonal difference.(研究人员并不完全确定原因，但巴雷特说这可能是生理或荷尔蒙差异导致的。)”可知，空处需说明性别差异在梦境记忆上的具体表现。B选项“平均而言，女性比男性记住更多的梦境。”符合本段主题，且空后句是对该现象原因的解释，逻辑连贯。 【38题详解】 根据本段小标题“Age(年龄)”以及空前句“Your ability to remember dreams improves in late childhood and adolescence, and tends to peak in your twenties, Barrett says.(巴雷特说，你记住梦境的能力在童年后期和青春期会提高，在二十多岁时达到顶峰。)”以及空后句“However, there are exceptions, and people sometimes experience the opposite.(然而，也有例外，有些人有时会经历相反的情况。)”可知，空处需说明二十多岁之后梦境记忆能力的变化趋势。F选项“在那之后，人们的梦境记忆能力通常会逐渐下降。”承接空前句的“peak in your twenties”，且空后句的转折符合逻辑。 【39题详解】 根据本段小标题“Amount of sleep(睡眠时间)”以及空后句“However, those rapid eye movement periods get longer throughout the night, meaning that you're doing the most dreaming toward the morning generally right before you wake up.(然而，这些快速眼动期在夜间会变得越来越长，这意味着你在清晨——通常是醒来之前——做的梦最多。)”可知，空处需引出“快速眼动睡眠”与做梦的关系。G选项“人们在快速眼动睡眠周期中每90分钟做一次梦。”首次提到快速眼动睡眠，且空后句的“those rapid eye movement periods”指代该选项中的“rapid eye movement sleep cycle”，衔接紧密。 【40题详解】 根据空前句“A part of the brain that processes information and emotions is more active in people who remember their dreams more often.(在经常记住梦境的人的大脑中，负责处理信息和情绪的区域更为活跃。)”以及空后句“In turn, this may promote something called intrasleep(睡眠期间) wakefulness.(反过来，这可能会促进一种叫做“睡眠中清醒”的状态。)”可知，空处需解释该大脑区域的活跃如何影响梦境记忆。D选项“这个区域可能帮助人们更多地关注外部线索。”中的“This region”指代空前句中的大脑区域，且空后句的“In turn”承接该选项内容，说明关注外部线索会促进睡眠中清醒，从而更容易记住梦境，逻辑链条完整。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Holly Smith was a 19-year-old girl when she boarded a plane at New York’s Airport.

I was the only one in my class who didn’t sign up for the school’s Creative Project Day. While my deskmate Lily stayed up late making her hand-painted storybook and the boys in the back row argued over their DIY craft models, I just sat quietly in my seat, staring at the blank sign-up sheet. Hands-on projects weren’t my thing. Last year, I tried making a paper volcano for Creative Project Day, but it collapsed and spilled paint everywhere. That failed creative attempt made me even more hesitant to sign up this year. Then Ms. Lee, our science teacher, stopped by my desk. “Clara, the Creative Project Day is all about curiosity, not perfection,” she said softly. “What’s something you love, something you could talk about for hours?” I thought for a moment. “Books,” I said quietly, unsure of myself. “I love stories.” Ms. Lee smiled. “Then why not turn that into a project?” That night, I lay awake, thinking. I loved the school library, but I’d noticed that many younger students didn’t visit it often. They said the books were “boring” or “too hard”. What if I could change that? I began to form a plan for the Creative Project Day — creating a Story Corner in the library, with picture books and short stories, and even recording audio versions of some stories for kids who struggled to read. I felt a brief thrill run through me — until I thought about all the work ahead. These tasks, which were key to my project, confused me: I had no idea how to organize the corner in a neat and orderly way, how to use simple tech tools to record audio, or even how to ask Ms. Henderson, the librarian, for permission. Worse, what if no one cared? What if I failed again, just like with the volcano? But I finally decided to give it a try. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I found myself standing outside the library, hesitating. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Creative Project Day, my Story Corner became a huge success. