Here are four standout sci-fi novels that provide perfect gateways into the genre. Show Us Who You Are Show Us Who You Are by Elle McNicoll presents a stimulating look at technology. When the main character, Cora, is given a chance to connect with her comatose (昏迷的) friend through a 3-D image, she sees it as a blessing. However, she soon uncovers the tech company’s dark secrets and dangerous agendas. This novel is more than a simple mystery; it’s an exploration of what it means to be human in a digital age and the importance of challenging powerful institutions. 5 Worlds Series For those who appreciate visual storytelling, the 5 Worlds Series by Mark Siegel and Alexis Siegel is a masterpiece. This great story, described as Star Wars meets The Last Airbender, follows Oona Lee and her companions as they race to light the beacons (灯塔) of five planets to save their universe from extinction. With amazing artwork, the series is a wild ride across unique worlds, featuring a determined heroine who must unlock her potential and learn to lead. Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone by Tae Keller is a powerful combination of sci-fi mystery and realistic fiction. The story begins when Mallory’s neighbor, an eager alien hunter, disappears. As Mallory investigates the truth using clues from a journal, the story explores deep themes of middle school. It’s a sensitive and tense exploration of how we treat those who are different and the secrets we keep from others and ourselves. When You Reach Me The Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a master class in complex storytelling. Set in the 1970s New York City, it follows sixth-grader Miranda as she receives mysterious notes that seem to predict the future. The novel brilliantly mixes elements of time travel with a touching coming-of-age story about friendship, family, and the connections that shape our lives, keeping readers engaged until the final, satisfying revelation. 21.

What can we learn about When You Reach Me? A. It has amazing artwork. B. It wins the Newbery Medal. C. It focuses on alien hunting. D. It tells of a missing neighbor. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四部以年轻女性为主角、适合高中读者的科幻小说。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据5 Worlds Series部分中“This great story, described as Star Wars meets The Last Airbender, follows Oona Lee and her companions as they race to light the beacons (灯塔) of five planets to save their universe from extinction.(这个精彩的故事被描述为“星球大战”与《The Last Airbender》的结合体。故事讲述了奥娜·李及其同伴们的故事，他们争分夺秒地点亮五个星球的灯塔，以拯救他们的宇宙免于毁灭)”可知，奥娜和同伴们想要拯救的是他们的宇宙。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone部分中“The story begins when Mallory’s neighbor, an eager alien hunter, disappears. As Mallory investigates the truth using clues from a journal, the story explores deep themes of middle school.(故事始于马洛里的一位邻居——一位热衷于寻找外星生物的探险家突然失踪。马洛里利用一本日记中的线索来探究真相，与此同时，故事也深入探讨了中学时期的一些深刻主题)”可知，《Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone》这本书聚焦了一个利用日记进行调查的角色。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据When You Reach Me部分中 “The Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a master class in complex storytelling.(丽贝卡・斯蒂德的《当你到达我》获得了纽伯瑞奖章，是复杂叙事的典范)” 可知，《When You Reach Me》这本书赢得了纽伯瑞奖章。故选B。 B Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 24. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining. 25. Retention bans require fishermen to ________. A. avoid fishing in shark habitats B. release accidentally caught sharks C. use special equipment to protect sharks D. limit the number of sharks caught per year 26. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A. Those living in shallow waters. B. Large species near the coast. C. Deep-water species. D. Species with slow reproductive rates. 27. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A. The retention bans need to be further improved. B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. D. Focusing only on young sharks is important. