A
The British Museum, in London, recently planned to make digital(数字的) copies of all the objects it keeps. The project to deal with about 8 million objects will take five years. The reason for this is that the museum said in August that about 2, 000 objects had been stolen or missing.
The museum is one of the busiest in the world. It holds objects such as the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles — known as the Elgin Marbles — and ancient stones and jewelry(珠宝).
The leader, or chair of the museum, is George Osborne. He recently told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament that he believed a person who worked at the museum was responsible. Osborne called it “an inside job by someone who the museum had put trust in.” He said the person took objects from the museum little by little.
The museum’s manager at the time was German art historian Hartwig Fischer. Fischer left the job in August after serving since 2016. He said he must be responsible for the thefts(盗窃) in the end. He added the museum did not react as it should have when concerns first came up that someone had been stealing.
The museum head said about 350 of the 2, 000 objects have been found and are in the process of being returned. Stolen objects included gold rings, earrings and other jewelry from the ancient Greek and Roman times.
The manager of the museum at present is Mark Jones. He said the museum is confident “that a theft of this kind can never happen again.” Jones added that one way to improve the museum’s safety is to show more objects to the public instead of, as he said, “simply locking objects away.”
In September, the museum asked for help in finding the missing objects. The organization offered a phone number for people to call if they had information.
21. Who stole the objects according to George Osborne?
A. A visitor B. An artist. C. An art dealer. D. A museum worker.
22. Why did Hartwig Fischer feel sorry about the missing objects?
A. He shouldn’t have trusted any worker. B. He didn’t deal with the stealing in time.
C. He did not notice objects were missing. D. He shouldn’t have shown valuable objects.
23. What does Mark Jones want to do to protect their objects?
A. Lock their objects away. B. Call on the public to help.
C. Make more objects known. D. Keep visitors away from objects.
B
Lila Marquez gently places a tiny wild goose with an injured wing into a soft cotton box. “Take it easy, little Dewdrop,” she whispers, adjusting the warm lamp above the box. For the past eight years, the retired biology teacher’s balcony in Buenos Aires has been a safe haven for injured or abandoned wild geese. With her careful care, more than 200 geese have regained strength and returned to the nearby wetlands.
Lila’s journey with wild geese began in 2015, two years after her husband passed away. She felt lost and lonely until one rainy afternoon, when she found a weak gosling trembling under a tree — its wing broken by a stray cat. “I couldn’t leave it there,” Lila recalls. She named the gosling Dewdrop and spent weeks nursing it back to health: feeding it nutrient-rich goose feed, cleaning its wound daily, and teaching it to swim in a small basin. As Dewdrop grew stronger, Lila found joy she hadn’t felt in years. “That little goose gave me a reason to get up every morning,” she says.
Soon, neighbors and passersby started bringing her injured wild geese — some with broken legs, others weakened by pollution or hunger. Lila dug into her old biology textbooks and searched online for goose care tips. A local vet even offered free advice to help her improve her nursing skills. Last year, a student posted a video of Lila feeding the geese on Instagram, and it quickly went viral with over 800,000 views. People from nearby areas began donating goose feed and medical supplies.
Yet the wild geese still face great plight in the city. The wetlands they depend on are shrinking due to urban construction; stray animals and water pollution pose constant risks. But Lila never loses hope. She has started a small community group to plant native water plants and advocate for wetland protection. “Caring for these geese isn’t just about saving them,” she says. “It’s about reminding people that we share this city with all living things.”
Every time a healed goose flies off to the wetlands, Lila stands on her balcony, watching proudly. For her, these geese are more than just rescued creatures — they are symbols of comfort, hope, and the power of small acts of kindness.
