Against the backdrop of a growing water crisis in India, an ancient underground, labyrinth-like (迷宫样的) structure is emerging as one solution to boosting its shrinking reserves — stepwells. The complex, terraced (梯田状的) water storage was once the lifeblood of Indian communities — developed centuries ago to store and access water for drinking, agriculture and industry, and it also functioned as a local gathering spot.
Today, many of these architectural wonders have been damaged — victims of neglect, pollution and a rapidly urbanizing India. But Indian environmentalist Arun Krishnamurthy, has made it his new mission to tap into this technology of the past, to secure water for its future. For almost 20 years, Krishnamurthy has worked to bring India's decreasing bodies of water back to life through his organization Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI).
EFI has restored 657 water bodies across 19 states — from lakes to ponds, and most recently stepwells. “Stepwell restoration is the next big challenge that I would like to add to EFI's responsibilities because we have a greater responsibility now for protecting the historical heritage, which is evidence of human intelligence,” Krishnamurthy says.
EFI already draws on the stepwell design principles of its ancestors to guide its lake and pond restoration efforts. “They include the engineering, land use, understanding the water flows, the storage parameters (参数): How were the steps built? Where was the palm tree planted? How was the canal cut?” Krishnamurthy says, “So we take lessons from the past, and adapting them to the present-day challenges is what we are carrying out.”
Despite his extensive experience in recovering freshwater bodies, Krishnamurthy says stepwells are uniquely demanding. Restoring these ancient structures calls for specialized traditional knowledge and craftsmanship — and even after they are revived, human destruction makes their maintenance an ongoing struggle. Krishnamurthy says these stepwells will need public responsibility to safeguard their future.
24. What can we learn about stepwells from paragraph 1?
A. They are freshly constructed water projects.
B. They are built on the ground for easy access.
C. They served multiple purposes in ancient India.
D. They were designed to deal with industrial waste.
25. What does Krishnamurthy think of restoring stepwells?
A. It is a duty and a challenge.
B. It is costly but meaningful.
C. It is easy with modern tools.
D. It is based on lake restoration.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To describe the structure of old stepwells.
B. To stress the necessity of water protection.
C. To explain the difficulty in restoring stepwells.
D. To show the value of ancient stepwell wisdom.
27. What is needed to protect stepwells in the long run according to Krishnamurthy?
A. Steady urbanization. B. Community involvement.
C. Modern engineering. D. More government funding.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍印度阶梯井的作用、损毁现状及环保组织修复阶梯井的行动与难点。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The complex, terraced (梯田状的) water storage was once the lifeblood of Indian communities — developed centuries ago to store and access water for drinking, agriculture and industry, and it also functioned as a local gathering spot.(这种复杂的梯田式储水设施曾是印度社群的命脉,数百年前建成,储存饮用水、工农业用水,同时也是当地民众聚集地。)”可知,古代阶梯井具备多种用途。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Stepwell restoration is the next big challenge that I would like to add to EFI's responsibilities because we have a greater responsibility now for protecting the historical heritage, which is evidence of human intelligence,” Krishnamurthy says.(克里希纳穆尔蒂表示:“阶梯井修复是我希望为EFI新增的下一项重大挑战,如今我们肩负着更重的责任,要保护这份承载人类智慧的历史遗产。”)”可知,克里希纳穆尔蒂认为修复阶梯井既是一份责任,也是一大挑战。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中 “EFI already draws on the stepwell design principles of its ancestors to guide its lake and pond restoration efforts. “They include the engineering, land use, understanding the water flows, the storage parameters (参数): How were the steps built? Where was the palm tree planted? How was the canal cut?” Krishnamurthy says, “So we take lessons from the past, and adapting them to the present-day challenges is what we are carrying out.”(印度环保基金会早已借鉴古人的阶梯井设计理念,指导湖泊与池塘的修复工作。克里希纳穆尔蒂提到:“这些理念涵盖工程设计、土地利用、水流规律认知、储水参数设定——比如台阶如何修建、棕榈树种在何处、运河如何开凿。我们从过去汲取经验,再将其适配当下的现实挑战,这正是我们正在推进的工作。”)”可知,本段意在展现古代阶梯井蕴含的水利智慧极具价值,如今仍能提供借鉴。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Krishnamurthy says these stepwells will need public responsibility to safeguard their future.(克里希纳穆尔蒂表示,阶梯井的长远保护需要公众担起责任。)”可知,长久保护阶梯井离不开民众、社区参与。
C
To the untrained eye, there is very little difference between the three known versions of the artwork The Lute Player. Almost identical in composition, the paintings all portray a young subject, in white clothes and with an instrument in hand, turning slightly away from the viewer. Each appears to carry Italian painter Caravaggio’s distinctive mastery of light and shadow.
