Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a place for literature that others regarded as beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice. McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined (注定的) for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding (装订) and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free glue, and an old printing machine passed down from her grandfather. Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it discovered the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, “Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history. McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are touchable memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories live longer than their shelves.” 4. What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books? A. The sight of books being thrown away. B. Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. C. A desire to teach others craft skills. D. A childhood love for classic literature. 5. Why does the author mention the fire-damaged The Little Prince? A. To illustrate McBride’s technical skills. B. To show the popularity of children’s books. C. To stress the emotional impact of her work. D. To compare different restoration challenges. 6. What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4? A. Damaged books can hardly carry any stories. B. Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular. C. McBride promises to keep worn books restored. D. Physical books can go beyond the physical form. 7. Which words best describe Elaine McBride? A. Brave and honest. B. Patient and devoted. C. Creative and cooperative. D. Ambitious and decisive. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍加拿大72岁的Elaine McBride退休后看到大量破损书籍将被丢弃，自学书籍修复手艺，十年来修复两千多本旧书并捐赠出去，她的工作打动他人，也证明纸质书籍拥有无可替代的精神价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined (注定的) for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding (装订) and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals.(从图书管理员岗位退休后，她偶然看到一堆破损书籍即将被送去垃圾填埋场。看到这种浪费她十分痛心，于是通过线上教程和老旧工艺手册自学书籍装订与修复技术)”可知，看到书籍被丢弃的景象促使她开始修复旧书。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital.(她最难忘的修复工作之一，是为当地一家儿童医院修复一本被大火烧坏的《小王子》) ”及“The child who received it discovered the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, “Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,” she recalls.(她回忆道，收到这本书的孩子发现了烧焦的书页，说道：“现在它就像我一样，受过灼伤却依旧被人珍爱。”)” 可知，作者提及这本被火烧毁的《小王子》是为了体现她的修复工作能带给人精神慰藉，凸显这份工作带来的情感影响力。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段““In a world of screens, these pages are touchable memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories live longer than their shelves.”(“在满眼电子屏幕的时代，这些书页是触手可及的回忆。” 她说道。尽管长时间劳作后她的双手总会酸痛，她却丝毫没有停下的意思。“我救下的每一本书都承载着一份承诺：故事的生命力，远比存放它们的书架更加长久。”)”可知，McBride认为纸质书籍承载记忆与故事，其价值超越书本本身的实体形态。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“I started with glue and patience(我最开始只靠胶水和十足的耐心动手修复)”以及第四段 “Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down.(尽管长时间工作后她的双手会酸痛，她却丝毫没有停下的打算)”可知，Elaine McBride耐心十足，并且全身心投入旧书修复事业。 C（改编） We already know how watching other people’s lives on social media can negatively affect our self-esteem (自尊) and satisfaction with our own lives. Apparently, using apps to track your own calories or fitness activities can have a similar effect. New research from scientists at University College London (UCL) suggests that fitness apps can actually become major negative factors. The researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 posts on the X platform. This data is particularly important because, unlike traditional surveys, people tend to share honest, true opinions online. The posts included feedback on popular apps, such as MyFitnessPal. Around 13,000 posts contained negative keywords the researchers tracked — and over half mentioned the calorie-counting app MyFitnessPal. At first glance, MyFitnessPal seems to offer everything you need to stay on top of your fitness and diet. It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import recipes or scan bar codes (条形码) from food packages — the app will do the rest, offering you guidance on what and when to eat. Sounds like working with a personal dietitian. However, many people are not so gratified about it. Senior author Dr. Paulina Bondarenek explained, “In these posts, we found a net of blame and shame, with people feeling they were not doing as well as they should be. These emotional effects may end up harming people’s motivation and health.” MyFitnessPal is also pretty easy to “fool”, since it’s up to users whether to record or leave out a meal. This creates a false sense that if something isn’t recorded in the app, it “didn’t happen”. Many admitted cheating (e.g., not logging a post-dinner cup of ice cream) to feel better, but this only led to more guilt. In some cases, people quit the app and their healthy habits altogether. It’s important to note the study only analyzed negative posts, so there’s no scientifically proven data on fitness apps’ benefits. Still, their harm is hard to pay no attention to. This is a clear wake-up call for developers to consider their products’ unintended results. 