24. What can we learn about Dewdrop from the text?
A. It stayed with Lila for eight years.
B. It was the reason Lila retired from teaching.
C. It helped Lila get out of loneliness.
D. It became famous on social media for its story.
25. Why does the author mention the facts of a local vet and people from nearby areas in Para 3?
A. To prove Lila’s kind act inspired people around her to join in.
B. To show Lila was good at making friends with local people.
C. To explain how Lila learned professional nursing skills for geese.
D. To describe the development of the local animal protection industry.
26. Which words best describe Lila according to the text?
A. Kind-hearted and determined.
B. Humorous and creative.
C. Brave and ambitious.
D. Honest and outgoing.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lila and Wild Geese: Protection and Research
B. Lila and Wild Geese: Rescue and Comfort
C. Lila and Wild Geese: Friendship and Adventure
D. Lila and Wild Geese: Survival and Success
C
There are careers in popular music which proceed in a straight, glittering line, and there are others which are tested in fierce fire before they attain their full reputation. Lady Gaga belongs unmistakably to the latter order. To regard her merely as a provider of marvellous performances is to mistake the lightning for the storm. Behind the masks, the stunning concerts, and the uproar of fame, there has long stood a woman of uncommon endurance, who has had to earn, more than once, the right to remain herself.
The gravest trial of her middle career came with ARTPOP, issued in 2013, a record born with extravagant ambition and fashioned in ignorance of ordinary taste. Yet, though it opened strongly, it did not win the unanimous applause that had delivered her earlier triumphs. In time, Gaga herself spoke of that season as one of desolation. She recalled becoming deeply depressed, worn out by conflict, and haunted by a sadness so heavy that, in her own description, she could scarcely feel the beat of her heart. On another occasion, reflecting on the same period, she confessed that she had not wished to sing any more. Such words, from an artist built so visibly for the stage, carry the chill of true torture.
It was then that Tony Bennett entered not merely as a collaborator, but as a rescuer of the spirit. Their partnership on Cheek to Cheek did more than widen her range of music talents; it restored to her a simpler faith in music itself. Bennett, by her own repeated witnesses, wanted nothing from her but her friendship and her voice. In an industry governed by appetite, calculation, and noise, such generosity must have seemed almost antique. That an elder statesman of song could steady a younger artist at the brink of inward collapse is one of the more moving episodes in recent musical history. Gaga would say, with no hint of theatrical excess, he had saved her life.
What followed is the true measure of her greatness. She did not vanish into self-pity, nor did she allow one grievous chapter to define the remainder of her story. She worked, adapted, sang in new idioms, acted, endured, and returned. Most touching of all, perhaps, was the reconciliation that came in the summer of 2025, when The Mayhem Ball restored ARTPOP songs such as Aura and Applause to her live stage after years of her refusal to play them. It was not only a set-list alteration; it was an act of artistic pardon. She had gone back to the wounded province of her own past and lit it, at last, with acceptance.
For this reason Lady Gaga deserves admiration beyond fashion or fandom (饭圈). She has shown that greatness in art lies not in never falling, but in returning from humiliation with one’s voice enlarged, one’s dignity protected, and one’s courage made visible to the world.
28. What made Gaga’s ARTPOP period especially painful?
A. Public reduction of her work to mere display.
B. Mental strain caused by conflict and sorrow.
C. Fading praise, mental collapse, refusal to sing.
D. Weakening and saddened belief in music.
29. What was Tony Bennett’s greatest importance to Gaga?
A. Renewal of her trust in song. B. Enlargement of her artistic scope.
C. Repair of her public standing. D. Escape from a calculating profession.
30. What gave Gaga’s 2025 return to ARTPOP songs its special meaning?
A. Recovery of a once-failed record.
B. Recognition of overdue public acceptance.
C. Peace with a painful career experience.
D. Correction of critical opinion on the album.
31. What is the main focus of the passage?
A. The burden of fame in pop culture.
B. The healing force of artistic companionship.
C. The later defence of a troubled album.
D. The greatness of persistence through failure.
D
Like a literal breath of fresh air, so-called “micro-forests” represent a green practice, boosting the quality of life in many of the world’s polluted and overcrowded urban centers.
These small areas of densely (稠密地) planted woodland trees, also known as mini-forests or pocket forests, allow communities to manage the effects of climate change in a small way, but offer enormous benefits to the environment and local people, as they restore soil, air and water quality. These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality.
Significantly, mini-forests, as one of their nonprofit facilitators SUGi outlines, serve to build social bonds in communities as well, as they come together to enjoy and sustain new natural settings. They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance.
According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces.
Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022. Their plots are made up of 600 trees. A tree-planting program aiming to restore biodiversity and reintroduce native species, SUGi, has created 230 pocket forests in 52 cities around the world, from Toulouse in France, to Madrid in Spain, and Saint George in Romania.