To art historians, however, there has long been broad agreement: The versions held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by Caravaggio, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is merely a copy.
A Swiss tech company begged to differ, and it claimed there was an almost 86% chance that Badminton House’s version is authentic. The company’s AI model, which was trained to recognize markers of Caravaggio’s style, including shapes, color palettes and compositional structures, also declared (though with less statistical certainty) that Wildenstein’s version was likely a copy. Its analysis found “a significant difference” between the latter painting’s “visual characteristics” and those of Caravaggio’s other works.
The company’s declarations have not always contradicted the established scholarship. It claimed that a long-debated painting of Vincent van Gogh at the National Museum in Oslo had a 97% chance of being genuine. The Vincent van Gogh authorship was later matched by more conventional research, including technical analyses and studies of the artist’s letters.
The company’s authentication approach combines machine learning, deep neural networks and computer vision algorithms (算法). To date, the company has produced models for over 200 artists. In each, the AI is trained on two photographic datasets: a “positive” one, containing images of recognized paintings by the artist mentioned, and a “negative” one comprising similar but inauthentic works. The company emphasized that having a “high degree of similarity” between the two datasets to learn the difference is crucial.
“I have reservations about it. Authentication is rarely just about surface style,” said art historian Sharon Hecker. “You have to know about the workshop, practices, materials, the condition of the work, the restoration history, and how a particular artist’s work evolved over time.”
28. What do we know about the three versions of The Lute Player?
A. They are recognized as Caravaggio’s artworks.
B. They differ greatly in composition and light use.
C. They look almost the same to non-professionals.
D. They are refused by famous European museums.
29. Why is the Vincent van Gogh’s painting mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To prove AI research has its reliability.
B. To show the limits of traditional art study.
C. To compare different creating styles of art.
D. To stress the difficulty in painting creation.
30. What is Sharon Hecker’s attitude to the AI authentication method?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Joins in Artwork Identification
B. Conflicts of Caravaggio’s Artworks
C. AI Represents Traditional Art Appreciation
D. Approaches to Preserving Old Masterpieces
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍AI技术鉴定名画,其结论引发争议,专家对此心存质疑。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“To the untrained eye, there is very little difference between the three known versions of the artwork The Lute Player.(在外行看来,艺术品《弹鲁特琴者》的三个已知版本几乎没有差别)”可知,非专业人士眼中这三幅画作外观几乎一致。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The company’s declarations have not always contradicted the established scholarship. It claimed that a long-debated painting of Vincent van Gogh at the National Museum in Oslo had a 97% chance of being genuine. The Vincent van Gogh authorship was later matched by more conventional research, including technical analyses and studies of the artist’s letters.(这家公司的判定结果并非始终与主流学术观点相悖。它曾提出,奥斯陆国家博物馆中一幅长期存疑的梵高作品有97%的概率为真迹,后续通过技术分析、研究艺术家书信等传统手段开展的研究,也印证了这幅作品确为梵高真迹)”可知,举梵高画作案例是为证明AI鉴定具备一定可信度。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I have reservations about it. Authentication is rarely just about surface style,” said art historian Sharon Hecker. “You have to know about the workshop, practices, materials, the condition of the work, the restoration history, and how a particular artist’s work evolved over time.”(艺术史学家莎伦·赫克表示:“我对此持保留态度。艺术品鉴定绝非只看表面风格这么简单。你必须了解相关工坊背景、创作技法、材料属性、作品保存状态、修复历史,以及特定艺术家的创作风格随时间演变的脉络。”)”可知,莎伦·赫克对AI鉴定画作的方法心存疑虑。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕瑞士科技公司利用AI算法鉴别画作真伪展开,以卡拉瓦乔画作分歧、梵高画作成功验证为例,并引出艺术史学家的质疑,A选项“AI Joins in Artwork Identification(AI参与艺术品鉴定)”符合题意,适合作为标题。
D
A new study sheds light on how methane (甲烷) is produced in the open ocean. Researchers at the University of Rochester identified the process could grow stronger as global temperatures rise.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, yet scientists have long been puzzled by an unusual pattern. Surface ocean waters regularly release methane into the atmosphere, even though these waters contain plenty of oxygen. Traditionally, methane formation has been linked to environments without oxygen, such as wetlands or deep ocean sediments.
