From AI-driven monitoring systems to drone-based reforestation, these advancements are reshaping traditional approaches to ecological conservation. AI for Pollution Control Artificial Intelligence (AI) now plays a critical role in tracking pollution sources. For instance, Beijing has employed AI-powered sensors across the city to analyze air quality data in real time. These sensors identify pollution hotspots and predict smog trends with 92% accuracy, allowing authorities to carry out targeted emission reduction policies. Additionally, machine learning algorithms (算法) better waste sorting in recycling plants, increasing efficiency by 40% compared to manual methods. Drones and Reforestation Drones are transforming reforestation efforts in deforested regions. In the Amazon rainforest, companies use seed-planting drones capable of spreading 100,000 seeds daily. Equipped with GPS and soil analysis tools, these drones select ideal planting sites, achieving a survival rate of 70% — double that of traditional methods. This technology not only speeds forest recovery but also reduces labor costs by 60%. Blockchain for Carbon Credits Blockchain technology ensures transparency (透明) in carbon credit trading. Companies like EcoChain record carbon offset data, preventing cheats and double-counting. A 2024 study showed that blockchain-based systems boosted investor confidence, leading to a 35% increase in global carbon credit purchases. Despite these breakthroughs, challenges remain. High costs and limited accessibility block small-scale applications. However, experts believe that technologies like AI and drones will become mainstream by 2030. 21. Which of the following is a function of AI-powered sensors? A. Locating pollution sources. B. Managing waste sorting. C. Predicting climate changes. D. Controlling traffic emissions. 22. What do we know about blockchain technology? A. It reduces labor costs. B. It relies on carbon analysis tools. C. It enhances data openness. D. It favors small-scale applications. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To predict how AI monitors air pollution data. B. To compare different environmental analysis methods. C. To show the high costs of environmental technologies. D. To highlight how technology aids environmental protection. B People generally associate progress with ongoing collection of skills and tools. This fixed mindset once guided the early artistic exploration of Swedish photographer Elias Sundberg, believing that the more skills he mastered and the more advanced tools he used, the better his works would be. In his early career, Elias practiced shooting repeatedly, mastered advanced devices, and polished every detail of his works. He spent years learning professional post-processing techniques, trying to make each photo meet the highest industrial standards. His efforts paid off well: his photos were professionally structured and visually delicate, bringing him numerous awards and wide industry recognition. Many media and galleries praised his skilled techniques. Though technically faultless, he gradually noticed his highly refined works looked brilliant but rigid, lacking the genuine warmth that could connect with ordinary viewers. Trapped in such a creative dilemma, Elias began to reflect on his fixed working mode. He realized that his pursuit of formal perfection had greatly limited his inspiration and expression. To seek a breakthrough, he made a counter-intuitive attempt against mainstream trends. He set aside his high-end equipment and abandoned the complex post-processing skills he had spent years acquiring. For nearly two years, Elias used only a simple old camera to record urban life, giving up deliberate scene arrangement and fancy visual effects and focusing instead on spontaneous (即兴的) moments in daily life. He walked through streets at different hours, patiently waiting for natural scenes. He captured weary commuters at dusk, swaying leaves in the wind, and casual smiles between strangers, quietly documenting the overlooked simplicity of ordinary days. This subtle shift in his creative style brought striking changes. Free from rigid technical restrictions, his works regained vividness and sincerity. Though plain in appearance, his new photos touched countless people and won far more lasting public affection than his previous award-winning creations, earning him a new height in his artistic career. 24. What did Elias center on in his early career? A. Technical perfection. B. Award-winning chances. C. Public recognition. D. Sincere emotion within works. 25. What does the underlined word “counter-intuitive” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Fully supported by experience. B. Contrary to common sense. C. Identical to industrial standards. D. Highly praised by professionals. 26. Which of the following can best describe Elias’s later works? A. Rigid but artistic. B. Technical and formal. C. Plain but genuine. D. Brilliant and faultless. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. How Elias rebuilt strict technical restrictions. B. How simplicity revived Elias’s photography. C. How Elias set mainstream trends in art industry. D. How the standards of artistic perfection changed. C For decades, mainstream society has celebrated the ethic of constant effort. People are taught that success comes only from endless struggle, overtime work and total devotion to goals. High ambition and maximum output are regarded as the only respectable way of living. Recently, however, a subtle cultural shift has appeared among young generations: minimal-effort culture. Driven by the popular belief, many people constantly push themselves beyond physical and mental limits and regard long-hour work as a proud symbol of strict self-discipline. Thus the new trend is widely misunderstood by the public. It is often mistakenly labeled as laziness, escapism or a negative attitude toward life and work. In fact, minimal-effort living does not mean giving up self-progress or refusing to take due responsibility. It never encourages laziness or underperformance in daily tasks and career development. Instead, it refers to strategically cutting unnecessary exhaustion and inefficient efforts. Young people choose to concentrate their limited time and energy only on things that truly matter to their long-term growth and inner happiness, while deliberately lowering effort on meaningless social competition, blind comparison with peers and useless busywork that merely wastes energy and brings no real improvement. Psychologists regard this shift as a reasonable adaptation to intense modern pressure. The digital age has created an exhausting “productivity trap” that traps people in constant anxiety and stress. People are pushed to be always improving, always performing and always advancing, even at the cost of mental health. Minimal-effort culture serves as a gentle resistance. It helps individuals protect their emotional energy, maintain stable moods and keep a sustainable pace of life. Critics worry that this trend will weaken people’s willpower and reduce social competitiveness. Yet supporters argue that it represents mature life wisdom. True maturity, they believe, lies in knowing what to strive for and what to let go. Rather than chasing endless perfection, young people today prefer balanced growth and long-term well-being. This quiet cultural change does not signal failure; it shows a new generation’s independent and reasonable attitude toward life. 28. What does mainstream society value according to paragraph 1? A. Balanced lifestyles. B. Continuous struggle. C. Sound mental health. D. Minimal devotion to tasks. 29. What is the core of minimal-effort culture? A. Avoiding troublesome work. B. Shouldering social duties. C. Saving energy for meaningful things. D. Making instant progress. 30. What does the “productivity trap” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Reasonable escape from pressure. B. Endless pursuit of stable moods. C. Overwhelming anxiety from heavy work. D. Progress at the sacrifice of mental health. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards this trend? A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical. D Colombia hosts the world’s richest bird biodiversity, but when conservation ecologist Natalia attended college there in the mid-2000s, few birders visited. That has changed dramatically, according to an analysis of millions of records from eBird, a global database of bird observations. Birders from abroad have increasingly flocked to Colombia’s varied mountains, rain forests, and coasts. From 2010 to 2022, daily tourist activity on eBird increased by roughly 40 times, making Colombia the fastest-growing birdwatching destination. Yet ranking the buzziest global birding hotspots wasn’t the study’s main goal. Rather, a team led by Natalia wanted to know what drives bird-loving tourists to bring their equipment — and their wallets — to certain countries in order to encourage the sector. She and her colleagues used eBird to examine that question. They assigned each eBird user a likely country of residence based on the account’s activity — allowing them to identify when users traveled abroad and find trends. The results? A country’s standard of living and development influenced tourism patterns more than that nation’s birdlife, including both its total biodiversity and its unique “small-range” species that birders seek out. Additional factors the study didn’t analyze, such as birding and travel infrastructure (基础设施), visa requirements, affordability, and overall perception of safety, also likely play a part, she says. While not surprising, the results show that building a bird tourism economy in tropical (热带) countries requires basic development and security, as well as deliberate strategy. Costa Rica started along that path in the 1990s and now has a booming ecotourism industry. For Colombia — where decades of civil war ended with a peace deal in 2016 — progress is more recent. “You can recover from instability if you have some programs that help change the image of the country,” Natalia says. “The tourists will come to those birds as long as they feel safe.” While tourism can have downsides if not done responsibly and fairly, Natalia agrees that the country’s birding scene isn’t yet close to fulfilling its potential as a force for conservation and sustainable growth. And if that’s true in Colombia, it’s even more true for other bird-rich tropical nations that have yet to attract visitors. Natalia hopes her data can help local conservation advocates make the case that they should. 32. What did Natalia’s study focus on? A. Protecting small-range bird species. B. The popularity of database platforms. C. Ranking popular global birdwatching sites. D. Factors for choosing birdwatching destinations. 33. How did the team carry out the study? A. By analyzing eBird users’ activity data. B. By conducting field surveys in birding hotspots. C. By collecting information from local birdwatchers. D. By assessing travel infrastructure in different nations. 