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： The next morning. I found myself standing outside the library, hesitating. My heart pounded as I thought about all the ways she could say no, but I pushed the door open and blurted out my idea. To my surprise, Ms. Henderson smiled. She taught me how to color-code books by age and theme — that solved the organization problem. Then she helped me borrow a small recording device from the media center. Within a week, I had recorded five stories with sound effects. Ms. Henderson even set aside a cozy corner with cushions and a small shelf just for my project. The fear that had weighed me down slowly began to lift. On Creative Project Day, my Story Corner became a huge success. Younger students crowded around the cushions, flipping through picture books and tapping the audio player to hear my voice reading stories. Some kids who rarely visited the library asked if they could come back tomorrow. Even Ms. Lee stopped by, gave me a thumbs-up, and whispered, “See? Curiosity works.” My volcano failure suddenly felt like a distant memory. As I watched a shy first-grader curl up with a book in my corner, I realized something: creativity wasn’t just about getting things right. It was about finding a problem you cared about and trying to solve it — one small step at a time. 【解析】 【导语】文以人物为线索展开，讲述了克拉拉因曾在创意项目中失败而不敢报名，在科学老师李老师的鼓励下，结合自己热爱读书的特点，计划在图书馆创建故事角，却因担心任务难度和失败而犹豫，最终在图书管理员亨德森女士的帮助下完成准备，且在创意项目日获得巨大成功，重拾信心、领悟创意真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写克拉拉鼓起勇气走进图书馆，向图书管理员亨德森女士说明自己的创意项目计划，亨德森女士给予她肯定和帮助，教她整理书籍、借用录音设备，帮助她解决遇到的难题，克拉拉的恐惧逐渐消散。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写创意项目日当天，故事角受到低年级学生的热烈欢迎，学生们积极参与其中，李老师前来肯定克拉拉的成果，克拉拉看着眼前的场景，放下了过去失败的阴影，领悟到创意的真正含义。 2. 续写线索 图书馆外犹豫徘徊→鼓起勇气向亨德森女士说明计划→亨德森女士指导整理书籍、借用录音设备→完成故事角准备、恐惧消散→创意项目日故事角大受欢迎→李老师给予肯定→领悟创意真谛、放下失败阴影 3.词类激活 行为类 ①（心脏）快速跳动：pound/race/beat wildly ②低声说：whisper/murmur ③解决：solve/resolve 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/horror ②重压心头：weigh me down/burden me 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart pounded as I thought about all the ways she could say no, but I pushed the door open and blurted out my idea. （运用了as引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Younger students crowded around the cushions, flipping through picture books and tapping the audio player to hear my voice reading stories.（运用了现在分词flipping和tapping作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club, can I help you?

With today's campus news, a recent health report shows more students are getting sick after eating take out near our university. Cases have risen nearly thirty percent this term. Experts discovered that the problem originate from how some restaurants process their ingredients. Several popular places, we used cooking oil and stored raw meat next to ready to eat dishes. Some also had unclean kitchen equipment. But that played a smaller role. Health officials advice, ordering only from restaurants that display their safety grade. They also remind everyone to check if food looks pressure. Upon arrival, local universities have started sending safety inspectors to nearby take out shops. Three businesses have been closed for fAiling checks. Meanwhile, the student union is launching a safe takeout guide campaign to help students identify reliable restaurants. Scientists say the issue may also be linked to poor delivery practices, such as damaged packaging and long waiting times. They are pushing for stricter rules for delivery platforms. I'll continue to follow this issue and share tips on how to spot unsafe takeout and eats smartly. Good afternoon, i'm Sarah.