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章客观分析了鲨鱼种群面临的生存威胁，评估了现行捕捞限制措施的效果，并指出需要采取综合策略来实现有效保护。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后“Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction...contributing significantly to their decline.(全球近三分之一的鲨鱼物种濒临灭绝……对鲨鱼数量的锐减起到了极大的推波助澜作用。)”可知，鲨鱼正面临严峻的生存危机，死亡速度之快令人担忧。由此可推断， staggering在此处表示“令人震惊的、令人担忧的”，与 Alarming意思最接近。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks.(作为应对，各区域渔业管理组织出台了捕捞留存禁令，要求渔民放生误捕的鲨鱼。)”可知，留存禁令要求渔民放生意外捕获的鲨鱼。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. (研究结果显示，某些鲨鱼群体放生后的死亡率格外高：体型较小的鲨鱼、深水鲨鱼物种，以及需要持续游动才能呼吸的鲨鱼。)”可知，深水鲨鱼物种放生后容易死亡。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation.(研究人员强调，捕捞留存禁令虽是良好的第一步，但必须与其他措施相结合。这些措施包括：更换渔具（例如延绳捕鱼不再使用钢丝）、保护鲨鱼重要栖息地（尤其是幼鲨的出生和生长区域），以及设定鲨鱼捕捞数量限额。这类综合性举措对于有效保护鲨鱼至关重要。)”可知，第五段首句点明留存禁令只是第一步，必须结合其他措施；接着列举具体措施；最后总结综合方案对鲨鱼保护至关重要。由此可知，第五段段落大意是需要更广泛的综合措施来有效保护鲨鱼。 C Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks sway gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age. In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality: the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business. First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials. In 2023, she tried livestreaming on electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, From March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through livestreaming, with 7,000 on a single day-that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China. The numbers tell the resulting. In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us, she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.” The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. Local farming is 98% mechanized, and a 1998 seed base (investing 1 million yuan yearly) develops high-quality varieties-including the seeds Ayinigeer uses. 28. What did Ayinigeer do first to improve the family business? A. She started livestreaming on Douyin. B. She modernized the operation system. C. She partnered with over 120 local households. D. She inspected crops personally. 29. Why could Ayinigeer’s sales model attract viewers? A. She offered very low rice prices. B. She used professional broadcasting equipment. C. She presented authentic rice production scenes. D. She accumulated many followers before livestreaming. 30. What can we infer about Tuohula’s rice? A. It is popular all over the world. B. Local natural conditions contributed to its popularity. C. It is only sold in southern Xinjiang. D. Its production cost is much lower than average. 31. Which is the most appropriate title? A. Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice B. Livestreaming Makes Rice Famous C. Graduate Succeeds in Rice Business D. Quality Rice Boosts Agriculture 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了新疆托乎拉地区毕业生Ayinigeer用数字技术振兴家乡稻米产业的故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. (首先，她将小型农民合作社转变为公司。利用计算机背景，她实现了发票、库存和订单处理的自动化，将所有工作转移到电子系统。)”可知，她首先做的是“使运营系统现代化”。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. (她用智能手机向观众展示了当地的稻田、加工厂，以及用当地产品烹制的家庭大餐。最初的阶段很艰难，但当地政府培训了她的直播技能。他们的真实性赢得了观众：每天的订单从12个增加到数百个。)”可知，吸引观众的原因是“呈现真实的稻米生产场景”。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. (然而，Ayinigeer直播的巨大成功不仅源于技术，还源于拓乌拉的稻米品质：温宿的温差、富硒土壤和天山融雪水使其香甜可口。)”可推断，当地自然条件促成了稻米的受欢迎。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章核心是Ayinigeer运用数字技能 (自动化系统、直播销售) 让传统稻米产业焕发新生，A项“Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice (数字技能振兴家乡稻米)”准确概括了技术与产业复苏的关系，最符合主旨。故选A项。 D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity’s long battle with plastic waste. It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. 32. What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics? A. Low costs. B. Simple processes. C. High security. D. Adjustable reaction. 