32. What does the underlined word “magnet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Something artificial. B. Something simplified.
C. Something innovative. D. Something appealing.
33. How do micro-forests benefit a city according to the text?
A. They reduce traffic jams. B. They improve urban land use.
C. They popularize sports activities. D. They ensure citizens’ privacy.
34. What is the data in paragraph 4 intended to stress?
A. The fast pace of urbanization. B. The need to control populations.
C. The importance of micro-forests, D. The harm caused by deforestation.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Plans to further promote micro-forests. B. Benefits of sustaining micro-forests.
C. Examples of creating micro-forests in cities. D. Policies about micro-forest preservation.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One week, we participated in a program that aimed to bring students fun and also strengthen their courage. On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way.
After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool.
We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel.
To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank.
I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side.
Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water.
“Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses.
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。
I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel.

W: Thank you!
M: So your biggest hit was “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” in 1982. What do you like about rock and roll?
W: It’s a feeling, an emotion. You don’t think about it. If you start thinking about rock ‘n’ roll, you won’t get it. That’s when it gets boring.

M: Three of your albums hit the Top 20 — “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”, “Album”, and “Up Your Alley”. But you also covered other artists’ songs, right?
W: Yeah, Gary Glitter, Tommy James, Sly and the Family Stone...They couldn’t figure out what we were doing, but they liked it.
M: Your attitude and choices are a major influence on other female rockers.
W: I’m not done yet. Stay tuned. I can still get on stage, play the guitar, and sing!

【原文】Dear Simon, it was great to see you again on Saturday. I knew we would have a lot to talk about, but even so, I had never expected that we would talk for four hours non-stop. It reminded me of when we first met in Mr. Carrol’s class at Waterfold High. Anyway, I’m sending you this letter because I forgot to mention something on Saturday. My sister Ivy is having a birthday party next month, and she told me to ask if you would like to come. I think you might want to be there because it’ll be held at our local golf club, and I know how much you love golf. It should be a good party. There will be plenty of flowers, food, and a disco if you feel like dancing. We might also have time for a quick game of golf, but if it rains, there is a pool table we could use. Let me know if you are interested in coming to the party. Don’t worry about bringing Ivy an expensive gift. I’m sure she’ll be happy with just a box of chocolates. I hope to see you again soon.
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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The British Museum, in London, recently planned to make digital(数字的) copies of all the objects it keeps. The project to deal with about 8 million objects will take five years. The reason for this is that the museum said in August that about 2, 000 objects had been stolen or missing.
The museum is one of the busiest in the world. It holds objects such as the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles — known as the Elgin Marbles — and ancient stones and jewelry(珠宝).
The leader, or chair of the museum, is George Osborne. He recently told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament that he believed a person who worked at the museum was responsible. Osborne called it “an inside job by someone who the museum had put trust in.” He said the person took objects from the museum little by little.
The museum’s manager at the time was German art historian Hartwig Fischer. Fischer left the job in August after serving since 2016. He said he must be responsible for the thefts(盗窃) in the end. He added the museum did not react as it should have when concerns first came up that someone had been stealing.
The museum head said about 350 of the 2, 000 objects have been found and are in the process of being returned. Stolen objects included gold rings, earrings and other jewelry from the ancient Greek and Roman times.
The manager of the museum at present is Mark Jones. He said the museum is confident “that a theft of this kind can never happen again.” Jones added that one way to improve the museum’s safety is to show more objects to the public instead of, as he said, “simply locking objects away.”
In September, the museum asked for help in finding the missing objects. The organization offered a phone number for people to call if they had information.