34. Why does the author mention Costa Rica in paragraph 4? A. To highlight a problem. B. To serve as an example. C. To illustrate a theory. D. To present a fact. 35. What does Natalia think of birding tourism in Colombia? A. It brought serious damage to habitat of local birds. B. It became a valuable model for other tropical countries. C. It achieved sustainable growth with proper management. D. It failed to realize its full value for environmental protection. 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。 Humans have long depended on animals. Whether we saw them as food or as a means of getting work done, they enabled us to survive. 36 Most of us don’t need them to work for us; we need them to love us. In a rapidly changing, digitally driven world, they keep us grounded and connected to reality. Petting a dog, listening to a cat purr, or even watching a school of fish swim activates sensory processes in our brains. Their textures, their non-verbal expressions, and even their smells force us to pay attention to the present rather than worry about the future. When they are begging for a treat or hoping for a head scratch, they make us feel as though our attention is valuable. 37 While we know that the people around us need us to do our jobs, to behave in civil ways, and to maintain relationships, human interactions are complex and mostly rely on language. 38 But it also makes it possible to lie and to manipulate (操控) each other. When dealing with others, we are always balancing our own desires and insecurities against theirs. When people betray our trust physically, financially, or emotionally, we wonder why we failed to detect the insincerity beneath their actions. But with animals, we have a sense that what you see is what you get. 39 If you harm them, they will hide or defend themselves, but they don’t pretend to love you while taking advantage of you behind your back. For many people, pets are more than just animals. 40 They offer us pure, honest affection that is hard to find in human communication. A. And they can make us feel needed. B. They are merely for fun and relaxation. C. Such interactions bring people peace of mind. D. If you are kind and loving, they draw close to you. E. But today, they occupy a unique space in our lives. F. They become loyal friends and trusted companions. G. It allows us to share information across time and space. 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。 Pearl Fryar was a self-taught topiary (树木造型艺术) artist.

IOC Executive Director Christophe Dubi once questioned, “Should we continue making ice for skating?” He added that cooling a bobsleigh track with 25 tons of chemicals would mark a true breakthrough, 57 (note) the same challenge applies to ice rinks (溜冰场). Fortunately, a Swiss firm named Glice has developed fully man-made ice, which performs 58 real ice without water, electricity or harmful refrigerants (制冷剂). Compared with traditional rinks, its surface gives athletes 59 identical feel. This innovation comes at a time 60 climate change shortens winters and raises costs for host cities. Refrigerated rinks consume 61 (mass) energy and rely on chemicals that damage ecosystems. Maintaining competition-grade ice in warmer cities is becoming far harder and costlier. Glice’s surface matches refrigerated ice in quality, 62 (confirm) by Europe’s top research institute. The company 63 (award) a chance to showcase two full-size rinks at the Olympics’ House of Switzerland, drawing wide attention. “These rinks are extremely popular and show 64 the future could hold for Winter Games,” said Manuel Salchli, head of the venue. By cutting energy use, such innovations offer hope that winter sports can survive, even as natural ice grows less reliable. 65 (obvious), the sports world needs solutions to keep its traditions alive. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，外教Frank想解同学们使用AI辅助写作的情况，委托你做了一项调查。请你写一篇发言稿，在口语课上与同学们分享调查结果并表达你的看法。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hello, everyone! Thanks for your listening! 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Lila grew up in a remote mountain village in Vermont, where the air smelled of pine and every winter brought heavy, biting snow. Unlike her city-raised classmates, who were glued to their phones and the latest tech devices, Lila found joy in something far simpler: weaving (编织) woolen scarves and socks, a skill she’d learned from her grandmother. Her grandmother, a master weaver, could turn plain wool into works of art — scarves dotted with pine tree patterns, socks lined with soft fleece, all made with nothing but a pair of wooden needles and wool. “Warmth isn’t just in the fabric,” Grandma would say, her fingers moving skillfully. “It’s in the care you put into every stitch. Warmth is meant to be shared.” Inspired by her words, Lila spent every free moment weaving, creating gifts for her family and neighbors. By the time she was 15, her scarves were famous in the village for their warmth and beauty. One winter, a heavy snowstorm swept through the region, leaving roads blocked and temperatures dropping far below freezing. On her way to school one morning, Lila noticed a young boy huddled (蜷缩) in the doorway of an abandoned storefront, shaking uncontrollably. He was a migrant worker’s child and had only a thin jacket to shelter him from the cold. “Are you okay?” Lila asked, stopping beside him. The boy nodded, but his teeth chattered too hard to speak. Without hesitation, Lila unwound the thickest scarf she’d ever made — deep green, woven with tiny snowflake patterns — and wrapped it around his neck. “This will keep you warm.” she said softly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The boy stared at her, eyes wide with surprise. The next day, Lila shared the idea of starting a weaving club with her classmates. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