33. What does the novel catalyst help with? A. Speeding up waste collection. B. Adjusting the operating temperature. C. Minimizing harmful byproducts. D. Turning plastics into basic chemicals. 34. How do scientists regard the method? A. A dead end. B. A starting point. C. A stepping stone. D. A definite answer. 35. What inspiration does the innovation bring to us? A. New views create possibilities. B. Human effort overcomes challenges. C. Close teamwork works wonders. D. Tough problems lead to innovations. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中美科学家合作研发的一种新型塑料回收方法，该方法可通过特殊催化反应一步将塑料转化为可用烃类物质，同时分析了其优势、面临的挑战及带来的启示。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. (通过采用一种特别设计的催化反应，研究人员找到了一种方法，能够将长的塑料聚合物链在单一步骤中分解为短的碳氢化合物分子——这些就是燃料的构成单元。)”可知，新回收方法的关键优势是流程简单。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. (据来自中方合作大学的化学工程师张伟教授介绍，该过程能将 95% 的塑料转化为可用的烃类物质，仅留下少量残留物，且几乎不会产生有害副产品。)”可知，新型催化剂有助于将塑料转化为基础化学物质。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. (基于此，科学家们并不将这种创新视为最终目标，而将其视为迈向更清洁未来的暂时解决方案。)”可知，科学家把该方法看作垫脚石、过渡手段。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. (它将曾经的污染物转化为能源，表明解决重大问题的方法往往在于重新思考：垃圾并非废物，而是潜在资源。)” 可知，这项创新带给我们的启示是新的视角创造可能性。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。 We all know stress from work can follow us home, but what if it’s not just your partner or kids feeling its effect? A study by Mitropoulos and Andrukonis, published last week in Scientific Reports, uncovers a surprising yet deeply relatable finding: your job stress can “cross over” to your dog, particularly when you can’t stop thinking about work after hours. ____36____ That is to say, even your furry companion might be quietly suffering alongside you. The invisible link: when your stress becomes your dog’s Dogs are incredibly sensitive. ____37____ Therefore, it can be said that dogs are masters of emotional detection. Scientists have long known that dogs experience emotional contagion (感染); in other words, they “catch” our feelings. Now, this study is one of the first to show that job-related stress, when paired with constant overthinking, can result in real behavioral stress responses in dogs. The most convincing finding? In the study, dogs whose owners reported high job stress and frequently focused on work showed more behavioral signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or reduced playfulness. ____38____ It suggests our dogs may be more stressed than we realize. What can dog owners do? Manage your emotional clues. Dogs can sense human feelings easily. So try to be conscious of how you speak and move around them, especially during stressful times. ____39____. Mindfulness practices — like meditation, deep breathing, or simply being present — help reduce work-related overthinking and allow for genuine relaxation with your dog. ____40____ If your job stress feels unmanageable, consider reaching out for help, whether from your employer, a therapist, or a stress management program. Caring for yourself is one of the best ways to care for your pet. A. Get support if you need it. B. The effects of stress on humans go further than we think. C. Turn off work notifications and fully engage with your dog. D. Gentle tones and relaxed body language can help calm your dog. E. However, owners in life often fail to recognize these stress behaviors. F. They can read our facial expressions and sense changes in tone and posture. G. It turns out our dogs share not only our homes, but also our emotional burdens. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. E 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了工作带来的压力不仅会影响人类自身，还可能“传染”给家中的宠物狗，并给出了狗主人应如何应对的建议。 【36题详解】 上文“A study by Mitropoulos and Andrukonis, published last week in Scientific Reports, uncovers a surprising yet deeply relatable finding: your job stress can “cross over” to your dog, particularly when you can’t stop thinking about work after hours.

