Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and White. They hope to discourage the sea birds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to a large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic, biology student hanna tells the broadcaster. The Youngsters fathers are Brown and colour. The dark coloured road surface makes the Youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Christian says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicoloured road this summer. And if IT works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

The chart below reveals the hidden environmental cost of fashion weeks last year. These estimates are conservative, as they only include travel emissions from designers and buyers, not other participants. But the problem is much bigger than these events. Fast fashion encourages people to treat clothes as disposable. Clothes stores change their product ranges every few weeks, generating a constant production cycle that causes significant damage to nature. To understand the true cost, we can look at a common item: a pair of jeans. Production: The stage is responsible for the emission of about 13 kilograms of CO2. → Dyeing(染色): The stage consumes over 2,000 liters of water and 10 liters of chemicals and dyes. → Washing: The stage requires over 1,000 liters of water. Overall, the industry accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions (排放) and 20% of water pollution, leading the UN to declare an "environmental emergency." In response, a shift is beginning. For major fashion events, new formats combining virtual platforms and real-life elements aim to reduce the carbon footprint of global travel. Beyond the runway, a new initiative is taking shape. The expanding influence of online communication helps raise sustainability awareness, encouraging mindful consumption and driving industry change. 21. Which fashion week had the most serious environmental impact? A. Milan. B. London. C. Paris. D. New York. 22. What is the minimum amount of water required in processing a pair of jeans? A. 1000 liters. B. 2000 liters. C. 3000 liters. D. 3010 liters. 23. What change is the fashion industry experiencing regarding sustainability? A. Reducing event scales. B. Employing digital power. C. Seeking policy support. D. Using cheaper materials. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了时尚行业对环境的危害及可持续发展新举措。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表数据，纽约时装周的碳排放为60,000 tCO₂e，高于米兰（28,000）、伦敦（29,000）和巴黎（45,000），是四个选项中数值最高的，对应环境影响最严重。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Dyeing(染色): The stage consumes over 2,000 liters of water and 10 liters of chemicals and dyes.(染色：这个阶段消耗超过2000升水以及10升化学物质和染料。)”以及“Washing: The stage requires over 1,000 liters of water.(洗涤：这个阶段需要超过1000升水。)”可知，处理一条牛仔裤最少需要的水是染色和洗涤阶段用水之和，即2000 + 1000 = 3000升。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For major fashion events, new formats combining virtual platforms and real-life elements aim to reduce the carbon footprint of global travel. Beyond the runway, a new initiative is taking shape. The expanding influence of online communication helps raise sustainability awareness, encouraging mindful consumption and driving industry change.(对于主要的时尚活动，结合虚拟平台和现实元素的新形式旨在减少全球旅行的碳足迹。在T台之外，一项新的倡议正在形成。在线通信不断扩大的影响力有助于提高可持续发展意识，鼓励理性消费并推动行业变革。)”可知，时尚行业正借助数字技术（虚拟平台、线上传播）推动可持续发展变革。故选B。 B Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot. This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000. Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections. Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time. But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties (机能) fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family? 24. What is a robot’s main practical advantage in elder care? A. Its lower long-term cost. B. Its guarantee of total safety. C. Its ability to show friendship. D. Its simple setup and operation. 25. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Ease. B. Cause. C. Ignore. D. Discover. 26. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4? A. The urgent need to replace human care. B. The potential of AI in showing empathy. C. The general weakness of human caregivers. D. The importance of human emotional interaction. 27. How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A. Angry and intolerant. B. Reflective and concerned. C. Indifferent and dismissive. D. Sympathetic and confused. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述人口老龄化催生养老机器人需求，介绍其成本、服务优势，也反思了其可能带来的社会问题。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000.(这听起来或许像科幻故事，但背后的原因很实际，主要是经济原因。雇佣人员照顾年迈亲人的费用高得令人望而却步——一名居家护工年薪高达7.5万美元，养老院费用更是远超10万美元。相比之下，据一项估算，人形机器人的成本仅为2万美元)”以及第三段“A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology.(机器人可能只需一次性投入，维护成本极低，还可通过云计算技术更新系统)”可知，养老机器人最实际的优势是长期使用成本更低。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems.(我曾接诊过一些老年患者，他们因护理疏漏流落街头或严重脱水。续航提升、可自主充电的不知疲倦的机器人能够mitigate这类问题)”可知，机器人可以减少、改善护理疏漏引发的问题，由此猜测mitigate意为“减轻、缓解”，与ease同义。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate than those of humans — a surprising but telling result.(在近期一项研究中，观察者发现人工智能给出的回应比人类更体贴、更富有同情心，这一结果出人意料却很有说服力)”可知，作者引用该研究，意在说明人工智能在共情表达方面具备潜在优势。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family?(但这会让我们身处何种境地？如果我知道奶奶有机器人照料，疲惫下班后我是否会选择不再登门探望？邻居们是否会不再照看她？当她身体机能衰退时，她是否会比起家人，更愿意信赖机器人？)”可知，作者连用多个问句，反思机器人养老带来的人际疏离问题，态度审慎且充满担忧。 C New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence is triggering a sharp rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. The study suggests that AI’s overall influence on worldwide pollution is small and could even support environmental and economic progress. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their goal was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petroleum, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the United States matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr. Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor in the Faculty of Environment at Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” The study did not explore economic outcomes within the specific communities that host data centers, but the researchers identified several positive takeaways. “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz said. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones. Moving forward, we intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may influence environmental outcomes across different regions of the world.” 28. Why did the scientists conduct this research? A. To analyze AI’s industrial application frequency. B. To promote environmental and economic progress. C.

Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 32. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 33. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 34. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing.(因此，个人稳定的表达可能会被误解为冷漠或特权，使人们犹豫是否要分享他们的中性或积极的幸福感)”可知，人们担心说“我很好”会显示出缺乏关心。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中 “It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed.(它充当着一种情感bulwark，使人们能够在集体压力的浪潮中应对自如而不被压垮)”可知，bulwark在这里表示能抵御压力的“支撑，屏障，支持”，A. Measurement.测量；B. Barrier.屏障；C. Support.支持；D. Pressure.压力。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人)”可知，当你真正感觉良好时告诉朋友你很好，这样做最能说明“平静的安好”。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人。在充满挑战的时期，这种稳定是一种无声的力量。坦然承认自己的安稳时刻，能让人类全部情绪变得正常化，并为他人创造不带评判地接纳自身状态的空间。最终，这种真诚地分享安好，一次对话一次对话地积累，将有助于建设一个情绪更有韧性的社群)”可知，文章主要论述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性，故A选项“感觉良好的安静力量”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life can get overwhelming when you’re constantly pulled in different directions.

Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda?” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity. Wanda would hesitate, her fingers nervously twisting her dress. “A hundred,” she would reply in a soft murmur; her voice was barely heard. Instantly, the classroom would erupt in laughter. “A hundred!” Peggy would shout, her laughter echoing through the room. “I bet they’re all made of paper!” The other students would join in, their cruel laughter filling the air. Wanda’s face would redden with awkward, and she would quickly lower her head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Miss Mason, their teacher, often tried to intervene. “That’s enough, class. Let’s start the lesson,” she would say firmly, attempting to restore order. But the damage had been done. Day after day, Peggy and her group of friends continued to make fun of Wanda, asking about her “hundred dresses” and making ill remarks about her plain clothes. One day, Miss Mason announced an exciting drawing contest. The theme was “Design a Dress,” and the winning entries would be displayed in the school hall. Peggy, confident in her artistic abilities, was determined to claim victory. 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。 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. Wanda won the first prize, for she had submitted 100 exquisite, uniquely detailed fashion design drawings. Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students. Peggy and the class stared in disbelief at the beautiful display of Wanda’s talent. But Wanda wasn’t there to see her triumph. She had been absent for days, likely due to classmates’ constant bad behavior. The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her. Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. When they arrived, Wanda seemed surprised to see them. Peggy, her voice filled with regret, said, “Wanda, your drawings won! They’re amazing. We’re so sorry for being mean.” Maggie nodded in agreement. Wanda smiled gently and said, “It’s okay.” She then offered to give Peggy and Maggie some of her drawings. “I want you to have them,” she said. Her kindness touched their hearts. From that day on, Peggy and Maggie learned the importance of kindness and never judged others by their appearance again. Whenever anyone walked through the school hall and saw Wanda’s beautiful drawings, they were reminded of the power of forgiveness and the impact that a single act of kindness could have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在Benton学校里，波兰贫困女孩Wanda因衣着朴素而遭受同学嘲笑，但最终凭借自己的绘画才华赢得绘画比赛并赢得同学们尊重与歉意的故事，传达了不应以貌取人、应尊重他人、善良与宽容的力量等深刻道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，Mason小姐公布了比赛结果，所有人都震惊了。”以及第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第一段可描写Wanda获得了一等奖，她提交了100副作品，但是Wanda因为同学们的嘲笑已经几天没有上学了。 ②由第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第二段可描写两人诚挚地向Wanda道了歉，也明白了善良的重要性。 2.续写线索：几天后，Mason小姐公布了比赛结果，所有人都震惊了——Wanda获得了一等奖，因为她提交了100副作品——每一幅作品都是杰作——但是Wanda却因为同学们的嘲笑几天没有来上学——所有人都陷入了沉默——Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家——她们告诉了Wanda这个好消息，并向Wanda道歉——从那天开始，两人明白了善良的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满了：be filled with/ be full of ②明白：realize/come to know ③打动：touch/ move/strike 情绪类 ①尴尬的：awkward/ embarrassing ②惊讶的：surprised/ astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her.（运用了as引导的状语从句和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宁波市镇海中学英语模拟试题13 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does this conversation take place?