8. What do we know about MyFitnessPal? A. It provides personal dietitian services. B. It monitors health through exercise data. C. It records every meal without people’s help. D. It offers a wide range of fitness support services. 9. What does the underlined word “gratified” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Surprised. D. Worried. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards fitness apps? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Choose Fitness Apps B. Social Media vs Fitness Apps C. Fitness Apps: Unexpected Harms D. MyFitnessPal: A Perfect Fitness App 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍伦敦大学学院研究发现健身类应用程序会带来负面影响，以MyFitnessPal为例说明这类软件虽功能齐全，却会让使用者产生自责、愧疚情绪，还存在数据作假加重心理负担的问题，同时指出研究仅统计负面留言，呼吁开发者重视产品带来的潜在不良后果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“At first glance, MyFitnessPal seems to offer everything you need to stay on top of your fitness and diet. It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import recipes or scan bar codes (条形码)from food packages — the app will do the rest, offering you guidance on what and when to eat.(乍一看，MyFitnessPal似乎能全方位满足你健身与饮食管理的需求。它能让用户追踪热量摄入、监测蛋白质摄入并设定个性化目标。你只需导入食谱或扫描食品包装上的条形码，软件会完成后续操作，为你提供饮食种类与进食时间的相关指导。)”可知，MyFitnessPal提供多种健身饮食配套服务。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import recipes or scan bar codes (条形码) from food packages — the app will do the rest, offering you guidance on what and when to eat.(它能让用户追踪热量摄入、监测蛋白质摄入并设定个性化目标。你只需导入食谱或扫描食品包装上的条形码，软件会完成后续操作，为你提供饮食种类与进食时间的相关指导。)”及第四段“Senior author Dr. Paulina Bondarenek explained, “In these posts, we found a net of blame and shame, with people feeling they were not doing as well as they should be.”(该研究资深作者Paulina Bondarenek博士解释道：“我们在这些帖子中发现充斥着自责与羞愧情绪，用户总觉得自己做得不够好。”)”可知，前后形成转折，虽然该应用程序功能多样，但很多人对此软件并不满意，故gratified表示“满意的”。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“It’s important to note the study only analyzed negative posts, so there’s no scientifically proven data on fitness apps’ benefits. Still, their harm is hard to pay no attention to.(需要重点说明的是，该研究仅分析了负面留言，目前没有科学数据证实健身软件的益处，但它们带来的危害不容忽视。)”可知作者客观陈述研究结果，不偏袒、不绝对化。作者态度为客观的。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“New research from scientists at University College London (UCL) suggests that fitness apps can actually become major negative factors.(伦敦大学学院科学家的新研究表明，健身应用实际上会成为主要负面因素。)”以及全文围绕健身软件带来的意料之外的伤害展开论述，可知最合适的标题为“健身应用：意料之外的危害”。 D（原创） Urban (城市的) trees and plants do more than just beautify city landscapes. They clean the air, reduce urban heat islands, and provide relaxing spaces. As key parts of sustainable urban ecosystems, plants silently contribute to our well-being. However, urban trees face many threats, making it important to keep their health in check. In a recent study, a Japanese research team led by two professors developed a novel AI-driven solution for monitoring plant-health. This study introduces Plant Doctor, a hybrid (混合体) AI system that monitors urban tree health by itself through videos taken by ordinary cameras. “Machine vision algorithms (机器视觉算法) have great applications in the medical field. We wanted to extend this technology to other areas, such as plant health,” says first author Marques, explaining their reason. Plant Doctor combines two cutting-edge machine vision algorithms — YOLOv8 and DeepSORT — to identify and track individual leaves across video images. The goal of these algorithms is to ensure that only the best images for each leaf are selected for further processing. Then, a third algorithm, called DeepLabV3Plus, performs detailed image analysis to precisely measure leaf damage. This system can identify diseased areas on individual leaves, such as spots caused by insects. One of the most attractive aspects of this approach is that it can be easily expanded and is cost-effective. The system can process videos collected by cameras on drones and on city maintenance vehicles like refuse trucks, turning everyday services into opportunities to gather data without using considerable resources. Moreover, by using images rather than actual branches and leaves, Plant Doctor reduces stress on city plants. “We have provided a tool for botanical (植物学的) experts to check plant health in one solution without the need to damage the plants in the process,” remarks Marques. In summary, this technology represents a significant step toward more sustainable town and country plant health monitoring, allowing botanical experts to focus more on strategic actions rather than everyday monitoring. 