D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了大学学习计划的提交流程、变更规则、考试预订与取消以及其他相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Changes to the study plan”部分中“Beyond the change period, adding courses requires permission from both the Dean and the Vice-Academic Rector. To do so, the student must email a signed “change courses” form to segreteria@unigre (在变更期之外，添加课程需要获得院长和副学术校长的许可。为此，学生必须将签名的“更改课程”表格通过电子邮件发送至segreteria@unigre)”可知，学生在变更期后添加课程必须发送签名的表格。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Other useful information”部分中“Accumulating absences equal to one-third of a course’s lessons results in losing the right to take the exam. (缺勤累计达到课程课时三分之一将导致失去参加考试的权利)”可知，学生缺勤达到课程的三分之一就不能参加考试。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章内容涉及大学学习计划、选课、考试等校园事务，并使用“Dean”、“Faculty”、“Registrar’s Office”等大学术语，因此最可能来自大学网页。 B An old, wise man sensed that his journey on Earth was coming to an end. The boy was still young, yet to discover the fullness of his own potential. Driven by a father’s love, he was determined to teach one final, crucial lesson before departing. He handed his son a watch, a family treasure handed down for generations. “Ask the jeweler how much it’s worth. But don’t accept any offer. Just come back home with the watch.” Following his father’s instruction, the boy went straight to the jeweler, who set its value at a mere hundred dollars, adding that a buyer would be hard to find. The son returned and reported the low valuation. The father nodded slowly. “Well. Then take it to the pawnshop (当铺). See what they say.” Though he hesitated inwardly, he dared not argue with his aging father. He went to the pawnshop, even seeking out two friends working there, hoping for a better price. Instead, they pointed out hairline scratches on the frame — flaws he had failed to notice despite carrying it all day— and offered him just a little more than the jeweler. The father paused for a moment and said, “Try the museum this time. There’s a woman I know. I sense she will know better what this watch is really worth.” Having met his father’s acquaintance, he ran back home, out of breath. “You won’t believe it! We finally got an amazing offer. She said she never thought she’d see one in person. The museum would like to buy it for $35000! I haven’t realized I was holding something that valuable.” His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.” 4. Why did the boy’s friends say the watch was scratched? A. To offer a lower price. B. To inform him of its flaw. C. To prove their honesty. D. To discourage him from selling. 5. How did the boy feel after visiting the museum? A. Doubtful. B. Ashamed. C. Thrilled. D. Confused. 6. Which of the following best describes the old man? A. Caring but strict. B. Wise but proud. C. Humble but hesitant. D. Insightful and patient. 7. What lesson can be learned from the story? A. You can’t put a price on old things. B. Always shop around before you buy. C. Stand where your strengths are celebrated. D. Behind a great man there are always supporters. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述一位年迈睿智的父亲在离世前，让儿子先后去珠宝商、当铺、博物馆估价祖传手表，借同一块手表在不同地方得到悬殊报价这件事，教会儿子认清自我价值：找对能看见你价值的环境，才能明白自己真正的分量。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Instead, they pointed out hairline scratches on the frame— flaws he had failed to notice despite carrying it all day— and offered him just a little more than the jeweler.(相反，他们指出表框上细微的划痕 —— 他带了一整天都没发现的瑕疵，给出的价格只比珠宝商高一点点。)”可知，当铺的朋友刻意挑出手表瑕疵，目的是压低出价。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第六段“Having met his father’s acquaintance, he ran back home, out of breath. “You won’t believe it! We finally got an amazing offer. She said she never thought she’d see one in person. The museum would like to buy it for $35000! I haven’t realized I was holding something that valuable.”(见过父亲认识的那位熟人后，他气喘吁吁跑回家。“你肯定想不到！我们得到了一个惊人报价。她说从没想过能亲眼见到这款表，博物馆愿意出价35000美元买下它！我完全没意识到自己手里握着这么贵重的东西。”)”可知，男孩得知手表极高的价值后十分激动兴奋。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.”(父亲说道：“对我而言最重要的是，你弄懂了价值与自我价值的道理。你要明白 —— 你就和这块手表一样，本身自有价值。倘若身处错的环境，你永远不会知晓自己真正的分量，就算是你的挚友也会看走眼。但总有一处归宿，在那里所有人都能看见你真实的价值。”)”以及老人循序渐进，先后引导男孩去珠宝店、当铺、博物馆，一步步借手表领悟道理的全程行为可知，老人富有洞察力且十分有耐心。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.”(父亲说道：“对我而言最重要的是，你弄懂了价值与自我价值的道理。你要明白 —— 你就和这块手表一样，本身自有价值。倘若身处错的环境，你永远不会知晓自己真正的分量，就算是你的挚友也会看走眼。但总有一处归宿，在那里所有人都能看见你真实的价值。”)”可知，故事告诉我们要身处能看见、认可你闪光点的环境，对应“站在你的长处会被赏识的地方”。 C In forests, certain fungi (真菌) attach themselves to trees and fallen logs to break down the carbon within their wood and release it as carbon dioxide. However, when their preferred meal is unavailable, these wood-decaying fungi can consume plastic instead. White rot fungi, for example, break down lignin — a strong organic polymer that gives wood its rigidity — by using enzymes, which are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions within cells. “We reasoned that if these fungi can decay decay-resistant hardwoods, especially lignin, they might possess some tools to decay other polymers as well,” says Renuka Attanayake, a plant pathology professor at the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka. To test this theory, researchers collected 50 fungal samples from rotting wood in a dry forest in Sri Lanka. They