21. Who stole the objects according to George Osborne?
A. A visitor B. An artist. C. An art dealer. D. A museum worker.
22. Why did Hartwig Fischer feel sorry about the missing objects?
A. He shouldn’t have trusted any worker. B. He didn’t deal with the stealing in time.
C. He did not notice objects were missing. D. He shouldn’t have shown valuable objects.
23. What does Mark Jones want to do to protect their objects?
A. Lock their objects away. B. Call on the public to help.
C. Make more objects known. D. Keep visitors away from objects.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了英国博物馆的一些藏品被盗,博物馆负责人的反应以及他们的应对措施。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He recently told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament that he believed a person who worked at the museum was responsible. Osborne called it “an inside job by someone who the museum had put trust in.” He said the person took objects from the museum little by little.”(他最近告诉议会文化、媒体和体育委员会,他认为博物馆的一名工作人员应对此事负责。奥斯本称这是“博物馆信任的某个人的内部工作”。他说,这个人一点一点地从博物馆里拿走了东西。)可知,乔治•奥斯本说是博物馆的一个工作人员偷了这些东西。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“He said he must be responsible for the thefts(盗窃) in the end. He added the museum did not react as it should have when concerns first came up that someone had been stealing.”(他说他最终必须对这些盗窃案负责。他补充说,当人们第一次担心有人在偷窃时,博物馆没有做出应有的反应。)可知,哈特威格•费舍尔对丢失的物品感到抱歉是因为他没有及时处理盗窃现象。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Jones added that one way to improve the museum’s safety is to show more objects to the public instead of, as he said, “simply locking objects away.”(琼斯补充说,提高博物馆安全性的一种方法是向公众展示更多的物品,像他所说的,而不是“简单地把物品锁起来”。)可知,马克•琼斯想通过展示更多的物品来保护它们。故选C。
B
Lila Marquez gently places a tiny wild goose with an injured wing into a soft cotton box. “Take it easy, little Dewdrop,” she whispers, adjusting the warm lamp above the box. For the past eight years, the retired biology teacher’s balcony in Buenos Aires has been a safe haven for injured or abandoned wild geese. With her careful care, more than 200 geese have regained strength and returned to the nearby wetlands.
Lila’s journey with wild geese began in 2015, two years after her husband passed away. She felt lost and lonely until one rainy afternoon, when she found a weak gosling trembling under a tree — its wing broken by a stray cat. “I couldn’t leave it there,” Lila recalls. She named the gosling Dewdrop and spent weeks nursing it back to health: feeding it nutrient-rich goose feed, cleaning its wound daily, and teaching it to swim in a small basin. As Dewdrop grew stronger, Lila found joy she hadn’t felt in years. “That little goose gave me a reason to get up every morning,” she says.
Soon, neighbors and passersby started bringing her injured wild geese — some with broken legs, others weakened by pollution or hunger. Lila dug into her old biology textbooks and searched online for goose care tips. A local vet even offered free advice to help her improve her nursing skills. Last year, a student posted a video of Lila feeding the geese on Instagram, and it quickly went viral with over 800,000 views. People from nearby areas began donating goose feed and medical supplies.
Yet the wild geese still face great plight in the city. The wetlands they depend on are shrinking due to urban construction; stray animals and water pollution pose constant risks. But Lila never loses hope. She has started a small community group to plant native water plants and advocate for wetland protection. “Caring for these geese isn’t just about saving them,” she says. “It’s about reminding people that we share this city with all living things.”
Every time a healed goose flies off to the wetlands, Lila stands on her balcony, watching proudly. For her, these geese are more than just rescued creatures — they are symbols of comfort, hope, and the power of small acts of kindness.