To better understand this contradiction, the research team combined global data with computer simulations. They found that certain microbes (微生物) can produce methane as they break down organic material, but only when phosphate, a key nutrient, is in short supply. This discovery changes how scientists view methane production in marine environments.
The study also highlights how climate change could influence this process in the future. As the ocean warms, the difference in density between surface water and deeper layers increases. This is expected to slow the upward and downward mixing that carries nutrients like phosphate up from depth. With less mixing, fewer nutrients reach the surface. The team’s model shows that this could leave surface waters increasingly depleted of phosphate, creating favorable conditions for methane-producing microbes.
If methane production rises, more of this gas could escape into the atmosphere. Because methane is so effective at trapping heat, this creates the risk of an intensifying cycle: Warmer oceans lead to higher methane emission, which then contributes to further warming.
Importantly, this cycle mechanism is not yet included in most major climate models. As scientists work to improve predictions, accounting for processes like this may be crucial for understanding how quickly climate change will progress. “Our work will help fill a key gap in climate prediction, which often ignores interactions between the changing environment and natural greenhouse gas sources to the atmosphere,” says Thomas Weber, one member of the research team.
32. What puzzled scientists about methane in the open ocean?
A. It is produced in deep ocean. B. It is fading in trapping heat.
C. It arises in oxygen-rich water. D. It speeds up ocean warming.
33. What does the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Warned. B. Composed. C. Accused. D. Starved.
34. What can be inferred about the cycle mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. It relies on sufficient phosphate.
B. It could speed up global warming.
C. It is included in most climate models.
D. It weakens methane’s warming effect.
35. What does Thomas Weber think of their discovery?
A. It applies to specific ocean regions.
B. It’s a missing link in climate models.
C. It’s a result based on ideal conditions.
D. It works in controlling climate change.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于海洋甲烷生成的全新研究,解开了含氧表层海水释放甲烷的科学矛盾,阐释海洋升温会减少表层磷酸盐、催生产甲烷微生物,形成加剧变暖的循环,同时说明该机制尚未纳入主流气候模型,此项研究填补气候预测的空白。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, yet scientists have long been puzzled by an unusual pattern. Surface ocean waters regularly release methane into the atmosphere, even though these waters contain plenty of oxygen. (甲烷是强效温室气体,但长期以来科学家都对一种反常现象感到困惑:即使海洋表层水体富含氧气,却持续向大气释放甲烷。)”可知,让科学家困惑的是甲烷在富氧水体中产生。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“This is expected to slow the upward and downward mixing that carries nutrients like phosphate up from depth. With less mixing, fewer nutrients reach the surface. The team’s model shows that this could leave surface waters increasingly depleted of phosphate, creating favorable conditions for methane-producing microbes. (预计这会减缓海水上下对流,而这种对流能将磷酸盐等营养物质从深海带到表层。对流减弱后,抵达表层的营养物质会变少。该研究团队的模型显示,这会使表层海水中的磷酸盐愈发depleted,为产甲烷微生物创造适宜生存的环境。)”可知,前文提到磷酸盐供给不足会催生产甲烷微生物,推断depleted表示“匮乏,短缺”,与D选项“Starved.(匮乏的)”含义相近。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Because methane is so effective at trapping heat, this creates the risk of an intensifying cycle: Warmer oceans lead to higher methane emission, which then contribute to further warming. (因甲烷储热能力极强,造成恶性循环的风险:海洋升温会提升甲烷排放量,甲烷又会进一步加剧全球变暖。)”可知,该循环会加快全球变暖进程。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘Our work will help fill a key gap in climate prediction, which often ignores interactions between the changing environment and natural greenhouse gas sources to the atmosphere,’ says Thomas Weber, one member of the research team. (研究团队成员Thomas Weber表示:‘我们的研究将填补气候预测中的关键空白,现有预测往往忽视环境变化与天然温室气体排放之间的关联。’)”可知,他认为这项发现弥补了气候模型缺失的关键环节。

As you know, your bones are living tissue. ____36____ When the growth of new bone tissue does not keep up with the loss of old bone tissue, you may develop a medical condition called osteoporosis (骨质疏松).