were placed in two different conditions: one dish contained only plastic (low-density polyethylene), while the other offered a choice between plastic and wood. After a 45-day observation period, the results showed a clear preference. Although the fungi naturally gravitated toward the wood, they still succeeded in breaking down the plastic in both groups. More importantly, in the absence of wood, the degradation rate remained significant, pointing to an evolutionary survival mechanism. “These organisms are metabolically flexible,” Attanayake notes. “This may be an evolutionary advantage — the fungi had to survive on whatever was available.” Scientists do not yet know how the fungi’s chemical pathways change when consuming polyethylene, but white rot fungi use oxidizing enzymes to break down both wood and plastic. So far, over 430 species of fungi and bacteria have been found to break down plastic. If these enzymes can be identified and replicated, they could eventually help remove some of the 400 million tonnes of plastic waste produced each year, much of which ends up in landfills or spills into the ocean instead of being recycled. This study represents a small step toward understanding how fungi could help address plastic pollution. Nevertheless, scientists must first test how wood-decaying fungi perform in different conditions, such as landfills, and whether they pose a threat to native trees. “Under restricted conditions we may use this one day, but much more research is needed,” Attanayake said. 8. What does the underlined phrase “gravitated toward” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Broke down naturally. B. Moved away from. C. Reacted violently to. D. Showed a preference for. 9. What can be inferred about the fungi from the 45-day experiment? A. They cannot eat plastic if wood is available. B. They use plastic as a survival strategy when hungry. C. They need wood to activate the enzymes needed. D. They break down plastic faster than natural wood 10. What is Attanayake’s attitude towards the application of this technology? A. Critical and doubtful. B. Enthusiastic and blind. C. Supportive but reserved. D. Skeptical but open-minded. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Fungi: From Wood Decay to Plastic Solution B. Fungi: A New Hope for Forest Conservation C. Fungi: A Complete Guide to Their Life Cycle D. Fungi: The Only Hope for Plastic Pollution 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍腐木真菌本以树木木质素为食，在缺少食物时可分解塑料；斯里兰卡教授团队通过45天对照实验证实该真菌代谢灵活，无木材时也能高效降解塑料，科学家有望复制其酶处理塑料垃圾，但该技术落地还需更多研究验证。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“Although the fungi naturally gravitated toward the wood, they still succeeded in breaking down the plastic in both groups.(尽管这些真菌天生gravitated toward木材，但两组实验里它们依旧能分解塑料。)”及第一段“In forests, certain fungi attach themselves to trees and fallen logs to break down the carbon within their wood and release it as carbon dioxide.(在森林中，部分真菌依附在树木与枯木上，分解木材内部的碳元素，并将其以二氧化碳的形式释放出来。)”可知，这些真菌依附在树木与枯木上，再结合后半句出现的让步逻辑，说明木材是真菌更喜爱的食物，gravitated toward意为“偏爱、倾向选择”。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“More importantly, in the absence of wood, the degradation rate remained significant, pointing to an evolutionary survival mechanism. “These organisms are metabolically flexible,” Attanayake notes. “This may be an evolutionary advantage — the fungi had to survive on whatever was-available.”(更重要的是，在没有木材的情况下，塑料降解效率依旧十分可观，这体现出一种进化形成的生存机制。Attanayake指出：“这类生物的代谢方式具备很强的适应性。这或许是一种进化优势 —— 真菌只能依靠身边一切可获取的物质维持生存。”)”可知，缺少食物时真菌会利用塑料维持生存。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段““Under restricted conditions we may use this one day, but much more research is needed,” Attanayake said.(Attanayake表示：“在限定条件下这项技术未来或许能投入使用，但仍需开展大量研究。”)”可知，她支持该技术应用，但态度保守谨慎，认为还有诸多问题待研究。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“However, when their preferred meal is unavailable, these wood-decaying fungi can consume plastic instead.(然而，当喜爱的食物短缺时，这类腐木真菌可以转而分解塑料。)”以及第四段“they could eventually help remove some of the 400 million tonnes of plastic waste produced each year (它们最终有望处理每年数亿吨塑料垃圾)”并结合全文内容可知，全文围绕真菌既能分解木材，又可降解塑料、有望解决塑料污染展开论述，故最佳标题是“真菌：从分解木材到解决塑料难题”。 D In the digital age, the art of writing by hand has slowly been reduced to mere entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is crucial to brain health and development, offering multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we reconsidered the potential benefits it may bring to our mental capacities. According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections that are essential for encoding new information and forming memories. A recent investigation, for instance, found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand than for those who typed. Therefore, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on brain health. Handwriting is not only good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical advantages. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This finding extends beyond the classroom as well. People who recorded information on paper calendars displayed more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, consequently, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks. Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been in decline. However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced it into school curricula. This represents a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential for children’s brain development. For example, illiterate children who wrote by hand showed brain activity in the circuit used for learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development. Clearly, handwriting is a valuable activity with the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard,remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead. 12. What is the common view of handwriting in today’s digital era? A. It is no longer as popular as it used to be. B. It should be taught together with typing. C. It is now valued equally with digital tools. D. It remains an essential skill for daily life. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on regarding handwriting? A. Its role in improving brain connectivity. B. Its advantages in learning and memory tasks. C. Its effect on helping students score higher. D. Its value in adult daily management skills. 14. Why is previous research mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To add further evidence. B. To make a comparison. C. To show different opinions. D. To present a professional viewpoint. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare handwriting with typing. B. To promote handwriting as an art form. C. To introduce a new digital writing tool. D. To emphasize handwriting’s cognitive value. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述在数字时代手写逐渐沦为消遣，多项研究证明手写能促进大脑神经连接、提升学习与记忆能力，对儿童大脑发育至关重要，呼吁人们不要忽视手写对认知发展的重要价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“In the digital age, the art of writing by hand has slowly been reduced to mere entertainment.(在数字时代，手写这门技艺已经慢慢沦为单纯的消遣。)”可知，当下大众普遍认为手写早已不如从前流行。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“Handwriting is not only good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical advantages. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This finding extends beyond the classroom as well. People who recorded information on paper calendars displayed more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones.(手写不仅有益大脑健康，还有显著的实用优势。研究显示手写记笔记的学生测验分数更高，学习效果更好。这一结论也适用于课堂之外：用纸历记录信息的人大脑活跃度更高，信息提取速度快于使用手机的人。)”可知，本段主要介绍手写在学习、记忆类事务中的各类优势。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced it into school curricula. This represents a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential for children’s brain development.(美国25个州重新将手写纳入校园课程，这是正确的举措，此前的研究也表明手写对儿童大脑发育不可或缺。)”可知，文中提及过往研究是为了给“推广手写课程”补充更多佐证依据。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“However, recent research suggests that this physical act is crucial to brain health and development, offering multiple cognitive benefits.(然而近期研究表明，手写这一行为对大脑健康与发育至关重要，具备多重认知益处。)”以及全文围绕手写对大脑、学习、记忆等认知层面的好处展开论述可知，文章写作目的是强调手写具备的认知价值。 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。 Which is more beneficial to English learning, paper or electronic dictionaries? ____16____ Instead of taking sides blindly, learners should apply them properly based on different learning stages and practical needs. Paper dictionaries feature exploratory learning. When turning pages, you will unavoidably encounter new words, phrases and typical sentences. ____17____ They also help deepen memory, as paper layout and physical use strengthen long-term word recall. Besides, they offer complete collocation and style information without digital distractions. ____18____ They allow instant word lookup without breaking your reading train of thought. Most are equipped with audio pronunciation, personalized word lists and spaced repetition systems to facilitate efficient vocabulary review. Top-grade ones are even connected to massive language corpora (语料库), revealing how certain words are employed in real-life contexts. Wise use of dictionaries lies in matching tools with learning tasks. For primary school students, paper dictionaries serve as a good helper to develop basic dictionary-searching skills. ____19____ Senior high school learners may rely mainly on electronic dictionaries for efficiency, while keeping a paper one at hand to check confusing word usages in depth. College students can combine both, with electronic tools for quick inquiry and paper ones for accurate writing. Some universal rules should be followed to make the most of dictionaries: try to guess word meanings before looking them up; turn to English explanations rather than Chinese versions; attach greater importance to example sentences than simple definitions. By sticking to these good habits, you can achieve a perfect balance between depth and efficiency. ____20____ All in all, dictionaries are merely learning tools. The ultimate goal is to cultivate independent thinking and the ability to use words flexibly in diverse contexts. A. But they have obvious drawbacks as well. B. Such a heated debate has persisted for years. C. Electronic dictionaries represent efficient learning. D. This unintended exposure boosts vocabulary expansion. E. Daily reading is the ideal occasion for us to consult dictionaries. F. Also, you’d better review newly learned words at regular intervals. G.