(狗狗异常敏感。)”指出狗非常敏感。选项F“They can read our facial expressions and sense changes in tone and posture. (它们能读懂我们的面部表情，感知语气和姿势的变化。)”具体解释了狗的敏感体现在哪些方面，与下文“Therefore, it can be said that dogs are masters of emotional detection. (因此，可以说狗狗是情感探测的高手。)”形成因果关系，衔接自然。 【38题详解】 上文“In the study, dogs whose owners reported high job stress and frequently focused on work showed more behavioral signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or reduced playfulness. (研究中，那些主人自称工作压力大且频繁惦记工作的狗狗，表现出了更多有压力的行为，比如踱步、呜咽，或是玩耍的兴致降低。)”指出压力大且常想工作的主人，其狗会表现出更多压力行为。选项E“However, owners in life often fail to recognize these stress behaviors. (然而，生活中主人往往意识不到这些应激行为。)”通过转折，引出狗的压力被忽视的现象，与下文“It suggests our dogs may be more stressed than we realize. (这表明我们的狗可能比我们意识到的更有压力。)”呼应，符合逻辑。 【39题详解】 上文“Manage your emotional clues. Dogs can sense human feelings easily. So try to be conscious of how you speak and move around them, especially during stressful times. (管理好你的情绪信号。狗狗很容易察觉到人的情绪。所以，要留意在它们面前说话的方式和肢体动作，尤其是在压力大的时候。)”建议要注意在狗面前的说话方式和动作，尤其是压力大的时候。选项D“Gentle tones and relaxed body language can help calm your dog.

Caring for yourself is one of the best ways to care for your pet. (要是工作压力大到难以承受，可以考虑寻求帮助，无论是向雇主求助、找治疗师咨询，还是参加压力管理课程。照顾好自己，也是照顾好宠物的最佳方式之一。)”可知，本段讲的是如果工作压力难以应对，可以寻求雇主、治疗师或压力管理项目的帮助。选项A“Get support if you need it. (如果需要，寻求支持。)”是对下文内容的概括，作为该段的主题句，引出具体的求助方式，结构合理。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For more than five decades, he’s walked through the streets of Paris.

In 2016, they decided to kayak (划皮艇) the Rocks NationalLakeshore, a challenging route on Lake Superior, teibentrti tuo bobson l rast ouodern. On September 13, they loaded up on food and camping devices, climbed into their kayaks, and pushed off from a beach near the national park’s headquarters. They planned to return in a week. They moved through small waves and headed northeast. Soon the lakeshore’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began to rise on their right. Away from the shore, the head wind grew to the forecasted 10 knots — and kept rising. Still, they never considered turning around. They had been rowing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew to two metres and steepened. The wind rose to an intense 20 knots, putting them in danger of flipping over. “It went bad fast!” shouted Tolin, who was in the lead about 20 metres ahead of Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them closer to the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rolled them into the water. Sean managed to get back to kayak, holding onto it for stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he couldn’t make any progress against the strong wind. “My arms are giving out.” Sean thought to himself, “I gotta call now.” Using a VHF radio clipped to his life jacket, Sean called:“Mayday, two kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blocked the signal from reaching anyone. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared from sight. The man yelled to his friend at the top of his lungs, but there’s no reply. Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away from the shoreline and farther out in the lake. Exhausted, he floated on his back and considered his options. Sean decided to turn downwind, towards the beach where they had launched that morning. It was 5 kilometers away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking. 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。 Luckily, after about three hours, Sean saw the beach within reach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team headed out immediately for Tolin ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Luckily, after about three hours, Sean saw the beach within reach. With his last strength, he pulled and kicked against the crashing waves, his lungs burning and limbs numb. Collapsing onto the sand, he gasped for air, but he knew the clock was ticking. “I must hurry up to save Tolin!” he muttered. Dragging his trembling feet, he headed toward the park headquarters, shouting, “One man is drowning along the cliff! Help!” Rangers heard him and rushed him inside for treatment, calling for the rescue team at the same time. The rescue team headed out immediately for Tolin. A helicopter soared over the cliffs, its spotlight piercing through the rain. Suddenly, a faint whistle echoed — Tolin hung on to a rock, waving his arm. A rescuer on the rope approached him carefully, and then pulled him up aboard, wrapping him in a blanket. Minutes later, they took Tolin back to the headquarters to reunite with his friend. Sean held Tolin tight, tears streaming down his face. “Thank goodness you’ re fine,” Sean said, gripping his friend’s shoulders. Tolin nodded, “Your bravery and determination saved us.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了 Sean Royston 和好友 Tolin Annis 每两年进行一次探险的传统，在 2016 年他们选择在苏必利尔湖的岩石国家湖岸划皮艇。出发后遭遇恶劣天气，风浪变大，两人翻入水中，Sean 设法抓住皮艇，却无法逆风前行，呼叫救援因信号受阻无果，最终决定顺风向出发地海滩游去。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“幸运的是，大约三个小时后，Sean看到海滩近在咫尺。”