Multicolored pools circle around hot springs; thick forests weave past expansive grasslands. Best Months to Visit The best times to visit are from late April to May and September through early October. These shoulder months offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and few to no road closures. July and August are the most popular months because kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside. However, this park is no stranger to cold. Temperatures can drop into the 30s during summer in higher elevation areas. In winter, expect temperatures from below zero to the high 20s. Don’t let that stop you: nothing beats seeing steam rise from beneath snow and ice. How to Save Money  Bring your own bed: campgrounds are much less costly than hotels, and many campgrounds come equipped with showers, toilets and laundry.  Skip summer because hotel rates rise with the number of tourists.  Do your own cooking: sit-down restaurants can take a bite out of your savings. What You Need to Know  Beware of bears: make noise when hiking, bring bear spray, and secure food overnight.  Camping outside designated (指定的) areas requires a permit from visitor centers.  Getting around: The best way to get around is by car; there is no public transportation. Rent a car at nearby airports. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of year and day. Entrance Fee Entry to Yellowstone costs $20 per person for foot or bike, $30 for motorcycle, $35 for car. All park passes are valid for seven consecutive (连续的) days. 21. Which month is Yellowstone’s peak tourist time? A. April. B. July. C. September. D. December. 22. What are visitors advised to do in Yellowstone? A. Stay at campgrounds. B. Keep silent while hiking. C. Take public transportation. D. Dine at sit-down restaurants. 23. How much does a family of four pay for a 9-day trip on foot? A. $80. B. $140. C. $160. D. $180. B In India, when an elephant tramples crops or a leopard attacks livestock, or worse, a person, the fallout can be disastrous for families. It can also create the human-nature tension and ruin the harmony with each other that is crucial for protecting wildlife. This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. For that, she’s been named the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, an award for contributions to research and conservation among National Geographic Explorers. As CEO of the Bengaluru-based Centre for Wildlife Studies, Karanth faces a paradox (矛盾) that India, with 1.4 billion people, is also a stronghold for wildlife, home to approximately half of Asia’s elephants and roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild tigers. Conserving those and other species, she says, requires not just saving habitat but also winning hearts and minds. Karanth has launched Wild Seve, a platform for users to request government compensation (补偿金) when wildlife damages crops, livestock, or property. With a simple toll-free call, victims ask the program’s trained field staff to document losses, then file claims and track cases as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped some 17,000 families make up for economic losses, and reduced the likelihood of hunting as punishment. Reducing the bad outcomes is far from enough. She has also created a curriculum for schoolkids living near wildlife reserves, called Wild Shaale, designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for animals. Through games, storytelling, and art, the program explores why conflicts occur and how to respond safely. Wild Shaale is now taught in some 1,600 schools across India. “Krithi has sparked a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic Society CEO Jill Tiefenthaler. “By combining science, education, and community partnership, she is redefining how people live in harmony with nature, and what conservation can achieve for communities and young people.” Next, Karanth wants to apply her ideas outside India, cultivating an international crop of environmental stewards — or even just empathetic neighbors. “Having a set of people who at least tolerate the presence of a large animal,” she says, “is a massive victory.” 24. What made Karanth the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year? A. Stopping elephants destroying crops. B. Protecting people from dangerous animals. C. Participating in saving wildlife personally. D. Improving the bond between man and wildlife. 25. What paradox is Karanth faced with? A. Indians dislike living alongside wild animals. B. India is crowded with too many wild species. C. India lacks sufficient resources for its people. D. Indians and animals compete for living space. 26. Why did Karanth launch these conservation programs across India? A. To help people co-exist with wild animals. B. To free kids from the threat from animals. C. To inform farmers of the loss-claiming process. D. To convince people to establish wildlife reserves. 