Normal bones have many tiny holes. With osteoporosis, the bones become so thin in places that even a simple cough can result in a bone fracture (骨折). About 200 million people worldwide have osteoporosis. Health experts say that number will increase greatly as more people get older. ____37____ Usually, people get osteoporosis for a lack of calcium or vitamin D.
Even people who exercise often can have low bone density. This can lead to osteoporosis. Take cyclist Dean Hargett as an example. Every week, Hargett bikes more than 160 kilometers. This exercise benefits his heart, but it does little for his bones. He was surprised when the doctors told him that he had low bone density. ____38____
To help your bones stay healthy, the National Osteoporosis Foundation in the US suggests doing weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises. ____39____ They are dancing, hiking, jogging, running, jumping rope, stair climbing and tennis. For muscle-strengthening exercises, it suggests lifting weights.
____40____ Get enough calcium and vitamin D. New research shows that vitamin K may also be good for your bones. Good sources of vitamin K include dark leafy greens. In daily life, cut down on your salt use and avoid too much soda as well. These two substances can affect how your body uses calcium.
A. After all, everyone’s bones weaken with age.
B. And they’re always breaking down and regrowing.
C. Osteoporosis can be prevented according to experts.
D. Remember that what you put into your body matters too.
E. There are examples of high-impact weight-bearing exercises.
F. So, even if you’re very active, that doesn’t mean you have strong bones.
G. All in all, unhealthy lifestyles have a negative impact on your bone health.

由上文“As you know, your bones are living tissue.(众所周知,骨骼是活性组织。)”以及下文“When the growth of new bone tissue does not keep up with the loss of old bone tissue, you may develop a medical condition called osteoporosis (骨质疏松).(当新生骨组织的生成速度跟不上老旧骨组织的流失速度时,你可能会患上一种名为骨质疏松的疾病。)”可知,设空处要承接骨骼是活性组织,引出骨骼持续分解再生。B选项“And they’re always breaking down and regrowing.(且它们总在不断分解、重新生长。)”能承上启下,符合题意,选项中they指代上文“bones”,“breaking down and regrowing”与下文“new bone tissue”、“old bone tissue”相呼应。
【37题详解】
由上文“Health experts say that number will increase greatly as more people get older.(健康专家表示,随着老龄化加剧,患病人数会大幅上涨。)”以及下文“Usually, people get osteoporosis for a lack of calcium or vitamin D.(通常,人们患上骨质疏松是缺乏钙或维生素D。)”可知,设空处衔接年龄增长患病增多这一内容。A选项“After all, everyone’s bones weaken with age.(毕竟所有人的骨骼都会随年龄老化变脆弱。)”能承接上文,引起下文,符合题意,选项中“with age”与上文“as more people get older”相呼应,“bones weaken with age”与下文“for a lack of calcium or vitamin D”相呼应。

He was surprised when the doctors told him that he had low bone density.(Hargett每周骑行160多公里,这项运动对心脏有益,但对骨骼作用很小,当医生告诉他骨密度偏低时他十分意外。)”可知,本段说明经常运动也可能骨密度低。F选项“So, even if you’re very active, that doesn’t mean you have strong bones.(因此,即便你运动量很大,也不代表骨骼强健。)”能总结本段案例,符合题意,选项中“very active”对应上文“Every week, Hargett bikes more than 160 kilometers”,“doesn’t mean you have strong bones”与上文“he had low bone density”形成呼应。
【39题详解】
由上文“To help your bones stay healthy, the National Osteoporosis Foundation in the US suggests doing weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises.(为维持骨骼健康,美国国家骨质疏松基金会建议人们进行负重运动与肌肉强化训练。)”以及下文“They are dancing, hiking, jogging, running, jumping rope, stair climbing and tennis.(它们是跳舞、远足、慢跑、跑步、跳绳、爬楼梯和网球。)”可知,后文列举各类负重运动,设空处引出负重运动实例。E选项“There are examples of high-impact weight-bearing exercises.(这里有高冲击性负重运动的相关例子。)”能引起下文列举内容,符合题意,选项中“weight-bearing exercises”与上文“weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises”原词呼应,下文they指代选项中的“examples”。