24. What can we learn about Dewdrop from the text?
A. It stayed with Lila for eight years.
B. It was the reason Lila retired from teaching.
C. It helped Lila get out of loneliness.
D. It became famous on social media for its story.
25. Why does the author mention the facts of a local vet and people from nearby areas in Para 3?
A. To prove Lila’s kind act inspired people around her to join in.
B. To show Lila was good at making friends with local people.
C. To explain how Lila learned professional nursing skills for geese.
D. To describe the development of the local animal protection industry.
26. Which words best describe Lila according to the text?
A. Kind-hearted and determined.
B. Humorous and creative.
C. Brave and ambitious.
D. Honest and outgoing.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lila and Wild Geese: Protection and Research
B. Lila and Wild Geese: Rescue and Comfort
C. Lila and Wild Geese: Friendship and Adventure
D. Lila and Wild Geese: Survival and Success
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了退休教师Lila救助受伤野鹅的故事,展现了她用善意抚慰心灵并唤起社区环保意识的历程。

细节理解题。根据第二段“She felt lost and lonely until one rainy afternoon, when she found a weak gosling trembling under a tree — its wing broken by a stray cat. (她感到迷茫和孤独,直到一个雨天的下午,她发现一只翅膀被流浪猫打断的虚弱小鹅在树下颤抖。)”以及“As Dewdrop grew stronger, Lila found joy she hadn’t felt in years. (随着小露珠变得强壮,Lila找到了多年来未曾感受到的快乐。)”可知,这只名为Dewdrop的小鹅帮助Lila走出了丈夫去世后的孤独。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A local vet even offered free advice to help her improve her nursing skills. (当地兽医甚至免费提供建议帮助她提高护理技能。)”以及“People from nearby areas began donating goose feed and medical supplies. (附近地区的人们开始捐赠鹅饲料和医疗用品。)”可知,作者列举兽医提供专业建议和民众捐赠物资的事实,是为了证明Lila的善行感染了身边的人,激励大家共同参与救助。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For the past eight years, the retired biology teacher’s balcony in Buenos Aires has been a safe haven for injured or abandoned wild geese. (在过去的八年里,这位退休生物教师在布宜诺斯艾利斯的阳台一直是受伤或被遗弃野鹅的避风港。)”可知她心地善良;根据第四段“But Lila never loses hope. She has started a small community group to plant native water plants and advocate for wetland protection. (但Lila从未失去希望。她成立了一个小型社区小组,种植本地水生植物并倡导湿地保护。)”可知她意志坚定。A选项“善良且坚定的”最能描述Lila。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章前半部分主要讲述Lila救助受伤野鹅,如第一段所述“With her careful care, more than 200 geese have regained strength and returned to the nearby wetlands. (在她的悉心照料下,200多只鹅恢复了体力并返回附近的湿地。)”;后半部分强调这些小生命治愈了她内心的孤独,给予她安慰,正如最后一段所述“these geese are more than just rescued creatures — they are symbols of comfort, hope, and the power of small acts of kindness. (这些鹅不仅仅是被救的生物——它们是安慰、希望以及微小善举力量的象征。)”。B项“Lila与野鹅:救助与慰藉”最能概括文章核心,适合作为标题。
C
There are careers in popular music which proceed in a straight, glittering line, and there are others which are tested in fierce fire before they attain their full reputation. Lady Gaga belongs unmistakably to the latter order. To regard her merely as a provider of marvellous performances is to mistake the lightning for the storm. Behind the masks, the stunning concerts, and the uproar of fame, there has long stood a woman of uncommon endurance, who has had to earn, more than once, the right to remain herself.
The gravest trial of her middle career came with ARTPOP, issued in 2013, a record born with extravagant ambition and fashioned in ignorance of ordinary taste. Yet, though it opened strongly, it did not win the unanimous applause that had delivered her earlier triumphs. In time, Gaga herself spoke of that season as one of desolation. She recalled becoming deeply depressed, worn out by conflict, and haunted by a sadness so heavy that, in her own description, she could scarcely feel the beat of her heart. On another occasion, reflecting on the same period, she confessed that she had not wished to sing any more. Such words, from an artist built so visibly for the stage, carry the chill of true torture.
It was then that Tony Bennett entered not merely as a collaborator, but as a rescuer of the spirit. Their partnership on Cheek to Cheek did more than widen her range of music talents; it restored to her a simpler faith in music itself. Bennett, by her own repeated witnesses, wanted nothing from her but her friendship and her voice. In an industry governed by appetite, calculation, and noise, such generosity must have seemed almost antique. That an elder statesman of song could steady a younger artist at the brink of inward collapse is one of the more moving episodes in recent musical history. Gaga would say, with no hint of theatrical excess, he had saved her life.
What followed is the true measure of her greatness. She did not vanish into self-pity, nor did she allow one grievous chapter to define the remainder of her story. She worked, adapted, sang in new idioms, acted, endured, and returned. Most touching of all, perhaps, was the reconciliation that came in the summer of 2025, when The Mayhem Ball restored ARTPOP songs such as Aura and Applause to her live stage after years of her refusal to play them. It was not only a set-list alteration; it was an act of artistic pardon. She had gone back to the wounded province of her own past and lit it, at last, with acceptance.
For this reason Lady Gaga deserves admiration beyond fashion or fandom (饭圈). She has shown that greatness in art lies not in never falling, but in returning from humiliation with one’s voice enlarged, one’s dignity protected, and one’s courage made visible to the world.