27. What is the key to success in Karanth’s conservation work? A. Having a global vision. B. Reforming education policies. C. Earning people’s support. D. Prioritizing human interests. C The Amazon rainforest may be shifting from a massive carbon sink to a net carbon emitter. Since 1985, human activity has destroyed more than 10% of the Amazon's forest cover, releasing substantial amounts of CO2 previously sequestered in trees and soil. Deforestation through fires releases 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, driving climate warming. Vegetation changes alter atmospheric composition, surface reflectivity, and cloud properties, which can either intensify or slow warming. The replacement of dark forest cover by brighter grasses increases surface reflectivity, leading to more reflection of solar radiation, though weaker than in snow-covered regions. Among these, how clouds respond to forest loss remains the least understood. Previous studies on cloud cover yielded conflicting results: some reported reductions after deforestation, while others reported increases. This difference arises from strong regional and seasonal variations. Notably, prior studies examined long-term associations rather than immediate deforestation impacts such as fire aerosols. To resolve this, Dror and Feingold analyzed two decades of MODIS and CERES satellite data, comparing deforested regions with nearby undisturbed areas. Their findings reveal that cloud cover rises systematically with deforestation year-round,peaking during the dry season. In areas where forest loss surpassed 50%, cloud cover grew by 3.1% on average,reaching 5.1% in the most heavily cleared zones. Moreover, cloud tops sat at lower altitudes over cleared lands. These low-altitude clouds enhanced reflection of incoming solar radiation rather than trapping outgoing heat. The resulting cooling effect from this cloud increase proved at least twice as strong as that from surface reflectivity changes alone. While increased cloudiness thus reduces part of the CO2-driven warming, other factors like non-CO2 greenhouse gases remain uncertain. and aerosols such as methane and ozone remain uncertain, with either warming or cooling effects through complex pathways. Current evidence suggests that even combined biophysical effects cannot fully cancel out the warming. Therefore, maintaining and restoring Amazon forest cover remains essential for climate protection. 28. What does the underlined word“sequestered” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Stored. B. Produced. C. Released. D. Transformed. 29. How did Dror and Feingold carry out their study? A. By measuring CO2 levels in heavily cleared forest areas. B. By conducting ground surveys of vegetation in Amazon areas. C. By analyzing seasonal rainfall patterns across Amazon regions. D. By comparing satellite data between cleared and undisturbed areas. 30. What accounts for the stronger cooling effect over cleared lands? A. Greater ground reflectivity from grasses. B. More trapping of outgoing heat by low clouds. C. Higher altitude of cloud tops over cleared lands. D. Lower cloud tops reflecting more solar radiation. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Cloud feedback alone stabilizes climate. B. Future drying will enhance cloud cooling. C. Biophysical factors lead to ineffective results. D. Forest restoration is essential despite partial cooling. D At 56, I am beginning to feel the physical effects of ageing. I won’t bore you with the details, but none of them is great fun. Yet researchers now suggest that one of the most damaging effects may not be physical at all. It may begin with how people come to see ageing itself. They call it internalised ageism: the tendency to hold negative expectations about one’s own health simply because of age. When older adults are repeatedly assumed to be slow, forgetful, or incapable of learning, such ideas do not always stay outside them. Over time, they can become part of how people see themselves. Once that happens, behaviour may change: a person who expects decline may exercise less, pay less attention to diet, and treat every sign of weakness as proof of something worse. Research shows that internalised ageism can affect how people age. A Harvard study found that older adults with the most positive views showed slower physical and mental decline and kept healthier habits than those with the most negative views. Crucially, researchers ruled out the simpler explanation — poor health did not simply cause pessimism. Instead, a person’s attitude at the start predicted how their health changed over time. Becca Levy at YaleSchool of Public Health found further support: among people over 65 with mild memory problems, those with a positive outlook were far more likely to recover. Her research also shows that such negative thinking generates over three million extra disease cases in the US each year, at a combined cost of over eleven billion dollars. Yet internalised ageism doesn’t just come from within. Negative images of older people spread through the media, advertising, and even the advice of medical professionals. Because these messages appear so naturally in daily life, they are seldom questioned. By the time most people notice them, they have already taken root. A partial answer exists. Research shows attitudes towards ageing can shift through positive messages. But changing deeply held beliefs takes generations, as the long struggle against racial prejudice shows. I’m not going to let it get me down. Instead, I’m going to try to make my own ageing process great fun. 32. What is the root cause of internalized ageism? A. Less attention to exercise and diet. B. Gradual loss of learning capability. C. Constant fear over physical decline. D. Repeated exposure to age prejudice. 