The chart below reveals the hidden environmental cost of fashion weeks last year. These estimates are conservative, as they only include travel emissions from designers and buyers, not other participants. But the problem is much bigger than these events. Fast fashion encourages people to treat clothes as disposable. Clothes stores change their product ranges every few weeks, generating a constant production cycle that causes significant damage to nature. To understand the true cost, we can look at a common item: a pair of jeans. Production: The stage is responsible for the emission of about 13 kilograms of CO2. → Dyeing(染色): The stage consumes over 2,000 liters of water and 10 liters of chemicals and dyes. → Washing: The stage requires over 1,000 liters of water. Overall, the industry accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions (排放) and 20% of water pollution, leading the UN to declare an "environmental emergency." In response, a shift is beginning. For major fashion events, new formats combining virtual platforms and real-life elements aim to reduce the carbon footprint of global travel. Beyond the runway, a new initiative is taking shape. The expanding influence of online communication helps raise sustainability awareness, encouraging mindful consumption and driving industry change. 21. Which fashion week had the most serious environmental impact? A. Milan. B. London. C. Paris. D. New York. 22. What is the minimum amount of water required in processing a pair of jeans? A. 1000 liters. B. 2000 liters. C. 3000 liters. D. 3010 liters. 23. What change is the fashion industry experiencing regarding sustainability? A. Reducing event scales. B. Employing digital power. C. Seeking policy support. D. Using cheaper materials. B Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot. This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000. Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections. Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time. But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties (机能) fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family? 24. What is a robot’s main practical advantage in elder care? A. Its lower long-term cost. B. Its guarantee of total safety. C. Its ability to show friendship. D. Its simple setup and operation. 25. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Ease. B. Cause. C. Ignore. D. Discover. 26. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4? A. The urgent need to replace human care. B. The potential of AI in showing empathy. C. The general weakness of human caregivers. D. The importance of human emotional interaction. 27. How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A. Angry and intolerant. B. Reflective and concerned. C. Indifferent and dismissive. D. Sympathetic and confused. C New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence is triggering a sharp rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. The study suggests that AI’s overall influence on worldwide pollution is small and could even support environmental and economic progress. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their goal was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petroleum, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the United States matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr. Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor in the Faculty of Environment at Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” The study did not explore economic outcomes within the specific communities that host data centers, but the researchers identified several positive takeaways. “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz said. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones. Moving forward, we intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may influence environmental outcomes across different regions of the world.” 28. Why did the scientists conduct this research? A. To analyze AI’s industrial application frequency. B. To promote environmental and economic progress. C. To calculate economic data across different industries. D. To explore AI’s environmental effects in its present trend. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. US AI energy use is small on a global scale. B. Iceland’s power consumption is mainly driven by AI. C. Most US fossil fuels are used to power AI data centers. D. 83% of US fossil fuels are consumed for AI energy use. 30. What is Dr. Moreno-Cruz’s attitude towards AI’s effect on the climate? A. Neutral. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Concerned. 31. What will the researchers do in their follow-up research? A. Study data centers’ economic outcomes. B. Expand their research to more countries. C. Measure AI’s exact influence in all regions. D. Employ AI to develop and upgrade green tech. D We live in a world where conversations about mental health are becoming more common. Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 32. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 33. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 34. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life can get overwhelming when you’re constantly pulled in different directions.

Among the lively atmosphere, Wanda Petronski, a poor Polish girl, with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that showed signs of frequent wear, became the target of cruel jokes among her classmates. Each morning, as Wanda stepped into the classroom, a sudden silence would fall over the room. The abrupt silence was soon replaced by whispers and laughter. “Look, there’s Wanda,” Peggy would whisper to her friend Maggie, her eyes shining with mischief. Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda?” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity.