【40题详解】
由下文“Get enough calcium and vitamin D. New research shows that vitamin K may also be good for your bones. Good sources of vitamin K include dark leafy greens. In daily life, cut down on your salt use and avoid too much soda as well.(摄入充足的钙和维生素D。新研究表明,维生素K同样对骨骼有益。深色绿叶蔬菜富含维生素K。日常生活中,减少食盐摄入,同时少喝碳酸饮料。)”可知,本段为饮食摄入相关建议。D选项“Remember that what you put into your body matters too.(要记住,摄入体内的物质同样很重要。)”能总起本段,选项中引出饮食养护骨骼的内容,符合题意,“put into your body”与下文“calcium and vitamin D”、“vitamin K”、“cut down on your salt use and avoid too much soda”相呼应。

【答案】参考范文:
Dear Miss Jenkins,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I’m excited to learn about the coming English Dubbing Contest, and I’d like to share a suggestion about its form.
I suggest allowing students to form small teams of 2-4 members instead of competing alone. My reasons are simple. First, teamwork can reduce stage fright and help students learn from each other. Second, group dubbing often sounds more natural and lively, which will make the contest more enjoyable for both the participants and the audience. In my opinion, a team-based contest would encourage more students to join and show their talents.
Thank you for considering my idea.
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 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。
Luke grew up in a modest family in the small town of Cedarville. His parents worked hard to make ends meet, but they always made sure Luke felt loved and secure. After graduating from high school, Luke moved to a big city to pursue his college degree in social work. During his studies, he often volunteered at local shelters and community centers. There, he met many children sleeping on the floor or on old, worn-out couches. Those children looked tired and unhappy, and their lack of proper sleeping arrangements broke Luke’s heart. He knew he had to do something to change this situation.
Inspired by what he witnessed during his volunteer work, Luke decided to establish an organization called Sleep in Fantastic Peace (SFP). His motivation was simple yet powerful: to ensure that every child in need could have a comfortable bed to sleep in. The purpose of the organization was to build and deliver beds to children across the United States who didn’t have one of their own.
Initially, Luke built beds himself with his family. The effort grew rapidly as local communities joined, driven by Luke’s passion. Over the years, SFP grew steadily. They built and delivered thousands of beds to children in different states. But Luke always dreamed of doing something even bigger, something that could make a huge impact in a short period.
That opportunity came when Luke decided to organize a massive bed-building event in the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina. The goal was to build 3,000 beds in just 24 hours for children who didn’t have a bed of their own. To achieve this, Luke and his team worked tirelessly on the planning. They created a detailed schedule, divided the volunteers into different teams, and arranged for the delivery of all the necessary materials.