33. What can we learn about ageing from the Harvard study? A. Attitude affects the rate of ageing. B. Pessimism results from faster ageing. C. Mindset alone defines ageing process. D. Healthy habits promise slower ageing. 34. Why is internalised ageism hard to change? A. Its roots take time to appear. B. It is backed by professionals. C. Its sources are widely varied. D. It is established as a social norm. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Age Prejudice: A Long Battle for Society B. The Elderly: A Group Misunderstood by Society C. Social Messages: A Silent Force Behind Age Bias D. Negative Expectations: A Hidden Threat in Ageing 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Within the scientific community, dreams are still something of a mystery. However, improvements in brain imaging and recent physiological studies have brought us one step closer to answering the question of why some people remember their dreams more than others. ____36____ Gender ____37____ Researchers arent exactly sure why, but Barrett says it could be a biological or hormonal difference. Barrett notes that differences between men and women in regard to dream recall are“modest” and that there are greater differences within each gender than between the genders. Age As we get older, it often gets harder to recall our dreams. Your ability to remember dreams improves in late childhood and adolescence, and tends to peak in your twenties, Barrett says____38____ However, there are exceptions,and people sometimes experience the opposite. Amount of sleep The amount of sleep one gets is one of the most important factors. ____39____ However, those rapid eye movement periods get longer throughout the night, meaning that you’re doing the most dreaming toward the morning generally right before you wake up. Brain activity Thanks to brain imaging, scientists now have a better idea of which parts of the brain are associated with dreaming. A part of the brain that processes information and emotions is more active in people who remember their dreams more often. ____40____ In turn, this may promote something called intrasleep (睡眠期间) wakefulness. If you don’t remember anything, Barrett says it's still helpful to assess how you feel when you first awaken. “Sometimes if you just stay with whatever emotion you woke up with,” she says, “a dream will come rushing back.” A. Dr. Deirdre Barrett shared a few of the factors. B. Women, on average, recall more dreams than men. C. So what can you do to help you remember your dreams? D. This region may help people pay more attention to external cues. E. Similarly, the “high recallers” tend to exhibit more brain activity. F. After that point, people often experience a gradual drop-off in dream recall. G. People dream every 90 minutes during the rapid eye movement sleep cycle. 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Holly Smith was a 19-year-old girl when she boarded a plane at New York’s Airport.

I was the only one in my class who didn’t sign up for the school’s Creative Project Day. While my deskmate Lily stayed up late making her hand-painted storybook and the boys in the back row argued over their DIY craft models, I just sat quietly in my seat, staring at the blank sign-up sheet. Hands-on projects weren’t my thing. Last year, I tried making a paper volcano for Creative Project Day, but it collapsed and spilled paint everywhere. That failed creative attempt made me even more hesitant to sign up this year. Then Ms. Lee, our science teacher, stopped by my desk. “Clara, the Creative Project Day is all about curiosity, not perfection,” she said softly. “What’s something you love, something you could talk about for hours?” I thought for a moment. “Books,” I said quietly, unsure of myself. “I love stories.” Ms. Lee smiled. “Then why not turn that into a project?” That night, I lay awake, thinking. I loved the school library, but I’d noticed that many younger students didn’t visit it often. They said the books were “boring” or “too hard”. What if I could change that? I began to form a plan for the Creative Project Day — creating a Story Corner in the library, with picture books and short stories, and even recording audio versions of some stories for kids who struggled to read. I felt a brief thrill run through me — until I thought about all the work ahead. These tasks, which were key to my project, confused me: I had no idea how to organize the corner in a neat and orderly way, how to use simple tech tools to record audio, or even how to ask Ms. Henderson, the librarian, for permission. Worse, what if no one cared? What if I failed again, just like with the volcano? But I finally decided to give it a try. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I found myself standing outside the library, hesitating. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Creative Project Day, my Story Corner became a huge success. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