12. What is the primary purpose of the Plant Doctor system? A. To beautify urban environments. B. To explore plants’ health benefits. C. To cool the downtown temperature. D. To monitor the health of urban plants. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The methods of image analysis. B. The influence of disease on plants. C. The detailed process of the AI-driven tool. D. The potential application of Plant Doctor. 14. Which of the following can best describe the system according to Marques? A. Plant-friendly. B. Time-consuming. C. Short-sighted. D. Error-free. 15. Who are the main target users of this technology? A. Local residents. B. Plant science specialists. C. Refuse truck drivers. D. Government officials. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了由日本研究团队开发的“Plant Doctor”AI系统，该系统通过视频监测城市树木健康，运用机器视觉算法识别和追踪叶片损伤，实现无损伤植物健康监测，推动城市植物可持续管理。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“This study introduces Plant Doctor, a hybrid AI system that monitors urban tree health by itself through videos taken by ordinary cameras.(这项研究推出了Plant Doctor，这是一个混合AI系统，通过普通相机拍摄的视频自动监测城市树木的健康状况。)”可知，Plant Doctor系统的主要目的是监测城市植物的健康状况。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段中的“Plant Doctor combines two cutting-edge machine vision algorithms... to identify and track individual leaves.( Plant Doctor结合了两种前沿的机器视觉算法来识别和追踪单片叶子)”以及“Then, a third algorithm, called DeepLabV3Plus, performs detailed image analysis to precisely measure leaf damage.(然后，第三个算法执行详细的图像分析，以精确测量叶片损伤。)”可知，本段主要介绍了这款AI驱动工具运作的详细过程。C选项“The detailed process of the AI-driven tool.( 人工智能驱动工具的详细流程)”概括本段段旨，符合题意。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中Marques所说的话“Moreover, by using images rather than actual branches and leaves, Plant Doctor reduces stress on city plants. ‘We have provided a tool for botanical experts to check plant health in one solution without the need to damage the plants in the process,’(此外，通过使用图像而不是实际的树枝和树叶，Plant Doctor减少了对城市植物的压力。‘我们为植物专家提供了一种工具，可在不损伤植物的情况下，通过一个解决方案来检查植物的健康状况。’)”可知，该系统在检测过程中不会伤害植物，因此Marques认为它是对植物友好的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“We have provided a tool for botanical experts to check plant health in one solution without the need to damage the plants in the process (我们为植物专家提供了一种工具，可在不损伤植物的情况下，通过一个解决方案来检查植物的健康状况。)”以及最后一段的“In summary, this technology represents a significant step toward more sustainable town and country plant health monitoring, allowing botanical experts to focus more on strategic actions rather than everyday monitoring.(总的来说，这项技术代表着迈向更可持续的城乡植物健康监测的重要一步，让植物学专家能够更多专注于策略性行动，而非日常监测。)”可知，这项技术的主要目标用户是植物学专家，即植物科学专家。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）（原创） Music: A Natural Booster for Mind and Body Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well-being and physical health in surprising ways.

Golden sunlight ________ (stream) through the leaves of the oak tree covered the ground with spots of light. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】streaming 【解析】 【详解】句意：透过橡树树叶倾泻而下的金色阳光，在地上洒下斑驳的光影。句子的谓语动词是covered，因此空格处应填入非谓语动词，sunlight与动词stream之间是逻辑上的主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式streaming作后置定语，修饰前面的名词短语Golden sunlight。 49.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】approached 【解析】 【详解】句意：当寒冷的夜风扫过山顶时，我们队的每个成员都走近那座温暖的木屋，它为我们提供了躲避即将到来的大雨的庇护所。空处是谓语动词，根据时间状语从句“When cold night wind swept across the mountain top”可知，描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。 50.

A grand stage, ________ local artists present the breathtaking countryside scenery of Ireland and its precious age-old traditions, leaves every visitor deeply impressed. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】句意：一个宏大的舞台，当地艺术家们在上面展示了爱尔兰令人惊叹的乡村风光及其珍贵的古老传统，给每一位游客留下了深刻的印象。此处引导非限制性定语从句，用来修饰先行词A grand stage,为地点名词，定语从句中句子结构完整，需要填入关系副词 where引导，在从句中作地点状语。 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）（原创） 56. 野生动物是大自然的重要组成部分，维系着生态系统的平衡。假如你是学生会主席李华，学校将举办以保护野生动物为主题的英语演讲比赛。请你根据以下要点写一篇演讲稿。内容包括： 1. 存在的危机；2. 解决的措施。 注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That’s all!