On the event day, more than 2,500 volunteers flooded into the Charlotte Convention Center. They came from all walks of life — students, corporate teams, and families — united by a single purpose.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The work of building beds began in the volunteers’ busy activities.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the clock struck the 24-hour mark, the goal was met.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
The work of building beds began in the volunteers’ busy activities. Volunteers were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific part of the bed-building process. Some were cutting the wood, some were assembling the frames, and others were attaching the mattresses and bedding. Luke moved around the center, encouraging the volunteers and making sure everything was running smoothly. As the hours passed, the number of completed beds kept increasing. The volunteers worked with great enthusiasm, knowing that they were making a real difference in the lives of children.
As the clock struck the 24-hour mark, the goal was met. 3,000 beds stood ready for delivery. Luke addressed the volunteers, “This is just the beginning,” his voice trembling with emotion. “We’ve shown that when people come together, we can make a huge difference.” He thanked them for giving children the gift of sleep. And so, Luke and his team at SFP continued their mission, knowing that their efforts were bringing sweet dreams to children all across the country, just as they had set out to do.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Luke的公益初心为主线,讲述了他大学做志愿者时目睹贫困孩童无床可睡,创立SFP组织为困难儿童打造床铺;多年后他策划一场24小时赶制3000张床的大型公益活动,两千五百名各行各业志愿者齐聚会场合力劳作,最终圆满完成目标,Luke借此呼吁更多人携手传递温暖,持续践行帮扶孩童的使命。
【详解】1. 段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写三千张床铺全部完工整装待发,Luke激动地向全体志愿者致辞,感慨众人凝聚的力量能创造巨大改变;他感谢大家送给孩子们安稳睡眠的礼物,SFP团队也将坚守初心,持续为全国孩子带去安睡与美梦。
2. 续写线索: 志愿者分组分工开工——Luke巡视鼓励众人——床铺数量不断增加、全员热情劳作——时限抵达,三千张床铺完工——Luke动情演讲致谢志愿者、点明团结的力量——团队坚守公益使命,持续帮扶各地孩童

Against the backdrop of a growing water crisis in India, an ancient underground, labyrinth-like (迷宫样的) structure is emerging as one solution to boosting its shrinking reserves — stepwells. The complex, terraced (梯田状的) water storage was once the lifeblood of Indian communities — developed centuries ago to store and access water for drinking, agriculture and industry, and it also functioned as a local gathering spot.
Today, many of these architectural wonders have been damaged — victims of neglect, pollution and a rapidly urbanizing India. But Indian environmentalist Arun Krishnamurthy, has made it his new mission to tap into this technology of the past, to secure water for its future. For almost 20 years, Krishnamurthy has worked to bring India's decreasing bodies of water back to life through his organization Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI).
EFI has restored 657 water bodies across 19 states — from lakes to ponds, and most recently stepwells. “Stepwell restoration is the next big challenge that I would like to add to EFI's responsibilities because we have a greater responsibility now for protecting the historical heritage, which is evidence of human intelligence,” Krishnamurthy says.
EFI already draws on the stepwell design principles of its ancestors to guide its lake and pond restoration efforts. “They include the engineering, land use, understanding the water flows, the storage parameters (参数): How were the steps built? Where was the palm tree planted? How was the canal cut?” Krishnamurthy says, “So we take lessons from the past, and adapting them to the present-day challenges is what we are carrying out.”
Despite his extensive experience in recovering freshwater bodies, Krishnamurthy says stepwells are uniquely demanding. Restoring these ancient structures calls for specialized traditional knowledge and craftsmanship — and even after they are revived, human destruction makes their maintenance an ongoing struggle. Krishnamurthy says these stepwells will need public responsibility to safeguard their future.
24. What can we learn about stepwells from paragraph 1?
A. They are freshly constructed water projects.
B. They are built on the ground for easy access.
C. They served multiple purposes in ancient India.
D. They were designed to deal with industrial waste.
25. What does Krishnamurthy think of restoring stepwells?
A. It is a duty and a challenge.
B. It is costly but meaningful.
C. It is easy with modern tools.
D. It is based on lake restoration.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To describe the structure of old stepwells.