可知，第一段可描写Sean 看到海滩后的行动。Sean 拼尽全力游向海滩，上岸后虽精疲力竭但心系 Tolin，立即前往公园总部求救，工作人员一边安排救治 Sean，一边呼叫救援团队，突出 Sean 对朋友的担忧和责任感。 ②由第二段首句内容“救援队立刻出发去搜寻Tolin。”可知，第二段可描写救援团队对 Tolin 的救援过程及结果。直升机在悬崖上方搜索，最终发现 Tolin 并成功救援，Tolin 回到总部与 Sean 团聚，两人相互感慨，体现了友情以及救援成功的欣慰，同时强调 Sean 勇敢和坚定的品质。 2.续写线索：看到海滩拼力游上岸 —— 前往总部求救 —— 救援团队出发 —— 直升机发现并救起 Tolin—— 两人团聚表达感慨 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①营救：save /rescue ②呼喊：shout /yell ③抓住：grip /grasp 情绪类： ①勇敢：bravery /courage ②失去知觉的：senseless/numb 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Collapsing onto the sand, he gasped for air, but he knew the clock was ticking.（运用了现在分词 Collapsing 作状语 ） 【高分句型 2】Suddenly, a faint whistle echoed— Tolin hung on to a rock, waving his arm.（运用了现在分词 waving 作状语 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。听下面对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。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，每段对话读两遍。I should really start turning in my homework on time.

Here are four standout sci-fi novels that provide perfect gateways into the genre. Show Us Who You Are Show Us Who You Are by Elle McNicoll presents a stimulating look at technology. When the main character, Cora, is given a chance to connect with her comatose (昏迷的) friend through a 3-D image, she sees it as a blessing. However, she soon uncovers the tech company’s dark secrets and dangerous agendas. This novel is more than a simple mystery; it’s an exploration of what it means to be human in a digital age and the importance of challenging powerful institutions. 5 Worlds Series For those who appreciate visual storytelling, the 5 Worlds Series by Mark Siegel and Alexis Siegel is a masterpiece. This great story, described as Star Wars meets The Last Airbender, follows Oona Lee and her companions as they race to light the beacons (灯塔) of five planets to save their universe from extinction. With amazing artwork, the series is a wild ride across unique worlds, featuring a determined heroine who must unlock her potential and learn to lead. Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone by Tae Keller is a powerful combination of sci-fi mystery and realistic fiction. The story begins when Mallory’s neighbor, an eager alien hunter, disappears. As Mallory investigates the truth using clues from a journal, the story explores deep themes of middle school. It’s a sensitive and tense exploration of how we treat those who are different and the secrets we keep from others and ourselves. When You Reach Me The Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a master class in complex storytelling. Set in the 1970s New York City, it follows sixth-grader Miranda as she receives mysterious notes that seem to predict the future. The novel brilliantly mixes elements of time travel with a touching coming-of-age story about friendship, family, and the connections that shape our lives, keeping readers engaged until the final, satisfying revelation. 21. What do Oona Lee and her companions try to save? A. Their universe. B. A comatose friend. C. A tech company. D. Middle school students. 22. Which book focuses on a character using a journal for investigation? A. Show Us Who You Are. B. 5 Worlds Series. C. Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone. D. When You Reach Me. 23. What can we learn about When You Reach Me? A. It has amazing artwork. B. It wins the Newbery Medal. C. It focuses on alien hunting. D. It tells of a missing neighbor. B Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline. In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear (for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats (especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes — such as rays, skates, and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 24. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining. 25. Retention bans require fishermen to ________. A. avoid fishing in shark habitats B. release accidentally caught sharks C. use special equipment to protect sharks D. limit the number of sharks caught per year 26. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A. Those living in shallow waters. B. Large species near the coast. C. Deep-water species. D. Species with slow reproductive rates. 27. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A. The retention bans need to be further improved. B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. D. Focusing only on young sharks is important. C Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks sway gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age. In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality: the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business. First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials. In 2023, she tried livestreaming on electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, From March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through livestreaming, with 7,000 on a single day-that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China. The numbers tell the resulting. In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us, she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.” The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. Local farming is 98% mechanized, and a 1998 seed base (investing 1 million yuan yearly) develops high-quality varieties-including the seeds Ayinigeer uses. 28. What did Ayinigeer do first to improve the family business? A. She started livestreaming on Douyin. B. She modernized the operation system. C. She partnered with over 120 local households. D. She inspected crops personally. 