It came up during a neighborhood meeting. People were discussing small issues that had affected the town’s appearance. Then someone pointed down the street and said one yard had become “very unsightly.” A few neighbors nodded. No name was referred to, but everyone knew which house it was. It stood on the corner, small and gray, with grass that had grown tall and uneven. On my way to work, I slowed down. From far away, the lawn looked messy. Up close, it looked different. The grass was thin in places, and weeds had pushed through. The edges were soft, not sharp, as if time had slowly worn them down. Mr. Harris sat on the chair, his eyes fixed on the yard. When I greeted him, he smiled briefly, and then looked away. “They talk about it, don’t they?” he said quietly. His voice carried no anger. He had already learned what people thought of him and his yard. I slowly learned the story behind the yard. Mr. Harris lived alone. He had arthritis (关节炎) in his knees, and a heart problem that made it hard for him to breathe. Walking even a short distance left him weak. Now, trying to remove weeds only caused him pain that lasted for days. Still, he refused to ask for help. “I don’ t want pity,” he said. “I just don’t want them to misunderstand.” A warning notice from the town appeared on his door at the end of the week, urging him to take care of his yard. That was the moment everything changed for me. The yard was no longer a concern. It had become a sign of how easily people could mistake difficulty for laziness, and silence for carelessness. I realized that choosing not to act was also a choice — and it was part of the problem. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式作答。 After thinking for a while, I knew what I needed to do. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of the whole neighborhood, the yard became neat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After thinking for a while, I knew what I needed to do. That evening, I went from door to door, sharing with the neighbors the truth about Mr. Harris — his arthritis, his heart problem, and why his yard had been left unattended for so long. They listened in silence, their expressions shifting from confusion to guilt. Having learned the truth, all agreed to lend a hand, with one neighbor even offering his weeding machine without a second thought. The following morning, we gathered at Mr. Harris’s house. Caught off guard by our presence, he stared at us in disbelief and then shook his head. “I don’t need pity,” he said. “We’re neighbors,” one of us replied. Only after a brief hesitation did he nod and step aside. With the help of the whole neighborhood, the yard became neat. The overgrown grass was trimmed, the stubborn weeds pulled out, and the soft edges restored to clean lines. Mr. Harris sat nearby, watching us work with a smile that lingered longer than before. When we finished, he thanked everyone from the bottom of his heart. More importantly, he no longer appeared alone. For the first time, the problem turned from a personal burden into something the whole community shared. What we learned was simple but profound: caring about a neighborhood means acting together, not looking on. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕哈里斯先生杂乱的草坪展开，小区居民误以为他懒惰散漫，会议上议论他的庭院，镇上还给他下发整改通知。作者了解到哈里斯先生身患膝关节炎与心脏病，无力打理草坪又不愿接受他人怜悯，意识到大家仅凭表面就误解他人困境，决定主动做点什么。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者挨家挨户向邻居说明哈里斯先生生病、无力打理草坪的实情，邻居得知真相心生愧疚，众人相约一同上门帮忙，起初哈里斯因不愿接受同情而拒绝，最终被邻居的真诚打动。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写众人修整草坪的过程，哈里斯坐在一旁微笑观望，完工后真诚道谢，大家也领悟到邻里之间不该冷眼旁观，要主动理解、彼此帮扶的道理。 2.续写线索：告知真相→邻居愧疚相约帮忙→哈里斯起初抗拒→接纳众人帮助→庭院修整一新→老人展露笑颜→邻里感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出援手：lend a hand/offer help ②集合：gather/meet 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/conscience  ②感激某人：thank sb./show gratitude to sb./be grateful to sb. 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Having learned the truth, all agreed to lend a hand, with one neighbor even offering his weeding machine without a second thought.