B. To stress the necessity of water protection.
C. To explain the difficulty in restoring stepwells.
D. To show the value of ancient stepwell wisdom.
27. What is needed to protect stepwells in the long run according to Krishnamurthy?
A. Steady urbanization. B. Community involvement.
C. Modern engineering. D. More government funding.
C
To the untrained eye, there is very little difference between the three known versions of the artwork The Lute Player. Almost identical in composition, the paintings all portray a young subject, in white clothes and with an instrument in hand, turning slightly away from the viewer. Each appears to carry Italian painter Caravaggio’s distinctive mastery of light and shadow.
To art historians, however, there has long been broad agreement: The versions held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by Caravaggio, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is merely a copy.
A Swiss tech company begged to differ, and it claimed there was an almost 86% chance that Badminton House’s version is authentic. The company’s AI model, which was trained to recognize markers of Caravaggio’s style, including shapes, color palettes and compositional structures, also declared (though with less statistical certainty) that Wildenstein’s version was likely a copy. Its analysis found “a significant difference” between the latter painting’s “visual characteristics” and those of Caravaggio’s other works.
The company’s declarations have not always contradicted the established scholarship. It claimed that a long-debated painting of Vincent van Gogh at the National Museum in Oslo had a 97% chance of being genuine. The Vincent van Gogh authorship was later matched by more conventional research, including technical analyses and studies of the artist’s letters.
The company’s authentication approach combines machine learning, deep neural networks and computer vision algorithms (算法). To date, the company has produced models for over 200 artists. In each, the AI is trained on two photographic datasets: a “positive” one, containing images of recognized paintings by the artist mentioned, and a “negative” one comprising similar but inauthentic works. The company emphasized that having a “high degree of similarity” between the two datasets to learn the difference is crucial.
“I have reservations about it. Authentication is rarely just about surface style,” said art historian Sharon Hecker. “You have to know about the workshop, practices, materials, the condition of the work, the restoration history, and how a particular artist’s work evolved over time.”
28. What do we know about the three versions of The Lute Player?
A. They are recognized as Caravaggio’s artworks.
B. They differ greatly in composition and light use.
C. They look almost the same to non-professionals.
D. They are refused by famous European museums.
29. Why is the Vincent van Gogh’s painting mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To prove AI research has its reliability.
B. To show the limits of traditional art study.
C. To compare different creating styles of art.
D. To stress the difficulty in painting creation.
30. What is Sharon Hecker’s attitude to the AI authentication method?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Joins in Artwork Identification
B. Conflicts of Caravaggio’s Artworks
C. AI Represents Traditional Art Appreciation
D. Approaches to Preserving Old Masterpieces

A new study sheds light on how methane (甲烷) is produced in the open ocean. Researchers at the University of Rochester identified the process could grow stronger as global temperatures rise.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, yet scientists have long been puzzled by an unusual pattern. Surface ocean waters regularly release methane into the atmosphere, even though these waters contain plenty of oxygen. Traditionally, methane formation has been linked to environments without oxygen, such as wetlands or deep ocean sediments.
To better understand this contradiction, the research team combined global data with computer simulations. They found that certain microbes (微生物) can produce methane as they break down organic material, but only when phosphate, a key nutrient, is in short supply. This discovery changes how scientists view methane production in marine environments.
The study also highlights how climate change could influence this process in the future. As the ocean warms, the difference in density between surface water and deeper layers increases. This is expected to slow the upward and downward mixing that carries nutrients like phosphate up from depth. With less mixing, fewer nutrients reach the surface. The team’s model shows that this could leave surface waters increasingly depleted of phosphate, creating favorable conditions for methane-producing microbes.
If methane production rises, more of this gas could escape into the atmosphere. Because methane is so effective at trapping heat, this creates the risk of an intensifying cycle: Warmer oceans lead to higher methane emission, which then contributes to further warming.
Importantly, this cycle mechanism is not yet included in most major climate models. As scientists work to improve predictions, accounting for processes like this may be crucial for understanding how quickly climate change will progress. “Our work will help fill a key gap in climate prediction, which often ignores interactions between the changing environment and natural greenhouse gas sources to the atmosphere,” says Thomas Weber, one member of the research team.