29. Why could Ayinigeer’s sales model attract viewers? A. She offered very low rice prices. B. She used professional broadcasting equipment. C. She presented authentic rice production scenes. D. She accumulated many followers before livestreaming. 30. What can we infer about Tuohula’s rice? A. It is popular all over the world. B. Local natural conditions contributed to its popularity. C. It is only sold in southern Xinjiang. D. Its production cost is much lower than average. 31. Which is the most appropriate title? A. Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice B. Livestreaming Makes Rice Famous C. Graduate Succeeds in Rice Business D. Quality Rice Boosts Agriculture D Plastic has always been a double-edged sword — multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts (催化剂), and often produce impure results. Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules — the building blocks of fuel — in a single step. The team’s secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures — far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence. Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future. While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity’s long battle with plastic waste. It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage-but as potential. 32. What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics? A. Low costs. B. Simple processes. C. High security. D. Adjustable reaction. 33. What does the novel catalyst help with? A. Speeding up waste collection. B. Adjusting the operating temperature. C. Minimizing harmful byproducts. D. Turning plastics into basic chemicals. 34. How do scientists regard the method? A. A dead end. B. A starting point. C. A stepping stone. D. A definite answer. 35. What inspiration does the innovation bring to us? A. New views create possibilities. B. Human effort overcomes challenges. C. Close teamwork works wonders. D. Tough problems lead to innovations. 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。 We all know stress from work can follow us home, but what if it’s not just your partner or kids feeling its effect?

In 2016, they decided to kayak (划皮艇) the Rocks NationalLakeshore, a challenging route on Lake Superior, teibentrti tuo bobson l rast ouodern. On September 13, they loaded up on food and camping devices, climbed into their kayaks, and pushed off from a beach near the national park’s headquarters. They planned to return in a week. They moved through small waves and headed northeast. Soon the lakeshore’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began to rise on their right. Away from the shore, the head wind grew to the forecasted 10 knots — and kept rising. Still, they never considered turning around. They had been rowing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew to two metres and steepened. The wind rose to an intense 20 knots, putting them in danger of flipping over. “It went bad fast!” shouted Tolin, who was in the lead about 20 metres ahead of Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them closer to the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rolled them into the water. Sean managed to get back to kayak, holding onto it for stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he couldn’t make any progress against the strong wind. “My arms are giving out.” Sean thought to himself, “I gotta call now.” Using a VHF radio clipped to his life jacket, Sean called:“Mayday, two kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blocked the signal from reaching anyone. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared from sight. The man yelled to his friend at the top of his lungs, but there’s no reply. Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away from the shoreline and farther out in the lake. Exhausted, he floated on his back and considered his options. Sean decided to turn downwind, towards the beach where they had launched that morning. It was 5 kilometers away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking. 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。 Luckily, after about three hours, Sean saw the beach within reach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team headed out immediately for Tolin ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