B An old, wise man sensed that his journey on Earth was coming to an end. The boy was still young, yet to discover the fullness of his own potential. Driven by a father’s love, he was determined to teach one final, crucial lesson before departing. He handed his son a watch, a family treasure handed down for generations. “Ask the jeweler how much it’s worth. But don’t accept any offer. Just come back home with the watch.” Following his father’s instruction, the boy went straight to the jeweler, who set its value at a mere hundred dollars, adding that a buyer would be hard to find. The son returned and reported the low valuation. The father nodded slowly. “Well. Then take it to the pawnshop (当铺). See what they say.” Though he hesitated inwardly, he dared not argue with his aging father. He went to the pawnshop, even seeking out two friends working there, hoping for a better price. Instead, they pointed out hairline scratches on the frame — flaws he had failed to notice despite carrying it all day— and offered him just a little more than the jeweler. The father paused for a moment and said, “Try the museum this time. There’s a woman I know. I sense she will know better what this watch is really worth.” Having met his father’s acquaintance, he ran back home, out of breath. “You won’t believe it! We finally got an amazing offer. She said she never thought she’d see one in person. The museum would like to buy it for $35000! I haven’t realized I was holding something that valuable.” His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.” 4. Why did the boy’s friends say the watch was scratched? A. To offer a lower price. B. To inform him of its flaw. C. To prove their honesty. D. To discourage him from selling. 5. How did the boy feel after visiting the museum? A. Doubtful. B. Ashamed. C. Thrilled. D. Confused. 6. Which of the following best describes the old man? A. Caring but strict. B. Wise but proud. C. Humble but hesitant. D. Insightful and patient. 7. What lesson can be learned from the story? A. You can’t put a price on old things. B. Always shop around before you buy. C. Stand where your strengths are celebrated. D. Behind a great man there are always supporters. C In forests, certain fungi (真菌) attach themselves to trees and fallen logs to break down the carbon within their wood and release it as carbon dioxide. However, when their preferred meal is unavailable, these wood-decaying fungi can consume plastic instead. White rot fungi, for example, break down lignin — a strong organic polymer that gives wood its rigidity — by using enzymes, which are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions within cells. “We reasoned that if these fungi can decay decay-resistant hardwoods, especially lignin, they might possess some tools to decay other polymers as well,” says Renuka Attanayake, a plant pathology professor at the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka. To test this theory, researchers collected 50 fungal samples from rotting wood in a dry forest in Sri Lanka. They were placed in two different conditions: one dish contained only plastic (low-density polyethylene), while the other offered a choice between plastic and wood. After a 45-day observation period, the results showed a clear preference. Although the fungi naturally gravitated toward the wood, they still succeeded in breaking down the plastic in both groups. More importantly, in the absence of wood, the degradation rate remained significant, pointing to an evolutionary survival mechanism. “These organisms are metabolically flexible,” Attanayake notes. “This may be an evolutionary advantage — the fungi had to survive on whatever was available.” Scientists do not yet know how the fungi’s chemical pathways change when consuming polyethylene, but white rot fungi use oxidizing enzymes to break down both wood and plastic. So far, over 430 species of fungi and bacteria have been found to break down plastic. If these enzymes can be identified and replicated, they could eventually help remove some of the 400 million tonnes of plastic waste produced each year, much of which ends up in landfills or spills into the ocean instead of being recycled. This study represents a small step toward understanding how fungi could help address plastic pollution. Nevertheless, scientists must first test how wood-decaying fungi perform in different conditions, such as landfills, and whether they pose a threat to native trees. “Under restricted conditions we may use this one day, but much more research is needed,” Attanayake said. 8. What does the underlined phrase “gravitated toward” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Broke down naturally. B. Moved away from. C. Reacted violently to. D. Showed a preference for. 9. What can be inferred about the fungi from the 45-day experiment? A. They cannot eat plastic if wood is available. B. They use plastic as a survival strategy when hungry. C. They need wood to activate the enzymes needed. D. They break down plastic faster than natural wood 10. What is Attanayake’s attitude towards the application of this technology? A. Critical and doubtful. B. Enthusiastic and blind. C. Supportive but reserved. D. Skeptical but open-minded. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Fungi: From Wood Decay to Plastic Solution B. Fungi: A New Hope for Forest Conservation C. Fungi: A Complete Guide to Their Life Cycle D. Fungi: The Only Hope for Plastic Pollution D In the digital age, the art of writing by hand has slowly been reduced to mere entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is crucial to brain health and development, offering multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we reconsidered the potential benefits it may bring to our mental capacities. According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections that are essential for encoding new information and forming memories. A recent investigation, for instance, found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand than for those who typed. Therefore, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on brain health. Handwriting is not only good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical advantages. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This finding extends beyond the classroom as well. People who recorded information on paper calendars displayed more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, consequently, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks. Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been in decline. However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced it into school curricula. This represents a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential for children’s brain development. For example, illiterate children who wrote by hand showed brain activity in the circuit used for learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development. Clearly, handwriting is a valuable activity with the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard,remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead. 12. What is the common view of handwriting in today’s digital era? A. It is no longer as popular as it used to be. B. It should be taught together with typing. C. It is now valued equally with digital tools. D. It remains an essential skill for daily life. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on regarding handwriting? A. Its role in improving brain connectivity. B. Its advantages in learning and memory tasks. C. Its effect on helping students score higher. D. Its value in adult daily management skills. 14. Why is previous research mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To add further evidence. B. To make a comparison.