28. What made Gaga’s ARTPOP period especially painful?
A. Public reduction of her work to mere display.
B. Mental strain caused by conflict and sorrow.
C. Fading praise, mental collapse, refusal to sing.
D. Weakening and saddened belief in music.
29. What was Tony Bennett’s greatest importance to Gaga?
A. Renewal of her trust in song. B. Enlargement of her artistic scope.
C. Repair of her public standing. D. Escape from a calculating profession.
30. What gave Gaga’s 2025 return to ARTPOP songs its special meaning?
A. Recovery of a once-failed record.
B. Recognition of overdue public acceptance.
C. Peace with a painful career experience.
D. Correction of critical opinion on the album.
31. What is the main focus of the passage?
A. The burden of fame in pop culture.
B. The healing force of artistic companionship.
C. The later defence of a troubled album.
D. The greatness of persistence through failure.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Lady Gaga在艺术生涯中历经挫折后坚持并取得伟大成就的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The gravest trial of her middle career came with ARTPOP, issued in 2013, a record born with extravagant ambition and fashioned in ignorance of ordinary taste. Yet, though it opened strongly, it did not win the unanimous applause that had delivered her earlier triumphs.(她职业生涯中期遭遇的最大考验,来自 2013 年发行的《ARTPOP》专辑。这张作品怀揣着极致宏大的野心,创作风格全然不顾大众世俗审美。 尽管专辑开局势头强劲,却没能收获像她早期作品那般万众一致的赞誉与满堂喝彩。)”和“In time, Gaga herself spoke of that season as one of desolation. She recalled becoming deeply depressed, worn out by conflict, and haunted by a sadness so heavy that, in her own description, she could scarcely feel the beat of her heart. On another occasion, reflecting on the same period, she confessed that she had not wished to sing any more.(后来,Gaga自己将那个时期描述为荒凉。她回忆起自己变得极度沮丧,被冲突耗尽,被一种沉重的悲伤所困扰,用她自己的话说,她几乎感觉不到自己的心跳。在另一个场合,回顾同一时期,她承认自己不想再唱歌了。)”可知,Gaga的《ARTPOP》时期尤其痛苦是因为赞誉消退、精神崩溃、拒绝唱歌。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was then that Tony Bennett entered not merely as a collaborator, but as a rescuer of the spirit. Their partnership on Cheek to Cheek did more than widen her range of music talents; it restored to her a simpler faith in music itself.(就在这时,Tony Bennett走进了她的生活,他不仅是合作搭档,更是治愈她心灵的救赎者。两人合作的专辑《Cheek to Cheek》,不仅拓宽了她的音乐天赋边界,更让她重新找回了对音乐纯粹的信仰。)”可知,Tony Bennett对Gaga最大的重要性是让她重新信任歌曲。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Most touching of all, perhaps, was the reconciliation that came in the summer of 2025, when The Mayhem Ball restored ARTPOP songs such as Aura and Applause to her live stage after years of her refusal to play them. It was not only a set-list alteration; it was an act of artistic pardon. She had gone back to the wounded province of her own past and lit it, at last, with acceptance.(也许最令人感动的是,2025年夏天,在《The Mayhem Ball》上,她拒绝演奏多年的《ARTPOP》中的歌曲,如《Aura》和《Applause》,重新回到了她的现场舞台。这不仅仅是一次曲目更改,更是一种艺术上的宽恕。她回到了自己过去受伤的领域,最终用接受照亮了它。)”可知,2025年重新演唱旧作,象征她与这段痛苦的职业经历达成和解。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“For this reason Lady Gaga deserves admiration beyond fashion or fandom (饭圈). She has shown that greatness in art lies not in never falling, but in returning from humiliation with one’s voice enlarged, one’s dignity protected, and one’s courage made visible to the world.(因此,Lady Gaga值得人们超越时尚或粉丝圈的钦佩。她已经表明,艺术的伟大不在于从不跌倒,而在于从屈辱中归来,声音更加洪亮,尊严得到保护,勇气让全世界看到。)”可知,文章讲述Lady Gaga遭遇事业挫败与精神低谷,不沉溺自怜、坚持成长并与过往和解,诠释历经失败仍坚守初心、坚韧重生的伟大。

Like a literal breath of fresh air, so-called “micro-forests” represent a green practice, boosting the quality of life in many of the world’s polluted and overcrowded urban centers.