32. What puzzled scientists about methane in the open ocean?
A. It is produced in deep ocean. B. It is fading in trapping heat.
C. It arises in oxygen-rich water. D. It speeds up ocean warming.
33. What does the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Warned. B. Composed. C. Accused. D. Starved.
34. What can be inferred about the cycle mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. It relies on sufficient phosphate.
B. It could speed up global warming.
C. It is included in most climate models.
D. It weakens methane’s warming effect.
35. What does Thomas Weber think of their discovery?
A. It applies to specific ocean regions.
B. It’s a missing link in climate models.
C. It’s a result based on ideal conditions.
D. It works in controlling climate change.

As you know, your bones are living tissue. ____36____ When the growth of new bone tissue does not keep up with the loss of old bone tissue, you may develop a medical condition called osteoporosis (骨质疏松).
Normal bones have many tiny holes. With osteoporosis, the bones become so thin in places that even a simple cough can result in a bone fracture (骨折). About 200 million people worldwide have osteoporosis. Health experts say that number will increase greatly as more people get older. ____37____ Usually, people get osteoporosis for a lack of calcium or vitamin D.
Even people who exercise often can have low bone density. This can lead to osteoporosis. Take cyclist Dean Hargett as an example. Every week, Hargett bikes more than 160 kilometers. This exercise benefits his heart, but it does little for his bones. He was surprised when the doctors told him that he had low bone density. ____38____
To help your bones stay healthy, the National Osteoporosis Foundation in the US suggests doing weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises. ____39____ They are dancing, hiking, jogging, running, jumping rope, stair climbing and tennis. For muscle-strengthening exercises, it suggests lifting weights.
____40____ Get enough calcium and vitamin D. New research shows that vitamin K may also be good for your bones. Good sources of vitamin K include dark leafy greens. In daily life, cut down on your salt use and avoid too much soda as well. These two substances can affect how your body uses calcium.
A. After all, everyone’s bones weaken with age.
B. And they’re always breaking down and regrowing.
C. Osteoporosis can be prevented according to experts.
D. Remember that what you put into your body matters too.
E. There are examples of high-impact weight-bearing exercises.
F. So, even if you’re very active, that doesn’t mean you have strong bones.
G. All in all, unhealthy lifestyles have a negative impact on your bone health.

67. 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。
Luke grew up in a modest family in the small town of Cedarville. His parents worked hard to make ends meet, but they always made sure Luke felt loved and secure. After graduating from high school, Luke moved to a big city to pursue his college degree in social work. During his studies, he often volunteered at local shelters and community centers. There, he met many children sleeping on the floor or on old, worn-out couches. Those children looked tired and unhappy, and their lack of proper sleeping arrangements broke Luke’s heart. He knew he had to do something to change this situation.
Inspired by what he witnessed during his volunteer work, Luke decided to establish an organization called Sleep in Fantastic Peace (SFP). His motivation was simple yet powerful: to ensure that every child in need could have a comfortable bed to sleep in. The purpose of the organization was to build and deliver beds to children across the United States who didn’t have one of their own.
Initially, Luke built beds himself with his family. The effort grew rapidly as local communities joined, driven by Luke’s passion. Over the years, SFP grew steadily. They built and delivered thousands of beds to children in different states. But Luke always dreamed of doing something even bigger, something that could make a huge impact in a short period.
That opportunity came when Luke decided to organize a massive bed-building event in the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina. The goal was to build 3,000 beds in just 24 hours for children who didn’t have a bed of their own. To achieve this, Luke and his team worked tirelessly on the planning. They created a detailed schedule, divided the volunteers into different teams, and arranged for the delivery of all the necessary materials.
On the event day, more than 2,500 volunteers flooded into the Charlotte Convention Center. They came from all walks of life — students, corporate teams, and families — united by a single purpose.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The work of building beds began in the volunteers’ busy activities.