Paper dictionaries feature exploratory learning. When turning pages, you will unavoidably encounter new words, phrases and typical sentences. ____17____ They also help deepen memory, as paper layout and physical use strengthen long-term word recall. Besides, they offer complete collocation and style information without digital distractions. ____18____ They allow instant word lookup without breaking your reading train of thought. Most are equipped with audio pronunciation, personalized word lists and spaced repetition systems to facilitate efficient vocabulary review. Top-grade ones are even connected to massive language corpora (语料库), revealing how certain words are employed in real-life contexts. Wise use of dictionaries lies in matching tools with learning tasks. For primary school students, paper dictionaries serve as a good helper to develop basic dictionary-searching skills. ____19____ Senior high school learners may rely mainly on electronic dictionaries for efficiency, while keeping a paper one at hand to check confusing word usages in depth. College students can combine both, with electronic tools for quick inquiry and paper ones for accurate writing. Some universal rules should be followed to make the most of dictionaries: try to guess word meanings before looking them up; turn to English explanations rather than Chinese versions; attach greater importance to example sentences than simple definitions. By sticking to these good habits, you can achieve a perfect balance between depth and efficiency. ____20____ All in all, dictionaries are merely learning tools. The ultimate goal is to cultivate independent thinking and the ability to use words flexibly in diverse contexts. A. But they have obvious drawbacks as well. B. Such a heated debate has persisted for years. C. Electronic dictionaries represent efficient learning. D. This unintended exposure boosts vocabulary expansion. E. Daily reading is the ideal occasion for us to consult dictionaries. F. Also, you’d better review newly learned words at regular intervals. G. Middle school students can use both fully for respective learning purposes. 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） Dan packed, ready for his one-year-long work abroad.

It came up during a neighborhood meeting. People were discussing small issues that had affected the town’s appearance. Then someone pointed down the street and said one yard had become “very unsightly.” A few neighbors nodded. No name was referred to, but everyone knew which house it was. It stood on the corner, small and gray, with grass that had grown tall and uneven. On my way to work, I slowed down. From far away, the lawn looked messy. Up close, it looked different. The grass was thin in places, and weeds had pushed through. The edges were soft, not sharp, as if time had slowly worn them down. Mr. Harris sat on the chair, his eyes fixed on the yard. When I greeted him, he smiled briefly, and then looked away. “They talk about it, don’t they?” he said quietly. His voice carried no anger. He had already learned what people thought of him and his yard. I slowly learned the story behind the yard. Mr. Harris lived alone. He had arthritis (关节炎) in his knees, and a heart problem that made it hard for him to breathe. Walking even a short distance left him weak. Now, trying to remove weeds only caused him pain that lasted for days. Still, he refused to ask for help. “I don’ t want pity,” he said. “I just don’t want them to misunderstand.” A warning notice from the town appeared on his door at the end of the week, urging him to take care of his yard. That was the moment everything changed for me. The yard was no longer a concern. It had become a sign of how easily people could mistake difficulty for laziness, and silence for carelessness. I realized that choosing not to act was also a choice — and it was part of the problem. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式作答。 After thinking for a while, I knew what I needed to do. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of the whole neighborhood, the yard became neat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