These small areas of densely (稠密地) planted woodland trees, also known as mini-forests or pocket forests, allow communities to manage the effects of climate change in a small way, but offer enormous benefits to the environment and local people, as they restore soil, air and water quality. These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality.
Significantly, mini-forests, as one of their nonprofit facilitators SUGi outlines, serve to build social bonds in communities as well, as they come together to enjoy and sustain new natural settings. They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance.
According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces.
Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022. Their plots are made up of 600 trees. A tree-planting program aiming to restore biodiversity and reintroduce native species, SUGi, has created 230 pocket forests in 52 cities around the world, from Toulouse in France, to Madrid in Spain, and Saint George in Romania.
32. What does the underlined word “magnet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Something artificial. B. Something simplified.
C. Something innovative. D. Something appealing.
33. How do micro-forests benefit a city according to the text?
A. They reduce traffic jams. B. They improve urban land use.
C. They popularize sports activities. D. They ensure citizens’ privacy.
34. What is the data in paragraph 4 intended to stress?
A. The fast pace of urbanization. B. The need to control populations.
C. The importance of micro-forests, D. The harm caused by deforestation.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Plans to further promote micro-forests. B. Benefits of sustaining micro-forests.
C. Examples of creating micro-forests in cities. D. Policies about micro-forest preservation.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“微型森林”作为绿色实践对城市环境和居民生活的益处。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality. (事实证明,这些迷你森林对各种动植物物种是magnet,为人类提供了更多了解自然的机会。随着时间的推移,它们神奇地实现了自我维持,成为重塑城市生活的一种方式。)”并结合选项可知,这些小森林吸引了很多动植物物种,所以能为人类提供了更多了解自然的机会,所以magnet在这里的意思是“有吸引力的东西”。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance. (例如,它们还可以改造和美化城市中被忽视的地块,如以前的篮球场、废弃的停车场和游乐场。)”可知,微型森林可以改善城市土地利用。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces. (根据联合国2020年《世界森林状况报告》,自1990年以来,超过4.4亿公顷的森林被用于其他用途。如今,全球一半以上的人口居住在城市地区,但接触绿色空间的机会有限。好消息是,城市中的微型森林可以为对抗森林砍伐和扩大绿色空间提供重要机会。)”可知,第四段中的数据旨在强调微型森林的重要性。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022.

Being able to use your initiative is an important skill to have because it benefits you in lots of ways. ____36____
Using your initiative means helping out or solving a problem without being told or asked to do it. ____37____ This could be getting started with your work at school before the teacher tells you to, or noticing that your friend is struggling with schoolwork and offering to help.
When you take the initiative, you practise making decisions and seeing the results of your solutions. This can build confidence and self-belief, which is linked to better learning and wellbeing. ____38____ All of these things help you to be more independent as you get older.