B（改编） In a quiet corner of Montreal, Canada, 72-year-old Elaine McBride has spent the past decade breathing new life into abandoned books. Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a place for literature that others regarded as beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice. McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined (注定的) for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding (装订) and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free glue, and an old printing machine passed down from her grandfather. Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it discovered the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, “Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history. McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are touchable memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories live longer than their shelves.” 4. What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books? A. The sight of books being thrown away. B. Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. C. A desire to teach others craft skills. D. A childhood love for classic literature. 5. Why does the author mention the fire-damaged The Little Prince? A. To illustrate McBride’s technical skills. B. To show the popularity of children’s books. C. To stress the emotional impact of her work. D. To compare different restoration challenges. 6. What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4? A. Damaged books can hardly carry any stories. B. Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular. C. McBride promises to keep worn books restored. D. Physical books can go beyond the physical form. 7. Which words best describe Elaine McBride? A. Brave and honest. B. Patient and devoted. C. Creative and cooperative. D. Ambitious and decisive. C（改编） We already know how watching other people’s lives on social media can negatively affect our self-esteem (自尊) and satisfaction with our own lives. Apparently, using apps to track your own calories or fitness activities can have a similar effect. New research from scientists at University College London (UCL) suggests that fitness apps can actually become major negative factors. The researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 posts on the X platform. This data is particularly important because, unlike traditional surveys, people tend to share honest, true opinions online. The posts included feedback on popular apps, such as MyFitnessPal. Around 13,000 posts contained negative keywords the researchers tracked — and over half mentioned the calorie-counting app MyFitnessPal. At first glance, MyFitnessPal seems to offer everything you need to stay on top of your fitness and diet. It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import recipes or scan bar codes (条形码) from food packages — the app will do the rest, offering you guidance on what and when to eat. Sounds like working with a personal dietitian. However, many people are not so gratified about it. Senior author Dr. Paulina Bondarenek explained, “In these posts, we found a net of blame and shame, with people feeling they were not doing as well as they should be. These emotional effects may end up harming people’s motivation and health.” MyFitnessPal is also pretty easy to “fool”, since it’s up to users whether to record or leave out a meal. This creates a false sense that if something isn’t recorded in the app, it “didn’t happen”. Many admitted cheating (e.g., not logging a post-dinner cup of ice cream) to feel better, but this only led to more guilt. In some cases, people quit the app and their healthy habits altogether. It’s important to note the study only analyzed negative posts, so there’s no scientifically proven data on fitness apps’ benefits. Still, their harm is hard to pay no attention to. This is a clear wake-up call for developers to consider their products’ unintended results. 8. What do we know about MyFitnessPal? A. It provides personal dietitian services. B. It monitors health through exercise data. C. It records every meal without people’s help. D. It offers a wide range of fitness support services. 9. What does the underlined word “gratified” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Surprised. D. Worried. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards fitness apps? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Choose Fitness Apps B. Social Media vs Fitness Apps C. Fitness Apps: Unexpected Harms D. MyFitnessPal: A Perfect Fitness App D（原创） Urban (城市的) trees and plants do more than just beautify city landscapes. They clean the air, reduce urban heat islands, and provide relaxing spaces. As key parts of sustainable urban ecosystems, plants silently contribute to our well-being. However, urban trees face many threats, making it important to keep their health in check. In a recent study, a Japanese research team led by two professors developed a novel AI-driven solution for monitoring plant-health. This study introduces Plant Doctor, a hybrid (混合体) AI system that monitors urban tree health by itself through videos taken by ordinary cameras. “Machine vision algorithms (机器视觉算法) have great applications in the medical field. We wanted to extend this technology to other areas, such as plant health,” says first author Marques, explaining their reason. Plant Doctor combines two cutting-edge machine vision algorithms — YOLOv8 and DeepSORT — to identify and track individual leaves across video images. The goal of these algorithms is to ensure that only the best images for each leaf are selected for further processing. Then, a third algorithm, called DeepLabV3Plus, performs detailed image analysis to precisely measure leaf damage. This system can identify diseased areas on individual leaves, such as spots caused by insects. One of the most attractive aspects of this approach is that it can be easily expanded and is cost-effective. The system can process videos collected by cameras on drones and on city maintenance vehicles like refuse trucks, turning everyday services into opportunities to gather data without using considerable resources. Moreover, by using images rather than actual branches and leaves, Plant Doctor reduces stress on city plants. “We have provided a tool for botanical (植物学的) experts to check plant health in one solution without the need to damage the plants in the process,” remarks Marques. In summary, this technology represents a significant step toward more sustainable town and country plant health monitoring, allowing botanical experts to focus more on strategic actions rather than everyday monitoring. 12. What is the primary purpose of the Plant Doctor system? A. To beautify urban environments. B. To explore plants’ health benefits. C. To cool the downtown temperature. D.