A. It limits your contact with classmates.
B. It can also improve problem-solving skills.
C. You act when you see something that needs doing.
D. Besides, many of you worry about making mistakes.

空格前“Like anything new, using your initiative might feel hard at first. Young people live in a world where many decisions are made for you by the grown-ups, so deciding to do something on your own can feel scary. (像任何新事物一样,一开始发挥主动性可能会很难。年轻人生活在一个由成年人替你做很多决定的世界里,所以自己决定做某事可能会让人感到害怕。) ”提到发挥主动性的困难之一是“害怕自己做决定”。D选项“Besides, many of you worry about making mistakes.(此外,你们中的很多人担心犯错。)”中的“Besides”承接前文“害怕自己做决定”的困难,进一步补充了“担心犯错”这一另一个常见顾虑,与前文形成递进关系,全面说明了发挥主动性初期的心理障碍,逻辑顺畅。
【40题详解】
空格前“Try something small first. (先从小事做起。)”给出了发挥主动性的建议。F选项“Success with small steps builds confidence for bigger challenges. (小步骤的成功能为更大的挑战建立信心。)”承接前文“先从小事做起”的建议,进一步解释了“从小事做起”的好处——通过小成功积累信心,为后续应对更大挑战做准备,与后文“Focus on effort rather than outcomes (关注努力而非结果)”的观点形成呼应。

【解析】
【导语】主要讲述了生活在浙江杭州的Mei,从高中时开始接触钩编,将其从爱好发展为全职事业的故事,同时还展现了当下中国年轻人通过拥抱 “老派生活” 来平衡现代快节奏生活的趋势。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Mei 住在浙江省杭州市,她仍然珍视自己的第一件钩编作品:一个蓝色的杯垫,是她在高中时,在一位年长朋友的指导下制作的。be based in为固定短语,意为“以……为基地,住在”,此处用过去分词based作后置定语,修饰Mei。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:Mei 住在浙江省杭州市,她仍然珍视自己的第一件钩编作品:一个蓝色的杯垫,是她在高中时,在一位年长朋友的指导下制作的。空前有介词with,此处应用名词guidance,with guidance from...意为“在……的指导下”。
【58题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:七年前只是一个简单的爱好,如今已发展成为一份全职事业。此处为连接词引导的主语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……的事物”,所以用连接代词What,注意首字母大写。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:钩编,一种自然缓慢的工艺,是将零碎的东西编织在一起,尽管这个世界带来了持续的焦虑,但它能给人们带来平静。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为Crochet,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在社交媒体上以“清整墨仔”为网名的Mei,代表了中国年轻人中一股日益兴起的潮流,他们通过接受 “老派生活” 来平衡现代生活的快节奏。此处为非谓语动词作目的状语,应用动词不定式to balance,表示目的是平衡现代生活的快节奏。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:这种理念涵盖了手工艺、食物和个人仪式,形成了一种全面的生活方式。approach to为固定搭配,意为“……的方法,……的方式”,所以此处用介词to。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:同样,到目前为止,与钩编相关的内容在小红书和抖音等平台上已经吸引了数十亿的浏览量。根据时间状语“to date”可知,此处应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语content是不可数名词,所以用has attracted。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:作为一名前时装设计专业的学生,Mei在大学期间觉得钩编很有挑战性,相关课程的成绩也很差。find +宾语+形容词为固定结构,此处用形容词challenging作宾语补足语,意为“有挑战性的”。
【64题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:“但钩编教会了我如何一步一个脚印。无论任务有多重,最终总能完成。”此处为让步状语从句,根据“heavy the load is”可知,应用however引导,意为“无论多么”,注意首字母大写。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她对钩编的热情甚至促使她将一本外国钩编图案书翻译成中文,这项任务不仅需要语言技能,还需要对这门工艺有深入的实践知识。lead to sb. doing sth.为固定用法,意为“导致某人做某事”,所以此处用动名词translating。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One week, we participated in a program that aimed to bring students fun and also strengthen their courage. On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way.
After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool.
We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel.
To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank.
I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side.
Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water.
“Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water.

Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. After putting them on again, Sam was still there. “I don’t want any juice!” I said. Sam nodded understandingly. “Fine!” he spoke pleasantly and stood waiting. Frustrated by my own weakness, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to jump across the water. Once again, fear overwhelmed me. I looked towards where the others sat. Much to my relief, they still had their backs turned; only Sam stood opposite me, looking straight into my eyes, patiently.
Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. A slight slip of my heel on a stone was quickly steadied by Sam’s strong forearm against my back. As I glanced up, I couldn’t help but notice Sam’s towering height — the tallest among us. “Well done, Jimmy!” he said, nodding in approval while praising me for my bravery. Meanwhile, he handed me a bottle of juice. While drinking it, I felt a sense of pride in myself and gratitude towards Sam for his kindness.

Anyway, i'm sending you this letter because i've forgot to mention something. On saturday, my sister ivy is having a birthday party next month, and he told me to ask if you would like to come. I think you might want to be there because it'll be held at a local golf club. And I know how much you love golf. IT should be a good party. There will be plenty of flowers, food and a discount if you feel like dancing. We might also have time for a quick game of golf. But if IT raise, there is a poll table we could use, let me know if you are interested in coming to the party. Don't worry about bringing iv and expensive gift. I'm sure you'll be happy with just a box of chocolates. I hope to see you again soon. This Simon IT was great to see you again on saturday.
